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

As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, the seven or eight people surrounding him immediately started shouting.

"Damn it, are you blind? I told you to put your things down, so you put them down!"

"You'd rather risk your life than your money? Haven't you ever suffered before?"

"Brother, be smart. What's it like to end up missing limbs and being disabled for the rest of your life?"

"You fucking dare talk to me like that? I'll fight you to the death today!"

Tian Cong had worked for his boss before, so what kind of situation hadn't he seen?

Even when facing a group of thugs, he showed no fear whatsoever!

He cursed and grabbed the whip in his hand, ready to strike the other person.

Seeing this, Ye Chen was afraid that Tian Cong would be at a disadvantage, so he quickly stepped forward and stopped him.

"Brother Cong, wait a minute!"

Ye Chen hugged Tian Cong's waist, and Tian Cong finally stopped, turned around, and glared at Ye Chen fiercely.

"Brother, don't stop me! I'm going to teach these guys a lesson tomorrow!"

Brother Cong, if I hadn't stopped you today, you'd probably be the one getting beaten up!

Ye Chen felt helpless, but on the surface he deliberately tried to dissuade him.

"Brother Cong, don't be impulsive. It's just a little fish anyway, let them have it!"

"Don't forget, we're still busy. Give them the fish, and we'll have a big business to do later!"

"Hahaha, what big deal? Kid, you're a smart man. If you tell me honestly, I might spare you today!"

Li Chen's eyes lit up as he was drawn to Ye Chen's words and pressed him further.

"If you don't tell me today, I guarantee you won't be able to go back to the village! This place is right next to an old forest, full of wolves and tigers; it's normal for someone to die here!"

"We brothers only care about money, not your life. As long as you cooperate obediently, we'll even give you a share in the end!"

Seeing that the secret had been exposed, Tian Cong was even more furious and glared fiercely at Ye Chen.

Little did they know that Ye Chen was deliberately making it clear, and that he had already made up his mind long ago.

Li Chen and his gang of bastards are bullying people just because they outnumber them!

This place is too close to the village; if a fight breaks out, some things will be difficult to resolve.

Why not lure this group into the woods first? With my familiarity with the forest, I can easily manipulate them.

"Hey Li Chen, I know a place where there are tons of wild fish. You can catch a thousand pounds in one net!"

"Tian Cong and I were originally planning to take these three buckets of fish back, making a few more trips. But since we're all brothers, let's just do it together!"

"When the time comes, we'll catch fish and sell them in town. We can discuss the price; we're all brothers, everyone gets a share!"

Ye Chen feigned enthusiasm and stepped forward to speak.

Upon hearing this, Li Chen burst into laughter.

Is this guy in front of me an idiot?

Still thinking about splitting the money with me?

But it's fine, let's find out the specifics from him first, and let this fool lead the way!

Once we get there, all the fish will be ours!

If this idiot dares to say anything more, just kill him and throw him into a ravine.

The old forest is sparsely populated, and dozens of people die there every year. They just say they encountered wild animals, and even if they report it to the police, they can't trace it back to themselves!

Finally, Li Chen put his arm around Ye Chen's shoulder with a warm expression.

"Brother, you're right. We're all friends. If I have food to eat, I'll make sure you don't go hungry!"

"Alright, the brothers will help you take the fish back first, and then we'll head into the mountains together before it gets dark!"

"You lead the way for the brothers, and you'll get a share of all the fish they catch. I'm a loyal guy, I keep my word, and I promise I won't cheat you!"

"Great!" Ye Chen nodded repeatedly, as if he had been injected with adrenaline, agreeing with this statement.

Seeing this, Tian Cong couldn't help but cover his eyes.

It's unbearable to look at!

Ye Chen usually seems clever, so why would he believe Li Chen's nonsense at such a crucial moment?

Damn it, now I can only go along with Ye Chen's words and look for an opportunity later to see if I can save his life!

……

After half an hour.

Ye Chen led Li Chen and the others back into the mountains.

Tian Cong moved closer to Ye Chen and couldn't help but complain, "Brother, what you just did..."

Before Tian Cong could utter a complete sentence, Ye Chen suddenly turned his head and winked at Tian Cong.

Tian Cong was stunned!

Before he could react, Ye Chen suddenly leaned forward, whispered in Tian Cong's ear.

"Brother Cong, just follow my instructions later. I guarantee we won't suffer any losses, and these people won't gain anything either!"

Ye Chen was faking it!

In an instant, Tian Cong realized what was happening and was about to ask a question when the group had already arrived at the cave entrance.

Ye Chen pointed to the rope tied to the tree and began to tell his story. Upon hearing that there were tens of thousands of catties of fish in the cave, Li Chen and his men became excited.

"These days, even wild fish meat costs one yuan per pound wholesale. Tens of thousands of pounds of fish would be worth tens of thousands of yuan!"

"If this deal goes through, we'll be rich!"

Many of the younger men were so excited that they danced around, and in the end, one even grabbed the rope and was about to jump into the hole!

"etc!"

At the critical moment, Li Chen reacted quickly and stopped his men.

Then he turned to Ye Chen, smiled, and said, "Brother, you're familiar with the situation down there. To make things easier, could you go down first and show everyone the way?"

"Sure thing, Brother Li Chen!"

Ye Chen was exceptionally decisive, nodding directly, but then he put forward conditions.

"Brother Li Chen, I have no problem leading the way, but I don't trust these people around you. What if I go down and you cut the rope? I'll have nowhere to turn!"

"How about this, I'll go down first, but Brother Tian Cong has to stay up there. I'll feel at ease with him watching the rope. You can also send someone up there to keep an eye on things, so neither of us will lose out!"

"Okay!" Li Chen didn't take Ye Chen seriously at all, and nodded without thinking when faced with such a suggestion.

Seeing that the other party had fallen into the trap, Ye Chen didn't say a word and immediately grabbed the rope and jumped towards the hole.

He knew the situation perfectly well. Once inside the cave, he could simply find a place to hide, and Li Chen and the others would definitely not be able to find him!

At that time, the enemy will be in the open while we are in the dark.

Dealing with them would be a piece of cake.

"Brother Li Chen, I'm going downstairs first. Make sure the brothers are settled in, one by one!"

Ye Chen gave a word of advice, and the next second, he disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing that someone was taking the lead, Li Chen and his men could no longer hold back.

"Third brother, you go down first. Once you're sure everything's alright, start shaking the rope for the brothers!"

Li Chen rubbed his hands together, turned around and gave an order to a fat man next to him.

At that moment, a group of people went down into the cave one by one.

Soon, only Tian Cong and one of Li Chen's brothers remained outside the cave entrance!

……

Underground river.

Led by the third brother, Li Chen quickly reached the end.

Holding a torch, he swept it across the deep pool and saw the fish gathering in large numbers, which immediately filled him with excitement.

"Hahaha, just like that kid said! There are at least tens of thousands of pounds of fish here!"

"If we send all of these into the city, we could definitely sell them for tens of thousands of yuan. We're rich! We're really rich this time!"

In his excitement, Li Chen suddenly sneered and gave an order to his underlings.

"Now that we've got the benefits, some people are no longer useful!"

"Arrest Ye Chen and kill him!"

Upon hearing this, the henchmen behind him all turned ferocious and scanned their surroundings.

After searching for a week, all they heard was the third brother's surprised voice.

"Brother Li Chen, wait a minute, where did that kid who led the way go?"
