Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment Chapter 2061: I’ve Never Seen Such a Shameless Person!

"We, we..." The middle-aged husband and wife stuttered, clearly aware that Zhuang Xiaoqiao possessed a formidable background.
Her cold expression caused their arrogance to vanish instantly, and their aura withered.
"Get lost right now!" Zhuang Xiaoqiao barked in a low tone, sending the couple scurrying away in a panic.
Even after their departure, Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s fury didn't subside. She remained visibly incensed. "If my Grandpa hadn't forbidden me from taking things too far, I would have tossed those scumbags into the ocean to be shark bait!"
Hearing her outburst, Ye Feng realized she must have uncovered some unpleasant truths. He offered some comfort before inquiring about the specifics of the situation.
"It is exactly as Ling’er and the others described; that pair is absolutely revolting..." Zhuang Xiaoqiao proceeded to explain everything she had discovered.
The root of the conflict was Hai Ling’er’s Second Uncle and his family, who had spent years leeching off Hai Ling’er’s household.
Following the death of Hai Ling’er and Hai Xiaoyao’s father, the Second Uncle’s family bullied the survivors, seizing ancestral property that rightfully belonged to them.
They never once offered to help the girls. In fact, when Hai Ling’er’s family was so destitute they could barely eat a few years ago, the relatives acted as if they were strangers. Usually, if the Second Uncle’s family crossed paths with them, they would look the other way and pretend not to recognize them.
Their memory only returned once Hai Ling’er and Hai Xiaoyao befriended Zhuang Xiaoqiao. After Zhuang Xiaoqiao intervened to improve their lives—moving them from a dilapidated shack into a grand villa—the relatives suddenly remembered their roles as Second Uncle and Aunt, plotting ways to extract favors.
"Just like earlier today. They caught wind of the fact that we caught a massive amount of blue crabs yesterday and showed up to take advantage again," Hai Ling’er added, her voice dripping with resentment toward her kin.
"How can people be so shameless!"
"I can't stand them!" Hai Xiaoyao shouted, her anger matching her sister's.
When their mother arrived to calm the situation and soothe their nerves, the girls stopped venting and instead pulled Ye Feng and Zhuang Xiaoqiao toward the table for breakfast.
Once the meal was finished, the group prepared to head back out to the sea.
However, as they began to move out, Ye Feng’s sharp senses picked up on something unusual.
They were being followed.
The ones trailing them were none other than Hai Ling’er’s Second Uncle and Aunt, Hai Li and Yang Wei.
Believing their tracks were well-hidden, the duo carried their baskets and tools while maintaining a distance. They tried to blend in with the large crowd of people heading for the sea-harvesting, but their true target was clearly Ye Feng’s party.
It appeared they refused to give up; if they couldn't get what they wanted through confrontation, they would try to steal it from the shadows. They were attempting to play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, oblivious to the oriole watching from behind.
Ye Feng let out a silent smirk. After a moment of reflection, a clever plan formed in his mind.
He led Zhuang Xiaoqiao and the sisters on a winding path for a while before suddenly picking up the pace, heading toward a beach tucked behind a thicket of trees.
"Everyone, over here! Based on the soil and the way the tide hits this spot, there should be plenty of razor clams hidden beneath the surface. Start digging!" As he spoke, he pulled out a small shovel and began to work the sand. Within moments, he unearthed a plump, fresh clam.
"Big Brother Ye Feng is amazing!" Hai Ling’er and Hai Xiaoyao cheered. They rushed to the spot and began digging enthusiastically.
"You're like a Greek god of the sea!" Zhuang Xiaoqiao exclaimed with excitement, joining in with her own shovel.
"I knew following them would pay off," Hai Li and Yang Wei whispered to each other from their hiding spot. They quickly emerged and hurried toward the group.
"What a coincidence, Ling’er, Xiaoyao!"
"Are you girls hunting in this area too?"
Hai Li offered a few fake pleasantries before immediately shoving his spade into the ground, eager to start his own harvest.
