“He… he was asked to do it by someone else.” This matter had to be explained in time!

“Someone else? Who?”

“We really don’t know, we swear. All we know is that the person seems to be from Ji City.”

Ji City?

Once Wang Yao heard of the place, he immediately thought of the dandy.

After all, he had only been to Ji City once in recent years. Furthermore, he did not reveal his name when he taught the dandy a lesson. He did not expect that Li Shaoyang would manage to find him here that quickly.

Okay. His connections are pretty strong!

“Please, can we leave?” the two young man asked carefully.

“Leave? Where to?”

After a short while, the two young men had the cops called on them, to escort them to the police station in town.

When the two of them saw the police car, they were remorseful. They initially thought that it was a very simple matter. They did not expect that there would be such a big trouble. Not only were they beaten, but they were busted by the police.

Wang Yao called Wang Mingbao and asked him to notify his friends at the police station in town to see if something else could be discovered. Once Wang Mingbao, who was on the other end of the phone, heard that someone was looking for trouble in the village and his buddy was the target, he got angry and called his friend immediately.

Then, the two young man who went to the police station were immediately put in a tight spot.

“We didn’t rob him with a knife!”

How did this become a violent criminal offense?

Fighting and robbing with a knife were completely different!

“We didn’t. We’re wronged!” The both of them almost cried.

This was the wrong way of handling it.

“You didn’t? What’s this then?”

Randomly, the police handling the case immediately played a video, which was the scene in which a young man was threatening Wang Yao with a knife.

This?

They were dumbfounded.

“No. We’re the ones who were hurt here! We were defending ourselves!”

They were the victims.

“You probably think that our small village’s rapid development is nothing but a joke. These monitors recorded the evidence of your crime.”

“Sir, we’re the victims!”

“Victims?” The police who handled the case was startled.

These two men apparently had no experience in trials. They did not commit crimes often. After being interrogated further, they cracked; they held nothing back and revealed everything that they knew.

Soon, Wang Yao knew about these.

Zhao Sen. Not only was Wang Yao unfamiliar with this name, the police were unfamiliar with it as well. After all, this was a village town. They don’t know many outsiders.

Who is this person?

Wang Yao immediately gave Wei Hai a call and asked him to help inquire about it.

After a bit of time had passed, Wei Hai received some information about Zhao Sen. He was considered as a famous person tied to organized crime in Haiqu City. Frankly speaking, he was a gangster with no fixed occupation.

After being informed of this information, Wang Yao began to think about how to deal with the subsequent drama that would inevitably arise. This Zhao Sen obviously would not stop here.

“How should we deal with the two men? Why don’t we lock them up for a few days?”

“No. Let them go. Let them tell Zhao Sen and the dandy from Ji City what happened.”

Wang Mingbao then called his friend. The two men were asked to pay some fine and write a pledge. After that, they were released. Their car was still in the mountain village. They were so scared of Wang Yao and his influence that they abandoned their car and took a taxi straight back to Haiqu City.

“What? You were caught by the police? Are you dumb? I asked you to find out the location of his house, nothing else. What did you do to get yourself arrested? Did you threaten him?”

After hearing this news, Zhao Sen was furious. His men were getting more and more incompetent.

“It was unexpected, Boss. The whole thing was absolutely unexpected.”

“Okay, okay. I get it.” Zhao Sen waved his hand impatiently.

He immediately informed the police and arrested them. It seems like he isn’t an easy opponent. Should I warn Mr. Li?

After that, Zhao Sen found Li Shaoyang and told him about the situation that his men had found themselves in.

“Mr. Li, I think this Wang Yao has some connections too. Forgive me for saying this, but it’s Haiqu City here and not Ji City. One with great power can’t defeat a local villain. You must think it over carefully before doing anything.”

“Don’t worry. I’m just going to have a small chat with him. What’s all this about a great power and local villain?” Li Shaoyang waved his hand without taking in a word Zhao Sen said.

It was still raining outside. Li Shaoyang called someone else that night.

He was a dandy, but he was not dumb. Although he did not care about what Zhao Sen said on the surface, he knew very well that it was not Ji City. But even in Ji City, he had to be scrupulous in doing things; this place, albeit unknown to him, was no different.

Firstly, he had to guarantee his own safety. With his weakened body, he could be bullied by a junior high school student.

…

In the village, two people drove up in a car near evening.

After repairing the punctured tires of their car, they left immediately and did not make any other stops.

…

At night, in the herbal field, the shoots of the seeds of the herbs which Wang Yao had just planted popped up out of the ground quietly.

The dog, which was lying in his kennel, stared at them for a while.

It rained in intervals at night.

The sky was still gloomy the next day.

In the medical center at the foot of the hill, the grape tree in the corner bore more than 10 bunches of grapes. Its color was a deep, beautiful green.

There were very few grapes a few days ago. However, after just a few days, the grapes had already turned from slightly purplish from green.

“It’s growing quite fast,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

In the morning, Wei Hai drove to the medical center for Zhao Sen’s matter. He made sure to ask his friend to inquire about Zhao Sen, because, from what he’d heard so far, the man did not have a very good reputation. He thought that he should come to visit his friend personally; maybe Wang Yao would need his help somewhere along the line.

“I don’t need your help for the time being. If I do need your help, I’ll definitely let you know when the time comes.” After hearing Wei Hai’s words, Wang Yao was quite touched.

“Zhao Sen isn’t a good man. I asked someone to inquire about him and, according to my guy, he did lots of bad things in Haiqu City.”

“Okay. Thank you for telling me.”

They drank tea. It was raining outside.

With a cup of tea in hand, the two friends chatted for a while.

“Why don’t you have lunch with me and my family?”

“Sure. Sorry to bother you.”

“No worries.”

Wei Hai had a meal at Wang Yao’s house. Wang Yao’s mother prepared a table of dishes.

…

“Mr. Li.”

“Brother Hao, sorry for the trouble.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Take the money and do the job. This was the principle which Zheng Hao pursued.

He had received a call from Li Shaoyang the day before. Today, he brought his most competent men to Haiqu City.

They provided full-time and professional thugs for their business.

“Come with me tomorrow.”

“No problem. Who’s the target?”

“A young man.”

A young man? What kind of a description is that? Zheng Hao was slightly startled.

He did not like to do things that he did not prepare for. Of course, he could still give it a try, as long as the money was enough. He had cooperated with the dandy in front of him for more than once. Li Shaoyang was very generous in spending his money.

It was not the first time that they had come to Haiqu City. However, they did not have a very good impression of the city the first time, because they had gotten into trouble here.

…

“I’ll get going. I’ll come whenever you need me to.”

“Okay.”

Wang Yao saw Wei Hai off.

The sky was extremely gloomy, just like the night sky.

It was going to rain heavily.

Holding an umbrella, Wang Yao went up Nanshan Hill despite the mud.

In the rain, the trees on the hill and the herbs in the herbal field were green and luxuriant.

Huh?

He realized that the seeds of the herbs that he had just planted had already sprouted.

Not bad. It’s growing pretty fast!

The rain stopped early morning the next day. The sky was still gloomy.

Wang Yao came down from the hill. He knew that the matter had not come to an end. The man to whom the two guys went back to inform in Ji City would definitely come back. He did not want to bring trouble to his parents.

…

“Mr. Li, who are you looking for this time in such a remote place?”

An imperial sedan sped on the desolate road.

Tsk, tsk. I didn’t expect that he actually lives in such a ravine.

The car arrived at the mountain village.

“Move forward a little more.”

Huh?

“I’m heading out.”

…

Wang Yao held an umbrella and left his house.

Just when he reached the entrance of the alley, he saw a car coming from a distance.

They’re here.

“Hey, stop in front.”

The car stopped and the car window was rolled down. As the windows were being rolled down, Wang Yao and Li Shaoyang’s gaze met in the rain.

“Damn. It’s him!”

Why, he looks well. Clearly, I didn’t punch him hard enough last time!

“Hello, Wang Yao.”

Standing in the rain, Wang Yao smiled. “Hello.”
