1177: Telephone

"This woman doesn't know what's good for her."

Listening to Liu Han, his cousin, venting her anger at the bodyguards over the telephone, Liu Jiang loosened the tie around his neck, and a surge of anger also rose in his heart.

Originally, he had planned to privately ask Liu Han about her situation with the guy who was driving.

Liu Jiang didn't even plan to mention the matter of him almost being lured to his death by a monster by the other party.

But seeing Liu Han's attitude, Liu Jiang felt that he had been too lenient with Liu Han.

Liu Jiang did not plan to hide what this girl and the man who ran away did to him from the elders.

...

On the other side, Qianyang County.

"Five hundred thousand for a weed cutter?!"

Da Hu's voice was deafening, mixed with a strong tone of disbelief.

Inside the shopping mall, there were no salespeople, only one manager who complained with a helpless face, "Oh, two Boss, given the current situation, all five suppliers in our store have run out of stock for various reasons.

This batch of goods can be said to be the last of the stock.

Not to mention Qianyang County, even in the city, there are absolutely no other options!"

"There are no new weed cutters in the city?"

Hong Lei stood in front of the manager, his gaze sizing up the few weed cutters in front of him.

The vehicles were the size of go-karts, and one person could sit and drive them.

The usual price would not exceed fifty thousand.

The price has skyrocketed by more than ten times in just a few days, so it's no wonder Da Hu had such a tone.

The manager heard Hong Lei's words and nodded solemnly, "Two Boss, I'm really not lying to you."

"You will definitely say that under the current unusual circumstances, it's understandable that foreign countries would run out of stock, but it's impossible for factories producing weed cutters domestically to run out of stock."

"But that's the reality.

All domestic suppliers have run out of stock.

I heard..."

At this point, the manager deliberately paused, then glanced around like a mouse for a while.

After confirming that no one was around, he lowered his voice and spoke very mysteriously, "I heard that factories like weed cutter production and assembly plants, as well as assembly line manufacturers, and even telephone chip manufacturers, received notice a few days ago to collectively transition towards the military industry!!"

"Now all factories are producing various hot weapon parts.

It will definitely get chaotic later.

Money is basically worthless now.

Asking for five hundred thousand is already very conservative and restrained!"

"Is there oil?"

Hong Lei didn't really care about the price.

He currently had hundreds of millions of money on hand.

Not to mention five hundred thousand, even if he bought a weed cutter for five million, he wouldn't think it was expensive.

Of course, he also knew that people were restless, uneasy, and sensitive now, and revealing too much wealth at once would definitely carry a certain risk.

Of course, at this time, the people who are often feared are social individuals like Hong Lei and Da Hu, who are burly and have large tattoos on their bodies.

Just like now, when Hong Lei was talking to the manager in front of him, the other party's entire face was basically in a state of forced smiles.

His gaze occasionally darted towards the store's surveillance cameras, seemingly wanting to ensure his personal safety was within the surveillance's watch range.

"Deliver oil?"

The manager heard this and scratched his head, feeling a bit troubled.

"What?

Buying your stuff, and you don't even plan to deliver oil?"

Da Hu looked at the other party fiercely.

It seemed like the next moment, he would directly punch and kick, smash, and forcibly rob A Man!

Seeing this scene, the manager swallowed non-existent saliva, "Deliver, of course, deliver!

As long as your payment arrives, I guarantee that the fuel tanks of the two Boss's weed cutters will be completely full!"

"Just one tank of oil that comes with it?"

Da Hu continued to question dissatisfiedly.

Facing these words, the manager showed a helpless bitter face and said, "This Boss, please don't make things difficult for me."

"All the reserve gasoline in our store has been confiscated by the military region.

The oil I promised to add for you will have to be siphoned from my private car's fuel tank when the time comes."

"Gas stations are now restricting oil purchases.

Each person can't fill more than thirty liters at a time, and can only fill up once a week.

Before filling up, you also need various documents to prove you are the owner of the vehicle..."

"I also want to give the two Boss more gasoline as a gift, but now... my ability is only this much.

After the oil in the car is siphoned out and put into the weed cutter, I can only ride shared bikes home for commuting for the next week."

"Alright, how many weed cutters do you still have in your store?"

Hong Lei wasn't in the mood or had the time to listen to this guy's various excuses.

"As for weed cutters... there are six left."

"I'll take all of them."

Hong Lei said decisively.

"All of them?!"

The manager burst out in expected shock.

"Boss, in that case, I won't be able to fill up all the vehicles with fuel."

"Then I'll buy from another place."

"No!

I'll figure something out, no, I have a way!"

The manager of the weed cutter store's voice carried a rapid breath and suppressed excitement.

While his brain was thinking rapidly, A Man took out his telephone from his body the next moment: "Little Wang, where are you?

Is there oil in the car at home?"

"Little Tao, where are you?

Is there oil in the car at home?"

...

Under A Man's telephone contact with acquaintances and at the cost of tens of thousands, six tanks of oil were finally gathered.

After the items were in place, Hong Lei swiped his card without hesitation.

A consumption of three million was not worth mentioning compared to a fortune of hundreds of millions!

...

In the afternoon.

The scorching sun finally brought the aura of midsummer and shone upon the entire land.

Liu Family.

"Burp~"

A long, satisfied burp, carrying a visible bad breath, came from the mouth of the Big Mouth Flower that had just eaten the Snow Monster.

Stretching its terrifying body full of sharp thorns, the Big Mouth Flower slightly shifted its direction, facing the main hall of the Liu family behind it.

Having eaten and drunk its fill, it seemed to have become a bystander witnessing something.

"Liu Han!

You've disappointed me too much!"

The White-Haired Old Man's loud voice exploded from the hall.

It was not difficult to hear a strong sense of authority within it!

Inside the Liu Family main hall.

An Old Man over eighty years old, leaning on a cane, with white hair and beard, looking frail and ancient, wearing a casual blue cloth robe, sat in the only seat of honor.

The person who had just reprimanded Liu Han, who was standing with her head down in the hall, was none other than him—the Liu family head!

On either side of the Liu family head sat three Middle-aged people with similar appearances, aged between forty and fifty.

These three were also the three pillars of the Liu Family.

"Xiaohan, I heard that when you escaped, your accomplice who helped you escape also attracted a monster, almost causing that monster to kill your cousin Liu Jiang?!"

Among the three Middle-aged people, the second one, who was sitting in the second position, also spoke to Liu Han, his own daughter, with an unacceptable tone of questioning.

"Dad, I said it already, that monster won't attack stationary objects.

Liu Jiang and the others as long as they have a normal person's intelligence level, it's impossible for them to die at the hands of that Snow Monster!"

Outside the door, the Big Mouth Flower remained still, seemingly immersed in being a bystander.

It was also at this moment that the connecting words were transmitted from Liu Han's mouth to the outside.

"Moreover, you keep saying that the Snow Monster would kill Liu Jiang, but in the end, wasn't the Snow Monster eaten by that ugly monster outside?"

Big Mouth Flower: ...

"Absurd!

You junior really haven't realized your mistake at all!"

...

Amidst a solemn judgment, Liu Han's final outcome was to be placed under house arrest in a manor to properly reflect on her mistakes.

Of course, in aspects unknown to Liu Han, the Liu Family was also secretly organizing manpower to begin investigating Wang Yang, or rather... hunting him down!

A guy who attempted to kill a direct descendant of the Liu Family has already been placed on the Liu Family's blacklist!

It was night.

Within the scope of the Liu Family's property, in a clean manor nestled against a mountain and by a lake, with a large lake, Liu Han sat on the soft, huge bed with red-rimmed eyes, her face full of resentment and sorrow.

Although she knew that the outside situation was turbulent now, and even doomsday predictions were becoming more frequent, Liu Han still yearned for the outside world with all her heart.

At this moment, her mind was solely focused on how to escape the Liu Family and avoid the arranged marriage.

"Wang Yang, now I can only place my hope on you."

Mutually speaking, Liu Han tightly clutched a telephone in her hand, clearly waiting for Wang Yang's call.

On the other side.

On an unknown small road in Qianyang County, Wang Yang held the steering wheel with one hand and tapped on his telephone with the other.

From the timing, that woman should have already returned home.

At this time, he could also just make a telephone call to connect with her and, at the same time, learn about the Liu Family's attitude towards him through this woman.

Thinking this way, Wang Yang dialed the telephone number from the note Liu Han left...

...

On a completely dark road with no streetlights.

A large cargo truck, loaded with six weed cutters, as well as three ordinary-sized excavators, and other soil-turning machines, fertilizers, pesticides, and other things needed for reclaiming wasteland!

The direction of travel for this fully loaded vehicle was none other than Hong Lei's suburban villa.

After a full day, Hong Lei finally completed the purchase of all the necessary equipment.

Even this large cargo truck was bought by him.

Hong Lei himself was in the RV, while Da Hu was driving the cargo truck.

"Ding-a-ling..."

Suddenly, Hong Lei, who was driving quietly, had his attention drawn by the telephone from the communication channel on the vehicle.

Looking at the ringing telephone, Hong Lei paused, reached out, and picked it up.

Although there might be some disgusting guys on the telephone, it cannot be denied that the connection channel, which cost five energy points from the System, indeed helped him facilitate a big business deal.

Maybe this telephone call is something crucial.

"Click~"

The moment he picked up the telephone, before Hong Lei could even start speaking, a light screen appeared before his eyes.

"Warning, detected communicator is someone who harbors extreme hostility towards the Host.

Voice alteration has been automatically enabled for the Host."

Ye Tian, who had secretly completed some operation, reminded the Host at this moment.

"Someone who harbors extreme hatred towards me?"

Hearing this prompt from the System suddenly, Hong Lei didn't react for a moment.

However, subsequently, after hearing the voice on the telephone, his expression slowly turned gloomy, and at the same time, he felt a sense of understanding in his heart.

"Hello, Liu Han, it's me, Wang Yang."

Wang Yang's unhurried voice came from the telephone.
