Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands-Chapter 499: Don’t follow me
"This is why I told you not to drive your car," Village Head Chu sighed when she saw the flat tire of Qi Yongrui and Long Zhong's car. "The road to the village is uneven, and getting a flat tire is quite normal."
Qi Yongrui looked at the flat tire, and his expression became subtle. He didn't know why, but the closer he got to the village, the more the feeling of trepidation became. However, he couldn't drive back, and before he could even suggest it, the village head turned to look at the young man who was standing behind her and said to him, "Bring this car to the mechanic at the town. Tell her that we are in a hurry."
The young man nodded obediently before rushing inside the village. A few minutes later, the young man returned and he was driving a small motorcycle, which looked quite old.
"Forgive us," Village Head Chu said to Qi Yongrui and Long Zhong with a patient look on her face. "We only have this one vehicle in our village. We usually don't go to the town, and even if we do, we use the tractor."
Village Head Chu paused and then said to the two of them, "Why don't you stay at my house until Siwen returns with your car? Don't worry. The mechanic at the town is capable. He will send your car back in a few hours. After all, it is not a serious issue."
At this point, even if Qi Yongrui wanted to refuse, he couldn't. He pursed his lips and nodded.
The two mers followed Village Head Chu to the land that Qi Changpu wanted to purchase. The land was indeed good, just as Qi Changpu had told him; there was a lake and also quite a variety of flora. If they purchase this land, the scenic spot would be enough to attract the tourists.
Not to mention, there was an old tomb at the top of the mountain that was shrouded in a veil of mystery.
"I heard it from my great-grandmother, who heard it from her own ancestors." Seeing that Qi Yongrui and Long Zhong were interested in the ancestral tomb of their village, Village Head Chu started telling them about the history of their village as well as the tomb. "According to the ancestors of our village, this tomb belongs to an immortal. On a fortunate night, this tomb was erected at the top of the mountains."
"Ever since then, this village of ours has been blessed by the immortals themselves. As you can see, there is not a single Gloom stone in our village, and we can live our lives without worries."
Qi Yongrui nodded as he peered up at the mountain. Though Village Head Chu spoke with reverence, he couldn't help but shudder when he stared at the tomb. There was this gloomy air around the tomb, which made him feel terrified instead of awe.
Village Head Chu didn't seem to notice anything. She turned to look at Qi Yongrui and asked him, "What do you say, Master Qi? Do you like this piece of land?"
On the other hand, at the faraway mansion of the Wen family.
"Are you sure that nothing will go wrong, Father?" Wen Wan looked at his father with a nervous look on his face. Originally, he just wanted to get some thugs to deal with Qi Yongrui, but his father said that this was not enough and asked him to send Qi Yongrui to Chu village.
Father Wen turned and looked at his son and snorted, "You silly mer, what do you know? It is better to uproot such problematic troubles from the root itself. Do you think that if you teach Qi Yongrui a little lesson, your wife will let you off?"
"Qi Changpu is not a fool. She will understand that you were behind it."
"Then what about now?" Wen Wan asked with a frown. "I was the one who asked Qi Yongrui to go to that village."
Father Wen shook his head. He raised his hand and then poked his son on the forehead before saying, "Why are you so silly? Even though it was we who sent Qi Yongrui to that village, we were not the ones who sent him to that village. It was your wife. She was the one who agreed with the business proposal."
He snorted and stated, "What does Qi Yongrui's safety have to do with us? If anything, it was your wife who caused trouble. Even if she blames us, we can just blame her right back. Our family just made the suggestion; it was her who agreed in the end."
When Wen Wan heard his father's explanation, his eyes lit up. He blinked his eyes and said to his father with a smile, "You are right, father. The one who caused the trouble was my wife. How can she even think of blaming us?"
He paused and asked, "But are you sure that Qi Yongrui would die in that village?"

"Hundred and ten percent sure."
"Then what about the Luo family?" Wen Wan asked with a nervous look. Qi Yongrui was still Luo Huian's husband; if that mer died, then wouldn't the Luo family ask for compensation?
Father Wen snorted once again. "Leave this matter to your wife. Since she is the one who caused this mess, she will take care of it."
When he thought about how Qi Changpu was actually involved with Qi Yongrui in that way, he felt disgusted. If not for the fact that his wife and son were obsessed with the Qi family, he would have asked his son to divorce Qi Changpu.
No matter what, Qi Yongrui was her brother. Even if the two of them had no relationship, the two of them grew up together like brothers and sisters. Yet that woman was holding such feelings towards her adopted brother. It was disgusting.
Though Father Wen felt sorry towards Qi Yongrui, he would naturally protect his son. Letting Qi Yongrui stay alive would cause trouble for his son in the long run; what was more, Qi Changpu was not a simple woman.
He knew that his daughter-in-law was a woman with a rather stubborn mind. If Qi Yongrui stayed alive, then that woman would do anything and everything in her power to bring that mer to her side.
Father Wen could not afford to lose his face in such a manner.
The brother-in-law of his son became his rival in love? He couldn't allow such an immoral thing to happen under his nose.
Since that was the case, then Qi Yongrui could only die! As for Luo Huian, she didn't like her husband anyway; as long as they compensated her nicely, that woman shouldn't complain either.
"Achoo!" Qi Yongrui sneezed. He raised his hand and rubbed his nose while looking at the roasted lamb that was placed in front of him and Long Zhong. Though he understood that the villagers wanted to honour him and Long Zhong, he couldn't help but feel a bit troubled.
He turned to look at Village Head Chu and calmly said to him, "There is no need for such a grand lunch. We can eat something light; you can share this with the villagers."
"How can this be done?" Village Head Chu shook her head and refused. She served a few ribs to the two mers and said to them, "This is something that our village prepared for you and your friend. How can we serve you something light? You are the one who will be helping our village reach new heights."
When Qi Yongrui heard the words of Village Head Chu, he felt that there was something wrong. But for some reason, his head started to grow lighter, and all the worries that he had in his mind started to disappear. He slowly nodded, and Village Head Chu, who was sitting next to him, beamed widely.
"Make sure that you do not follow me unless I call for you three; you need to stay here." Luo Huian relayed the same order to the three people who came with her. There was no other choice; she was worried that Luo Qingling and the rest would forget her instructions and rush inside without her signal.
"We know, Huian." Luo Qingling was amused when she saw her little sister act as the elder one. She said to her, "We will not follow you unless you give us the signal."
"That's right," Duan Jia Xu and You Ruojin chimed from the sidelines. Their ears were about to bleed after listening to Luo Huian's continuous chants of don't follow me.
Luo Huian looked at the three with narrowed eyes, but she still nodded and then turned around to walk inside the village. But after taking three steps, she turned around and looked at Luo Qingling and the other two.
Sure enough, they were three steps closer than they were before.
"You Three!"
