A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 450 Revenge
A red and white morning glory bloomed on the lime wall.

Old Gao's raised arm silenced the incessantly chattering Liu Hui, and the world finally quieted down.

Hearing this, Liu's wife, the accountant, rushed in carrying a basin of dough and cried out in alarm, "What happened?"

Lao Gao turned around.

The immense impact sent Liu's wife flying through the air, turning her into a ballerina.

Old Gao didn't even look at it before walking out.

A village official, who was smoking a cigarette, walked in from the entrance and came over to check after hearing the loud noise.

Old Gao didn't even glance at the man, but then the old man stopped and looked at Old Gao's swollen face with a grin, "Old Gao, I heard you're called Golf Ball now."

Old Gao didn't stop; he was going to find Jiao Shengli to settle accounts.

But the middle-aged man relentlessly chased after him. The whole village was supposed to finish relocating in the next few days, but Lao Gao insisted on doing this just when they were about to welcome Jiao Shengli.

This will delay the approved plan for a few more days. He had already bought furniture and moved into his new home in Sun City, but now he will have to stay in this dilapidated place for a few more days.

All this resentment was going to be vented on Lao Gao.

Old Gao stopped and stared at him. "What did you say?"

“I said you are a golf ball. Didn’t you get hit by Mr. Jiao’s bodyguard at the airport? Clang clang clang, the sound was so crisp.”

As he spoke, he mimed a golf swing and smiled.

This action completely shattered Lao Gao's last shred of reason.

"You slut! Fuck your mother!"

Lao Gao raised his arm without hesitation.

"It's so comfortable."

Old Gao smiled, feeling more relaxed and happy than ever before, and strode towards the village chief's house.

The curious villagers who had been watching along the way turned away as soon as they saw Lao Gao arrive. Now Lao Gao was like a plague god, and no one wanted to talk to him.

The village chief said that anyone who gets close to Lao Gao can reconsider their house in Sun City.

Who would dare to do that? After so many years, the older generation's wish to become city dwellers is about to come true. This is an achievement that would make even their deceased ancestors smile.

Besides, everyone else has moved to Sun City and become city dwellers, while you're still living in this dilapidated house in the countryside. How can you face me? How are you supposed to greet me when we meet? Doesn't it make you feel ashamed?
That's why these villagers survived by a twist of fate.

Because at this moment, Lao Gao was no longer afraid at all, and his eyes were gleaming with a scarlet color when he looked at people.

"Isn't that Lao Gao? What's he doing?"

Xiao Zhuang and Dezi followed the sound of the explosion and arrived at the scene, just in time to see Lao Gao sneaking into the village chief's box.

"He went to find the village chief? Old Gao is really brave, but the village chief's family moved away a long time ago, what is he looking for?" Dezi scratched his head in confusion.

"Let's go check it out? Old Gao's house is in the direction of the explosion; maybe he knows what happened."

The two slowly approached Lao Gao from behind.

Old Gao stood at the village chief's door, gazing at the luxurious two-story building and the tightly locked gate.

"Old Gao, stop looking, the village chief's family has all moved to Sun City," Xiao Zhuang called out kindly from a distance.

Old Gao turned around, startling the two of them so much that they took a few steps back.

Her face is so swollen now that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her; she was beaten so badly.

"Do you know where the village chief's house is?" Old Gao asked calmly.

Dezi sighed, seemingly unable to bear it any longer, and stepped forward, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and stuffing it into Lao Gao's mouth. "Lao Gao, let it go. We can't win. The village chief, Jiao Shengli, and the people in town have all made arrangements."

"Stop taking this so seriously."

Old Gao stared at Dezi expressionlessly and asked, "Are you looking down on me?"

Dezi was stunned. He didn't understand why Lao Gao had become so sensitive.

"No, no, I just think we should just let it go. Don't you know what kind of people our village is? They're not united at all. You can't get it back by yourself. Anyway, people like the village chief will get their comeuppance sooner or later."

"Sooner or later?"

Dezi shut his mouth in silence, now wondering if Lao Gao had been beaten senseless.

“I know, it’s on the seventh floor of Building 3 in Sun City…” Xiao Zhuang immediately shouted.

Old Gao nodded and turned to leave.

"Did you see that? His eyes are terrifying!" Dezi was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Xiao Zhuang, his fingers trembling, puffed on his cigarette. "Should we still go take a look?"

"Go ahead, I have nothing else to do anyway."

Old Gao, with his sleeves rolled up and head hunched, walked against the current towards Sun City, watching the villagers go by.

It was all the work of the village chief and Jiao Shengli.

Since he can't stay in Wangdu Village any longer, he might as well take them down with him.

Since killing one is the same as killing another, I might as well take all those who bully me with me.

But just as he was leaving the village, a few unlicensed cars made Lao Gao change his mind.

A road leading up the mountain has been cleared on the hillside to the left of the village entrance.

At the edge of the mainland lies Ruiyang Mining, where Jiao Shengli is currently preparing for the ribbon-cutting ceremony in a few days.

Old Gao hesitated at the T-junction at the village entrance. He first glanced in the direction of Sun City, then turned around and looked up at the mountain.

He subconsciously took a few steps toward Sun City, but a sharp pain in his head suddenly made him stop.

Lao Gao instantly changed direction and headed up the mountain where Ruiyang Mining was located.

Feng Yuxiu limped out of the dressing room.

Standing in the corridor, I subconsciously reached into my pocket for a cigarette, but this time I found it empty.

"Have you forgotten? It seems things really aren't very safe."

Feng Yuxiu slapped his head hard, then looked down and saw that he was still holding the sleeping pills the doctor had prescribed.

His diagnosis was mild paranoia and schizophrenia. When the doctor told him about what happened last night, he almost had to be sent to a mental hospital.

"Remember to take your medicine on time. If you don't take your medicine on time, your illness will relapse sooner or later, and then you'll be in trouble!"

The doctor chased after Feng Yuxiu and shouted.

Feng Yuxiu nodded and turned to leave.

Ruiyang Mining. Lanterns and red ribbons hung on the mountainside, a huge red carpet was laid on the ground, and a makeshift platform was piled high with sheep heads, pig heads, and cow heads.

"Where is General Manager Jiao?"

"I don't know, he probably went to work. Mr. Jiao said not to disturb him, he'll come out to hold a meeting for us later."

-

Inside the offices on the second floor of Ruiyang Mining.

The two voices began to intertwine at the same time.

"I'm done tidying up, I'm going to take a shower."

After Mr. Jiao finished speaking, there was a rustling sound, and then the door opened.

Jiao Shengli walked out wearing pants, his face showing both exhaustion and satisfaction.

"Honey, I want to buy myself an apartment in Beijing. The prices are really cheap right now..."

A woman's sweet, coquettish voice came from inside the room, accompanied by the sounds of her taking a bath.

Jiao Shengli stood outside the door, smoking and pausing for a moment before speaking, "Buy it. Housing prices across the country aren't that expensive. But based on my observation, there's going to be a lot of infrastructure development in the next few decades, so housing prices might rise. Don't waste the money I give you; you can try buying a few houses as an investment."

The woman laughed out loud, "What would I need so many houses for? One is enough. Besides, prices won't go up that much. I'm not buying any; one is enough."

Jiao Shengli smiled and said, "How about I buy you a courtyard house in Beijing? It'll only cost a little over four million."

"Oh, I don't want that. It's so rustic. I want an apartment building or a villa."

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you. You take a shower first, I'm going to a meeting. Don't wander around, it's dangerous up in the mountains."

"understood."

-

-

Jiao Shengli convened a meeting with several contractors and mining company executives.

"How's the relocation of those villagers in Wangdu Village going? That's also a potential site for our factory," Jiao Shengli asked, puffing on his cigarette.

"Everything is settled, except for a few households whose payments haven't been agreed upon."

"Didn't I give you enough money? Why haven't we reached an agreement yet? The factory is about to be built, what are you all doing?"

Seeing Jiao Shengli get angry, the people in charge immediately stood up. "It's not that we don't want to pay, we've already paid. The village chief of that village... is too greedy. He not only took the lion's share, but also seized the land of several households in the village. He didn't even pay them, so naturally they made a fuss. We've already suppressed this matter several times."

Jiao Shengli frowned, "This village chief..."

"General Manager Jiao, you should also talk to this village chief. It's not that we're not making progress, it's just that he's putting too much pressure on us. We can't... we can't just leave the remaining households..."

The person in charge hesitated, unable to bring himself to say it.

“I’ll talk to the people in the county about this and make the village chief come back to his senses.” Jiao Shengli’s face was extremely pale. What could have been resolved quickly through proper channels had to be made so awkward.

"Is there anything else?"

"Also... there was a near-fatal incident in Wangdu Village a few days ago, but thankfully the rescue was timely and the person is alright."

Jiao Shengli kicked the person in charge to the ground, his face ashen with rage.

"I'm telling you, make them all move out as soon as possible! This is a warning: if he can't handle it, I'll handle him!"

"Do you guys even have brains? Once someone dies and it attracts the attention of the higher-ups, do you think this matter can be covered up? Don't forget, this is a huge mess, you can't afford to look down on it, or you'll just make things worse. Get them all to move out of Wangdu Village as soon as possible, and as long as they're outside of Wangdu Village, they can go wherever they want to die!"

"Yes, yes, I'll take care of it right away!"

"The meeting is dismissed!"

Jiao Shengli roared and walked down the hillside; he wanted to talk to the village chief himself.

Damn it, if a multi-billion dollar project falls through because of a few minor issues, he'll definitely act like he never was before he made his fortune.

After opening the car door and getting in, Jiao Shengli suddenly stopped moving.

Several bodyguards were standing a hundred meters away in front of him. The bodyguards glanced back at him briefly and then ignored him.

What sent chills down Jiao Shengli's spine was seeing a swollen, familiar face in the rearview mirror.

Old Gao had somehow gotten into a seat in the back, and his hunting rifle was pressed against the back of Jiao Shengli's head.

Jiao Shengli shuddered, suppressing the trembling in his heart. "Old Gao, what are you doing? I had no choice but to hit you last time. You know, doing business is always about putting on a show for others. Besides, the investors and other leaders were watching from afar last time."

"I really have no choice... Do you think those tens of thousands of yuan are too little? No problem, how about I give you 100,000? I heard your village chief seized your land? I'll make him return it to you?"

Old Gao leaned back slightly and gripped the hunting rifle with both hands to prevent Jiao Shengli from suddenly turning around and snatching it from his hands.

“Mr. Jiao, look at me, look at me. I’m over forty years old and I’ve been beaten twice in my life. The last time was ten years ago when I was asking for money at the construction site and the boss beat me up, but he turned around and gave me the money.”

“This time it was you. I was waiting at home. You hit me, there should be an explanation, but I didn’t wait for you. Instead, your men came.”

"Actually, when your subordinate pulled out those tens of thousands of yuan, I was already planning to let it go. I hadn't earned that much in the previous forty years combined; it's enough for my retirement."

"But... your men threw it on the table right in front of me, as if they were treating me like a dog, giving me charity."

"At that time, I thought, you were the ones who embezzled the money, and you beat me. How come I ended up being the dog?"

The more Lao Gao said this, the more afraid Jiao Shengli became.

Especially for someone like Lao Gao who lacks education, saying all this is definitely not intended to clean up his mess.

Jiao Shengli gritted his teeth, "Old Gao, I'll give you one million!! One million!"

Old Gao's eyes became blank. He slowly looked ahead, from which he could see the entire view of Wangdu Village on the mountain below.

“How wonderful, a million… If you had told me a million yesterday, or even just a few hours ago, I would have knelt down and thanked you. A million would have been enough to change the social standing of my Gao family and ensure that my Gao family line would continue. Look at me, I’m still not married, do you know why?”

Old Gao shifted his posture and chuckled, "I'm useless. I can't make money. This countryside is too poor. Which woman would want to marry me?"

"But even someone like me, you still bully me! You fucking bully me!"

"Old Gao, don't be impulsive! Really, I swear, I really will give you a million!!" Jiao Shengli's voice trembled, but his eyes were fixed on the car door handle.

If he rushes out and closes the door behind him, he can avoid a fatal blow, and the bodyguards in the distance will definitely come to his rescue.

He only has this one chance!
"It's too late. I killed Accountant Liu. I've killed several people. It's all too late. Alright, let's get going. I still need to go to the village chief's house."

Lao Gao instantly fired, blowing Jiao Shengli's head off.

Jiao Shengli's idea of ​​escaping came to an abrupt end.

The massive blast made the car buzz, but the car had the best ventilation, and the machines from Ruiyang Mining were roaring all around.

The loud bang of the shot went unnoticed by the bodyguards in the distance.

Old Gao wiped his cheek expressionlessly, then staggered down the mountain from the side.

The road leading down the mountain is to the side, and with the cars blocking the view, the bodyguards are completely out of sight.
