43: Chapter 43 The Mountain-Suppressing Tiger

September 26th.

Early morning, The Sixth Hospital. A cleaning lady in her fifties walked into the dean's office and began to clean. She mopped the floor and wiped the desk.

"Huh, why are there still two candies here? Sigh, the dean is so wasteful. Even if he doesn't eat them, he shouldn't just leave them lying around. I wonder what flavor they are... Hmm? Why is there no flavor at all..."

At eight in the morning, Brother Tao took four underlings and drove a business van to Yu Zhen's home early in the morning.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Yu Zhen's home?"

Yu Mengyao opened the door.

When Brother Tao and his underlings saw Yu Mengyao, they finally understood why Ye Mo wanted to give money to Yu Zhen.

"This beautiful young lady, if it were me, I'd give money too."

The underlings stared blankly, but upon realizing she might be Ye Mo's wife, they immediately averted their gazes.

Yu Mengyao guessed that these people must have been sent by Ye Mo, so she brought them into the house.

At this moment, Yu Zhen was preparing to go out for work.

As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Brother Tao and his group.

In an instant, his hair stood on end.

As a former overlord of Shangying, he sensed the Aura of his own kind from Brother Tao.

Although Brother Tao and his men were dressed decently, the ruffian vibe they exuded couldn't be hidden.

Thus, Yu Zhen saw right through Brother Tao.

Why are these people here? Did they set their sights on his daughter?

At this moment, the Aura radiating from Yu Zhen changed drastically.

He took out his phone, dialed a number, and stared fixedly at Brother Tao, "Old Liu, call everyone over... Yes... to my house."

Meanwhile, Brother Tao seemed to sense a different atmosphere permeating the air.

He looked over curiously.

His mind exploded; the scab on his head, which had just formed, almost split open again.

"Zhen... The Mountain-Suppressing Tiger!"

Brother Tao widened his eyes, looking incredulous.

Twenty years ago, Yu Zhen could be considered the absolute overlord of Shangying Street.

Although Shangying Street and Brother Tao's Yonghe Street were separated by several streets, his reputation was thunderous.

Back then, Brother Tao was only ten years old, still competing with others to see who could pee farther.

But at that time, his dream was to become an underling of the Mountain-Suppressing Tiger.

"You know me... tell me, what are you doing at my house?"

Yu Zhen walked in front of Yu Mengyao, shielding her behind him.

Brother Tao calling out his nickname immediately confirmed his suspicions. It had been so many years; not many people knew his nickname. Only those in the Dao would still call him that.

"Brother Yu, didn't you post a fundraising request on Shuidi Fundraising? After some investigation, we determined that you meet our qualifications for a loan, so I've come to deliver the money."

Brother Tao knew Yu Zhen had misunderstood, so he immediately said.

"Is that so? You had better be able to produce the money, otherwise, I can guarantee that you won't be able to walk out of Shigang Community today."

Yu Zhen wasn't stupid. He had been seeking help online for so long, and it was like throwing a stone into the ocean; how could someone suddenly show up to deliver money?

"Brother Yu, give me your bank card number, and the money will arrive shortly."

Brother Tao felt a powerful sense of oppression from Yu Zhen.

His underlings were fine; they didn't know Yu Zhen, but Brother Tao had grown up listening to stories about Yu Zhen. Yu Zhen had always been his idol.

"Fine."

Yu Zhen sneered. Although he thought it was impossible, he still took out his bank card.

Brother Tao immediately noted down the card number and even pretended to take a few photos.

About ten minutes later, Yu Zhen received a text message: 500,000 had arrived.

At this point, Yu Zhen was also a bit shocked and asked suspiciously, "Are you really from Shuidi Fundraising?"

"Of course, Brother Yu. Fighting and killing aren't popular anymore; we've changed professions." Brother Tao smiled.

"What is your name?" Yu Zhen asked.

"Brother Tao," Brother Tao replied.

"I didn't ask for your nickname."

"My name is actually Brother Tao. My surname is Tao, and my given name is just the word 'Brother'."

"Uh..."

With the matter settled, Brother Tao and his underlings quickly left the residential compound.

They couldn't help it; Brother Tao felt a bit scared whenever he saw Yu Zhen and really didn't dare stay any longer.

Yu Zhen looked at the 500,000 on his phone, always feeling like something was off.

"Dad, with this 500,000, maybe we can find a suitable kidney source for Mom."

"Hmm."

"I have a classmate at The Sixth Hospital; why don't we transfer Mom to The Sixth Hospital..."

"Hmm."

In the morning, Ye Mo and Lu Baijun finished breakfast, and Lu Baijun went to Cultivate again.

She said she felt she was about to Breakthrough, so she wanted to press on in one go.

Afterward, Ye Mo had nothing to do; he used the daytime to Cultivate and spent his nights scrolling through streamers, going to bed until early morning.

This continued until October 1st.

Regarding the issue of firepower, there was still no news from Li Yuan.

Lin Hao guessed that perhaps his requirements were too high and the Li family couldn't do it.

In the end, Ye Mo only asked Li Yuan to replenish the ammunition, the more the better.

Over these days, through Ye Mo's efforts, excluding the existing people, he had now recruited fifteen Blue Spirit Roots and forty Green Spirit Roots; there were still no Yellow Spirit Roots.

Ye Mo divided these people equally between Zhou Ruolin and Cheng Ying.

It is worth mentioning that on September 27th, Yang Lan successfully processed the divorce procedures with Shen Aiming in her hometown, although they had to wait for a one-month cooling-off period before signing.

Moreover, Yang Lan eventually told Zhou Ruolin that if she truly reached Qi Refining, she would agree to Ye Mo's request.

These days, Zhou Ruolin had been chatting well with quite a few female streamers, so meeting them wasn't a problem.

Originally, Ye Mo wanted to take the opportunity to see if he could win over a few more streamers.

But after this incident with Yang Lan, Ye Mo felt that even if others believed he was a Cultivator, getting them to agree to have children with him would likely require him to first achieve success in his Cultivation.

Yu Mengyao was an example.

And Ye Mo didn't have many Spirit Stones on him. After thinking about it, he decided to wait until next time.

At dusk, after saying goodbye to Lu Baijun, Ye Mo arrived at the mountain forest in the eastern suburbs.

With a flash of fire, his figure instantly disappeared.

Water Moon Realm, September 15th, dusk.

Fifth Mine, West District, a remote small mining site.

Next, Ye Mo went fishing again.

September 18th, night.

Ye Mo looked depressed, leaning on his Spirit Hoe, watching the tunnel entrance.

In a few days, Ye Mo had only been robbed once, and the other party only had a few Spirit Stones on them, which wasted a lot of Ye Mo's ammunition.

Previously, Ye Mo was worried about people coming to extort him, but now he wished for people to come extort him, yet nobody came.

At this moment, he even had the idea of taking the initiative, but he quickly rejected it.

If he went to rob, someone would inevitably die.

It wasn't that Ye Mo was soft-hearted; the Sect didn't treat miners' lives as lives either.

But the problem was, if more and more miners died, the Sect would definitely notice, which would affect the mining progress, and the Sect would certainly intervene.

"Forget it, endure a bit longer. Once Zhou Ruolin, Cheng Ying, and Yang Siqi all give birth, my Cultivation will increase ninefold, which will be equivalent to Foundation Establishment. By then, I'll directly take down Scarface Liu, become a small leader, or even a big leader. By that time, I won't have to worry about not having Spirit Stones."

Ye Mo thought about it and decided to keep a low profile for now.

Having made his decision, Ye Mo carried his Spirit Hoe straight to the mine entrance to pay the full amount of Spirit Stones for these days.

Just as he arrived at the mine entrance, he was spotted by Boss Hong's underlings.

Boss Hong's underlings immediately went to report.

And not long after Ye Mo arrived at his small wooden hut, Boss Hong brought several underlings and kicked open the door to Ye Mo's hut.
