CHAPTER 654 MUST GET MY HANDS ON IT

Liu Yang really wanted to cry out loud but couldn't because he didn't want his wife to know.

The neighbors watching and realized what was going on. They didn't expect things to end like this.

They could tell that Jiang Ning and his men didn't want Number 18's mother to be sad, so they all quietly left without saying anything.

Inside the house, Number 18's mother kept wanting to get water for Jiang Ning and get snacks for him, but Jiang Ning stopped her and told her to just sit down and that he would do it.

"Mum, don't worry about me, I'm doing well out there. How is your health?” asked Jiang Ning out of concern.

"I'm very well, I just miss you,” said Number 18's mother with a smile. "I made you some dried pumpkin slices because you love them so much!" "They're outside, I'll get them for you!"

"Mum, sit here, I'll get them myself."

Jiang Ning refused to let her get up and he walked out of the house.

Number 5 was comforting Liu Yang outside.

Jiang Ning walked over and he had a solemn look on his face.

"Uncle, Hui was with me. His departure is my fault, I didn't protect him well."

Number 5 opened his mouth to tell Jiang Ning not to blame himself. They had chosen this path and chose to protect Donghai. They had made this choice themselves. Jiang Ning had taught them so much, so that was already more than enough.

Jiang Ning waved his hand and didn't let Number 5 talk.

"Hui didn't embarrass you at all. He's a hero of Donghai and everybody likes him and respects him. Many children even idolize him."

Liu Yang couldn't say anything. He nodded as he gently caressed the urn in his hands and his body was trembling violently.

"Number 5, send Uncle into the house."

"Got it!"

Jiang Ning walked out of the compound. Brother Gou and some others were stepping on the men who came to make trouble.

"You...do you know who I am?! If you dare to touch me here, you're going to die!"

PAK!

Jiang Ning grabbed his collar and slapped him hard enough to send two teeth flying out.

"You even dare to bully two old folks?" said Jiang Ning coldly. His gaze alone made all of them shiver in fear. It was as if they had fallen into an icy abyss.

"Who...who are you?" the leader of the men still had blood in his mouth as he barely made his words out. "My boss is Zhuang Fen! He calls the shots in this area! Do you know what the consequences of offending him are?!"

PAK!

The only reply he got was another slap from Jiang Ning. This slap really snapped his jaw out of place.

"He calls the shots? I call the shots not just in Donghai but the entire state of Tianhai!"

"Tell your boss to come and see me within the next 30 minutes. If he's late by even one second, not even the gods can save him!"

Jiang Ning didn't say anymore. "Which hand and leg did they use to beat Uncle up? Break them!" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

He didn't care about them after that.

The next thing he heard were bloodcurdling howls of pain.

They sounded like pigs at the slaughterhouse.

Meanwhile.

In the office of a real estate company in Xiancheng.

This office was on a high floor and covered more than 2,000 square feet of space. One side had an indoor hot spring so that one could work and relax at the same time.

A bald man was soaking in the hot spring with a woman coiled around him. She was laughing merrily in his arms.

"Once I get this project, it'll be a few billion worth of profit!" Zhuang Fen's face was smug. "Babe, do you know how big this retirement village is going to be?"

"I don't know, I only know that you...are very big! Really big!"

Her eyes looked flirtatiously at him and her hands started touching him all over.

Zhuang Fen took a deep breath and quickly stopped the woman's hands. If this went on, he could forget about doing anything else for the rest of the day. He had to control himself.

"Time to rest!" he quickly said. "After a soak, I need to rest for a while. I'm getting on in age."

The woman laughed even more merrily.

"Mr Zhuang, that piece of land is really not bad. I went to see it too. The scenery is great and the air is lovely. If you develop that area, you'd definitely attract a lot of people there. You're going to be rolling in money soon!"

"But those villagers don't seem to be willing to move, right?"

Zhuang Fen scoffed, "I've been very nice to them already and offered them a decent price. In the past, there's no way they would have gotten a single cent!"

"I must get that piece of land, no matter what it takes!"
