Chapter 365: Liu Benjun's Fury

Chen Jinhai's old face flushed; he didn't want to bear this charge.

In the village, you can skip work, you can loaf around, but you can't act like a scared turtle when dealing with outsiders; otherwise the whole village will scold you.

"Who said I don't care? I'm just reasoning—let Ye Cheng come out, and we can settle this openly."

"What bullshit reasoning—look at them, they don't look like they're reasoning. If you want to reason, first put everything down!" Ye Guowei looked at Liu Benjun.

Liu Benjun now has many people, so he's not afraid at all.

He let out a cold snort, looking at Ye Guowei,

"Ye Guowei, I'll count to ten; if you don't move aside, don't blame us for being rude—swords and blades have no eyes, and we won't be responsible if you get hurt."

Ye Guowei couldn't possibly yield; he held his knife horizontally across his chest,

"Then go ahead and try."

Behind him, the villagers of Baiyun Village also shouted,

"Come on, who's afraid of you?"

"If you've got the guts, come over, fuck!"

Fuck!!!

Insults flew from this side, and the other side naturally wasn't backing down; the two groups traded insults across the space, their emotions growing more heated.

At this point, if anyone laid a hand on someone else, it would turn into a standard brawl.

Ye Guowei, charging at the front, was in the most danger.

Moreover, on the Baiyun Village side, several of Ye Cheng's acquaintances weren't present, and Duan Chunsheng had gone out to sea; if a fight broke out, it was likely that half the people on Baiyun Village's side would flee outright.

At least the Chen family wouldn't risk their lives for Ye Cheng.

The situation was about to explode, and just then—

"Stop!"

A furious roar came from behind.

Ye Cheng, grim-faced, dragged this iron rod along, bringing Xiao Hu, Duan Yong, and Yuan Jiansheng as they rushed over.

He pushed through the crowd and walked up to Ye Guowei's side.

Seeing Ye Cheng actually show up, Ye Guowei immediately panicked,

"Didn't I tell you to hide?"

"Yeah, why are you coming over now? This is dangerous." Jiang Yunxiang also stamped her feet anxiously.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, I haven't done anything wrong—I'm not scared of a feather!" Ye Cheng said irritably.

The main culprit had appeared, and Liu Benjun's eyes were practically blazing with fury.

He pointed at Ye Cheng and bellowed,

"Ye Cheng, was it you who reported my son and had him arrested?"

Fuck!

And you still have the nerve to shout?

Ye Cheng stepped forward and said loudly,

"It was me, Grandpa, who reported him—what's the problem?"

Upon hearing Ye Cheng's admission, the Baiyun Village side began murmuring softly.

"It really was Ye Cheng who reported them."

"No wonder they came looking for us."

"Yeah, I thought Liu Village was framing him, but Ye Cheng is really low—he actually reported them."

"He totally deserves it."

Villagers usually have some minor violations, like secretly fishing or stealing water and electricity—these are commonplace.

Generally, no one would report others; it's an unspoken understanding.

So if someone actually did it, everyone would look down on them.

Ye Guowei and Jiang Yunxiang never expected Ye Cheng to actually do it.

They looked at Ye Cheng, puzzled,

"A Cheng, why didn't you tell us?"

Liu Benjun looked down on Ye Cheng with contempt,

"He has the nerve to talk to you? Petty person!"

As soon as Liu Benjun's words fell, Xiao Hu, Ye Cheng's sidekick, leapt up, pointing his iron rod at him and cursing,

"Who the hell are you talking about? What your son did is none of our business—let me tell you, I also rammed his boat!"

"Rammed a boat? A Cheng, you guys rammed a boat?" Ye Guowei stared blankly, then suddenly realized,

"Your boat didn't hit a reef—it hit their boat?"

"Big brother, we rammed Da Liu's boat, then had the police arrest them." Ye Cheng said without hesitation.

After saying that, he looked at Liu Benjun,

"Do you want me to tell you what your son did?"

Actually, most people on the scene didn't know what had happened, and Liu Benjun himself didn't either.

He had found out through connections about his son's situation; the others didn't give details, just said it was Ye Cheng who reported them.

"Whatever he did isn't a reason for you to report him—listen, you can't get away today."

After saying that, Liu Benjun turned his head toward the back and shouted,

"Hit them—I'll take responsibility if anyone gets killed."

With that shout, the already somewhat agitated crowd behind him immediately stirred, grabbing whatever they had and surged forward.

At that moment, Ye Cheng suddenly let out a loud shout,

"He's colluding with the little devils! You Liu Village folks are all fucking traitors, huh?"

A thunderclap struck the ground, shocking everyone in Liu Village.

Colluding with the little devils?

Traitor?

No way!

They can cover up other charges, but colluding with the little devils?

Heh.

They agree, their ancestors would crawl out of their graves.

The Liu Village folks stopped, looking doubtfully at Liu Benjun—did Da Liu really do this?

The Baiyun Village people also froze.

They are generations of fishermen, they don't understand big principles.

But that doesn't mean they don't hate the little devils.

Stealing chickens and dogs is no big deal.

But getting involved with the little devils is absolutely unacceptable.

"Ye Cheng, you're spouting blood!" Liu Benjun said angrily,

"He just took a few little devil guests out to sea for tourism, you're confusing things."

"Folks, Ye Cheng is just spouting nonsense—what era is this? The little devils wanting to go out to sea for a look, you can't even make money off that?" Liu Benjun shouted at his own villagers.

The Liu Village people fell silent.

The times have changed, the earth has become a village—it's impossible to say there's no contact with the little devils, and it's no problem for Da Liu to earn some tourism money.

However, putting this kind of thing out in the open always feels a bit… well, hard to say, hard to say.

Ye Cheng didn't let him finish, butting in to cut him off.

"Tourism? You think that's what it is? Would the police arrest someone for tourism? Would the police arrest the little devils too?"

"Use your pig brains!" Ye Cheng pointed at the Liu Village people and started yelling.

"You think the police are all as stupid as you? I rammed his boat, I'm fine, they got arrested, and then the little devils got arrested too—are the police really that easy to fool?"

Although Ye Cheng's words were harsh, there were still some clear-headed people.

This isn't the old society; police investigations are based on evidence.

Seeing his own people waver, Liu Benjun panicked.

"Ye Cheng, stop spreading rumors to confuse the masses—you've got connections, don't think I don't know, you also have ties with the hometown, you just want to take the opportunity to suppress our village."

"I'm fucking pressuring you? When I have free time I'd rather go fishing—if I'm brain‑damaged, what's the point of pressuring you?"

"Fuck! If you won't listen, then fine—we'll fight!"

Ye Cheng also got angry, a bunch of idiots.

If you're not convinced, then fight.

He stepped forward, holding his wooden stick angled backward, and let out a loud shout.

"Come on! Whoever's not convinced, step up—we'll fight first, then talk reason!"

Ye Cheng stepped forward, and the few people behind him also stepped forward.

"Come on!"

"Come up, you bastards!"

"Come fight! Fuck, I don't dare anymore!"
