I am an insect

Tai Ge saw this and gasped.

He bought this knife; it's of excellent quality. The blade is so sharp that it's impossible for a human to break it with just their bare hands. Is this guy some kind of monster?

The thugs stared wide-eyed at Ji Ye, their faces filled with horror.

Holding a brick in his hand, Wang Qinshu, who had intended to help his father, was also dumbfounded, his heart pounding. It seemed that his guess was right; his father was indeed a reclusive master. His skill of breaking a knife blade with his bare hands alone could attract countless fans online.

Seeing that this move had intimidated the thugs, Ji Ye threw the broken switchblade on the ground and said, "If you dare to come looking for Qin Shu again, I'll castrate you, just like this broken knife. I have plenty of ways to make sure you don't have any visible external injuries, but I can still hurt you from the inside. If any of you aren't afraid, feel free to try."

Ji Ye knew that these thugs were brave and violent, and even if he said he would kill them, he might not be able to intimidate them. After all, this is a society governed by law, and they would think that he was just talking nonsense and trying to scare them.

But if I really have the means to cripple their little brother and can't detect any external injuries, then the situation is completely different.

Seeing Ji Ye's amazing feat of breaking the blade with his bare hands, who would dare not believe what he says now?

All the thugs felt a chill run down their spines; it was a terrifying sensation.

No man is without fear, especially since they are all so young. No one wants to become a eunuch at such a young age.

"I...we...will never...come to see...Wang...Qinshu again..."

Tai Ge lost two teeth, his face was deformed, and he even spoke with a lisp and unclear speech.

Looking at their expressions, Ji Ye nodded in satisfaction and said to Wang Qinshu, "Son, let's go home."

After saying that, he walked out of the alleyway first.

Wang Qinshu, who was holding a brick, suddenly realized what was happening. He nodded repeatedly, dropped the brick, and ran to catch up with Ji Ye. His eyes were shining with excitement. In addition to awe, he now admired his father even more.

I never imagined my dad was so amazing. If I could learn a few moves from him, I'd be unstoppable! I'd never have to be afraid of anyone again.

After Ji Ye and Wang Qinshu left the alley, the two uninjured thugs rushed over to help Tai Ge.

Looking at Tai Ge's face, which was swollen like a pig's head and his eyes were squeezed into slits, he looked extremely ridiculous.

They wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare, so they had to hold it in.

"Brother Tai, are you alright?" Two thugs helped Brother Tai up, one on each side.

Tai suddenly groaned. Ji Ye had kicked his right arm, and he felt like the bones inside were broken. The pain from the thug's touch made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Look at me... do you think... I'm alright...?"

"Hurry up and grab your phone...make a call..."

After Tai Ge said that, the two thugs finally realized what was happening and hurriedly grabbed their phones.

"Brother Tai, should we call the police?"

No sooner had the thug finished speaking than Tai Dai raised his still-mobile left hand and slapped him across the face.

"What the hell are you thinking? I said I was calling an ambulance. I've been around for so long, I'm not exactly a nobody in this area. Now I've been tricked and gotten hurt. I can only admit I'm not good enough, it's not too shameful. But if word gets out that I called the police because I couldn't beat them, how am I supposed to stay in this business? How am I supposed to save face for my brother Tai?"

The thug's face turned red after being slapped. He cursed inwardly, but dared not show it on the surface. He nodded and agreed, then called an ambulance.

"Brother Tai, are we just going to let it go like this?" Another thug thought for a moment and couldn't help but speak up. He knew that Brother Tai wasn't the most powerful; there were other forces behind him. The boss that Brother Tai followed was a big thug who was quite famous in the area. If Brother Tai asked the boss for help, maybe he could get revenge.

Tai Ge lay on the ground, gently touching his face, wincing in pain. Hearing the thug's question, he thought for a moment before saying, "Wang Qinshu's father is no ordinary person. I was fortunate enough to meet a retired provincial Sanda champion at a dinner table once. He was a provincial champion, not a national one, but he was still very skilled. I saw him demonstrate his skills; although he was very fast, I could still barely see them clearly."

"But when I saw Wang Qinshu's father do it, I really couldn't see it at all. It was too fast, especially breaking the blade with his bare hands. I have never heard of anyone being able to do that before."

Another thug had already picked up the switchblade that Ji Ye had broken and the broken blade. He tested its hardness and couldn't help but exclaim, "Good heavens! I was just wondering if the knife was of poor quality, but I didn't expect the blade to be so thick. I really can't understand how it could be broken like this."

Tai sighed and said, "Yeah, this guy is really something else, he's like a monster. He must have been a powerful figure in the past, maybe even a legendary assassin. He's just living in hiding here now."

Hearing what Brother Tai said, everyone was a little scared. After all, they were just small-time thugs. They thought of the world-class assassins they often saw in movies, who killed without blinking an eye and were far beyond their ability to deal with.

"So, he really has the ability to kill us without showing any external injuries, or rather, cripple our little brothers?" another thug couldn't help but ask.

Tai nodded and said, "Of course, let alone us, even if I really went to Kai Ge, he wouldn't be able to handle someone like that. We can only consider ourselves unlucky and have kicked a hornet's nest. Remember, don't go looking for Wang Qinshu again. That guy is blind. His own father is so powerful, yet he still comes out to hang out with us."

Tai shook his head as he spoke, thinking to himself that if his father were that capable, he could easily learn a few tricks and money wouldn't be a problem. After all, what's the ultimate goal in this world? It's all about money.

Ji Ye led Wang Qinshu upstairs. On the way, Wang Qinshu finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Dad, who were you before? Why were you so amazing?"

Ji Ye stopped, turned his head to look at Wang Qinshu, and saw the hopeful look on his face, knowing that he was very curious.

He paused for a moment before saying, "Qinshu, your father's identity is a secret. You are still young, and there are some things you shouldn't know. Your father doesn't want you to get involved either. In short, it's a secret, and you must keep it a secret for your father and never tell anyone else."

Hearing his father speak so solemnly, Wang Qinshu, though only vaguely understanding, felt very excited. It seemed his guess was right; his father was indeed no ordinary person and must have uncovered some enormous secret, which was why his father had endured for so many years, living in seclusion here as an ordinary person.

He nodded hurriedly, indicating that he understood.

"Let's go home and have dinner."

When they arrived home, Wu Yumei breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing them return safely, and then busied herself asking about what had happened.
