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

"Zhang Shaoyang, I knew it was you!"

Upon hearing the name of the mastermind, Ye Chen sneered. His single expression immediately made Liu Yang tremble with fear.

"Brother, I've said everything I needed to say. Please, have mercy on me! I'll never take this kind of job again!"

"I promise you, if you give me just one chance, I'll change completely. No, I'll follow you from now on, and I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"

Liu Yang kowtowed repeatedly, and soon his head was covered in blood.

Seeing his timid appearance, Ye Chen began to make plans in his mind.

Although Liu Yang is a witness, Zhang Shaoyang can easily overturn the evidence by leveraging his connections.

Therefore, handling this matter officially will not solve it!

To get rid of Zhang Shaoyang, we must find a way to lure him out. Once Zhang Shaoyang is in our hands, we can control whatever the outcome may be.

"You said it yourself, you're willing to help me with anything I say, and coincidentally, I have a small favor to do you!"

Finally, Ye Chen waved to Liu Yang in front of him.

Liu Yang quickly stepped forward, and Ye Chen then whispered his plan in his ear.

Hearing this, Liu Yang looked troubled: "Brother, not to be rude, but that Zhang guy has a powerful background. It's really not worth going head-to-head with him!"

"Besides, this is easy to do, but if it gets found out, not only me, but you won't be able to get away with it either!"

"Oh? So you really are loyal. Well then, don't blame me!"

Seeing Liu Yang refuse, Ye Chen didn't hesitate and immediately raised the shotgun, aiming it at Liu Yang's head.

Faced with the dark muzzle of a gun, Liu Yang was immediately terrified, throwing all fear and apprehension to the back of his mind.

The ultimate goal is simply to survive at this critical juncture.

Forget Zhang Shaoyang, anyone who blocks my way will die!

"Brother, I'll take care of it, I'll get right on it. You wait, I'll call the guy over for you tonight!"

At that moment, Liu Yang patted his chest repeatedly to assure Ye Chen, who then let out a cold laugh.

"If this matter isn't resolved, or if you run away halfway through, I definitely won't let you go. You've seen my methods; catching you won't be difficult for me!"

After Ye Chen's threats, Liu Yang naturally dared not act recklessly and could only follow Ye Chen's instructions to hurriedly leave the old forest.

"Ye Chen, how could you let him get away? I think you should have broken both his legs!"

A moment later, Ye Chen returned, and Qian Jiali immediately rushed forward, indignantly saying...

Although the three women had never witnessed a murder, they were not soft-hearted people. When someone is planning to kill you, what is there to be merciful about?

"That's right, Ye Chen, letting a tiger return to the mountain is not a good thing!" Luo Ling also frowned and stepped forward, even making arrangements.

"If you ask me, it's not too late. You take Tian Cong and catch up with that guy. Then, just shoot him dead!"

"How can you be even more cruel than me? Murder is a crime, and I'm a law-abiding citizen!"

Seeing the three women's serious expressions, Ye Chen rolled his eyes and teased them.

Upon hearing this, Tian Cong immediately covered his mouth, almost bursting out laughing.

Tian Cong knew Ye Chen's background better than anyone else; no one who offended Ye Chen ever came out unscathed.

Now they're putting on airs, calling themselves law-abiding citizens, nobody believes them!

But the three women thought Ye Chen had good intentions and even kept trying to comfort him.

"Ye Chen, you're the easiest target for bullying when you act like this. A man needs to be tough!"

"That's right, Ye Chen. They've come knocking on our door, so we'll fight back. We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either!"

"Ye Chen, don't worry about us. Even if the police come, it will be self-defense. What are we afraid of?"

Seeing the three women's disappointed expressions, Tian Cong couldn't help but roll his eyes.

I have to say, Ye Chen's acting skills are really good. Even though three women were fooled by Ye Chen, in the end, he became the most innocent one!

"Alright, let's get to the fishing as planned. We've come all this way, we can't go back empty-handed!"

Finally, Ye Chen changed the subject and gave instructions. The three women stomped their feet and stepped forward to cooperate.

In winter, most fish huddle together, and Ye Chen, relying on his experience, caught a bountiful catch with one net!

"With so many fish, we can dry them into fish jerky and eat them all winter!"

"We can't just eat fish all the time, can we? Let's go back and sell these fish, then trade them with the villagers for other kinds of meat!"

"Yes, this is a rare find. It's all-natural and pollution-free. You probably can't even find it in the county town!"

The three women were soaked to the bone, but they were still in high spirits.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen also revealed a knowing smile.

I've sacrificed so much, isn't it all for this moment?

As long as the three women are safe and sound, Ye Chen is satisfied!

……

the other side.

Liu Yang returned in a disheveled state and immediately found the mastermind behind it all, Zhang Shaoyang.

The moment Liu Yang stepped into the room, his expression changed completely.

His previous disheveled appearance had vanished, replaced by a haughty air.

Facing Zhang Shaoyang's gaze, he slammed his hand on the table: "Young Master Zhang, the task you assigned me is quite tough!"

"Ye Chen has several brothers by his side, they're not easy to deal with. You're only giving me 5000 yuan, isn't that a bit too disrespectful?"

Faced with Liu Yang's threatening tone, Zhang Shaoyang's expression darkened: "What do you mean?"

"You'll have to pay more!" Liu Yang raised an eyebrow before continuing, "Luckily, I'm capable enough to have caught that kid Ye Chen. I've tied him up and hidden him away!"

"Young Master Zhang, I'm practically handing you the chance to personally torment him. If you're willing to take matters into your own hands, 5000 yuan won't be enough!"

"What? Are you serious?"

Zhang Shaoyang immediately perked up. He had previously expressed some regret that he couldn't personally finish off Ye Chen.

Now, Liu Yang's words are like a timely help, making up for his last regret!

"If you really catch Ye Chen, I'll give you a raise, ten thousand!"

"Alright! Young Master Zhang, give me the money first, and I'll take you to find Ye Chen right away!" Liu Yang made the request directly.

This statement caused Zhang Shaoyang's expression to change slightly.

However, considering Liu Yang's abilities and the other party's current demeanor, it seemed unlikely that he was lying.

After much hesitation, Zhang Shaoyang finally agreed to the other party's suggestion: "You wait here, I'll go inside and get you the money!"

After saying this, Zhang Shaoyang got up and went back into the house. A moment later, he returned with a thick stack of 100-yuan bills in his hand!

"Here's the 5000 yuan. Count it carefully. The money's in hand now, hurry and take me to find someone!"

"I'm warning you, you've heard of the Zhang family's power. If you dare to mess with me, I'll make sure you regret it!"
