Lin Xiao Tian's expression was calm as he looked at the two tense individuals before him.
He didn't know if Zhang Debiao was telling the truth, but their identities were too sensitive.
Lin Xiao Tian dared not fully believe them, yet he couldn't rule out the possibility that they were lying.
To Lin Xiao Tian, as long as the two could be used against Cao Yuntian, he wouldn't lose out. Even if they were trying to deceive him, Lin Xiao Tian would simply be more cautious and refrain from sharing important matters with them.
With this thought, Lin Xiao Tian replied calmly:
"How about this? I can't judge whether you're telling the truth or not."
"If you are telling the truth, then we are in agreement about dealing with Cao Yuntian."
"If you have any news later, you can inform me at any time, and I will fully cooperate with you."
"By the way, you mentioned earlier that you have evidence against Cao Yuntian. Can you give me that?"
"Mr. Lin, we can give you that evidence. However, we won't hand it over until you are confident you can completely resolve Cao Yuntian," Zhang Debiao said.
"Then can I see it?" Lin Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes.
Zhang Debiao hesitated for a moment, and finally, with Zhou Ping's agreement, he chose to show it to Lin Xiao Tian.
Soon, a video appeared before Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian glanced at the video. It showed Cao Yuntian bullying a woman, and remarkably, this incident had happened not long ago.
Watching the woman's desperate cries in the video, Lin Xiao Tian felt a surge of anger.
Due to organ transplants, Cao Yuntian suffered severe impotence, making him extremely perverted in his torment of women. Lin Xiao Tian couldn't bear to watch for more than a moment.
There were many more similar videos...
"If you release this, you can completely send Cao Yuntian to jail. Why don't you do that?" Lin Xiao Tian asked.
"Mr. Lin, I have a family too. We can't just think about ourselves," Zhang Debiao said, looking meaningfully at Lin Xiao Tian.
When he saw the gloomy expression on Lin Xiao Tian's face, he knew he could relax.
"However, if Mr. Lin can completely suppress Cao Yuntian's influence, then this evidence can naturally be made public."
...
It was already noon when they left Sihai Town.
Lin Xiao Tian returned to the entrance of the road leading to Jinsha Village and found the workers working normally.
Guan Kun immediately saw Lin Xiao Tian and rushed to greet him enthusiastically.
"How long does it usually take to finish this road?"
"Mr. Lin, if materials and manpower are sufficient, it can be completed in about half a year."
Lin Xiao Tian nodded.
Half a year was considered fast given Jinsha Village's geographical conditions.
"Are there any difficulties at present?" Lin Xiao Tian asked.
"There are no problems with materials. The main issue is a lack of manpower. There are too few people willing to work on the construction site now. Otherwise, the construction period could be shortened by more than a month."
"Manpower?" Lin Xiao Tian pondered.
This was indeed a difficult problem.
After all, the general quality of citizens had improved, and young people preferred to work nine-to-nine-six shifts rather than do manual labor on construction sites. Finding people was indeed difficult.
However, soon, Lin Xiao Tian thought of something.
Didn't his own village have these laborers?
"How many more people do you need here?"
Hearing Lin Xiao Tian's words, Guan Kun was somewhat curious.
Could it be that Lin Xiao Tian could find manpower?
While wondering, Guan Kun still reported a number.
"No problem, I guarantee I'll have these people ready for you by tomorrow morning."
"Thank you so much," Guan Kun said enthusiastically.
He had lost quite a few workers previously due to a few troublemakers, and now he was in urgent need of manpower.
After bidding farewell to Guan Kun, Lin Xiao Tian returned to Jinsha Village.
When he returned to his own house, it was already a different sight.
The once dilapidated tiled house had completely transformed!
Liang Xu had reinforced the original structure, then the roof was completely redone with cement, the floor of the room was tiled with white ceramic tiles, and the walls were repainted.
Lin Xiao Tian was amazed by the nascent form of the house.
"Xiao Tian, next, we just need to wait for the cement to dry and then arrange the furniture, and it will be basically complete," Liang Xu said, clapping his hands with pride.
It was the first time Lin Xiao Tian had seen Liang Xu so happy.
"Uncle Xu, thank you for your hard work."
"Why say that? It's just a small effort."
The surrounding villagers also began to congratulate Lin Xiao Tian as soon as they saw him return.
"Thank you, everyone."
"By the way, I'm collaborating with a company in the city to build a road for our village. However, we are short-handed at the moment. If any of you are willing to go, you can contact me."
"What? Building a road? Xiao Tian, are you serious?"
Those who heard Lin Xiao Tian say this initially thought they had misheard.
"Of course it's true. Would I lie to you?" Lin Xiao Tian looked at everyone.
"I can prove it! When I went out this morning, I indeed saw a group of people pouring cement at the entrance. They must be building the road."
"I can also prove it. I saw it too."
Hearing someone confirm it, the villagers immediately became restless.
They had dreamed of having a road for so long, and they never expected it to come true so soon.
"Go! Of course, I'll go! I'll help even if I don't get paid," an uncle said excitedly.
"Uncle Ge, we are hiring workers, so of course, we will pay. I wouldn't feel right asking you to go if I wasn't paying you," Lin Xiao Tian replied.
"Xiao Tian, are you paying for this road construction?"
Lin Xiao Tian nodded.
The crowd was surprised to see this.
"Xiao Tian, road construction must cost a lot of money, right? At least two to three hundred thousand?" an aunt asked curiously.
"Two to three hundred thousand is not enough! It's at least seven to eight hundred thousand!"
Lin Xiao Tian watched as the crowd chattered, knowing they were too excited.
Although they had all underestimated the cost, Lin Xiao Tian didn't want to expose them.
"If anyone wants to work on the road, you can sign up with me, and I'll send the list to the other party," Lin Xiao Tian said to everyone.
As soon as he finished speaking, several villagers crowded around, eagerly signing up with Lin Xiao Tian.
"Hey, hey! Let me handle this!"
Seeing several people approaching, Li Er Guai hurried over.
Lin Xiao Tian wanted to handle it himself, but Li Er Guai insisted, and Lin Xiao Tian had no choice.
In the afternoon, Lin Xiao Tian submitted the list to Guan Kun and then asked him to coordinate with Li Er Guai, while he himself busied himself researching the beauty cream.
He had gathered all the necessary materials, and it was time to start refining the beauty cream...
