Chapter 641 Wang Mazi
Another half hour passed, and the team was fully prepared, just waiting for Chen Feng's order.
"Wait, is this even possible? Why don't they just acquire the land first and then ask us to prepare?" a member of the pile-breaking team whispered curiously.
"Who knows? He's just a big shot. He always has a bunch of people with him when he goes out."
"Seriously, the last contract we signed was all for the war and we died. This time, we didn't even sign a contract. I guess we're just going to watch the show this time."
"I was just about to take a nap when I was woken up. Ugh."
The exploration team didn't know Chen Feng, so they just speculated based on yesterday's events and assumed that's how it would be.
Chen Feng had no idea what they were talking about; he simply led his men in a large procession toward Wang Mazi's house.
The group quickly arrived at Wang Mazi's house. Wang Mazi came out when he heard the noise, his eyes full of surprise and doubt.
"What are you all doing in my house? Didn't I tell you I wouldn't sign this contract? Get out, all of you, get out!"
Hearing the sound, Chen Feng leaned against the door and lit a cigarette. He didn't even call out to him. The village chief, with a dark face, came out from behind him.
"What the hell are you yelling about?"
"This is a national project. You can't just refuse to sign it. Every citizen has an obligation to cooperate with the country. Who do you think you are!"
"I'm just asking you, are you going to sign now or not? If you don't, I'll burn your house to the ground, you son of a bitch!" The village chief pointed at Wang Mazi and cursed him without any faking it.
"Vulgar." Chen Feng took a drag of his cigarette and glanced at the village chief.
"Oh, brother, you're right." The village chief grinned upon hearing this, then turned back and continued to speak fiercely to Wang Mazi.
"I'll fucking warm your house, you bastard!"
Wang Mazi was both shocked and furious. He was shocked because he never expected that the exploration team could actually get the village chief to help.
What angers me is that even if you are the village chief, you can't forcibly demolish my house, can you? That's not what we said in the first place. And with so many people here, your words are making me lose face.
"No, what right do you have to order my house? I haven't broken any laws. This contract is unreasonable. What's wrong with me not signing it?" Wang Mazi said defiantly, stretching his neck.
"You fucking bastard, you think I'm discussing this with you?"
"Let me tell you, if you sign the contract now, you can still get the money. If you don't sign the contract, I'll make sure you don't get a single penny!" The village chief didn't hold back at all, pointing at Wang Mazi and speaking sternly.
"I...I won't sign. If you're so capable, then kill me!" Wang Mazi also lost his temper. What kind of nonsense was this?
"Damn it, I told you not to sign! Men, cut down his trees!" The village chief, used to giving orders, turned around and waved his hand, wanting the exploration team to come up and cut down the trees.
As a result, the exploration team looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to make a move without orders.
Seeing this, the village chief subconsciously looked at Chen Feng, waiting for his response.
Chen Feng leaned against the door, took a drag of his cigarette, waved his hand, and softly uttered a single word.
"put!"
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, several young men from the exploration team immediately came out, carrying their tools.
Ignoring all that, they just started sawing the tree.
"We can't let it go! We can't let it go! This is the fortune of my Wang family! If we let it go, everything will be ruined!" Wang Mazi's mother came out at this moment, crying and shouting.
"Your fortune is nothing! This tree is over twenty years old, and I haven't seen your family get rich. You're still drowning in debt!"
"Release them, and I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!" The village chief scoffed and continued speaking to the exploration team.
Wang Mazi was furious but dared not speak out. If you really let him face the village chief, he would still be afraid.
This man had a strange thought: although the mayor was much bigger than the village chief, Wang Mazi might not be afraid of the mayor, but he was genuinely afraid of the village chief.
Such a big thing happened to Wang Mazi's family that many villagers gathered here to watch.
To put it bluntly, Wang Mazi is considered one of the toughest people in the village, but even his tree was taken away. How can they expect to have a good outcome?
Many people are feeling apprehensive at this moment, unsure of what to do.
"Boom!"
Within minutes, the tree was felled by the crowd, and even the usually tough Wang Mazi was at a loss.
"Since you're all here now, let me tell you, I'm only giving you seven days!"
"If the house isn't vacated in seven days and you don't move out, I'll fucking bring in a bulldozer, tear down your whole house, and bury you alive!"
"As for the contract, you can sign it or not, I'm determined to demolish this place. Anyone who disagrees can come find me!" The village chief looked around, his fierce eyes revealing no hint of a joke.
Chen Feng leaned against the door, his head slightly lowered, and a smile appeared on his lips when he heard this.
Evil people need to be dealt with by evil people. No matter how we tried to reason with them before, it was no use. Now they're all too scared to say a word and are behaving themselves.
"Then...can we sign the contract at the previous price?" Some people's bottom line had been completely broken, and they asked with helplessness in their eyes.
The village chief did not answer, but looked at Chen Feng instead.
Chen Feng leaned against the door and gently raised his head.
"That wave is over, and this is the current price. Who knows, if I'm in a bad mood one day, it's not impossible for it to drop a little more."
"It doesn't matter whether you sign or not, nobody cares."
After these words were spoken, the villagers looked at each other, their eyes filled with regret, wondering who had spread the news.
Didn't they say everyone could earn five or ten million? How come it's lower than before?
The exploration team members were all filled with amazement, never expecting things to develop this way.
This progress, this speed—if it were before, they simply wouldn't have believed it.
"Come find me if you need anything!" the village chief threatened, then left the scene with Chen Feng, and the exploration team also withdrew in an orderly manner.
They didn't even leave any staff members on site to sign the contracts; they need to be given some time to consider.
Their departure caused an uproar in the village.
They weren't afraid of the exploration team, but they were truly afraid of the village chief. They knew all too well what the village chief was like.
"What should we do? Should we really sign it?"
"What can we do if we don't sign? They only gave us seven days. If we don't sign, we'll lose all this money."
"I should have signed it a few days ago. Actually, this amount of money is not small. Sigh."
"Whether you sign or not is none of their business, but you have to make room for them. That beast of a village chief, he's really capable of dragging you out and forcibly demolishing your house."
"If they really demolish our house, what will we do with our belongings? We'd better move out as soon as possible."
Wang Mazi stood in the courtyard, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty, but he knew that things had come to this point and there was really no way to change anything.
"Pack your things, get ready to move. We'll sign the contract tomorrow." Wang Mazi turned and went back into the house to start packing.
And so it went until the next day.
