Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

The rain finally stopped, but the storm in Zhang Dong's heart had only just begun.

He barely slept that night, his heart surging with endless excitement and anticipation.

Looking back on his previous life, Zhang Dong lived in Woniu Village, Jincheng, and was an unknown, cowardly, and incompetent young man.

At that time, his family was in dire straits due to huge high-interest loans, and they could not even guarantee their basic dignity.

Tang Guo's tragedy, in particular, deeply wounded his heart at that time. He should have been the one to protect Tang Guo, but back then, he was powerless to do anything, helplessly watching her fate spiral into an irreversible abyss…

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Dong stopped dwelling on the regrets of his past life and focused on the present, starting to make plans.

"To change one's fate, one must fundamentally break free from the current predicament..."

The most urgent task is to resolve those debts.

My parents have exhausted all their resources, even their strength and dignity, to pay off this debt.

Zhang Dong's goal, however, was not simply to pay off his debts, but to completely break free from his constraints and take control of his own destiny.

However, to truly escape this social class and achieve change, the first thing needed is start-up capital.

Besides debts, his family had almost no money left to use.

Although Grandma had some hidden savings, she would never easily hand them over.

Just as Zhang Dong was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside the door: "Rent is due! Hurry up and give me the money, or get out!"

Zhang Dong immediately got up and looked out the window. He saw a young man in a suit and tie swaggering into the mine's residential building like a robber.

Behind him followed a burly man who looked like a menacing opponent.

Upon seeing this person appear, Zhang Dong recalled that disgusting name in his mind—Wang Dong.

This Wang Dong is the villain who personally ruined Tang Guo's life.

Every time Zhang Dong recalled the suffering Tang Guo endured at his hands, a raging fire burned in his heart.

Relying on his father's power and the mine's background, Wang Dong was practically lawless in Jincheng.

He committed all sorts of bad deeds, including robbery, extortion, and rape, and always managed to get away with it without facing any punishment.

Zhang Dong remembered that it was because of Wang Dong that Tang Guo's life was completely changed.

That day, Zhang Dong's father and mother were busy with their own work, while Wang Dong took the opportunity to corner Tang Guo in the backyard toilet and forcibly assaulted her.

At that time, everyone feared the power of his father, Wang Jianguo, and no one dared to stop him. Tang Guo's suicide was a pain that Zhang Dong could never forget for the rest of his life.

"This bastard will definitely pay the price!" Zhang Dong made up his mind.

Zhang Dong knew that even if he were reborn, he would still be an ordinary person with no family background.

If he rashly confronts Wang Dong, he may face irreversible consequences.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dong suddenly remembered some of the practices of Wang Dong's father, Wang Jianguo, at the mine.

He used his position of power to steal minerals from the mines and then sold them to others at low prices.

It was this act of mining that allowed the Wang family to gradually amass wealth and lay the foundation for their fortune.

Wang Jianguo's ambitions did not stop there. He later wanted to expand the storage of the ore, so he bought the entire Woniu Mountain as storage land.

Unexpectedly, this action led the Wang family to discover that Woniu Mountain actually contained abundant mineral resources!

So, within a few months, Wang Jianguo opened a mine.

He became a tycoon overnight by relying on Woniu Mountain!

This information is crucial for Zhang Dong!

He's already figured out how to make money at this time!

Zhang Dong gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed intently on Wang Dong. He had made up his mind: he must seize this great opportunity to make a fortune from the Wang family!

If the Wang family can rise to prominence through the mines, why can't I?

"Hey! Tang Guo, do you need to use the restroom?"

The silence was broken by a playful laugh.

"The outhouses here are dirty and smelly. Why don't you come to my house? My dad bought a ceramic toilet with a septic tank. After you're done, you just flush it into the septic tank. It's very clean and hygienic."

It turned out that Wang Dong was standing not far away and making a teasing sound at Tang Guo!

At this moment, Tang Guo was clutching the straw paper tightly in her hands, trembling with fear.

Wang Dong's bad reputation had long been known throughout the village, and as a young girl, she was naturally afraid when she was stopped.

Tang Guo shook her head and said, "I don't want to go to your house. Go away."

"Hehe! Don't be so disrespectful." Wang Dong's face showed a lewd smile, his words were flirtatious and very teasing.

He continued, "Tang Guo, why don't you marry me? You can live with me in a little villa with a private bathroom and shower."

"You can use it freely at home tonight, and you won't have to go out anymore. How about it? Think about it? How about we take a bath together?"

"You shameless and despicable person! Who wants to live in your dilapidated house! Get out of the way, or I'll call for help!" Tang Guo said, and tried to force her way through.

But she was grabbed by the other party, and Wang Dong's wrist was so strong that she couldn't break free.

Tang Guo could only stare angrily at the repulsive face before her.

Wang Dong's smile grew even more lewd as he leaned closer and whispered a threat, "If you call for help, who would dare come? You're all alone now, you know? Be careful, or I'll make sure your dad dies in the mine..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Guo burst into tears, her heart filled with fear and helplessness.

"you are not human!"

After uttering a trembling curse, Tang Guo seized the opportunity to break free of her restraints and turned to flee...

Seeing this, Wang Dong glanced at the burly man behind him and said, "Keep an eye on these people for me!"

After saying that, he chased after Tang Guo.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhang Dong's murderous intent surged.

He knew that Wang Dong, that bastard, was going to make a move against Tang Guo!

He immediately grabbed a kitchen knife from the kitchen, but as he went out, his gaze fell on the burly man.

Zhang Dong remembered this man; his name was Niu Dafa, and he was one of Wang Jianguo's trusted subordinates.

Niu Dafa was tall, burly, and exceptionally fierce. He was usually responsible for guarding the mine warehouse, but he also did some shady things.

Given my current physical condition, I'd probably be at a disadvantage against this person.

From beginning to end, Zhang Dong never considered asking his two uncles, who were idle at home, for help.

If those two cowardly cowards had had the guts back then, Tang Guo wouldn't have been defiled and then committed suicide.

At this moment, only he can save Tang Guo from her dire straits.

Zhang Dong then quietly retreated back into the house, opened the back door and ran out, taking a detour to the public outhouse.

At that moment, Tang Guo couldn't hold it in any longer and started to go to the toilet.

But he had only squatted down for a short while.

Then they heard stealthy footsteps outside.

Tang Guo was so frightened that she quickly wiped her bottom and put her pants back on.

"Who?"

"whee……"

All that could be heard from outside was Wang Dong's sinister laughter.

Tang Guo panicked and hurriedly pulled open the latrine curtain, trying to run outside.

But Wang Dong, who was prepared, blocked her way immediately.

Then he started grinning slyly and leaned closer.

"Wang Dong! What do you want to do?" Tang Guo's voice was filled with fear and unease.

Wang Dong grinned lewdly as he approached step by step: "What do I want to do? Of course, I want to sleep with you."

As he spoke, he suddenly lunged at Tang Guo and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Let go of me!" Tang Guo struggled. "If you don't let go, I'll call Brother Dongzi. He'll definitely come to save me!"

Wang Dong scoffed dismissively: "What is Zhang Dong? Do you think I'm afraid of him? I can make him disappear with just one word!"

"Let me go!" Tang Guo cried out for help, "Help! Brother Dongzi, come save me!"

at this time.

Zhang Dong, who was climbing over the wall from the outside, heard Tang Guo's cries for help and was extremely anxious.

Looking at the high courtyard wall in front of him, he gritted his teeth, took a few steps back, then suddenly sprinted, grabbed the top of the wall, and jumped over it.

At the same time, the people in the courtyard were also awakened by Tang Guo's cries for help.

A window upstairs opened, and a woman leaned out to look around.

"Who's calling for help? It sounds like Tang Guo's voice."

The woman was Zhou Qin, Zhang Dong's second aunt. No sooner had she finished speaking than Niu Dafa roared, "What are you looking at? Want to die? Go back to sleep!"

The shout startled Zhou Qin, who quickly pulled her head back.

Her husband, Zhang Guangfei, Zhang Dong's second uncle, quickly pulled her back into the house and scolded her, "Don't cause trouble!"

The entire courtyard fell silent instantly, and no one dared to come out and meddle.

However, Qin Xianglan and Zhang Guangming couldn't help but leave the room; they wanted to go to the outhouse to check on the situation.

But as soon as he reached the door, Niu Dafa blocked his way.
