Chapter 430 A Man of Extraordinary Power

Upon hearing this answer, the village chief's eyes widened instantly, utterly shocked!

"That's...it's that simple?" The village chief simply couldn't believe that he would be defeated by such primitive methods.

"What else?" Chen Feng flicked his cigarette ash and said.

"Damn it, that idiot Li Laoqi didn't even know someone was camping against his own wall. What's the point of keeping that dog!"

"Why don't we just sell it already!" The village chief's chest heaved violently with anger.

He never imagined that his flawless plan would be defeated by such primitive methods!

He was dragged down by a bunch of incompetent teammates, damn it!

"But Chen Feng, aren't you being a little too happy to be mocking me to my face now?"

Even if you know I'm the one who messed things up, so what? What can you do about it?

The village chief quickly regained his confident demeanor, coldly looking at Chen Feng and sneering.

Now that he'd made things clear, he wouldn't hide anything anymore.

"The worst thing you could have done was to come over and mock me to my face, kid."

"Before I make things clear, I'll still do things behind your back, afraid that you'll find out."

"But now, I can openly and honestly mess with you, without having to be timid and hesitant anymore."

"What can you do? What can you possibly do?"

"Kid, I'm going to teach you a lesson today. You need to be patient and calm. You'll never accomplish anything great if you're so impulsive."

"Do you understand now, you idiot?" the village chief said sarcastically without any mercy, a confident smile on his face.

"Yes, I understand that principle, so I submitted your violation materials a week ago."

"You don't actually think I came here to confront you without having done anything, do you?"

Chen Feng threw the cigarette butt directly onto the clean tiles, stomped it out with a smile on his face.

"What did you say!"

The village chief's smug face froze instantly, his eyes filled with shock, and he panicked for the first time.

The village chief's wife also panicked upon hearing this, staring wide-eyed and fidgeting nervously.

They seem to have underestimated Chen Feng; he's far more cunning than they imagined!

Things didn't go as they expected at all; in fact, every step they took was within Chen Feng's plan and had been anticipated long ago.

"Where did you get these illegal materials? Don't try to fool me. What illegal things have I done?"

The village chief, furious and stubborn, refused to believe that he could gather evidence against him in just a few days.

"Where did you get these illegal materials? Our two families are sworn enemies. You don't really think our family will let you off so easily, do you?"

Chen Feng chuckled, his gaze towards the village chief filled with mockery.

"No wonder you went into the city after that day. So you knew about all this. I thought you were desperate and went to call for help."

"So, after all that, you were so confident that you went to report me?" The village chief muttered to himself, his eyes glazed over. For the first time, he realized he had underestimated Chen Feng, and a sense of regret filled his heart.

If I hadn't been so smug and arrogant, things would never have gotten this far.

Chen Feng was far more shrewd than he had imagined. If he hadn't been so well-prepared, he might have actually fallen into Chen Feng's hands.

He took a deep breath and looked up at Chen Feng.

"You're amazing, much smarter than your dad, and you almost managed to get me into trouble."

"I underestimated you before, I admit it."

"However, if you think you can take me down with just some whistleblower material, you're being too naive."

The village chief spoke earnestly, a mocking smile slowly spreading across his face—a confidence born from years of connections.

"If I were really that easy to kill, would it be your turn? Countless people from these villages combined want to kill me, but in the end, I still hold onto my position as village chief."

"Don't even mention a single report; some people have even brought banners to the district government. Look at me, I'm still doing just fine, aren't I?" The village chief spread his hands and laughed heartily.

"Chen Feng, let's make a bet. Do you believe that with just one phone call, I can make all those reports against you disappear instantly?" The village chief pulled out his phone and sneered.

"Heh, you're that good?" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Chen Feng, every step of your plan is flawless. I admit, you are much better than me. Even if we were not the same age, and even if you had a few more years, I would be completely defeated by you."

"But unfortunately, as I said before, you opened the champagne too early, and the worst thing you could have done was to come and provoke me to my face."

"Do you think I'm just a village chief with no connections above me?"

"The county magistrate and I are sworn brothers, and nobody knows about this."

"So you actually dared to report me to the county government and submit my report materials? How naive and laughable."

"Do you want to see how he invalidated your complaint materials right in front of you?"

The village chief then pulled up the county magistrate's phone number, and was just one step away from making the call.

He held the phone, looking at Chen Feng with utter mockery, his provocation obvious, and an barely suppressed smile on his face.

"Hahaha…"

Chen Feng couldn't help but clap his hands at the village chief, wanting to praise his foolishness.

"That's really well said. Actually, I really want to see how he invalidated my report."

"But unfortunately, he really doesn't deserve it, nor is he qualified. Your so-called biggest backer is nothing but a fart in front of me."

"That's hilarious. You're still counting on your brother, the county magistrate? He might not even be able to protect himself. I'm not in the mood to tease you anymore. Let me tell you the truth."

“My report is not with your brother, the county magistrate, but with Xiahou in the city.”

"I estimate you have a few minutes left. If you can drink, take a sip; if you can eat, take a bite."

"Otherwise, once you go inside, you won't be able to be this comfortable anymore."

Chen Feng reached for the wine jug, poured him a cup of farewell wine, handed it to him, and chuckled softly.

As soon as Chen Feng said this, the village chief was struck dumb. His phone fell to the ground with a thud. He stared wide-eyed in shock, trembling and speechless.

"No, that's impossible, you're talking nonsense!"

"Xiahou from the city? What kind of influential figure is he? How could you possibly be related to him? Don't try to fool me!"

"You've only been here a few days, and you already want to get involved with someone like that? I've been here for thirty years, and I've only met his secretary a few times!"

The village chief's voice was full of disbelief as he pointed at Chen Feng and shouted. He simply couldn't believe that what Chen Feng said was true; it was simply impossible!
