Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Bang!"

At the critical moment, Zhao Liuzhi felt a heavy blow to the back of his head. He subconsciously turned around and glanced back, seeing a familiar face that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

"It's—you!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Liuzhi fainted.

Fan Xiaohui: "..."

Fan Laoshi: "..."

The father and daughter were both stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"Uncle, Zhao Liuzhi has fainted. You don't need to hold him anymore. Let go! And little Hui, you don't need to lie on the ground anymore, get up!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Laoshi and his daughter Fan Xiaohui finally came to their senses, looked closely at everything in front of them, and finally confirmed that everything that had just happened was real.

At the critical moment, Liu Bei descended like a god and knocked Zhao Liuzhi unconscious.

"Little...Little Bei!" Fan Laoshi exclaimed excitedly after regaining his senses.

"Yes. It's me! Tenth Uncle, let go!" Liu Bei smiled slightly.

"Oh, alright!" Old Fan quickly let go of her hand and helped his daughter, Fan Xiaohui, up.

"Slap!" Fan Xiaohui had just stood up when she slapped Zhao Liuzhi across the face.

"brute!"

"Alright, stop hitting him! Hitting him will dirty your hands!" Liu Bei grabbed Fan Xiaohui's hand in time to stop him.

"Brother Bei, what's wrong? What happened?"

Suddenly, Fan Ha'er ran in.

After dropping Li Dazhuang off at home, he returned and, hearing a noise inside, rushed in.

"Uh... Zhao Liuzhi is dizzy?"

After assessing the situation, Fan Ha'er was surprised.

"Ha'er, go find a rope!" Liu Bei ordered.

"Okay!"

Fan Ha'er quickly found a rope and tied Zhao Liuzhi up tightly.

"Ha'er, go get another basin of cold water! Let it chill him awake!" Liu Bei ordered again.

"Alright!" Fan Ha'er ran off to get some cold water, and returned shortly afterward.

"Splash him awake!"

"Pfft!" Fan Ha'er splashed cold water on Zhao Liuzhi.

Zhao Liuzhi woke up instantly.

When he saw Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er standing in front of him, he was startled and hurriedly struggled to run away.

They discovered that his arms and feet were tied with ropes, making it impossible for him to escape.

"Run! Keep running!" Fan Ha'er urged playfully.

Zhao Liuzhi: "..."

Panicked, he cried out, "Xiao Bei, Ha'er, I...I was wrong. I'm not human, I'm an animal. Please—"

"Shut him up!" Liu Bei snapped.

"Slap!" Fan Ha'er slapped Zhao Liuzhi across the face, and sure enough, Zhao Liuzhi obediently shut his mouth.

Liu Beidao said, "Last time you disobeyed me, so I cut you off. Haven't you learned your lesson?! You're here again tonight, causing trouble at Uncle Shi's house. Zhao Liuzhi, you really have a death wish!"

"No...don't kill me!" Upon hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhao Liuzhi's body trembled suddenly, and a chill ran down his back.

"Looks like you still want to live. Fine, tell me, what happened tonight? Remember, if you dare to tell a single lie, I'll make sure you don't live past tonight!" Liu Bei warned Zhao Liuzhi, enunciating each word clearly.

"I'll tell you everything!"

Zhao Liuzhi knew that Liu Bei was not joking.

Startled, he hurriedly told the truth.

"Who is that person?"

Liu Bei inquired.

"People in the underworld call him Brother Scorpion! True to his name, he's ruthless. Anyone who displeases him will be killed! He specializes in human trafficking!"

Where does he live?

"I don't know where he lives. But I have his contact information! Once I've got a girl, I'll contact him directly and we'll meet at the agreed-upon location for the transaction!"

How many of them are there?

"I'm not sure. But I saw at least seven!"

"Seven? That many?" Liu Bei rested his chin on his hand. "Are you sure?"

"Yes. Confirmed! If there's even a hint of falsehood, may I die a horrible death!"

"Alright. I'll trust you this once!" Liu Bei gave Fan Ha'er a look, and Fan Ha'er understood and quickly left.

A few minutes later, Fan Ha'er returned.

"Brother Bei, what Zhao Liuzhi said is true. The eight households next door have all been tied up. It must be like he said, they were first drugged with poison gas to knock them unconscious, then tied them up with ropes and locked them up!"

"So that's it! No wonder there was such a commotion, and no one next door reacted!" Old Fan's face darkened. "Zhao Liuzhi, you're worse than an animal. Xiao Bei, let me kill him. That way he won't harm anyone else in the future!"

"Uncle, you mustn't!" Liu Beichong shook his head at Fan Laoshi. "Murder is a crime. If you kill him, it might vent your anger, but you'll also be going to jail. What will happen to Xiaohui if you go in? She's not married yet!"

"I..." Upon hearing this, Old Fan fell silent, finally having to lower his fist and let out a long sigh, "Alas! I am powerless! Alas..."

"Uncle, you're not incompetent. On the contrary, I think you're great!"

Liu Beidao.

"Am I great?" Fan Laoshi thought he had misheard. He couldn't even protect his own daughter just now, so how could he be great?

"Brother Bei is right. Dad, you are truly great! In my heart, you are the greatest person in the world!" Fan Xiaohui said, hugging her father.

"So I really am great!" Old Fan was moved to tears.

He felt it was all worth it to be praised by his daughter.

"Great! Great! I'm great! I'm great!"

"Brother Bei, what should we do with Zhao Liuzhi?" Fan Ha'er asked the most crucial question.

"You promised you wouldn't kill me? Are you going back on your word?" Upon hearing Ha'er's words, Zhao Liuzhi panicked and became frightened.

"I didn't say I was going to kill you!" Liu Bei frowned. "Ha'er, go wake Dazhuang up and tell him to come over here right now!"

"Okay!"

Fan Ha'er went straight to Li Dazhuang's house.

"Snoring~"

Li Dazhuang had drunk too much and was sleeping soundly, snoring loudly like thunder.

"Dazhuang, Dazhuang!"

Fan Ha'er called out a few times.

"Stop fooling around, keep drinking!"

"You'd better drink your own piss!" Seeing Li Dazhuang shouting about drinking even in his sleep, Fan Ha'er was speechless for a moment, then suddenly slapped his own fat buttocks. "That's it! I've got it. Use cold water! Yes, cold water!"

"Pfft~"

A moment later, Fan Ha'er poured a basin of cold water on Li Dazhuang.

"Achoo~"

Soon, Li Dazhuang was awakened by the cold water and immediately shivered.

"Who...who?" Li Dazhuang asked groggily.

"I am Ha'er!"

"Ha'er?" Li Dazhuang woke up and stared blankly at Fan Ha'er. "Ha'er, what time is it? Where are we?"

"Your home!"

"My home?" Li Dazhuang looked around and realized it really was his home.

"Come with me to Xiaohui's house! Brother Bei is waiting for you there!"

"Who? Little Hui?" Upon hearing this, Li Dazhuang froze, scratching his head. "Ha...ha, what are you doing going to Little Hui's house so late at night? You can't make me do something wrong or illegal!"

"You asshole! I already told you, Brother Bei is waiting for you at Sister Xiao Hui's house. What are you thinking? Am I stupid? Are you stupider than me? Uh, no, you're not stupider than me, you're even stupider than me. Yes, you're definitely stupider than me."

Li Dazhuang: "..."

Is he even dumber than an idiot?

Hey!

"Let's go. You'll regret it if we're late!"

"Regret? What would I regret? Could it be...?"
