Chapter 378 - 378 Incident
378 Incident
“You’re must be worried that these villages have already reached an agreement and joined forces.” When Chu Ning heard the word ‘Zhou’ from Wen An, she immediately knew who was behind this.
The helper Cheng Yi had hired from her maiden family had begun to take action.
“I don’t understand. Why are they doing this? Wouldn’t the development of Qinghe Village benefit them? Why are these people stopping us?” Wen An said with a bitter smile.
“Village Chief Wen, you’re always underestimating the ugliness of human nature. You may be kind and upright, but that doesn’t mean others have the same way of thinking as you do. Perhaps they have already prepared other methods to deal with Qinghe Village.” Chu Ning smiled.
“Regarding this matter, I would like to apologize to Village Chief Wen. This incident occurred because of me, and that guy surnamed Zhou came for me. His purpose is to destroy me,” Chu Ning apologized sincerely as she looked at Wen An.
Chu Ning felt a little guilty, especially when she saw the bruises on Wen An’s face.
She had underestimated her enemy.
Or rather, she had not expected Zhou Hao to be so despicable and unscrupulous.
“Don’t worry, we’re partners. Since he’s using Qinghe Village to target you, it means that Qinghe Village is very important to President Chu,” Wen An turned it around to console Chu Ning.
“Village Chief Wen, don’t worry, I am aware of this matter. I will settle this problem later on. However, you can’t let your guard down during this period of time. You must be vigilant at all times. This kind of lunatic can do anything,” Chu Ning said solemnly.
“I’ll be careful.” Wen An nodded.
“Did Qinghe Village suffer any losses?” Chu Ning asked, still feeling uneasy.
“There aren’t any losses, but the cost of water will increase. It’s not very convenient, but we can still maintain it in the short term,” Wen An replied.
“Alright, Village Chief Wen. I’ll head back first. In future, if anything happens, let me know immediately. If you’d mentioned it in the morning, I’d have come over immediately to handle it.” Chu Ning felt that if she had come in the morning, she would have followed the clues and caught Zhou Hao!
After leaving Qinghe Village, Chu Ning’s expression turned serious.
She took out her phone and made three calls.
“Sun Ru, contact Village Chief Wen and ask about the number of Qinghe villagers who participated in the fight today. After confirming it, give each person 2,000 yuan in cash. Also, pay close attention to the recent production volume of Qinghe Village’s agricultural products. I need a detailed number!”
“Bai Hong, from now on, you’ll be living in Qinghe Village. Whoever dares to come to Qinghe village to create trouble or mess things up, I want you to beat them up without killing them! Remember, do it neatly!”
“Huang Fang, you’re from Xizhuang Village. Go to Xizhuang Village and the surrounding villages to get a clear picture of the situation. Find out what they’re up to recently, including what had happened. When you get back, put together a report for me; the more detailed, the better!”
On the way to Soaring Clouds Group, Chu Ning sat in the taxi and gazed out the window at the passing scenery, deep in thought.
“Driver, hurry up, I’m in a hurry,” Chu Ning said softly.
Just then, Chu Ning’s phone rang again.
Chu Ning took out her phone. The screen showed that it was a call from Zhang Bo.
“Zhang Bo, is your health better?” Chu Ning asked with concern.
“President Chu, something has happened at Soaring Clouds Group’s construction site…” Zhang Bo said from the other end of the phone.
A few minutes later, Chu Ning hung up the phone.
However, her gaze had already turned icy.
“Zhou Hao, you’re good,” Chu Ning muttered to herself.
The Soaring Clouds Group’s construction work had stopped.
A passerby accidentally stepped on a steel nail on the first floor of the construction site and injured his foot.
At the same time, someone had made a report about the Soaring Clouds Group having hidden safety problems at the construction site.
When Chu Ning arrived at the Soaring Clouds Group, she saw the chief contractor talking on the phone with an anxious expression.
Other than him, only another technician from the construction team was still there. The rest had gone home.
The work should have ended at this time, but due to an accident at the construction site, the contractor and technician had to come.
The injured passerby was not alone.
His friends and family, as well as onlookers, surrounded the contractor and technician, as if they were asking for an explanation.
“Driver, stop the car,” Chu Ning looked at the bustling scene outside the window and said calmly.
“Tsk, tsk, there’s something interesting to see again. It’s a pity that I have to make a living. Otherwise, I would also go and have a look.” The driver had obviously noticed the scene at the entrance of the Soaring Clouds Group’s building, and spoke somewhat regretfully.
