"You're really in trouble now! You've been so cocky! You're such a bully, relying on your connections! You were just showing off here because someone from the county came!"
"I treat you like a human being, but you think you're some kind of lackey of the police?"
The village was noisy.
A dozen villagers chased after Chen Gang, intending to beat him.
Village chief Wu Fengshou was filled with sighs, but he couldn't be bothered to care. He figured that if he got beaten up, he deserved it, so he went home with his hands behind his back.
