Chapter 377 - 377 Disintegration
377 Disintegration
“Mr. Zhou, we’ve wronged you!”
“Mr. Zhou, you’re so far-sighted, we were too foolish!” Some people immediately spoke up. They had no choice. What Qinghe Village did was really infuriating!
“Alright, I just hope that everyone can make a living. There’s no need to apologize to me. My wish is for everyone to progress together!” Zhou Hao looked at the crowd and said sincerely.
“Everyone, don’t think about taking revenge on Qinghe Village. Wen An is a man with means. He should have already called the police by now. Don’t think about using force to resolve the conflict. From now on, we will work together and help one another. We will definitely surpass Qinghe Village,” Zhou Hao continued.
“Mr. Zhou is such a good person.”
“Compared to those heartless animals in Qinghe Village, Mr. Zhou is a saint!”
Zhou Hao didn’t say anything.
He just quietly watched everyone speak. He knew that he had achieved his goal in the initial stage.
While building a good image, he had simultaneously integrated most of the villages in Sanhua Town and vaguely formed a large group.
No matter how powerful Qinghe Village was and how capable Wen An was, they could not fight against nearly ten villages at the same time!
However, what Zhou Hao did was far more than that.
He wanted to destroy Chu Ning’s foundation!
At the same time, the two groups of people fighting on the riverbank had no choice but to end the farce with the intervention of the police.
In the evening, after taking their statements, these people who had participated in the trouble-making were only given a verbal warning and released.
Wen An’s mouth was almost dry from all the talking. If he had not mediated, the day’s matter would not have ended like this.
However, the chief of Houtu Village did not appear at all.
Wen An knew that, of course, it was not like what the Houtu village’s residents had said, that Zhao Gang was ill.
Zhao Gang was very nice, but he didn’t want to have any contact with him.
On the other side, Chu Ning had finished school.
Yu Yan had been very obedient that day, and so had Ye Ting.
These two people should have been Chu Ning’s biggest headache in the class, but they were unusually quiet that day. Yu Yan was like a student who had been in the class for a long time. She had no problems communicating with other students.
She even took the initiative to chat with Xu Xi before school ended in the afternoon. Although Chu Ning couldn’t hear their conversation, she could tell from Xu Xi’s expression that he didn’t like Yu Yan taking the initiative to talk to him.
After school, Chu Ning took a taxi to Qinghe Village.
She had no idea what had happened in Qinghe Village after a whole day of lessons.
Wen An knew that Chu Ning went to school during the day, so he didn’t inform her about this.
“Village Chief Wen, what happened to your face?” The moment Chu Ning entered Qinghe Village, she felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. When she arrived at Wen An’s office, she saw an obvious bruise on Wen An’s face.
When Wen An tried to stop the fight, he was beaten up by the people of the Houtu village. A few buttons of his shirt had been torn apart and his body was covered in wounds…
After all, it could be explained as an accidental injury. The people of Houtu Village were very confident in their actions.
After all, their village chief had instructed them in advance to create this conflict.
“I’m fine, but something might have happened to Qinghe Village.” Out of habit, Wen An adjusted his glasses.
However, his glasses had been broken, so he could only smile awkwardly and put his hand down.
“Village Chief Wen, go on. I’m listening,” Chu Ning said calmly.
Wen An’s range of activity was usually within the vicinity of Qinghe Village, but he had been beaten up.
“It’s like this. You know the geographical location of our Qinghe Village. The advantage is that the terrain is flat and open, and the soil is fertile. The disadvantage is that it’s located downstream, and there are many villages upstream. This morning, the people of Houtu Village suddenly changed the river course, diverting the river that was supposed to flow to Qinghe Village,” Wen An sighed as he spoke.
Wen An didn’t mention anything about the fight that happened later. It was meaningless.
“Someone behind the scenes made this happen,” Chu Ning said, nodding lightly.
“Surnamed Zhou,” Wen An said softly.
“This person’s means are very powerful, and this is also what I don’t understand. How did such a strong person suddenly appear? I clearly stopped the dispute, but there was still a conflict. Fighting was not the goal, but it is indeed the best excuse to provoke opposition and hatred. Also, I suspect he has already convinced the villages other than Houtu Village. I’m very worried,” Wen An said with a frown.
