To be honest, Wang Hu's performance exceeded Yang Feilong's expectations.
He had been prepared to subdue these people by force, and their sensible behavior made it difficult for Yang Feilong to act further.
After all, he was not someone who would press his advantage relentlessly!
While it was reasonable to punish these individuals for their actions, killing them was out of the question; their crimes did not warrant death.
Furthermore, even if he were to kill or capture them all, would street thugs disappear? No, they would still exist. By sparing Wang Hu, he might be able to offer some protection to the Lou Yitian couple, as their social standing meant they wouldn't easily provoke powerful figures, and having these thugs look out for them would suffice.
Seeing Yang Feilong's fluctuating expression, Wang Hu immediately understood that the other party might not be satisfied. He now vaguely suspected that Yang Feilong had a connection with Lou Yitian's daughter, perhaps she was one of his women!
For such a top-tier young master, having three to five women was considered normal in his eyes!
"Mr. Yang, what we did was indeed wrong. We will repay the loans and also compensate them for their emotional distress." Wang Hu said respectfully, "Of course, if you are not satisfied, please tell us. We will do exactly as you require and will not disappoint you!"
At this moment, Wang Hu's posture was extremely humble, yet despite his low stance, he remained uneasy.
"Compensate them for their losses, and the emotional distress you mentioned. This matter will be dropped!" Yang Feilong said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu was overjoyed. "Thank you, Young Master Yang!"
"Oh, right." Yang Feilong spoke again.
"Please, go on." Wang Hu's heart tensed up.
"Look after the Lou Yitian couple for me! If anything happens to them, I will hold you accountable! I will leave my contact information with you later. If you can't resolve any issues, you can call me!" Yang Feilong said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Young Master, we will definitely protect them!" Wang Hu promised fervently. He was very excited at this moment. This was a big shot. Although they had made mistakes before, they believed that if they could protect Lou Yitian well, Yang Feilong would certainly reward them!
"If you do a good job, perhaps in a while, I will grant you some benefits, allowing you to break through to the True Martial realm! It's even possible you could reach higher levels!" Yang Feilong gave Wang Hu a profound look.
He had initially planned to control them using means like poison, but upon reflection, he decided against it. This Wang Hu was a smart person; a stern warning would be enough to make him understand what to do!
"I will definitely handle your instructions perfectly, Master!" Wang Hu said repeatedly, extremely excited.
The True Martial realm, or even higher? Did he still have a chance in his remaining years? He might not believe others, but this influential figure who had destroyed the Lin family, a top-tier family, was someone he believed was not speaking idly.
"No need to call me Master, just call me Boss!" Yang Feilong said after a moment of thought.
"Yes! Boss!" Wang Hu bowed.
Afterwards, Wang Hu drove his small car and took Yang Feilong back to the Lou family's residence, naturally bringing the money with him.
Seeing Yang Feilong get out of the car, the couple breathed a sigh of relief. When they saw several people following, one of whom was the leader of those street thugs, their hearts immediately became tense.
"Uncle, Auntie, these are the debts my subordinates borrowed, and they've all been returned to you. Additionally, this is compensation for the fright you've endured these past few days!" Wang Hu said with a fawning smile.
Seeing the thug leader's extremely respectful demeanor, the couple was dumbfounded.
The surrounding neighbors also witnessed this scene and were utterly shocked.
"Lou Yitian's family has hit the jackpot this time!"
"Yes, their son-in-law is too capable. He left for a bit and managed to subdue their leader!"
"What kind of supernatural power is this?"
"From now on, no one will dare to offend the old Lou family!"
"Indeed, the Tiger Head Gang is no small matter. Offending them would be infuriating. To gain their protection, they can truly walk with their heads held high!"
"Starting tomorrow, we need to get along well with the Lou family!"
"Agreed!"
The neighbors were not fools; seeing this, they all envied the Lou family's good fortune.
Truthfully, Lou Yitian and his wife were immensely shocked because they could see that these people were unharmed. How had Yang Feilong subdued these individuals without them getting hurt?
"Feilong, are you alright?" More than the compensation from these people, Lou Yitian was more concerned about Yang Feilong's safety.
"Uncle, I'm fine!" Yang Feilong smiled. "Wang Hu and I have become acquaintances, so to speak. In the future, if you have any troublesome matters, feel free to tell them."
"This..." Lou Yitian still looked at Wang Hu and the others with some apprehension.
After all, these people were thugs, and he was an honest, law-abiding person. How could he have experience dealing with such individuals?
"Uncle, Mr. Yang is now my boss, and you are my boss's uncle. In the future, if you have any issues, please tell me directly. In this region, I can handle many matters!" Wang Hu said with a fawning smile. He wasn't exaggerating; he might not reach the highest echelons, but he had considerable influence at the lower levels.
Moreover, on the way, Yang Feilong had already given him opportunities. If he performed well, he would be introduced to people from top families like the Han and Mo families later on!
This had Wang Hu extremely excited.
Of course, Yang Feilong had also set three conditions for him: the past matters would be forgiven, but in the future, he must not bully the good people. However, he should deal with those who caused trouble!
Wang Hu was, of course, extremely compliant.
With this matter resolved, Yang Feilong proposed to take his leave.
"Why not stay another night? You barely ate any of the meal earlier." Lou Yitian said anxiously as Yang Feilong was about to leave.
"I already ate." Yang Feilong smiled. "I still need to catch the high-speed train."
"Alright, then!" The Lou Yitian couple couldn't persuade him to stay and could only urge Yang Feilong to travel safely.
Wang Hu then offered to drive Yang Feilong to the high-speed rail station, which Yang Feilong did not refuse.
After bidding farewell to Wang Hu, he directly boarded the high-speed train back to Lan Hai City, as the train was about to depart soon.
On the return journey.
Several subordinates who had accompanied Wang Hu dared to ask him at this point, "Boss, who exactly is this Yang Feilong?"
"From now on, call him Boss. Don't use his name!" Wang Hu said with a serious expression.
"Yes!" they all replied in unison.
"I'm teaching you to always show reverence to great figures, regardless of whether they are present," Wang Hu said. Seeing his subordinates all agree, he stopped lecturing and instead asked, "Do you know about the Lin family?"
"The Lin family that was wiped out a few days ago?" They had naturally heard about this from their leader.
And how powerful was the Lin family?
To think they were annihilated, this had deeply shocked them. In their minds, the Lin family was a prominent household, and people from the Lin family practically ruled Qing Lan City. Such a prominent family being annihilated overnight, how could they not be shaken?
"Our Boss did it!" Wang Hu said, taking a deep breath.
"Boss did it?" Everyone present gasped in shock.
At this moment, they finally understood why Wang Hu had conceded and actively cooperated with Yang Feilong.
Someone who could destroy the Lin family, and destroy them? It would be as easy as crushing ants! No, even simpler than that!
At this point, they all felt fortunate that their leader had the good sense to meet him and immediately back down!
