After Guo Tao finished speaking, he circled around him with a curious look and said with amusement, "Hey, this guy looks pretty much like us, but I didn't expect him to be a foreigner."

He started speaking in bird language; can any of you understand it?

Those who came with Guo Tao were actually the larger employees selected from the transportation and construction teams.

Upon hearing Guo Tao's words, they all burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, this thing is clearly a Chinese person, but he is speaking gibberish and pretending to be a foreigner on Chinese soil."

Are they looking at us like we were decades ago, afraid to lay a hand on foreigners, or what?

As a soldier, Liu Hongjun felt extreme disgust for Xia Zicheng, who, despite having Chinese blood, was a Western-worshipping scoundrel.

His sharp gaze immediately locked onto Xia Zicheng, and he cracked his knuckles.

"This fake foreigner thinks we're still the same as we were decades ago! Perfect, let's use our fists to show him today that China is no longer the China that was bullied by everyone decades ago."

We Chinese people have now stood up! We are not afraid of foreigners, and we are even less afraid of this fake foreigner!

"Yes! Let's help this foreign-worshipping idiot remember who his ancestors really were!"

...

Liu Hongjun's words immediately received a response from everyone.

He saw a group of muscular, burly men surrounding him.

Xia Zicheng turned pale with fright.

The reason he deliberately spoke English was because he thought Chinese people were weak and wouldn't dare to mess with him after they knew he had returned from abroad.

Unexpectedly, people in China today not only dare to provoke him, a man from the United States, but also harbor great hatred towards him.

He saw Guo Tao and Liu Hongjun and their group approaching him.

He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and even wanted to kneel down before them.

Just as he was thinking that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle and was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, he suddenly saw Xia Yuntao return from outside.

He seemed to see a lifeline, waving his hand at Xia Yuntao and shouting, "Help! Grandpa, help!"

"These robbers not only want to steal our things, but they also want to attack me!"

Xia Zicheng shouted at Xia Yuntao.

Xia Yuntao's expression also changed visibly. He quickly walked up to Xia Zicheng, looked at Guo Tao angrily, and said, "Comrade Guo, what are you doing? Your boss sent you to move things and take possession of the house, but he never said you could hit people!"

"Let me tell you, if you dare to touch my grandson, don't blame me for not giving your boss any face. I'll call the police!"

Guo Tao, with a nonchalant and roguish air, said, "Grandpa Xia, we are all people who follow the rules."

I didn't want to lay a hand on my grandson, but you know, many of my brothers are retired from the military.

"Back then, when foreigners trampled on our land and slaughtered our compatriots, my brothers were all filled with patriotic fervor. But he insisted on speaking gibberish and pretending to be a foreigner in front of us, which is why my brothers couldn't help but want to take action."

Xia Yuntao turned around and glared at Xia Zicheng.

He quickly explained in a kind and gentle tone, "Comrade Guo, you've misunderstood. My grandson doesn't look down on Chinese people. He just grew up abroad and only came back a couple of days ago, so he hasn't gotten used to speaking Mandarin yet."

"I see..." Guo Tao deliberately lit a cigarette and said in a roguish manner, "Old man, I see you're getting on in years, it's not easy for you, so we won't hold your son against you this time."

But you'd better teach him a lesson. When he comes back, he needs to follow the rules of our country. Speaking such a foreign language all day and pretending to be a foreigner will only get him beaten up sooner or later.

Xia Yuntao quickly agreed.

Guo Tao then led his men to continue moving things.

Xia Zicheng had previously complained that the house was full of junk and nothing of value.

But in his heart, even if these things were junk, they were still his junk.

Seeing that Guo Tao and his group had taken their belongings, he suddenly became anxious. "Grandpa, what's going on? Who are they? Why are they taking our things?"

"well!"

Xia Yuntao sighed heavily and said, "Zicheng, you went to rest as soon as you came back that day. Grandpa didn't have time to tell you that all of our family's things, including this house, have been used by Grandpa to pay off debts."

"Pay off debts!?" Xia Zicheng repeated the two words in disbelief; he couldn't even believe his own ears.

"Old man, are you kidding me? I heard you've made over a billion yuan in the years since you came back. Now you're telling me you've used all this junk and this house to pay off your debts?"

Xia Yuntao found Xia Zicheng's shocked and furious expression, and the word "old man" particularly grating.

My heart ached sharply, and a sense of desolation rose within me.

Xia Yuntao was shrewd all his life, but the grandson he raised turned out to be such a bad person!

However, this unfilial son's words also illustrate a point.

That means someone deliberately revealed to him that he had assets in China, in order to lure him back.

But whose reach is so far, and why bring this unfilial son back?

Xia Yuntao suppressed his doubts and looked at Xia Zicheng, asking incredulously, "Zicheng, where did you hear that? Do you know that the average salary in China is only a little over two hundred yuan a month?"

"Do you really think your grandpa, at my age, could be that capable of making billions in just a few years after coming back?"

Xia Zicheng didn't doubt Xia Yuntao's words.

Disappointed, he slumped onto the sofa, exclaiming, "It's over, it's really over! I've been scammed!"

Xia Yuntao then sat down next to Xia Zicheng.

The old, dry hand gently patted Xia Zicheng's hand. "Zicheng, it's good that you're back. Right now, the country is in a period of rebuilding. If we, grandfather and grandson, work hard, our Xia family will be able to make a comeback sooner or later."

Xia Zicheng abruptly shook off Xia Yuntao's hand.

Xia Yuntao was almost slapped in the face.

Guo Tao and Liu Hongjun, who were standing nearby, almost couldn't resist stepping forward to give him a good beating because he showed no respect for Old Master Xia.
