256: Chapter 255: Smiling Triumphantly 256: Chapter 255: Smiling Triumphantly Ermaozi laughed excitedly, “It was a duet! Brother, you should have seen how they twisted their waists and sang!” “Slap!” Liu Yue slapped Ermaozi, his eyebrows nearly standing on end from anger, “Did I ask you to go watch a duet?! I asked you to check on the situation at the entrances of the two villages!” Ermaozi rubbed his head and quickly said, “At the front village, they set up a stage for the duet, and it was so crowded that not even a fly could squeeze in, let alone people. At Qingshui Bay, they had a fishing competition right at the village entrance, and people were almost pushed into the river. It’s all these old farts, I never saw a single young person.” “Are you really that thrilled to watch old women dancing in a duet? Idiot! Get lost!” Liu Yue kicked Ermaozi away, now realizing that he was up against Liu Hun. These old bones neither moved nor listened to reason. Liu Yue gritted his teeth and thought, might as well wait it out! I have a car to sleep in and instant noodles to eat, I don’t believe these old farts can outlast me! As it was getting dark, Liu Yue huddled in the car, slurping his instant noodles, and said discontentedly, “The noodles taste like noodles, and the broth tastes like broth. Not a single piece of beef, just a decorative pattern that tricks people.. .What kind of flavor is this?” While Liu Yue was complaining, he suddenly smelled the aroma of barbecue. After another slurp of the noodles, he looked at the package and said, “This isn’t right! How can the braised beef noodles emit a barbecue smell?” He put down the noodle cup and looked out the car window, “Hey! Across at the entrance of Wanbao Village, there were flames flickering and smoke curling up. On a second sniff, yep! The smell was coming from over there!” Liu Yue hurriedly sent Ermaozi to investigate. This time Ermaozi learned his lesson and upon returning, he told Liu Yue, “Brother, it’s serious! Those old farts brought everything out. Pots, pans, ladles, you name it!” “Damn it!” Liu Yue furiously threw the instant noodles on the ground, then said to Ermaozi, “Eating and drinking luxuriously right in front of me! Okay! You bunch of old dogs! Just you wait!” “Brother, should we pull out?” Ermaozi asked Liu Yue. Liu Yue hit Ermaozi again and said, “Idiot! Just wait for it to get dark and the temperature to drop! We’ll be warm and cozy in the car, while those old dogs outside will freeze their fur off! If they don’t, I’m not a Liu!” As night gradually fell, Liu Yue sat in the car and started feeling guilty, spying that the cunning folks of Wanbao Village were moving their beds outside. He had a vague feeling that he needed to change his approach. It turned out exactly as Liu Yue had imagined. The old men and women of Wanbao Village really started sleeping at the village entrance. He curled up in the car and couldn’t sleep well at all, but, annoyingly, these old men and women seemed to be sleeping soundly. The next morning, Liu Yue was still dreaming when he was woken up by a dog barking, feeling pain all over, his neck almost broken. When he opened his eyes, the people from Wanbao Village had already started eating breakfast! “So you really think I’m on my deathbed, huh! Ermaozi!” Liu Yue cursed angrily, feeling completely mocked. Unable to fight or outlast them, he decided to employ his last strategy. Liu Yue called Ermaozi over and said, “Ermaozi, listen carefully. Right now, go and call a few hundred people, all young and strong. Two to carry one old dog, gently. Move them all out!” “Brother, can this really work? These old farts seem tough to deal with! What if they get hurt, wouldn’t that cause trouble?” Ermaozi said worriedly, these old men and women were like dilapidated houses, if you touch them, though they seemed spirited, a single poke could bring the whole house down! “Typical useless! Don’t you understand ‘handle with care’? If they make a fuss, just let them go to the hospital to get checked and provide proof! I’ll pay whatever it costs! Go! I don’t believe I can’t handle these old dogs!” Liu Yue kicked Ermaozi, saying furiously. Though Ermaozi was all talk, he was quite efficient in handling matters. Soon, he had gathered a large group of people. As soon as Ermaozi and the group had just arrived in Taiping Town, a disciple from the Lin Family ran into Liu Hun’s two-story house. “Master Liu, the enemy has gathered a lot of people, all young and strong men, and they’ve already reached Taiping Town. They should be here in about forty minutes,” the disciple of the Lin Family reported to Liu Hun. “Got it, go rest,” Liu Hu waved his hand at the disciple, then turned to Li, who was sitting beside him, and asked, “How are things at the front village and Qingshui Bay?” Lai Tou said with a serious expression, “No news has come from those two places; it should be fine.” “Can’t even fake an attack properly, and yet try to set up a formation on me; the Eight Trigrams Array has been turned into a mess!” Liu Hun laughed, then pulled out his cellphone and directly called the Sun Xing and Sun Ke brothers, “Listen, you two. Your men must arrive at the entrance of Wanbao Village in 30 minutes. Once their men make a move, yours go right in. If their men retreat, you follow suit and retreat, and remember, you must clear out completely, not leaving a single person behind!” “Mr. Liu, rest easy, this is guaranteed to go smoothly,” Sun Xing confidently assured Liu Hun over the phone. As Liu Hun just hung up, Qin Yue walked in, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and smiled at Liu Hun, “Bro, the journalists from the city on their nature expedition are about wrapped up; Professor Xiao is accompanying them down the mountain now!” “Qin Yue, just lead them to the village entrance directly, no need to rest. Remember, you must bring them to the entrance within 30 minutes!” Liu Hun told Qin Yue, picking up a cup of tea, actively strategizing as if he was indeed a bit of a Zhuge Liang himself. Qin Yue, delighted with Liu Hun’s cleverness, smiled and praised, “You really are capable, coming up with such a trick! Off I go then!” And with that, she left in a hurry. As it turned out, Liu Hun had arranged for Ren Peiling and Xiao Yanzhu to send a letter the day before, inviting various influential media reporters from Yuhua City to Wanbao Village under the guise of a nature expedition. Not only were they treated well with food and luxury shuttle services, but each received a substantial red envelope. With the Township Government leading and a biology professor heading the team, it was an opportunity to make money without spending any, hence a group of journalists had been fetched to Wanbao Village and truly camped out on the mountain overnight. “Lai Tou, gather up all the disciples of the Lin Family, have them go to the village entrance to keep a watch. In case any incidents occur, we need to control the situation,” Liu Hun instructed Lai Tou, then stood up himself to head to the village entrance. If anything grave happened at Wanbao Village due to this event, his own authority in the village would be greatly undermined. Soon, the first group of people arrived at the entrance of Wanbao Village, the ones summoned by Er Maozi. Seeing the robust young men, Liu Yue felt as assured as if he had swallowed a weight, and told Er Maozi, “Er Maozi, handle it gently; move them as far as you can! The rest of the people get in the car, and the moment the road clears, drive straight into Wanbao Village!” “Fellows! Get moving!” Er Maozi grandly waved his hand, conducting commands as if he really felt he was a big shot from Tsim Sha Tsui! No sooner had he spoken than fast it happened! Just as Er Maozi’s men rolled up their sleeves and headed towards Old Li Tou and others at the village entrance, the Sun Xing and Sun Ke brothers arrived with a gang of ruffians, coincidentally from the side of Er Maozi’s group. Seeing the situation, Sun Ke chuckled and said to Sun Xing, “Big bro, let’s go in!” “Go where? To the graveyard? The scene isn’t even chaotic yet, if we go in now, won’t we be recognized!” Sun Xing retorted irritably, “This is our first time handling a job for Mr. Liu; we need to do it solidly and securely, we need to be discreet! Wanbao Village is now flush with cash—Mr. Liu mentioned two million per person. How poor was the front village before? Go have a look now! And our Qingshui Gully, we have nothing! If we don’t handle this well now, in the future, even pies falling from the sky won’t hit us!” “Bro, you really have the brains, insightful! Insightful!” Sun Ke laughed heartily, pondering it was indeed the case. “Go over the instructions one more time; the moment I blow the whistle, everyone fucking retreats. If anyone screws up and messes this up, not only won’t they get paid, I’d break their leg!” Sun Xing instructed Sun Ke; having mixed around in this area for many years, he knew the ins and outs of each rowdy ruffian. Thus, he was able to control them completely, but still repeatedly emphasized Liu Hun’s orders. Old Li Tou, seeing a group approaching, not only wasn’t cowed but revitalized like an old donkey on a young horse, and went up to confront them first, shouting, “What’s this? Coming to serve me? I gave... Ouch! What are you doing! It’s murder! Help...” As it proved, Old Niu’s bravado only lasted for three seconds; Old Li Tou was comfortably carted away by two strong men, one lifting his hands and the other his feet. He had neither the strength nor the ability to resist, and truly had nowhere to go to even get a superficial wound; internally, he was truly miserable. The elders around, seeing that the opponents really dared to get physical, one by one immediately lay down on the ground, crying and rolling like they were competing, wailing and cursing so loudly it was even more tragic than a car accident scene. Sun Xing, seizing the moment, said to Sun Ke beside him, “Take your troublemakers and get in there!” Sun Ke acknowledged and immediately led his men to rush in; the scene was already chaotic, smoky, and full of screams, no one even noticed Sun Ke and his group sneaking in. Liu Yue sat in the car, happily cracking sunflower seeds, “Heh! Damn! Really works! A bunch of old dogs! Let’s see what else they can do to trouble me!” As he talked, he even hummed a tune, “I smile with delight~ Heh~ I smile with delight...”
