"That bastard Ye Xiu is just deliberately making things difficult for us," Ye Shaokang said indignantly. "He said we were responsible for constructing a five-hundred-meter road, but we didn't expect there to be two small mountains on the route. We have to tunnel through them first, and he didn't even provide us with tools or explosives. Does he expect us to dig through the mountains with our bare hands?"
In response to Ye Shaokang's anger, Ye Tianming replied with a relaxed smile, "Shaokang, what's there to be upset about? It's not like we're tired. As the saying goes, 'The rulers have their policies, and the people have their countermeasures.' Ye Xiu thinks we're suffering and being tortured in these mountains, but little does he know we've captured a group of laborers to do the work for us."
Master Long laughed. "Actually, we should be thanking Ye Xiu. If we had stayed in Yunluo City, Kristina would have killed us by now. This isn't torture; he actually saved us."
