They had only thought Er Zhu was a businessman, never expecting him to be so skilled!
Truly, excellence shone through no matter where one was…
"You wait and see, the Tang family's fortune will surely be mine!"
Just then, Zhao Qingming's roar echoed from afar. Before anyone could speak, Zhao Qingming had already fled in a sorry state. As for the Zhao family bodyguards, they had long since vanished without a trace.
"Er Zhu, I want to leave Willow Town tonight. I can't stand to stay here for another moment!"
Looking at the mess in the room, Old Tang frowned and impatiently urged.
Willow Town, the place he had strived his entire life, had now become the place he most wished to escape!
It wasn't that he feared the Zhao family's retaliation, but rather he was weary of such deceit and treachery. He was determined to leave!
"Old Tang, why trouble Mr. Wang with this? I can make the arrangements."
Just as Er Zhu was about to agree, Liu Zhi spoke up first. Before Old Tang could react, he had already summoned his own bodyguards.
"Arrange a car to take Old Tang away. You must ensure Old Tang's safety, or I'll have your heads!"
Liu Zhi pointed at the luxury car outside the house, his face stern as he gave orders. The bodyguards nodded repeatedly and helped Old Tang walk out.
"Mr. Wang, my Liu family is willing to submit to you. We beg you to take us in."
As soon as Old Tang left, Liu Zhi turned back and bowed to Er Zhu, his attitude as humble as could be.
"Mm, find Elder Lin. Tell him you were sent by me."
Er Zhu nodded slightly, without even looking at Liu Zhi, and directed him to Elder Lin.
Elder Lin was the head of the most prominent family in the neighboring city. With Er Zhu's help, his business had developed even further, and Elder Lin's assets now surpassed Er Zhu's, making him the richest man in the neighboring city!
"Ah, alright, I shall take my leave." Liu Zhi was taken aback. Though displeased, seeing Er Zhu's indifference, he could only retreat.
He hadn't expected Wang Er Zhu to have a connection with Elder Lin. It seemed he had chosen the right powerful figure to latch onto!
Liu Zhi's eyes gleamed, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He eagerly got into the car and sped towards Elder Lin's residence.
A few days later, two explosive news items shook the entire Willow Town:
The Tang family was completely wiped out, and Old Tang had vanished!
The Wang family of Willow Town rose rapidly, becoming the most powerful family in Willow Town within days!
Before this, no one had ever heard of the Wang family. This clan seemed to have descended upon Willow Town out of nowhere!
Er Zhu sold his house in the village and moved into the Tang family villa. Thus, the Tang family of Willow Town completely disappeared!
"Er Zhu, now that you've moved to the city, what about the villagers?"
In the spacious living room, Uncle Liu held his teacup and suddenly seemed to recall something, asking with concern.
As Er Zhu's business grew, Uncle Liu felt happy but also worried. While he couldn't keep this 'dragon' here, he still had to strive for more benefits for the villagers.
"The villagers can continue their old livelihoods. Oh, and I'm planning an ecological tourism project. Idle villagers can also work at the park."
Er Zhu took a sip of tea and replied. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something else and shared more good news.
Although Tang Jing's actions were despicable, her ideas were good. The development of Shiliu Village's resources had reached its limit. Only by developing tourism projects could they continue to increase the villagers' income.
"Mm, that idea is indeed good. Our village is picturesque and has traditional Chinese medicinal herb and fruit plantations. And now, every household has many empty rooms, which can be used as homestays."
Uncle Liu was taken aback, then seemed to recall something and nodded with satisfaction.
Er Zhu nodded slightly and chatted with Uncle Liu in detail until late at night before Uncle Liu left.
The next day, after dinner, Er Zhu arrived at Pear Blossom Village in Guangyuan County. Old Man Sun had called to say that the medicinal herbs they planted had fallen ill!
"Benefactor, you said they wouldn't get sick. Look at this…"
Old Man Sun frowned, looking at the large patch of yellowed and withered herbs, feeling both angry and anxious.
If it were anyone else, Old Man Sun would have already organized the villagers to teach him a lesson. But Er Zhu was their benefactor, so they could only endure it for now.
However, if he couldn't give them a satisfactory explanation, then they wouldn't be polite!
"Exactly, we trusted you so much, and you turn out to be a swindler!"
"Rich man of Willow Town? More like a swindler of Willow Town!"
"The reason you haven't been arrested is because you have good relations with the police?"
…
Old Man Sun could suppress his anger, but the other villagers couldn't. They taunted him from all sides, with some even shouting about reporting him!
"Someone didn't fertilize, which is why the herbs got sick!"
Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, Er Zhu scanned the villagers present, his expression very serious.
No fertilizer, no watering, just letting the herbs grow freely. It was no wonder they got sick. There had to be a reason for this!
"Impossible, I supervise Er Lengzi's work every day, so it's impossible no one fertilized!"
"Right, you're the one who's a liar, and you're blaming us. Wang Er Zhu, I think you're asking for a beating!"
"I strongly suspect this is a setup by the Willow Town police department and this swindler. This kid is not our benefactor at all, he's a swindler!"
…
These words caused a huge uproar, and the villagers' curses grew louder, making the atmosphere even more volatile!
Especially the Pear Blossom Village villagers who had just mocked and cursed Er Zhu. They exchanged glances, their faces showing smug smiles!
"The fertilizer Er Lengzi used was not my special fertilizer. He was bribed by Liu Jinqiang to make you drive me away!"
Facing such chaos, Er Zhu remained calm. He spoke as he brought over Er Lengzi and the bag of fertilizer he had placed under the tree.
"Damn it, you're still making excuses. I'll fight you!"
"Shameless swindler, I'll beat you to death!"
…
Hearing Er Zhu's words, the villagers became even more agitated. They picked up stones from the ground and were about to throw them at Er Zhu, but when they saw the fertilizer bag lying on the ground, everyone froze!
The bag indeed contained soil instead of special fertilizer!
Instantly, everyone glared at Er Lengzi with fury. The burly Er Lengzi's face was covered in cold sweat, his eyes filled with panic!
The plan was almost successful, but Er Zhu discovered it!
Moreover, Er Zhu had only arrived this morning. He was able to uncover the truth so quickly; his abilities were truly immense!
"Er Lengzi, what is going on?" Old Man Sun pointed at the soil on the ground and questioned angrily.
"He… he's lying! He switched the fertilizer, he's trying to shirk responsibility!"
Er Lengzi's eyes darted around. Suddenly, a good idea flashed through his mind!
