The scene of the village chief being handcuffed and escorted onto the car was deeply etched in their minds.

Others may not know why the village chief stepped down, but they understand perfectly well!

That's because the village chief was blocking Chen Feng's way.

And now that the village chief's gun is gone, there's no one left to carry it. How could Chen Feng let them go?

The thought of how arrogant and domineering he had been in front of Chen Feng, and how he had even uttered wild words, made Li Laoqi tremble even more with fear.

Now that he has lost his pillar of support, he has no idea what to do.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng returned to the villa, only to find his entire family and Zheng Ping at the door, their mouths agape in shock, staring at Chen Feng with disbelief on their faces.

Of course, Xia Yingying and Liu Ping would be better off, since they already knew about this beforehand.

"It wasn't Fengzi, what happened? Did you really do this?" Zheng Ping stared blankly at the departing bus and asked in disbelief.

"Of course, didn't I tell you? I've already arranged everything." Chen Feng shrugged and smiled.

"No, my God, you actually ousted the village chief, so quickly, so easily?" Zheng Ping still couldn't believe what had happened; it felt like a dream.

The village chief, who had been a tyrant for twenty years, was killed off so easily just because he interfered in Chen Feng's affairs?

This feels so unreal.

"Dude, tell me, who did you find that has such power? You just decided to do it without any hesitation?" Huang Fei scratched his head and said incredulously.

"Xiahou from the city, of course, the village chief himself has committed many evils, he was just eliminating a scourge for the people."

Chen Feng didn't hide it from them; there was no point in hiding it anyway.

"Xiahou from the city?! You actually have a connection with him? You know him?!"

Yin Xing was stunned when he heard the name. He stared blankly at Chen Feng, his tone full of shock.

Although they had never met this person, they had at least heard of him.

That's a top leader in the city, the kind whose word is law.

Chen Feng actually knows this person, whom they used to only see on TV, and it seems that they have a close relationship.

My God, Yin Xing really felt like he hadn't woken up properly; he never dared to dream of such a situation.

"Hey, we're not that close, they just gave me the green light." Chen Feng waved his hand and walked into the house with a smile.

As soon as Chen Feng entered the house, he smelled the delicious aroma of the fish hot pot.

It smells so good!

Zheng Ping and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"Hey, no wonder Fengzi was so calm, acting like he didn't take the village chief seriously at all."

"So Chen Feng has such powerful connections? We were saying before that the village chief and the county magistrate are on good terms, and Fengzi definitely can't beat him."

"I never expected that a county magistrate is nothing compared to Fengzi. He's a big leader in the city, my goodness!" Yin Xing shook his head and sighed.

"Of course, we were just worrying unnecessarily. Fengzi must have a plan, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm," Zheng Ping said, pursing his lips.

"Alright, at least I didn't waste my money buying these two fish. Consider it a celebration feast, haha," Huang Fei said cheerfully.

Liu Ping took a deep breath, feeling a strange mix of emotions.

This scoundrel who had plagued his family for twenty years has finally been brought to justice, and Chen Feng's father no longer has to suffer outside.

At Chen Feng's call, everyone went into the house and gathered around the big pot. Chen Feng lifted the lid, and billowing hot steam rushed up. Water droplets formed by the steam on the lid fell to the ground with a "pitter-patter" sound.

"Wow, this is perfect!" Chen Feng took a deep breath of the aroma and picked up the bowl.

"Quickly, everyone, start eating!" he urged everyone.

"Haha, isn't this a case of Guan Yu warming wine before beheading Hua Xiong in ancient times, and Fengzi stewing fish before beheading the village chief in modern times?" Huang Fei picked up his chopsticks and suddenly laughed.

"Hey, you haven't studied for many years, and you're already spouting literary flair," Yin Xing said with a pat on Huang Fei's shoulder.

"Of course, I'm a cultured man!" Huang Fei said proudly.

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, and Chen Feng also picked up a piece of vermicelli with his chopsticks and put it into Xia Yingying's bowl.

"Try these vermicelli, they're so delicious! When we slaughter a goose at home, I'll let you taste what it's like to have a goose stewed in an iron pot," Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Um."

Xia Yingying smiled, pursed her lips, and tasted the vermicelli. Just as Chen Feng had said, it was really delicious. She became even more eager to see what the braised goose in an iron pot that Chen Feng had mentioned would taste like.

The fish hotpot was a delightful and steaming meal, and everyone was overjoyed. Now that the biggest obstacle had been removed, the gold mine could finally continue its development.

They ate and chatted until after ten o'clock. Xia Yingying helped Liu Ping clear the table, and Huang Fei asked, "Fengzi, now that the village chief has gone down, when do we officially start mining?"

"It'll be soon, don't worry. I'll go to Du Jin to sign the contract tomorrow, and then I'll go to the city to apply for the necessary paperwork."

"Once the paperwork is done, we can officially start working," Chen Feng said, leaning back on the sofa and taking a deep drag on his cigarette.

"Okay, then we won't leave for a while. We'll just stay home and wait. Anyway, we've been really tired lately, and we can finally take a good rest." Huang Fei stretched and said.

Surprisingly, Zheng Ping and the others didn't refute him. There was only so much time left, and there was no need to go out and do anything else. They could stay home and help Chen Feng out, and see if there was anything they could do to help.

After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed and went home to sleep, leaving only Liu Ping and her family of three.

"I'll call your dad in a bit and tell him the news, so he can come right back," Liu Ping said to Chen Feng, holding up her phone.

“Alright, since the village chief is gone now, no one else can cause any trouble. Let them come back.” Chen Feng nodded. His family could finally be reunited.

When it was time for bed, Liu Ping called Chen Feng's father from inside the room.

"The village chief was arrested today. My son is getting more and more powerful. Come back. Don't hide outside anymore."

"Our family can finally be reunited."

Upon hearing the news, Chen Jianguo remained silent for a long time before taking a deep breath and saying, "Okay, I'll head back tomorrow."

He had been waiting for this day for who knows how long, thinking that after so many years in the business world, he had finally gained some influence.

But to my utter surprise, I ended up having to rely on my son to get back.

All I can say is that Chen Jianguo has raised a good son.
