Ye Qian landed near the City Park area where there were high trees and people were less due to working hours still going on.
As he first looked around to see the changes in the City Park he was shocked a bit.
'Hey, wasn't here a barren ground the last time I saw?'
He went around the garden where he saw some old people having their evening exercise and kids playing with each other.
He was looking around when he heard some wooshing sound coming from behind.
He ducked to the right and stretched his hand to the left to catch a football that was about to hit him right in the head.
He caught the ball in his hand and turned around to see some high school kids coming towards him with embarrassed faces.
One of them came forward and bowed to Ye Qian and said "Sorry sir are you fine?"
Others nodded in the same manner.
Ye Qian said "Ah.. No, I am fine?"
They looked at him and nodded one of them said "Hey look this uncle was just about to be hit when he caught the ball see how fast his reflexes are."
"Yeah I think he is some athlete." the other nodded and said.
"Here take the ball and play I will go now." Ye Qian threw the ball at the one who came first and went without saying anything.
"Hmm, he is weird last time when we were playing a person was not even hit but said us to pay his medical fees he is dressed rather poor but is not like the ones which we met last time." Someone from them said while going back to their game.
__________
Ye Qian was on his way to his house near the city part in Star City with mouth agape.
It was nearly evening so the people were going back to their houses after their day off. He was dumbfounded by the way in which the city changed in just five years.
The people nearby walked away while seeing him for a few seconds then left.
'Hmph.. he must be from some backward village to be stunned by just seeing the city.'
Soon it turned darker and the pole light went on Ye Qian was walking towards his house about 2 blocks away when he heard some noise from the corner of the street he was passing by.
__________
"Bro this time we will hit two birds in one shot, see." A man said.
"How is it?" Another replied.
It was quite dark and a lady was surrounded by two hoodlums against a wall.
"Don't you see there is a pretty and rich chick in front of us?" the first or said. while licking his lips.
The woman was shuddering from fear while clutching her purse.
"Please I work on daily wages, I don't have much money you can take what I have but let me go." the woman said while still shaking from fear.
"Hehe no but we don't just want money but also some entertainment as well and you are going to be our entertainer. Right bro?" the hoodlum said while extending his hand towards the woman.
"Yes yes, I also want some entertainment." the second hoodlum nodded while saying.
"Please, somebody help!" the woman cried after shaking his hand with her purse.
"Nobody is going to come as we know this area thoroughly" the hoodlum replied while a devious smile.
"Please help!" the woman cried again.
"Hehe, didn't I say nobody will come." the hoodlum said while extending his hand again.
His hand was about to land on the woman when a cold wind blew behind him.
He felt his hairs standing and swiftly turned around.
As soon as he turned around his hand was gripped by someone.
"Brat leave my hand if you know what's good for you," he said while trying to free his hand.
He felt his hand gripped tightly with iron pincers as he tried to free it.
He again tried to free his hand with force but failed.
"You won't, do you?" he said while trying to punch the person in front of him.
"Crack"
As he punched his hand was met with another punch as well but a cracking sound was heard ad his knucklebones fractured.
He keeled down as his other hand was freed and clutched it while wailing loudly.
The other hoodlum got frightened from hearing his wailing and took his knife from the pocket.
He started waving it in front of him.
But as he waved to the right a slap landed on his face from the left.
He flew to the right side where he dropped in the garbage can wailing.
The woman stood up as she saw a handsome face and a slim figure in the dim light of the pole lights.
"Thank you, sir." the woman said.
She clasped her hands and thanked the person who saved her.
"It's alright you should go now remember to be cautious while walking alone." Ye Qian said to her while smiling.
She thanked him again and left.
Ye Qian turned to the two hoodlums of whom one was kneeling on the ground and the other was lying in the garbage who started to move now.
The man kneeling looked at Ye Qian and said "Sir let us go you can take our money but don't call the police."
Saying that he took out his wallet and removed some money from it.
He nodded to his brother and ran after throwing money towards Ye Qian.
"Um what was that." while scratching his head Ye Qian thought after looking in the direction they ran away.
"Well, the money was taken by them from others so I have done nothing wrong, besides I have no money now."
He took the money lying on the ground and left towards his house.
__________
His house was not too big but it had two floors.
He was flabergasted after seeing his house.
Apart from his small house the area nearby was surrounded by ongoing constructions.
He looked around and the area was silent and looked ghostly.
He went near the gate and it was locked.
"Did she left the house?" he thought in sorrow.
He looked around a bit closer to see that the electric meter box was still showing readings.
"Oh, she must have gone to work. She might return soon."
He thought after the rock in his heart settled.
__________
Meanwhile, a woman and a little girl about the age of five were walking on the street towards Ye Qian's house.
The woman looked graceful with her office styled clothes and the girl had two braided ponytails on her head she was a bit skinny, while she couldn't stop pattering her eyelashes as she asked the woman beside her.
"Mom what will we make today I am very hungry today, we played the whole day!"
The lady beside her said, "Qiqi I am also tired but since you want to eat something special, I will make your favourite dumplings today alright."
She patted her head while smiling towards her and walked.
"Thank you mom you are the best!" the little girl started jumping while walking.
"Ok, now walk properly or you might hurt yourself." the lady smiled and said.
"Yes mom." the little girl replied.
They entered the house as the woman said "Qiqi you take a quick nap while Mumma makes some dumplings."
The little girl nodded and went to the bedroom.
__________
Meanwhile, as they arrived at the house and as the lady opened the gate and went into the house, few cars came towards the house and a few robust men walked out of the one ahead, one of them walked to the back and opened the door of the other car.
A well-dressed man in a suit and glasses walked out and waved at them to follow him and walked towards the door of the house.
The seeming bodyguards walked behind him and entered the house.
__________
"Hello miss Yuan." the man in the suit said after entering the house in an unpolite manner.
Yuan Meng who was in the kitchen came out and in an annoyed tone, she said.
"Mr Su, I have told you I have no interest in selling this property. Why have you come here?"
The man looked at her and said while smiling.
"No Miss Yuan I come here to put forward the terms, see our boss is even offering more money for the property now all you have to do is sign the papers."
Yuan Meng said with an annoyed look.
"Mr Su do you want me to make a complaint against you to the police. I have told you many times I don't want to sell my house to anybody."
"Miss Yuan what's in the house you can buy many flats with the money you will receive by selling this old and rundown house of yours."
An evil glint flashed in his eyes and said.
"Besides, you have a small family consisting of you and your daughter what will happen if some accidents happen?"
By this time Yuan Meng was angered to the limit and said "Mr Su are you trying to threaten me."
"Well, you can think it that way." he smirked and said.
"Now you have to choices one take some money and sell the property to our Long Group or um um I guess you can understand." He snickered.
__________
As things were going this way Ye Qian who was waiting at the corner entered the house.
He thought that the people were having some work so he didn't want to disturb Yuan Meng so he decided to go into the house after they left.
As he heard the conversation sudden rage filled his heart.
He looked around at the people and turned towards Yuan Meng.
Seeing him she was shocked and blanked for a while as her eyes turned moist.
Her lips started quivering and her body started shaking.
"Who are you?" the man in suit Mr Su asked seeing a man entering the house.
"You don't need to know, just get out of the house." Ye Qian said as he smiled towards Yua Meng and turned his head towards them with rage.
"Boy, you sure are courageous." Mr Su snickered and turned towards his men.
"Go out we have some work here, don't you see?" Mr Su said.
"Yes, I can clearly see that you are threatening my wife." Ye Qian said rage filling his eyes.
"Oh, are you her husband, miss Yuan when did you marry again, didn't your husband die?" Mr Su turned to Yuan Meng and said with a mocking smirk.
