Parents are all like this, always blaming themselves for mistakes and never blaming their children.
Under the persuasion of Ye Longlin and Yuan Gang, Cao Fanghua finally gave up the idea of cooking.
Returning to the room, she found the bed had been made, but the roof leaked somewhat under the heavy rain, and basins were placed on the ground.
Seeing this, Yuan Gang's nose twitched, and he choked back a sob.
The night passed uneventfully. Early the next morning, excavators appeared in the village.
"What's going on? Is someone building a house? A hundred excavators! Are they going to rebuild our entire village?"
"No, nobody in the village has heard of anyone building a house. The only one building a house is Cao Fanghua's family, since her son has returned. Hey, whose car is that? It's parked in front of Cao Fanghua's house."
"You're right, how did I not think of that? Ah, honestly, seeing the Cao Fanghua family prosper makes me feel uneasy. After all, they moved here; they weren't originally from our village. Seeing them prosper is more unsettling than seeing any of you prosper."
As the villagers chattered, Ye Longlin and Yuan Gang appeared in their sight.
"Everyone, isn't it time to repay the money you owe the Yuan family? Two million in total."
Ye Longlin spoke. He preferred not to use force if possible, as they were just unarmed villagers.
"What? Repay money? When did we ever owe the Yuan family money? Young man, don't talk nonsense. Ask Cao Fanghua if she has any proof!"
"Exactly. You youngsters are so good at slandering people out of thin air. It's always been the Yuan family owing us; when did we ever owe them?"
"We live in two-story buildings, while look at this dilapidated place of the Yuan family. Do they have money to lend to us?"
Hearing them, Ye Longlin was stunned. He had expected these people to default on their debts, but he hadn't expected them to be so shameless!
However, Ye Longlin began to laugh. "I'll give you five minutes. If I don't see the money in five minutes, these excavators will destroy your houses one by one until they turn into ruins!"
This village was originally called Zhaojia Village and was later renamed Zhaofeng Village. In the village, two families had moved in: Yuan Gang's family and Yuan Xin's family.
As soon as they heard about the forced demolition, Yuan Xin's mother stepped forward and yelled, "Cao Fanghua, our two families moved here. You can demolish their houses, but why do you have to demolish mine? We all have the surname Yuan; why are you being so ruthless?"
Yuan Gang scoffed. He had instructed his mother yesterday not to come out no matter what happened today, so no matter how loudly she shouted, it was useless. At this moment, Ye Longlin had already gotten into the car, not wanting to argue with these older women.
"Thirty-five thousand. Do you think this old face is worth thirty-five thousand?"
"You little brat, how dare you insult me! I'll scratch your face!"
Yuan Xin's mother shrieked and lunged forward, her dark, long fingernails slashing towards his face.
Yuan Gang slapped her across the face, impatiently saying, "Get lost!"
"Slap."
The crisp sound of the slap stunned many people. They hadn't expected him to actually dare to strike!
"Yuan Gang, you're courting death! How dare you touch my mother!"
Yuan Xin pushed through the crowd. His steps pounded the ground, and his one-meter-tall frame seemed to leap into the air. But just as he took off, the car door beside him suddenly flung open, slamming into Yuan Xin's body and sending him flying.
"Yuan Xin! Serial number 555, A-class war criminal, has now violated the 'National Security Law,' 'State Secrets Protection Law,' 'National Criminal Law,' 'Military Personnel Protection Law,' and other statutes. Today, in accordance with the law, you are hereby arrested and sentenced on-site to life imprisonment in the seabed prison of Donghai."
As the words fell, Yuan Gang did not hesitate. A powerful aura emanated from him. The Asura Blade suddenly appeared, and he slashed down!
"Yanwang!! You are Yanwang!!"
Upon seeing Ye Longlin, Yuan Xin's eyes widened in fury. Before he could react, he was met by Yuan Gang's dazzling blade techniques, which in an instant severed his hand and leg tendons.
Now, there was no fear of him escaping!
"The five minutes are up. Are you going to repay the money, or what?"
Ye Longlin said with a smile.
But he was met with the curses of the crowd.
"Act!"
Since these people were stubborn, the two million was no longer needed.
The excavators roared to life and approached the nearest multi-story building. Their large buckets descended, and in less than five minutes, a house was completely reduced to rubble.
As he brushed past Yuan Gang, a sentence echoed in Yuan Gang's ear: "Today, I permit you to tell them your identity while wearing your military uniform."
Yuan Gang cast a grateful glance at Ye Longlin.
The Dragon Pavilion must not appear before ordinary people!
The Dragon Pavilion is the army that guards the nation, the highest hall of soldiers!
The Asura Army is even more of a legend!
And he, as one of the Four Divine Generals of the Asura Army, must not reveal his identity voluntarily!
"My house! My house!"
When they saw that Ye Longlin actually dared to tear down the houses, their faces changed!
"You have no shame; I'll give you shame."
"Continue. If anyone dares to stop you, just run them over. If anyone dies, the money won't need to be repaid; it will be considered the Yuan family's funeral expenses."
As if thinking of something, Ye Longlin put on a simple disguise. He had just suddenly thought that since Yuan Xin was here, there should be other war criminals nearby.
At that time, Yuan Xin had a group of followers.
As soon as Ye Longlin said this, the old men and women became agitated. Knowing that they would truly act, they could only curse from the sidelines.
However, at this moment, a group of fierce-looking individuals rushed out from the direction of the village chief's house.
Ye Longlin narrowed his eyes. It seemed he had come to the right place after all!
"Yuan Gang! You bastard, come out here! See if I don't beat you to death today, you son of a bitch! Give me back my son's life!"
