Yang Ruyu was not stupid. Why would someone suddenly rush into their home in the middle of the night? As soon as she heard the surname Luo, she knew it must be trouble caused by that young man who had just moved in next door. So, she had taken a knife for this guy, and even smoothed things over for him. At this moment, Yang Ruyu suddenly felt a sense of frustration, as if she had been used as a tool by someone. She already hated Luo Chen, and now she had unintentionally helped him. After all, if this group of people had rushed next door tonight, Luo Chen would definitely be completely dead. This made Yang Ruyu even more furious. A surge of anger built up inside her, to the point where she almost wanted to just kill everyone. However, she thought again. If she kept these people, and kept Cui Hao alive, they would surely go looking for trouble with Luo Chen sooner or later. Therefore, despite Yang Ruyu being angry, Cui Hao had not been beaten by her to the point of being unable to speak. But Cui Hao was equally stunned. He felt even more frustrated in his heart. This was absolutely intentional. That kid definitely knew there was an expert living next door, and deliberately gave the wrong address, making them walk right into the line of fire. Now, looking at the dozens of people beaten into cripples, several of whom were his own brothers, Cui Hao felt a boundless hatred in his heart. They had come aggressively, only to be played like monkeys by Luo Chen in the blink of an eye. No one could accept such a thing. Although he could still speak, his life was over. He would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair and a sanatorium. The hatred was extreme. Dozens of people had their lives ruined, while the person responsible just watched the joke from the sidelines. One could only imagine the frustration and hatred in the heart of Cui Hao. Luo Chen did not know this. He really was not doing it on purpose. After all, he had just been there, only caught a glimpse of a house number, and then just said it off the top of his head. However, what Cui Hao and the others did not know was that if Luo Chen had been there tonight, and if they had not gone to the wrong place, their fate might have been even more miserable. Because compared to Luo Chen, the methods of Yang Ruyu were child’s play. At this moment, Luo Chen was already at the Jinxiu Shanhe Restaurant. Seven or eight men in black suits had arrived. The two men leading them were middle aged and looked exactly like professional loan sharks. Luo Chen did not bother to argue. After all, if you save someone, you save them all the way. Once the owed money was paid, the matter was settled. Tian Qiqi looked at Luo Chen with gratitude, and a fanatical infatuation even appeared in her eyes. Anyone meeting someone like Luo Chen in such a situation would probably be captivated. “Brother, how about we step aside for a word?” the middle aged man leading them said. They were only responsible for debt collection, so they were naturally happy when someone repaid the money. But now, it seemed they had something to say to Luo Chen. Luo Chen walked outside. The middle aged man leading them smiled and handed Luo Chen a Huanghelou cigarette. “Brother, I can see you are a good person, so I want to remind you. It is best not to get involved in the matters concerning this restaurant and that little girl,” the middle aged man said slowly. “I can only say this much. After all, you are a good person. Do not let a good intention bring about big trouble. The other party has the surname Tian. You can go and ask around. In the north, this surname represents something.” The middle aged man smiled, waved his hand, and left with his men. The Tian family of the North! There were many extraordinary people in the north, but the most famous of them all was the Tian family. On the surface, they were a wealthy and powerful family. But secretly, they were a cultivation family. They were even renowned far and wide, considered a highly prestigious cultivation family in the country. In legend, the Tian family had a snake master in their household. There were even rumours that this snake master was a snake spirit that was a thousand years old. This was because the north had always had a terrifying and even horrifying legend. It was said that during the War of Resistance, a Japanese unit of thousands of soldiers passed through a village. Originally, they adhered to the policy of killing all, burning all, and looting all. Moreover, in that era, whenever the Japanese came, ordinary villages would be emptied early on, as no one would dare to stay. However, in that particular village at the time, the villagers reportedly just went about their business as usual, not afraid at all. When the Japanese soldiers carried their machine guns into the village, an old woman stood at the village entrance with a beaming smile, seemingly to greet, or even welcome them. Rumour had it that the old woman was smiling so broadly she could not close her mouth, constantly muttering, “We will have meat to eat this New Year, we will have meat to eat.” Afterwards, strangely, no one in that village died. It was not until after the liberation that a merchant went there to sell clothes. After all, in that era, many itinerant merchants carried their goods on shoulder poles and sold them in villages everywhere. However, as soon as he entered, he ran away in utter terror. Because in that village, the trees were hung with dense rows of dried corpses, looking just like cured meat hanging in a farmhouse. And that village was called Tianjia Village. Once the news spread, everyone was terrified. Those Japanese soldiers must have been made into cured meat by someone, and they had not even finished eating them yet. If this was just a folk tale, then another matter was highly substantiated and even caused a nationwide sensation. That was the old woman with a cat face. There were many stories about the old woman with a cat face. Anyway, many schools were closed at the time. There were even troops patrolling at night. However, those who truly knew understood that the old woman with a cat face did not reanimate simply because a cat climbed over her after she died. Instead, she had escaped from Tianjia Village. Escaped. She had indeed escaped. Nowadays, Tianjia Village had changed drastically, but the people living there still had the surname Tian. However, very few outsiders dared to go there. The father of Tian Qiqi was actually a member of the Tian family. On the surface, he was just a restaurant owner, but anyone who had truly interacted with him knew this. Moreover, the Tian family had immense power in the north. Whether in terms of connections or other resources, they were a regional overlord. Therefore, that middle aged man warned Luo Chen that it was best not to get involved in this matter. After all, once a matter became entangled with the Tian family, it would be extremely troublesome. Luo Chen naturally did not know this. However, even if he did, he would probably act without hesitation. After all, to him, whether it was the Tian family or the neighbours next door, neither was anything to fear in his eyes. It was already very late. After comforting Tian Qiqi and giving her some money to pay her employees’ wages the next day, Luo Chen went straight back to Bo Village and went to the back mountain early the next morning. After tossing and turning all night, Luo Chen slowly entered the right state and began to refine the Essence of Li Fire. Bo Village, which had finally calmed down, instantly erupted again, and the temperature rose once more. For the people of Bo Village, these past two days had been like alternating between ice and fire, hot and cold. Many people even began to think about moving away from Bo Village. As soon as dawn broke, the old and young pair, Yang Tiangang and Yang Ruyu, arrived again. Seeing Luo Chen again, Yang Ruyu instantly lost control.
