The village beauty and me!

Zhao Yaru spoke in increasingly detailed terms.

Eventually, even Li Chunlan understood.

"Is Xu Huifang trying to frame Chen Zhengding for undermining the collective economy?"

Zhao Yaru couldn't help but laugh, "That's roughly the idea."

"To put it bluntly, it's illegal appropriation, a very serious matter."

"Everyone in the village knows about her taking over her uncle's property. Even if there were fish, shrimp, and crabs in that river, you couldn't make more than ten thousand yuan a year."

"It was after I took over that I painstakingly organized and managed to create high-quality resources."

"It wasn't originally there, so why are you saying I got a bargain?" Chen Huan couldn't help but curse angrily.

Zhao Yaru quietly observed him, then slowly said, "Can you prove what you're saying?"

"Xu Huifang is capable of presenting arguments with reason and evidence."

"After all, you've only been in charge of the river for a few days, and you've already started generating substantial income since the day you took over. This is clearly reflected in your bank account and other personal information, so you can't deny it even if you want to."

"Regardless of the original truth, there are indeed many things here that cannot be explained."

  

"If someone were to conduct an investigation to gather evidence, the final result would be very unfavorable to you."

"The best outcome would be to terminate the lease and return the resources."

Chen Huan's anger continued to rise.

As a result, even physical indicators have changed.

At this moment, the internal energy within his body began to circulate more rapidly on its own, which actually dissipated much of his anger.

At least they didn't break through their reason.

While surprised, Chen Huan suddenly realized, "I can't get angry. The angrier I get, the more likely I am to make mistakes."

"Wouldn't that be letting Xu Huifang get away with it?"

Zhao Yaru heard all of Chen Huan's words.

At this moment, he couldn't help but show an expression of approval.

He said with a smile, "There's always a solution to everything."

"If you can just reveal the real reason why the value of freshwater resources in the river has skyrocketed, all of Xu Huifang's little tricks will fall apart on their own."

"How do we announce it? Ya Ru, please teach him quickly." Li Chunlan was getting anxious.

Chen Huan, the younger brother-in-law, had finally seen his fortunes improve, but now that he's started a business in the village, he's been targeted by others.

If I were to be falsely accused because of this, that would be terrible.

Chen Huan, standing to the side, curled his lip and said, "Then naturally I'll have to cooperate with Miss Zhao and share my secret with her."

One sentence completely exposed Zhao Yaru's intentions.

Zhao Yaru was slightly embarrassed, then quickly explained, "It's not that I'm greedy for anything, I just thought I could kill two birds with one stone."

"Cooperating with me will not do you any harm. Moreover, with the backing of our Zhao family's large company, the people Xu Huifang brought in won't be able to cause any trouble."

"This farce will naturally subside quietly."

Chen Huan refused outright, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Zhao, but your information is very important to me. I will naturally find a way to repay you later."

"But let's forget about the collaboration."

"My business is small-scale and not worthy of serious consideration."

"I will handle the rest myself."

Zhao Yaru frowned. "How can you solve this on your own? You can't solve it at all without me. We have to do this together."

Chen Huan grinned mischievously, "You can actually do it if you use your hands more."

Li Chunlan and Zhao Liping immediately understood Chen Huan's risqué joke, and both lowered their heads, pursing their lips and chuckling to themselves.

Zhao Yaru was completely baffled, not grasping the key point at all. "How do I do it? Can you show me?"

The fat man next to him was laughing so hard he was shaking all over.

After that, Chen Huan kept quiet about what had just happened and talked about other things.

At Li Chunlan's invitation, the fat man stayed for dinner that evening.

After dinner, when no one was around, the fat man quietly asked, "Huange, even if you don't want to cooperate with Zhao Yaru and don't want to share secrets with her, there still has to be a way to resolve Xu Guifang's matter, right?"

"You don't seem nervous at all, do you already have a plan?"

"We're such good friends, why don't you tell me something? It'll save me from having trouble sleeping tonight."

Chen Huan looked at him with a smile, "You definitely won't be able to sleep tonight."

"But I promise you'll know the truth soon."

"But before that, I have to fulfill another promise to you."

The fat man blinked curiously. "What promise? Will you make me the richest man in our county?"

Chen Huan gave a disdainful look. "The richest person in a county?"

"The benefits that Brother Huan is going to give you today are something that even the richest man in the province couldn't buy."

After saying that, he took out the small medicine bottle that was originally used to hold ordinary medicines from his pocket.

Under the fat man's curious gaze, a small golden pill was poured out.

"What is this? It smells so good!" The fat man blinked his small eyes, swallowing hard with envy.

"This thing is called the Golden Elixir. After consuming it, you will be reborn, your strength will increase exponentially, and the benefits will be beyond your imagination," Chen Huan said slowly.

"Wow, that's awesome! Thanks, Brother Huan!" The fat man reached out to take it.

But Chen Huan managed to dodge it.

He frowned and said, "The stuff is the best, but if you, with your mortal body, swallow it directly, you'll probably suffer a lot, and you might even die right away."

Even so, would you still be willing to try?

The fat man paused for a moment, scratched his head, and asked, "What are the chances of him kicking the bucket?"

Chen Huan couldn't help but laugh, "Very small, but I can't guarantee it 100%."

"I'll be there to help you, to minimize your suffering and save your life as much as possible."

The fat man nodded seriously, "Then let's stop beating around the bush and get started now, my godfather!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the fat man threw a golden pill into his mouth.

I opened my mouth to bite, only to find that I had bitten into nothing.

"Holy crap?"

"This stuff melts in my mouth, it's like there's some kind of energy coursing through my body..." the fat man rambled on, expressing his astonishment.

The next second, her face suddenly turned red, and she kept tugging at her clothes, "Ah, it's so hot! I feel like I'm melting! It's so uncomfortable!"

Sitting behind the fat man, Chen Huan dared not be negligent.

He acted immediately, placing both palms on the fat man's broad back and continuously channeling his internal energy into the fat man's meridians.

Because Chen Huan had personally consumed the Golden Elixir, he knew what the entire process of cleansing the meridians and transforming one's body was like.

That's why he dared to give the fat man, who had never practiced any martial arts, the Golden Elixir.

Only then can we have the confidence to ensure that the fat man can obtain the benefits of the Golden Elixir without losing his life.

Things went just as Chen Huan had predicted.

Guided and protected by increasingly pure true qi, the fat man's body was repeatedly cleansed and enhanced by the medicinal power of the golden pill.

Although he still had to endure incredibly terrifying pain, this guy had a certain amount of willpower; he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

"Hang in there a little longer, it'll be over soon," Chen Huan whispered to him.

With the final stages approaching, everything was about to be completed.

Just then, someone approached and shouted, "What are you two doing?"

After saying that, he reached out his hand to pat Chen Huan on the shoulder.
