"Boss, I've got the information!" the black shadow said in a low voice.
The black shadow sneaked into the village, thinking that no one could notice it, but in fact, everything was under Shen Qiqi's control.
"Oh, with this little ability, you dare to show off in front of me?" Shen Qiqi sneered, with a hint of disdain at the corner of her mouth.
She had already arranged people and set up a tight net, waiting for these "rats" to fall into the trap.
Sure enough, those so-called business spies, like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, fell into the "trap" set by Shen Qiqi.
They were busy following the false news deliberately released by Shen Qiqi, but they didn't know that every step they took was under Shen Qiqi's surveillance.
"Close the net!" Shen Qiqi gave the order, and the villagers who were lying in ambush in the dark rushed forward and caught the group of "rats" red-handed.
Before the spies could react, they were tied up and looked in a miserable state, like dogs that had lost their homes, without any of their previous arrogance.
"Wow! We caught the spies!" When the villagers saw these sneaky guys being caught, they smiled happily and cheered excitedly.
"I told you to steal and cheat, now you know how powerful it is!" The village suddenly became lively, and the previous depressing atmosphere was swept away, replaced by laughter.
Shen Qiqi looked at the lively scene in front of her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her heart filled with pride.
"Hmph, you're still a little naive to fight with me!" She was secretly proud of herself.
Lu Qing walked up to her and looked at her gently, "Qiqi, you are really great!" His tone was full of pampering and praise.
"These are all my basic exercises, no big deal!" Shen Qiqi raised her chin proudly, with an expression that said "I am the queen".
She knew that this victory was not only her own achievement, but also the result of the unity of the entire village.
In order to relax, Lu Qing took Shen Qiqi for a stroll in the village.
As the sun sets, the afterglow shines on the two of them, lengthening their figures.
They walked along the once muddy path, which is now a flat stone road; they passed by the once dilapidated thatched houses, which are now spacious and bright brick houses.
"Remember, when we first came here, this place was not like this." Lu Qing said softly, recalling the hardships and difficulties of the past.
"Yeah, we were exhausted like dogs every day, but we still persevered." Shen Qiqi sighed.
They recalled every bit of the past together, and all the bitterness and sweetness turned into warm memories, flowing between them.
At this moment, all the fatigue and worries disappear, leaving only full happiness and peace of mind.
Shen Qiqi leaned on Lu Qing's shoulder, feeling extremely relieved.
"Qing, it's great to have you by my side." She said softly, with a hint of dependence in her tone.
"Me too." Lu Qing responded gently.
As the night deepened, the two of them walked hand in hand slowly on their way home.
A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers. The moonlight shone on the two of them, casting long shadows.
"Qiqi," Lu Qing suddenly stopped and said hesitantly, "I always feel that things may not be that simple..."
Shen Qiqi looked at Lu Qing's hesitant expression, her heart tightened, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.
She was about to ask when she heard hurried footsteps and a villager ran over, panting. "Oh no, Village Chief! Something happened!"
The day after the spy was captured, the sun was shining brightly, the air was filled with the fragrance of earth, birds were singing happily on the branches, and the whole village was immersed in a joyous atmosphere.
Last night's "rat catching operation" was a great success. The villagers ran around telling each other and clapped their hands to celebrate, making it as lively as the New Year.
"Sister Qiqi, you are so awesome! You are simply the modern Mulan!" A young girl took Shen Qiqi's hand, her face flushed with excitement.
"Of course not. Our sister Qiqi can bring peace to the world with her pen, and she can rule the world on horseback!" Another young man also joined in the fun, his tone full of admiration.
Shen Qiqi was a little embarrassed by the praise, and waved her hands with a smile: "Keep a low profile, don't be too basic!"
Seeing the villagers' joyful expressions, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were also overjoyed.
This "anti-spy war" not only caught commercial spies, but more importantly, it strengthened the cohesion of the villagers and made everyone more united.
"Qiqi, I'm so happy to see everyone so united!" Lu Qing held Shen Qiqi's hand and said affectionately.
"Yes, as long as we unite as one, no difficulty can defeat us!" Shen Qiqi looked at the smiling faces full of hope in front of her, and her heart was filled with strength.
However, the good times did not last long.
The retaliation of the business groups came much faster than they imagined.
After only two days, the peace in the village was broken.
"Qiqi, something bad has happened! Our partner suddenly wants to cancel the order!" A villager came running to report in a panic, his tone anxious.
"What?!" Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing's faces changed, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in their hearts.
"Not only are the orders canceled, but also..." The villager's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he didn't dare to continue.
"What else? Tell me quickly!" Shen Qiqi asked anxiously.
"Also... our products have been maliciously slandered, saying they have quality issues. Now the market is boycotting our products..." The villager finally told the truth, his voice trembling.
Upon hearing this news, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing felt like they were struck by lightning.
They knew that this was revenge from the business group!
Moreover, it is coming with great force!
"How unreasonable! What a bunch of despicable villains!" Shen Qiqi stomped her feet in anger, her fists clenched tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh.
"Calm down, Qiqi! We can't lose our composure!" Lu Qing forced himself to calm down.
The two hurried to the village committee and immediately called together the key members of the village to discuss countermeasures.
The atmosphere in the office was as solemn as the calm before the storm.
"The current situation is very serious. We must come up with a solution as soon as possible!" Shen Qiqi said in a heavy tone, her eyes full of worry.
Lu Qing walked to the map, pointed at several marked locations, and said in a deep voice, "We must first find out what methods they used..."
"Knock, knock, knock--" A rapid knock on the door interrupted Lu Qing's words.
"Who?" Shen Qiqi asked vigilantly.
"It's me, Xiao Li!" A familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Come in!"
The door was pushed open, and a young villager walked in, his face panicked. "Village Chief, something bad has happened! The town's..."
His next words made Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing's hearts sink to the bottom instantly.
