Xiao Yi had always trusted the people he used and used the people he trusted. But it did not mean that he would not be aware if there were people who wanted to betray him.

  He cared about his relationships and if it wasn’t that he was driven up to the wall, he would have let people live most of the time!

  Long Ye realized that he had touched Xiao Yi’s bottom line. When Xiao Yi became the in-charge, he had told them that Xia Yanran was his woman and if anyone dared to touch her or her family, he would not let them off.

  He was really good to the people he cared about.

  Other than Xia Yanran, there were also them. Every year, the bonuses they received would be much higher than other associations.

  It was only in the face of death that Long Ye thought of Xiao Yi’s good side. He also suddenly understood that not everyone could become an in-charge, and could make people submit to them.

  Xiao Yi had that ability and charisma. He could let his subordinates have real faith in him.

  Long Ye looked at Xiao Yi, who had a dark expression and cold eyes. He ignored the injury in his legs and got down from the wheelchair, kneeling on the ground. “Brother Xiao, I was wrong. Give me another chance!”


  There was no expression on Xiao Yi’s handsome face, but Long Ye was trembling in fear.

  Long Ye kept kowtowing with his tears running down his face and nose running. “Brother Xiao, I made a mistake. I swear there won’t be a next time! Brother Xiao, please give me another chance!”


  Xiao Yi narrowed his deep eyes and looked at Long Ye coldly. “I’ve already given you a chance.”


  Xiao Yi’s cold eyes turned bloodshot and the vein on the back of his hand protruded out. “You’re the one who wanted to kill me. Isn’t there a saying that says that being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself?”


  “I don’t want your life, but I want you to know what it feels like to be in a living hell.”


  Long Ye curled up painfully on the ground, like he was being sentenced to death. Although Xiao Yi did not end his life, he was like Junyuan, his important part crippled for life.

  For a man, it was a hundred times more painful than death!

  Xiao Yi did not take another look at Long Ye and left the room with a murderous air.

  After he had sat in the car, Xiao Feng chased out after him on crutches.

  “Brother Xiao.”


  Xiao Yi nodded expressionlessly and Xiao Feng opened the door, getting in.

  The chauffeur started the car and smoked filled the silent car.

  Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Yi who was smoking and he lowered his head, saying guiltily, “Brother Xiao, I’m sorry about hurting Miss Xia’s brother.”


  Xiao Yi flicked the cigarette ash and looked at Xiao Feng with his eyes narrowed. “I know your personality. If you weren’t provoked, you wouldn’t have hurt him.”


  Xiao Feng lowered his head, feeling more guilty. “I was just afraid that Brother Xiao would leave the association for Mis Xia’s sake.”


  Xiao Yi tilted his head slightly and blew out a mouthful of smoke, his outline became hidden in the smoke. “Tomorrow, go with me to look for Ninth Master.”
……

  Ninth Master was a respected elder and was also the elder in-charge before.

  Xiao Yi found him and told him about wanting to leave the association. Ninth Master, who was in his eighties, could understand his thoughts.

  No matter how powerful a person was when he was old, if he could not have a house full of children and grandchildren, it did not make much sense to live.

  “Ah Yi, many people covet your position, I admire your courage of not wanting it.” Ninth Master touched his long white beard. “I also had the same thought as you before. But after retiring and having no power in my hands, I lost my family. If the association is not supporting you from behind, how can you live in peace and stability!”


  Xiao Feng sat beside Xiao Yi and said cautiously, “Brother Xiao, Ninth Master is right!”


  Xiao Yi understood this. But once he had decided, he would not change his mind that easily.

  “Ninth Master, I’ve already made up my mind. Is there a way for me and those people to end it in one go?”


  Ninth Master was silent for a moment. “Twenty years ago, someone wanted to leave too. In order to draw a line with those people, he followed the rules, but he did not get through it.”


  Xiao Yi raised his eyebrow. “What do you mean?”


  “There was a rule in the past. If a person in charge wanted to quit, he had to invite all the in-charges and let them beat him with a stick. If he was still alive at the end, they would go their own ways and have nothing to do with one another again.”


  Xiao Yi pursed his lips and did not speak.

  Xiao Feng stood up from the chair. “No way, Brother Xiao. In that case, is it even possible to still be alive after that?”


  Ninth Master nodded. “Ah Yi, why do you want to gamble your life to give up this seat when you’ve come all this way?”


  Xiao Yi looked up at Ninth Master with a firm gaze. “Help me notify them and say that I want to leave. If I die under the beating, I have no complaints and no regrets!”


  When Xiao Feng saw that Xiao Yi was so determined, his eyes turned red.

  Was it all worth it for a woman?
