Hou Kangyang and Hou Guang both drove away their original wives, took Hou Liang's money, and remarried young and beautiful new wives.
Previously, Hou Liang's annual salary as Xiong Zhentian's personal bodyguard exceeded five million.
Hou Liang had been Xiong Zhentian's bodyguard for many years and had saved a lot of money.
After Hou Liang was injured, Xiong Zhentian compensated him with a one-time payment of ten million. In addition, he would regularly transfer money to Hou Liang for his living and medical expenses.
When Hou Liang became paralyzed and immobile, all this money fell into the hands of Hou Kangyang and Hou Guang.
Wu Chunxia and Deng Nana came downstairs and looked at Hou Liang on the bed with disgust.
Wu Chunxia said, "Second brother, I think we should reduce his food intake from now on. Just one meal and one drink a day is enough! Every time Nana and I clean up, it disgusts us to death!"
"I agree!"
Hou Guang also came down and said, "The more he eats, the more he excretes. If we feed him less, we'll have less trouble!"
Deng Nana was somewhat swayed.
However, she looked at the emaciated Hou Liang on the bed and immediately said, "But we're already feeding him very little. If we reduce it further, will it be dangerous? What if he dies then?"
"If he dies, he dies!" Wu Chunxia said casually, "It's for the best if he dies, and we won't have to take care of him anymore!"
"Chunxia, you misunderstood me..."
Deng Nana explained, "It's not that I care about whether he lives or dies, but if he dies, his boss will stop sending money!"
After all, Xiong Zhentian was currently sending Hou Liang a hundred thousand yuan every month. If that stopped, they would lose a lot.
Hou Kangyang, Hou Guang, and Wu Chunxia all nodded in agreement, finding her point reasonable.
However, Hou Kangyang quickly added, "His boss, besides sending money monthly, came twice when we first brought him back. After that, he never came again!"
"I think even if Hou Liang dies, as long as we don't say anything, his boss won't know he's dead, and the money will still come in every month!"
The pupils of Hou Guang and the other two flashed with a bright light.
Immediately, Deng Nana looked at Hou Liang with vicious eyes and said, "Since that's the case, we don't need to reduce his food intake. Let's just kill him today! That way, we'll be completely free and won't have to clean up after him anymore!"
"..."
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, Hou Kangyang, Hou Guang, and Wu Chunxia were all stunned.
As they snapped back to their senses, all three were tempted, and their gazes towards Hou Liang turned unfriendly, cruel, and filled with murderous intent.
Hou Liang felt both anger and fear. "Wh-what do you want to do? Kangyang, Guangzi, you can't do this, you can't..."
Hou Kangyang ignored him and quickly made up his mind, saying to Deng Nana, "Go, get a pillow!"
"Oh, okay!"
Deng Nana quickly ran off to get a pillow.
"Big brother, don't blame us for being heartless. You're suffering now, and we're helping you find release sooner!" Hou Kangyang said.
"That's right, big brother. It's better for you and for us if you die!" Hou Guang added.
"No, no..."
Hou Liang wanted to escape, but he couldn't even sit up.
He could only weakly twist his body and move further into the bed.
Seeing this, Hou Kangyang, Hou Guang, and Wu Chunxia ignored him, waiting for Deng Nana to bring the pillow.
...
After nearly three hours of driving, the car driven by Qin Yi and the other two finally arrived at Huangshui Village.
To their surprise, as soon as their car entered the village and before they reached Hou Liang's villa, several villagers who were working in the fields immediately ran over.
"Boss! Is that Hou Liang's boss?"
Several villagers stopped the car and asked the occupants.
Qin Yi, Xiong Zhentian, and Leng Feng were confused.
Xiong Zhentian rolled down the window and asked them, "I am Hou Liang's boss. Is there something you need?"
"It really is you, big boss!"
A villager recognized Xiong Zhentian and said with great joy, "Big boss, you've finally arrived! Please, go and help Hou Liang quickly. He's in a terrible state now, living in the basement, only eating leftovers every day, and being treated like an animal by his two brothers!"
Xiong Zhentian had visited Huangshui Village twice before, driving the same car, so the villagers immediately ran over when they saw their vehicle.
These villagers were the same ones who had argued with Hou Guang at the villa entrance earlier.
"What did you say???" Xiong Zhentian was shocked.
Qin Yi showed a look of astonishment.
Then, without any hesitation, the villagers spoke one after another, recounting Hou Liang's situation at home.
After listening, Xiong Zhentian's anger erupted instantly.
His face turned so dark it looked like it was about to bleed.
"Leng Feng, drive, quickly!"
Leng Feng quickly started the car and drove towards Hou Liang's villa.
Two minutes later, the car stopped in the courtyard in front of the villa.
The three got out of the car.
Xiong Zhentian glanced at the two luxury cars parked nearby, his expression becoming even more grim. Without a word, he walked directly into the villa.
Qin Yi and Leng Feng followed.
Since the villagers had mentioned earlier that Hou Liang lived in the basement, the three did not see anyone upon entering the villa and headed straight for the basement.
"Wuwu, wuwu..."
"Big brother, stop struggling. Just lie still, and you'll suffer less!"
"Damn it, we barely feed you, and you still have so much strength!"
"Guangzi, you hold his shoulders! Chunxia, Nana, you hold his hands and feet. Let's see how he can move!"
As Qin Yi and the other two entered the basement, they saw Hou Kangyang holding a large pillow, pressing it firmly onto Hou Liang's head.
Hou Guang, Wu Chunxia, and Deng Nana were holding Hou Liang's shoulders, hands, and feet respectively, preventing him from struggling.
Upon seeing this scene, Xiong Zhentian's volcano erupted, and he roared, "Stop!"
At the same time, he lunged forward and kicked Hou Kangyang away.
Leng Feng also moved at his fastest speed, delivering three kicks that sent Hou Guang and the other two sprawling on the ground.
Xiong Zhentian removed the pillow and saw the emaciated Hou Liang below. His body trembled uncontrollably.
Qin Yi stared at Hou Liang's appearance, stunned.
The man's condition clearly indicated long-term malnutrition and severe abuse!
Leng Feng's eyes turned red, and his anger condensed into a palpable aura!
He and Hou Liang were former colleagues and brothers-in-arms! Seeing the other person abused to this state, and with Hou Kangyang and the others attempting to kill Hou Liang just now, how could he not be enraged?
Hou Kangyang and the other three sat on the ground, and upon seeing that it was Xiong Zhentian, they were all greatly alarmed.
Hou Kangyang scrambled to his feet, speaking incoherently with fear.
"Xiong, Xiong Master, why are you here..."
