"Child, what are you doing? The officers have their reasons for doing this. It's good enough that we're back safely."
Upon seeing this, the old man quickly wiped away the boy's tears before saying with a sorrowful expression, "This child's father had his leg broken by those people, so he harbors deep resentment. I hope you will forgive him, sir."
Upon hearing this, the squad leader, who was about to lash out, froze instantly, speechless for a moment.
Yun Hongcheng spoke up, "It's not that I don't want to deal with those people, but they are all vicious and ruthless. If a conflict breaks out, we will be the ones who suffer."
“Yes, child, this old man is right. It’s not worth fighting these people.” The old man said to the boy.
"But does that mean Father should just be bullied like that?"
The boy's eyes were filled with hatred and resentment. "And the other uncles and aunts in the village, their families are almost starving to death too!"
Hearing this, Yun Zhourong couldn't help but ask, "They're so brazenly blocking the road and demanding money, doesn't the government do anything about it?"
The old man shook his head and sighed, "Many people went to report it to the authorities before, but when they heard that it was bandits from this area of the plank road, they all gave up."
"That's right, the government doesn't care at all." The boy clenched his fists angrily.
"This plank road is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the bandits are cunning. If the government angers them without absolute certainty and they become the target of their attacks, it will be very difficult to carry out its mission in the future."
At this moment, Yun Hongcheng analyzed, "It's not that the government doesn't want to manage it, but that they are willing but unable to."
"Then...do we just have to let them continue to do evil?"
Yun Zhourong said angrily, "I just saw a big bag on the ground. I guess they snatched it from passersby. Life is already hard enough. With so much food being taken away, how are the villagers supposed to survive?"
"Yun Doctor, we know you are kind and benevolent, but these are not things we can concern ourselves with. Let's go."
The squad leader glanced gratefully at Yun Hongcheng, then shook his head and continued leading the team.
"Exactly, all you do is pretend to be kind," Yun Mingzhu said sarcastically.
"It's you who should stop making sarcastic remarks!" Yun Mingyuan immediately retorted, defending his own.
"Hey, you sickly brat, how dare you talk to your older sister like that? Be careful you don't shorten your lifespan!" Yun Mingzhu said viciously as soon as she heard this.
"You're the one who's shortening your lifespan! My Xiaoyuan's illness is almost cured, and he'll definitely live longer than you!" Zhao Shi retorted angrily.
"Hahaha, that sickly guy, he looks like he's half-dead..."
Yun Mingzhu originally wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but after staring at Yun Mingyuan's face for a while, she suddenly stopped talking.
Yes, without anyone noticing, the sickly man's complexion had become rosy, and he even seemed to have gained quite a bit of weight.
Although the main branch of the family didn't go hungry along the way, they all lost weight because they couldn't eat or sleep well.
Given Yun Mingyuan's constitution, his condition should have worsened long ago, leaving him half-dead.
However, not only did he not get into trouble, but he also seemed to be getting healthier.
What on earth is going on?!
Not only Yun Mingzhu, but Qin Shi also noticed it, and a cold, resentful glint flashed in her eyes.
That damned little bastard actually got better?! How is that possible?!
Damn it, he's so tough!
Back then, she was afraid that Yun Hongcheng was so smart that having a son would pose a threat to Yun Mingxuan, so she tampered with Zhao's food to try to make her miscarry.
I didn't want to, but I still gave birth to the child.
Fortunately, he had always been in poor health, so she was relieved, thinking that the sickly man posed no threat.
Unexpectedly, the sickly boy later recovered.
So she tried every means to get the tuberculosis patient's things for him to use, which finally ruined his health again.
I thought this time I could finally get rid of the problem once and for all, since tuberculosis is an incurable disease and I could only wait to die.
But now, how long has it been since this little bastard coughed?
He looks more and more energetic, it's obvious that he's recovered!
It's so strange. He was on the verge of death before, but suddenly he got better.
Strange, there must be something strange about this!
"What, speechless now!" Yun Mingyuan raised his chin smugly, then stole a glance at Ji Minxiu.
His illness was personally treated by the Snow Demon, so naturally the medicine cured him completely!
"Hmph, who knows if it's just a last gasp before death? Let's see how long you can be so smug!" Yun Mingzhu cursed.
"Enough! If you keep making noise, you'll all be punished!" At this point, the foreman couldn't stand it anymore and shouted.
"I…"
Yun Mingzhu was indignant. The second branch of the family had also been arguing earlier, but the bailiffs remained silent until it was her turn to intervene.
This is clearly favoritism!
However, after seeing the whip in the bailiff's hand, she ultimately chose to remain silent.
"Don't worry, I have a way."
Ji Minxiu, seeing Yun Zhourong's worried expression, gently patted his hand.
"Really?" Yun Zhourong's eyes lit up instantly.
"Mm." Ji Minxiu nodded with a smile.
With Ji Minxiu's assurance, Yun Zhourong finally felt relieved, believing that he would never make empty promises.
Halfway there, the grandfather and grandson arrived at the village first.
Looking at those villagers, they were all skin and bones from hunger, and they were very pitiful.
Upon arriving at the inn, they booked single rooms, ate a meal, and then the group gathered together to discuss matters.
"You intend to storm the thief's den alone!" Upon hearing this, Old Madam Yun couldn't help but raise her voice.
"Shh!"
Seeing this, everyone quickly made a shushing gesture.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, but this is really too dangerous. Those people just now didn't look like good people!" Old Madam Yun said worriedly.
“Mother, it’s precisely because they are not good people that they need to be eliminated, otherwise the people here will have to live in constant fear,” Yun Hongcheng said. “Now that the Snow Demon is willing to help us, this is a good thing!”
"Then... then what does Lady Snow Demon intend to do?" Old Madam Yun was only worried about her son, and was not unreasonable, so she agreed.
"I just went down and asked the postman, and confirmed that those bandits were indeed wicked and deserved to die, so we don't need to feel guilty about dealing with them."
Yun Zhourong then said, "In addition, we also know the approximate hiding place of those bandits. It's just that the location is dangerous, which is why we haven't been able to deal with it. But Lord Xueyao will take us there, and then we can use the weapons he brought to wipe out those bandits in one fell swoop."
"What kind of weapon is it?" Upon hearing this, the group became curious.
"You'll see when the time comes. I'm going back first. You wait here. I'll have someone prepare some things and I'll be right back." After saying that, Ji Minxiu disappeared on the spot.
"this…"
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that the Snow Demon was treating them less and less like outsiders.
This sudden disappearance must have been quite a test of my nerves!
After returning to the villa, Ji Minxiu immediately called his assistant Lin and asked him to prepare guns and explosives.
The Ji Group's businesses span many sectors, including mines and shooting clubs, so they have access to explosives and firearms.
