Of the four crabs of the Ding family, aside from the eldest, Ding Xiaoxie, the other three were terrified. Back then, ever since Ding Xiaoxie had made a name for himself in the underworld, his three younger brothers had relied on their older brother's power, acting tyrannically and bullying others, committing many unscrupulous acts. However, these three men themselves possessed little real talent; they were the type to become arrogant and domineering at the slightest rumor, but to retreat into hiding when faced with adversity, bullying the weak and fearing the powerful. Now, they had been inexplicably bound and brought here, completely unaware of their fate. Naturally, their fear was palpable. Based on their usual thinking, they concluded that someone was intent on wiping out their entire family!

In comparison, only Ding Xiaohai remained relatively calm. His expression remained calm as he coldly looked across at Huadi and said in a deep voice, "Huadi, since we brothers have fallen into your hands today, you can kill us or chop us up at your command." Upon hearing this, Huadi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile. He quipped, "Oh my, look at you, a gangster boss, acting so arrogantly, threatening to kill or chop us up at every turn. It really scares people! But I'm an upright and good citizen of Hong Kong. How could I be like you gangsters? I never get involved in those illegal activities!" He then stood aside, still smiling and looking at Ding Xiaohai, his eyes full of playful intent.

OK, here is the expansion based on your content:

"That's right, you've always been law-abiding. At most, you've just robbed a gold shop," Ding Xiaohai muttered to himself. Although his face remained calm, his heart was already in turmoil.

Hua Di on the side smiled and continued slowly: "Lao Xiao, to be honest, I admire you very much. Back then, you were just an unknown gangster with no background or backing. However, relying on your own efforts and hard work, you have worked hard step by step and have sat on the position of the leader of Zhongqing Society. If your experience were adapted into a movie, it would definitely be called an extremely inspirational legend. It's a pity..." At this point, Hua Di deliberately paused, with a trace of regret in his eyes.

Seeing this, Ding Xiaoxie frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "What a pity! Just say what you want to say!"

Hua Di coughed lightly and said slowly, "It's a pity that you have such an unreliable father and three scumbag brothers. With your abilities and means, you could have soared to the sky and achieved a world-shaking career. But it's precisely because of these four people, like heavy shackles, that they have bound your progress and prevented you from completely escaping their negative influence."

Hearing this, Ding Xiaoxie could no longer suppress his anger. He stood up suddenly, glared at Huadi, and said sternly, "Huadi, I'm warning you! If you have something to say, keep it to yourself. Don't bring up my dad and my brothers!"

Huadi remained unmoved. Instead, he sneered and mocked, "Oh, your filial piety is truly touching! However, your so-called filial piety is nothing more than a sacrifice for the suffering of others. On the surface, you treat your father and brother well, acting like a loyal and harmless person. But what is the truth? You are the most selfish person! To satisfy your own selfish desires, you are willing to sacrifice the interests of everyone around you."

Ding Xiaoxie was trembling with anger. He interrupted Huadi furiously and roared, "That's enough! Huadi, killing people is not enough, so stop your chatter! Today, you have captured the four of us brothers, so let's be frank! What exactly do you want?"

"Hey! Look, you're losing your temper so quickly? I've only said a few words. Think about how painful and helpless those people who were bullied and humiliated by you four brothers must have felt! Think back to when you wantonly bullied the Fang family, how outrageous your arrogance and domineering were! Especially Ding Yixie, you scum, you actually raped Fang Min so cruelly. What kind of ugly faces did you four brothers show at that time?" Hua Di grew more and more angry as he spoke, and in the end, he was so furious that he suddenly raised his right hand and slapped Ding Yixie's disgusting face with all his strength. There was a crisp "pop" sound, and Ding Yixie's left cheek instantly swelled up, expanding rapidly like a balloon. At the same time, a trickle of bright red blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth, looking shocking. Immediately afterwards, Ding Yixie opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, mixed with four blood-stained teeth, which scattered on the ground with a crisp collision sound.

On the other side, Ding Xiaoxie struggled desperately, trying to stand up from the restraint of the rope. However, no matter how hard he twisted his body, the strong rope was still tightly wrapped around him, making it impossible for him to break free. Despite this, Ding Xiaoxie still refused to give up, and shouted angrily: "If you have the guts, come at me alone, don't touch my brothers!" Hearing this, Huadi slowly squatted down, approached Ding Yixie, and said in a tone full of sarcasm and teasing: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, look, your good big brother really loves you! It's a pity that you are so useless, doing things that hurt the world and are really disgusting!"

Ding Yixie muttered something in fear, but because several of his teeth had been knocked out, his words became unclear, and it sounded as if he was begging, "Brother Hua, please spare me..."

Huadi turned his gaze to Ding Xiaohai, a hint of a sneer playing on his lips. He continued slowly, "Originally, I was planning to play an interesting game with you, a game that would test human nature. But now it seems that there is no need. However, on second thought, I might as well tell you the rules of the game. This should be fun. In fact, it's very simple. I want you four brothers to vote for the person who only needs one death among you to ensure the safety of the other three. Based on your understanding of your three brothers' personalities, how many votes do you think you will get?"

Ding Xiaoxie remained silent, staring at Huadi with eyes filled with resentment and ferocity. Without a doubt, this vote directly struck at the deepest, most vulnerable parts of the four brothers' hearts! Ding Xiaoxie knew perfectly well that given his three brothers' usual selfish ways, if faced with a life-or-death decision, they would undoubtedly choose him to die without hesitation. After all, he had always shouldered all the responsibility and risks for his brothers.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Although the way I invited you here today is a bit uncomfortable, I still hope you can give me some face. Let's put the matter between you and the Fang family behind us and don't harass them anymore." Hua Di finally said seriously.

"What if we don't agree?" Ding Xiaoxie said this despite the pleading looks of his three younger brothers.

"Then you will be included in the missing persons list. Of course, you still contribute to society, because your final destination is to contribute to the reclamation project of the new Hong Kong airport." Huadi said in a flat tone, as if he was talking about a very simple matter.

The three Ding brothers were pale, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and they looked at their eldest brother, Ding Xiaoxie, in horror. At this moment, they were filled with fear, fearing that their eldest brother would say anything that might anger Huadi.

Ding Xiaoxie pleaded with his face, his voice choked with sobs as he said, "Brother Hua! The love and hate between our Ding family and the Fang family is simply beyond the comprehension of outsiders like you! If the Fang family insists on testifying in court, my poor father will be sentenced to death! Please, have mercy on me and stop interfering in this matter. Okay? Those people in the Fang family have nothing to do with you at all!"

Before he could finish his words, however, Huadi was already furious. He raised his palm and slapped Ding Yixie's cheek fiercely. With a crisp "snap," a trace of blood immediately flowed from the corner of Ding Yixie's mouth, and several teeth fell out. This sudden blow startled everyone present.

Then, Huadi turned to look at Ding Xiaoxie, his eyes flashing with anger, and shouted, "How dare you call yourself filial? Even if your wicked father died eight times, he couldn't atone for his sins! The Fang family was kind to your Ding family, but you've repaid their kindness with hatred!"

At this point, Huadi's fury intensified. He launched a powerful kick, aiming directly at Ding Lixie's chest. Caught off guard, Ding Lixie flew backward like a kite with its string cut, flying a full two meters before collapsing heavily to the ground.

Hua Di launched a powerful kick into Ding Lixie's body. There was a dull thud, and Ding Lixie gasped in pain. Then, with his eyes wide open, Hua Di roared, "This is your last chance! From now on, can you promise not to harass the Fang family again?" His voice boomed like thunder, setting everyone's ears ringing.

However, Ding Xiaoxie did not respond immediately. He just stood there silently, head down, as if thinking about something. Meanwhile, his three younger brothers seemed to be frightened and nodded repeatedly, promising that they would never harass the Fang family again.

Seeing that Ding Xiaoxie remained silent, Hua Di snorted coldly and warned again: "Don't think I don't know the little calculations in your hearts! Don't think that you don't know behind your backs, saying one thing in front of me and another behind my back, and secretly harassing the Fang family while promising good things with your mouth! Also, you are not allowed to find any killers to assassinate them! Otherwise, as long as anyone in the Fang family is even slightly injured, I will definitely throw you all into the sea to feed the fish without mercy!" At this point, Hua Di's eyes flashed with a fierce look.

Hearing this, Ding Xiaoxie's body trembled slightly, but he remained silent with his lips tightly shut. Seeing this, Ding Yixie, who was standing by, became increasingly anxious and mumbled, "Boss, why don't you just forget it... just agree to it first. Let's find another way to save Dad. You can't just give up on the four of us brothers."

However, Ding Xiaoxie seemed to have not heard Ding Yixie's words at all and remained silent. As time passed, the atmosphere became extremely tense, as if even the air had frozen.

Wu Dehui had already lost his patience. He was preoccupied with other important matters and didn't want to waste any more precious time here. His brow furrowed, his eyes gleaming coldly, and he shouted in a cold yet commanding tone, "Five seconds left! If you don't agree, you'll all go to hell!"

His hideous mask seemed to become even more distorted and creepy at this moment; and the terrifying aura he exuded as a super master was like a mountain crushing eggs, tightly enveloping the three brothers Ding Yixie, Ding Lixie and Ding Wangxie.

The three men, oppressed by this aura to the point of being unable to breathe, were already terrified to the point of urinating uncontrollably down their trouser legs. A pungent smell filled the air, but no one paid any attention to it at the moment.

Seeing this, Ding Xiaoxie knew the situation was irreversible. As Ding Yixie had said, his father might be able to devise other solutions, but right now, the lives of the four brothers hung by a thread. A single misstep could lead to ruin. After an intense internal struggle, he finally gritted his teeth and uttered, "I...promise...."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Dehui gently waved his arm, and a stream of invisible energy instantly shot out. In the blink of an eye, the ropes binding the four Ding Xiaoxie brothers snapped, as if they were just fragile spider silk.

Afterwards, Wu Dehui and Huadi looked at each other, and they disappeared like ghosts, leaving only a breeze blowing across the frightened faces of the four Ding brothers.

Wu Dehui's final, miraculous move was like a hammer striking the four Ding family members' hearts, a move they would never forget. From then on, they never again dared to seek revenge against Hua Di, knowing full well that any resistance against such a formidable opponent was futile.

In reality, when a person's strength reaches a certain level, those who once thought of them as enemies will be intimidated and dare not provoke them easily. After all, in the face of absolute power, hatred often seems insignificant. Because in the face of a powerful person, enemies are either eliminated or dare not even think of revenge.
