Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Two minutes passed, and the lake remained still.

Ten minutes passed in a flash, and there was still no movement on the lake.

Fan Sanyuan and his group became even more anxious.

At this time,

Under the lake.

After Liu Bei sank underwater, many red dots appeared in his vision.

One of the red dots was flashing the most intensely.

Based on experience, the more intense the flashing, the higher the value of the prey.

"The water monkey must be there!"

Liu Bei looked at Li Dazhuang and Tan Si behind him, "Come with me!"

"Okay, Brother Bei!"

Li Dazhuang and Tan Si nodded and quickly followed.

About three minutes later,

Liu Bei finally saw the place where the red dot was flashing.

It was a nest made of a mixture of stones and mud.

"It really is this!"

Liu Bei's eyes lit up.

"Sizzle~"

Just then, an unpleasant sound suddenly came from the nest.

"Whoosh~"

The next moment, a creature emerged from the nest.

It looks very similar to a monkey.

"It's a water ghost!"

Li Dazhuang and Tan Si exclaimed in unison.

"Hmm. It's a water ghost! Wei Hua's child must be in its lair. I'll drag the water ghost away later. Da Zhuang, Tan Si, you two take the opportunity to sneak around and infiltrate its lair to rescue Wei Hua's child!"

"Brother Bei, that's a water ghost! Can you handle it all by yourself?" Li Dazhuang and Tan Si asked with some concern.

"Don't worry. I'm confident!"

"Well... alright then!" Upon hearing this, Li Dazhuang and Tan Si nodded.

"Sizzle~"

Suddenly, the water ghost bared its teeth and roared at Liu Bei and the other two, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, clearly warning them not to approach and to leave quickly.

However, the next moment, Liu Bei fearlessly stepped forward.

……

At the same time, the Liu family...

Lin Wanqiu pulled Panpan home and stepped into the courtyard.

"Huh? Why are only the two of you back? Where's Xiao Bei? Where did she go?"

Looking at Lin Wanqiu and Panpan, Zhao Da'e was somewhat puzzled.

"Mother, Ha'er said that Fan Weihua's child went swimming in the lake and encountered a water ghost, who pulled him into the water. The village secretary said he's a good swimmer, so he called him over to help find the child!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Da'e's expression suddenly changed.

"Clang!"

The spatula in her hand fell to the ground and rolled a long way before Zhao Da'e came to her senses. Pointing at Lin Wanqiu, she said, "Wanqiu, Wanqiu, how could you be so foolish? That's a water ghost! It eats people! Why didn't you stop it? What if something had happened to it? Sigh!"

Shaking her head, Zhao Da'e immediately rushed out of the courtyard.

"Mother, you—"

Before Lin Wanqiu could finish speaking, Zhao Chunyan also caught up.

As Zhao Chunyan passed by Lin Wanqiu, she paused deliberately and said:

"Lin Wanqiu, you better pray he's alright. Otherwise, I'll never forgive you! Humph!!!"

After saying that, Zhao Chunyan chased after her, calling out as she followed Zhao Da'e:

"Mother, wait for me. I'll go with you!"

"What...what should we do!" Su Yuehe scratched her head anxiously. After scratching it a few times, she also chased after him. As she passed Lin Wanqiu, she said, "Sister Wanqiu, let's go check on him together. He really can't be hurt!"

Soon, Su Yuehe also left the courtyard.

Seeing their grandmother and two mothers run out of the yard, Liu Nian and Liu Bao, the siblings, were stunned for a moment, then walked up to Lin Wanqiu together.

One of them grabbed Lin Wanqiu's arm, looked up at her, and said, "Auntie, we also want to see Dad. Can you take us to the lakeside?"

Lin Wanqiu: "..."

"Mom, go ahead. Dad really can't get hurt!" Panpan said.

Lin Wanqiu: "..."

At this moment, she realized that she had made a mistake.

I really shouldn't have agreed to let Liu Bei go to rescue people.

Now look what's happened, the whole family is worried.

Ugh!

"Okay. Let's go find Dad! Let's go!"

"Yes. Looking for Daddy!"

"Looking for Daddy!"

……

After ten minutes,

Zhao Da'e was the first to run to the lakeside.

"Sister-in-law Da'e is here!"

"The swallows have arrived too!"

"Yuehe, you've arrived too!"

……

Upon seeing Zhao Da'e and her two companions appear, the villagers automatically made way for them and greeted them.

Zhao Da'e rushed to the lakeside.

She immediately noticed her son's clothes lying on the grass, then searched the surroundings but couldn't find him.

She looked anxiously at the village party secretary, Fan Sanyuan, "Secretary, how long has my son been down there?"

"It's been a while," Fan Sanyuan said.

"Is he the only one?"

"No. Li Dazhuang and Tan Si went down too."

"Didn't anyone come up?"

"Hmm. Not a single one!" Fan Sanyuan shook his head.

"boom!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Da'e was as if struck by lightning, her mind going completely blank.

The three of them went down together.

No one has come up yet.

There's a high chance something's wrong.

In an instant, Zhao Da'e was so anxious that she collapsed to the ground.

"mother!!!"

Zhao Chunyan quickly helped Zhao Da'e up.

Zhao Da'e grabbed Zhao Chunyan's wrist. "Chunyan, Xiao Bei... he's in trouble, he... he's really in trouble. My... my Liu family was finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and now... he's met with this terrible disaster. How am I going to face your father after I'm gone?!"

"Mother, don't worry, Liu Bei is tough, he'll be fine!" Zhao Chunyan kept shaking her head.

"No way? Really...no way..."

As she was talking, Zhao Da'e fainted.

"Mother~"

"Mother~"

Zhao Chunyan and Su Yuehe hurriedly swayed.

"Mom, Grandma...she's fainted!"

Just then, Panpan and the others caught up and witnessed Zhao Da'e fainting.

"It shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be like this!"

Seeing this, Lin Wanqiu staggered back a few steps, her face full of self-reproach. "It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I should have stopped him, I should have stopped him..."

"Daddy~ I want Daddy~ Waaah~" Xiao Bao cried in fright.

"Daddy, please don't be hurt, Daddy, please don't be hurt~" Liu Nian also started crying.

"Sigh~"

Seeing the Liu family members, some fainting, some shouting, and some crying,

The villagers of Fanjiacun shook their heads in regret.

Liu Bei has been a scoundrel for several years.

The commotion has left the family struggling to make ends meet.

My mother, wife, and children are all living a hard life.

After much hardship, Liu Bei finally turned over a new leaf, earned some money by hunting, and turned his reputation around. His family's life gradually improved.

Who would have thought that the good days wouldn't even last a few days?

Liu Bei jumped into the lake today to save Fan Weihua's child, and more than ten minutes have passed, but there is still no sign of him. It is clear that he is in grave danger.

The women in the Liu family have truly had a hard life.

What's even more heartbreaking is the plight of the three children; how will they survive in the future?

"How pitiful!"

"That's really pitiful. Sigh!"

"God is blind!"

"Ugh!"

……

Upon hearing this, Fan Sanyuan was also completely bewildered, his eyes fixed intently on the lake.

Old Tan kept puffing on the welding fumes, going around and around in circles.

Fan Ha'er, standing to the side, became even more anxious.

He struggled incessantly, but the more he struggled, the tighter Chen Qiaolan and Fan Shuan held him.

Gradually, he got tired, squatted down on the ground, and started crying while clutching his hair.

"Brother Bei, I'm sorry. I couldn't help you. I wasn't loyal enough. I don't deserve to be your brother. I don't deserve it..."

Looking at the commotion on the shore,

A slight smile appeared on Fan Xibei's lips as he sat on the bamboo raft.

A cold smile appeared on Zhao Liuzhi's face.

"Brother Northwest, did you see that? Liu Bei's mother fainted. His three kids are crying. And his three beautiful ex-wives are terrified. What do you think will happen to his family if Liu Bei dies?"

"Who cares what happens to the Liu family?" Fan Xibei gritted his teeth and said coldly, "As long as Liu Bei is dead, that's fine. After he dies, I can have my way with his three beautiful ex-wives. Once I'm tired of them, I'll sell them off. Money and women, isn't that great?"

"That's right. Northwest Bro, you've got the foresight. Haha..." Zhao Liuzhi was secretly overjoyed. "Liu Bei, Liu Bei. You made me impotent. It's time to settle this score. After you die, I'll start by collecting some interest from your three beautiful ex-wives. Haha..."
