I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 454 - 452: That person is Zhang Menglong’s father
"Hua Qiuyu, what the hell are you doing?" At this moment, a stream of curses came from the side, "How many times have I warned you? When it rains, it should be gentle. Are you trying to drown the crops in the fields with this heavy rain?"
The overseer held a golden whip in his hand, and from a distance of over a dozen meters, a golden light struck directly across his back, immediately flaying the flesh open on Hua Qiuyu's back.
"Is... is that the legendary God-beating Whip?" Lying on the ground, the brothers Hua Qiuyun and Hua Qiufeng looked at the whip in the overseer's hand, recalling the descriptions in ancient books; the God-beating Whip was also a divine weapon in Huaxia's history!
"Ahh!" Hua Qiuyu screamed in agony, for the God-beating Whip could harm not only the physical body but even the soul, making him wish for death with just one lash.
"I told you to stop this reckless rain-making!"
"Mr. Zhang pays you 8000 US dollars a month for food and accommodation to work. Is this your work ethic?"
"Snap!"
"Splash!"
Whip after whip lashed on Hua Qiuyu's body, and likewise struck deep into the hearts of Hua Ye and the others.
...
"You! It's you!"
At that time, lying on the ground, Hua Qiuyun and Hua Qiufeng suddenly remembered that incident.
10 years ago, when their family was at its peak, they accidentally offended a mysterious figure. Since then, the Dragon King disappeared, and their entire family suddenly became extremely low-key.
The outside world speculated that it was perhaps their excessive showiness that had incurred the displeasure of those above, leading them to become somewhat more subdued.
But in reality, it wasn't like that at all. After sorting out the Dragon King, that person burst into the Hua Family, beating up their experts, smashing and tossing things around in the Hua household.
The entire Hua Family had to pay with money and land, bowing and scraping just to placate that person's anger, like grandchildren.
Even within the Hua Family, this was a huge secret because the incident was too disgraceful; being beaten up on their own doorstep, humiliated thoroughly, and then unable to do anything about it but to send the intruder off with their tails between their legs—such a matter was not just shameful to disclose publicly but also an utter humiliation even within the family!
Years had passed, and the incident had gradually faded from the memory of the Hua Family, but on this day, they recalled the fear of being dominated by that mysterious figure ten years ago.
At that time, Hua Qiuyun and Hua Qiufeng were present. Back then, they were Level Five super psychics, considered top experts in their era!
But the opponent, with just one look, dispelled their supernatural abilities, a gap so vast it was despairing.
Only now did they notice that Zhang Menglong bore a 90% resemblance to that man from back then!
"The incident from 10 years ago was you..." Upon hearing what Zhang Menglong just said about the Dragon King, Hua Ye realized that his father had offended Zhang Menglong's father ten years ago. Though the Hua Family couldn't be said to have collapsed since then, they had certainly been greatly weakened.
Today, he had repeated the mistake by provoking Zhang Menglong, and he could scarcely imagine the consequences. If Zhang Menglong, in a fit of rage, stormed the Hua Family just like his father had, putting aside whether anyone in the Hua Family could withstand Zhang Menglong's bodyguard, just the fact that he had provoked Zhang Menglong meant that the elders in his family would probably not let him off the hook first.
Is this the kind of person you can afford to provoke?
But how could he have known it would be such a coincidence? His father had offended Zhang Menglong's father, and he had offended Zhang Menglong—is this what they call fate?
"Mr. Zhang, this might be a misunderstanding, I..." At this moment, if Hua Ye were to persist in his obstinacy, then he must have a problem with his brain. The man his entire family couldn't afford to offend—what gave him the right?
Did he even think of robbing the Fuxi zither from someone else? On what grounds?
"Misunderstanding?" Zhang Menglong pointed at the two people on the ground and said, "I don't think this is any misunderstanding. You crashed into my car, tried to rob me, and even threatened me. Now you're telling me this is a misunderstanding? Are you an idiot, or am I an idiot?"
"Mr. Zhang, I was wrong in what happened this time, and I want to apologize to you," Hua Ye, who could bow and unbend, said, "I damaged your car, and whatever the compensation should be, that it shall be. I hope you can forgive me."
"Forgive you? If apologies were useful, then what would we need the police for?" Zhang Menglong sneered, "If I weren't capable enough today, would you have let me go?"
Hua Ye was stunned for a moment. If today Zhang Menglong were just an ordinary level three martial artist from the Mythical Realm, he would definitely commit the act of silencing him by murder.
A Divine Artifact like the Fuxi zither, news of it must be kept under wraps, absolutely not letting anyone know any information about it. Even if Zhang Menglong honestly handed over the Fuxi zither, they couldn't possibly let him go!
"I had already given you a chance at the beginning. If at that time you had compensated me honestly and apologized, I could have treated you like a fart and let it go. Now, it just isn't that simple anymore."
"Look, this Dragon King now earns a monthly salary of 8000 yuan at my house, with room and board included. Life is quite comfortable. I think, why don't you guys come work at my house too? 8000 a month, until you repay the debt of 125 million US Dollars, then you can go back."
Hua Ye's expression turned to that of extreme alarm. With a monthly 8000 yuan for three people, that's 24,000 yuan. Based on 125 million US Dollars, they would have to work for over thirty thousand years without eating or drinking to repay the debt!
"What? Unwilling? That's fine too. Just repay the money you owe me in one go," Zhang Menglong said, "For emotional distress, 10 billion US Dollars. For loss of time, 10 billion US Dollars. You frightened my girlfriend, another 10 billion US Dollars. This car of mine is a limited edition that money can't just buy; let's also call it 10 billion. Plus a pacification fee, another 10 billion US Dollars. After that, I won't bother you."
"50 billion US Dollars? Why don't you just rob me?"
"No, it's 50 billion US Dollars per person," Zhang Menglong said with a smile, "I am robbing you!"
"I don't have that much money," Hua Ye said through clenched teeth. The maximum funds he could use amounted to only several billion US Dollars, which weren't even enough to cover the smallest fraction of their ransom.
"You don't, but your dad might," Zhang Menglong said, "Go ask your dad to spend the money to redeem you! I'll give you one chance to make a call."
A series of twitches crossed Hua Ye's face. He had bragged with certainty about this matter, and he could already imagine the furious expressions and tones of his father upon learning of this incident.
But he believed that if he couldn't produce the money, Zhang Menglong would definitely do something like sending them off to work. This man truly was capable of anything!
"Fine, I'll call!"

Hua Ye took out his mobile phone and dialed his father's number.
"How's it going, is the matter settled? Did you get the Fuxi zither?" Hua Tianze's voice came from the other end of the phone, filled with anticipation and excitement. If they could really get their hands on the Fuxi zither, their family's status in Longxia would definitely rise by a significant step, even giving them the strength to directly confront the leader of Longxia!
"Dad... we failed," Hua Ye said dejectedly, "This... I was horribly mistaken."
"What happened?" Hua Tianze's heart suddenly clenched, "Does this Zhang Menglong have some other origin?"
"Dad, do you remember what happened in our family ten years ago?"
Hua Tianze's face turned to stone, as a despairing possibility entered his mind, "This Zhang Menglong, is he related to that man?"
"That person, he is Zhang Menglong's father..."
