It was three years ago. At that time, Lin Yongqiang and others had gone on a trip to Miaojiang. Due to the thick fog in the mountains, Lin Yongqiang got separated from the others.

In an attempt to quickly find his group, he wandered alone through the mountains.

However, as he was unfamiliar with the area, he ended up walking further and further away and soon had no idea where he was.

In his panic, he tried to make a phone call only to find there was no signal.

Just when he decided to wait in place for rescue, he felt something approaching.

After he realized it was a wolf, his scalp went numb, and he frantically fled without choosing his path.

When it seemed like there was no way out, he saw a fire in the distance.

Desperate to survive, he quickly headed straight for the light.

Originally, Lin Yongqiang had wanted to use the fire to scare the wolves away.

But when he arrived, he found a person in a deep black robe sitting by the fire.

Lin Yongqiang couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman because they wore a thick hat...

The only thing Lin Yongqiang was certain of was that they were extremely terrifying, for the moment he saw them, he felt his soul shivering...

While trembling like this, he heard a snarling growl, turned his head, and saw three wolves appear.

"Friend, there are wolves, let's run!"

Subconsciously, Lin Yongqiang blurted out a warning.

Afterward, Lin Yongqiang noticed that the wolves didn't dare to come closer, but instead were warily watching the person in the black robe...

"Could these wolves be afraid of him?"

As he thought this, Lin Yongqiang saw the person in the black robe slightly lift their head...

Soon, Lin Yongqiang was met with a pair of shiny green eyes...

The moment he saw them, Lin Yongqiang felt as if his soul was about to be sucked in.

"Terrifying!"

Muttering anxiously to himself, he sat down on the ground, and then he heard the black-robed person speak in a chilling voice, "Scram!"

At the moment this cold growl resonated, Lin Yongqiang turned his head and saw the three wolves with their tails between their legs, quickly running away.

"Awesome!"

Admiringly, Lin Yongqiang glanced at him again.

Soon, Lin Yongqiang greeted him and found out that his surname was Zhu, and he was a very powerful wizard.

Thinking he might need his help in the future, Lin Yongqiang took his phone number at the time.

Now, indeed, it came in handy!

"Hu Xiaobei, you'll soon understand how terrifying Wizard Zhu is. By then, you'll probably also be running away with your tail between your legs."

After saying this with a sneer, Lin Yongqiang burst into uncontrollable laughter...

Lin Yongqiang knew that ten million was a lot, but it wasn't very important to him.

In his view, as long as he could kill Hu Xiaobei, he would be able to take over the 'Xiaobei Brand'. Then, he could always use the 'Xiaobei Brand' to make money for himself, so the ten million would come back quickly.

While he snickered coldly to himself, Hu Xiaobei was looking at the excited Guo Meiyu.

"Sister-in-law, you look so happy. Is there some good news? Don't tell me you're pregnant."

At the end, Hu Xiaobei glanced at Guo Meiyu's slender waist.

Noticing Hu Xiaobei's gaze, Guo Meiyu felt a bit speechless, "You little bastard, always spouting nonsense. I am not pregnant."

"Then why so happy?"

"Hehe, take a look!"

As she spoke, she passed him a piece of paper!

Hu Xiaobei took it and looked carefully, then his eyes suddenly lit up...

"Over ninety percent, huh! Looks like we're about to completely crush Lin Yongqiang!"

"Yeah, we've pretty much completely dominated the market. We could have taken more, but our supply isn't quite enough for now, so we're letting them hang on by a thread."

Guo Meiyu despised Lin Yongqiang to the extreme, so she really wanted to utterly ruin him.

Hearing Guo Meiyu express her regret, Hu Xiaobei softly said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we've got time. We don't need to rush."

"That's true!"

Thinking of Lin Yongqiang now being tormented by his company's shareholders made her very happy...

Afterward, Guo Meiyu suddenly said, "By the way, Xiaobei, our store in the Provincial City is already renovated. When shall we have the opening?"

Glancing at Guo Meiyu, Hu Xiaobei pondered and said, "Provincial City is Lin Yongqiang's stronghold. Their 'Yongqiang Brand' still has some influence there. We don't need to rush; let's solidify our position a bit more."

Hu Xiaobei knew that if he rushed to sell his 'Xiaobei Brand' directly in the Provincial City, he could definitely crush that shitty 'Yongqiang Brand.'

But Hu Xiaobei wasn't in a hurry, because he knew that a blunt knife hurts more when cutting meat.

If Lin Yongqiang were defeated outright, he wouldn't feel the pain...

"Okay! I'll follow your lead."

After agreeing, Hu Xiaobei and Guo Meiyu discussed some more details...

After they were done discussing, Hu Xiaobei and Guo Meiyu heard footsteps. Turning their heads, they saw Han Xueyao approaching with a smile.

"Aunty, hello!"

As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei's gaze flashed across her graceful figure.

Over time, Han Xueyao had gotten used to the role of the village chief and had gained a faint trace of authority, which made Hu Xiaobei feel a bit restless upon seeing her...

"Um!"

Nodding, Han Xueyao looked at Hu Xiaobei and said, "Xiaobei, do you have time now? Come with me to town."

"To town? For what?"

"You'll know when we get there! Meiyu, why don't you come along?"

"I would love to, but there's just too much on my plate."

"Okay then!"

"Alright, you two go ahead; I'm off!"

"Sure!"

After watching Guo Meiyu leave, Han Xueyao looked at Hu Xiaobei with some concern and said, "Xiaobei, you should hire more people soon, or else little sister Meiyu is really going to wear herself out, you know?"

"Um! I know! Oh, and aunty, do you need a helper too?"

"Of course I do. There's more and more village work now, and I just can't handle it all by myself."

"What about me? I could do a lot for you!"

With that, Hu Xiaobei took a step forward and pushed Han Xueyao into the corner...

"You little bastard, what are you doing?"

Feeling panicked as Hu Xiaobei cornered her, Han Xueyao...

"I'm just thinking about having a good talk with you."

"I don't want to talk to you, you little bastard! Get out of my way right now."

Watching her cute and shy demeanor, Hu Xiaobei gave a mischievous grin and cheekily said, "Let me give you a kiss, then I'll move aside..."

"You little bastard, always taking advantage of me; I won't let you!"

"Really? I..."

Just as he was about to continue, Hu Xiaobei suddenly noticed Han Jiayan approaching...

Knowing that Han Jiayan was probably coming for Han Xueyao, Hu Xiaobei blurted out, "Are you going to let me kiss you or not? Let me tell you, Jiayuan is coming soon. Just let me have a quick peck, and that's it. Otherwise, it might be awkward when Jiayuan gets here."

"You..."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's threat, Han Xueyao instinctively looked back and soon saw her daughter indeed heading their way.

"You little bastard, always threatening me..."

Knowing that Han Xueyao had given in, Hu Xiaobei smiled triumphantly, and soon he watched as she shyly closed her eyes...
