"Moreover, he has been collecting evidence of the village chief's corruption and illegal activities for many years, and it won't be long before he takes down that guy surnamed Ma."
After listening to his mother's words, Chen Feng nodded. After learning that it was the village chief who was causing trouble for him, he already had this plan in mind.
We're going to gather evidence of the village chief's illegal activities and then send him straight to jail.
Unexpectedly, his father had already been collecting them for a long time, which actually made things convenient for him.
"Okay, that's settled then. We'll talk about it tomorrow and figure out how to get the village chief locked up in jail."
Chen Feng stood up and stretched, feeling incredibly relaxed.
After going upstairs with Xia Yingying, Xia Yingying couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Chen Feng, have you never met your father before?"
"No, to be honest, I have absolutely no recollection of him," Chen Feng said, shaking his head.
“Your father is very capable; he’s a real man,” Xia Yingying said softly. Then, thinking of her former alcoholic father, she couldn’t help but sigh.
Why is there such a big difference between fathers?
"Don't dwell on the past. Since you no longer have a father, I will be your father from now on and make up for the fatherly love you lack." Chen Feng looked at Xia Yingying with a serious expression.
"Get out!"
Xia Yingying was feeling down when Chen Feng suddenly broke her composure, and she smiled and lightly hit Chen Feng.
"No, I'm serious. Call me 'Dad' and let me hear it." Chen Feng leaned closer with a smug look on his face.
"I won't call you that, I won't call you that!" Xia Yingying pushed hard against Chen Feng's smug face.
"Don't do that, didn't you call out last night?" Chen Feng said, holding Xia Yingying.
"Get out of here! I didn't, I didn't!" Xia Yingying's face turned red as she covered her face with her hands and denied it vehemently.
As the two were playing around, Liu Ping came to the door with a plate of fruit. She listened closely to the sounds inside, rolled her eyes, shook her head, and discreetly went downstairs.
Men are really something. No matter how old they are, they all like to be called "Dad." What a quirk!
Meanwhile, the village chief had already received their message. He instructed Chen Feng over the phone that he was anxious and should not reconcile with Chen Feng, but instead keep him in check.
They repeatedly told them not to reveal his identity, and the others naturally nodded in agreement.
"What's going on? Chen Feng talked to them again?" the village chief's wife asked anxiously from the side.
"Haha, Chen Feng got anxious and went door-to-door negotiating all night, even offering a down payment and asking if he could pay in installments."
"That's hilarious! You thought you were so great, but where's all that bravado you used to have? Go ahead and keep it up!"
"With just a few words, I can make you run around in circles, leaving you helpless and desperate."
"The funniest thing is that I bet Chen Feng still doesn't know why things that were going so well turned out like this overnight, hahaha."
"I bet he's at home in a terrible state right now, not knowing what to do."
Village Chief Ma was overjoyed, even admiring his own intelligence. He picked up his small wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
On such a happy day, we must have a drink to celebrate!
"Old Ma, do you think he won't find out that someone is sabotaging him behind the scenes?" the village chief's wife said worriedly.
If Chen Feng finds out that he was the one behind this, given Chen Feng's temper, he definitely won't let him off the hook, not to mention that the two families have a long-standing feud.
"Know? Know my ass. Don't let Chen Feng's seemingly smart appearance fool you; he's nothing compared to me."
"You little sparrow, trying to act like an eagle in front of me? You're nothing but a fart."
"With his brain, he probably would never have imagined that someone was actually behind this. He probably still thinks that it was just Li Laoqi and his gang who were trying to extort more money from him."
"Hahaha, if we're talking about strength, I might not be your match right now, but if we're talking about brains, even a hundred Chen Fengs wouldn't be a match for me."
Village Chief Ma looked smug and refilled his glass with wine.
“That’s true. After all, he’s just a college student with a bit more cunning. How can he compete with an old fox like you?” The village chief’s wife agreed and nodded subconsciously.
The next morning, Chen Feng, with Xia Yingying and Liu Ping by his side, took Liu Ping's phone and pressed the video call button.
To be honest, Chen Feng was a little nervous and embarrassed.
After not seeing each other for over twenty years, suddenly having a video call – who wouldn't feel awkward?
After a few rings, the video call was answered, and a man who looked about 60% like Chen Feng appeared on the phone.
The man's face was wrinkled, and he looked quite weathered.
Their eyes met, and both of them were a little nervous, neither of them speaking first.
Finally, the man broke the deadlock. He didn't know what to say either, so he could only bite the bullet and say something.
"I am your father..."
Chen Feng found this strange; it sounded like an insult.
The person on the other end of the video is indeed his father.
"Sigh." Chen Feng didn't know what to say, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.
Chen Feng's father: "..."
"Alright, you two just met, stop with the awkward small talk. Your son knows about your situation, I've told him everything," Liu Ping chimed in from the side.
"Oh, oh, oh, you told him? That's good." Chen Jianguo nodded repeatedly, his tension easing considerably.
“Didn’t our son want to open a gold mine? I told you about that. Now the village chief is targeting us. He wants to oust the village chief so you can come back.”
"Send a copy of the evidence you've collected over the years to your son and see if he can use it," Liu Ping said directly.
"That bastard messed with our son?" Chen Jianguo's eyes turned icy cold upon hearing this, a stark contrast to his earlier demeanor.
“He’s just trying to trip him up behind my back. Don’t worry, send the evidence to our son first, and he can see if there’s any way to take him down.” Liu Ping told him not to worry.
"Okay, I understand." Chen Jianguo said, then hung up the phone and sent over all the evidence he had collected over the years.
Chen Feng opened the evidence and flipped through it page by page.
This is all evidence of the village chief's illegal land occupation and sale, and his bullying and monopolistic practices over the years.
"I'm going to the city to see if this evidence is enough. You guys wait at home." Chen Feng made a copy of the evidence and then drove to the city.
He was going to find Xiahou and ask if he could send the village chief in directly.
The news of Chen Feng leaving the village quickly reached the village chief's ears. He sat in his chair with a smug smile on his face, feeling extremely comfortable.
"Why did he suddenly go to the city?" the village chief's wife wondered.
"What else can I do but beg the boss? But do you think the boss will even listen to you? It's hilarious."
