The villagers watching began to whisper among themselves when they saw Lu Feng and his group targeting Liu Zi. In the village, Liu Zi was an absolute figure who could control everything.
"Did this big boss find out something?"
"That's 100,000 yuan! Even if you're rich, you can't just let it go like that."
"They're just looking for trouble with him!"
"Do you think this big boss can kill Liu Zi?"
"What are you thinking? Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake."
Liu Zi stared at Lu Feng, feeling extremely displeased. However, he was surrounded, and even the most arrogant man knew to back down at this moment. He said, "Maybe I forgot. I'll pay."
"What did you say?" Lu Feng shouted.
"I said I'd pay for that bowl of noodles!"
"Speak louder, I can't hear you!!!" Lu Feng roared.
Liu Zi's face hardened, and he gritted his teeth, roaring, "I'll pay for that bowl of noodles!!!"
"I still can't hear you. You're not being sincere at all. You're eating noodles and not paying for them. How arrogant!" Lu Feng waved his hand and shouted, "Tie him up and hang him here so the villagers can see what happens to people who don't pay for their meals."
Liu Zi panicked and struggled desperately, but how could one person break free from more than a dozen people? In less than a few minutes, he was tied up and hung from a tree by the roadside.
The villagers were terrified by the sight. Many went home, while others watched from the top of the wall. No one spoke up for Lu Feng, and no one cheered.
Because the villagers knew that Lu Feng would leave sooner or later, and this place would belong to Liu Zi. After Lu Feng left, they would have to face Liu Zi's wrath. Those who couldn't bear it had already left, and the remaining people had become accustomed to being timid.
Someone quietly informed Sun Er, and within ten minutes, Sun Er, along with Si Biao and Zhao Ergou, rushed over.
"Mr. Lu, what are you doing?" Zhao Ergou shouted when he saw Liu Zi hanging from the tree. "Is there no law? Is there no justice? Are you beating people up in the village? Call the township!"
Sun Er stared at Lu Feng and said, "This is deliberate revenge, targeting the people of our village. Our Zhou family will not compromise."
Less than ten minutes later, the police arrived again. It was the same group of people. When they saw Liu Zi hanging up, they walked up to him and asked, "What's going on here? Come on, come to the police station."
"No! I'm not hanging him on a tree without a reason. He ate noodles but didn't pay." Lu Feng said with a stern face, "Since ancient times, murderers have been punished with their lives and debtors have been punished with their debts. I'm here to collect a debt. If he doesn't pay, I'll hang him up."
"I said I'd pay back the money!!" Liu Zi roared.
"The sound is too soft, I can't hear it!"
"Let's put that aside for now and take him back to the police station to find out what happened." Zhao Ergou stepped forward and whispered, "President Lu, you should have told me beforehand. We can discuss any issues. Doing this could easily provoke the villagers."
“It seems like you didn’t even go to the police station to find out the details yesterday. You just settled things with your mouth. I brought the person who bought the noodles today, isn’t that enough?” Lu Feng said, ignoring Zhao Ergou.
"Well... since it's a private dispute, let's settle it ourselves. We can't cause any trouble!" The police officers said and left.
"It's just a bowl of noodles, why are you, a big boss, making things difficult for him?"
“No matter what, he’s from our village. I’m the village chief. Mr. Lu, you’re a magnanimous person. It’s not right to keep him hanging like this.” Zhao Ergou said, “I’ll give him the money!”
"I can't hear you!" Lu Feng said, reaching up to pick at his ear.
Zhao Ergou hurriedly rummaged through his pockets, pulled out two hundred yuan, and stuffed it into Lu Feng's pocket.
Lu Feng glanced at the time; they had been hanging there for almost an hour. He waved his hand and said, "Give the village chief some face and let him down. This matter of face ends here."
“Mr. Lu, let’s go to the village committee to rest for a bit. I had a meeting with the villagers yesterday about the electronics factory. They all said they have a special connection with you, Mr. Lu, and that the price can be lowered further,” Zhao Ergou said.
Lu Feng ignored Zhao Ergou, stood in the center of the village, and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, I am Lu Feng, the chairman of Jiafeng Technology. I am here to benefit you all and lead you to a better life. Don't listen to rumors. Be brave enough to report any illegal elements. Don't be afraid of retaliation. There is a reward for reporting!"
Zhao Ergou stared coldly at Lu Feng, then glanced at the quiet village. Only one child peeked out from somewhere before being pulled back by their parents.
Lu Feng was slightly disappointed. Before leaving, he hung a complaint box at the entrance of the village. Before his car even left the village, someone knocked it down with a bamboo pole.
Liu Zi's arms were covered in bruises, and he was cursing in pain. He looked at Zhao Ergou and said, "This guy is not someone to mess with!"
"Not easy to mess with? Of all those big bosses who have come and gone, which one is easy to mess with? In my eyes, dragons have to coil up and tigers have to lie low. Didn't Erquezi's family all die out? Didn't his family cause trouble with the electronics factory back then? Find me a few people, prepare to seek justice for Erquezi's whole family. Have all the materials from back then ready."
Zhao Ergou took a puff of his cigarette and pondered, "Tonight, go to those troublemakers' houses and give them a good talking-to. If anyone dares to report us in the city, break their legs. But don't be too ruthless. Give them a thousand yuan, however much you can give them."
"I didn't go up there that day, so why are they targeting me?" Liu Zi hissed in pain, cursing his bad luck inwardly.
The next day, Lu Feng led a group of people into the village again. When they reached the center of the village, they ran into Liu Zi coming out of a courtyard. Lu Feng smiled and said, "Come here!"
Without saying a word, Liu Zi went straight into the courtyard. A group of people rushed into the courtyard, dragged him out, and pinned him to the street.
