Free Web NovelChapter 47: Chapter 47: An Unexpected Business Opportunity
"How could you..."
Li Guang’s eyes widened in horror.
He couldn’t believe Wang Hao was alive and had returned.
"Li Guang, do you have a death wish, daring to lay a hand on my mother!"
Having said that, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and snapped it in two with a "crack."
Hearing the stick break, Li Guang turned pale with fear and his legs went weak.
"Brother Wang Hao, this... this is all a misunderstanding!"
Wang Hao was instantly enraged upon hearing this and kicked Li Guang’s knee.
Li Guang knelt down in front of Wang Hao with a "thump."
"Damn your misunderstanding, if there’s a next time, be careful or I’ll break both your legs."
After saying this, Wang Hao slapped Li Guang, causing him to spit out blood.
Turning around, he knocked Li Guang down again. Seeing Wang Hao’s furious demeanor, Li Guang didn’t dare to resist and looked towards the village chief for help.
"Village Chief, save... save me!"
Zhao Youquan never expected Wang Hao to return unscathed, let alone with four Centipede Skin Bags filled with centipedes.
His mind was preoccupied with how to handle the situation, not on saving Li Guang.
The surrounding villagers didn’t dare to step forward and help, having endured Li Guang’s bullying frequently.
Seeing him receive his comeuppance now brought them immense satisfaction.
"Dad, Mom, are you alright?"
After dealing with Li Guang, Wang Hao immediately ran over to help his parents up.
"We’re fine, as long as you’re back safe and sound."
Huang Yufen, seeing her son return safely, couldn’t help but let the tears flow.
"Don’t worry, your son has a tough life, they won’t take me down so easily."
Wang Hao reassured his parents, then turned and smiled at Zheng Cailian, saying,
"Cailian, would you mind taking my parents back? I still have some business to attend to here."
Wang Hao spoke to Zheng Cailian with unusual tenderness, as if he were talking to his own wife.
Wang Dazhu and Huang Yufen were surprised and found it unbelievable.
He used to call her Sister Cailian in front of others, and now he addressed her so affectionately.
Could the two of them be...
The elders followed Zheng Cailian back home, puzzled.
"Haozi, be careful!"
Before leaving, Zheng Cailian tugged gently on Wang Hao’s sleeve and spoke with a look full of concern.
"Don’t worry!"
Wang Hao patted Zheng Cailian’s hand, nodded with a smile, and signaled her to be at ease.
Watching their retreating figures, Wang Hao turned back to face Zhao Youquan, his gaze returning to fierce sharpness.
"Village Chief, it’s time to settle our accounts now."
Wang Hao strode over to Zhao Youquan and threw the Centipede Skin Bag in front of him.
Zhao Youquan, frightened, stepped back repeatedly, breaking out in a cold sweat.
He knew that Wang Hao’s bottom line was his family; anyone who touched them would face his wrath. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Indeed, Wang Hao sent away those he cared for, just waiting to deal with Zhao Youquan and the others.
Zhao Youquan glanced at the Centipede Skin Bag, noticed no movement inside, and his eyes darted around. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"What’s in this Centipede Skin Bag?"
Zhao Youquan said loudly, pretending ignorance.
"These are the centipedes you wanted!"
Wang Hao knew what Zhao Youquan was up to, but he didn’t say it outright, waiting for Zhao Youquan to dig his own grave.
He then opened the Centipede Skin Bag, which was filled with centipedes, but they were unmoving, as if they were dead.
Seeing this, Zhao Youquan picked up a centipede, shook it in his hand, and laughed sardonically.
"Wang Hao, who are you trying to fool? They’re all dead. Where did you pick these up? How dare you claim you caught them?"
Wang Hao knew Zhao Youquan would pull this trick, but he was not afraid. He was ready to counter Zhao Youquan’s moves and see what other tricks he had up his sleeve.
"Village Chief, did you want them alive?"
"Obviously, how can dead ones prove you caught them? Go ahead and smell them, they’re rank, who knows how long they’ve been dead. Are you trying to fool a three-year-old with this?"
As Zhao Youquan spoke, he held the centipede to his nose, sniffed it, and feigned a disgusted look, as if he were about to vomit.
"If you want to live, it’s not easy, but I can make it happen."
Wang Hao, holding a bottle of water, said to Zhao Youquan with a smile.
"You think you’re an immortal reincarnate, able to resurrect the dead?"
Zhao Youquan kicked the Centipede Skin Bag a few more times to check and found that there was still no movement inside.
"Hmph! Open your damn eyes and watch carefully."
Wang Hao snorted coldly and splashed the water from the bottle onto Zhao Youquan’s hand.
Since he asked for it himself, he can’t blame anyone else.
Seeing Wang Hao splashing water on him, Zhao Youquan’s face filled with displeasure, and he bellowed angrily.
"Are you crazy!"
In an instant, Zhao Youquan felt something was off with the centipede in his hand; it seemed to be moving slowly.
"Oh, my God!"
Zhao Youquan was so scared that he flung his hands repeatedly.
With that fling, the startled centipede bit his hand.
The village chief’s hand was punctured with several holes, and blood flowed freely.
At first, the blood was bright red, but it gradually turned black and kept flowing.
Zhao Youquan immediately tore off a piece of his clothing and tightly bound his arm to prevent the poisoned blood from circulating quickly.
He sucked out some of the poison with his mouth.
Although he acted promptly, he didn’t clean it all, and soon, Zhao Youquan’s lips started turning black and he sat down on the ground, dizzy and disoriented.
The centipede, after being flung by Zhao Youquan, scurried around among the people.
The villagers were terrified and scattered in all directions.
Wang Hao thought to himself, let’s see if you still feel like spectating now, this’ll scare you to death!
But still worried the centipede might hurt the villagers, he quickly ran forward to catch it.
The centipede, too, was frightened by the villagers’ reaction and bit Wang Hao’s arm a few times.
Witnessing this scene, the villagers couldn’t help but admire inwardly.
"Wang Hao is truly amazing, could he be possessed by the Mountain God?!"
The centipede had clearly been dead just moments before, and a simple splash of water miraculously revived it.
In their hearts, only the great Mountain God could freely control the life and death of these poisonous creatures in the mountains.
Now, Wang Hao had done it effortlessly, which was quite something.
"Village Chief, are you satisfied? Do you want a few more?"
Wang Hao smiled smugly.
Zhao Youquan was seriously injured this time and seemed like he would need some time to recover, so he wouldn’t be bothering Wang Hao for a while.
He was in no mood to argue with Wang Hao, clutching his wound as he ran towards the hospital.
Fearing that any delay might endanger his life.
"Village Chief, don’t run off, what should I do with these centipedes you wanted? Should I bring them to your house?"
Wang Hao watched Zhao Youquan’s pathetic escape and couldn’t help but laugh while continuously taunting him.
"Let them handle it."
Zhao Youquan pointed at the other village officials, too hurried to see a doctor to deal with these matters.
Seeing so many centipedes, the others were also panicking and didn’t dare to come forward.
"The village has to come up with a solution, we need to deal with these centipedes."
"Yeah, yeah, we can’t let them bite people or livestock everywhere; they could poison the whole village to death."
The villagers, also frightened, urged the officials to hurry up and take care of it.
"This... Wang Hao, you caught them; you deal with them."
The village accountant pointed at Wang Hao and said.
"Whether you sell them or burn them, just make sure they don’t show up in Chen Village again."
After saying this, he ran off as fast as his legs could carry him.
Wang Hao’s face darkened after hearing this; not a single official in this village was decent.
In the countryside, who would buy centipedes to eat?
Just then, a small car meandered by.
Seeing Wang Hao, it stopped in front of him.
Emblazoned on the car door were the words of a certain laboratory, and as the door slowly opened, several youngsters in work clothes got out.
"Excuse me, is this Chen Village? Your county leaders said you have a centipede infestation, and we’re here to collect them..."
