Six thousand eight hundred yuan, but that bastard Huang Quan actually quoted twelve thousand eight hundred!

"Huang Quan, you're so heartless! You swallowed half of it!"

"No, you have to give me my money back!"

"I'm not installing it anymore! I'm not installing it anymore! Give me my money back!"

……

Immediately, everyone roared in anger.

At this time of year, young people are not at home; it's mostly elderly people.

We follow the village's policies; whatever the higher-ups say goes.

I never expected this guy to be so ruthless!

Chen Yi hung up the phone and looked at Huang Quan with narrowed eyes.

Huang Quan's face was ashen, and he looked at Chen Yi with a rage that seemed to engulf him.

"Kid, who did you just ask to impersonate Mayor Yang and spread rumors? Let me tell you, you'll have to bear all the consequences yourself!"

After saying that, he stood up and stormed off.

Chen Yi naturally looked down on Huang Quan, but he was right. It would be really tough for his parents to be targeted by them while he was away from home.

He needs to resolve this completely before he can leave.

He asked the crowd, "Who is this person?"

"The son of village chief Huang Fei."

"He's contracted out many projects in the village, making a fortune. Now he's even pocketing gas installation fees. He's worse than an animal!"

"I heard his family has very strong connections up there. Xiao Yi, you've offended Huang Quan, so be careful."

……

Zhang Guangying said worriedly, "Xiao Yi, this Huang Quan is a smiling tiger. Don't be fooled by his smiling face; he's actually petty and vengeful. We need to be careful."

Chen Yi patted his mother on the shoulder and said calmly, "Mom, don't worry, these people are nothing in front of your son. I'll handle it."

The neighbors repeatedly warned Chen Yi to be careful, and then gradually dispersed.

It got dark, and the family went inside, ate dinner, and sat in the main room watching TV.

Aunt Zhang Guangbi said, "Xiao Yi, you are very knowledgeable. I have something I would like to ask you to consider."

"Auntie, what do you say?" Chen Yi said immediately.

Zhang Guangbi said, "Your younger brother, Xiao Guang, has a girlfriend."

"I've seen her. She's a college student, quite pretty. Xiao Guang is so lucky."

Chen Yi said.

"Why!"

Zhang Guangbi sighed, "I always feel uneasy."

"What's wrong?" Chen Yi asked.

Zhang Guangbi said, "That girl seems quite reliable; she doesn't want a car, a house, or a dowry."

"Isn't this great? Girls like this are rare these days," Chen Yi said.

Zhang Guangbi shook his head.

"Xiao Guang has spent nearly 200,000 yuan in the three months he's been with her."

"What did you say?" Chen Yi asked in disbelief.

Zhang Guangbi looked dejected.

"Previously, she said that her father broke his leg while building a house and asked Xiaoguang for fifty or sixty thousand yuan."

Less than a month later, they said her mother had broken her leg, and we gave them another 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.

Then it was her brother's business again, this and that, it's almost 200,000 yuan already. I thought, what a coincidence!

Chen Yi also sensed something was amiss and asked, "Didn't Xiao Guang go to her house to check on her?"

"no."

Zhang Guangbi shook his head, "Every time I say I'm going, something always comes up and I get delayed at the last minute."

Chen Yi: "Where is she from?"

"From Yueshan County." Zhang Guangbi looked at Chen Yi with a worried expression. "Xiao Yi, do you think there might be any problems?"

Yueshan County is a county under the jurisdiction of Jiangning City.

Chen Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'll have someone check her background."

He then asked his aunt to get the girl's ID number from Jiang Guang, and then called Yang Zhaoyong to check on the woman's situation.

After hanging up the phone, he said to Zhang Guangbi, "Don't worry, Auntie, my friend will find her information soon. We'll see how to handle it then."

"Xiao Yi, thank you so much."

Zhang Guangbi held Chen Yi's hand and said, "This little Guang is such a worry."

"It's alright, don't be afraid," Chen Yi comforted him.

The family chatted until very late before going to sleep.

……

The morgue at Longgang County Hospital.

A short, stout middle-aged man stared at the two corpses on the morgue with bloodshot eyes.

"Why is Song'er like this? What exactly happened?"

He let out a few hissing sounds.

He was Luo Song's father, Luo Zheng. He was out of town discussing a business deal when he suddenly learned of his son's sudden death and rushed back home.

What they found was their son's corpse.

This was like a bolt from the blue for him!

"President Luo..."

The young men who were with Luo Song quickly recounted what had happened at noon.

The doctor standing nearby said, "According to the examination, both your son and niece died from ruptured hearts."

"A ruptured heart? How could my heart rupture out of nowhere!" Luo Zheng said in grief and indignation.

"President Luo!"

At this moment, an old man dressed in exotic clothing spoke up.

"Your son did not die a natural death, but his heart was shattered by some secret method."

"What?"

Luo Zheng looked at the old man, "Master Yang, is this really true?"

Master Yang nodded: "I've seen a lot, there's absolutely no falsehood in this."

"Damn it! Who killed my son? I'll make their whole family pay with their lives!"

Luo clenched his fists, his grief and indignation overwhelming.

"President Luo!"

Several young men hurriedly said, "It must be related to Zhang Yan and those girls."

Ok?

Luo Zheng looked at the young man.

The young man quickly explained Zhang Yan's situation.

Luo Zheng's eyes flashed with intense killing intent as he said to his subordinates, "Go and investigate! Find out who those bastards and that kid are! I want them to pay a bloody price."

He then turned to Master Yang and said, "The other side may have a master; I will need Master Yang's help then."

"It's nothing."

Master Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Find the person I asked you to find, and I will avenge you."

……

Chen Yi got up early the next morning.

First, he chopped up a huge pile of firewood, and then he repaired all the wiring and furniture in the house.

They had been busy for several hours, which made Chen Jianguo and his wife feel both distressed and gratified.

In the morning, uncles, aunts, and other relatives came one after another to seek medical treatment.

Chen Yi treated each patient one by one, and many long-standing ailments were cured instantly. The uncles, aunts, and other relatives were overjoyed and praised Xiao Yi for his promising future.

Chen Jianguo sat to the side smoking, grinning from ear to ear.

The day passed quickly. On Monday morning, Chen Yi rode his bicycle to the county town to pick up Xu Linwei.

It was already past ten o'clock when they arrived in the county town. Xu Linwei called and said that she had arrived in Longgang County and was now going to inspect a project with several key members of the company. She asked Chen Yi if he wanted to come along.

Chen Yi didn't like these activities, so Xu Linwei told him to go around and explore on his own, and then call him back after he was done.

Chen Yi rode his bicycle to the riverbank and stood on the embankment smoking.

"Chen Yi?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out from behind.

Chen Yi turned around and saw a young man standing behind him.

The young man, dressed in a fine suit, was 1.78 meters tall and slightly overweight, and was looking at me with a surprised expression.

"Zhao Chun!"

After looking Chen Yi over, he finally recognized him.

This young man was Zhao Chun, his high school classmate. Back then, the two of them shared a bed and pants for three years.

Later, they went their separate ways and gradually lost contact.

The only problem is that he was as skinny as a bamboo pole back then, but he's gained weight now.

"It's so good that you still remember me!"

Zhao Chun was overjoyed and hugged Chen Yi tightly.

Good brothers are always exceptionally warm to each other. Chen Yi said, "Judging from your appearance, you've made it big!"

Zhao Chun smiled and said, "No, I just run a small business in Longgang. You see..."

He pointed to a construction site on the opposite bank of the river.

"I contracted to develop all of this, and it will be the largest leisure center in Longgang County."

With a population of 500,000, the largest leisure center in Longgang County is a highly profitable business.

Chen Yi patted Zhao Chun on the shoulder and said, "You're too modest, kid. This isn't a small business; you can't get it for less than tens of millions."

He knew that Zhao Chun's family was in business, but they weren't big businessmen.

This guy must have made a lot of money over the years, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to take on such a big project.

Zhao Chun said, "My office is right here. Come and sit for a while."

"it is good."

Chen Yi readily agreed.

I rode my motorcycle to a temporary three-story office building and parked it at the entrance.

Zhao Chun parked the car, and the two went up to the third floor.

In a bright and spacious office, Zhao Chun invited Chen Yi to sit down and poured him tea.

The two chatted about everyday things, and Zhao Chun kept looking Chen Yi up and down, which puzzled Chen Yi.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Zhao Chun's expression turned serious: "Brother, there are some things I'm not sure if I should ask."

Chen Yi readily agreed, "We're brothers, why are you being so polite?"

Zhao Chun said, "Your business was very successful a couple of years ago; you were quite a celebrity among your classmates in Longgang."

Chen Yi knew about this, but it was all in the past.

He laughed and said, "It's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."

Zhao Chun leaned forward and said solemnly, "But there have been some unpleasant rumors circulating lately."

"What rumor?"

Zhao Chun said, "They said your business failed last year, and you couldn't handle the blow, so you had some mental problems, but you look perfectly fine to me."

I go!

Chen Yi was utterly speechless!

"Who's so bored as to spread these rumors? Do I look like I have mental problems?"

No secrets stay hidden forever. Although Chen Yi didn't publicize it, his deeds still circulated among his classmates back home.

Who told him to be a celebrity during his school days and to quickly earn his first pot of gold after entering the workforce?

No wonder Zhao Chun kept looking him over.

Zhao Chun shook his head repeatedly: "You seem perfectly normal to me. I only heard it from other classmates, and it made me sad all night. May these gossipers never have a tongue in their next life."

"Whose beat-up motorcycle is this? Make him move it!"

Just then, an arrogant voice came from downstairs.

Zhao Chun hurriedly went to the window to look, and Chen Yi followed.

Chen Yi's gaze suddenly narrowed.

But then they saw a man and a woman standing at the entrance of the office building.

The woman was wearing a pale yellow dress, and her long, straight black hair was tied back with a hair clip.

She was petite with delicate features, fair and smooth skin, and clear eyes that held a hint of sadness.

The man was of medium build and quite overweight; he was arguing with the security guard.

"This is..." Chen Yi exclaimed in surprise.

"By the way, Leng Yanning and Xie Peng, they got together, didn't you expect that?"

Zhao Chun looked at Chen Yi with a slight smile, his eyes seemingly holding a deeper meaning.
