The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me Chapter 1429 - 1423: A Nameless Fury

"I'm truly sorry, Director Pang, this is really a misunderstanding!" Shi Houcai felt utterly helpless now. If he just watched as the police arrested them, the mountain excavation project they talked about would probably fall through. Watching the money slip away, who wouldn't feel the pain!

He took out a cigarette, offering one each to Director Pang and his two subordinates, and then whispered to Director Pang, "Director Pang, this matter is mainly due to my damn son. He was the one who provoked others; they were forced to fight back. I only found out the details before you arrived. I wanted to call you to not co, but who knew you'd get to the doorstep so quickly!"

"Are you complaining that we ca too fast now?" Director Pang said with a gloomy face, his tone filled with anger. Damn, I've been a director for so many years and never been toyed with like this. Even if you're just a small village chief, you can't treat people like fools!

Shi Houcai quickly waved his hand, apologizing, "I wouldn't dare to ss with you. This is mainly my fault. How about this, Director Pang? Let these two people go first; it won't trouble the station. Later, we can have a proper al together at the restaurant in town as punishnt for my recklessness today. What do you think of this, Director Pang?"

Director Pang, being a seasoned official, knew when to take a step down. Since Shi Houcai said so, he couldn't argue further. He just lectured Lin Chuan and his companion about how fighting is wrong and how it negatively affects society… and so on.

After emptying the contents of his mind, Director Pang checked the ti and finally left with his two subordinates.

Shi Houcai breathed a long sigh of relief, muttering under his breath, "Damn, inviting the gods is easy, but sending them away is difficult. I guess I'll have to spend money to ward off disaster again!"

Lin Chuan muttered to himself, "Serves you right for calling the police." But on the outside, he wore a grateful smile, thanking Shi Houcai, "Village Chief Shi, you're truly forgiving. You spoke up for us in such a crucial mont, helping us out. Tonight, our Mr. Huang is treating you at the restaurant in town. Please don't decline."

Zhao Zhonghai's face darkened upon hearing these words, cursing internally, "Damn, if you're inviting soone, just do it. Why drag in?" However, when he thought about Lin Chuan ntioning the best restaurant in town, he couldn't help but chuckle. This guy wouldn't take Shi Houcai to a bun shop, would he?

Shi Houcai was now being polite to Lin Chuan and Zhao Zhonghai, especially careful not to displease Zhao Zhonghai, the bringer of wealth. Seeing Zhao Zhonghai's clothes torn from the fight, Shi Houcai cursed his unfilial son.

After staying a little longer at Shi Houcai's house, mainly listening to Zhao Zhonghai explain so rough ideas about mining and the project, despite occasionally misstating terminology, it didn't matter to Shi Houcai, who was listening earnestly without any doubt.

"Village Chief Shi, you might know that Huang ngqi from our village is my girlfriend. Her family is in trouble mainly because her father borrowed money from the whole village. The villagers want it paid back quickly, but we can't do anything right now! Although Mr. Huang is a good friend of mine, I usually don't ddle with others' debts." Lin Chuan finally confessed before leaving.

Shi Houcai acted surprised, nodding, saying to himself, "Huang ngqi is a good kid. I also lent them a bit of money. So, did the villagers threaten you?"

"Not really, but a few days ago, I boasted that I would repay within five days. Tomorrow is the fifth day, and I still don't have any money. You see, my friend ca to invest here, and I can help out a bit. With the salary, Mr. Huang will give enough to repay everyone. You're the village chief here, could you help us explain and ask the villagers to wait a bit longer?" Lin Chuan asked pleadingly.

"Oh, I see!" Shi Houcai nodded, then patted his chest, laughingly promising, "No problem, you go back first. Once things are settled between us and the project is lined up, I'll see who dares to cause trouble at the Huang family."

With Shi Houcai's guarantee, Lin Chuan knew the urgent crisis was resolved for now, and next was to depend on this so-called project.

When Lin Chuan walked out of the village chief's house, the Stone Village villagers were surprised to see the young man who usually opposed the village chief being respectfully sent off by Shi Houcai, especially after beating Shi Rongguang so badly today. It was indeed a rare sight.

"Why didn't you just say Shi Rongguang wanted to forcefully take Huang ngqi? Wouldn't that solve all the trouble?" Zhao Zhonghai asked puzzled as they walked ho.

Lin Chuan retorted, "Do you really think his father doesn't know what his son does? Shi Houcai knows better than anyone. We don't need to spell it out; he'll handle it himself. At least for now, his son won't bother us again!"

Zhao Zhonghai laughed ironically, "He won't bother us because that guy is still in the hospital!"

In ward 17 on the second floor of the surgical wing of East Sea County Hospital.

After sending away Shi Rongguang's little gang, his mother sat dazedly by his bedside, heartbroken seeing her son unconscious.

Shi Houcai walked in, surprisingly without a trace of anxiety on his face. Instead, his fatty face was filled with a happy smile.

"Your son is in such a state, and not only are you not worried, you even seem happy. What on earth are you doing? I ask you, have they caught the culprit?" Shi Rongguang's mother filled with anger as soon as she saw her husband.

Shi Houcai glanced at his son lying in the bed, snorted coldly, and impatiently said, "What do you know? I have my plans. As a re woman, don't ddle. You think I don't know? It was definitely him who provoked first, why else would an outsider beat him for no reason."

Realizing the implication in his words, Shi Rongguang's mother, disregarding her image, shouted, "Alright, Shi Houcai, just because you've been a lousy village chief for a few days, you think you're impressive? I have no admiration for it. Now, you can't even defend your own son? You're siding with outsiders, this isn't over. I'm telling you, if you don't stand up for our son, I… I…."

She suddenly couldn't continue. Previously, she always found reasons to threaten Shi Houcai. That was when she was young. Now, she had beco an old woman who no one cared about. Even if she used her maternal family as a threat, it's probably what Shi Houcai secretly hoped for!

"What do you want to do? Speak up, are you rebelling?" Shi Houcai shouted angrily at her.

"I'll die to show you!" Shi Rongguang's mother, desperate, had no choice but to threaten with her death. Seeing Shi Houcai's indifferent expression, to show she ant it, she picked up the used needle from her son, aiming it at her own carotid artery.

"Stone guy, if we're not well, you won't be either. Since you despise and Rongguang, I'll go first and make space for you to find another vixen!"

Won's tricks are no more than three: crying, making trouble, and pretending to hang themselves. Shi Houcai's lifelong wife was no exception, speaking much nonsense before dying to leave the other a chance to change his mind.

But this ti, she miscalculated. Compared to money, losing an old hag ant little to Shi Houcai.

Holding the needle with her right hand, Shi Rongguang's mother grew more disappointed with Shi Houcai. Initially intended to rely scare him, this disappointnt turned real, tempting genuine death. She aid at her carotid artery and stabbed down.

Shi Houcai, suddenly anxious, didn't want a real tragedy to occur. He dashed to his wife's side, his large hand swinging.

"Smack..."

A slap landed on Shi Rongguang's mother's face, the force so great she lost balance, tumbling in front of the sickbed, pressing onto Shi Rongguang's injured leg, and the needle fell to the ground.

"Ah!" Shi Rongguang scread from the sudden leg pain, shocking his mother enough to quickly get up, worrying, "Rongguang, how are you? Are you okay?"

The nurse, hearing the scream, rushed in imdiately. Upon learning it was the patient's family accidentally hurting the patient, she severely criticized Shi Rongguang's mother before storming out angrily.

Shi Houcai glanced at his son, noticing the hint of a sneer at his lips. It seed he'd woken up much earlier, secretly watching his parents' drama unfold!

"Stop threatening with your life; if you want to die, do it far away." Shi Houcai scolded his wife harshly, then turned to his newly awakened son, cursing, "You better behave from now on, stop causing trouble outside, always making clean up after you!"
