Back during the days when he was still attending junior high school in town, Xie Hu had already proclaimed himself as the boss of the junior high. He based this on the fact that he came from an influential family.
At that time, Xue An was a student with good academic results but did not have any relatives. Because of this, Xie Hu often picked on him and bullied him.
After Xue An left Green Wheat Town, word spread quickly that Xie Hu was expelled from the school because he had raped a girl.
This person was the typical scum of society.
Despite this, he seemed to have become successful and was thriving and prospering in society.
Xue Lan looked a little concerned. “Xie Hu has built his notorious reputation around town. Everyone now knows that anyone who dares to meddle with his matters will be killed. Everyone in town is afraid of him. No one dares to stand up against him!”
Xue An nodded. “Thank you so much, Lan’er.”
Xue Lan shook her head and said, “Brother An, don’t blame my parents. They are just afraid too!”
Xue An smiled. Then he looked down at Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, and said, “Let’s go, Papa will take you girls to dinner at the hotel we saw earlier today.”
Xue Lan was flustered upon hearing that and said, “Brother An, don’t act on impulse. Xie Hu is quite a powerful man now. I heard that he has many men working for him, and they are all very good fighters. You…”
Xue An smiled faintly and changed the topic. “Lan’er, have you eaten?”
“Me? I haven’t had anything to eat.”
“Great, let’s grab something to eat together.”
Xue Lan still wanted to say something, but when she saw the look in Xue An’s eyes, she stopped herself.
All of a sudden, Xue Lan realized that the gentle and shy Brother An she used to know had changed. He is now an unfamiliar stranger.
The pair of eyes that she was looking into was deep and intense. They looked like two unfathomable dark pools. They would be a daunting sight for anyone else indeed.
Not long after, Xue An walked up to the doorstep of the fancy hotel building. It was called the Yuelai Hotel.
It was well-decorated, but it was also filled with the kitsch of a small town.
Xue An walked in, his face devoid of any expression. He was followed by his two little girls, as well as Xue Lan who had a reticent expression on her face.
Because of its excellent location and the constant flow of human traffic in Green Wheat Town, the configuration of everything in this place was no different from those found in the city.
There were also managers and waiters in the main lobby.
Upon seeing Xue An walking in, a waiter came over to speak to them.
“Sir, may I ask if you are here for dinner?”
Xue An nodded.
“Well, then this way, please.”
Xue An did not move. He merely asked casually, “Is Xie Hu around?”
The smile on the waiter’s face faded away.
“You’re asking for our boss?”
“Yes!”
“May I ask, what can I do for you?”
“I just have some old scores that I plan to settle with him!”
The waiter flashed a knowing look at this colleagues. It was a signal, because all of a sudden, a dozen or so burly security guards rushed out and surrounded Xue An.
The lobby manager walked over and sneered.”Kid, if you get lost right now, I will go easy on you and overlook this matter!”
Xue An suddenly laughed and said, “Xiangxiang, Niannian, would you two like Papa to perform another magic trick?”
“Yes, yes!”
The lobby manager scoffed. He wasn’t intimidated by Xue An at all. “You and your pretentious tricks. Beat him up!”
The security guards quickly rushed forward and flocked around him. Xue An stood with his hands behind his back and merely lowered his eyes as he lightly cried out: “On your knees!”
Immediately, everyone dropped to their knees in one fell swoop as though it was a synchronized action.
“Papa, why are they all kneeling on the ground?” Xue Xiang asked.
“Maybe they find it too tiring to talk to the two of you while standing. Kneeling might be more comfortable for them.”
This explanation was perfect.
At least, it convinced Xue Xiang and Xue Nian.
But the lobby manager wanted to cry instead.
Xue An walked up to stand before him. “Now, let me ask you again. Where is Xie Hu?”
The lobby manager gritted his teeth and said, “When our boss returns, he will not let you off! Just you wait!”
Xue An smiled and said, “Very well then! I’ll be waiting!”
As he spoke, Xue An placed his hand on the lobby manager’s shoulder.
Crack.
With just a pat, Xue An had shattered his shoulder into pieces. This lobby manager cried out in pain but Xue An was having none of it. “Shut up!”
The lobby manager could not make any sound! And yet, he was in such great pain that he was sweating profusely. He could only look at Xue An with eyes filled with despair!
“Prepare the dishes, we will eat while waiting,” Xue An said to the few female waitresses who were keeping their distance, trembling in fear.
Soon, a table was set up in the lobby.
It was a very sumptuous spread. The two little girls were scarfing down the food with extreme joy. They were so focused that nothing could divert their attention away from the food.
Xue Lan, on the other hand, found it somewhat difficult to swallow her food.
After all, she could not help but look at the men that were kneeling on the ground right now. These were the guys who were usually swaggering around town being a menace to everyone else.
Xue An took a few bites of his food, then began to pour himself a drink.
This wine tasted quite good. It was the wild fruits wine, a special local product of Green Wheat Mountain.
The first sip reminded him of his childhood.
As they continued to eat, everyone else in the hotel lobby were casting their eyes over at Xue An’s table.
Many people were hiding in the distance as they whispered to one another. Most of them had already considered Xue An as a dead man walking.
“When Boss Xie returns in a while, I reckon blood will be spilled!”
“You’re absolutely right! This man is so arrogant that he doesn’t even realize where he’s actually at!”
These comments made Xue Lan even more afraid.
“Brother An, why don’t we just leave first?”
“Leave? Why do you want to leave?”
“When Xie Hu comes back in a while…”
Xue An smiled and said, “He’s the one I’m waiting for.”
The moment his words were said, there were footsteps outside. Xie Hu could be heard talking to someone. His voice sounded respectful and even flattering. “Miss Chen, this way please,” he said.
When the group of people walked into the main lobby, they were shocked and froze in their tracks.
The scene that greeted them was truly mind-boggling.
A dozen or so burly men were kneeling on the ground, backs straight and eyes forward.
To the side of the room was a single dining table. There, a man and a woman, together with two children, were eating.
“What’s going on?” The look in Xie Hu’s eyes instantly turned cold.
Today, he had gone to great lengths to invite a distinguished guest from Middle Capital to his hotel.
But now, the first thing that she saw in the hotel made him feel so humiliated.
“Boss, it’s all this guy’s doing,” said the leader of the security guards, loudly. “We don’t know what trick he pulled to make all of us kneel on the ground like this. But we can’t seem to get back up!”
With a somber expression, Xie Hu looked at Xue An, who was pouring himself another drink. In a gloomy voice, he said, “Where are you from? Do you even know what place this is? How dare you come to my place to stir trouble? Are you courting your own death?”
Xue An put down his wine glass and looked up at Xie Hu.
“Isn’t this the Xue family’s old house?”
The moment he said this, Xie Hu’s expression changed dramatically. He stared hard at Xue An.
“You… You are…”
Before he could complete his thought, the woman that was standing next to him interrupted rudely. “Manager Xie, it seems that you have something else to attend to.”
Xie Hu hurriedly put on a flattering smile.
“No, it’s okay. Don’t worry about anything. This is nothing more than a trivial matter. I can deal with this situation immediately.”
He turned to look at Xue An and said with a sneer, “Xue An, I didn’t expect you to be alive. What do you want? Are you here looking for me?”
Xue An leaned back in his chair to look at Xie Hu, who was an influential social climber. “Well,” he said after some thought, “initially I was here to find you and settle some old scores.”
Xie Hu angrily replied, “Settle scores?”
Xue An simply smiled. “But now, I’ve changed my mind! What’s the point in settling old scores? Just kill and that’s it!”
“What did you say? Just kill? You want to kill me? Ha ha ha!” Xie Hu mocked Xue An in disbelief.
Till now, he still remembered Xue An as the gentle young man he knew during his schooling days.
Xue An however, did not react to his mockery. Instead, he raised his glass to drink a toast to Xie Hu. “I wish you bon voyage!”
“Bon vo…”
Before Xie Hu could finish what he wanted to say, Xue An had already rushed in front of him in a blink of an eye. Xie Hu did not even realize it when he was grabbed by the neck and lifted up into the air.
As usual, these actions were shielded by Xue An to ensure that they would not be seen by his two precious daughters.
Everything happened very quickly. Xie Hu was grabbed by the neck, his face turned a bluish-purple, and his hands were spreadeagled like a plane while his legs struggled to find footing. It was obvious that he was in extreme agony.
Xue An looked at the woman who was standing by the side and said with a smile, “I’m sorry, are you his friend?”
Despite everything that was going on, the woman did not appear to be scared at all. On the contrary, she was looking at Xue An with deep interest.
“No!”

With that, Xue An gently squeezed his hand until a cracking sound was heard.
Xie Hu’s neck was snapped into two.
Even at the moment just before he died, Xie Hu never expected Xue An to actually go ahead and kill him.
So up to the point of death, Xie Hu’s eyes were still filled with disbelief and… deep regret!
