Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Half an hour later,

Liu Bei was about to go out for a walk.

Li Dazhuang suddenly ran over.

"Brother Bei, something's happened!"

Li Dazhuang, still catching his breath and confused, explained, "Fan Xibei...he..."

"What happened to Fan Xibei? Did he run away?" Liu Bei raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't run... but... it's pretty much the same as running!"

"What do you mean? Speak slowly, don't rush! Wanqiu, get some well water for Dazhuang to drink!" Liu Bei shouted into the courtyard.

A moment later, Lin Wanqiu brought over a bowl of well water. "Brother Dazhuang, drink up. Slowly!"

"Gurgle~ gurgle~"

Li Dazhuang finished his drink in one gulp and said, "It's like this. That guy Fan Xibei holds a grudge against you and secretly swore that once he's free, he'll find a chance to raze your new house to the ground. And...and..."

"What else? Speak!" Liu Bei's face darkened.

"And... we still have to deal with the sisters-in-law!" Li Dazhuang stammered as he finished speaking.

"You're asking for it!" Sure enough, Liu Bei's face turned black upon hearing this.

Lin Wanqiu's expression was also very displeased.

"Go on!" Liu Bei urged.

"Then, Fan Dayong and his brother happened to pass by and overheard what he said. They were furious. In a fit of rage, they cut off... his manhood."

"Huh? Cut...cut it off?"

Lin Wanqiu's mouth dropped open in surprise.

"Good job!" Liu Bei smiled.

"And there's more!" Li Dazhuang continued, "Right now, Brother Dayong called a dog over and ate it!"

"Huh? You...you ate it?"

Lin Wanqiu covered her eyes in astonishment, imagining a scene unfolding before her eyes.

"How pitiful!"

"Haha~" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Great food! Brother Dayong did a fantastic job! Now, what happened next?"

"Later, the two brothers, Dayong and Fan Xibei, passed away. Fan Xibei was screaming in pain, and blood was flowing from his body. When someone in the village found him, they were worried he would die, so they took him to the nearest veterinary station!"

"What? Sent...sent to the veterinary station?" Lin Wanqiu's pupils shrank slightly, in disbelief.

"Yes. It's been sent to the veterinary station!" Li Dazhuang nodded.

"Why not send it to the health center?" Liu Bei was a little confused.

"It's said that Fan Xibei was in so much pain that he couldn't bear it any longer. Since the veterinary station was right at the town's entrance, he figured that both a veterinarian and a clinic were medical facilities, so there wasn't much difference. He had the villagers who brought him there take him to the veterinary station for treatment!"

Lin Wanqiu: "..."

His mouth was agape, unsure of what to say.

Liu Bei's mouth also opened slightly.

What a talent!

Fan Xibei is a real talent.

"And then? What happened?"

"Dead!" Li Dazhuang replied.

"What? Dead...dead?" Lin Wanqiu covered her gaping mouth.

"Yes. Dead!" Li Dazhuang nodded. "One villager realized things had gotten serious. So he left another villager at the veterinary station and ran back to the village to tell the village secretary's family about Fan Xibei's death. Upon learning of the commotion, the Fan brothers, Dayong and Daqiang, panicked and fled deep into the Da Liu Mountains to escape!"

"Huh? It ran into the mountains?" Lin Wanqiu was completely astonished. "Mount Da Liu is so big, where could it possibly hide?"

"Where else could we hide? Of course, over Sanlipo!" Li Dazhuang replied casually.

"San...Sanlipo? What's the difference between that and suicide?" Lin Wanqiu was very worried.

After all, hunting is limited to the Three Mile Slope, a rule passed down from the older generation.

If you step in easily, your chances of surviving are slim.

"What did the village party secretary say?" Liu Bei asked calmly.

"Of course the village secretary is very anxious! He's worried the police will go into the mountains to look for Brother Dayong! He specifically came to me and asked me to ask you what to do about this!"

"This involves a death..."

Lin Wanqiu frowned and looked at Liu Bei with some worry.

If not handled properly, it might even drag Liu Bei into it.

"Liu Bei, you—"

"I didn't hear anything! The village secretary didn't hear anything either, and he didn't see anything. Of course, the village secretary can also choose to know and confess!" Liu Bei waved his hand.

"Huh?" Li Dazhuang was stunned, thinking he had misheard. "Brother Bei, what do you mean by that?"

"Oh, right, there are two more things I need to tell the village secretary. First, tell him to get everyone on the same page. Second, identify the mastermind and the second mastermind," Liu Bei added.

"Huh?" Li Dazhuang still didn't quite understand.

But Lin Wanqiu understood.

"Brother Dazhuang, just go back and tell the village secretary what Liu Bei said! The village secretary will know what to do after hearing it!" Lin Wanqiu advised.

"Oh...is that so? Okay. I'll go now!" Li Dazhuang still didn't quite understand, scratched the back of his head, and quickly left.

"Liu Bei, what about Director Zhou—"

"I don't know anything. Even if Director Zhou comes, it won't make a difference. What do you think?"

"..."

"Come on, back to the yard, and close the gate!"

"Okay, sure!"

……

A few minutes later,

Li Dazhuang ran to the home of village party secretary Fan Sanyuan.

As soon as he reached the gate, he heard a woman crying in the courtyard.

He glanced at her and saw that the woman crying was none other than Wen Caixia, the wife of village secretary Fan Sanyuan.

Village Party Secretary Fan Sanyuan was squatting on the ground, smoking Hongtashan cigarettes continuously, with a large pile of cigarette butts on the ground.

Besides the couple, there were seven or eight other people.

They were all relatives of the village party secretary.

Each of them had a worried expression on their face, clearly not knowing what to do.

"Secretary, I'm back!"

Li Dazhuang ran into the yard.

"It's Dazhuang! You're finally back!"

The village secretary suddenly stood up, was the first to run over, pulled out a Hongtashan cigarette and handed it to Li Dazhuang, eagerly asking, "What did Xiao Bei say?"

"Brother Bei's exact words were, 'You didn't hear anything, you didn't see anything, you can choose to confess voluntarily.' Oh, right, there were two other sentences: one was about making sure the Party Secretary gave a unified story, and the other was about a mastermind and a co-mastermind, but I didn't understand them!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the courtyard was stunned, their eyebrows immediately furrowing into high brows.

Especially Wen Caixia, she stopped crying now.

She rushed over, shouting, "What? Did Liu Bei really tell you that?"

"Yes!" Li Dazhuang nodded.

"You bastard Liu Bei. You're a real piece of work. My son had that bitch Fan Xibei cut off her arm because of him. And what does he do? Not only does he not offer any advice, but he also claims he didn't hear or see anything? What's worse, he wants us to confess? Dayong and Daqiang are our sons, you know. What kind of parents are we if we confess? Has Liu Bei eaten his conscience?"

"No way! I'm going to find him!"

"My sons have all gone into hiding in the mountains. He has to take responsibility for this!"

"Otherwise, I'll never let that Liu family off the hook!"

"As long as my son is not safe, I will make sure that the Liu family never has a moment's peace!"

Pushing Li Dazhuang aside, Wen Caixia angrily turned and ran out of the yard.

She had only taken two steps when Fan Sanyuan stopped her.

"Come back! Don't go!"

"What do you mean, sir?" Wen Caixia didn't quite understand.

"It's not just you who can't go. None of you—" Fan Sanyuan pointed to the relatives in the courtyard, "neither of you should cause trouble for the Liu family!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Wen Caixia's face fell. "Fan Sanyuan, are you out of your mind? Those who hid in the mountains are all your own sons. Don't you care about their lives?"

"Yes, brother-in-law. Dayong and Daqiang aren't married yet. They haven't left behind any offspring. If you don't take care of them, and something happens to them, your lineage will end. How will you face your ancestors then?"
