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

"Ye Chen, you're finally back!"

Balding at home.

The moment the courtyard gate opened, Qian Jiali rushed over.

With lingering fear, she recounted her experience of almost having her home raided!

"Where is the person you're talking about?"

Ye Chen's face darkened as he asked.

Led by Qian Jiali, we finally met the tall and strong Haitao!

At this moment, Hai Tao's injured thigh had been bandaged, and his hands and feet were bound with ropes.

Upon seeing Ye Chen, his expression instantly darkened, and he spoke directly.

"If you've got the guts, kill me. Once you've taken a life, you won't live much longer either!"

"There's no time to deal with him, gag him, and bring him along later!"

Ye Chen frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke.

The most important thing now is to get out of Cat Village as soon as possible.

Hai Tao is being controlled by Qian Jiali, and he might know about their backgrounds. This person cannot be allowed to live; he must be taken away!

"What's wrong?"

Qian Jiali was stunned for a moment. Seeing Ye Chen give the order and the others immediately start packing up, she hurriedly asked.

Ye Chen didn't have time to say more and gave the order.

"This is an emergency. Now is not the time to talk. You should pack your things quickly and we'll leave Cat Village tonight."

This harvest amounted to tens of thousands of yuan.

In 84, such a huge sum of money was an astronomical figure!

It's important to understand that in this day and age, households with ten thousand yuan are extremely rare.

Like Wang Jian'an, who previously bullied and monopolized the market, his assets were only around 100,000 yuan.

Ye Chen's single transaction was equivalent to half of Wang Jian'an's net worth.

Once the news gets out, the entire Cat Village will probably go crazy!

People die for money. At that time, not only Liu Zhen, but probably all the mountain hunters will hunt down Ye Chen and his companions.

If we can't escape tonight, we're probably going to die!

"Okay!" Qian Jiali had never seen Ye Chen so panicked before, and she nodded quickly without saying a word.

Qian Jiali had matured considerably in dealing with Haitao and his group.

At this moment, she naturally wouldn't become a burden to Ye Chen.

Fifteen minutes later.

Ye Chen and his group were all ready.

Balding packed up his savings and hunting rifle, discarding everything else!

"Don't leave yet, balding man, come help me!"

As everyone climbed into the tractor's trailer and was about to start, Ye Chen suddenly jumped off and waved to the balding man.

The two huddled together and fiddled with it for a while.

Five minutes later, he hurriedly jumped into the truck bed and drove away.

……

the other side.

Liu Zhen, relying on his status as the village chief's son, summoned more than thirty people.

The crowd, holding torches, shouted that they would capture the bald man.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Liu Zhen's father, as the village head, quickly stepped in and stopped his son.

"Liu Zhen, you good-for-nothing! It's one thing to cause trouble on ordinary days, but today you dare to gather men in such a grand manner! Do you even respect your father at all?!"

Village Chief Liu had cleaned up Liu Zhen's messes many times before and knew his son's character well.

He blinked repeatedly while speaking.

It was clearly meant to tell Liu Zhen to tone it down!

Things have gotten so out of hand that even I, as the father, can't handle it!

"Father, let me explain!"

Liu Zhen then stepped forward and whispered something in Village Chief Liu's ear.

At the end, Village Chief Liu looked surprised: "Is everything you said true?"

"Of course it's true, Dad. That kid's an outsider. Anyone else would know to behave themselves in front of a local bully."

"I'm 80% sure this group has found some treasure, and it's definitely worth a lot!"

"I've heard about it. Yesterday, this group of people sold a batch of Ganoderma lucidum by taking advantage of their baldness. They made more than 8,000 yuan just from these things."

"What's in those burlap sacks is definitely worth more than this batch of Ganoderma lucidum. Dad, think about it, if this money ended up in our hands..."

Money can be a powerful motivator, and upon hearing this, Village Chief Liu immediately narrowed his eyes.

What qualifications did he have to become the village chief?

To put it bluntly, it's all about having money!

Every year during the village elections, every single vote is bought with real money!

Otherwise, why would the villagers support you?

It's not just about electing village chiefs; dealing with higher-ups always costs money.

If he could suddenly have tens of thousands of yuan, not only would he be able to continue as village chief next year, but he would also be able to take a further step forward!

As for the villagers knowing about this... in the end, it's easy to shut them up with a little money!

Don't miss this opportunity, what are you waiting for?

In an instant, Village Chief Liu made up his mind and spoke loudly.

"Fellow villagers, Liu Zhen didn't cause trouble this time; someone stole his things!"

"A group of outsiders, who were hanging out with the bald man, stole the Ganoderma lucidum that my son had picked. It was worth several thousand yuan. My son was in a hurry, which is why he made such a fuss."

"Our Cat Village lives off the mountains, and the village rules are upheld by me, the village chief. Such thieves must be severely punished!"

"From now on, anyone with information about these outsiders can come to me. If it's verified, I'm willing to give them a reward of one hundred yuan out of my own pocket!"

Village Chief Liu, relying on his position, twisted the truth with just a few words.

He even offered a bounty, ready to go all out, even if it meant giving away his entire fortune, to capture Ye Chen and his companions!

Seeing the villagers discussing it, Village Chief Liu urged Liu Zhen to hurry up.

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Why don't we hurry up and go check on the balding man's family, see if we can stop those guys!"

Liu Zhen's eyes lit up. Seeing his father's support, he immediately waved his hand.

The group quickly dispersed, sealing off the village. A dozen or so people followed Liu Zhen straight to the balding family's courtyard!

……

Five minutes later.

A large crowd gathered in front of the balding man's door.

Seeing the door tightly shut, Liu Zhen sneered and waved his hand at his men behind him.

"Just smash the door open!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three henchmen rushed forward and rammed into the courtyard gate.

The door frame shook under the immense force.

Soon, the door collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust!

But before Liu Zhen could even step into the courtyard, a flash of light suddenly appeared from the corner of the wall!

It turns out that Ye Chen's call for baldness before leaving was to set a trap.

As the door collapsed, the trap was triggered.

The straw doused with kerosene ignited instantly, and the fire spread rapidly!

In just a few breaths, the entire courtyard was engulfed in flames!

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Zhen's face darkened.

Ye Chen not only moved quickly, but also left behind a trap.

Now that's settled, the other party has left Cat Village, who knows where they went?

Are we really going to let these people go this time?

"Brother Liu, didn't your balding master break a leg before? He's still receiving treatment at the clinic."

"Since we can't find the balding group, why don't we ask his master? Maybe we can find out where they are!"

"right!"

Upon hearing his subordinate's suggestion, Liu Zhen's eyes lit up.

Three people were immediately arranged.

"Go and invite the balding master here!"
