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

Half an hour later, Ye Chen followed Liu Yang to the neighboring village.

Ye Chen had barely stepped across the threshold when he heard a whistling sound.

Upon closer inspection, the once arrogant Zhang Shaoyang was now bound by ropes, curled up in a corner.

Upon seeing Ye Chen, he shook his head repeatedly, his eyes filled with fear.

"Young Master Zhang, I heard you wanted to kill me?"

"Then tell me, now that you're in my hands, how am I supposed to deal with you?" Ye Chen asked with a cold laugh.

Zhang Shaoyang's pupils dilated instantly, and he trembled all over.

Seeing this, Liu Yang immediately chimed in, "Brother Ye Chen, stop wasting your breath on him. I'll just dig a hole in the back and bury him!"

"That kid's dishonest, he's up to no good, and he's trying to cause you trouble. You absolutely can't let him get away with this!"

"You're wrong about that. Everyone makes mistakes. What we need to do is give them a chance!" Ye Chen said, putting on a serious expression.

After saying this, he stepped forward and pulled the strip of cloth out of Zhang Shaoyang's mouth!

"Ye Chen, you're right. I made a mistake on impulse. Give me a chance, and I promise I'll never do it again!"

"I'll agree to any condition as long as you let me go. Ye Chen, you're a smart man. Killing me will only bring you trouble. Let me go, and you can name your terms!"

Zhang Shaoyang was truly terrified, after all, he had harbored malicious intentions and now he had fallen into Ye Chen's hands.

Even if the other party kills him, probably no one will know.

Desperate to survive, Zhang Shaoyang went all out. Seeing Ye Chen remain silent, he took the initiative to propose his terms.

"Ye Chen, how about this? I'll write a letter home right now, and you can send someone to deliver it to my house. I'll have my family give you 100,000 yuan immediately!"

"Young Master Zhang, you must be joking. You are the eldest son of the Zhang family, and you think a living person is only worth 100,000 yuan?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and teased, "You should know that I recently made a lot of money, so I really don't lack this stuff."

"So, Young Master Zhang, you'd better show some sincerity. Ten thousand yuan won't sway me!"

"I..." Zhang Shaoyang paused for a moment, then, recalling the various rumors, spoke again.

"Here's what we'll do, Ye Chen. I'll have someone give you 500,000 yuan. As long as you're willing to let me go, the 500,000 yuan is all yours!"

"Enough nonsense, one million each time. Your Zhang family is a large and powerful family with many connections even in the provincial capital. One million is an astronomical figure for others, but it's no trouble for your Zhang family!"

Ye Chen didn't bother with any nonsense and directly stated his conditions. As soon as he said this, Zhang Shaoyang was completely in an uproar!

"What?! One million?! Ye Chen, you might as well just kill me!"

"Even if you take my life, my family can't come up with a million. Let me tell you, you're dreaming!"

"Since you've put it that way, there's nothing to discuss, Liu Yang, let's dig the pit!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and gave an order. Liu Yang behind him immediately picked up a hoe and was about to run to the backyard.

"Alright, Brother Ye Chen, one word from you and we'll bury him tonight!"

"Wait!" Zhang Shaoyang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Let's talk this over. My family really can't come up with one million, and five hundred thousand won't do, how about six hundred thousand?"

"Young Master Zhang, do you think I don't know the Zhang family's wealth?" Ye Chen sneered.

"My father-in-law was in trouble before, and your Zhang family provided 500,000 yuan as assistance. Later, my father-in-law paid back the money ahead of schedule."

"You can easily come up with 500,000, and now you're telling me you don't have any money?"

"Ye Chen, it's not what you think at all!" Zhang Shaoyang tried to argue.

Ye Chen, however, had run out of patience and kicked Zhang Shaoyang in the chest.

"Enough with the nonsense. If you don't want to pay, you're dead. I don't have time to haggle with you!"

"Young Master Zhang, you provoked me first this time. Don't blame me for being ruthless. Liu Yang took action and buried him. I'll give you 100,000!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yang's eyes lit up, and he became as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Previously, he worked for Zhang Shaoyang and was only paid 10,000 yuan. Now, Ye Chen asked for a huge sum of 100,000 yuan.

Liu Yang wished he could strangle Zhang Shaoyang right then and there so he could instantly become a millionaire!

"Come on, follow me to the backyard!"

Liu Yang grabbed Zhang Shaoyang by the neck and dragged him toward the backyard with all his might.

Upon arriving at the location, he immediately picked up a shovel and began digging a hole, raising a cloud of dust. Zhang Shaoyang's expression changed drastically!

"You still have a chance to back out before the pit is dug; otherwise, it will be too late to back out once it's finished!"

Ye Chen interjected, pressuring, "I'm a very reasonable person. You wanted to kill me, and I'm only asking for one million. That's already merciful enough!"

"Young Master Zhang, time is limited. I think you really don't want to live anymore, do you?"

"I'll give you one! Get me paper and a pen, I'll write a letter right now!"

Seeing Liu Yang's swift movements, he dug a half-meter-deep pit in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Shaoyang's expression finally changed, and he let out a loud roar.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yang frowned, looked at Zhang Shaoyang with eager anticipation, and spoke to Ye Chen.

"Brother Ye Chen, this kid agreed so readily, who knows what tricks he's up to? If you ask me, we should just bury him!"

"I don't mind the trouble. Leave the digging to me. Some people don't deserve to live. What we're doing is a way of ridding the world of evil!"

Liu Yang was determined to get the 100,000 yuan reward offered by Ye Chen, and when Zhang Shaoyang heard this, he wanted to curse him out.

Finally, forcing himself to be patient, he explained to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, have you thought this through? If you kill me, you'll have everything. If you let me go, you'll have a million."

"That's a million dollars! You'll never earn that much money in your entire life!"

"I'm willing to cooperate with you. If you're still not comfortable with it, I'll write the letter and then have you sign a confession!"

"I've written down everything I did to you before, and I've even put my fingerprint on it. If I ever change my mind, you can take this confession to me and sue me anytime. Are you relieved now?"

In order to save his life, Zhang Shaoyang went all out, even offering up incriminating evidence against himself.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen grinned.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shaoyang was so sensible that he even made arrangements for his funeral.

Since the other party is so self-aware, I should naturally give Zhang Shaoyang a chance to show his abilities!

Ye Chen waved his hand and instructed Liu Yang, "Go and get paper and pen so that Young Master Zhang can write a letter."

"Take this letter to the Zhang family to exchange for money. If you bring the money back, I'll give you another 100,000!"

"Okay!" Upon hearing that he would get paid even if he didn't kill anyone, Liu Yang perked up and quickly did as Ye Chen said.

At this moment, in Liu Yang's eyes, Ye Chen was simply his God of Wealth!
