Binjiang District, Ye Village.
As one of the few old urban villages in Jiangcheng, Ye Fan had lived here since childhood.
In fact, there had been demolition plans here three years ago, but due to the failure to agree on demolition compensation, it was repeatedly postponed. At that time, Ye Fan was still in college and had a childhood sweetheart, Bai Ya…
If his sister, Ye Xuan, had not been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, Ye Fan might have married Bai Ya after graduation.
Although chronic myeloid leukemia had a chance of cure, it required long-term medication with expensive targeted drugs for control. Ye Fan had originally planned to use the money from the demolition of his home to treat his sister, but the demolition was repeatedly delayed, and his sister's condition worsened…
It was at this time that his college roommate, Chen Wu, appeared.
Chen Wu's family was in the real estate business, and he had been on good terms with Ye Fan before. That year, Chen Wu had caused a hit-and-run accident while drunk. Bai Ya mediated the situation, and Ye Fan signed an agreement with him to take the blame and go to prison!
The agreement was that Ye Fan would go to prison for three years, during which Chen Wu would help the Ye family overcome difficulties and treat his sister Ye Xuan! Bai Ya also promised to marry Ye Fan upon his release…
As it turned out, when Ye Fan was released from prison, he discovered it was all a scam! Bai Ya had long since cheated on Chen Wu and was together with him. That agreement was a premeditated plan!
All promises were worthless, and not only did he serve as a scapegoat…
In these three years, apart from giving his family sixty thousand yuan in the first year out of conscience, Chen Wu had not given a single cent to his sister! Now, Ye Xuan was critically ill, his mother, Zhang Chunlan, was so anxious that her hair had turned white overnight, and she was struggling to make a living selling small goods in the urban village…
What was even more ridiculous was that the demolition that was shelved years ago had now become worthless. After several bids, Chen Wu's family had actually secured the land!
This pair of adulterous lovers then bit back, dismissing the sixty thousand yuan as demolition compensation and demanding to demolish Ye Fan's old house!
Ye Fan sighed in his heart. Suffering so many blows in one day, even a man of stature in his past life would have been overwhelmed and died of despair!
At this moment.
As soon as Ye Fan got out of the car, he walked into the narrow alley hidden among the city buildings. Upon entering, he heard the roar of excavators, and the surroundings were filled with dust and mess…
"Aunt Liu!"
Aunt Liu, who had been waiting at the village entrance, heard the call and said anxiously, "Ye Fan, you're finally back. Hurry and take a look, your mother… sigh!"
Looking at the excavator bucket raised high in the distance…
Ye Fan instantly felt a surge of hot blood rush to his head. Even though this body did not belong to him, his emotions were shared. Without a doubt, his mother and sister were his unshakeable principles!
To touch them was to invite fury!
A hundred meters away, amidst a pile of ruins, Ye Fan's old house, though precarious, was one of the few remaining buildings in the area. This was because, accompanied by the roar of the diesel engine…
The excavator bucket was raised high. Although the surrounding villagers held weapons, they dared not step forward.
Only his mother, Zhang Chunlan, dared to stand beneath it with her arms spread wide, as if ready to fight anyone who dared to demolish the house!
A woman is inherently soft, but as a mother, she is strong!
Looking at Zhang Chunlan's haggard appearance, her hair turned white before she was fifty, even with two lifetimes of experience, Ye Fan was still struck by this scene. His eyes reddened like a tiger's, and he shouted, "Mom!"
He rushed forward several steps.
"Ye Fan, quickly, quickly stop them, don't let them demolish the house…"
His mother cried urgently. For her, these old houses could save his sister Ye Xuan's life, and they were also her only and last hope for the past three years!
At this moment, a black Audi A6 stopped in the distance. Chen Wu got out of the car, dusting off his white suit. Bai Ya, leaning coquettishly on his arm, walked over with a look of disdain…
Chen Wu spat fiercely on the ground, "You can't even handle this little thing, you're so slow."
He then looked at Ye Fan beside him and said mockingly, "Yo, Ye Fan, you're here too? Your mother, this old hag, took my demolition compensation and still wants to be a stubborn resident? Do you really think I, Chen Wu, am just a nobody!"
"Since you're here, I'll let you see what happens when your house is demolished today?"
Then, Chen Wu beckoned, took out a stack of RMB, and threw it towards the excavators nearby, saying, "Damn it, I'll give each of you an extra thousand yuan. Dig! I don't believe they're not afraid of death…"
Rumble~
With great reward, there are brave men. Coupled with Chen Wu's backing, these men naturally became bolder. As the excavators gradually lowered, Chen Wu's face was filled with a cat-and-mouse smile.
Until…
Ye Fan, like an enraged black cat, darted forward several steps and struck Chen Wu in the abdomen with his knee. Then, he pinned Chen Wu to the ground and punched him repeatedly!
Bang~Bang~
How could Chen Wu have expected Ye Fan to suddenly become so fierce? After taking a few punches, his face was bruised and bleeding.
"Ye Fan, hurry up and let go of Chen Wu…"
Bai Ya, standing beside him, was terrified. She tried to intervene but was slapped hard by Ye Fan. When she saw the beast-like look in Ye Fan's eyes, she was so scared that she scrambled away, her face pale with fright…
"Crazy, crazy!"
The excavator workers were also terrified by Ye Fan's ferocity. With a glare from Ye Fan, they quickly let go, not daring to continue the demolition!
A collective gasp echoed through the crowd…
But more was pity for Ye Fan!
Beating the young master of Chen's Real Estate in front of so many people was pure suicide!
"Ye Fan, you stop…"
Fearing that Ye Fan might cause a fatality, Zhang Chunlan, filled with dread, shouted from a distance, finally stopping Ye Fan.
Chen Wu slowly got up from the ground, staggered back a few steps, and hid behind Bai Ya.
He said with feigned ferocity, "Ye Fan, you're completely finished this time! You just got out of prison and you're already hitting people. If I don't make you rot in jail, I'm not surnamed Chen!"
These words did not scare Ye Fan, but they made his mother Zhang Chunlan's face turn pale. She had waited day and night for her son during his three years in prison and naturally could not stand by and watch him be imprisoned again…
She stepped forward a few steps, her voice trembling with tears, "Young Master Chen, Ye Fan just got out of prison. Please don't call the police… This house, if you want to demolish it, then demolish it!"
As Zhang Chunlan gritted her teeth and complied, a mother's dignity and a small person's persistence were trampled into pieces and scattered at this moment!
Chen Wu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spat down from above, "Damn it, if you had just complied earlier, this wouldn't have happened. I'll spare him, fine, but you have to kneel down and kowtow three times!"
Chen Wu's words instantly ignited Ye Fan's rage.
"Ye Fan, if you come over, from now on I won't have you as my son…"
Facing Ye Fan's fury, Zhang Chunlan could only offer a tragic smile. Then, she shouted and shook her head at Ye Fan, actually about to kneel!
At this moment, Ye Fan's bones felt like they were about to be crushed. His desire for power and money reached its peak…
If he had money and power, it would be Chen Wu who should be kneeling right now!
Bai Ya, on the side, watched with satisfaction. Fortunately, she had cheated on Chen Wu early on. Otherwise, if she had stayed with Ye Fan, would she have had to endure such a life of hardship and humiliation like his mother?
Just as Zhang Chunlan was about to kneel, and many onlookers could not bear to watch any longer.
A clear and melodious voice suddenly sounded from afar…
"Your Chen family is getting more and more arrogant in Jiangcheng now!"
