"Mumu, what are you talking about? This is nonsense! I can't get a divorce from him right now, my dad won't agree."
Lin Tian'ai's eyes widened at Mu Hanqi's words, and she repeatedly denied it.
Mu Hanqi, however, was nonchalant. "If you're not getting a divorce, why not try to get to know Ye Longlin better? Maybe he can surprise you?"
"Like this time, he helped you solve the Shi Yan Group issue and even acquired it. Doesn't that represent something? And Tian'ai, after you sign this contract, the market value of Juling Group will double. Think about it carefully!"
Mu Hanqi said with a smile, but her voice became a little sour as she spoke.
Why did her silly best friend get such a good man like Ye Longlin?
Heaven was unfair!
Lin Tian'ai shook her head. "I believe what I see. The contract states that the Wang Group from Nan Province is acquiring it on our behalf. What connection could Ye Longlin have with them? Why would he give me a thirty billion construction company? I don't even know if he used any tricks. Why should I sign it? What if there's a trap?"
Mu Hanqi covered her forehead, feeling deeply speechless. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Did her best friend have a problem with her head!
At the same time, in Zhaofeng Village.
Yuan Gang's face was extremely ugly, his fists clenched, and his eyes filled with furious flames.
He looked at the group of people in front of him, drew his waist knife, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a long, sharp battle saber!
"Anyone who dares to take a step forward today will die!"
As expected, upon hearing this, no one stepped forward. Instead, they all started to curse.
"Yuan Gang, your whole family is ungrateful and no good. When you moved here, it was all of us who worked hard to help you build your house. Every household gave you a little land. And now you treat us like this? Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of your fellow villagers?"
"Speak with a conscience, Yuan Gang. Ask your dad and mom how we treated them during the years you were away. What do you mean now? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"
"Kill us, if you have the ability, kill us! Do you dare? Stop talking nonsense, if you're a man, come and chop me! If you don't chop me, I look down on you!"
Yuan Gang looked at the villagers in front of him, killing intent glinting in his eyes. The killing intent emanating from him enveloped everyone.
These people also felt the killing intent from him and instinctively took several steps back.
"The entire village, a hundred households. The money I sent home over the years is at least two million. I hope my parents can use this two million to fix their house and live well. They are not used to the city, nor are they used to city life, so they insist on staying in the village."
"And you? One family borrowed 100,000, another family borrowed 200,000. You people have essentially milked my family dry to make your houses beautiful, while my parents are still living in mud-tiled houses. Do you still have the face to say anything?"
"You say my family has no conscience, then what are you guys?"
Yuan Gang swept his gaze around, his voice incomparably cold.
This money was earned with his life, but it was squandered by these people. Not only squandered, but now the entire village is boycotting his family and demanding they move out of the village. How could he tolerate this?
Money was a trivial matter; he had more than this. What angered him was that these people not only didn't return the money but also wanted to drive them out of the village.
"I'll give you half a day. If the money isn't returned within half a day, all your houses will be razed!"
He surveyed them, a powerful aura pressing down on the entire scene.
After speaking, seeing that they were still there, he roared, "Get lost!"
Only then did these people all run away, not a single one remaining.
Yuan Gang turned, his eyes bloodshot, and with a bang, he knelt on the ground. "Dad, your son is unfilial. I couldn't return to see you one last time. I'm sorry for your upbringing and your education!"
Yuan Gang knelt before his father's grave and wept uncontrollably.
When he left, his father was still in very good health. Why was his father gone when he returned!
"Child, your dad's dying wish was for me not to tell you. You just be a good soldier and contribute to the country."
"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are hard to balance. Wearing the national flag, you are protecting this great nation. Your father and I are both proud of you. Don't blame yourself too much."
Cao Fanghua patted Yuan Gang's head, just like when he was a child. A few pats like this would stop his tears.
"Mom, tell me, how did Dad die?"
After crying for a while, Yuan Gang got up and asked.
Cao Fanghua opened her mouth, not knowing how to say it. People in the countryside were generally simple and didn't know how to lie.
Her eyes darted around, as if thinking of something. "Your dad went up the mountain to gather firewood and accidentally fell down, dying from the fall."
Yuan Gang growled, "Mom, you're lying to me. Tell me the truth."
"Let's go, let's go home."
Yuan Gang didn't dare to say more, looking back repeatedly as he returned to the mud-tiled house at the end of the village.
But as he approached the door, he saw the rotten eggs and vegetable leaves plastered on the gate and courtyard, and Yuan Gang's eyes spewed fire.
He fought bravely overseas, and his parents suffered such humiliation at home. Now that he had returned, they dared to be so rampant!
"Mom, please tell me, how exactly did Dad die?" Yuan Gang suppressed his anger.
Cao Fanghua looked at her son, then at the vegetable leaves by the door, and sighed before slowly telling the truth.
It turned out that two years ago, one summer, the village chief's family was building a house, and they asked his father to help. When they were capping the roof, he had a conflict with the village chief's son. He was pushed by the village chief's son and fell from the roof, dying from the fall.
Not only did they accept their money, but they also made his father work for them, and in the end, it led to his father's accidental death!
"What a village chief's family! What a Zhaofeng Village!"
"You all will pay for my father's death! Not a single one will escape!"
Boom!
As the words fell, a torrential rain suddenly poured down from the sky.
Yuan Gang, clad in the darkness of night, with the rain curtain overhead, holding his battle saber, strode step by step towards the village chief's house...
