"Whether it's possible or not, you'll find out soon enough." Chen Feng didn't explain further, just chuckled and leaned back in his chair.
"No, no, no... This is impossible, impossible!" The village chief stammered, repeating the same phrase over and over.
The calmer Chen Feng remained, the more flustered the village chief became.
The calmer he is, the more likely it is that what he says is true!
The village chief picked up his phone with trembling hands. He wanted to call for help, but looking at the list of phone numbers, he had no idea who to call.
Looking at the completely calm Chen Feng, he felt extremely panicked.
Just then, two cars drove up and stopped directly in the village chief's yard. The village chief peeked out and was terrified – those were government vehicles!
It's quite obvious why the car came to his house.
"No, no, no, this is impossible! This person didn't come looking for me. How could you possibly know someone with such connections?" The village chief shrank back in fright, his words filled with shock and disbelief.
But the house is only so big, where else can you hide?
Soon, several people in uniforms walked in, their target the village chief who was slumped in a chair.
"Hello, we have received a report about you. Please come with us." The leader said coldly, pulling out handcuffs.
Behind these people, a man in a suit stepped out and looked around.
When the village chief saw the man, he was completely stunned, his eyes filled with unbearable shock, and his mind went blank for a moment.
He recognized the man; he was the secretary of that influential figure.
The reason he came here today is self-evident.
"Why is this happening? How did Chen Feng manage to befriend such an important figure?" The village chief was shocked. His eyes were glazed over, and he slumped completely into his chair.
He just couldn't understand why Chen Feng had such powerful connections. Just six months ago, he was a street urchin he didn't even consider a threat.
But to everyone's surprise, in just six months, he had grown into a powerful figure who could crush him at will.
The village chief was filled with shock, confusion, and deep regret.
If he had known it would be like this, how could he have dared to meddle with Chen Feng behind his back!
If he had known it would be like this, he would not only have not interfered, but he would have strongly supported him, and even gone to his door to beg for his whole family's forgiveness.
But it's too late to say anything now.
"Chen Feng, I beg you, I beg you to let me go. I was wrong back then, I was wrong. I beg you to let me go."
"If you're willing to let me off the hook, I'll do anything you want."
The village chief slid off his chair and collapsed to his knees in front of Chen Feng, weeping and begging for his forgiveness.
His previous confidence and composure have long since vanished without a trace.
Chen Feng stood up from his chair, looked down at the village chief kneeling in front of him and pleading, his eyes unwavering.
"If begging for mercy worked, what would be the point of prisons?"
Upon hearing this, the village chief's face turned ashen. His lips trembled, and he seemed to want to say something but couldn't.
The village chief's wife, standing to the side, was so terrified the moment she saw the uniformed men enter that she collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably, unable to utter a word.
Two uniformed men stepped forward and lifted the village chief, who was kneeling on the ground, up. Two other uniformed men also lifted his wife up.
She also needs to cooperate with the investigation.
Just as the village chief was about to be taken away, he lowered his head and used all his strength to say one sentence.
"Wait a moment!"
The uniformed man stopped what he was doing, not knowing what he was going to do.
The village chief slowly raised his head, looked at Chen Feng with a complicated expression, and picked up the glass of wine that Chen Feng had poured for him.
With a slight tremor, he brought his right hand to his lips, closed his eyes tightly, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Walk!"
The moment the village chief placed the wine glass on the table, two uniformed men pushed him directly to the door.
As soon as you step out of the gate, you see countless men, women, and children standing on the main road, all craning their necks to watch the spectacle.
When they saw the village chief being led out in handcuffs, everyone gasped and whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with shock.
The arrival of the official bus had already caused quite a stir in the village; the whole village was in an uproar.
Such big news! Even the people playing cards at the convenience store threw down their cards and rushed out to see what was going on.
"My God, the village chief has been arrested?"
"What's going on? Holy crap, they just arrested me like that?"
"And his wife too, holy crap!"
"Look, Chen Feng is right behind us!"
Chen Feng was the last to come out; he had just exchanged a few polite words with Secretary Xiahou inside.
In front of all the villagers, the village chief and his wife were forced into the car.
Before being forced onto the vehicle, the village chief turned back and looked at Chen Feng with difficulty, asking a question.
"When exactly did you start considering me a rival?"
If Chen Feng had considered him an opponent from the beginning and had schemed against him step by step until he reached this point, then the village chief would accept his defeat; he hadn't been wronged, as he had indeed underestimated Chen Feng.
"To be honest, I've never considered you an opponent at all."
Chen Feng paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked up at him. This was the most sincere sentence he had uttered all day.
Upon hearing this, the village chief's last line of defense was shattered. He stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with deep resentment and disbelief.
He had been scheming all along, but he never expected that Chen Feng would never have taken him seriously.
How ridiculous, how ridiculous! No wonder he never saw any hostility from Chen Feng.
He had never been taken seriously by Chen Feng, so where did the hostility come from?
"Come on, everyone, make way, we need to get out," the driver shouted, sticking his head out. Only then did everyone make way for him.
Finally, only Chen Feng remained in the village chief's courtyard, hands in his pockets, his eyes indifferent.
Amidst the astonished and shocked gazes of the villagers, Chen Feng walked back to his home step by step.
With each step he took forward, the villagers on both sides would instinctively make way for him.
Even the most naive among them would understand that the village chief's downfall was inextricably linked to Chen Feng.
If this had happened before, and someone had said that Chen Feng could kill the village chief, probably not a single villager would have believed it.
Because this is too outrageous. The village chief has been deeply entrenched for so many years. How can you just move him like that?
But at this moment, they had no choice but to believe it, because Chen Feng... had really done it.
Unbeknownst to them, that good-for-nothing youth had grown to a level they could hardly believe.
Among them, Li Laoqi and his companions, mingling in the crowd, stared wide-eyed, their legs trembling, speechless with shock at the scene.
