Chapter 1983: Chapter 1980: Surprise or Shock?
"But they have money and power, and forced your dad to sell the peach orchard, right?" Lin Tian said solemnly.
The little girl nodded, her small face tensed up: "That’s right, we only found out later that they are the Ma Family from the county, the richest merchants in the area. They are so despicable, using their wealth and influence to force my dad to sell the peach orchard at a low price."
Lin Tian sighed inwardly. This kind of thing doesn’t just happen to the little girl’s family; since the beginning of real estate development, this sort of thing has played out in many places.
"My dad is just a fruit farmer, only knows planting techniques, how could he compete with them? In the end, he had no choice but to sell the peach orchard. Bulldozers came into the orchard, and many peach trees were dug up. Now, only these in front remain, my dad’s life’s work just gone like that." The little girl’s expression was stubborn, but tears welled up in her eyes.
No matter how smart or clever she was, she was still just a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl. Her sister reached out to hold her sister’s hand, offering mutual comfort.
"Little girl, I have a question. Even though your dad lost money selling the orchard, he had fifty thousand in hand. I believe with your dad’s determination, he should be able to start anew. Even if he doesn’t plant another orchard, with fifty thousand, your sister shouldn’t have to work here and endure Ma Mingcai’s bullying, right?" Zhang Lingyu asked puzzledly.
This was also Lin Tian’s query. The little girl’s family had fifty thousand yuan, which, although not making them rich, should allow them to live comfortably in the village. Finding another job elsewhere would be better than working at the Ma Family’s villa.
"There isn’t fifty thousand, the Ma Family didn’t give that much at all!" The little girl’s eyes seemed to blaze with anger: "The Ma Family only gave five thousand, saying the rest would be paid in installments, but now we haven’t seen a penny."
"One day my dad got into a car accident, injured his waist, and has been undergoing treatment, the five thousand yuan was long spent. My sister went to the Ma Family to ask for the rest of the money to treat our dad."
"But that time happened to run into Ma Mingcai, he demanded my sister work at the villa, then he would agree to give the remaining money. My sister had no choice but to go to work at the villa, quickly, Ma Mingcai made a new demand, wanting my sister to be his girlfriend." The little girl was indignant.
Lin Tian thought to himself, Ma Mingcai probably doesn’t want a girlfriend but a mistress, essentially a plaything for this second-generation rich kid.
Indeed, the little girl said with contempt: "Ma Mingcai’s reputation has already gone bad, he just wants to bully my sister. This morning, my sister and I went to him again for the money, but instead, he scolded us and kicked us out."
"How despicable, he must be taught a lesson." Xiao Manxuan clenched her fists, very angry.
"I finally understand, you all should go home for now. I said the promise to buy the villa won’t change." Lin Tian said casually.
The little girl nodded and said: "Thank you all, no matter the outcome, saying all this today made me feel a lot better. Anyway, I’ll fight the Ma Family to the end to get back the money that belongs to my dad."
"Oh, I’m called Yao Xiaoke, my sister’s name is Yao Xiaoting, remember our names." The little girl finally remembered to introduce herself, even in the face of such huge difficulties, she still smiled when introducing herself.
The sisters left, Lin Tian’s gaze turned cold at once, even though the sun hung high in the sky, Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu seemed to feel a chill.
"What should we do?" Xiao Manxuan asked.
"They buy and sell by force, I’ll buy and sell by force too. Let’s not rush, I’ll make a phone call first." Lin Tian said calmly, then walked to the side, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
"Brother Tian, is that really you?" An excited voice came from the phone.
"Wenxing, help me look up something, the Ma Family in Changping County, Ma Mingcai, and Xianlin Villa." Lin Tian got straight to the point without exchanging pleasantries.
"Simple, don’t hang up, give me two minutes." Liu Wenxing confidently said, and then the sound of furious typing on a keyboard could be heard.
Indeed, two minutes later, Liu Wenxing’s voice was heard again: "Brother Tian, the Ma Family in Changping County is just a small family, a strand of hair from the Yun Family could crush them, what’s up, they provoked you? Sigh, a three-minute silence for them."
More keyboard typing was heard, and this computer genius let out a surprised sound, amused: "I found something interesting."
"I sent an email to the Ma Family’s company email, hidden within the email was a piece of code, through this code, I hacked into their company’s leadership computer, and on one of the deputy general’s computer, I found an encrypted file."
"Of course, this level of encryption is like an open door for me; interestingly, this encrypted file is a secret ledger."
"Even though I’m not a finance major, I can understand some of it, this deputy is secretly hollowing out the Ma Family’s company, he’s just a professional manager, collaborating with the finance director, a woman."
"Let me check on this female director, oh, her resume photo is quite pretty, turns out she’s the Ma Family’s young master’s fiancée, no wonder she became the finance director." The keyboard sounded off quickly as Liu Wenxing spoke rapidly.
This guy was like a supercomputer, breaking into the Ma Family company’s network as if it were an unguarded land, and no wonder, Liu Wenxing’s hacking skills were top-notch, and a small company like the Ma Family couldn’t withstand his pace at all.
"Look and see if there are photos of the finance director with that deputy, I mean photos of the two together, you know what I mean." Lin Tian’s mouth curled up, revealing a sly smile.
"Damn, Brother Tian you guessed right, there are indeed, and they’re rather explicit. The deputy and the finance director, who is also the Ma Family’s young master’s fiancée, have a thing going on, no expectation, they even have a fondness for taking photos while doing it." Liu Wenxing clicked his tongue.
Lin Tian chuckled again, saying: "Send me the clearest few photos."
"No problem." Liu Wenxing responded easily.
A dozen seconds later, Lin Tian received a message, opened it, and saw a photo of a man and woman, disheveled clothes, posing intimately. Looking through the other photos, Lin Tian’s eyes widened as they got more explicit.
Pleasures aplenty, ultimately betrayed, Ma Mingcai cheated on by his fiancée, a green field as vast as the eye can see.
Pocketing his phone, Lin Tian returned to Xiao Manxuan and the others. Zhang Lingyu scrutinized him, and said blandly: "Seeing you smile so wickedly, someone must be in trouble, right? Tell me, what were you looking at just now?"
"Uh, you’d better not know." Lin Tian covered his phone, not intending to show her, such photos would tarnish the eyes of the Beautiful Sky Master.
"With such a wicked smile, I think I’d rather not see." Zhang Lingyu wisely made her choice.
Lin Tian looked at the time, and said: "You all find a place to wait outside first, I’m going to meet Ma Mingcai, there’s something he’ll find quite surprising."
"A shock, more like." Zhang Lingyu pursed her lips.
