Chapter 297: 293. If a single hair is harmed, the entire village will be buried with her!

Mu Yuan heard Liu Lu's words and revealed a trace of a disdainful smile, "Forget it? You think too highly of yourself."

After her female companion finished saying those words, she hurriedly had people go get clean clothes, towels, and the like.

She knew that unless Mu Yuan saw Liu Lu suffer with his own eyes, he would not be satisfied.

"Then what else do you want?" Liu Lu's heart sank upon hearing his words.

"How about this, I can pay you double for your clothes; you name a price," Liu Lu said, taking a deep breath.

Although she was reluctant to spend extra money, she also knew the principle that a wise person does not fight when the odds are against them.

Hearing that Liu Lu still wanted to use money to settle the matter, Mu Yuan let out another disdainful cold laugh, then waved his hand, preparing to have Xiaoyuan and the others 'help' Liu Lu roll around in the mud first.

Seeing them act this way, Liu Lu panicked and took out her phone; her first thought was her husband, Zhang Sicheng. After so many years of life together, he was the first person she could think of to rely on.

However, this thought was quickly cast to the back of her mind because he was too far away.

Her second thought was her father-in-law, Zhang Ran. After spending so much time together, Zhang Ran gave Liu Lu a sense of security from an elder's care; it seemed that as long as this elder was around, she didn't need to fear anything.

Seeing Liu Lu's appearance as she wanted to make a call for help, Mu Yuan suddenly laughed and waved his hand to stop Xiaoyuan and the others, "You're looking for help? Fine, I'll find someone for you. I want to see who you can invite. By the way, it just so happens someone will be with you then."

Upon hearing his words, Liu Lu's hand stopped instantly. Seeing Mu Yuan's confident appearance, she suddenly worried that Zhang Ran would also be wronged if he came.

But it was already too late; her call had already gone through.

"Xiao Lu, do you miss Taotao? Wait a moment, I'll call them back right now," Zhang Ran said with a chuckle on the other end of the line.

Liu Lu opened her mouth, unable to say anything for a moment.

"Xiao Lu? Xiao Lu?" Zhang Ran's somewhat puzzled voice came through again.

Just as Liu Lu wanted to hang up, the phone was snatched away by Mu Yuan. Mu Yuan then said into the phone: "Stop shouting. The Xiao Lu you mentioned got my clothes dirty and is now being detained by me. What? Do you want to come and save her?"

At this moment, he wanted to call over the person Liu Lu was talking to, and then vent his anger thoroughly together; otherwise, if only Liu Lu suffered, the anger in his heart would still not be able to be released.

There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a moment. Mu Yuan sneered: "Don't tell me you're afraid to come? Rest assured, my clothes aren't worth much, just a few hundred thousand."

"If you can't bear to pay this money, just come over and kneel down and kowtow to me a few times. Ten thousand per kowtow, how about that? I'm giving you face, right?"

"Where are you?" Zhang Ran's voice was very calm, seemingly completely unaffected.

"Dad, don't come over, there are many people on their side," Liu Lu suddenly shouted.

"The location is right at the gate of Tianjia Mountain Village. When can you arrive? You can't afford to waste my time," Mu Yuan said with a cold laugh, ignoring Liu Lu.

"Tianjia Mountain? Good, very good. Twenty minutes, I will be there. Are there any people from Tianjia Mountain Village with you?" Zhang Ran asked.

Mu Yuan was somewhat surprised, "Oh, you actually know this place? Yes, Xiaoyuan, this person seems to know you. Do you want to plead for him?"

He seemed to think that Zhang Ran was looking for people from Tianjia Mountain Village to help plead for him.

Xiaoyuan hurriedly walked over and said with a fawning smile: "Young Master Mu, you are joking. When the time comes, I will be the first to make him kneel and kowtow to you to apologize."

His main goal now was to make Mu Yuan stop being angry; otherwise, the promised investment would likely fall through, and their village had no way out now.

Mu Yuan put the phone on speaker, "The person from Tianjia Mountain Village you wanted is here. Speak."

Xiaoyuan also immediately said: "I am Chang Chaoyuan of Tianjia Mountain Village. I'm telling you, you had better come over immediately and apologize to Young Master Mu, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his threatening words, he heard a voice he was somewhat familiar with coming from the phone.

"Xiaoyuan, is it? I will say this once, you listen carefully: before I arrive, if Xiao Lu loses a single hair, I will have your entire village buried with her. Go ask Xia Zhangqing when I, Zhang Ran, have ever failed to keep my word." Zhang Ran's voice remained calm, as if what he said wasn't a threat, but merely a statement of fact.

Xiaoyuan immediately knew who the person on the other end was, and hearing Zhang Ran's threat, he couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.

At the same time, he also thought of the words Xia Zhangqing had said at the time—that Zhang Ran might not even give him face.

"You actually know this person? Who is it? Such a big tone? Scaring you like this?" Mu Yuan asked, finding it somewhat amusing to see Xiaoyuan's appearance.

"It... it's that person who blocked the goods in our village," Xiaoyuan said, swallowing his saliva.

Mu Yuan said indifferently: "Regardless of who he is, he's just a small fry. Forget it, looking at your cowardly appearance, I'll just wait for him to come over. By the way, watch her for me. I'm going to wash up; it's disgusting as hell."

Saying this, he went back to wash up. The reason he stayed for so long was for Liu Lu, and now he had to wait another twenty minutes; he couldn't stand it. His obsessive-compulsive cleanliness meant he couldn't endure it for even a minute.

Zhang Ran's expression became very ugly, and at the same time, anger flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Zhang Ran's expression, He Yong immediately straightened his body and stood up. He didn't say a word, just silently began to prepare.

"Brother Zhang, what happened?" Huo Zhiyuan had also heard Zhang Ran's threatening words just now and said with some worry.

"Something happened to Xiao Lu. I'm going to handle it," Zhang Ran said, and was about to leave after saying this.

"Brother Zhang, wait for me, I'll go with you," Huo Zhiyuan said hurriedly.

This was the first time she had seen Zhang Ran reveal such angry emotions; his entire face was terrifyingly gloomy.

Zhang Ran said: "You stay here and wait for me, it'll be fine."

"Brother Zhang, you must be careful." Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Huo Zhiyuan did not insist, knowing that not adding trouble to Zhang Ran at this time was for the best, even though she considered herself someone who wouldn't cause trouble.

Zhang Ran did not delay any time, but he did not go directly; instead, he found Xin Man, "Village Chief Xin, I have something I need your help with."

"Mr. Zhang, tell me, I guarantee it will be done," Xin Man immediately patted his chest and said. He knew that this Mr. Zhang had a very good relationship with that President Huo.

Zhang Ran said: "The Yuanran Hope Primary School is decided to be built in your village. I will provide the best teaching staff, and I guarantee your village a profit of at least ten million every year."

Zhang Ran first offered the conditions; he had not been blinded by anger, and he needed to prepare the things that should be prepared.
