Mayor Zhang was very angry when he saw Wang Xiaolan talking to him like that and not taking him seriously as the mayor.

"You, shut up right there. I'm telling you, this place is under my control, and I have the right to arrest you. The villagers have already reported your problem to me. I suspect your money came from an unknown source, and I'm sending someone to investigate you thoroughly."

Wang Xiaolan sneered, "Hey, you want to investigate me? First, you have no right to arrest me. Second, the situation you mentioned by the villagers is Shi Hehua, right? If I remember correctly, she's still serving a prison sentence. Can you believe what she says?"

Mayor Zhang's face turned grim. "Nonsense! There's no way such a thing could happen."

Wang Xiaolan said, "Mayor, I'm not talking nonsense. Shi Hehua said it herself just now. How about I ask her to come and confront your son Zhang An."

At this time, Zhang An on the side could no longer sit still: "This bitch said it herself. She wanted me to destroy this factory, but now she has completely withdrawn."

Wang Xiaolan laughed heartily and said, "Before I could even say anything, you guys lost your composure."

When Mayor Zhang heard this, his face instantly turned pale.

He shouted, "Nonsense! I've been mayor for so many years. How could I believe Shi Hehua's one-sided statement? Comrade Wang Xiaolan, your problem is very serious. I've received many letters of accusation, and they all mention you."

Zhang An confirmed on the side: "Yes, that's right."

The corners of Wang Xiaolan's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer full of sarcasm.

She stared at Mayor Zhang with a sharp gaze and said fearlessly, "Mayor Zhang! Don't just talk nonsense here without any real evidence! Since you have come all the way to our Xiangshui Village, and almost all the villagers are here, then in my opinion, why don't you just conduct a public opinion survey! Let everyone share their thoughts and opinions and see what everyone really thinks. That way, the truth will be revealed! It's better than you talking to yourself here without any real evidence, right?"

At this time, the onlookers started talking at once.

The old man with a white beard said, "Mayor, Doctor Wang is right. In the past, our village only earned a few cents per work point, and we couldn't even eat enough all year round."

Another old woman said, "A family might have as few as seven or eight people. Every household was extremely poor. Even the wealthier ones had only two sets of clothing, and they were tattered and covered with dozens of patches. On weekdays, when working in the fields, everyone could only wear simple straw raincoats to cover their bodies."

At this time, everyone echoed: "Yes! With such poverty, which girl would be willing to marry into our village? The girls in the village only want to marry outside."

"Yes, that's right. In our whole village, only people from Shi Hehua's family dress well."

A middle-aged woman said, "It was Dr. Wang who bought a home loom and led all the women in the village to spin and weave. Now everyone has clothes to wear. I learned the weaving technique, and people from other villages came to our village to ask us to weave, and I earned a lot of pocket money. I now have several apprentices."

"Yes, yes, you're right. Ever since Doctor Wang invested in the factory, our lives have been getting better and better. Every household has someone working in the factory. Those who don't work farm in the village, and each work point earns us a dollar. We live more comfortably than people in the city. To give up our good life and report Doctor Wang, you're out of your mind!"

Captain Xiao said, "The road has now been built to the village entrance. The money was funded by Doctor Wang. The village accountant has recorded it. You can go and check it out."

Then he pointed at the houses in the village and said, "Look, we've all built brick and tile houses. These are all thanks to Dr. Wang, no, General Manager Wang. She led us to prosperity. Now, girls who want to marry into our village have to fight tooth and nail. Without her, we wouldn't be where we are today. Do you think we would report her? We can't thank her enough."

Another villager chimed in, "We're not fools. Only the devil would report it!"

A young man said, "Zhang, mayor, your son has been causing trouble in the village time and time again. I now understand that it was because of your instructions."

"Town Mayor Zhang, you can't stand seeing us villagers living well. Are you jealous of us?"

Mayor Zhang faced the crowd, and they were talking at the same time. He didn't know what to say, so he said, "Everyone, I didn't mean that. I'm just dissatisfied with Wang Xiaolan's behavior. Of course I'm happy that you are living well."

Everyone said, "What are you dissatisfied with? That's your business. But we are very satisfied!"

At this time, Captain Xiao said, "Mayor, you say this because you have another purpose! I went to the town several times for meetings, and you told me that your village is so wealthy, and you should show some respect, otherwise you won't approve the fertilizer for us. Is that what you said?"

Everyone said, "Chief Zhang, what you said clearly means that you want our village to pay tribute to you."

Mayor Zhang looked at everyone with embarrassment and said, "Everyone, I don't think so."

As he spoke, his face darkened, and he said, "Xiao Youyan, you must be responsible for what you said today, otherwise, you know the consequences."

Wang Xiaolan sneered at this and said, "What? You still want to threaten our Captain Xiao. You want to shut him up."

As she spoke, she waved the notebook in her hand and said, "All the evidence is right here! Every ill-gotten gain you've made is backed by solid witnesses! Captain Xiao may be wary of you, but I'm not afraid at all! It's just a fight to the bitter end, a fight that will only end in mutual destruction! Even if you lose your position as mayor and I lose the factory I've painstakingly built, at least I'll still be a doctor who saves lives. However, you, on the other hand, will become worthless, your reputation shattered!"

After hearing what Wang Xiaolan said, the mayor was filled with an uncontrollable murderous intent. He stared at Wang Xiaolan with wide eyes, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

At this moment, he could never have imagined that this seemingly weak woman could be so powerful! In his long life, he had never encountered an opponent as powerful as Wang Xiaolan.

The mixture of anger and shock completely made Mayor Zhang lose his mind. He no longer cared about his usual sanctimonious disguise, and his true face of insidiousness, cunningness, and shamelessness was exposed in an instant.

His face was ferocious, like an enraged beast, and he roared viciously at the people around him, "What are you all standing there for? Don't you know what to do now? Hurry up and rush over and grab the account book from her hand."

After hearing what he said, his subordinates all looked shocked and looked at each other with confusion and bewilderment in their eyes.
