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

Outside the cave entrance.

Several underlings had already loaded the wooden barrels onto the donkey cart.

They waited and waited, but Li Chen never appeared.

"Why isn't Big Brother coming up?"

Sensing something was wrong, the group panicked.

Just then, the previously loose rope suddenly tightened.

"Big brother's up here!"

The men quickly pulled hard, yanking the rope upwards.

A moment later, a tall figure emerged from the cave entrance.

"Big brother..."

Upon seeing this, the three immediately moved forward, but before they could react, Ye Chen had already turned around.

In his hand, the dark muzzle of the shotgun was already pointed at the three men!

"Don't move!"

Faced with such a threat, the three henchmen tensed up and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy!

"Big brother, please let us go!"

"Big brother, Li Chen forced us into this; we don't want to offend you!"

"Enough nonsense. I'm giving you two choices: either jump down the rope, or I'll send you on your way!"

Ye Chen immediately launched into a barrage of pressure.

The three of them quickly began to bargain.

In the end, he could only lower his head, grab the rope, and jump into the hole!

"Brother Tian, ​​the matter is resolved, you can come out now!"

Ye Chen went to the end of the rope and untied the knot that was tied to the tree.

Then he shouted at the old forest.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's voice, Tian Cong, who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately showed himself.

Seeing that Ye Chen was the only one left around him, Tian Cong couldn't help but panic.

"Bro, what about Li Chen's gang? You didn't just... "

By the end of his speech, Tian Cong's face had darkened.

He used to travel all over the country with his boss, so he's seen a bit of the world.

I've also met some old hunters in the village and heard many stories about ruthless people.

But no one was like Ye Chen, who could deal with seven or eight people without changing his expression!

Is this still the same drunken coward I remember?

Even I probably wouldn't have that kind of courage.

"Brother Cong, don't overthink it, I just herded them all into the cave!"

Ye Chen quickly explained, gesturing towards the cave entrance with his lips.

Tian Cong shuddered and asked, "That hole is at least ten meters deep. Without the rope, can they still get up?"

Ye Chen didn't answer, he just smiled.

What does it matter to me whether Li Chen and his group can come up or not?

In his previous life, Ye Chen had struggled and witnessed many different methods.

Which person who truly wants to climb the ladder doesn't have ruthless methods?

You, Li Chen, wanted me dead, but I only locked you in a cave; that's already merciful enough!

If you're lucky enough to climb up, feel free to come and settle the score with me!

If you're unlucky enough to die down there, that's your fate!

Evil deeds bring evil consequences; fate is a cycle of reincarnation.

This is society!

"Brother Cong, don't think too much. If we hadn't been lucky today, we'd probably be the corpses in the cave right now."

"There are five more buckets of fish here, and together with the ones we caught earlier, it's at least three thousand catties."

"Let's go to town together tomorrow and buy these fish. Each of us can get at least a thousand yuan."

"Let's get started and get these fish back first."

Ye Chen urged him on.

Tian Cong stood there stunned for a long time before finally nodding.

He was not a kind person, but he found it difficult to accept at the moment.

At this moment, I have figured it out.

At the same time, I made up my mind.

From now on, Ye Chen is absolutely not to be messed with!

Being his friend now is probably the greatest fortune I can have.

This relationship must be maintained!

Judging from the ruthlessness Ye Chen displayed today, given time, he will definitely become a force to be reckoned with!

……

An hour later.

The two men returned the five buckets of fish to Tian Cong's courtyard.

We've made an appointment to set off early tomorrow morning to go into town and sell fish!

Tian Cong even stated that he would use his connections tonight to directly contact a tractor.

At that time, it will be convenient to travel back and forth.

There's no need to drive a donkey cart back and forth anymore.

Ye Chen trusted Tian Cong's abilities and immediately agreed to return the donkey cart.

While we're at it, let's find out if the Li family father and son have returned from the old forest.

A short while later, Ye Chen arrived at the Li family's house.

Li Yan's mother was the one who received them again. After asking around, Li Yan and his father were still nowhere to be found.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Chen frowned slightly.

I vaguely sensed something was wrong.

It has been four days since I last saw the Li family father and son!

Given Old Man Li's caution, he would never take such a risk and stay in the old forest for so long!

Besides, Ye Chen had seen the package the two were carrying.

Judging from their size, the supplies they carried probably wouldn't be enough to keep them in the old forest for so long.

The two must have encountered some accident since they haven't returned for so long!

"Auntie, let me give you a heads-up. If all else fails, hurry and notify the commune so they can organize a search and rescue team. It might still be in time!"

Before parting, Ye Chen left behind a message.

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's mother's expression changed immediately, and she nodded repeatedly.

As Ye Chen walked out of Li Yan's house, he touched his nose.

I was just lucky in my past life, otherwise I probably would have died a dozen times over!

Hopefully, this was just an accident involving the Li family father and son, and they will return safely!

……

Commune office.

Tian Xiaohui had just finished organizing last month's accounts.

Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, Captain Liu Changjun appeared in the office carrying a stack of files.

"County leaders are coming these next couple of days, and these accounts must be recorded clearly!"

"You have two days; you must finish this."

"I will personally inspect it then; there absolutely cannot be any omissions!"

Tian Xiaohui flipped through the files and immediately became furious.

"Captain, these accounts are from two years ago. They should have been recorded long ago!"

"I wasn't the finance director back then, so I had no idea about the ins and outs of the accounts."

"If I'm doing the bookkeeping at this time, and something goes wrong, it'll be a serious matter!"

Although Tian Xiaohui had never studied law, she brushed up on her financial knowledge after becoming the director.

Even the slightest discrepancy in the commune's accounts.

In the end, even I, as the director, could end up in jail!

I shouldn't be responsible for the accounts from two years ago at all.

Liu Changjun was clearly trying to make things difficult for himself using this excuse!

"What? I'm the captain. You do what I tell you to do!"

"Even though you've become the director, you still have to listen to me, the team leader. If you don't want to do it, then resign. There are plenty of other people who will!"

Liu Changjun sneered and directly threatened him.

He held back for several days, not daring to do anything rash.

They were afraid that Ye Chen would find an excuse to expose their previous shameful deeds again!

But just last night, Liu Changjun met with a very important person.

The other party has already agreed to transfer me to the county seat!

It will only take a week at most for Liu Changjun to be transferred to a state-owned factory.

By then, Shuangshu Village will be a thing of the past for Liu Changjun.

What happened to Ye Chen?

There's nothing you can do about it!
