Chapter 301: 297. Forcing Them onto a Dead End (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

For these people of Tianjiashan, Zhang Ran truly feels a bit disgusted at this moment.

Even if Zhang Ran does not know the specific situation now, he can still guess the beginning and end of the matter.

This Mu Yuan should be the noble person of Tianjia Mountain Village, and for the sake of this so-called noble person, they first drove him, Zhang Ran, out of the village, without the slightest regard for old ties; as for Zhang Ran's past kindness, in their hearts, it had long since become like thin paper, tearing at the slightest touch.

The people of Tianjia Mountain Village thought that by latching onto Mu Yuan's line, they could rise again.

But what they never expected was that their so-called noble person seemed so vulnerable in front of Zhang Ran.

This person, who was still making solemn promises in front of them that there was absolutely no problem, and who did not take Zhang Ran—the one who was making things difficult for their village—seriously at all.

With just one phone call from Zhang Ran, he was like a little lamb, unable to stir up any waves in front of Zhang Ran.

He even suffered Zhang Ran's ravaging, and at this very moment, he is still suffering torture!

For someone with a cleanliness obsession, this already counts as inhumane torture!

Furthermore, the people of Tianjia Mountain Village now seem to vaguely understand one thing, which is why Mu Yuan came to their village; it seems this also has something to do with Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran dialed Feng Hui's number, and the call was answered quickly. This time he did not hesitate, and directly in front of these people from Tianjia Mountain Village, he said to Feng Hui: "Chairman Feng, from now on, completely blacklist Tianjia Mountain Village. If their goods appear on the market, then it is your dereliction of duty."

Zhang Ran did not say anything harsh, but the term "dereliction of duty" made Feng Hui's heart tremble.

Also, Feng Hui heard clearly that this time what Zhang Ran said was not "herbs," but "goods," which was different from the term used previously when Zhang Ran had Yaotian Pharmaceutical refuse the herbs from Tianjia Mountain Village.

Feng Hui hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter with all my might."

Zhang Ran nodded and said: "Then I will trouble you, Chairman Feng."

Aside from Miao Lao and others who already knew the situation, the others in Tianjia Mountain Village only learned of the situation at this time.

Linking this to some rumors in the village before, and the fact that their herbs were still piled up in the village to this day, their faces all changed drastically at once.

Zhang Ran was clearly telling them that his retaliation had only just arrived.

From the way Mu Yuan looked in front of Zhang Ran, they knew that Zhang Ran's power was far greater than they had imagined.

At this moment, Miao Lao could no longer maintain that kind expression, and said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Zhang, isn't this going too far? We did indeed do some things wrong before, but is it necessary to go this far?"

Zhang Ran sneered: "Too far? Heh, you can actually say that. These things were originally given to you by me, Zhang Ran. Now I want to take them back; what? Do you have an opinion?"

Miao Lao growled: "Zhang Ran, you are forcing us onto a dead end."

Indeed, now every household in their hands has quite a bit of money, but they have already become accustomed to their current level of spending.

If there is no new income, then the money in their hands simply cannot last long.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality; this saying has never been just empty words!

Miao Lao, being a shrewd person, also understands this point very well.

He knows that once, as Zhang Ran said, their village returns to its previous state and can only rely on manual labor or, like other villages, do some small business, then their village will also quickly become the same as other villages.

It might even be impossible to do small business.

Zhang Ran said expressionlessly: "A dead end? If that is what you think, then let it be a dead end. In the past, when I brought you out of a dead end, I truly never thought about how you would repay me."

"Even regarding everything you did before, I am only taking back what I gave; I will not concern myself with anything else regarding you."

"But you should not have, you absolutely should not have, reached your hands toward my family. This point is unforgivable!" Zhang Ran's tone was cold.

Since returning until now, he, Zhang Ran, has insisted on one bottom line when treating others: whoever dares to touch his family, he will make them finish!

Zhang Ran knows that only in this way, before everything is settled, can he best protect his family; he tells everyone clearly.

His family is his Achilles' heel, and also his bottom line. Whoever wants to use his Achilles' heel must endure his unreserved retaliation.

The people of Tianjia Mountain Village are no exception!

"Zhang Ran, you are trying to force us to our deaths by doing this. In that case, I might as well fight you to the death!" A roar came from the crowd.

Zhang Ran smiled, glanced at them with disdain, and did not speak.

But it was this look that caused the crowd to stir suddenly, and a few hot-tempered people were even about to rush out.

Zhang Ran did not move, just watching them quietly.

However, as soon as these people made a move, they were stopped by Miao Lao. Miao Lao looked at Zhang Ran and said: "Zhang Ran, do you really want to force us to our deaths?"

"If that is what you think, then so be it. And I will tell you, this is only just the beginning." Zhang Ran said lightly.

Once these words were spoken, the already agitated crowd seemed unable to be suppressed any longer at this moment. They had no gratitude toward Zhang Ran to begin with.

Now that Zhang Ran was going to destroy all their current sources of income, they felt even more anger and resentment.

Miao Lao was the same. He did not stop these people again, but the next moment, he saw a strange look in Zhang Ran's eyes and subconsciously shouted: "Come back."

Miao Lao still had some prestige; the few people who had already rushed out stopped in their tracks.

At this time, Miao Lao saw again a flash of disappointment in Zhang Ran's eyes, as if disappointed that they had not rushed over.

Zhang Ran is not afraid of anything now; Xin Man and the others are currently rubbing their fists and wiping their palms.

They also seem to understand now that Tianjia Mountain Village was brought up by Zhang Ran single-handedly. They also know some of the situation; before, they were only envious and jealous, but now that it was their turn, how could they not be excited.

Like Zhang Ran, they were also looking forward to these people rushing out so they could perform in front of Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran saw them stop and knew that these people would not do as he had hoped.

Why did he make this phone call in front of these people just now?

It was to solve this problem once and for all.

However, since they did not act as Zhang Ran had thought, Zhang Ran could only make another phone call.

"Old Xia, apologize to Sister Chang for me; I hope she doesn't blame me." Zhang Ran said just this one sentence, then hung up the phone.

After that, Zhang Ran did not say anything else. When He Yong brought over the lifeless Mu Yuan, he took Liu Lu and left. As for what would happen next, he believed Xia Zhangqing would handle it well.
