Chapter 259

"A piece of trash like you, whose family can get sent to prison—don't brag to me about having connections. Why don't you go take a piss and look at yourself!"

Although these juvenile delinquents couldn't read well, they liked to hang around the gatekeeper to find out the latest news from the newspapers.

These juvenile delinquents, who had grown up on the streets, though not well-read, had sweet tongues and could easily fool the security guard.

"What? What are you saying? How could my grandmother be sent to prison? She’s so old, she’s fine! Who could send her to prison?"

Bang Geng was stunned when he heard this. If Jia Jia Zhangshi were sent to prison, there would be no one left to visit him!

He really didn't want to live this life for another day; he just wanted to escape from this hellhole as soon as possible!

But unfortunately, his grandmother was already in trouble herself; how could he possibly leave this place?

"Don't be in such a hurry. If you want to leave, isn't it just a matter of having connections? Come, eat the stones on the ground. If you finish them, I won't beat you today!"

These juvenile delinquents had long disliked Bang Geng, and now they clenched their fists, ready to act!

When Bang Geng saw the sharp stones on the ground, he broke out in a cold sweat. How could he possibly eat these things?

"This, this, this... how can I eat these things? If I eat them, my intestines will be shredded!"

"How about I eat something else? I’ll eat paper! Can I eat paper like before? This will kill me!"

Bang Geng knelt before them, begging for mercy. Being a coward, he really didn't dare to eat those things!

However, these people wouldn't give Bang Geng a chance to bargain; they pried open his mouth and shoved the stones in.

In an instant, Bang Geng’s mouth was dripping with blood, which flowed down to his neck. At that moment, Bang Geng was filled with regret!

If he had known things would turn out like this, he would have chosen to live a good life when he first returned from the juvenile detention center!

He didn't know how much longer he would have to stay here; life was truly getting harder by the day!

And what made Bang Geng most helpless was that even the instructors ignored him; as long as he was still breathing, they didn't care about anything else.

This was why these juvenile delinquents had become increasingly arrogant, to the point where they dared to force Bang Geng to do such things!

Bang Geng had eaten quite a few of those things, and now, with blood flowing wildly and the intense, sharp pain, he felt that death would be better than life!

He truly wanted to die now. Why was he so unlucky?

"That’s natural. How could I lie to you? Isn't that right, Second Uncle?"

"Rest assured, I definitely have leverage on Chen Tian now. Yu Yu Haitang often runs to Chen Tian’s office. I’ve seen her massaging Chen Tian’s shoulders many times!"

"Every time Yu Yu Haitang comes out of Chen Tian’s office, she looks disheveled. I don't believe there’s nothing going on between them!"

"And now that Chen Tian has moved into that villa, I’ve seen him take Qin Qin Huairu and Qin Qin Jingru back there several times!"

"Once this matter blows up, I don't believe Chen Tian won't be afraid. When the time comes, he’s a Grade 3 Senior Engineer—he’ll give us whatever we want!"

Xu Xu Damao had been living in the lounge for a week, and clearly, he hadn't spent little time plotting against Chen Tian.

At this moment, he wanted to use these matters to make a good profit off Chen Tian.

At the very least, he had to get his house back. If he could extort a few hundred yuan on top of that, he wouldn't have to work so hard!

"Are you sure you saw it with your own eyes? You’re not just spouting nonsense, are you? If this is true, then Chen Tian is finished!"

"That damn bastard caused me so much misery. I must make him spit out all my money and then pay me back several hundred yuan in damages!"

"I must make him pay back a thousand-fold for the suffering I’ve endured these days. I want him to kneel and kowtow to apologize to me!"

Liu Liu Haizhong was trembling all over while holding his lunch box. These days, he had lived worse than a dog, and when he returned home, he had to be disgusted by the Second Aunt.

Every day, she was either blaming Liu Liu Haizhong for sending their son to prison or complaining that he had lost their house. Life was truly too difficult!

Xu Xu Damao lost face so badly that the people present couldn't help but laugh out loud!

"That’s right, I lived in the same courtyard as Xu Xu Damao before. He did indeed marry that old lady!"

"Xu Xu Damao, we know what happened between you and the old lady, but there’s no need to say you don't even know her!"

"The old lady’s house and money are indeed gone, but no matter what, she counts as your ex-wife. There’s no need to pretend you don't even recognize her!"

Liu Liu Haizhong glanced into the workshop; Yi Yi Zhonghai was staring at him with a suspicious look. Liu Liu Haizhong had no choice but to follow Xu Xu Damao and leave.

"What are you doing? Didn't you say Chen Tian isn't at the rolling mill now? Why did you call me out? Yi Yi Zhonghai is staring at me in the workshop right now; he’s dying to kick me out!"

"You have nothing to do and run around all day, and you get paid. I’m different from you. I have 50 yuan in rent to pay every month; I have to work! If my wages are docked, I won't even be able to afford steamed buns!"

Liu Liu Haizhong felt some resentment, thinking Xu Xu Damao was just looking for trouble!

"Stop with the nonsense. I plan to go to Chen Tian’s house to find him later. At this time of day, we’ll definitely see quite a few women at his place!"

"We’ll catch them in the act this time. I don't believe he’ll dare to turn against us!"

Xu Xu Damao planned to go directly to the villa. Clearly, he had made plenty of preparations over the past week!

Xu Xu Damao had been watching Qin Qin Huairu and Yu Yu Haitang closely, and he had noticed several times that Chen Tian would enter the rolling mill first, and then Yu Yu Haitang and Qin Qin Huairu would arrive shortly after!

So, after tracking Yu Yu Haitang and Qin Qin Huairu a few times, he discovered they were all going to the same place, and that place was Chen Tian’s villa.

"What? You know where Chen Tian lives? Why didn't you say so earlier? What are you dawdling for? Let’s go!"

"Those bastards in the workshop! They don't believe I can be a leader. Once I get my hands on leverage against this Grade 3 Senior Engineer Chen Tian, I’ll see if they don't all come crawling to apologize to me!"

Liu Liu Haizhong was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Xu Xu Damao to know where Chen Tian was.

"Remember one thing: don't go shouting and screaming later. If you make a scene, none of us will have a good time!"

"And don't think about being any kind of leader. Do you think Chen Tian would really let a person like you be a big leader?"

"You’ve been a Grade 7 fitter for so many years and never became a leader. If Chen Tian promotes you now, and then you go shouting in the workshop, everyone will guess you have something on Chen Tian!"

"You’ve seen Chen Tian’s methods before. So, just take the money later and don't make any more demands. Get your house back and extort a large sum of money from Chen Tian—that’s enough!"

Xu Xu Damao didn't expect to rely on Chen Tian to become a leader in the rolling mill. Getting a large sum of money from Chen Tian was better than being a leader.

After all, a leader’s monthly salary was only so much, but who knew how much money Chen Tian had!

Not to mention anything else, just the money Chen Tian had taken from the courtyard these days—if they could get their hands on it, it would be enough to last them a lifetime!

Liu Liu Haizhong was furious. The thing he wanted most in his life was to be an official, and now that this opportunity was in front of him, Xu Xu Damao wouldn't allow it!

"Why! It’s just being a small leader. Why would anyone suspect anything? With my qualifications and status, why can't I be a leader!"

Liu Liu Haizhong was clearly more agitated. Compared to money, to be honest, he would rather be the leader he had never been in his life!

"Stop with the nonsense. I’ve already explained it to you. Can you not understand human speech, or is your brain flooded?"

"Do you agree or not? If you don't, I won't take you to Chen Tian’s villa. You can just eat steamed buns and drink water for the rest of your life!"

Xu Xu Damao was almost driven to death by him. He had clearly explained the cause and effect, yet he was still asking questions.

"Then I’ll believe you this once. I don't have to be a leader, but he must demote Yi Yi Zhonghai to a grassroots employee and send him to clean the toilets!"

Liu Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and agreed; he had no other choice!

If Xu Xu Damao didn't take him to Chen Tian’s house, to be honest, he really had no way of getting there.

Now, although he couldn't be a leader, he had to make Yi Yi Zhonghai miserable; he also planned to have Yi Yi Zhonghai clean the toilets!

Xu Xu Damao nodded in agreement. If he weren't afraid that Chen Tian would use some methods if he went alone, leaving him unable to escape, he would never have brought the brain-dead Liu Liu Haizhong.

The Villa.

Qin Qin Huairu was still working at the rolling mill. Yu Yu Haitang, He Yushui, and Qin Qin Jingru were busy with their own tasks after finishing the housework.

However, the three of them were busy preparing to make new clothes for Chen Tian.

Chen Tian was leisurely drinking tea, but his powerful spiritual sense sensed two familiar figures!

Clearly, after Xu Xu Damao and Liu Liu Haizhong finished their discussion, they had rushed to the vicinity of the villa.

Chen Tian’s hearing was sharp; he could hear sounds from several kilometers away clearly!

"Liu Liu Haizhong, you heard what I said, right? Don't talk nonsense. Get our house and money first, and don't mention being a leader to me again!"

Liu Liu Haizhong kept muttering along the way, clearly unwilling to give up his dream of being a leader.

Xu Xu Damao flatly refused; he couldn't possibly take that risk!

After all, he had seen Chen Tian’s methods before. If he really angered Chen Tian, there was no telling what the consequences would be!

"Alright, I know. I’ll get the money and the house first. We’ll talk about being a leader later!"

Liu Liu Haizhong curled his lips in dissatisfaction, clearly unwilling to give up hope.

However, Xu Xu Damao had no choice now; he had already brought Liu Liu Haizhong to this place!

Just as Xu Xu Damao was about to knock on the door, Chen Tian’s voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Xu Xu Damao, you haven't forgotten, have you? The mediation document and divorce agreement between you and the old lady are still in Yan Yan Bugui’s hands. You dare to plot against me!"

"If you want to be executed before the old lady dies, then bring him in and try!"

Xu Xu Damao was scared out of his wits. He thought he was hallucinating, but the voice was too clear—it was exactly Chen Tian’s voice.

Xu Xu Damao started talking to himself in place, shouting at the air twice.

"Chen Tian, is that you? Chen Tian, did I hear wrong?"

Xu Xu Damao remembered that his mediation document and divorce agreement were still with Yan Yan Bugui, and Yan Yan Bugui was Chen Tian’s lackey!

If he brought Liu Liu Haizhong to threaten Chen Tian like this, Chen Tian might be fine, but he would be the one dragged off to be executed!

It seemed that his eyes had been blinded by greed these days, and he had forgotten that he still had that leverage against him.

At the very least, before the old lady died, he had no right to challenge Chen Tian!

"Xu Xu Damao, why are you shouting for no reason? We’re almost there. Are you going in or not?"

Liu Liu Haizhong didn't know what Xu Xu Damao was doing!

They were already at the door, and Xu Xu Damao started shouting at the air—he looked just like a lunatic!

"Liu Liu Haizhong, we can't afford to offend Chen Tian. Let’s go! Don't go in, or we’ll be in big trouble!"

Xu Xu Damao, having come to his senses, knew he was no match for Chen Tian.

He pulled Liu Liu Haizhong, wanting to leave the villa. How could Liu Liu Haizhong agree? They were already at the door!

"Xu Xu Damao, what kind of madness are you having? You were the one in such a hurry to come here, and now, after a few words, you want to leave!"

"I don't have time to mess around with you. I have to pay rent next month. I must get Chen Tian’s money!"

"Is your brain flooded? Mine isn't. You’re useless. If you don't have the guts, I’ll go ask Chen Tian for the money myself!"

Liu Liu Haizhong pushed Xu Xu Damao aside and went to knock on the door.
