Chapter 232: Chapter 232: An Account of Two Hundred Million_1
After a whole night of work, Wang Fugui had calculated the tally.
The losses suffered by the Qiuniu Gold Mine, plus the nutrition fee of five hundred thousand for each worker, totaled nearly two billion.
To ensure the safety of Qin Feng and Xue Xiaochan, Wang Fugui selected twenty to thirty strong, capable fighters from the miners.
He personally led the team, escorting Xue Xiaochan and Qin Feng to the Pei Family Courtyard.
Occupying over a thousand acres, the Pei Family Courtyard was antique in appearance, with pavilions and towers elegantly built, almost like a palace.
The offspring of the Pei Family living in Anlong Town all resided here.
Unlike other clans, the Pei Family’s daughters never married out, only bringing sons-in-law into the family, so naturally, the children took the Pei surname.
As for the sons of the Pei Family, they married normally.
Although Pei Chunlan was the family head of the Pei Family, all major and minor affairs were managed by her eldest son, Pei Yuanbing.
As for Pei Chunlan, she lived in seclusion all year round and generally did not make public appearances.
Upon entering the Pei Family Courtyard, Qin Feng immediately spotted a familiar figure.
His hands were wrapped in white gauze, and a faint stench lingered on him.
Who else could it be, if not Pei Wuwei, the one who arbitrarily charged tolls?
Upon seeing Qin Feng, Pei Wuwei’s eyes suddenly bulged. First, he was furious, then overjoyed.
Because not only had Qin Feng come, but Xue Xiaochan had as well.
"You dumbass, I’ve been looking everywhere for you and you dare come to the Pei Family on your own?"
"If I don’t come, how am I supposed to settle accounts with your Pei Family?"
"Settle accounts? You want to settle accounts with the Pei Family? What accounts?"
"Two billion in accounts!"
No sooner had Qin Feng finished speaking than Pei Yuanbing walked out.
He glowered at Qin Feng and asked, "Who are you? Does the Qin Family owe you money? You come to the Qin Family Manor to settle accounts with the Pei Family? And it’s about a two billion account?"
"I am Qin Feng, Assistant Chairman of Haiyun Group. The Qiuniu Gold Mine is a property of Haiyun Group. In the past few years, your Pei Family has caused considerable losses to the Qiuniu Gold Mine.
In addition, in the past two months, your Pei Family has also poisoned our miners with Gu, affecting more than a hundred miners with Gu poison.
All the losses combined amount to two billion.
Pay up, and from this point on, the Pei Family and the Qiuniu Gold Mine will stay out of each other’s way. Let bygones be bygones!"
Qin Feng’s words amused Pei Yuanbing, and he burst into hearty laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Once he finished laughing, he spoke coldly, "Indeed, that Gu poison was our doing, but that’s because the general manager of the Qiuniu Gold Mine, Wang Fugui, didn’t know better, and we had to teach him a lesson!
We thought that after being taught a lesson, the people from the Qiuniu Gold Mine would learn how to behave themselves.
Now, it seems I have overestimated you!
You can’t even act like proper humans, yet you dare to mine in Anlong Town?
From now on, the Qiuniu Gold Mine will be managed by the Pei Family and will become a Pei Family property.
As for you, daring to trouble the Pei Family, naturally you must pay the appropriate price!"
"I have no interest in exchanging words with you. I give you three days. In three days, I will come again to the Pei Family Courtyard.
I hope by then you’ll have the money ready. Otherwise, I won’t be polite.
Of course, if the Pei Family truly has the ability, you can also take my life within three days! Before this matter is resolved, I’ll be at the Qiuniu Gold Mine.
If the Pei Family wishes to trouble me, you’re welcome any time.
"No matter the move, I’ll take it!"
After saying that, Qin Feng left with his people.
Qin Feng was very clear that the Pei Family couldn’t be brought down just by talking. That’s why he had given them three days, hoping that the Pei Family would throw everything they had at him!
Pei Yuanbing was dumbfounded.
Watching the back of Qin Feng as he left, he felt humiliated, felt like the Pei Family had been humiliated.
This dumbass named Qin Feng, he’s here to throw down a challenge!
Pei Wuwei came over and said, "Uncle, that Qin Feng we just saw, was the same dumbass who, when entering Anlong Town, not only refused to pay the town entry fee but also shoved me into a cesspit.
"The kung fu of this dumbass is quite impressive. The brothers I brought with me were all flipped over by him.
"At the time, I was thinking of blasting him away with a matchlock gun.
"But, the dumbass actually caught the barrel with his bare hands! With just a twist, he bent the steel barrel that was made of steel pipes."
"Being able to bend the steel pipe with his bare hands indicates the dumbass really has some skill. However, he’s just that—having a little skill.
"Thinks he knows a bit of kung fu and dares to come to the Pei Family and cause a ruckus?
"The last one who came to the Pei Family to stir up trouble was a third-grade Grandmaster.
"What happened to him in the end? He was still taken care of properly, left half-dead, ran off with his tail between his legs, and never dared to step half a foot into Anlong Town again."
At this point, Pei Yuanbing suddenly remembered the extremely beautiful woman standing next to Qin Feng a moment ago.
So, he asked Pei Wuwei, "Do you know who that beautiful woman just now was?"
"Don’t know, she was with that Qin Feng."
"Who she is doesn’t matter, I have taken a fancy to that beautiful woman. After all, my wife died from an illness two years ago, so I might as well make that beauty my wife."
What Pei Yuanbing said left Pei Wuwei itching with anger.
The beautiful woman was someone he had his eye on first, but now this old bastard, Pei Yuanbing, had snatched her away.
And to have the nerve to say his wife Lin Min died of illness two years ago, when he had actually beaten her to death!
At that time, Pei Yuanbing found a pretty girl and messed around with her every day at home.
Unable to bear it, Lin Min secretly installed a camera, captured the video, and shared it in the family group.
After the incident, even though the eldest lady didn’t do anything to Pei Yuanbing and didn’t even scold him,
Pei Yuanbing, feeling like he had lost face, directly hung Lin Min from the beam and whipped her for three days and nights.
He whipped her until her entire body was covered in open wounds, looking quite pitiful.
Ultimately, Lin Min was beaten to death.
After Lin Min’s death, Pei Yuanbing didn’t even bother to get her a coffin or dig a grave; instead, he fed her body to the Black Dragon.
The Black Dragon has been passed down from ancestors of the Pei Family for eight hundred years and is the Pei Family’s treasure!
Only the Family Head, Pei Chunlan, has the power to command it.
Pei Yuanbing, looking at Pei Wuwei, ordered, "I have a task for you. Take some people and cut off all escape routes from the Qiuniu Gold Mine. Don’t let even a fly get out.
"That Qin Feng and that beautiful woman must stay in Anlong Town.
"If the two of them run away, I’ll hang you up and beat you for three days and nights!"
Hearing that Pei Yuanbing would hang him up and beat him for three days and nights, Pei Wuwei was so frightened that his legs trembled and he nearly lost his balance.
The wretched state of Lin Min was vivid in his mind!
Being beaten to death alive, it was simply too tragic, inhumane!
So, Pei Wuwei quickly nodded and promised, "Yes! I guarantee to complete the task that Uncle has given me!"
