Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"As for your old man—"

Zhao Liuzhi narrowed his eyes. "He's getting on in years. Half his body is about to be buried. Living is a waste of food. It's better for him to die."

"What? Six-Finger Brother, what... what do you mean?" Fan Xiaohui didn't quite understand.

"It means I'm sending him on his way!!!"

Zhao Liuzhi offered an explanation.

"Ah? No...no!" Fan Xiaohui grabbed Zhao Liuzhi's trouser leg, preventing him from moving. "I...I'm willing to go with you. I really am willing to go with you. Please don't kill my father, please don't kill my father!"

"He raised me all by himself, and he hasn't even enjoyed a single day of happiness. Please, please don't kill him! I beg you!"

As she pleaded, Fan Xiaohui burst into tears.

Looking at Fan Xiaohui crying at his feet, Zhao Liuzhi sneered.

"I'm sorry, I'm involved in human trafficking. Your father has seen my face clearly. If I don't kill him, he'll report me to the police. Then I'll go to jail. For your safety, it's better if your father is dead. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease!"

"Then...then I can have my dad swear an oath. Yes, have him swear an oath, that should be fine, right?"

Fan Xiaohui immediately came up with an excuse.

"Swear an oath? Haha..." Zhao Liuzhi's laughter was even more chilling. "If oaths were effective, what would be the point of laws? I only believe the dead can keep secrets! Get the hell out of my way! I'm going to kill that old bastard!"

"No, you can't!"

"Get out of my way! If you don't get out of my way, I'll punch you!"

"You can beat me to death, but I won't let you kill my father!"

"Do you really want to die?"

"Yes, even if I die, I won't let you kill my father!"

"You're really asking for death!!!"

Seeing his daughter begging Zhao Liuzhi like a dog for his sake, Old Fan's eyes instantly filled with tears.

His wife left early.

To raise his eldest daughter, he did not remarry, acting as both father and mother to her.

I just hope my daughter grows up safely and peacefully, and that I can personally hand her over to the man who will cherish her for the rest of her life.

But he never expected that his son-in-law wouldn't live to see him.

A thief has entered the house.

Moreover, it was Zhao Liuzhi from the same village.

To earn a living, he had to kidnap and sell his eldest daughter, whom he had raised for nearly twenty years.

If Zhao Liuzhi were to actually abduct and sell him, all of his nearly twenty years of effort would have been in vain.

A hundred years from now, how will he face his wife in the afterlife?

Do not!

Absolutely not!

My daughter can't be harmed.

Even if it costs him his old bones, he will protect his daughter today.

"No need to beg him!"

Fan Laoshi suddenly let out a roar.

"father!"

"Um?"

Zhao Liuzhi and Fan Xiaohui looked over at the same time.

But Fan Laoshi, who was seriously injured, still had a few drops of blood left on the corner of his mouth that had not completely dried, yet he still managed to stand up.

"Father, you—"

"Daughter, don't be afraid! Daddy's here. Tonight, I absolutely won't let that beast take you away!"

After standing up, Fan Laoshi swayed slightly.

"Wow! I didn't expect that. You old codger, even injured like this, you can still stand up! Not bad, very good!"

Zhao Liuzhi sneered a few times, "So what? Even when you weren't injured, I could still severely injure you. Now that you're seriously injured, I can hurt you even more! No, I should say kill you!"

"Dad, run! Don't worry about me!"

Fan Xiaohui immediately reminded her.

"Trying to run?" Zhao Liuzhi's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Did you even ask me?"

"Fan Xiaohui, you're not letting go, are you? Fine. Tonight, I'll let you see for yourself just how horribly your father died!"

As he spoke, Zhao Liu pointed towards Fan Laoshi.

Fan Xiaohui tried her best to hug his legs to stop him, but it was no use.

"Dad, run! Run!"

While stopping Zhao Liuzhi, she also reminded Fan Laoshi.

However, Fan Laoshi stood there motionless as if he hadn't heard anything.

Seeing that Fan Laoshi remained unmoved, Fan Xiaohui became anxious.

"Dad, what are you standing there for? I can't stop him for long. Run! It'll be too late if you don't run now!"

But as soon as these words were spoken,

Fan Laoshi still didn't run away.

On the contrary, it stood even more steadily.

He looked deeply at his daughter, Fan Xiaohui.

It's as if I can see the year, month, day, night, hour, minute, and second when my daughter was born.

When my daughter was born, her skin was all wrinkled; she wasn't nearly as beautiful as she is now.

But as a new father, he not only didn't dislike it, but was actually very happy.

I named my daughter Xiaohui in front of my wife.

I hope my daughter will grow up to be a wise girl.

At the same time, I also hope that my daughter will grow up to be more and more beautiful.

From then on, he accompanied his daughter as she grew up.

His daughter was crying, and he was in a bad mood.

His daughter's smile made him happy too.

In short, his feelings and his daughter's feelings were intertwined and inseparable.

In the blink of an eye, my daughter has grown into a young lady.

Time flies so fast.

Time flew by so quickly that he was completely unaware of it. When he finally realized it, he discovered that he had grown old.

However, although he is getting old...

But he was content to see his life continue in his daughter, radiating youthful vigor.

But tonight,

His life was about to be interrupted.

How could he sit idly by and wait for his death?

"My daughter! If there is an afterlife, I still want to be your father! I hope you won't look down on me for being incompetent then!"

"Dad...Dad, what are you doing? Don't do anything foolish! Listen to me, run, run! If you run, everything will be alright!!!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiaohui's heart sank, sensing that something bad was about to happen, and she instinctively reminded him again.

however--

Fan Laoshi not only did not run away,

Instead, he laughed.

That wrinkled face was beaming with a bright smile.

It looks like a plum blossom blooming in winter.

Although winter snow is bitterly cold,

Only the plum blossom, with its proud spirit and fearlessness of the severe cold, still blooms alone in the snowy season, displaying the splendor of life.

"Zhao-Six-Fingers! I'll take you down with me!!!"

As he spoke, Fan Laoshi lunged at Zhao Liuzhi.

He was clearly seriously injured.

He was clearly a very old man,

He could have simply ignored his daughter and run away on his own.

But he didn't do that.

Instead, he fearlessly lunged at Zhao Liuzhi to save his daughter.

For one purpose only:

They rescued his daughter.

Because his daughter is not only a continuation of his life.

It is the fruit of his and his wife's love in this world.

With her there, it's as if he and his wife are both there at the same time.

He couldn't let anything happen to his daughter.

I'd rather die than let my daughter die.

"Daughter, let's be father and daughter again in the next life!!! Haha..."

Amidst the laughter,

Fan Laoshi hugged Zhao Liuzhi.

Although he was seriously injured,

Half of his body was buried in the ground.

But those two strong arms still held Zhao Liuzhi tightly, like a tight hoop binding him, no matter how much Zhao Liuzhi struggled, it was useless.

"Damn it! You old bastard, you're really asking for trouble!"

"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Zhao Liuzhi's head suddenly slammed into Fan Laoshi's forehead.

"Bang!"

For a moment, Old Fan felt dizzy and lightheaded.

"Haha, old man, you're old, so be it! You want to die with me? Dream on! Now it's my turn!"

"Go to hell! Hahaha..."
