<h4>Chapter 535: Chapter 534, Do you believe I’ll chop you up?</h4>


    The old, dpidated gate had been taken down and blocked the entrance.


    The yard reeked of an unbearable stench.


    It housed over twenty goats and two cows.


    It barely resembled a home.


    More like an animal pen.


    Just then, a viger passed by, and Nie Xiaoyu hurriedly stepped forward, her eyes red and swollen, and asked, "Uncle, do you know whose livestock these are?"


    Even though she had a house in the city.


    Although she rarely came back more than a few times a year.


    Seeing the old house in such a state filled her heart with immense anger.


    After all.


    This was the ce where she had grown up.


    It held all the memories of her childhood.


    And it was where her parents and grandparents lived.


    The middle-aged man sighed and said, "These animals are raised by Nie Chu."


    "Xiaoyu, did youe back to pay respects at the grave?"


    "Once you’re done, hurry back to the city and pretend you didn’t see anything," he said as he walked away with big strides.


    Nie Xiaoyu’s eyes welled with tears; she hadn’t expected Nie Chu to be so bullying.


    "What does Nie Chu do? Why does it feel like everyone in your vige is so afraid of him?" Xu Wendong asked curiously.


    Nie Xiaoyu wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, "Nie Chu is the son of our vige chief, a tyrant in our vige. He bullies everyone, and I’ve heard he knows some thugs from the town."


    As she was speaking, a white BMW X3 approached from a distance.


    Then out stepped a man in his thirties, about six feet tall, with a shaved head and a burly build.


    "Well, Xiaoyu’s back!" Nie Chu looked at Nie Xiaoyu in surprise; he hadn’t expected the girl to be prettier as she grew older, a lecherous gleam appearing in his eyes.


    Nie Xiaoyu red at him, "Who allowed you to raise livestock in my house? Get them out immediately."


    Nie Chu chuckled and said, "I saw no one was living in your house, so I let the animals stay here. But don’t worry, I won’t shortchange you. How about I pay you rent?"


    Xu Wendong’s voice rose, "If I raised livestock in your house and paid you rent, would you ept it?"


    Nie Chu red at him, "Who do you think you are? Do you even have a say here?"


    Nie Xiaoyu retorted, "He’s my boyfriend, why wouldn’t he have a say?"


    Nie Chu wore a disdainful expression. He lit a cigarette and said loftily, "If I refuse to remove these animals, what can you do?"


    "In that case, I’ll call the police and use you of upying someone else’s property!" In the past, Nie Xiaoyu wouldn’t have dared to stand up to Nie Chu, but with Xu Wendong by her side, she wasn’t afraid of him at all.


    Bah!


    Nie Chu spat angrily, "You think I’m scared of you calling the police? I’m telling you, I won’t remove these animals. You can try calling the police, but see if they’ll intervene."


    He had a yful smile, not taking Nie Xiaoyu’s threat seriously at all.


    After all, he was on good terms with the local police, often drinking, singing, and getting massages with them.


    An anger rose in Xu Wendong’s heart, "If that’s the case, then I’ll handle your livestock my own way."


    Nie Chu sneered repeatedly, "If you dare touch even a hair on them, believe me, I’ll chop you up," he said, casting a disdainful look at Xu Wendong before driving off in his BMW.


    Xu Wendong felt awkward, "Are all your vige folks so tyrannical?"


    Nie Xiaoyu angrily nodded, then sighed helplessly, "Why don’t we go pay respects at the grave first and act like nothing happened today?"


    Xu Wendong smiled, "Can you really just ignore this?"


    Nie Xiaoyu looked helpless, "What else can we do?"


    "It’s the end of the year; mypany should have a year-end party. Let’s make things lively here!" Xu Wendong dialed Wu Mei and said, "I’ll send you a location in a bit. Bring thepany’s upper and middle management, and the brothers over here for some excitement!"


    "And find a few butchers and chefs; I’ve got over twenty goats and two cows here."


    After hanging up the phone.


    Nie Xiaoyu took Xu Wendong to her grandparents’ and parents’ graves.


    In the past.


    Every time Nie Xiaoyu came to the grave, she felt heavy-hearted and would cry until her eyes were red.


    But today.


    Though she cried.


    They were tears of joy.


    Most importantly.


    This time she came to the grave not to share life’s grievances with her rtives.


    But to tell them some good news.


    That she already had a boyfriend and was no longer lonely.


    Xu Wendong, too, promised in front of the graves of Nie Xiaoyu’s rtives that he wouldn’t let her suffer any grievances.


    When the two returned to the vige, they saw dozens of luxury cars parked on the vige’s main road—four Rolls-Royce Phantoms and over twenty ck Mercedes S-ss sedans.


    In addition, there were eightrge pickup trucks loaded with kitchenware and cooking utensils.


    At this moment, many vigers had also gathered to watch.


    After all, they had never seen so many luxury cars.


    They were all discussing from a distance, wondering why so many luxury cars appeared in this small mountain vige.


    Upon seeing Xu Wendong arrive, Liu Shou, a big shot from North City,ined with a gloomy face, "Mister Xu, we’re happy you want to organize a year-end party. But this is way too abrupt, and why choose this vige for the venue?"


    Chen Ping’an handed Xu Wendong a cigarette, then said, "I reckon we’ll be having dinner by midnight."


    Yan Liuli smiled and said, "Compared to the city, I prefer the lively and grounded life of ughtering sheep and cows in the countryside."


    She knew Xu Wendong had his reasons for calling them over.


    Unexpectedly, it might have something to do with Nie Xiaoyu.


    "Brothers, don’t just stand there—get to ughtering those sheep and cows," Zhao Dalong shouted at his underlings. Although they weren’t professional butchers, for them, ughtering cows and sheep wasn’t hard.


    And so.


    Everyone got busy.


    The quiet mountain vige echoed with the cries of sheep and cows.


    The scene was bloody.


    But also particrly lively.


    They had a clear division ofbor and worked away busily.


    Meanwhile.


    Nie Chu was ying cards in town when he got a call, "What? All my cattle and sheep have been ughtered? Damn, who’s got the guts to ughter my animals?"


    "I’ll deal with it; I’m heading back now," he said, tossing the cards on the table.


    "Xiao Nie, what’s going on?" A stern-faced middle-aged man asked.


    His name was Yan Shifeng, the deputy director of the police station.


    And Nie Chu’s backer.


    Nie Chu replied furiously, "Director Yan, I don’t know what’s going on! My cousin from the vige called saying someone has ughtered my cattle and sheep."


    "Darn it, those cattle and sheep were for the brothers!"


    Hearing this, Yan Shifeng gave a heavy cold snort, "Let’s go, take us to Nie Family Vige. I want to see who’s so bold as to disregard thew and ughter your cattle and sheep!"
