The phone rang a few times before it was picked up.

“h.e.l.lo,” Zhang Yaonan’s voice came from the microphone, but it sounded tired and depressed.

“Cousin, it’s me. I have something I need your help with.” Liu Jinshui did not hear Zhang Yaonan’s tone and hurriedly went straight to the point.

“What is it?”

“A group of people came to my coal mine just now…” Liu Jinshui explained the ins and outs of the matter and then added, “Aren’t you very familiar with the leader in charge of the mines? Can you help me think of a way?”

“You should settle your own matters. I can’t help you now.” Zhang Yaonan’s tone did not change at all after he heard what was said. He was like an emotionless machine.

Liu Jinshui immediately became anxious. “I can’t talk to the leader. Cousin, you have to handle this matter.”

“Don’t worry. As long as I get the mining rights of this gold mine, I’ll give you 50% of the profits.”

He knew that his cousin was a money-grubber. He definitely wouldn’t do anything that didn’t benefit him.

As long as he agreed to take out 50% of the profits, the other party would definitely nod and agree.

However, he had clearly miscalculated this time.

Zhang Yaonan’s tone was still lifeless. “I really can’t help you.”

“I’m like a rat on the street now. Those people can’t wait to avoid me. It’s impossible for them to answer my calls.”

Liu Jinshui was stunned. “Cousin, what happened?”

Zhang Yaonan let out a long sigh and immediately told him what happened that day.

After Liu Jinshui heard this, he was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time. “That woman’s background is actually so strong?”

“One phone call and all of Cousin’s businesses and connections are gone?”

Zhang Yaonan’s voice was filled with endless bitterness. “Jinshui, cousin will give you a piece of advice. Don’t look down on anyone, because you will never know how powerful their background is.”

“If you need to take a step back, then take a step back. Don’t get yourself involved.”

Liu Jinshui glanced at Ye Feng and the rest, he smiled nonchalantly. “Cousin, don’t worry, how can we meet such a person with such a powerful background?”

“It’s just a small exploration team. I don’t believe they can do anything to me.”

When Ye Feng heard his words, a smile appeared on his face.

If you seek benevolence, you will get benevolence. If you seek a hammer, you will get a hammer.

Since the other party had already said so, wouldn’t he be too disappointed if he didn’t do something?

He immediately took out his phone.

Ye Feng immediately called the deputy leader of the safety team, Guo Jiliang.

“h.e.l.lo, Little Ye, what’s the matter?” The phone only rang once before it was picked up by Guo Jiliang, and his tone was very friendly.

“Team Leader Guo, I need to shut down a small coal mine.” Ye Feng did not beat around the bush, he went straight to the point.

“Alright, tell me the name of this coal mine. I’ll call their supervisor.” Guo Jiliang did not ask for the reason and directly asked him for the name of the coal mine.

Ye Feng told him the name of the coal mine and then hung up.

The entire process took less than ten seconds.

Liu Jinshui witnessed the entire process of Ye Feng’s phone call, but he still had a disdainful smile on his face.

At this moment, his cousin Zhang Yaonan’s voice suddenly came from the phone. “Jinshui, who’s on the phone?”

His voice had been lifeless today, and this was the first time there was a fluctuation in it.

Liu Jinshui smiled nonchalantly. “He’s the one I told you about just now. He’s the one who injured more than 50 of my subordinates.”

“That guy is indeed skilled, but he’s too arrogant. I don’t know who he’s calling, saying that he wants to shut down my coal mine.”

“This voice sounds a little familiar… What does he look like?” Zhang Yaonan continued to ask.

“He’s quite tall, about 1.8 meters tall. He’s quite handsome and gentle…” Liu Jinshui briefly described Ye Feng’s appearance.

After Zhang Yaonan heard his description, his voice suddenly trembled. “Is there a woman next to him?”

“Uh… There are two women by his side. Which one are you talking about?” Even if Liu Jinshui was a fool, he could tell that his cousin’s voice was a little abnormal.

“A very beautiful woman.”

“Both of them are pretty.”

“She has long hair with some wavy curls. Her eyes are big, and there’s a mole under the corner of her eye…”

Through his cousin’s description, Liu Jinshui quickly locked onto Zhuang Xiaoqiao.

Almost all the characteristics matched.

His heart thumped as he had a bad feeling.

“Yes, cousin. How did you know?”

“Liu Jinshui, Liu Jinshui, you’re dead this time!” Zhang Yaonan’s tone was very sinister, making people shudder.

Liu Jinshui shivered. “Cousin, don’t scare me. What happened?”

“These two people are the ones I offended the day before yesterday.”

“If you don’t want to end up like me, apologize to them and beg for mercy immediately.”

“Pay the fine, accept the punishment, get them to forgive you, or…”

Liu Jinshui could no longer listen to Zhang Yaonan’s words. His mind was rumbling.

He only remembered one sentence. “These two are the two people I offended that day.”

Even his cousin, who was so powerful, was defeated by a phone call.

In the eyes of others, a small player like him was just a piece of cake.

At the thought of this, his knees instantly went soft and he knelt on the ground with a plop. “I’m sorry, Big Brother, I… I was wrong, please forgive me…”

His att.i.tude changed too quickly.

Earlier, he was still looking down on Ye Feng, but now, he was kneeling on the ground.

Lan Xingyue and the others were confused.

Ye Feng shrugged helplessly. “Sorry, it’s too late.”

“Your coal mine will soon be shut down for an investigation. Of course, if there are no problems with the investigation, you will be allowed to continue operating. However, if there are major safety risks and other problems, it’s hard to say.”

Liu Jinshui was so scared that his face turned pale.

His small coal mine could not even be said to have a “problem.” It was a big problem.

In order to save money, all the safety facilities were not up to standard.

Previously, when people died in safety accidents in the mine, they spent money to settle it privately.

If the higher-ups really wanted to investigate, his coal mine would definitely close down.

“Big brother… No, Grandpa, please spare my life. I beg you to let me off. I’ll give you all my money. Please be magnanimous…”

Liu Jinshui no longer cared about his face and began to kowtow desperately.

Bang bang bang! After a few consecutive hits, his forehead became a b.l.o.o.d.y mess.

“You brought this upon yourself. I’ve already given you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. You’ll have to bear the consequences.” Ye Feng had no pity for such people.

Liu Jinshui was about to say more when his phone suddenly rang.

Trembling, he picked up the phone. As soon as he put it to his ear, he heard a dignified voice from the other end. “Are you the boss of Mang Mountain Coal Mine, Liu Jinshui?”
