to help them with all my strength.
"Big Brother, don’t just keep your eyes closed! Open them and look at me! I know I was wrong."
Cao Yangming waved his hand, and several Martial Artists stepped forward.
They grabbed Sun Leibo’s arms from either side, wrenched them behind his back, and slammed him to the ground.
Ignoring the pain from his twisted arms, Sun Leibo’s expression immediately turned vicious.
He saw that his big brother, Sun Xuesong, was growing calm—and even a little impatient.
Sun Xuesong’s mind flashed back to the agonizing scene of their second brother’s death. The cabinet had been incredibly heavy.
When it had crashed down on him, their brother had instantly coughed up a huge pool of blood.
But their brother had kept shouting for him, the eldest, to get everyone else and run.
He had laid on the ground, screaming desperately for the Evil Spirit to just hurry up and devour him.
Later, after they were safe, Sun Xuesong had returned to the spot where his brother had been crushed.
His brother’s body was mangled beyond recognition, a truly horrific sight.
He could only imagine that when the swarm of Evil Spirits descended,
his brother had been lying alone in a pool of his own blood,
enduring unimaginable mental anguish and the agony of his flesh being devoured by the Evil Spirits.
Just a moment ago, seeing his third brother’s pathetic display, Sun Xuesong had felt a flicker of pity.
Their parents had, after all, told him that as the eldest,
he was expected to shoulder the responsibility of a big brother and do more to help his two younger brothers.
Their second brother had been the most honest and unassuming of them, yet he had met such a pitiful end.
Suddenly, it all clicked for Sun Xuesong. ’His third brother would never change.’
’This so-called remorse is just something he says—an excuse to escape punishment.’
’Letting someone like him live would be a betrayal to their second brother.’
So Sun Xuesong was already steeling himself to accept it. If Chu He hadn’t been here this time,
his own family would have met the same fate.
If he continued to show mercy to someone like his third brother, then he, Sun Xuesong, would be a complete fool.
"Big Brother, you call yourself a big brother?
You heartless, ungrateful bastard!
You’re a disgrace to our parents! You’ve forgotten everything they asked of you!"
Seeing that playing pitiful was useless, Sun Leibo started spewing curses and screaming in desperation.
But Cao Yangming wasn’t about to indulge him. Eager to impress Chu He,
he strode forward and delivered a vicious punch, completely shattering Sun Leibo’s jaw.
The blow rendered him unable to speak, and only muffled whimpers could escape his lips.
It was impossible to tell if he was still trying to curse or simply wailing in agony.
"Drag all three of them away. Make it clean,"
Cao Yangming ordered.
The Martial Artists behind him scrambled to their feet.
Without another word, they hauled away Sun Yuzhe, who had pissed his pants in fear, along with the utterly stupefied Yang Ling, and quickly exited the courtyard.
Cao Yangming looked at the bloody mess on the ground and the floor damaged by the kowtowing. "Mr. Chu," he said, "I’ll contact a renovation crew today.
Qian Huixiong runs a real estate company. He has plenty of renovation crews on hand.
I guarantee they’ll get this courtyard spotless."
"Have them renovate the two courtyards to the right as well,"
Chu He said.
"No problem. If Mr. Chu wants it done, I’ll make sure it’s done perfectly."
Cao Yangming nodded eagerly.
’That old man and woman are good people. I might as well use this chance to give them a little reward for their kindness.’
At a signal from Chu He, Cao Yangming dragged the unconscious Qian Huixiong and the others out of the courtyard.
The courtyard fell quiet once more.
"When does your Martial Arts assessment start?" Chu He asked.
"In one week," Sun Canxing replied after a moment’s thought.
...
During that week—whether it was on Qian Huixiong’s orders or Cao Yangming’s arrangement is unknown—
no fewer than three separate renovation crews showed up.
With one crew assigned to each courtyard, the work progressed with astonishing speed.
Meanwhile, the old couple, Sun Canxing’s family, and Chu He himself
were all put up in Haitong City’s most luxurious hotel.
During this time, Chu He put Sun Canxing through a hellish training regimen.
To Sun Canxing, the amount of training he did in those seven days felt like more than he’d done in the entire past year.
When the seven days were up, Chu He and Sun Canxing set off for the exam site.
"Mr. Chu, after the exam today,
a classmate invited me to a graduation party at their house.
They’re bringing their Martial Arts instructors, too.
Do you want to come with me?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Sun Canxing looked up from his phone and asked hopefully.
