I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

After experiencing Zhao Tai's farce, Jiang Chen's nerves were on edge.

Jiangjia Village is no longer the neglected little mountain village it once was.

As its fame grows and its business expands, the number of wolves eyeing this lucrative opportunity will only increase.

Relying solely on Wang Dagou and his twenty-odd security guards wielding batons was ultimately a crude method. It might scare off ordinary thugs, but it wouldn't be enough against someone like Zhao Tai who came prepared.

"System, immediately activate the [Advanced Security System Upgrade Card]."

Designated area: the entire territory of Jiangjia Village.

Jiang Chen lay on his cot, silently reciting to himself.

[Ding! Advanced security system upgrade card successfully used!]

[Generating an upgrade plan for you... Plan generated successfully!]

[The target area is currently undergoing intelligent transformation... It is expected to take 8 hours. During the transformation, all external signals will be blocked, and it will not affect the normal lives of the villagers.]

[Renovation progress: 1%...5%...20%...]

Jiang Chen listened to the progress bar notification in his mind and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

the next day.

As the first rays of dawn shone into Jiangjia Village, all the early-rising villagers keenly sensed something unusual about the village.

"Hey? What's that pole at the village entrance?"

"I don't know, it wasn't here yesterday! It's the same as the one at the entrance of the residential area in the city!"

"There are cameras too! Look at the utility poles! The old one was small, but now it's a big one that can even rotate by itself!"

At the village entrance, a brand-new intelligent gate system has been installed on the once empty road.

The silvery-white railings gleamed with a metallic sheen in the morning light.

There was also a high-definition camera and an LED display screen standing next to it.

All the ordinary surveillance cameras on the utility poles in the village have been replaced with AI smart cameras with spherical pan-tilt units that look very high-tech.

These cameras can rotate 360 ​​degrees without blind spots, like vigilant sentinels, overlooking every corner of the village.

The biggest change, however, was in Wang Dagou and his security team.

"stand at attention!"

"Right dress!"

Look ahead!

In the courtyard of the village committee, Wang Dagou was shouting at the top of his lungs, training his team like a real drill instructor.

The twenty-odd security guards had already taken off their camouflage uniforms.

Instead, they wore crisp black special operations uniforms, high-top combat boots, riot helmets, and carried not ordinary rubber batons, but more intimidating riot forks and riot shields.

Behind them, two brand-new, custom-made six-seat electric patrol SUVs were parked neatly.

The vehicle body is also painted in a cool black, with the words "Jiangjia Village Security Patrol Team" printed in large white letters. Flashing red and blue warning lights are also installed on the roof.

This sight was so impressive that not only the villagers but even Jiang Chen, who had just come out of his office, was immediately impressed.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen, Wang Dagou immediately jogged over and gave him a standard salute.

"Brother Chen! Please give instructions!"

He's completely immersed in the role now.

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction and patted him on the shoulder.

He walked to the front of the group, looked at these young men with their refreshed spirits, and said in a loud voice:

"Brothers!"

"From today onwards, the safety of Jiangjia Village is entirely in your hands!"

"I don't care who comes from outside, whether they're a rich kid driving a Lamborghini or a thug, as long as they dare to cause trouble on our turf!"

"First, ask the guys in your hands if they agree!"

"yes!"

More than twenty people roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens!

Seeing the newly renovated security force, the villagers felt an overwhelming sense of security.

"Wow! This is even more impressive than our county's police station!"

"Let's see who dares to cause trouble in our village again!"

"Following Chenwazi, not only do you make money, but you also gain confidence and resilience!"

Everyone became even more convinced that Jiang Chen was the only true god who could lead them to glory.

……

at the same time.

A black Maybach was speeding along the highway back to the provincial capital.

The atmosphere inside the car was terrifyingly oppressive.

Zhao Tai was soaked to the bone and huddled in a corner, barely daring to breathe.

His father, Zhao Chengzhi, sitting opposite him, had a face so gloomy it could drip water.

"Ring ring..."

Zhao Chengzhi's private phone suddenly rang.

Upon seeing the name on the caller ID, a smile that looked more like a grimace forced onto his gloomy face.

He quickly cleared his throat and answered the phone respectfully.

"Feed? Chairman Su... Oh, hello, hello!"

"Yes, yes, my son is being naughty and has caused you trouble! I'm on my way back now, and I'll definitely break his legs when I get back!"

"Yes, yes, you're right. As for Mr. Jiang in Jiangjia Village... I will definitely go to apologize to him in person! I will! I will!"

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone.

Zhao Chengzhi's face grew paler and paler, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"Understood! Understood! I, Zhao Chengzhi, will never again set foot in Jiangjia Village! I swear!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Chengzhi felt as if all his strength had been drained, and he slumped into his chair.

Looking at his son who was still trembling beside him, a nameless anger suddenly flared up!

He raised his hand and delivered a resounding slap to Zhao Tai's face!

"Snapped!"

"The traitor!"

Zhao Chengzhi was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed at Zhao Tai's nose, cursing loudly.

"I told you to go talk about relationships! I told you to go and win back the Su family's daughter! What the hell have you been doing?!"

……

Jiangjia Village, Village Committee.

Jiang Chen's phone rang at that moment.

It was an unfamiliar provincial capital city number.

He hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

On the other end of the phone came a calm and magnetic middle-aged man's voice, authoritative without being angry.

"Is this Jiang Chen, Mr. Jiang?"

"I am."

"I am Su Qing's father, Su Tianhao."

Jiang Chen's heart stirred slightly.

My future father-in-law has come knocking on my door so soon?

Su Tianhao on the other end of the phone seemed to chuckle softly, his tone carrying a hint of complexity.

"Young man, you're very good."

"I have protected my daughter."

Jiang Chen didn't speak, but listened quietly.

Su Tianhao paused for a moment, then continued:

"You don't need to worry about the Zhao family's situation; I've already taken care of it."

"They won't bother you anymore."

These words sounded like a gesture of goodwill, but Jiang Chen sensed a hint of warning in them.

The implication is that you were able to deal with Zhao Tai because I was helping you behind the scenes.

Jiang Chen smiled and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "Thank you, Chairman Su."

"However, even if you don't take action, Jiangjia Village is not a place that just anyone can come to."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, lasting more than ten seconds.

After a long while, Su Tianhao's laughter, tinged with a hint of appreciation, rang out again.

"Good! You've got guts!"

"My daughter has excellent taste."

"If you ever come to the provincial capital, let's have a drink."

After saying that, Su Tianhao hung up the phone decisively without waiting for Jiang Chen's reply.

Jiang Chen held his phone, the corners of his mouth slowly widening into a smile.

Does this mean that he has initially gained the approval of his wealthy father-in-law?

Just then.

He felt a cool touch on his face.

Jiang Chen raised his head.

Before I knew it, the sky had turned gloomy.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

Glistening snowflakes began to drift gently down from the hazy sky.

At first, it was just a few scattered cases.

Soon, it turned into a flurry of heavy snowflakes.

The last snow of the first month of the lunar calendar arrived quietly without any warning.
