Zhao Qinjuan looked puzzled after seeing the village chief do that.
Chapter 439 Nothing was found during the examination.
"He probably has something to take care of, it shouldn't take too long. How about this, I'll go over and check on the situation."
To prevent the village chief from letting something slip, Gao Qilin immediately echoed Zhao Qinjuan's words as soon as she finished speaking. At the same time, she quickly went to the village chief's side and whispered:
“Although these people have committed many evils, they are still government employees. If you lay a hand on them, do you think you and the people in the village will have a good life? You'll be lucky if you don't go to jail.”
"What should we do then? We can't just let these bad guys get away with it, can we?"
After hearing Gao Qilin say that, the village chief looked puzzled, unsure of what he was doing.
"Don't worry, I'll figure out how to deal with them. All you have to do now is act like you know nothing. Didn't you promise them a tour of the village? Now take them there. Anyway, there's nothing shameful in our village, so let them look around as they please."
The village chief thought Gao Qilin's words made sense, so he did as he was told and immediately went to Zhao Qinjuan, acting the same way he had at the beginning.
"I just finished explaining some things to the villagers, so I was a little late. I'm really sorry. Don't worry, I'll take you on a tour right away."
After saying that, the village chief led the way again.
"You gave those villagers some instructions; perhaps they were tasked with hiding something shady in the village?"
Upon hearing what the village chief said, Zhao Qinjuan immediately began to question him. After all, she was a professional inspector, and he had encountered this kind of thing many times before.
"How could that be? There's nothing shameful in our village, so we wouldn't hide anything. If you're worried, you can go with the villagers. That way, they won't accuse me of hiding anything, right?"
The village chief was the kind of person who hated it most when others tarnished his reputation, and he immediately showed his dissatisfaction after hearing what Zhao Qinjuan said.
After saying that, he gathered all the villagers together and asked them to accompany Zhao Qinjuan on a tour of the village.
Seeing the village chief's attitude, Zhao Qinjuan didn't know what to say and could only follow behind.
"Your village is quite something, you've even built a school. If I remember correctly, your village shouldn't have much money, so where did you get the money to build a school?"
Since the school is built in the center of the village, it can be seen from any location.
Before coming to inspect the village, Zhao Qinjuan had made a point of learning about it and knew some of its situation. So when she saw what was in front of her, she couldn't help but ask questions.
Faced with Zhao Qinjuan's question, the village chief looked very embarrassed and stammered, unsure of how to explain.
Seeing him like this, Gao Qilin was afraid he would let something slip, so he quickly stepped forward and said:
“The village has made some money selling fruit in recent years. The villagers are very conscious of their money and have pooled it all for the school, which is why you see what it is like.”
"The first thing they thought of after getting money was education. It seems that the people in this village have a really high level of awareness, which is worth learning from."
After hearing what Gao Qilin said, Zhao Qinjuan couldn't help but sigh.
After observing the village for a while, Zhao Qinjuan felt that the village was not as described in the whistleblower letter, so she prepared to leave.
"You're going to leave without saying a word after the inspection?"
However, upon realizing that Zhao Qinjuan was about to leave, Zhao Ruilong immediately stopped her and began to question her.
"We came here to check if there were any violations in this village, right? We've already checked, and there are no violations. Besides, I think it's a model school among the surrounding villages. I don't think there's any need to continue checking, right?"
"Oh right, I remember what you wanted me to do, lol."
After saying this, Zhao Qinjuan suddenly realized that she had forgotten an important detail, and immediately became serious, looking at the village chief and the others beside her.
"Finally, you've got it! I thought you wouldn't have thought of that."
Seeing Zhao Qinjuan's performance, Zhao Ruilong looked very pleased. He felt that Zhao Qinjuan had said everything she wanted to say.
"I'm really sorry for the trouble this inspection has caused you. Please continue to maintain the current situation. If you continue to develop according to this standard, you will definitely be the outstanding village this year."
"What? We can get an award for outstanding village? That's really unexpected."
After hearing what Zhao Qinjuan said, the village chief could no longer suppress the smile on his face.
Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly asked someone to help hold Zhao Qinjuan back while he ran home.
Zhao Ruilong looked very disappointed after hearing Zhao Qinjuan say those words.
Chapter 440 Not as desired
She pulled him behind her and said in a disdainful tone:
“I didn’t ask you to say these things, how come you don’t understand what I mean! Forget it, you probably won’t understand even if I explain more to you, just stay in the car, I’ll handle everything else.”
Zhao Ruilong wanted to say something more, but the person in front of him was, after all, his sister, so he swallowed his words.
Zhao Qinjuan didn't know what she had done wrong, but she did as he said and immediately got back into the car to observe how Zhao Ruilong would handle the situation.
After seeing Zhao Qinjuan return to the car, Zhao Ruilong adopted a thuggish demeanor, approaching Gao Qilin directly and speaking in a questioning tone:
"Are you really running those nursing homes and schools for the benefit of the people in the village? Stop lying to me. You can fool others, but you can't fool me."
After saying that, Zhao Ruilong burst into laughter, displaying an arrogant demeanor.
Because he spoke very loudly, his words were heard by all the surrounding villagers, who looked puzzled.
"What do you mean by that? Are you implying that he has ulterior motives for providing us with these things?"
"Of course. Although you haven't read many books, you should have heard the saying, 'No one gets up early for nothing.' If he doesn't get any benefit from this, do you think he would put all his energy into you?"
Although the villagers were illiterate, they were not stupid, and many of them immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Ruilong's words.
At this time, the villagers did not know what kind of person Zhao Ruilong was. They only knew that he was sent by the higher-ups to inspect, so they believed everything he said and began to suspect Gao Qilin.
"Tell me honestly, what exactly is your purpose in setting up schools and such here!"
"That's right, hurry up and tell us. We trusted you so much before, but we never expected that you did this just for money. It's really disheartening."
"You... you really believe what an outsider like him says? Don't forget I've been by your side all this time. You've all seen what kind of person I am. You don't need Zhao Ruilong to tell you, do you?"
Seeing that these people looked disappointed after questioning him because of Zhao Ruilong's words, he never expected that he would end up being treated like this.
Upon hearing what Gao Qilin said, the villagers who had been shouting earlier immediately fell silent. They looked at each other, and for a moment no one dared to speak.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Zhao Ruilong once again fanned the flames from the sidelines, using his special status and some slander to make the villagers half believe him.
This time, however, the villagers didn't gossip about Gao Qilin as they had before. Instead, they stared at each other, unsure of what to say.
When the atmosphere turned like this, the village chief hurriedly ran over with a bag of local specialties. (bgci) Upon seeing the scene, he looked puzzled and asked:
"What happened? I've only been gone a short while, how did it become like this? What happened?"
Faced with the village chief's question, Gao Qilin recounted everything that had just happened.
After hearing the village chiefs collectively question Gao Qilin, the village chief looked helpless and pointed at the group of people in front of him, saying:
"You actually dare to question Gao Qilin? If it weren't for him, do you think the fruit in our orchard could be sold? Besides, did he spend a single penny of our money to build the school and the nursing home? Even the road under our feet was built with his own money. And you still think he wants to make money off you?"
After hearing what the village chief said, the villagers lowered their heads in shame, and no one spoke again.
"They're only acting this way because they're afraid of being scammed; there's no need to say that about them."
Seeing that the village chief's words were inappropriate, Gao Qilin quickly stopped him. After all, he would be working with the villagers for a long time, and it would be bad if this matter damaged their relationship.
"Gao Qilin is so understanding. You've all said those things about him, and he doesn't even hold it against you. What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to him!"
As soon as the village chief said this, the villagers immediately stepped forward to apologize. Although they spoke softly, their remorse was evident in their eyes and actions.
Seeing the scene before him, Zhao Ruilong was at a loss for words. He felt that staying there would only make things more awkward, so he prepared to leave.
But given how things had developed, how could Gao Qilin give him a chance to leave? Seeing Superman get into the car, he immediately stepped forward to stop him and questioned him:
"Didn't you just say I did this to swindle money from the villagers? Then tell me, how did I swindle them?"
Chapter 441 Let them leave
"This……"
Faced with Gao Qilin's questioning, Zhao Ruilong stammered and couldn't utter a single word, completely losing his previous composure.
Seeing him like this, Gao Qilin wanted to continue speaking, but at that moment he noticed Zhao Qinjuan sitting in the car.
At this moment, Zhao Qinjuan was looking at Gao Qilin with helpless eyes, although she did not speak.
But you could tell from her eyes that she didn't want Gao Qilin to continue talking like that.
Gao Qilin understood that Zhao Qinjuan was different from Zhao Ruilong; she wasn't the kind of person who liked to cause trouble. Moreover, her behavior today showed that she treated this operation as official business.
Seeing this, Gao Qilin restrained himself considerably, after all, he didn't want Zhao Qinjuan to get involved in this matter as well.
"Of course, it's normal for you, as an inspection team, to have doubts about this place. After all, this place was so poor before, and now it's suddenly so rich. Anyone would question it. I understand your work. Since you've inspected everything and haven't found any problems, can you leave now?"
Zhao Ruilong was quite surprised after hearing what Gao Qilin said, because he thought Gao Qilin would make things difficult for him in this matter.
Seeing that Zhao Ruilong was still standing there in the car, Zhao Qinjuan nudged him with her arm and gave him a look that told him to leave quickly.
Although Zhao Ruilong was very resentful, he knew that there would be no benefit for him if he continued to stay here.
“You’re right. I haven’t found anything out right now, so there’s no need for you to stay. But you’d better be careful in the future and don’t give me any leverage.”
After saying that, Zhao Ruilong drove away, afraid that Gao Qilin might say something else later.
Seeing Gao Qilin let Zhao Ruilong leave like that, Gao Qilan, who was standing to the side, looked very puzzled and quickly stepped forward to ask:
"What's going on? The situation is clearly in our favor right now, so why aren't you continuing? Why are you letting him go? Didn't you say before that you would fight them to the end? Why are you scared now that it's right in front of you?"
At this moment, Gao Qilan thought that Gao Qilin was acting out of fear, so she carried out what he had said earlier.
However, after she said that, she realized that what she said was somewhat inappropriate and wanted to change it, but she didn't know how to bring it up.
“I’m not afraid of him, and I know this opportunity is very favorable to us. The reason I let him go is because I don’t want to involve any innocent people in this matter.”
