Brother, just how powerful is our family?

Seeing the situation was turning against him, Li Dalong retreated while stubbornly insisting, "What do you know! I'm trying to get more benefits for everyone! Qin Feng is so rich, what's wrong with giving us a bigger share?"

"Bullshit!" An old man raised his pipe to strike. "It's their business if they have money! The government has standards for how much compensation they should receive! What right do you have to ask for such an exorbitant amount? This is extortion!"

"Exactly! You've completely disgraced our Li Family Village!"

"Where's the village chief? Where's Li Fugui? Why are you letting your son cause such a ruckus?"

Just then, a man in his fifties with a plump figure rushed over. He was Li Fugui, the village chief of Lijia Village.

He had obviously rushed over after hearing the news, and was covered in sweat.

"What happened? What happened?" Li Fugui squeezed into the crowd and saw his son's disheveled appearance, as well as the luxury vehicles. He already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

"Dad!" Li Dalong cried out as if he'd seen a savior. "They hit me! You have to stand up for me!"

Before Li Fugui could speak, a villager interrupted, "Village Chief! Your son is trying to extort one million from Boss Qin for a 10% stake! He angered Boss Qin and drove him away; the materials company is moving!"

"What?!" Li Fugui's vision went black, and he almost fainted.

As the village head, he understood better than the ordinary villagers what this investment meant for Lijia Village and the entire Huai County.

During a county meeting, the Party Secretary and County Head repeatedly emphasized that this was a once-in-a-century opportunity, and anyone who dared to cause trouble would be a sinner to the entire county.

He whirled around and slapped his son across the face: "You little brat! Who told you to do this?!"

The slap landed squarely, and Li Dalong's face immediately swelled up.

"Dad! You hit me?!" Li Dalong covered his face, incredulous.

"I'm going to hit you!" Li Fugui trembled with rage. "Do you know what Boss Qin's investment will bring to our village? Do you know how much the county and city governments value this project? How dare you extort me? Are you tired of living?!"

He turned to Qin Feng's car and bowed deeply: "Boss Qin, I'm so sorry! It's my fault for not raising my son properly! Please don't hold this scoundrel against me! All the villagers of Lijia Village welcome your investment! We will absolutely cooperate with the land acquisition work!"

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Qin Feng's face.

He looked at Li Fugui, then at the expectant villagers around him, and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Village Chief Li, let the law handle your son's matter," Qin Feng said calmly. "As for the materials company... we've already decided to relocate."

After saying that, the car window rolled up.

The convoy slowly started and, under the watchful eyes of the villagers, turned around and drove away from Lijia Village.

Li Fugui slumped to the ground, his face ashen.

Li Dalong wanted to say something, but he was surrounded by several angry villagers.

"It's all your fault! You little devil!"

"I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"

You ruined something great that was going to happen in our village!

"Kill him!"

The scene was chaotic for a moment, until the sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached.

Three police cars arrived at the scene, led by the deputy director of the Huai County Public Security Bureau.

After getting out of the car, he glanced at the scene and walked directly to Li Fugui: "Li Fugui, your son is suspected of extortion, and the amount is particularly large. He has been summoned according to the law. You will also come with us to the station to cooperate with the investigation."

"I...I didn't..." Li Fugui tried to explain.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out after an investigation." The deputy director waved his hand. "Take them away!"

Li Dalong and Li Fugui were taken into a police car. As the police car drove away, the villagers spontaneously applauded.

Someone shouted at the police car, "Serves you right!"

Some people shook their heads and sighed, "Such a good opportunity, just like that, it's gone."

Viewers in the live stream witnessed the entire farce.

The live chat is going crazy!

"This is truly gratifying!"

"This kind of village bully should have been dealt with long ago!"

"President Qin is domineering! We won't tolerate this!"

"But the materials company really moved? The villagers of Lijia Village are so pitiful..."

"There's always a reason why someone is pitiful; who told them to have such a village bully?"

"Wait, look at the news!"

A netizen posted a link to the newly released news article: "Announcement on Deepening the Special Campaign Against Organized Crime and Eliminating Evil, and Optimizing the Business Environment" published on the official website of Shenyang Municipal People's Government.

The notice explicitly stated: "Recently, some areas in our city have seen egregious attempts to interfere with the implementation of major investment projects through illegal means. The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government attach great importance to this and will severely crack down on all illegal and criminal activities that damage the business environment and extort investors..."

Within ten minutes of the announcement being released, it had already received over 100,000 clicks.

At 1 p.m., the Huai County Public Security Bureau issued a police report: "This morning, our county police swiftly handled a case involving suspected extortion of a major investment project. The suspect, Li Moulong (male, 28 years old), and his gang attempted to extort a large sum of money from investors by threatening to obstruct land acquisition. Currently, Li Moulong and 12 others have been criminally detained, and the case is under further investigation."

At 3 p.m., the Shenyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision issued a notice: "Li Fugui, secretary of the Party branch and director of the village committee of Lijia Village, Huai County, is suspected of condoning and shielding his son's illegal and criminal activities and using his position to seek illegal benefits for his son. He is currently under disciplinary review and supervisory investigation."

The efficiency is astonishing.

Inside the Biyue Garden villa, Qin Feng was on the phone.

The call came from the Party Secretary of Shenyang City: "Mr. Qin, we have dealt with today's incident seriously. The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have launched a special campaign to improve the business environment throughout the city to resolutely prevent such incidents from happening again. We hope that the actions of a few individuals will not affect your confidence in your hometown."

Qin Feng calmly said, "Secretary, rest assured, our determination to invest in Huai County will not change. It's just that the location of the materials company does need to be adjusted."

"I understand, I understand!" the secretary quickly replied. "We've already asked each county and district to submit their shortlisted plots, and they'll be delivered to your office tomorrow. Please choose whichever you like; the city will fully cooperate!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yao leaned closer and said, "Brother, are you really going to change locations? The villagers in Lijia Village are actually quite innocent."

Qin Feng looked out the window: "I know. But the rules can't be broken. If Li Dalong dares to ask for 10% today, Zhang Xiaolong might ask for 20% tomorrow. I must let everyone know that Huanyu Group's investment is for mutual benefit and win-win, not a piece of meat that can be extorted."

He paused for a moment, then added, "However... the villagers of Lijia Village can work for the company in the future if they wish. These are two separate matters."

Qin Yao nodded and turned on her phone.

Her live stream was still running, and although there was no live content, the chat was still lively.

Many netizens are discussing the follow-up:

"Where do you think they'll move them to?"

"I think I'd probably choose a place with better transportation."

"The people of Lijia Village are probably kicking themselves now."

"So, one bad apple spoils the whole bunch."
