Chapter 149 Clearing the Scene

Seeing the situation before her, Ouyang Lan quickly said, “He, Xiao Yifu, what are you doing? We’re all relatives; there’s no need to make it like this.”

“Relatives? Who’s related to you?” Kang Lei said, “You killed my wife and son; today, you must give an explanation.”

Ouyang Lan explained, “I’m also very sad about Xiao Hui and Xiao Jun’s deaths, but this was completely an accident. How can you say we killed them…?”

“Shut up!” Kang Lei rudely interrupted her, saying, “My wife kindly went to see you, but she died in your house. Do you dare say you bear no responsibility?”

At this moment, Ouyang De stepped forward and said, “Big Sister, Xiao Hui is your biological younger sister. Now that both mother and son are dead, you’re still shirking responsibility. Isn’t that too heartless?”

Ouyang Lan said, “Xiao Hui is already gone. Discussing responsibility has no meaning. Even if I am responsible!”

She had always been kind, and at this time, in this place, arguing with her relatives under the watchful eyes of everyone was too embarrassing, so she didn’t dwell on the topic.

“Finally admitting it, are you?” Kang Lei sneered, “Since you admit responsibility for Xiao Hui and Xiao Jun’s deaths, you must bear that responsibility.”

Ouyang Lan said, “Don’t worry, I will bear all their funeral expenses.”

Kang Lei said, “Just bearing funeral expenses? How can it be that cheap?”

Ouyang Lan said in surprise, “Then what else do you want?”

Kang Lei said, “Today, you must meet two conditions. First, compensate for the deaths of Xiao Hui and Xiao Jun, 10 million for each person.

Second, you and Ye Bufan must wear mourning clothes and see off my son and wife!”

As soon as he spoke, the surrounding people were in an uproar. 10 million per person, that’s 20 million, a compensation amount that is ridiculously high anywhere.

Putting aside the money, Ouyang Lan is Ouyang Hui’s elder sister and Kang Zhijun’s aunt. For someone of her seniority to wear mourning clothes for the two of them was a complete insult.

It must be said that Kang Lei’s two conditions were truly excessive; no one would agree to them.

But seeing the current situation, everyone could only whisper, secretly sympathizing with Ouyang Lan and her son in their hearts, but no one dared to stand up and speak.

Ouyang Lan was stunned: “He, Xiao Yifu, this is too much. No matter what, I am Xiao Hui’s elder sister and Xiao Jun’s aunt. How can I wear mourning clothes for them?”

Kang Lei said, “Today, whether you agree or not, you will agree.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Not only will you wear mourning clothes for my wife, but also for my son, and you will kneel until they are sent off!”

Originally, with two elders talking, Ye Bufan hadn’t planned to interject, but at this point, he was completely enraged.

However, this was Ouyang Hui’s mourning hall, and the deceased took precedence. He didn’t want to make things too difficult, so he pulled Ouyang Lan and said, “Mom, we don’t need to attend this kind of funeral. Let’s go back.”

From last night’s events until today, Ouyang Lan had been completely hurt by these relatives. She didn’t speak, but silently nodded, and followed Ye Bufan out of the funeral parlor.

“Want to leave? It’s not that easy!”

Kang Lei waved his hand, and the surrounding people immediately surrounded them in the center.

Ye Bufan frowned, looking at him and saying, “Your wife and son stayed in our house and wouldn’t leave, drove away my mother, and stole my mother’s clothes and jewelry.

Ultimately, their deaths were entirely their own fault and have nothing to do with our family. If you want to blame anyone for this, you can only blame their own greed; you can’t blame anyone else.

Out of respect for this being a mourning hall, I won’t argue with you. Quickly move out of the way!”

Ouyang De and the others stood by, arms crossed, watching the show with mocking expressions, showing no intention of intervening.

Kang Lei said aggressively, “What big talk! You dare say you won’t argue with me? I want to see what right you have to argue with me!”

I’m telling you, you must agree to my conditions today, or no one is leaving.”

He was completely unaware of what happened last night and still thought of Ye Bufan as the poor boy he could easily bully.

Moreover, he had gathered many people today, with the goal of forcing the mother and son to comply, so he felt very confident.

Ye Bufan’s expression turned cold, and he was about to teach these people a lesson, but just then, a flurry of footsteps came from the entrance of the mourning hall.

“Move, everyone move!”

After several loud shouts, a team of big men in black rushed into the mourning hall.

These people wore black suits, were tall and strong, and had a menacing Aura.

“It’s the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce!”

Upon seeing them, the guests in the funeral parlor scattered to both sides; no one dared to provoke the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce.

Kang Lei was stunned; he was just a small contractor and had no connection with the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce. He didn’t know why these people were here.

At this moment, Tang Jian strode in; he was also wearing a black suit.

Yesterday, Ye Bufan had asked him to bring people to attend the funeral. To make their Aura more imposing,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

He had his subordinates all wear matching black suits, which caused a slight delay.

Kang Lei was overjoyed. Tang Jian looked like he was here for the funeral. Since when did he have so much Face?

However, he couldn’t think too much about it now. If he could establish a good relationship with the chairman of the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce, he would surely thrive in Wufeng County in the future, and everyone would look up to him wherever he went.

He quickly went up to him with a fawning expression and said, “Chairman Tang, I didn’t expect you to come to my wife and son’s funeral…”

As he spoke, he extended both hands, wanting to shake hands, but Tang Jian didn’t even look at him. He scurried over to Ye Bufan, lowered his head, and said, “I’m late. Please punish Ye Ye!”

At this, Kang Lei simply couldn’t believe his eyes. How was Ye Bufan connected to the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce?

And Tang Jian had always been high and mighty, not putting all of Wufeng County in his eyes. Why was he so respectful to Ye Bufan, like he was his father, calling him Ye Ye? What was going on?

“Only this once; don’t let it happen again.” Ye Bufan hadn’t set a specific time for Tang Jian yesterday, so he didn’t say much more. He turned to Ouyang Lan and said, “Mom, let’s go!”

Ouyang Lan said, “Son, wait a moment. No matter what, your Xiao Yi is dead. I want to light an incense stick for her!”

Ye Bufan nodded. No matter how excessive the Ouyang Family acted, his mother ultimately couldn’t forget the bond of being born from the same mother.

He waved to Tang Jian, “Clear the area. My mom wants to light incense!”

“Understood, Ye Ye!”

Tang Jian agreed and immediately ordered his subordinates to clear the mourning hall.

“This…”

Kang Lei originally wanted to say a few words. This was his family’s mourning hall; why was he being driven out?

But neither the Kang family nor the ruffians he had hired dared to oppose the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce. Upon hearing Tang Jian’s words, they didn’t even need to be cleared out; they just ran out themselves.

The Ouyang Family ran the fastest, reaching outside the mourning hall before anyone else could react.

Seeing Tang Jian’s sharp gaze, he didn’t dare to utter a single sound and scurried out of the mourning hall in disgrace.

He had originally planned to take the opportunity to extort a large sum from Ouyang Lan and her son, but now it seemed his plan had fallen through. No one expected Tang Jian to appear out of nowhere.

Ye Bufan accompanied his mother to light an incense stick, and then, accompanied by Tang Jian, they walked out of the funeral parlor together.

Kang Lei and his subordinates watched from a distance, with no one daring to step forward and block them again.
