Chapter 97

"...So what if it is? You just didn't want to take the responsibility, so you used me as a pawn!"

"I was also deceived by you. I won't listen to you anymore. You never intended to save the Second Uncle at all!"

Yi Yi Zhonghai's heart was in his throat, but he knew he couldn't let his cover be blown, or he would be completely finished.

Chen Tian had no interest in watching this farce anymore.

Chen Tian then moved his mind, and an Illusion Talisman was directly cast on Yi Yi Zhonghai!

Suddenly, Yi Yi Zhonghai froze in place, looking completely foolish.

Everyone didn't expect Yi Yi Zhonghai, who had been so emotional just a moment ago, to suddenly stop talking!

Everyone's appetite was whetted, and they couldn't help but ask questions.

"Yi Yi Zhonghai, if you have something to say, just say it all at once. Why are you freezing there?!"

"That's right, what exactly happened? Why is the IOU in your hands?"

"No, you can't just brush us off with a few words!"

Everyone shouted one after another.

Yi Yi Zhonghai, under the influence of the Illusion Talisman, was clearly in an illusion and had no defenses at all.

"I tricked the Second Aunt into writing the IOU just to swindle 200 yuan from her later!"

"I originally planned to use Chen Tian's name to trick the Second Aunt into signing the IOU, and then go to Liu Liu Haizhong to ask where he hid the money!"

"But I didn't expect that after I saw Liu Liu Haizhong, I couldn't ask about the location of the money, and then Chen Tian came, and I couldn't go find Liu Liu Haizhong anymore!"

"This whole thing was planned by me; Chen Tian didn't know about it at all!"

"To grease some palms, I spent money to buy two packs of Da Da Qianmen, and feeling like I lost out, I asked the Second Aunt to borrow money!"

"I didn't expect this idiot to make such a big scene, so I had no choice but to stand up and slander Chen Tian!"

For a moment, Yi Yi Zhonghai, under the influence of the Illusion Talisman, revealed all his inner secrets in response to everyone's questions.

The Second Aunt stood there, stunned, finally understanding the whole thing.

She had always felt something was fishy before; Chen Tian's demand was 500 yuan, so why did it suddenly drop to 200!

And Yi Yi Zhonghai's stuttering and excessive eagerness were indeed too suspicious!

"Yi Yi Zhonghai, you bastard, are you even human? Our family is already so miserable, and you still thought about swindling our money!"

"You animal, you're really not human. I was truly blind to have believed you!"

The Second Aunt was furious; she never expected that Yi Yi Zhonghai, who seemed so warm-hearted, was such an animal.

"My god, Yi Yi Zhonghai could actually do such a thing. After all, he was the First Uncle of our Sihe Academy!"

"Bullshit Uncle, he's a complete hypocrite. The Second Aunt actually chose to believe him, she's truly blind!"

"I knew something was wrong. Chen Tian is a dignified 3rd-level engineer, how could he care about a hundred or two? Only a greedy bastard like Yi Yi Zhonghai would come up with such a poisonous plan!"

Everyone was incredibly indignant. Although they had long known Yi Yi Zhonghai wasn't a good person, this incident still made them furious.

Yan Yan Bugui didn't dare to say a word now; he never expected things to turn out like this.

If he offended Chen Tian, he would be the one to suffer!

"Yi Yi Zhonghai, you old bastard, I'll beat you to death, you animal!"

Learning the truth, Liu Guangtian and Liu Liu Guangfu were furious. They stepped forward, grabbed Yi Yi Zhonghai by the collar, and slapped him twice.

These two slaps directly woke Yi Yi Zhonghai up!

"What's going on? Liu Liu Guangfu, Liu Guangtian, let me go! Who told you to hit me?"

Yi Yi Zhonghai felt the burning pain on his face and tried to break free, but he couldn't!

Along with it came the memory of being under the Illusion Talisman just now!

Now, Yi Yi Zhonghai froze in place, never expecting that he had actually said everything!

"Everyone, calm down. My mind was just muddled just now. What I said wasn't true, it wasn't true at all!"

Yi Yi Zhonghai was panicking; he had no idea what kind of madness had taken over him to make him say all the truth.

He hurriedly waved his hands to deny it.

But it was impossible for anyone to believe him again!

"Shut up! Yi Yi Zhonghai, things have reached this point, do you think we'll still believe you?"

"Living in the same place as someone like you makes us feel sick just thinking about it!"

"That's right, you actually dared to slander Engineer Chen. You have a lot of nerve. Everyone, calm down and see what Engineer Chen thinks!"

Now, everyone was just about to swarm forward and teach Yi Yi Zhonghai a lesson.

Remembering that they had almost offended Chen Tian just now, they hurriedly stood on the opposite side of Yi Yi Zhonghai.

"Can you lower the price, or maybe not release him right now, just let him come out a bit sooner, is that okay!"

"Once he comes out, I'll give you the money, 200 yuan, is that okay?" The Second Aunt's head was spinning; she deeply realized that only Chen Tian could save her.

She wanted to test Chen Tian's bottom line to see if she could settle this with 200 yuan!

"Do you think that's possible? I've already said the conditions are set, stop talking nonsense to me!"

"You need to be clear that the crime Liu Liu Haizhong committed is not an ordinary one; it's misappropriation of public property, and at such a special time!"

"I'm afraid he won't be released for two or three years. If you still can't make up your mind, don't waste everyone's time!"

Chen Tian was getting impatient and was about to show her the door.

The Second Aunt was hesitant; she now completely understood that he was a total hypocrite!

In the entire Sihe Academy, no one could help her except Yang Tian. Hearing that Liu

Liu Haizhong would take two or three years to be released, the Second Aunt panicked completely.

"Okay... okay then, the house is yours! You must help me get our man out as soon as possible!"

After a moment of hesitation, the Second Aunt finally made up her mind.

Given the situation at home, if the Second Uncle wasn't released for another two or three years, she might starve to death!

The Second Aunt thought she would give the house to Chen Tian first to save Liu Liu Haizhong, and then find a way to get the house back.

Yu Li was incredibly surprised; she never expected the Second Aunt to be truly willing to give up the house.

You have to know, this house had been passed down through generations in Liu Liu Haizhong's family.

If Liu Liu Haizhong came back, there would likely be a lot of trouble.

After all, once the house was in Chen Tian's hands, even if Liu Liu Haizhong offered another 500 yuan to redeem it, Chen Tian wouldn't give it back!

That is to say, from now on, Liu Liu Haizhong and his family would have to pay Chen Tian rent every month to live there!

"Okay, once the paperwork is done tomorrow, I'll have someone release Liu Liu Haizhong!"

Chen Tian nodded and agreed.

Actually, Liu Liu Haizhong's situation was ultimately because he had no one to back him up at the rolling mill.

As long as Chen Tian stepped in and put in a good word for Liu Liu Haizhong, the rolling mill would drop the charges against him.

"Okay, okay, okay, thank you so much! You must help me get our man out as soon as possible!"

The Second Aunt was still dazed; she never expected that she had actually sold her own house to Chen Tian.

She hadn't realized that Chen Tian had no intention of selling the house again, even if Liu Liu Haizhong offered all his money, it would be the same!

After the Second Aunt left, Yu Li couldn't help but ask Chen Tian.

"Chen Tian, why are you so interested in their house? Renting a house doesn't cost that much now!"

"If you have 500 yuan, you could easily rent a house anywhere in this Sihe Academy!"

Yu Li clearly didn't understand why Chen Tian had a soft spot for Liu Liu Haizhong's house.

She also thought it would be more cost-effective for Chen Tian to just take the 500 yuan.

Chen Tian shook his head without saying anything, and his hands started to become restless.

Meanwhile.

Several newspaper offices in Si Jiu City started to get busy, clearly all to report on the explosive increase in production at Chen Tian's steel mill.

Chen Tian's steel production was simply too terrifying!

This explosive news made other newspaper offices in Si Jiu City unable to stay calm!

"Hurry up, everyone! Such big news must not let other newspaper offices beat us to it!"

"Especially in the article, you must clearly write out Chen Tian's achievements. He is the hero of our Si Jiu City!"

"Such a talented person, we must let the people of Si Jiu City know about him!"

The director of the newspaper office was feeling incredibly excited; he still couldn't believe that a person like Chen Tian truly existed.
