Reborn as a capitalist's young master in the 1970s, he starts his life by being blocked at the

"Jianming, you're finally back. I saw that all the other educated youth had returned to the city, and I was looking around for you but you didn't come back. I thought something had happened to you."

"Something came up on the way and I was delayed. Brother, it's been a long time."

Chen Jianming spoke calmly and appeared shy, but inwardly he was sneering.

He didn't believe that this bastard had any good intentions; he was probably up to no good.

"You've gotten even stronger in the years since I last saw you."

Chen Weiguo patted him on the shoulder, looking heartbroken: "Jianming, you've suffered so much in the countryside all these years. Your uncle and I have been trying to find a way to transfer you back to the city. Unfortunately, the policy doesn't allow it, and we can't help you at all."

As he spoke, he deliberately sighed, "Your uncle went to the countryside to visit you last time, and he got into a car accident on his way back. He's gone missing, and we still don't know if he's alive or dead. Our whole family is frantic with worry."

As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Chen Jianming's expression, subtly probing his intentions.

Chen Jianming feigned surprise: "Your uncle has gone missing?"

These two are truly father and son; they're both incredibly good actors. Did Chen Dajun go to the countryside just to see him?

Running that far, it's clear she's after his ancestral jade pendant.

They even arranged a denunciation meeting and beat him half to death.

If he hadn't struck first, he probably would have been killed by Chen Dajun in that remote mountain valley.

"This kid doesn't seem to be acting strangely. He probably doesn't know that I'm the one preventing him from returning to the city."

Chen Weiguo pondered for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Don't you know? Your uncle went to see you last time and never came back."

He found it strange when he talked about it. How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly disappear into thin air?

Chen Jianming shook his head, looking bewildered: "I've always been guarding the mountain, where information is scarce, and I've never heard of these things. There are many wild animals in the mountains, not to mention bandits and outlaws. I wonder if my uncle has encountered some misfortune."

It's just acting, right? Anyone can do that.

Since the other party wants to act, he will cooperate and act accordingly.

"Sigh, let's not talk about these sad things."

Chen Weiguo pretended to wipe away his tears, then changed the subject: "Now that you're back, your uncle can finally rest in peace."

He got straight to the point: "Brother, I came back this time to ask about our old house and the factory my parents left behind. I'd like to go back to the old house to stay first."

"Jianming, you know your family's situation is quite complicated. These matters are still under review by higher authorities, and it won't be easy to resolve in a short time."

Chen Weiguo's eyes darted around, and he said with difficulty, "How about this, I'll get you a certificate first, and you can stay at a nearby guesthouse for a few days. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news. I'll ask around, it should be faster."

"Alright, thank you then, brother." Chen Jianming feigned gratitude.

He knew perfectly well that this guy was definitely up to no good.

He didn't bother asking about anything else, since asking would only mean watching Chen Weiguo put on a show.

"We're family, no need for formalities! You must be tired after such a long train ride. I've arranged a guesthouse for you in advance; it's just two blocks from the neighborhood office, clean and hygienic. Go and rest for a bit. When you get there, just tell me your name, and I'll have a room reserved for you."

Chen Weiguo waved his hand, smiling kindly, and handed over a certificate.

"Okay, I'll go to the guesthouse first. Brother, if you have any news, remember to let me know."

After taking the paper certificate, he pretended to be naive and turned to leave the street office.

Watching his retreating figure, Chen Weiguo's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a sinister look.

"Silly boy, you really think I'm being kind and helping you settle down? Notify me? Save that for your next life. This old house can only be mine, and no one can take it away."

He chuckled softly, clearly pleased with himself.

That guesthouse was already in disrepair and had old wiring.

If a fire breaks out at night and a young educated youth who has just returned to the city dies unexpectedly, no one will suspect him.

Then no one will be in the way, and the old house and all the family property will belong to him alone.

Thinking about the family business that was about to be his, he couldn't help but hum a little tune, his heart filled with joy.

...

After leaving the subdistrict office, Chen Jianming did not go to the deadly guesthouse arranged by Chen Weiguo.

I turned around and found a nearby state-run department store, where I bought a whole bunch of snacks and pastries that I could never find in the village.

"No? Comrade, are you here to buy supplies?"

He left Daoxiangcun amidst the utterly shocked gaze of the sales clerk.

While leisurely eating glutinous rice balls, I walked into a quiet alley near the street office and quietly waited.

A gentleman doesn't leave a grudge unavenged!

Back then, Chen Dajun framed his parents and seized their family property, and Chen Weiguo was heavily involved in the affair.

Now they're deliberately blocking him from returning to the city, clearly trying to seize his old house.

He still remembers the tragic state of his parents before they passed away.

With both old and new grudges combined, he didn't want the other person to live a single moment longer.

I waited from afternoon until evening, and it was already dark when the office staff gradually left for the day.

Chen Jianming was almost asleep when he finally saw Chen Weiguo slowly walk out of the office.

"They're finally out!" He quickly chased after them.

Chen Weiguo stood with his hands behind his back, looking smug and humming a little tune.

Thinking of the old house and those properties that would one day belong to him, he couldn't contain his joy and was completely unaware of the danger that was approaching.

"Still want to go back to the old house? Just wait to be burned alive! Everything you have will be mine from now on!"

Chen Weiguo, looking smug, walked into a dimly lit alley without realizing it.

"Why is the streetlight broken?" he frowned.

He often takes this road to and from get off work, and it's always been lit by streetlights, but today it's unusually dark, and he's the only person in the alley.

"Big brother, you seem to be in a good mood!"

Chen Jianming followed him all the way before stepping forward and patting him on the shoulder.

"Who? Ah! What are you doing here!"

Chen Weiguo was lost in thought when he turned around and was startled.

"Of course I'm waiting for you."

Chen Jianming's lips curled up, and he suddenly threw a punch at the other party. Before the other party could react, he directly put the punch into his spatial storage.

Even back in the mountains, the space was already capable of collecting living creatures.

"Where is this place?"

In the dimly lit space, Chen Weiguo clutched his nose in pain, his face covered in blood; the punch had knocked his nose crooked.

When he saw lions, tigers, and other ferocious beasts lurking around him, his hair stood on end, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Where am I? What did you do to me?!"

Chen Weiguo was so frightened that he became incoherent, backing away repeatedly until his pants were wet. His face looked like he had seen a ghost, and all his previous smugness was gone.

"Look at how pathetic you are."

Chen Jianming glanced at it with disdain.

With a thought, the lions, tigers, and other ferocious beasts in the space roared and pounced instantly!

These beasts, which had been suppressed in the space for so long, were now exceptionally ferocious.

"Ah—Help!"

Chen Weiguo's agonizing screams echoed throughout the space.

He would never know where he was.

"Go see your father!"

He would never show mercy to his enemies.
