191: Chapter 190 Seeking Death 191: Chapter 190 Seeking Death After returning to Wanbao Village, Liu Hun began to focus on his tasks. With the help of machinery and technical workers brought by Hu Qingdie, he cleared large tracts of land surrounding Wanbao Village suitable for planting fruit tree seedlings. Under Liu Hun’s leadership, the once wild and overgrown Wanbao Village gradually transformed into a treasure trove teeming with profitability, offering green vistas wherever one looked. Ever since the incident when Hu Qingdie dealt with Manager Wu and appointed Huang Zishan as his driver, the two had agreed that Hu Qingdie would revisit Wanbao Village. On one hand, she wanted to inspect the village environment personally, and on the other hand, witness Liu Hun’s capabilities firsthand. As Liu Hun busily prepared to welcome the tycoon, Hu Qingdie, chairman of the Hu Group, he never anticipated that at the same time, the people in Qingshuigou, adjacent to Wanbao Village, were also eagerly awaiting Hu Qingdie’s visit to Wanbao Village. In the best and most luxurious building of the Wang Family, a four-story house in Qingshuigou, were the brothers Sun Ke and Sun Xing, along with a fifty-something man with a goatee—Huang Yang. The last time Huang Yang was about to sleep with Ren Peiling, he unintentionally ended up doing a good deed for Liu Hun, delivering Ren Peiling straight into Liu Hun’s grasp while he passed out in a corner of the hotel room for a whole night. He suffered a major setback but could only swallow his pride without complaining. Having turned his son Huang Xiaofeng into a shell of a person, snatched his woman, and made him suffer humiliation and beatings, Huang Yang felt that if he could swallow this grievance, he could truly wear a straw hat and be the green cuckold. “Do you know why I insist on investing in your Qingshuigou?” Huang Yang asked, sitting on the sofa with his leg crossed, lighting a cigar as he spoke to the two brothers. The Sun brothers, familiar with the county dealings, didn’t know why Huang Yang wanted to invest here, but they knew he had connections with County Party Secretary Li Tianyang, and that was enough for them! “Hehe! Isn’t it because you see our Qingshuigou as a good place, right? You want to make money!” Sun Xing chuckled as he replied to Huang Yang, hoping that one day they could have the same high monthly income as the neighboring Wanbao Village. Sun Ke, not as money-focused as Sun Xing, was cautious, sensing Huang Yang’s ulterior motives were not just about making money. He carefully asked, “Besides making money, is there any other purpose for your investment in our Qingshuigou?” With the brothers’ response, Huang Yang immediately saw who used brains and who used brawn. With a characteristic rogue grin, he said, “I have a hundred ways to make money. I don’t need to come to this mountain village for that.” “If not for making money, then for what?” Sun Xing couldn’t help his curiosity and asked. After visiting the county, he realized how vibrant the bustling world was, and he couldn’t understand why someone as wealthy and influential as Huang Yang was here. “For a person!” Huang Yang said, his eyes glinting with an icy, terrifying gaze. “Hehe, I didn’t expect you would have such a taste. So, are you here for the original essence of village women?” Sun Ke sneered, assuming it must be for some carnal pursuit since it wasn’t about money. “Humph! I’ve heard there’s a legendary beauty in that someone’s family that I’d like to try each one of them!” Huang Yang curled his lips into a sinister smile as he spoke. “Who?” The brothers asked in unison. “Guan! Cheng!” Huang Yang finally spat out the name with gritting teeth. “Plop!” Hearing that name, Sun Xing fell from his chair in terror, clutched his head, and looked around fearfully, feeling his whole body tingle with pain. During the selection competition at the Anchang County Agricultural Expo, he had endured torture worse than death. The name “Liu Hun” was like a death warrant, making his heart tremble with fear. Although Sun Ke hadn’t endured Sun Xing’s pain, the mention of Liu Hun’s name also made his face turn pale with fright. He stuttered to Huang Yang, “No... no fooling you, boss. Liu Hun’s really like a tiger’s rear!” “Look at you two wimps! Is he a tiger’s rear? I touch tiger rears on purpose! Show some guts and stop being wimps!” Huang Yang expressed dissatisfaction with the brothers, determined to deal with Liu Hun. Huang Yang genuinely didn’t know what kind of manipulation Liu Hun used to make these two so terrified, but it was evident they were useless in their current state. He pondered, then pulled out several stacks of cash and slapped them on the table. The power of the people was great, and the power of RMB was even greater. The brothers’ frightened hearts were immediately steadied, their eyes fixed on the money, and they stopped shaking. “This is small change, to start you off! As long as you listen to me and work with me, once it’s done, you’ll get this amount!” Huang Yang finished and gestured the number “two” with his fingers. “Twenty thousand?” Sun Xing tentatively guessed, but Huang Yang shook his head in denial. “Two... two hundred thousand?” As soon as he said it, Sun Ke felt an overwhelming surge of power. “Two million!” Huang Yang firmly stated. The brothers looked as if struck by a meteor, stunned for a long while before they came to their senses. For a moment, they didn’t know how to express their joy, hating that they hadn’t studied for a couple of days in school and couldn’t even say a flattering word. Huang Yang understood that heavy rewards would yield brave men. For these cowards terrified by Liu Hun, only drastic measures could save them. “I want you to tell me now if you can help me take care of Liu Hun,” Huang Yang asked the Sun brothers. Sun Ke thumped his chest, looking like a righteous hero heading to the frontline, and said, “Boss, just say the word, and I’ll go stab Liu Hun’s ass without hesitation!” Sun Xing felt fear in his heart. He had experienced several of Liu Hun’s tricks during the Agricultural Expo selection, but thinking about the two million, an amount he couldn’t earn even with a fortuitous windfall, he gritted his teeth and agreed. “Good!” Huang Yang watched as the two whipped dogs wagged their tails, shaking his head as he said, “Why did you lose to Liu Hun before? It all comes down to this!” He pointed to his head, “Use your brains more, and your fists less!” “Use our brains? How?” Sun Xing asked Huang Yang. This wasn’t his strength; he felt his head was square and found it hard to change his way of thinking. Huang Yang pointed outside the door, “Use everything we can! Our Qingshuigou is upstream of his Wanbao Village. We have abundant water resources that can not only make money but also cause trouble for Liu Hun! And there’s this!” Huang Yang said, picking up a document and showing it to the brothers, “Policy! With this in hand in Qingshuigou, I can handle things how I want.” “But... that only works in Qingshuigou. How can we deal with Liu Hun?” Sun Ke felt he was hitting a mental block at this point. Huang Yang sighed inwardly, feeling that the saying about a humble dog being able to eat feces really had some merit, yet he was continuing to explain. “From now on, just do as I say.” The brothers nodded vehemently. Being a dog that bites didn’t require much thought, and they were happy to do it and earn money. “Qiangzi, did you get what I asked for?” Huang Yang suddenly asked Sun Ke. Sun Ke shivered as he replied, “Yes, I got it, two burlap sacks. But... what are you planning to do with it? Are you keeping it in our Qingshuigou?” Huang Yang sneered coldly, “Wanbao Village is preparing to welcome an important person these days. This person is of incredible importance to Liu Hun, and I plan to use these things to create some fun for Liu Hun!” “Who?” Sun Ke and Sun Xing asked in unison. “Hu Qingdie!” Huang Yang’s eyes turned cold as he uttered the name. “I have already investigated. The board of the Hu Group is not stable, not just Hu Qingdie calling the shots. As long as she herself or her decision has even a little mishap, the whole thing is off! Liu Hun’s efforts will be wasted! We’ll take him down step by step, bit by bit! Wait for Hu Qingdie!” Chairman of the Hu Group, Hu Qingdie, finally arrived. Although she was a chairman, she came without airs or flaunting wealth. She simply reached Taiping Town by car and walked to Wanbao Village. Liu Hun dared not neglect such a heavyweight partner. After checking the saplings on the hillside, he hurried to wait at the village entrance. He had heard that Qin Yue had organized a welcoming team, and his curiosity was piqued. As Liu Hun arrived at the village entrance and caught sight of Mao’er’s face painted like a lotus child, he felt a hint of unease. Seeing Wang Dajiao’s face painted like a baboon’s buttocks made him fully uneasy. Hu Qingdie, accompanied by Huang Zishan and a man swaying his backside, walked towards the entrance of Wanbao Village. Qin Yue, with sharp eyes, spotted them immediately and shouted, “Ready... sing!” Liu Hun had intended to stop them, but he felt it might dampen Qin Yue and the villagers’ enthusiasm, so he refrained. Suddenly hearing Qin Yue’s shout and seeing Old Li cough out a glob of phlegm while craning his neck like an aged rooster, he felt... uneasy! “Mud covering pants legs, sweat soaking the clothes, I don’t know who you are, but I know who you’re here for. Who for? For the harvest of autumn, for the return of spring geese...” The earnest and righteous song that could be performed on a provincial-level stage or even a significant Central show—’For Whom’—was sung by the villagers with a thick regional accent. Each one sang in their own rhythm, oblivious to the timing, and soon found themselves arguing as they sang.
