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 trembling with fear. Looking at Ye Chen, she wailed, "Ye Chen, I'm your aunt-in-law. You... you should show some respect for the family, right? You're the son-in-law of our Xiao family, aren't you? Why don't you spare me this once?"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "Don't give me that useless talk. Tell me first, how much money do you have now?"

Qian Hongyan's heart tightened, and she blurted out, "I don't have money... I really don't have 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 shivered. In her panic, she kept a trick up her sleeve and hurriedly said, "I... I have 5 million here. This is all the family's savings..."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Fine, open your mobile bank and 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 out you have mobile banking installed on your phone, watch out, I'll break your legs."

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

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

Seeing the balance, Qian Hongyan panicked.

There was over 15 million in this card.

This was the savings of her and her husband for their whole lives, plus the money Xiao Weiwei earned as a mistress for Xiao Yiqian!

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

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

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

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

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, looked at it, and frowned: "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, and the old lady's villa will soon be repossessed. We were counting on this money to buy a house..."

As she spoke, she said pitifully, "Hailong hasn't gotten married yet, and Weiwei hasn't married out either. This is the last bit of foundation for our family of four plus the old lady..."

Ye Chen snorted coldly: "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 that, she immediately used her phone to transfer all the 15 million in savings to Project Hope.

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

Qian Hongyan finally 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 a panic, "I've already donated all 15 million..."

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

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

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

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

Niu Guimin was scared and wailed, "I'm innocent, I was just brought over by He Lian to play 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 registration. Otherwise, you'll be just like He Lian, and your whole family will go 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, all these small-time thugs today, including He Huaqiang, one by one, send them all to the black coal mine to work. Give them the worst accommodation and food, pay them 2, 00 a month, and they work all year round!"

After saying this, he said sternly, "For these people, those who work hard and work overtime voluntarily, give them a small raise. For those who don't work hard and slack off, deduct their wages. Anyway, for each of them, when they have donated 300, 00 to Project Hope through their work, only then can they be allowed to leave!"

2, 00 a month is 24, 00 a year. Saving up 300, 00 takes over ten years.

Even if it's 3, 00 a month, 36, 00 a year, saving up 300, 00 still takes about eight or nine years.

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

They also had to atone for the children who dropped out of school and experienced all kinds of suffering because their parents gambled.

Sending them to dig coal in a black coal mine to donate money is the best punishment for them.

Hong Wu heard this and immediately said, "Okay, Master Ye, I'll arrange the buses and send them all over!"

Ye Chen said, "For the 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 run away!"

"Good." Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Qian Hongyan cried, "Ye Chen, you can't make 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 lightly, "That's simple. Just like these people, when you've saved up 300, 00 in donations through your work, you'll be free."

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?"

"Exactly!"

Ma Lan, who had been silent, shouted angrily, "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 mistakes are my fault, but I'm still your sister-in-law after all. Please spare me this once!"

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 our house, and after scamming our house, you wanted to scam our villa. You're forcing our family of four onto a dead end! Do you have any conscience, any humanity?"

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