"The three of them were gangsters," Fan Zhenguo recalled painfully. "They barged into my house, and not only did they beat me, but they also beat my father!
They smashed everything in my house and painted the walls with red paint … "
"They even threatened to take my wife away and make her a prostitute if I didn't pay them back …" Fan Zhenguo clenched his fists. "That day, I experienced the darkest moment of my life, and I was humiliated like never before!
They wouldn't let it go, and they did something to my wife. My child was so scared that she started crying … "
"I begged them until I agreed to sell my house. Only then did they agree to give me a few more days!"
"But … My house wasn't worth much. Besides, there was no shortage of houses in the old house, so no one would buy it!"
"From then on, my family was terrified. We borrowed money from our relatives and friends, but … the world was cruel. When I was doing well, they were always around my house, but when I went to ask them for help, not many people were willing to step forward to help us!"
"But, there were many poor people in my family. I knew that even if all my relatives were willing to lend me money, I wouldn't be able to repay all my debts!"
"Later, we were afraid that the three gangsters would come looking for us again, so my father came up with an idea to let the whole family hide in the mountains for a while!"
"My ancestors were hunters, and my father grew up in the mountains, so he had the ability to hunt. If we went into the mountains, although we lived a hard life, we wouldn't starve to death!"
"In the end, we really had no other choice, so we listened to my father's suggestion and packed up our things. Then, we sneaked out of the house in the dark of night and went into the mountains!"
"My father was quite familiar with the area around Tuoshan, so he knew that there was a Mountain God Temple deep in the mountains that could provide shelter for us. So, our whole family hid there …"
"At that time, we lived in the mountains for about half a month," Fan Zhenguo said. "Although it was hard, we were no longer so worried."
"Then, my father hunted, my son and I fished, and my wife tried to dig up some wild vegetables and fruits. Every day, we had a pretty good life!"
"Because the Mountain God Temple had not been repaired for a long time, and the rain leaked on rainy days, my father specially repaired the roof …"
"But … we never thought that a disaster was already waiting for us there …
"That day, there was a rare rainstorm in the mountains. It was still afternoon, but the sky was completely dark. It was so dark that it was scary …" Fan Zhenguo was completely immersed in his memories. His body tensed up nervously along with his memories. "At that time, I was fishing with my son by the river …
"Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, I was worried that something might happen, so I quickly returned to the Mountain God Temple.
"When we returned to the entrance of the temple, I suddenly remembered that there were dried fish and clothes drying on the mountain top, so I let my son go back to the temple first. I went to collect the clothes and dried fish!
"Then … then …" Fan Zhenguo's pupils dilated and he clenched his fists. He said painfully, "Without any warning, suddenly, the whole hillside collapsed!
"I didn't even have time to take a look before the Mountain God Temple was destroyed by the collapsing mountain!
"At that time, I also rolled down the collapsed hillside, and half of my body was buried in the mud. But at that time, my mind had already become blank, and I didn't know anything!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying looked at each other. They finally understood what had happened that year.
It seemed that the collapse of the hillside was purely a natural disaster, not man-made.
But … Although the collapse of the Mountain God Temple was not man-made, the cause of the collapse had a lot to do with Wu Chenglong and the others.
"I don't know how I survived in the end. In an instant, I was the only one left in our family!" Fan Zhenguo's eyes were dull, and he said blankly, "My father was gone, my wife was gone, and my children left me …"
"They … They were all buried under the hillside, along with the Mountain God Temple, and disappeared forever!
"I will never see them again!"
Fan Zhenguo trembled as he wiped his tears. He was in extreme pain.
"From that moment on, I had no reason to live anymore …" After a while, Fan Zhenguo's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light. "But, at that moment, the flame of revenge was awakened.
I finally realized that all my misfortune was caused by those b * stards! If it weren't for them, my cattle farm wouldn't have closed down, and my family would still be living a happy life!
If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have been forced into the mountains, and we wouldn't have been caught in the flash flood!
From that day on, revenge became the only reason for me to live. All I could think about was how to find those people and get even with them!
"Police officer," he raised his head and looked at Zhao Yu. "Didn't you ask me why it took me nearly 30 years to take action?
"Let me tell you, in fact …" Fan Zhenguo said with a complicated expression. "After my family died in the Mountain God Temple, I returned to Fu An alone to take revenge on those people!
I was holding a knife, and I just wanted to kill them one by one! So, after I found Peng Wenbiao, I went up and stabbed him!
However, Peng Wenbiao was stronger than me, and he had fighting experience. Although he was stabbed, he beat me up. If I hadn't kicked him and escaped, I would have been caught by them! "
"Later, I wanted to find Ba Hongxue and Qi Muge," Fan Zhenguo said. "But, before I could find them, I suddenly realized that they were looking for me all over the city!
After asking around, I realized how powerful my enemies were! "
"Wu Chenglong was a local tyrant. He was rich and powerful. Under those circumstances, seeking revenge on him was tantamount to seeking death!"
He shook his head, then said, "I had no choice but to leave Fu An temporarily. I went to a place far away from Meng Xiang and found a ranch to work for them!
While I was working, I began to exercise and practice martial arts. At the same time, I also read books and learned a lot of fighting skills and other skills.
I knew that my weak body wasn't enough to kill those villains for revenge! "
He shook his head, then said, "So, I settled down and began to conserve my energy, preparing for my revenge plan.
But, God made fools of me. Just when I was almost done with my training, Wu Chenglong was sent to prison, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment. As for Ba Hongxue and the rest, they were nowhere to be found! "
"Did you know?" Fan Zhenguo looked at his hands. "I thought that, as time passed, my hatred would gradually fade!"
He shook his head, then said, "However, the unforgettable hatred started to take root in me, like a seed. Whenever I closed my eyes, I could see the night my father, wife, and son died tragically …"
He shook his head, then said, "Then, I even had the urge to go to prison. I wanted to go there and kill Wu Chenglong!"
He shook his head, then said, "But, I didn't know much about the police's policies, so I was afraid that I would go to the wrong prison and fail!"
He shook his head, then said, "So, I started to look for Ba Hongxue and the rest, planning to start with them first."
He shook his head, then said, "But, in the process of asking about their whereabouts, I found out something new. It turned out that the plague on my ranch was caused by Wang Pengyi, the fodder seller!"
He shook his head, then said, "I didn't expect that he and Wu Chenglong were in cahoots. They first encouraged me to invest and expand the scale of production, then secretly drugged my cows!"
He shook his head, then said, "Their goal was to make me bankrupt, so that they could buy my ranch at a low price!" Fan Zhenguo punched his fist angrily, then said, "How could I let them go?!"
