Chapter 195 Self-harm to Apologize
Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Five
Following Wang Sihai's gaze, Brother Xin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at that moment.
He witnessed a scene in his life that he found inconceivable.
It was also a scene he least wanted to have seen.
The boss of his own boss, the chairman of the Sihai Group that reigned over Hechuan City, known in Hechuan as Wang Yanwang, was standing in front of the young man who had just been ordered by him to kneel and bow his head.
His waist almost bent to the ground.
Respectful to the extreme.
As if he was a dog facing its master!
Calling him Brother Long!
Even to a blind man, it was clear that Wang Sihai held this young man in awe.
But.
Who else in Hechuan City could command such reverence from Wang Sihai?
Even if it were Hechuan City's richest man, Zhou Yushan.
In their presence, Wang Sihai would at most show a modicum of respect.
But never such abject subservience, as if a believer had seen a deity.
At this moment, Brother Xin wished he were blind, even harboring a sliver of hope that this was all an illusion, that Wang Sihai had taken the wrong medicine, called out to the wrong person.
However, his hopes were quickly dashed.
For after Wang Sihai had bowed deeply for over ten seconds, Long Xiaoshan finally spoke indifferently, "You're here."
Those ten seconds, Wang Sihai did not even dare to lift his head.
He kept his head down, his waist bent.
Seeing this scene made Brother Xin's legs tremble, and a strong urge to urinate lingered.
"Yes, yes, Brother Long, have you been waiting long?" Wang Sihai's fear of Long Xiaoshan ran deep in his bones; he thought Long Xiaoshan was angry because he had taken too long to arrive, so he did not dare to move.
Even now, he would often wake from nightmares.
Every time, he dreamt the same dream, where Long Xiaoshan sat high above the ninth heaven, his eyes spewing golden flames.
And he would wail and struggle amidst the sky full of golden flames, his body and soul incinerated to ashes.
Such agony, even in sleep, was vivid and terrifying.
This was the Spiritual Force that came with Long Xiaoshan's divine skills; it was not something a mere mortal could withstand, already branded deep into Wang Sihai's soul, never to be erased in this lifetime.

"I haven't waited long," Long Xiaoshan said with a cold sneer on his face as he glanced indifferently at Brother Xin.
Thud!
Brother Xin fell to his knees, pleading, "Brother Long, there's been a misunderstanding, I really didn't know that you, you were... it was all Yang Jun's fault, all him!"
Wang Sihai's face changed.
Who was he? From Long Xiaoshan's cold sneer and Brother Xin's reaction, he immediately thought of an ominous possibility—had his subordinate just offended Long Xiaoshan?
Otherwise, why else would Long Xiaoshan have made him bow for over ten seconds before speaking?
The thought alone made Wang Sihai panic-stricken, as he rushed over, grabbed Brother Xin by the collar, and dragged him in front of Long Xiaoshan.
He growled, "Speak, what did you do?"
Despite Wang Sihai's groveling before Long Xiaoshan like an obedient dog,
He was, in reality, a powerful boss who had reigned over Hechuan for more than a decade.
With assets worth billions.
When he exploded in anger, his fearsome might was such that it terrified minor leaders like Brother Xin into pale submission, trembling as they recounted the entire matter from start to finish.
He didn't dare to conceal the slightest detail.
Hearing that Brother Xin actually dared to covet the woman by Long Xiaoshan's side.
Wang Sihai's face turned green.
The aura of killing in his eyes was unveiled, causing Brother Xin's heart to shatter. As a member of the Sihai Group, he was clearly aware of Wang Sihai's terror and knew that his life was hanging by a thread, and that it was very likely that another body would be added to the bottom of the Xichuan River tonight.
He hurriedly knelt before Long Xiaoshan, constantly kowtowing and pleading, "Brother Long, please spare my life, spare my life. Great men don't dwell on the past, I was truly deceived by that lad Yang Jun."
Bang, bang, bang, after a few knocks, blood was visible on his forehead.
Long Xiaoshan's expression was indifferent.
He had learned to be hard-hearted in prison, and for those who dared to provoke him, he always used thunderous means, never showing mercy.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to intimidate those vicious inmates in Lingxi Prison at such a young age.
Chun Tao, however, felt some pity.
She tugged at Xiaoshan's arm and whispered, "Little Xiaoshan, let it be, we haven't suffered any loss."
Liu Xin, who had made a name for himself in the underworld, was also a perceptive man.
Upon hearing Chun Tao speak up.
He immediately knew that his hope for survival lay entirely upon this woman.
He immediately crawled over to Chun Tao, kowtowing endlessly, "Sister-in-law, I was blind and offended you, I apologize to you."
Having said that, he clenched his own arm and forcefully snapped it: crack.
Liu Xin broke his own arm with brute force, sweating profusely from the pain, but bit his teeth and didn't make a sound.
Chun Tao screamed in fright.
Long Xiaoshan's eyes narrowed.
This guy was indeed ruthless, breaking his own arm for the sake of survival.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan's indifferent silence, Liu Xin gave a bitter smile and said, "Brother Long, Sister-in-law, if this isn't enough, I'll offer my other arm to Brother Long as well."
After saying that, he moved to smash his other hand against the sharp edge of the steps.
Long Xiaoshan kicked him over and said coldly, "Haven't you had enough? Didn't you see you've frightened my girlfriend?"
Liu Xin quickly said, "I deserve to die."
Wang Sihai came over and carefully said, "Brother Long, just say the word and I'll take care of him for you."
Long Xiaoshan glanced at Wang Sihai; he could tell that Wang Sihai still protected Liu Xin somewhat. After all, someone like Liu Xin, who could be so ruthless to himself, was definitely valuable, and if Wang Sihai truly wanted Liu Xin dead, he wouldn't have asked, instead disposing of him silently without a word.
He stood silently with hands behind his back, while Liu Xin knelt on the ground, feeling each second stretch out like an eternity, until he finally heard Long Xiaoshan say indifferently, "Since he's one of your men, I'll give you face this time, but let there be no next time."
Wang Sihai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and fiercely kicked Liu Xin, "Aren't you going to thank Brother Long?"
"Thank you, Brother Long, thank you, Sister-in-law," Liu Xin said, as if he had been granted an amnesty, and fervently kowtowed three times.
Soaked through with sweat, he truly felt as if he had been brought back from the dead.
After finishing his kowtows, he cautiously raised his head and asked, "Brother Long, what about Yang Jun?"
As he spoke, a hint of killing intent emerged in Liu Xin's eyes.
If it weren't for Yang Jun today, he wouldn't have had a brush with death at Ghost Gate, to say nothing of breaking an arm.
Long Xiaoshan didn't respond but said to Wang Sihai, "Let's go and register my girlfriend."
Wang Sihai immediately nodded, "Yes, Brother Long, right this way."
Under Wang Sihai's guidance, Long Xiaoshan approached the Bentley. Wang Sihai personally opened the door and invited Long Xiaoshan and Chun Tao to sit in the back seat before scurrying to the passenger side to open the door and get in.
Watching the Bentley drive away.
It was only then that Liu Xin climbed up from the ground. He saw Yang Jun covering his face, trying to shrink back into the crowd, and with terrifying brilliance in his eyes, he barked, "Catch him for me!"
