The root of it all is that man named Bai Hao! Helian Jun rubbed his stomach and walked towards the front hall. When he passed the Pixiu statue, he suddenly felt a chill. He turned around and looked back. Behind him was a cold courtyard and a gate.
Then, just as he turned around to continue walking, something suddenly flew over with a "whoosh," and Helian Jun was hit on the forehead before he could react.
"Ah! Who?!" Helian Jun cried out in pain, clutching his forehead. Looking down, he saw a wooden marble on the ground, as if the object had been launched from a slingshot.
Helian Jun was already furious, and now he looked around for the source of the attack with a dark expression. Qin Nan, of course, didn't have the time to deal with it. The attack was done by Pi Yuan hiding in the corner, and the items were provided by Xuan Yu. If Helian Jun didn't leave, this would be the beginning!
Helian Jun looked around and saw no one was there before continuing on his way. Then he was hit again. This time, he saw a child with a slingshot by the well on the right. Helian Jun glared at the child and rushed over.
Upon seeing this, Pi Yuan immediately slipped through the small gap in the double wooden door into the backyard. Helian Jun didn't think much of it, pushed the door open with a "bang," and then poured a bucket of muddy water down with a "splash."
"Pfft, hahahahaha—"
Qin Nan stood in front of the backyard house with a smile, while the four children clapped and laughed so hard they almost fell over. This water was Teng Xue's handiwork. Of course, it wasn't just mud in it; she had also caught some stink bugs from the vegetable garden soil. Not releasing leeches was already a lenient gesture.
Helian Jun was trembling with anger, and Qin Nan couldn't see his face because it was covered in mud. Watching Helian Jun leave angrily, Qin Nan quickly followed behind and closed the door.
He doesn't need to go out today. He can just stay home with the child and wait until Bai Hao comes back. Anyway, there's enough food. He hopes Helian Jun won't cause him any more trouble. If Qin Nan didn't know some things, he might still believe Helian Jun, or at least he wouldn't be so indifferent. But people's hearts are truly unpredictable!
He overheard Helian Jun's friends chatting, saying that Helian Jun had found a new lover abroad and that Qin Nan was just a fling. Given Helian Jun's wealth, how could he possibly have any feelings for Qin Nan?
Furthermore, he received photos from an unknown sender, showing Helian Jun with a group of people—the same people who had lent money to Qin Nan.
At that time, when Qin Nan tried to borrow money, either no one would lend to him, or he couldn't contact anyone or find them. It was as if he was constantly being blocked. Later, when his grandfather's condition worsened, Qin Nan had no choice but to take out a high-interest loan.
That's why Qin Nan's repayment amount for the next period is so different from what it is now, and there's also a lot of interest involved.
At first, he really didn't want to believe anything, but people always grow up, especially after experiencing the coldness and warmth of human relationships. No one knows how Qin Nan got through that period, including his grandfather.
His only source of emotional support at that time was keeping his grandfather by his side, as he could spend every day with him. His grandfather was his only family member. Others might think it was a burden, but for Qin Nan, his grandfather was his home. If his grandfather were gone, he would be all alone in the world, which would be more devastating than being in debt.
After meeting Bai Hao, Qin Nan felt that he was slowly starting to live like a normal person, and it was a long time since he had lived such a peaceful and tranquil life.
Although Bai Hao and Chi Wei were somewhat special and had experienced things that were previously unimaginable, Qin Nan felt relaxed, which was much brighter than that dark past.
Meanwhile, Bai Hao, who had arrived at the foot of the mountain, was unaware of what had happened at home. Because the mountain was closed, entry was restricted. Under Wang Long's guidance, he was temporarily settled in a hotel in the town at the foot of the mountain. That evening, he and five other companions entered the mountain together.
Bai Hao sat in the hotel waiting for nightfall. He didn't care how many people were with him. Coming to this mountain was just a formality. The source wasn't here, so he would naturally return empty-handed.
Bai Hao didn't like using his phone much, so he watched TV in the hotel until dinner time. He then remembered to explain the situation to Qin Nan, who replied and mentioned something Wang Long had left behind.
Bai Hao frowned and pondered for a moment, then smiled helplessly. He knew what it was, but he didn't tell Qin Nan. He just promised to tell Wang Long.
That evening, Bai Hao arrived at the cordon at the foot of the mountain as agreed. There were already people waiting there, and quite a lot of them.
However, there were six people in the very center: a thin old man, a middle-aged man with a young man, a middle-aged woman, and two young men. Wang Long, Li Yan, and Principal Ming Hongwei were also present next to the six.
"Oh, what a big shot! He has no manners at all!" The middle-aged woman couldn't help but speak as Bai Hao walked over. Bai Hao looked really young and was easily mistaken for a junior, but Bai Hao was too lazy to care. His energy was his own and he couldn't afford to waste it.
"Ahem, Mr. Bai is very punctual. Now that everyone is here, let's all go into the mountains together so we can look out for each other," Ming Hongwei said with a smile. "As you all know, a lot of things have happened before, so I hope you won't let this cause any trouble."
The onlookers were mostly former colleagues who had gone in earlier, as well as those who simply came to broaden their horizons and watch the excitement. They were all discussing the seven people, including Bai Hao.
Bai Hao completely ignored everyone else. As soon as Ming Hongwei pulled up the warning tape, he went in first and slowly went up the mountain.
"Hmph, you brat!" The gaunt old man snorted coldly.
The middle-aged man with the young man beside him stared thoughtfully at Bai Hao's back. He seemed to have seen Bai Hao before.
The six people followed Bai Hao up the mountain. A light mist filled the dark mountain, and the higher they went, the thicker the mist became. Bai Hao walked slowly with the flashlight that Ming Hongwei had provided. He seemed casual, but he avoided the potholes and stayed on the mountain path that had been laid out before.
