"You are called Luo Ning, right? How did you become the village chief?!"
Situ Nan looked at Luo Ning, his voice carrying a stern tone. He was indeed quite angry; this was undoubtedly an affront and challenge to his authority!
"Well... County Chief, I..."
Luo Ning's forehead was sweating even more, but he had no way out. He was the village chief, that was true, but the one who really had a say was Jiu Ye, and Jiu Ye was clearly supporting the Ancient Sorcerer.
"County Chief, I think we should discuss this matter."
A crowd had gathered at Drying Ground, noisy and chaotic, but everyone quieted down upon realizing that Situ Nan was the county chief. Thus, everyone heard the Ancient Sorcerer's words, and they were all stunned.
Not to mention the county chief; even the town chief was a big official in their eyes!
But the Ancient Sorcerer actually stood up to the county chief!
The scene fell into silence, with children watching the commotion burying their heads in their mothers' arms, too scared to make a sound.
"Awesome! This is just too awesome!"
Luo Tieniu opened his mouth, staring in shock at the Ancient Sorcerer locking eyes with Situ Nan.
Feng Leyao was also in the crowd. When she saw Situ Nan appear, she was momentarily taken aback, then a cold smile appeared on her face.
"I came specifically to find you."
The real reason Feng Leyao returned to Wuan County was that the deputy director of the Newspaper received a report from her former comrade about misconduct by the current county chief Situ Nan. Since it happened to be her hometown, she was sent down.
After several days of investigation, Feng Leyao was worried about not finding a breakthrough when she unexpectedly discovered that Situ Nan had intervened in the land leasing issue of Luo Family Village. Wasn't this just walking into a trap?
“Luo Tieniu, help me with something.”
Feng Leyao nudged Luo Tieniu.
“Sister-in-law, what is it?”
Feng Leyao blushed, but with time being tight, she didn't want to explain to Luo Tieniu. She said, “Go over to Ancient Sorcerer and take this with you. I want to record everything that Situ Nan says, make sure the camera is aimed properly.”
“Hey, I mean, sister-in-law, you guys are using high-tech stuff now. I only saw this thing last year in the army.”
Luo Tieniu looked at the small camera in his hand, which was barely bigger than a grain of rice, and sighed.
“Stop rambling and go.”
Hearing Luo Tieniu continuously call her sister-in-law made Feng Leyao’s face even redder.
“Okay, I’ll go right away.”
Luo Tieniu strode into the arena and stopped next to Ancient Sorcerer, saying, “Brother Tian, the chairs are ready over there. Why don’t we sit down and talk?”
After glancing at Luo Tieniu, Ancient Sorcerer was unsure why he had come over but knew that Luo Tieniu, despite looking rough, was actually quite meticulous. So he went along with it and said:
“County Head, let’s sit down and discuss this. Today, the old and young from Luo Family Village are all here. If everyone speaks openly and honestly, we can settle things on the spot if there are no issues. This is also part of democratic centralism.”
Situ Nan’s face turned ashen; Ancient Sorcerer was putting pressure on him. If they were in his office, he would have exploded by now, but in front of so many people, he could only hold it in.
“Hehehe, then let’s talk.”
After saying that, he didn’t even look at Ancient Sorcerer and walked straight ahead. Seeing this, Luo Ning immediately jogged ahead to lead the way.
"What are you doing?"
Ancient Sorcerer deliberately fell a step behind, but his eyes were fixed on Luo Tieniu's right hand.
"Hey, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. The beautiful Feng instructed me to record the whole process."
Luo Tieniu said as he opened his palm, revealing an inconspicuous object in the center of his hand. Ancient Sorcerer was immediately surprised; he recognized what it was.
"Could it be... her mission is..."
Ancient Sorcerer quickly recalled what Feng Leyao had said earlier about having a mission upon returning. He looked into the crowd and noticed Feng Leyao gently nodding at him.
"It seems someone really can't wait any longer."
It was impossible for anyone targeted by RM Daily to escape unscathed. Ancient Sorcerer sneered and walked toward the center of the Drying Ground, where tables and chairs had already been set up.
"You all talk."
Situ Nan glanced around at everyone and waved his hand impatiently.
"Alright, then let's have a discussion."
Ancient Sorcerer nodded and said, "Actually, there's only one question: What does Mr. Ohno plan to do after acquiring the land?"
"This... naturally, it's to build a factory."
Ono Ken Saburo hesitated for a moment but quickly realized what he needed to say.
"A factory? What kind of factory?"
Ono Ken Saburo's hesitation on his face was fleeting, but Ancient Sorcerer immediately noticed it and pressed on with a question.
"This..."
Mountainous Area knew very well what Ono Ken Saburo was thinking, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Why ask so much? Dayo is renting the land and will pay according to the contract; after that, it's his business freedom."
The sun slowly rose, and sweat began to bead on Situ Nan's forehead. He usually sat in an air-conditioned office; when had he ever endured such suffering? If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn't have come even if he were killed. Wouldn't it be better to stay in the hotel room and "communicate" about life with bamboo?
Thinking of bamboo, Situ Nan felt he should say a few words in favor of Dayo.
Ono Ken Saburo quickly seized the opportunity and continued, "Well, the county head is right; this is a commercial secret."
Glancing at Situ Nan, Ancient Sorcerer found this utterly disgusting.
What kind of official is this? Always siding with outsiders and plotting against his own people!
"I think..."
Before Ancient Sorcerer could finish speaking, Situ Nan waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "Let's leave it at that; hurry up and sign the contract! This is beneficial for everyone in Luo Family Village. What's there to hesitate about with free contracting fees?!"
"This matter... I think we need to discuss it further; after all..."
Ancient Sorcerer was interrupted again. Situ Nan looked at Luo Ning, who had been silent beside him, and said in a slightly angry tone:
"What is there to discuss? Luo Ning, you speak up! Can you take charge of this matter?!"
Luo Ning felt layers of sweat forming on his forehead; Situ Nan's pressure was simply too great.
"This... this..."
"How are you even managing as the village chief? Do you believe I can remove you from your position?"
"Bang!"
Situ Nan slammed the teacup he was holding onto the ground, roaring loudly. His furious voice could be heard clearly by everyone in the grain-drying area.
The authority of an official—Situ Nan was flaunting his power!
However, he did not notice that among the crowd, two people were watching and discussing him. One was Jiu Ye, and the other was Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei had a broad mouth and ears, with slightly pale sword-like eyebrows that extended to his temples. He wasn't tall, but he gave off an imposing presence like a mountain. Although he wore ordinary clothes, his demeanor revealed that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Little Zhao, your subordinates really come in all kinds."
Zhao Fei's expression darkened as he said, "Old Class Leader, I..."
He felt embarrassed that such a scoundrel had emerged as the county chief under his management in Wuan County; he didn't know where to put his face!
