On this day, a piece of news caused a sensation in Xihan Ridge. Han Tianliang, Han Li, Zheng Min, Jiang Fei, Qu Qianfan, and others, who were the core members around Zhao Xinyu, each received a red envelope of 50,000 yuan, while others working at the pickled radish factory and the farm restaurant received red envelopes of 8,000 yuan.
A villager calculated that for the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits alone, Zhao Xinyu spent at least one million yuan.
On the evening of August 14th, the farm restaurant was not open to the public. Everyone from the pickled radish factory, the farm restaurant, and those looking after the Luoshui River gathered at the farm restaurant.
When the last dish, a braised carp, was served, and Zhao Xinyu, Zheng Min, and others appeared, the entire hall erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Seeing the excited Han Li and others, Zhao Xinyu briefly spoke a few words and then walked to the two boxes he had brought, opening them.
"Damn, this is special supply liquor and cigarettes. Xinyu, did you rob some high official? I heard that a box of these special supply cigarettes can't be bought for a thousand yuan. Leave the cigarette boxes and liquor boxes for me," Han Li exclaimed, looking at the special supply cigarettes and liquor that Zhao Xinyu had placed on the table.
"Xinyu, how can they not be fake with so many of them?" Han Li asked with a hint of doubt as each table received two bottles of special supply liquor and two boxes of special supply cigarettes.
"Try them and you'll know if they're fake or not."
"I'll try first," Han Li opened a box and took a cigarette. He saw that there were no markings on it, and the tobacco was golden and uniformly sized.
He lit it and took a deep puff, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Zhao Xinyu, "They're real. Do you have more at home? Give me a box to show off."
As soon as he spoke, Han Jun, Huang Zhijun, Wang Yulong, Lu Ming, and others at his table immediately lit up one each.
"I have a few boxes at home. I'll give them to you when you come over later."
"You must really know some high official, right? This stuff is all special supply. Even provincial officials only get a few every year."
"Just eat your meal. Why so many words?"
For everyone present, the past half year had been unforgettable. They, like Zheng Min's family, never imagined that their lives would change so dramatically in just half a year.
Because of this, everyone was very relaxed during the meal, even those who didn't usually drink had a small cup.
After a few rounds of drinks, Han Li patted Zhao Xinyu, who was sitting next to him, "Xinyu, come to our house tomorrow for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you won't be alone."
As soon as he said this, the hall fell silent. They knew about Zhao Xinyu's situation—his grandfather had passed away, and Zhao Xinyu was indeed alone. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunions, and many hadn't thought about Zhao Xinyu being alone.
"Come to my house."
"No, Xinyu hasn't been to my house yet. He must come to our house tomorrow."
...
Seeing his brothers arguing heatedly, Zhao Xinyu's eyes flickered, "How about this: tomorrow, let's all gather here again, and we'll have a lively celebration together."
The hall fell silent for a moment, then burst into enthusiastic applause.
After the applause, Han Jun stood up and looked at everyone, "Today, our lives have changed because of Xinyu. Xinyu often tells us to be grateful. Let's all raise a glass to Xinyu. Come early tomorrow."
Just as everyone was toasting, a group of uninvited guests, armed with sticks, burst into the courtyard. They all wore hats and masks, exposing only their eyes. They broke into the courtyard and set up a net to catch Heifeng, who was guarding the house.
Heifeng wouldn't let them catch him. Initially, he just dodged, trampling large patches of vegetables. Heifeng used the vegetable fields to evade their nets and, with his powerful body, knocked out at least five or six people.
Seeing they couldn't catch Heifeng, the group became vicious. The masked man who was directing them issued an order, "Kill him."
Heifeng could dodge, but he couldn't avoid the continuous blows from the sticks. This enraged Heifeng, and by the time he was lying in the vegetable field, covered in blood and barely alive, at least twenty of the thirty attackers had been injured by him.
The vegetable fields were littered with signs of the struggle, and there were pools of blood, both from Heifeng and the attackers.
"Take the computer host out."
These people loaded the computer host and the injured onto their vehicles, "Is there anything else at home?"
"Nothing, just some household appliances and a few old wine jars, but there are two special items."
"What are they?"
"Special supply cigarettes and liquor, quite a lot, three boxes."
"Take them back and check. They're probably fake, but they can fool some people."
"Start a fire."
As the flames rose, the farm restaurant quickly noticed the abnormality. When a group rushed back to the courtyard, Zhao Xinyu saw that the nearby villagers were already putting out the fire, but Heifeng was nowhere to be seen.
Soon, a villager found Heifeng, covered in blood and barely alive, in the vegetable field. In a rage, Zhao Xinyu immediately began to treat Heifeng.
Fire trucks and police cars arrived, and while Zhao Xinyu was busy treating Heifeng, Han Li and others were being questioned.
At dawn, Zhao Xinyu sighed with relief. He didn't care much about the state of his home; Heifeng was his partner, his family, and he didn't want to see him hurt.
If it weren't for others, Zhao Xinyu would have already put Heifeng into the space, but now he could only rely on his medical skills. Fortunately, he had the space water, which gave the barely alive Heifeng a glimmer of life.
"Xinyu, the surveillance host was taken away, and they left no traces. The police are already collecting evidence in the area. I'm sure they'll have results soon," Han Tianliang said, looking at Zhao Xinyu, who was sitting by Heifeng's side.
Zhao Xinyu smiled bitterly but didn't speak. He knew that if they dared to break into his home so brazenly, they must have been well-prepared, making it difficult to investigate them.
"Xinyu, the place is burned. Come to my house. I'll have people come to clean up in the morning," Han Jun said, frowning.
"Han Jun, you go back first. Heifeng has many broken bones and can't be moved. I'll stay here and watch over him."
"Xinyu, they're after you. If they come back..."
"Given the state of things, they won't come back. You go back first. There's a lot to do tomorrow..."
After everyone left, Zhao Xinyu's eyes flashed with a cold light. He was truly angry. The repeated tolerance had led to this.
He locked the front door, put Heifeng into the space, and went to the burned and dilapidated room. Seeing that the Linglong Zui was still there, he put it into the space. He then went to the grape arbor....
In a luxury suite of a five-star hotel, Hu Zhenyu was drinking alone, facing a large table of dishes, his expression calm.
As the door to the suite opened, a fat and a thin man entered. The thin one was a young man in his mid-twenties, with deep scars on his face and a fierce look in his eyes, clearly a ruthless character.
The fat one was a middle-aged man. If Zhao Xinyu were in the suite, he would immediately recognize him as Ma Shangxing, who had led the urban management team to extort money from him last time.
"Zhang Mingkui, did you catch the dog?"
"That dog was too fierce. I took thirty brothers, and seventeen were injured. Following Hu Shao's instructions, we beat the dog. No one dared to go near it because it was too fierce, but it's unlikely to survive."
Hu Zhenyu sighed, "What a good dog, what a pity. Did you get anything else?"
"About half the vegetable field was destroyed. There were some fake cigarettes and liquor at home. I brought the computer host back when I left. I set the house on fire, and everything was done cleanly. I've taken care of a few places, so they won't find anything."
"Fake cigarettes and liquor, what fake cigarettes and liquor? If there are a lot, we can send him to jail for a few days. The brothers inside will give him a warm welcome."
