"Er Zhu, what do you need me for?"
Lin Tianhai, lost in thought, was suddenly pulled back to reality by Elder Feng's voice.
Looking at Er Zhu's phone, then at his cousin beside him, Lin Tianhai was utterly panicked!
He had no idea Elder Feng was Er Zhu's sworn father. If he had known, he would never have said such a thing, even if it meant death!
"Nothing much, do you know the Lin Tianhai family?"
Er Zhu smiled slightly, glancing at Lin Tianhai, and spoke slowly.
"Mr. Wang, I beg you, please hang up the phone. It was my fault, I'll never dare to do it again!"
Hearing Er Zhu ask, Lin Tianhai became even more flustered. He rushed to Er Zhu and pleaded desperately.
"Lin Tianhai, is that you? What's going on!"
On the other end of the line, Elder Feng was confused when he suddenly faintly heard Lin Tianhai's voice. He frowned and reprimanded.
"Elder Feng, that... hehe... I..."
Hearing Elder Feng's tone change, Lin Tianhai quickly snatched Er Zhu's phone to explain, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Lin Tianhai wanted to extort Mr. Wang for money, and after being seen through by Mr. Wang, he still tried to threaten Mr. Wang using you!"
Beside him, Lin Jing, full of a sense of justice, snatched the phone and simply explained what had just happened.
"Cousin, are you crazy? I'm your own cousin!"
Hearing the long silence on the other end of the phone, Lin Tianhai's face became even uglier. He snatched the phone back from Lin Jing's hand, trembling with fear.
Elder Feng was the Lin family's pillar of support, but now he had offended Elder Feng's adopted son!
Even someone as foolish as him knew the consequences of telling the truth. How could his clever cousin do such a thing!
"You still dare to blame me? If you hadn't blabbed, would Mr. Wang have called? Elder Feng is such a smart person, do you think he wouldn't know if you stayed silent?"
Lin Jing's face had turned extremely grim. She questioned him furiously. Hearing this, Lin Tianhai was speechless, a hint of regret and panic flashing in his angry eyes.
"Lin Tianhai, go back and tell your father that I, Elder Feng, am cutting ties with him!"
Just then, Elder Feng's voice came from the phone. Elder Feng's tone was light but filled with undeniable authority!
Lin Tianhai and Lin Jing seemed to see Elder Feng's furious expression on the other end of the phone!
"No, Elder Feng, I was wrong, it's all my fault. Please, for my father's sake, spare me this time."
Lin Tianhai's eyes welled up with tears as he knelt on the ground, begging for mercy while kowtowing to Elder Feng. But the only response he received was the sound of a busy signal.
Lin Jing glared at Lin Tianhai with disappointment, then walked towards the police car not far away.
If you break the law, you should be punished by the law. But he had to mention the Feng family, and now look, a descendant of the Feng family is completely ruined!
Lin Jing clenched her fist. If no one was around, she wished she could punch Lin Tianhai to death!
"Take them away!"
Beside them, Captain Li shook his head with a complex expression and gestured to the other police officers.
Lin Tianhai apologized and begged tearfully, but his apologies now seemed so hollow.
Watching the police leave, Er Zhu put away his phone and shrugged helplessly.
Originally, he just wanted to teach Lin Tianhai a lesson, but the guy wouldn't stop, insisting on calling the police. That's why he told the truth.
He thought the matter would end there, but he didn't expect Lin Tianhai to threaten him with Elder Feng.
Now it was all worse, not only did he have to pay with his life, but the Lin family also lost its support. Only an idiot like this would do such a stupid thing!
"Tianhai, don't cause trouble, that..."
As Er Zhu was about to leave, he suddenly heard a panting voice. Er Zhu looked up and saw a man with a bloated belly running towards him, looking dusty.
Er Zhu had heard about this person from Xu Tianze. He was Feng Yuxi, the village head of Lingtian Village, and Lin Tianhai's brother-in-law!
Feng Yuxi stared blankly at the man with extraordinary demeanor not far away, swallowing the words that were about to come out.
He had only heard about this matter just now and rushed over, but he was still too late...
This was a disaster. He had offended such an important figure. What would he do in the future!
"Hehe, I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. It's my fault for not supervising properly. Please don't hold it against a mere farmer like me."
Feng Yuxi took a deep breath, plastered a fawning smile on his face, and held Er Zhu's hand, apologizing profusely in panic.
Lin Tianhai had truly brought ruin upon him! If the mayor found out about this, he would be skinned alive!
The more Feng Yuxi thought about it, the angrier he became. But in front of Er Zhu, he couldn't express his anger.
"Mmm."
Er Zhu merely grunted from his throat and prepared to leave.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Feng Yuxi; he genuinely didn't want to waste his time on such people.
Huh?
Feng Yuxi's hand stopped in mid-air. A hint of panic and shock flashed in his eyes. This was bad, Wang Er Zhu was truly angry!
Thinking this, Feng Yuxi's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.
"Mr. Wang, to express my apology, all the land in our Lingtian Village is free for you to rent. Please, don't be angry with a small commoner like me."
Seeing Er Zhu about to leave, Feng Yuxi grabbed Er Zhu's hand and pointed to the vast expanse of fields, saying.
This was a full few thousand acres of fertile land. Whether rented out or in cooperation, they could earn a large sum of money!
But now, to clean up Lin Tianhai's mess, he could only give it all away for free!
Feng Yuxi felt a pang of heartache. He clutched his chest, as if he could hear the sound of his heart bleeding.
"Ten million, sell it to me!"
Er Zhu ignored Feng Yuxi, looked up at the thousand acres of fertile land, and spoke slowly.
"Ah?"
Feng Yuxi didn't react immediately, his mouth agape in confusion as he looked at Er Zhu.
Ten million for a thousand acres of land?
Selling the land for such a low price would surely cause the villagers to skin him alive!
But if he didn't sell, the consequences would be unbearable for him!
"Okay!" After thinking for a while, Feng Yuxi reluctantly slapped his thigh and said.
Er Zhu didn't say anything, but simply threw him a black card and left.
Feng Yuxi gripped the black card tightly, his eyes filled with anger and regret!
If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have watched Lin Tianhai closely, even at the cost of his life!
But now, it was too late for regrets...
Three days later, a clarification video spread rapidly across major websites, causing the entire capital to erupt!
It turned out that the widely publicized case of Wang Group's traditional Chinese medicine causing death was false!
It was a fabricated conspiracy by someone who wanted to extort money from Wang Group!
Major websites all commented on the matter, and those media outlets that had once criticized Wang Group were so frightened that they went to apologize.
Feng Yuxi was also dismissed for dereliction of duty and was now just an ordinary citizen.
And after this incident, Wang Group's reputation soared, attracting many village leaders with fertile land to seek cooperation!
