"How have you dealt with things like this before? You can't just give up every time someone causes trouble, can you?" Xu Guang asked, puzzled.
“In the past, when we encountered this kind of thing, the pressure was applied layer by layer, and finally it fell on the village chief. Usually, the village chief is very prestigious in the village.”
“His actions to intimidate the villagers are far more effective than ours,” Xiahou replied calmly.
"Then why didn't you go to the village chief this time? If Chen Feng causes trouble again, just let the village chief deal with him. A village chief can handle any villager, right?" Xu Guang said, extremely puzzled.
"The village chief of Chen Feng's village has already been taken into custody," Xiahou said, glancing at Xu Guang.
"Which idiot did this? Why did they put him in there? Why don't you get him out and let him deal with Chen Feng?" Xu Guang suggested.
"I'm the one who got Chen Feng's village chief arrested. I personally gave the order to eliminate any potential threats to Chen Feng!"
"Otherwise, who do you think Chen Feng actually sent in back then? Wasn't it just their village chief?" Xiahou glared at Xu Guang, then turned his head away, not wanting to look at him at all.
What an idiot.
"Ah, the person Chen Feng sent in back then wasn't some thug, it was their village chief!" Xu Guang only realized this belatedly after hearing Xiahou's words.
"What do you think? Otherwise, who did he send in? You?"
“Chen Feng is the one with the most influence in their village right now. Do you really want me to give Chen Feng some instructions to keep his head down and stop causing trouble?”
Xiahou took a deep breath and said, "Do I need to tell you this method? I've already thought of it myself."
He never expected that sending the village chief to jail would end up like this.
Isn't this just tripping up yourself?
"What do we do now? My men are too scared to go to the mine. He poured the poison on them once, then pretended to be a ghost, and wiped them all out."
"If I want to keep an eye on him now, I'll have to sleep on the floor and work as a night watchman at the mine myself."
Xu Guang spoke in a muffled voice, he hadn't expected that a petty thug would be so troublesome.
Moreover, even though you said he was to sleep on the ground in the mine, Xu Guang was actually quite scared after hearing what they said.
It's one thing to know that Chen Feng was behind all this, but it's another thing to not be afraid.
If he were to actually stay at the mine for a few days, Chen Feng would scare him so badly he'd have a heart attack.
"Don't let your employees leave. Things will take a turn for the better in a few days," Xiahou said softly, flipping through the documents on the table.
"What turning point? Is it real? I'm practically begging my employees every day now. If this continues, I'm about to lose my patience," Xu Guang complained, his eyes filled with anticipation as he asked.
“In a few days, someone from the province will be coming down to inspect. He has already traveled all over the province and will be here soon.”
"Do you understand?" Xiahou asked Xu Guang.
"You mean, let's hide for a while first, and then deal with Chen Feng?" Xu Guang seemed to understand what he meant.
It seems Xiahou has reached his limit; things are about to get really serious.
"Bullshit! I'm reporting to higher authorities that a village is breaking the law, seriously affecting the city's plans, and deliberately sabotaging investment attraction."
"Let that person personally name and kill him, so I won't be caught red-handed," Xiahou said with a light laugh.
"Will this work? If you report it like this, won't it prove that you're useless? Won't people criticize you?"
"Can I still back you up?" Xu Guang asked with some doubt.
"What do you know? You have to play the bear when you need to."
"I admit that I was not up to par this time and made some mistakes in my work, but there are reasons for that. I just didn't want to escalate the conflict."
“If you’re willing to vouch for me, I’ll definitely handle this matter well, don’t you think?” Xiahou said with a smile.
"Sure, who's the person from the province who came this time? Is it the one you're very familiar with?" Xu Guang immediately laughed and asked.
“No, the one I’m very familiar with is just an extra this time. The one who came down this time is the most important one. I’ve only seen him once before, during a meeting.” Xiahou shook his head and said.
That guy was truly influential and had a particularly tough style. He was most annoyed by those villagers who, because they were uneducated, would gather together to cause trouble and create chaos.
He also remembered a time in a city when there was a state-owned enterprise that was on the verge of bankruptcy. It had tried to go bankrupt several times, but the villagers had stopped it each time.
Several thousand people jointly petitioned, engaging in various disruptive activities and making a big show of it.
The local authorities were at their wits' end. They knew the businesses were going bankrupt because of these people's lateness and early departures, and that they were stealing, eating, and even reselling the goods, but they couldn't let them go bankrupt.
We have no choice but to pay them their wages, since there are several thousand people here. People are quick to accuse us of trying to force them to their deaths and that they can't survive without us.
Some even pulled out pesticide and said, "If you go bankrupt and fire me, I'll just drink it right in front of you."
Several local leaders had tried to resolve the issue, but none of them could. Eventually, the matter was reported to higher authorities, and this person came to know about it.
This person simply said one sentence.
"Those who should go bankrupt should go bankrupt, those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be sentenced should be sentenced. The law cannot yield to illegality!"
This one sentence directly declared the bankruptcy of that state-owned enterprise, and seventeen accountants came directly from above.
From the day the company started until its bankruptcy, the entire accounting was investigated. The impeachment was waiting on the sidelines; whoever the accountant pointed to would be arrested.
The villagers' tantrums and shoving won't work anymore. They still want to drink the medicine?
Go ahead and drink it. If you drink it, I'll wash your stomach four times in a row. Let's see if you can take it.
In the end, the villagers were all in danger, and the village collapsed without a fight. No one expected that those old accounts would still be investigated.
Seeing that this time it was for real, they stopped making trouble and were all terrified, afraid that they would be the next ones arrested.
Some even confessed directly, hoping for a lighter punishment.
No matter how powerful you are, Chen Feng, can you compare to those people? Their clan's power is far more formidable than yours.
If that person found out about this, he would probably just wave his hand and sentence Chen Feng to death.
By then, if you still want to argue and play your thuggish tricks, it won't work.
With witnesses and physical evidence readily available, what else can you say?
"Oh, no wonder you told me not to let the employees leave yet. You want them to be witnesses."
"This is a great idea! If we get approval from above, you'll be able to easily control Chen Feng!" Xu Guangle slapped his thigh, finally feeling that his hope had arrived.
"If the higher-ups really give their approval, just wait and see how I deal with Chen Feng."
"You were smoking in my office, weren't you? You were pretty arrogant, weren't you? Let's see how arrogant you can be now."
"By then, I'll make sure you don't even have the chance to kneel down!" Xiahou sneered.
