Chapter 390: Chapter 416: Kong Qingci Has a Plan

The Luo Family matter was resolved, but Shen Binnan still needed to stay here. Since Luo Mingguang had chosen to submit, Shen Binnan had to stay and sign the contract.

Fang Yi was not afraid that Luo Mingguang would go back on his word, for he could not afford to change his mind. If Fang Yi revealed his scandals, the entire Luo Family would completely fall from grace, and Luo Mingguang would never be able to recover.

Thus, Fang Yi was very at ease about Shen Binnan. With her business acumen, she would definitely not suffer any losses in the acquisition of the Luo Family.

...

A muddy road leading into a small mountain village was riddled with countless potholes and bumps. A crystal white sedan traveled along it, with Fang Yi driving, and Kong Qingci in the passenger seat.

Having finished dealing with Shen Binnan’s matters, Fang Yi began to address the issues concerning Xu He. Originally, he planned to go alone to Qingshan Village, but upon hearing this, Kong Qingci also wanted to come along.

Naturally, Fang Yi would not refuse. Kong Qingci would be bored alone, and although Qingshan Village was small, it had beautiful scenery, so it might as well be a relaxing holiday.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Fang Yi parked the car at the village entrance. As soon as they got out, they saw a few children playing "eagle catching chicks." Seeing Fang Yi, they all ran over.

This time, Fang Yi came prepared. He took out a large bag of candy from the car and distributed it to the children. It was summer, and except for a few girls, the boys wore shorts and were bare-chested, which kept them especially cool.

A boy about eight or nine years old, munching on candy, said unclearly, "Uncle Fang, last night we caught some thieves in our village."

Fang Yi raised an eyebrow and asked, "What happened?"

The young boy said, "What else could happen? A few men ran to Big Sister Xu He’s place last night in the dark. At first, no one noticed, but later the dogs barked fiercely. Everyone went over there, caught those men, held them down on the ground, and beat them up badly. One of them got beaten up like a pig’s head, and he warned us to be careful. He said his dad is very powerful and arrogant."

Fang Yi couldn’t help but laugh. Kong Qingci, who was listening, was somewhat surprised to find how fierce the villagers were.

Fang Yi had seen the fierceness of these villagers before, so he was not surprised. Afterwards, he distributed all the candy in the bag, then took Kong Qingci to Xu He’s house.

When they reached the house, they saw a crowd of villagers gathered around. Someone shouted, and the crowd dispersed, allowing Fang Yi and Kong Qingci to make their way through and see the anxious father of Xu He.

Seeing Fang Yi, Xu’s father breathed a sigh of relief, quickly pulled Fang Yi aside, and whispered, "Xiao Fang, you’ve come just in time. Come in with me, we’ve gotten into big trouble this time."

Fang Yi said, "I’ve heard about it. Those men you caught last night, one of their dads is quite powerful, isn’t he?"

Xu’s father didn’t know what "powerful" really meant, but he interpreted it as someone very formidable. He nodded and whispered softly, "That young master said his dad is the top official in Southern Domain City, a real kingpin there. Now we’re really in big trouble."

Fang Yi smiled and said, "It was just a beating, nothing serious." If it were up to Fang Yi’s typical behavior, catching that Kong Mingkai would result in a severe thrashing, not stopping until a few pieces of flesh were gone.

Xu’s father smiled ruefully and said, "I feel the same. These people wanted to secretly photograph He He, and I too wanted to give them a good beating. But... but..."

Fang Yi felt something was off. Seeing Xu’s father hesitating so much, he hurriedly asked, "Uncle Xu, speak up, what exactly happened?"

Xu’s father stomped his foot hard and said, "Alas, I don’t know who did it last night, but someone stepped too hard on that man’s privates. It didn’t seem so bad last night because he passed out, but this morning, he started screaming in pain. When I went over to check, it turns out his privates were crushed."

At this point, Xu’s father was filled with regret.

If it had been any ordinary thief, it wouldn’t have been much of an issue, even if they had been crippled, there would have been a way, but the person they attacked this time was extraordinary, with an extremely powerful father. And someone had broken his manhood, which if investigated, would definitely implicate them.

Upon hearing Xu’s father’s words, Fang Yi’s expression was extraordinarily brilliant. Even though he had been somewhat prepared, he was still shocked. Damn it, these villagers were really fierce, aiming specifically below the belt when hitting someone.

Beside him, Kong Qingci also heard Xu’s father’s words, and upon learning that Kong Mingkai’s manhood had been crushed, her expression was equally brilliant.

Under Xu’s father’s expectant gaze, Fang Yi sighed and said to himself, "Crushed, huh? That’s about right..."

"What?"

"Nothing, Uncle Xu, where are the people detained? I’ll go and see." Fang Yi said quickly, "You first ask the villagers to leave, crowding around the door isn’t helping. Also, tell them to keep their mouths shut for now, let’s not leak any news of this. The law doesn’t punish the many, nothing will come of it."

Hearing Fang Yi say this, Xu’s father breathed a sigh of relief and told Fang Yi where those men were detained before going to dismiss the villagers.

"What law doesn’t punish the many? My fourth uncle has only one son, and with his son’s manhood broken, the family line is also broken. I fear my fourth uncle might fight back, and these villagers might all suffer."

Kong Qingci said as a warning.

Fang Yi nodded, showing he heard, but didn’t say much more and directly went to the backyard, where the group was detained in a room.

The room had a small window, and Fang Yi didn’t go in immediately. Instead, he looked through the window at the few people inside, seeing Kong Mingkai among them along with some other ruffians.

Kong Mingkai was leaning in a corner, his legs spread straight out as if afraid of disturbing his injury, his hands tied up, his face full of anger and pain.

"These villagers... I, Kong Mingkai, will remember them! I will make sure they all go to prison!" Kong Mingkai cursed through clenched teeth, his voice full of venom.

"Young Master Kong," one ruffian said softly, "Be patient, for now, bear it. This time it’s our stealthy approach that’s at fault. But those villagers are probably scared as well; after all, your father is Secretary Kong, these villagers will face their karma sooner or later."

Hearing this, Kong Mingkai temporarily suppressed his anger.

Just then, another ruffian asked softly and with concern, "Young Master Kong, does... does it still hurt down there?"

Better left unmentioned, as Kong Mingkai, fueled by his anger, had forgotten about it. But upon mention, the pain echoed again, instantly sending him into a grimace of severe pain.

"Dare to mention this again, I’ll kill you!" Kong Mingkai burst out cursing.

The ruffians immediately silenced, not daring to mention it again, but occasionally someone glanced at Kong Mingkai’s groin, a face full of pity shaking their heads at the plight of their young master, so young and already ruined.

Fang Yi took all this in, and Kong Qingci also heard the conversation between Kong Mingkai and the ruffians. The two backed off, Fang Yi stroking his chin, thinking hard about strategies. This situation was indeed a bit tricky.

Kong Lingxuan’s faults hadn’t been investigated yet. If Kong Lingxuan truly became enraged, it might be that all the villagers indeed would suffer. If force didn’t work, they had to switch to soft tactics. Every official had ways of making people suffer, and Kong Lingxuan, sitting in the position of the top leader of Southern Domain City, certainly had several tricks up his sleeve.

Kong Qingci seemed to see Fang Yi’s dilemma and said with a light laugh, "I do have a plan."
