Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Within half an hour, Wang Jian'an's men had found out about Ye Chen.

"That kid has checked into the old shopkeeper's house. He's already inside. I've sent people to keep an eye on him; I guarantee he won't be able to escape!"

Wang Jian'an turned around and bewitched Boss Zheng, then took the initiative to make a suggestion.

"Let's work together this time, each of us leading the team, and set the whole yard on fire!"

"As long as we send people to block the exit, that brat Ye Chen is bound to perish in the flames!"

"By then, no one will be competing with us for these shops anymore, and in the end, you and I will be the biggest beneficiaries!"

Boss Zheng immediately hesitated: "Why don't you just arrange for someone to take action? Why do we have to lead the way?"

"How can ordinary people trust someone who commits murder and arson?" Wang Jian'an frowned and patiently explained.

"Besides, for people like us to truly connect, we need to have something on each other's hands. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel comfortable sharing a room with you!"

"You tried to make me take the bullet for you, and you completely fooled me. If I hadn't been careful, what would I have done if you had betrayed me in the end?"

Wang Jian'an may seem unchanged, but the matter Ye Chen told him before has already planted a seed in his heart.

Wang Jian'an doesn't trust Boss Zheng!

To prevent it from being exploited again later, Boss Zheng has to do this!

Otherwise, their collaboration will definitely fall apart!

"Alright... I'll listen to you this time!" Boss Zheng thought for a long time with a gloomy face, and finally nodded.

At this moment, he was completely going all out!

All I have left is 50,000 yuan, and it's a struggle to make a comeback!

If we don't pull off a big heist with Wang Jian'an, how will we make our fortune?

……

late at night.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Wang Jian'an and Boss Zheng personally took charge, each dressed in black, with two henchmen following behind them.

Upon arriving at the old shopkeeper's house, the two stood against the wall and exchanged a glance.

"Ye Chen hasn't shown up since he went in. He should be fast asleep by now."

"Let's hurry up and start burning oil on the surrounding slopes. When the fire starts, everyone and everything will be reduced to ashes!"

At Wang Jian'an's command, the two men immediately took action. This time, the two underlings stood by and watched intently as Boss Zheng was taken down.

Under such pressure, Boss Zheng had no choice but to submit.

After pouring the gasoline, he and Wang Jian'an lit a match at the same time.

With a flick of his right hand, the flame traced a graceful arc in the air before landing in the gasoline and spreading instantly!

In an instant, the flames rose up and shot high into the air!

"We've succeeded! As long as the two of us guard the exit and don't let anyone escape, Ye Chen is doomed today!"

Wang Jian'an excitedly said, grabbing Boss Zheng and insisting on standing guard outside the door.

Unexpectedly, more than a dozen figures suddenly darted out from the surrounding darkness!

These people seemed to have been prepared, each holding a bucket of water, and methodically extinguished the fire.

Meanwhile, five other people surrounded Wang Jian'an and his three companions!

Upon seeing the clothes the other people were wearing, Wang Jian'an's expression changed drastically. These people were actually police officers!

"Wang Jian'an, we meet again. This time you deliberately set fire to murder for money. The evidence is overwhelming. How do you think you can escape now?"

Zhao Changshun stepped out from the crowd with a sneer on his face.

When Wang Jian'an saw the police uniform on the other person, his body went limp and his face turned deathly pale!

"you……"

Even now, Wang Jian'an still doesn't understand why the police arrived so quickly.

Even those inside the courtyard noticed something was wrong, but no one showed up to call the police!

"Ye Chen told me long ago that you would definitely come back tonight to set fires. I brought men to lie in wait here, and Wang Jian'an, as expected, walked right into our trap!"

Zhao Changshun said that at the end he simply waved his hand and said, "Go, take them all back to the police station!"

This explanation cleared up Wang Jian'an's doubts!

In an instant, Wang Jian'an suddenly realized that Ye Chen's performance that afternoon had made him understand the other party's plan.

The bait had already been cast the moment Ye Chen took out the cash!

It was his own greed that led him to take the bait. He was caught by the police this time, and he can only blame his excessive greed!

"Ye Chen, you are shameless!"

Wang Jian'an, his face grim, let out a mournful wail.

Defeated by Ye Chen, he was unwilling to accept it, but he felt that the handcuffs on his hands were particularly cold. In the end, he could only lower his head, looking like a drowned dog!

Meanwhile, Boss Zheng looked dejected, cursing Wang Jian'an's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind!

This time, Wang Jian'an went into the water and ended up getting himself caught in the crossfire. Who can he complain to?

……

the next day.

Zhao Changshun interrogated Wang Jian'an overnight and extracted a lot of useful information from him.

Wang Jian'an's nightclub was also completely ransacked by Zhao Changshun and his men, and the thugs and henchmen who had worked there before all dispersed.

He was considered a local tyrant in the county!

Factory Street.

Ye Chen simply set up a stall, with Tian Cong carrying cash in a sack next to him.

Shop owners lined up to exchange goods and receive payment on the spot!

After a whole day of work, the factory finally changed hands with more than twenty shops.

With a stack of contracts in hand, Ye Chen's goal was finally achieved. Now all that's left is to wait until next year for the factory to sell these shops!

……

As night fell.

Ye Chen has already brought Tian Cong back home.

Ye Chen had already deposited that cash in the bank, so he wouldn't need to spend any money for a while.

Keeping cash at home is a risky business as it attracts thieves; it's safest to keep it in a bank.

As soon as Ye Chen arrived at his doorstep, he saw a large crowd gathered around the entrance, including many familiar faces.

"What are you doing...?"

When the villagers saw Ye Chen return, they immediately surrounded him, their faces filled with gratitude, and they all expressed their thanks.

"Brother Ye Chen, thank you so much this time! We bought a lot of clivia plants following your advice, and now we're making a fortune!"

"Winter is just around the corner, and the house is packed with food. We're sure to have a prosperous year!"

"Brother Ye Chen, if you ever need anything in the future, just let me know. I'll risk my life to help you!"

It turns out that these were villagers who had made money by following Ye Chen. They had followed Ye Chen to the bitter end and trusted him completely.

Now that they've benefited from Ye Chen's help, they naturally have to pay a visit to express their gratitude!

"As I said before, I'm just giving you advice; whether you make money or lose money in the end is up to you!"

Ye Chen smiled and spoke, not daring to take credit, but instead comforting the villagers.

"Since you trusted me and made money, it's because you had good judgment."

"Go back now, have a good New Year this winter, and next spring, those who want to follow me can come and report to me in advance!"
