"I've seen them too; these three often go in and out of Hu Laosan's house!" The others recognized them as well.

The three thugs hung their heads on their bellies, not daring to raise their heads, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, fearing that these angry people would use vigilante justice against them!

Ye Qingqing had a sudden idea and said loudly, "They also said they would take pictures of me and use the photos to get money from my dad!"

The three thugs were filled with bitterness and contemplation, and some even wished they were dead.

Ye Zhiguo's face was gloomy. Ever since Ye Qingqing beat Hu Laosan's wife and children, he had been waiting for Hu Laosan to come to his door, but Hu Laosan never showed up. He never expected that this bastard would come up with such a despicable method.

He certainly didn't care about Ye Qingqing's reputation, but for the next three years, he had to play the role of a loving father. If Hu Laosan really took a picture of that girl, he would have no choice but to comply!

Hu Laosan has a huge appetite; a small amount of money certainly won't satisfy him. He'll need at least a thousand. And if the negatives are in his hands, Hu Laosan definitely won't just satisfy him once or twice. For at least three years, he'll have no choice but to let Hu Laosan blackmail him!

Ye Zhiguo grew increasingly furious and kicked the three thugs hard. He was tall and strong, and in his anger, he used all his strength. The three thugs cried out in pain and begged for mercy.

"We can't let them get away with this. I could tell they weren't good people during the day. If we let them go this time, they'll just do more bad things in the future!" Everyone was furious and surprisingly agreed on one thing: they would teach them a lesson first, and then call the police to arrest them.

The three thugs, in unbearable pain, confessed to Ye Hua, "It was your son who made us do it, otherwise why would we be eating the grass next to our own nest!"

Ye Qingqing's lips curled slightly, her eyes filled with mockery; this was exactly what she had been waiting for!

Now let's see how Ye Zhiguo will protect that little bastard Ye Hua!

"Say it again, what son?" The old lady, with her sharp ears, rushed over and questioned her.

"Your son, that burden of yours, he told us to teach this girl a lesson. He just ran over and said your granddaughter went out to buy something, otherwise how would we have known!" The three thugs confessed everything to Ye Hua.

"Grandma, why would Ye Hua want to harm me? He eats our food, lives in our house, and even stole my and Xiaotong's father. What more could he possibly want? He even conspired with bad people outside to harm me, and in such a treacherous and despicable way..."

Ye Qingqing bit her tongue hard, her eyes immediately reddened, and she squeezed out a few tears, sobbing mournfully.

The old lady's face was terribly gloomy. She never expected that Ye Hua, that little beast, would have had a hand in it. She was just a hair's breadth away from letting that little beast succeed!

Ye Zhiguo was also taken aback, but his first reaction was that he had to protect Ye Hua.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Are you trying to sow discord?" Ye Zhiguo shouted.

Ye Qingqing, with her head down, sneered silently. She was determined to make a big scene, and she wouldn't let Ye Zhiguo get away with it so easily!

"Grandma... Ye Hua bullied me to the point of shitting on my head, and Dad still protected him. If Mom were still alive, she definitely wouldn't let this family bully me..."

Ye Qingqing bit her tongue again, tears welling up in her eyes. Thinking of her parents who died tragically, Xiao Tong whose heart was ripped out by these beasts in her previous life, and her suffering in prison... her heart ached, and tears flowed more and more!

"They say that with a stepmother comes a stepfather, and it's true! Ye Hua tried to ruin my reputation, and you're still protecting him, Dad. My mother will never rest in peace..."

Ye Zhiguo felt a chill run down his spine and looked at Ye Qingqing, his eyes turning sharp.
