Chapter 300: 296. It

Zhang Ran hung up the phone and said to the incredulous Mu Yuan, "Mu Yuan, start a video call with your old man."

Even if Zhang Ran hadn't said it, Mu Yuan was already preparing to make a call to ask about the situation.

However, when Zhang Ran saw that he was intending to make a call, he immediately said with a cold face, "I told you to start a video call; didn't you hear me?"

Mu Yuan subconsciously tapped to start the video, and then he saw Mu Jinyuan on the other side with a heavy expression on his face.

Mu Jinyuan didn't say much, only saying indifferently, "No matter what your Uncle Zhang asks you to do, do not refuse."

Zhang Ran heard his words and said with a smile, "I wouldn't dare to make Young Master Mu's uncle lose face."

As he spoke, Zhang Ran took Mu Yuan's phone and aimed it at him, letting Mu Jinyuan watch.

At the same time, Zhang Ran also said, "Mu Jinyuan, don't blame me for not warning you; you must watch until the end, otherwise I can't guarantee anything."

"By the way, you probably don't know the cause of this matter yet, right? Let me tell you about it."

As he spoke, Zhang Ran briefly explained the matter between Liu Lu and Mu Yuan, and finally, Zhang Ran said, "You, Mu Jinyuan, should know that the reason you are still able to live so comfortably right now is all thanks to these family members of mine."

"It is also fortunate that this matter was indeed accidental, otherwise there would be no need for you to exist right now." Zhang Ran's final tone was very indifferent.

A chill went through Mu Jinyuan's heart; he did not doubt Zhang Ran's words in the slightest, and at the same time, he knew that this was a warning from Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran had previously dealt with Tian Yaohui using only above-board methods; these were not because Zhang Ran was timid, nor for any other reason, but simply because Zhang Ran had concerns.

But if anyone dared to touch these concerns of his, then they shouldn't blame Zhang Ran for being ruthless.

"Dad, I..." Mu Yuan was still in a daze at this moment; he had originally looked down on this person who had actually taken action against a small village, thinking how much of a future could such a person have.

Therefore, his mindset had always been in a high-and-mighty state.

But the reversal came so quickly; he had only been arrogant for a moment before he was immediately slapped in the face.

Mu Jinyuan looked at Mu Yuan without speaking, just watching him quietly, leaving Mu Yuan at a loss for what to say for a moment; he knew that Mu Jinyuan had already made up his mind at this moment.

At this time, he felt some panic; who exactly was this person in front of him?

From the time he was small until now, he had never seen anyone who made his father so wary—no, it should be said, terrified!

Liu Lu also hadn't recovered her senses; she didn't know Mu Yuan, but she had heard of Mu Jinyuan, as his fame was simply too great.

Such a person was originally a legendary figure in her life, but even such a legendary figure didn't seem to dare to act out in front of Zhang Ran.

Originally, Liu Lu had already thought of her father-in-law as being very high up, but now it seemed she still lacked imagination.

Zhang Ran didn't chat with Mu Jinyuan's side, only saying to Liu Lu, "Xiao Lu, what did he want you to do?"

Liu Lu opened her mouth, not knowing whether she should say it.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's a small matter. It's already quite good that we Zhang Family members don't bully others; there is no reason for us to swallow our pride when others bully us."

"He told me to roll around in the mud," Liu Lu said in a low voice.

Zhang Ran nodded and looked at He Yong; He Yong also walked to Mu Yuan's side in tacit understanding, grabbing Mu Yuan like a chick.

At this moment, not knowing who gave him the courage, Miao Lao actually spoke up: "Um, Mr. Zhang, Young Master Mu was just blinded by anger and didn't mean it. Could you please let him go this once? Just consider it as doing me a favor."

Zhang Ran hadn't expected this old man to actually have the face to say such things.

"Do you a favor? What are you?" Zhang Ran said with a cold face.

He then looked at Xiaoyuan and the others, "Was it you lot who blocked my daughter-in-law just now? If I hadn't come, were you planning to use force?"

"I haven't even come to you for trouble, and you actually have the face to say this."

Zhang Ran was so angry he laughed; he really had never seen such a thick-skinned person.

After hearing this, Miao Lao acted as if he hadn't heard the disdain in Zhang Ran's tone, still saying with a chuckle, "Mr. Zhang, I was just..."

"Shut up. We'll settle your business later. Do you think things are over just like that?" Zhang Ran shouted coldly.

Miao Lao's expression stiffened, and his heart became incomparably heavy; he had actually wanted to test Zhang Ran by saying those things just now.

If Zhang Ran had really granted him this 'favor', it would have proven that Zhang Ran still seemed quite kind, although one could tell from the phone call between Zhang Ran and Mu Jinyuan that this wasn't the case.

But the impression Zhang Ran had left on them back then was simply too profound, to the point that Miao Lao was still harboring fantasies even now.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!" Mu Yuan suddenly began to scream in terror.

Zhang Ran turned his head to look and found that He Yong was also stunned. He Yong saw Zhang Ran's questioning gaze and shrugged, saying, "I really didn't do anything; I just pressed him into the mud."

Zhang Ran listened to Mu Yuan's terrified screams, his stiffened state from head to toe, and that intense feeling of disgust, and suddenly laughed, "Mu Jinyuan, does this son of yours have mysophobia? Tsk tsk tsk, I really didn't expect that even after you all lived in that kind of place back then, you would still give birth to a son with mysophobia. It's hard to imagine."

However, as he spoke, Zhang Ran smiled with malicious intent. He said to Xin Man, "Village Chief Xin, go see if there are any manure pits nearby."

Upon hearing these words, the already stiff Mu Yuan felt his hair stand on end, his voice carrying a sobbing tone, "No, don't, I was wrong, don't."

Zhang Ran acted as if he hadn't heard his words, only looking at Xin Man.

Xin Man didn't hesitate for even half a second and immediately said, "I know a place."

Even if there wasn't one, Xin Man would dare to create one immediately; there was nothing else here in abundance, but there were plenty of people.

At the same time, Xin Man believed in Zhang Ran's previous promise even more. He didn't know who Mu Yuan was, nor did he know who Mu Jinyuan was; he only knew that Miao Lao, who was almost the final word in their vicinity, didn't even dare to let out a fart in front of Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran said to He Yong, "Dayong, I'll have to trouble you."

He wasn't prepared to watch; after all, it was quite disgusting, and even if one didn't have mysophobia, it would still feel incomparably disgusting.

He Yong didn't have much expression on his face; he grabbed Mu Yuan very calmly and then left with Xin Man.

He also took the phone with him; Zhang Ran still wanted to let Mu Jinyuan watch with his own eyes what the consequences were for bullying his, Zhang Ran's, family, even if it wasn't intentional!

Only then did Zhang Ran look at Miao Lao and the others seriously. He didn't speak to them, but simply dialed another phone call.

Liu Lu had also experienced some things while following by Zhang Ran's side, knowing that every time Zhang Ran made a phone call, he would uncover something, or rather, cause some reversals in the situation; it was the same just now.

Now, a thought suddenly popped into Liu Lu's mind: don't fear the father-in-law getting angry, fear the father-in-law making a phone call!

At this moment, she was also completely relaxed. At the same time, seeing her father-in-law do so much just to let her vent her anger, she felt full of a sense of security, and the worry she had felt earlier because of Zhang Sicheng's matter was also slightly eased.
