Chapter 313: Go and atone for your sins!

While He Lian was crying, Ye Chen had Hong Wu's subordinates drag Qian Hongyan in front of him.

Qian Hongyan was already trembling with fear. Looking at Ye Chen, she wailed, "Ye Chen, I'm your aunt-in-law, you... don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face, after all, you are the son-in-law of our Xiao family, right? Just spare me this one time, how about that?"

Ye Chen gave a laugh and said, "Don't give me that useless talk. First, tell me, how much money do you have now?"

Qian Hongyan felt a tightness in her heart and blurted out, "I have no money... I really have no money!"

Ye Chen said coldly, "I'm giving you a chance to confess voluntarily, you must grasp it well. Otherwise, He Lian is your example."

Qian Hongyan shuddered. In her panic, she kept a trick up her sleeve and hurriedly said, "I... I have 5 million, this is all the family's savings..."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Fine, open your mobile banking, let me see the balance."

Qian Hongyan panicked and said, "I... I don't have mobile banking!"

"Is that so?" Ye Chen said coldly, "If I find mobile banking installed on your phone, watch out, I'll break your legs."

Qian Hongyan shuddered and hurriedly said, "I'll show you, I'll show you..."

After saying this, she hurriedly took out her phone and opened her mobile banking.

Seeing the balance, Qian Hongyan panicked.

This card had over 15 million.

This was all the savings of her and her husband for their whole lives, plus the money Xiao Weiwei got from being Xiao Yiqian's mistress!

Originally, it wasn't in her hands, but in her husband Xiao Changqian's hands.

However, because the old lady kept chasing them for the money, Xiao Changqian hurriedly transferred all the money to her name.

She had originally planned to use this money to buy a house.

But when she went to look at houses last time, she ran into Ma Lan and was mocked mercilessly by her.

So she gave up the idea of buying a house and decided to scam Ma Lan's money and villa first, and then buy a good one when she had money.

However, if Ye Chen knew she had 15 million, he definitely wouldn't leave her a single cent...

Just when she didn't know what to do, Ye Chen snatched the phone and looked closely, frowning: "Didn't you say you only had 5 million?"

Qian Hongyan cried, "Ye Chen, this is the savings of our family of four! The Xiao family is about to be finished, the old lady's villa will soon be repossessed, and we were counting on this money to buy a house..."

As she spoke, she added pitifully, "Hailong hasn't gotten married yet, Weiwei hasn't gotten married either, this is the last bit of savings for our family of four plus the old lady..."

Ye Chen sneered, "What does that have to do with me? Don't say I didn't give you a way out. If you donate this 15 million now, I'll spare your life today. Otherwise, I'll have Hong Wu sink you into the river right now, you choose!"

Qian Hongyan looked at the fierce Master Hong Wu and felt a tightness in her heart. Terrified, she said, "I'll donate! I'll donate! Spare my life, I'll donate all the money!"

After saying this, she immediately used her phone to transfer all the over 15 million in savings to Project Hope.

Ye Chen was satisfied and said, "Alright, since you're so sensible, I'll spare your life."

Qian Hongyan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Ye Chen, can you let me go now?"

"Let you go?" Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I only said I'd spare your life, I didn't say you could leave!"

"Ah?!" Qian Hongyan said in panic, "I've donated all 15 million..."

"So what?" Ye Chen said coldly, "You were the one who instigated and directed today's matter. There's no reason to let He Lian take the punishment for you alone, right?"

"That's right!" He Lian cursed angrily, "She is the real mastermind!"

Ye Chen looked at Qian Hongyan and smiled, "Your accomplice says you're the mastermind, so you have to go with your old partner to the black coal mine to dig coal and continue contributing to Project Hope."

After saying this, he pointed at another woman named Niu Guimin and said, "And you, the three of you, go to the black coal mine together to work and atone for your sins."

Niu Guimin was scared and wailed, kowtowing while saying, "I'm innocent, I was just asked by He Lian to make up the numbers for mahjong, I didn't harm anyone!"

Ye Chen said coldly, "You think I'll believe you? If you're sensible and stop whining, I'll spare the others in your household register. Otherwise, you'll be like He Lian, and your whole family will go to dig coal together!"

When Niu Guimin heard this, she trembled violently. Although she was terrified, she really didn't dare to whine anymore.

Ye Chen then said to Master Hong Wu, "Hong Wu, today these small thugs, including He Huaqiang, one by one, break one of their legs and send them to the black coal mine to work. Give them the worst accommodation and food, pay them 2,000 a month, and they work all year round!"

After saying this, he added sternly, "For these people, those who work hard and work overtime consciously will be given a slight raise, and those who don't work hard and slack off will have their wages deducted accordingly. Anyway, for each of them, when they have donated 300,000 to Project Hope through their work, only then will they be free!"

2,000 a month is 24,000 a year. To save up 300,000, it will take over ten years.

Even if it's 3,000 a month, 36,000 a year, it will still take over eight or nine years to save up 300,000.

Ye Chen felt that since these people were also part of this gambling game, they should naturally atone for those who were ruined by gambling.

And even more so, atone for those children who dropped out of school at a young age and experienced all kinds of suffering because of their parents' gambling.

Letting them go to the black coal mine to dig coal and donate money is the best punishment for them.

Upon hearing this, Hong Wu immediately said, "Okay, Master Ye, I'll have someone arrange a bus and send them all over!"

Ye Chen said, "For the small thugs locked inside, break one of their legs before they get on the bus, so they don't disobey or try to escape when they get to the black coal mine."

Hong Wu immediately said, "Master Ye, don't worry. I'll break one of their legs first. When they get there, they'll be chained up when they work, eat, go to the bathroom, and even sleep. Not one of them will be able to escape!"

"Good." Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Qian Hongyan cried, "Ye Chen, you can't let me dig coal for a lifetime... I still have a husband and children to take care of, and a mother-in-law to support..."

Ye Chen said indifferently, "That's simple. You're the same as these people. You'll be free when you've saved up 300,000 in donations through your work."

Qian Hongyan broke down and wailed, "Ye Chen, you can't be so heartless, Ye Chen. You have to know, we're all family!"

Ye Chen asked her back, "When you were scamming my mother-in-law, why were you so heartless? Why didn't you think we were family then?"

"That's right!"

Ma Lan, who had been silent, shouted in a rage, "Qian Hongyan, you heartless dog, you even scammed me, and now you say we're family?"

Qian Hongyan knelt in front of her, crying and begging, "Sister-in-law, all the faults are my fault, but I am your sister-in-law after all, just spare me this one time!"

Ma Lan kicked her to the ground and cursed, "You scammed me out of over 2 million in savings, and that wasn't enough, you wanted to scam my house, and after scamming my house, you wanted to scam my villa. You're forcing my family of four to a dead end! Do you have any conscience, any humanity left?"

Speaking of this, Ma Lan suddenly came to her senses, slapped her thigh, and roared miserably, "Oh my, my money!" ===== CHAPTER 314 =====
