The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C591 – Are You Deaf?

The door swung open to reveal a young man with a bald head, reeking of alcohol and clearly inebriated.

He squinted at Su Ming, a look of confusion on his face, and gave him a once-over. “Where’s the delivery?”

“Right here.”

Su Ming grinned, pulling a piece of cotton candy from his pocket.

“What the—this is it?!”

The bald youth was incredulous. All that anticipation for a delivery and it was just cotton candy?

​Well, it was better than nothing.

Might as well eat it.

Without another word, he popped the cotton candy into his mouth.

Wow!

Surprisingly, it wasn’t bad—actually pretty sweet.

Su Ming followed suit, taking out another piece of cotton candy and tossing it into his mouth.

“Hey, are you seriously eating the customer’s food? Hold on, why aren’t you wearing your uniform? Who are you, and what are you up to?”

He was supposed to be on a kidnapping job, but the alcohol had dulled his senses. Now that he was sobering up, he realized something was off.

“Help! There’s trouble at the door!”

​The bald man snapped to attention, yelling loudly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Huh?”

But after his shout, all was silent.

Well, not silent per se—there was the constant clatter of mahjong tiles from the next room, but no one came to investigate.

“Hey!”

Just then, Su Ming smiled. “Nice weather we’re having today, huh?”

“Uh, yeah.”

The bald man replied automatically, then paused, bewildered. Why was he discussing the weather?

But before he could ponder it further—

“Smack!”

Su Ming, seeing the young man’s momentary distraction, slapped him across the face.

“Damn it!”

The pain sent stars across the young man’s vision. Su Ming was not only physically enhanced but also skilled in combat.

This guy might be tougher than the average Joe, but he was no match for Su Ming.

Staggering back several steps, he landed with a thud on the coffee table, sending glass and beer bottles clattering to the floor.

“Jesus! Are you all deaf? Can’t you hear this racket?”

The bald youth winced in agony, spewing a stream of curses.

Su Ming let out a sly chuckle and strode into the room.

​Upon seeing this, the bald youth scrambled to his feet, desperately trying to make a dash for the adjacent bedroom.

He barely made it a few steps before Su Ming seized him by the scruff of his neck.

​The beating that followed was so severe it seemed as if the bald youth had grown hair from the pain.

Adrenaline had surged through him during the assault.

Now, his head was covered in large welts, with a few black hairs poking through, his face bruised and swollen. Su Ming ripped a piece of clothing from the sofa into strips and bound the man tightly.

Yet, he pointedly refrained from gagging him.

“Help, somebody’s broken in!”

“Are you all deaf? Did you drink your ears away?”

“How can you not hear such a loud noise?”

The bald youth sat on the ground, yelling until his voice was raw.

​Eventually, his voice turned raspy, barely able to muster a shout.

Finally, he surrendered to silence.

Am I dreaming?

Something’s not right. Why can’t my companions hear me when I’m shouting so loudly?

But that doesn’t make sense.

He can hear me.

Damn it!

Is it those damned fools inside planning to move the hostages?

They don’t want to share the money with me?

That’s extreme.

Seven people in a house, and to avoid splitting the money with one, they bring in another person?

There’s no deep-seated grudge between us. It’s not worth it.

As the bald youth questioned his existence, Su Ming, still smiling, made his way to another bedroom.

He tried the doorknob, found it locked, and without a moment’s hesitation, kicked the door open.

The bald youth’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

Could no one hear the commotion?

Surely the people upstairs and downstairs must have heard something.

Perhaps they’ve even called the police by now?

What in the world is happening? Can someone please explain this to me? I feel like I’m losing my mind.

The bedroom was dimly lit, with a slender, haggard figure sitting by the window.

Upon hearing the door open, Xiao Ke’er didn’t even turn around.

Su Ming approached with a smile, pulled out a marshmallow from his pocket, and popped it into Xiao Ke’er’s mouth.

Xiao Ke’er jumped in fright and instinctively bit down hard.

“Damn it!”

She had bitten Su Ming’s finger. Su Ming quickly withdrew his hand. Luckily, his body had been enhanced; otherwise, he would have surely bled.

“Hmm?”

Hearing a familiar voice, Xiao Ke’er paused, then turned to see Su Ming standing there.

“It’s you?!”

She immediately stood up. Xiao Ke’er looked slightly pale, and she had lost weight since their last encounter, but her spirits seemed high. Clearly, her captors had only confined her and hadn’t dared to harm her.

“How did you get here? How did you find me?”

Xiao Ke’er was visibly surprised.

“We can talk about that later. For now, let’s get you home,” Su Ming said with a smile.

​”Okay.”

Xiao Ke’er nodded, understanding that this wasn’t the place for a lengthy discussion.

They walked out of the bedroom together.

Upon seeing the living room, Xiao Ke’er was astounded. What had happened here? It looked like a battlefield!

The room was littered with broken bottles, and a shattered fish tank lay beside them, with fish flopping about on the floor.

It was total chaos!

Yet, in the adjacent bedroom, those guys were just drinking, chatting, and playing mahjong. How could they not have heard the commotion? Such a racket would have surely been heard by the neighbors next door, wouldn’t it?

“We’ll discuss this back home,” Su Ming said, not wanting to linger.

He led Xiao Ke’er downstairs, where the butler was waiting, frantic with worry. Upon seeing Xiao Ke’er, his face lit up with relief, and his eyes reddened with emotion as he approached her. “Miss, are you alright?”

“Steward, this isn’t the time for conversation. Call the police, have them arrest those scoundrels, and find out who’s behind this,” Su Ming instructed.

“We need to leave now.”

​”Okay.”

The butler understood the urgency and wasted no time. He quickly got into the car, called the police with the details, and then drove off with Su Ming and Xiao Ke’er. In the car, Xiao Ke’er clung tightly to Su Ming’s arm, resting her head on his shoulder.

Despite Xiao Ke’er being a well-bred young lady with a composed nature, it’s only natural for any girl to feel fear after going through such an ordeal.

Particularly when someone like Su Ming emerges as a hero to rescue her. Xiao Ke’er had already harbored a secret affection for Su Ming, and following this event, she felt no need to conceal her feelings any longer.

After all, no one can predict whether tomorrow or an unexpected event will come first.

Su Ming took Xiao Ke’er’s hand in his, offering comfort as they sat together in the back seat, both lost in their own thoughts and silent.
