The guards' eyes lit up as soon as they heard about the money.
A million was a vast fortune to these guards.
Under the temptation of money, they finally couldn't resist and lunged at Jiang Yi.
"Wait..."
Jiang Yi called out.
"What? Are you scared?"
Young Master Hao burst into laughter, his face filled with smugness.
"You must die today, but if you kowtow to me three times on the ground, I'll give you a quick death. Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't live and can't die..."
"I don't even bother with these guards!"
Jiang Yi finished speaking, stood up from his chair, took off his coat, and chuckled, "Alright, you can start!"
Young Master Hao was furious and shouted, "Kill him for me!"
Without hesitation, the guards surged towards Jiang Yi.
In less than a minute, all twenty-odd guards in the courtyard lay on the ground, screaming like pigs being slaughtered.
They weren't even enough to fill Jiang Yi's teeth.
Young Master Hao's expression turned ugly. Unwilling to accept defeat, he found over thirty more guards and surrounded Jiang Yi.
As a result, these thirty guards met the same fate!
The courtyard was strewn with guards, all groaning in pain and looking thoroughly disheveled.
"Anyone else? Keep coming!"
Jiang Yi said with a smile to Young Master Hao, "It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles. Today, I have plenty of time to spare, so I'll accompany you all for a good workout."
Young Master Hao's face turned green with anger, but he was powerless against Jiang Yi.
Just then, Judge Hao returned.
Seeing all the guards injured, he immediately understood what had happened!
"Slap!"
Judge Hao, in his rage, raised his hand and slapped Young Master Hao.
"You useless brat, you only know how to cause trouble for me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in such a difficult predicament."
"Dad, why are you afraid of mere Jiang Yi? Just kill him! You have so much influence, surely you're not afraid of this kid." Young Master Hao was full of resentment.
"You know nothing!"
Judge Hao cursed.
Judge Hao was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it.
"Jiang Yi, are you really pushing me to a dead end?" Judge Hao asked Jiang Yi.
"I'm not pushing you!"
Jiang Yi said with a slight smile, "You don't have to do as I say. I don't care."
Judge Hao took a deep breath.
He was uncertain if there was any room for negotiation in this matter. Even begging Jiang Yi on his knees would be useless.
"You still have time to make a choice. Once this time is up, I'll help you choose!" Jiang Yi chuckled.
"I promise you, I'll kill Master Qing!"
Judge Hao gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you keep your word. After I kill Master Qing, you'll get out of this courtyard immediately. I don't want to see you again!"
This time, Judge Hao had to swallow this bitter pill.
"It's a deal!" Jiang Yi smiled.
Judge Hao rearranged the guards in the courtyard and then made a phone call to Master Qing.
Between Master Qing and Young Master Hao, Judge Hao chose to kill Master Qing.
Young Master Hao was Judge Hao's biological son, so he naturally wouldn't harm his own son.
An hour later, Master Qing arrived!
Master Qing had no idea what had happened. He had just received a call from Judge Hao, heard that Jiang Yi had been captured, and immediately rushed over.
Master Qing had a good relationship with Judge Hao and didn't bring any of his men with him.
"I never thought Jiang Yi would actually fall into your hands!"
Master Qing said with a smile to Judge Hao, "You've helped me a great deal this time. Jiang Yi is a difficult person to deal with, but in front of you, he's nothing!"
Judge Hao remained silent.
Master Qing then turned his gaze to Jiang Yi and sneered, "Kid, you're dead today. You dared to oppose me, and this is your fate!"
"Master Qing, I think you must have misunderstood!"
Jiang Yi looked at Master Qing and said with a slight smile, "The one who dies today is not me, but you!"
Hearing this, Master Qing's brow furrowed slightly.
Master Qing was an old fox. The moment he entered the courtyard, he sensed that Judge Hao's expression was not quite right.
"Jiang Yi, stop trying to sow discord. Our relationship is beyond your comprehension!" Master Qing said with a snort.
"Is that so?"
Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
"Someone, arrest Master Qing for me!" Judge Hao shouted to the guards in the courtyard.
"Yes!"
The guards responded and walked directly towards Master Qing.
Master Qing's face immediately changed drastically.
"Judge Hao, you're actually making a move against me? Have you forgotten our years of friendship? If I die, you won't have an easy time either!" Master Qing said furiously.
"Master Qing, I have no choice!"
Judge Hao said, "If I don't kill you, I'll have to kill my son. Between the two of you, I can only choose to kill you!"
"Why must you do this?" Master Qing questioned.
"Since you want to know, as friends, I'll let you die with understanding!"
After speaking, Judge Hao told Master Qing the entire sequence of events.
"Master Qing, this is my last resort. I hope you can understand. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have provoked this kid Jiang Yi!"
"The situation has come to this, and I have to make a choice. If I don't kill you, this kid Jiang Yi won't leave this courtyard, and the Commander will definitely not spare me!"
"I was wise my whole life, but in the end, I fell into your hands. I misjudged you!"
Master Qing took a deep breath.
"Master Qing, it was my fault, but I had no choice. After you die, I will definitely burn more paper money for you, and I will worship you every year. This is what I owe you!" Judge Hao said.
"Master Qing, forgive me!"
Judge Hao said, then gave a signal to the guards beside him!
The guards nodded, ready to act.
Suddenly, at an extremely fast speed, Master Qing took down two guards, then directly vaulted over the wall and left the courtyard.
This scene stunned everyone!
No one had expected Master Qing to be so agile!
Even Judge Hao had not expected this; he had known Master Qing for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen Master Qing make a move.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and chase him! If Master Qing gets away, the trouble will be immense!" Judge Hao shouted angrily.
The guards snapped back to attention and hurried in pursuit.
Judge Hao's face sank.
If Master Qing escaped this time, he would definitely retaliate. Judge Hao knew Master Qing's methods.
Jiang Yi smiled faintly. He hadn't stopped Master Qing when he fled. Killing Master Qing like that would have been too easy for him!
Besides, with Master Qing escaping, they would surely fight to the death with Judge Hao.
When both of them were weakened, he could then take them down together, reaping the benefits.
Not long after, the guards returned, but they had not apprehended Master Qing.
