Chapter 196: The monster descends

~6 min read 1,146 words

"A fire?"

Chen Tian's expression is solemn; this is no small matter.

"Get up quickly, I'm going out to take a look."

Chen Tian pats Yu Li.

In the courtyard, the Liu Haizhong family is in a chaotic mess, running out in a panic.

Their house has ignited into a raging fire, illuminating the night sky as if it were daytime.

"Guangtian, go call for help quickly!"

"Oh my, my house! My furniture!"

Liu Haizhong cries out in agony.

Half an hour ago, Liu Haizhong was still smug, enjoying the flattery of his family.

Having made a heater, the whole family admired him endlessly.

He didn't expect that joy would turn to sorrow; before he could even enjoy the heater properly, his house caught fire.

"It's all your fault, you old fool!"

"Insisting on tinkering with some heater, the house is almost burned down!"

The Second Aunt is so anxious she is about to cry.

She doesn't know why, but the fire suddenly flared up, giving them no time to react at all.

This was all caused by the shoddy heater Liu Haizhong made.

Seeing that Chen Tian's house had a heater installed, Liu Haizhong became jealous.

Following the style of Chen Tian's house, he welded a few radiators himself.

The materials were all steel stolen from the factory.

Chen Tian's heating boiler was something he designed and manufactured with precision.

Liu Haizhong wanted to copy it, but only learned a half-baked version.

The heater didn't work, and it directly caused a fire.

Liu Haizhong still wanted to save his valuable things, but was dragged out by Li Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

Otherwise, he would have been finished inside.

Seeing that it was Liu Haizhong's house on fire, Chen Tian couldn't be bothered to care.

This sinister and vicious little man Liu Haizhong deserves his bad luck.

Having raised three sons, in the end, not one of them is willing to support him in his old age, which is enough to prove many things.

In order to get promoted to a factory leader, he followed Xu Damao to raid Lou Xiaoe's house.

After retirement, with no one to support them, the old couple was driven to the hospital by their sons, relying entirely on Sha Zhu's relief.

Dreaming his whole life of being an official and getting rich, in the end, he couldn't even afford to eat, shamelessly going to Sha Zhu's place to beg for food.

Even then, he still had his head in the clouds and looked down on Sha Zhu.

Xu Damao is such a despicable little man, yet Liu Haizhong turned around and got involved with him to do business.

Later, he was cheated out of his entire fortune and shamelessly came back to ask Sha Zhu to join in.

Liu Haizhong is exactly the same as the other beasts in the courtyard.

They are simply a group of vampires.

Except for Yi Zhonghai, which of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui doesn't have three or four children? Is it Sha Zhu's turn to support them in their old age?

And the facts?

Liu Haizhong raised three sons, and after they got married, the three sons took away everything valuable in the house.

They even moved away the gas tank.

Yan Jiecheng opened a restaurant, and the old couple Yan Bugui never even got to eat a single bite.

A failure as a person, and naturally a failure in educating children.

"Chen Tian, you heaven-slaying bastard, what are you standing there watching for!"

"Come and put out the fire quickly!"

Liu Haizhong is furious; watching his house about to be burned down, Chen Tian is actually indifferent.

He couldn't help but start cursing immediately.

"You old thing, if you dare to spew filth again, I'll kill you!"

"It's not my house that's on fire."

Chen Tian snorts coldly.

If this old immortal dares to curse, then there's no need to help; just watch the show.

Chen Tian is somewhat puzzled; how could it catch fire for no reason?

Liu Guangtian runs to the front courtyard shouting, and the beasts immediately surround them.

Seeing a fire in the courtyard is not something you see every day; like the Deaf Old Lady falling into the latrine, this is big news.

"Old Liu! What's the situation here!"

Yi Zhonghai is stunned; he has never seen such a big fire before.

"Hey, such a big fire, this is the first time I've seen one!"

Yan Bugui adjusts his glasses, feeling lingering fear.

The fire is so big that no one dares to go up.

"Oh my, Old Yi, Old Yan! Stop making sarcastic remarks, come and help me put out the fire!"

Liu Haizhong struggles to carry a water bucket, splashing it desperately toward the fire.

"Quick, Jiecheng, go help your Second Uncle put out the fire!"

Yan Bugui doesn't dare to go up.

With such a big fire, with his old arms and legs, he shouldn't risk getting burned.

"I'll help you."

Yi Zhonghai glances at Chen Tian, who is standing to the side bored, and can't help but speak: "Chen Tian, Old Liu's house is on fire, why are you still watching?"

"Come and put out the fire quickly."

Chen Tian glances at him indifferently and ignores Yi Zhonghai.

These beasts, when something happens, they think of relying on me?

Bah!

What the hell were you doing earlier?

Chen Tian doesn't consider himself a bleeding heart.

Whether Liu Haizhong's house catches fire or whether the house burns down has nothing to do with him.

Seeing Chen Tian unmoved, Yi Zhonghai is so angry his face turns green.

This is a great opportunity for him to rebuild his image.

As long as he helps Liu Haizhong's family put out the fire, his impression in the hearts of the people in the courtyard will definitely improve.

This old guy Liu Haizhong will also owe him a favor.

Yi Zhonghai performs very hard, carrying water back and forth to put out the fire.

Liu Haizhong didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to help him put out the fire regardless of past grievances.

"Old Yi, you are a good man!"

Liu Haizhong is somewhat moved; at critical moments, you still have to look to these old friends.

Everyone is stunned, as if it were their own house on fire.

"Hey, Yi Zhonghai is not bad, working so hard."

"Has he found his conscience, or is he deliberately doing this for us to see?"

"This old guy is selfish; I don't believe he has such a kind heart to put out the fire."

"Probably calculating some little scheme in his heart again."

"The fire is too big; even if it's extinguished, there won't be anything left in the house, and the house is ruined."

"In this winter, is Liu Haizhong's family going to sleep on the big road?" ===== CHAPTER 197 =====
