The bomb buried at shaft number five had detonated successfully, but the explosives at shaft number three were not detonated in time because someone entered temporarily.
What? A woman with furrowed brows stood with her back to the window. Someone went in? Who?
It should be Xia Qingtian.
Then you really should have blown her up too! The woman gritted her teeth. That bitch ruined my son to this extent; I wouldn't be satisfied even if she were blown to bits!
The woman turned around angrily, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
If Xia Qingtian were here, she would immediately recognize this woman as the mother of that pair of "cursed mother and son" who appeared at the Yue family's patriarch's birthday banquet – Yue Lan.
We were only paid for blowing up the mine; if human lives are involved, the price changes. The person seemed hesitant. However, when I left, I took a look. Shaft number three also suffered damage, and a collapse occurred. If she's lucky, she should be crushed to death.
Good! If she dies, I'll give you another million! Yue Lan said sinisterly. Is that mine completely ruined now?
What she can't have, no one else should ever get!
If shafts five and three had detonated simultaneously, that mine would definitely have been ruined, but now... The other party paused, not continuing.
Useless! Good for nothing! Yue Lan immediately became dissatisfied upon hearing this. The money I gave you was to completely destroy that mine!
Your information was wrong. I'm the one who handles blasting mines. You owe me for causing me to be responsible for a death, and I haven't settled the score with you yet! Hearing Yue Lan's scolding, the other party also got angry. Hurry up and transfer the remaining payment to me; I need to escape!
Remaining payment? The mine wasn't destroyed, and that bitch's fate is still unknown. How dare you ask me for the remaining payment? Let me tell you! If that bitch dies, I won't owe you a cent. If that bitch doesn't die, you can die! Yue Lan angrily hung up the phone.
What? Hello? Hello! The person, whose phone call was hung up, cursed angrily. Bitch! How dare you betray me! Damn it!
The person, in a fit of rage, raised his hand to smash his phone. Just as his hand holding the phone was raised, it was firmly gripped by another iron hand.
The bodyguard who had been chasing him for a long time finally stepped forward and apprehended the man after recording the incriminating evidence. With a dislocated joint pressure, he subdued him, brought him back to the mine, and threw him before Lei Sanshao.
Meanwhile, Yue Lan, who had hung up the phone, gnashed her teeth in anger. She felt extremely frustrated that the mine hadn't been destroyed, yet she harbored a sliver of hope that Xia Qingtian would be blown up. She let out sinister cold laughs intermittently and her face turned red with anger from time to time.
Coupled with the hoarse cries from upstairs, it became even more sinister and eerie.
At this moment, another call came in. Yue Lan immediately answered it with great respect, looking at the caller ID: "Dad."
Mm, did you hear about the mine incident? A voice of an elderly man came from the other end of the phone.
I heard. Yue Lan's eyelids twitched, and her eyes showed a hint of guilt. Dad, what's wrong?
Ever since Yue Changshan took over as the head of the Yue family, the Yue family has been declining more than ever. The business in recent years has been dismal. Although I no longer want to manage the affairs of the Yue family, this Yue family patriarch, Yue Changshan, is no longer fit to be it.
Dad! You mean! Yue Lan's eyes lit up. Was her father finally going to make a move?
She had always felt that Yue Changshan was not fit to be the patriarch of the Yue family. If not for the old patriarch's incompetence and favoritism, how could it have been Yue Changshan's turn!
Now that he has even harmed his own granddaughter to death, I think it would be best to let him give up his ambitions early, lest he end up implicating the entire Yue family. The old man on the other end of the phone said coldly. Gather your son, and let's go to the Yue family together with your brother to set things right!
Alright! Yue Lan became excited upon hearing her father's words.
See!
In terms of courage, her lineage was truly the most capable.
It was the grandfather's mistake that Yue Changshan's branch was able to become the head of the Yue family and the main branch of the Yue family. It was the grandfather's favoritism that caused them to be wrong for so many years.
Now, she was about to witness firsthand her father and brother set things right and reclaim what rightfully belonged to their branch!
Thinking of this, Yue Lan excitedly called her brother. Her brother's mood was clearly the same as hers. The siblings coordinated their times and then prepared separately.
After hanging up her brother's call, Yue Lan stomped upstairs and knocked on Yu Yueqiang's door: Yue Qiang, let's go to the Yue family quickly!
Why are we going to the Yue family? Yu Yueqiang, who was only wrapped in a bath towel, had a bloated figure. In his left hand, he held a thin rattan cane, and in his right hand, a bronze candlestick. Under his feet was a bound young woman whose entire body was covered in bruises.
Her hair was messy, her face was bruised, and her front teeth seemed to have been broken to prevent her from biting her tongue to commit suicide. As soon as she opened her mouth, blood trickled out.
She looked in Yue Lan's direction, and her eyes suddenly lit up. With a hoarse voice, she whimpered for help.
You! How did you get the "goods" like this again! Yue Lan looked at the woman and frowned with disdain and disgust.
What does it matter? That line was ruined by that bitch Wen Jiu anyway. This batch of "goods" will be useless sooner or later. Instead of letting them die and throwing them into the sea, it's better to pick out a few pretty ones for me to play with. It's just making use of waste. Yu Yueqiang sneered indifferently, his expression becoming increasingly cruel.
Then you also... Yue Lan was about to say something when Yu Yueqiang interrupted her.
I'm already a cripple, what's wrong with playing with a few women! Do you also look down on me for being a cripple! Yu Yueqiang suddenly turned hostile. The Yu family's business doesn't have my share, and everyone is mocking me behind my back. My secret channel was also ruined by that bastard Wen Jiu. Now, what's wrong with using a few useless goods to vent my anger!
Alright, alright, alright! Mom won't say it anymore! As long as you're happy! Seeing Yu Yueqiang's temper flare up, Yue Lan immediately softened her stance. Mom is just worried you'll get sick from the dirty goods! Let me tell you some good news, the Yue family's mine was blown up!
So what if it exploded? It's not the first time. Yu Yueqiang said indifferently.
This time is different. Xia Qingtian was underground. Her life or death is unknown. Yue Lan's eyes shone with excitement.
Really? Yu Yueqiang's eyes also lit up, and he immediately stepped over the woman under his feet and walked quickly towards Yue Lan. She's definitely dead this time, right!
More or less. Yue Lan looked at her son with heartache, wiping away the bloodstains on his cheek that didn't belong to him. My poor darling, if that bitch hadn't harmed you, you wouldn't have suffered so much.
If Yu Yueqiang hadn't become a cripple, Uncle Yu Er wouldn't have handed over that secret channel to Yu Yueqiang for handling. If she hadn't been more careful, perhaps her precious son would have been captured by Wen Jiu.
Why didn't those two shots kill that bitch Wen Jiu!
It's too good for her to die just like that! I say, she should be made to taste my power! Yu Yueqiang's expression contorted, and his eyes were cruel. I wouldn't be satisfied even if I killed her!
Alright, my good son, now go take a bath and change your clothes. We're going to the Yue family to help your maternal grandfather reclaim the glory that belongs to our family. Yue Lan's lips curled into a smile.
If she had known that blowing up a mine could have this effect, she really should have blown up a few more!
