"Rejected? If it was rejected, why wasn't my money refunded? Why is there no rejection receipt? Do you think you get to decide this?!"
"If you're in charge, then go ahead and arrest them. All the villagers are watching anyway. If anything goes wrong, you'll be fully responsible!"
Chen Feng stretched out his hands, adopting a completely thuggish posture, showing he wasn't afraid of being caught at all.
When the deputy director looked around again, he found that many people in the crowd were recording videos with their mobile phones, capturing everything.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop recording! You guys put your phones down!" the deputy director shouted, pointing at the group.
He's really at his wit's end. He originally thought it would be an easy job, just to bring the person back and be done with it.
To his utter surprise, Chen Feng turned out to be quite a handful.
"Wait here, I'll make a phone call."
The deputy director took a few steps back, took out his phone and started making a call; he was really at his breaking point.
"Boss, this is a bit difficult..."
He didn't call Xiahou, as he wasn't in a position to do so. Instead, he called the leaders of the Land Bureau.
"I understand, I'll be there right away."
The land bureau leader sighed and had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.
Soon, the leaders of the Land Bureau arrived with a large group of people.
"Chen Feng, your mining license hasn't been issued yet; the procedures are still being processed."
"But what you're doing now is a crime, don't you understand?"
"You must come with us and cooperate with the investigation."
The land bureau leaders discussed the matter and concluded that they hoped to resolve it at the lowest possible cost.
"I can't leave, I can't leave at all, go ahead and arrest me if you dare."
Chen Feng, who had just been so accommodating, suddenly stepped back, went into the crowd, and defiantly extended his hand.
Upon seeing this, the land bureau leader immediately became furious and waved his hand, shouting, "Go! Take the suspect back!"
The top leader has already spoken: Chen Feng must be taken away today, and no one can change that!
A dozen or so hats came up and tried to take Chen Feng away, but Zheng Ping and the others protected Chen Feng in front of them.
"Don't arrest me! What right do you have to arrest me!"
"That's right, if you're going to arrest us, arrest us too!"
"Come on, grab me!"
The crowd immediately erupted into chaos, with the dozen or so men in hats being pushed and shoved repeatedly, and the situation began to spiral out of control.
"Come back, come back first, Chen Feng, don't incite the crowd!"
The land bureau leader pointed at Chen Feng in the crowd and shouted, quickly calling everyone back.
Such riots can easily escalate into bloodshed.
If things really get out of control and escalate, then it will be a very serious matter.
"I didn't say anything, they did it voluntarily," Chen Feng said innocently, shrugging his shoulders in the crowd.
"Oh shit."
Seeing that things were about to go wrong, the land bureau leaders hurriedly started making phone calls to call for more people.
They only had a dozen or so hats, while there were seventy or eighty people on the other side. How were they supposed to catch Chen Feng?
Besides, they can't possibly arrest everyone; that would be a joke.
In this situation, they had to call for backup, and then they forcibly arrested Chen Feng.
After Xiahou nodded, a large number of hats were on their way, along with riot police, totaling one or two hundred people.
Several leaders in hats also went out to help, fearing that the situation would escalate out of control.
Xiahou took a sip of tea in his office and smiled dismissively.
"That's it? Is this all you've got?"
"You don't really think you can fight me just by relying on a few villagers, do you?"
"childish."
On the other side, the two sides were in a tense standoff. The leader of the land bureau tried to persuade Chen Feng to obediently go back with him, but Chen Feng wouldn't listen to him at all.
When reinforcements arrived, and the menacing riot police came, the villagers began to feel intimidated.
"Holy crap, are we really going to fight them?" Zheng Ping said to Chen Feng in a worried whisper.
"Screw what, the audience's all here, it's my turn to perform, everyone grab your phones and record, start a live stream!"
Chen Feng reached out, and Li Chunlai handed him a large megaphone.
He walked out of the crowd with a megaphone, and the leader in the hat opposite him began to speak.
"Chen Feng, you are still young. Don't make mistakes. Just come with us, and everything will be explained. We will give you justice."
"Hey, hey."
After testing the loudspeaker and confirming that it was working, Chen Feng put one hand on his hip and began to shout at the crowd of several hundred people.
"I'm telling you, it was Xiahou who personally told me that I could start mining ahead of schedule. You have no right to arrest me!"
"Don't talk nonsense. How could Xia have instructed you to do something so illegal? Don't throw mud at me!" The leader in the hat was shocked when he heard this and quickly stopped Chen Feng.
Hearing this, the others were also suspicious, and some even imagined a dramatic scene of unequal distribution of spoils.
Aside from these leaders, the others didn't know Chen Feng. They were just doing their job, and they preferred to watch the drama unfold rather than arrest him.
"I'm smearing you? Do you dare let Xiahou come out and confront me? Do you dare!"
"As long as he comes, I'll obediently go with you and let him confront me!"
"Your leader Xia is still meeting with a wealthy businessman at a private club, planning to collude with him to seize my mine. You don't really think he's that clean, do you?"
Chen Feng then took the megaphone and started tearing at Xiahou's underwear, making the leaders break out in a cold sweat.
The key issue is that there are a bunch of phones recording over there. If this gets leaked online, what kind of impact will that have!
Those leaders didn't dare to waste a minute and immediately called Xiahou, as they really couldn't handle the situation.
"What did you say!"
Upon hearing the situation, Xiahou's previous composure vanished instantly. He was both angry and anxious, and even instinctively stood up.
"I understand, I'll be right there!"
Xiahou hung up the phone and went out to the mine. He was so angry that he wanted to tear Chen Feng's mouth apart.
He never expected that Chen Feng would be so shameless as to reveal such a thing.
The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better!
Although he holds a high position, he is not without enemies. If his enemies hear these words and use them to make a fuss, things will get very serious!
The most urgent task now is to shut Chen Feng up and restore his colleagues' confidence in him.
If he continues to hide and refuse to show himself, wouldn't that be an even stronger indication of his guilty conscience?
Meanwhile, Chen Feng was at the mine, still talking non-stop through a megaphone, and everyone was listening with great interest. If they weren't wearing uniforms, they would have wanted to start recording with their phones.
It's just tough on those leaders; they really want to hear it but dare not, because just hearing these words makes them tremble with fear.
"This is what Xiahou did! He even threatened me to my face, trying to make me look bad. Do you think it's easy for me, a villager? If you're so capable, then kill me!" Chen Feng shouted, straining his neck.
