was astounded. He looked around in amazement, like a country bumpkin seeing a city for the first time, completely overwhelmed by everything he saw. This made Zhou Qi shake his head in exasperation.Fro...Then everyone realized that the leader had secretly slipped away at some point. Immediately, they scattered like frightened birds, each one running faster than the last.

Wang Lin flashed forward to stop them, pointing at the person on the ground. "Take them away."

Everyone nodded hastily, each carrying one and quickly disappearing.

They are too scared to attack themselves anymore. If Wang Lin keeps beating them, it would be considered excessive self-defense. If the police get involved, it would be very troublesome.

He turned and picked up his phone, putting it in his pocket, then went back to his room to continue making the bed.

On the other side, at the village head's house, that leader was talking to a middle-aged man. The village head's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and anger filled his heart.

These trash cans took people's money and couldn't even handle a young person, now they want to run away without refunding.

After the village head and the village director finished speaking, they didn't say another word. They turned around and left without giving the village director any face. This time, he really lost out. He estimated that the money he received wasn't even enough to cover the medical expenses.

As for reporting the police, he didn't even consider it. They were a black-market gang to begin with, too busy evading the police to do anything else. Besides, Wang Lin recorded every incident before taking action, proving that his people always initiated the violence.

He left in such a hurry because he was afraid Wang Lin would call the police, and they would catch him all at once.

The village chief watched the headman leave, gritting his teeth in anger, but he dared not provoke him too much. He was unlike Wang Lin, who could easily deal with them.

He slammed his fist on the table and let out a deep sigh, "Ugh! Force doesn't work, I guess I have to try being softer! Just hope you don't take advantage!"

When Wang Lin had finished tidying the room and was lying in bed playing on his phone, someone knocked on the door, causing his anger to flare up.

"Will this ever end, are you going to get all of you hospitalized!"

He cursed and cursed as he opened the door, looking at the person in front of him. He was stunned. "Director What are you doing here!"

Wang Lin didn't expect that just after he scared his dog away, the dog's owner arrived. And indeed, it was the dog's master!

The village chief seemed not to notice Wang Lin's displeasure, and continued to look at him with a smile.

"Xiaolin When are you coming back You didn't even tell us. You're the pride of our village, you know!"

If Wang Lin hadn't already known, he would have been fooled by the village chief's acting. He'd make a great actor if he wasn't the mastermind behind all this.

"When will I be back, Director Don't you know You have eyes and ears everywhere in the village!"

Wang Lin sneered, not giving the director any face at all. The moment he saw his parents, he decided to stop enduring it, as they had already torn up their relationship.

"Hmph, Xiao Lin, why are you so angry It's all my fault. I was busy these past few days and only found out today that the mafia wanted to take your family's land. As soon as I got home, I came over."

He craned his neck to look into the yard, "Where are your parents How are they Are they alright This is a specialty I brought back from out of town, I got some for you guys, try it!"

The headmaster lifted the gift in his hand and handed it to Wang Lin, who kept looking at the village head with sarcasm, showing no intention of accepting the gift.

"This old geezer is such a good actor, he's got thick skin," he thought to himself. Someone who didn't know what was going on might think Wang Lin was out of line.

"My parents are resting, so please don't trouble the director. You should enjoy these specialties yourself! We wouldn't deserve them."

After slamming the door shut, he hadn't even reached his room when a knock sounded again. Wang Lin angrily turned and opened the door, looking at the village director who still had a smile on his face. Wang Lin was somewhat impressed by him despite his anger.

"What is your purpose Don't waste my time, just tell me!"

"Well, well, Xiao Lin. What do you think of me I'm really concerned about your parents!"

"Well, if you're not going to say anything, just don't. Go ahead and knock."

Seeing Wang Lin's impatience, the village chief hurriedly grabbed him. "I'll say, I'll say."

"It's actually very simple. I just want your land, and I can buy it! We're paying 2,000 yuan per mu for the land here, how about I give you 10,000 yuan"

“Director, the state has regulations that farmland is prohibited from being bought or sold!”

“I know, I wasn’t accurate in what I said. I want to take over your family’s land!”

"No, I'm telling you, Director! There's so much land in the village, why did you have to pick on my family's land! My parents are still relying on that piece of land to live!"

"You don't need to worry about this, I have my own use for it. Just give me the land, and I promise your parents will live comfortably. I guarantee they won't go hungry and their lives will be much better than they are now!"

"This... let me ask my parents when they wake up!"

Wang Lin felt a little helpless. He wasn't afraid of others being tough, but he was afraid of them being like sticky toffee, relentlessly harassing him.

He doesn't know any officials either. If he doesn't thoroughly get rid of this village chief, he'll probably keep dragging things on like today, insisting and pressuring endlessly.

Even though he is nothing special, he's still the village boss. His parents live here and rely on the village chief.

For his parents' sake, he could only force down his anger and casually ask.

"Okay, you can keep this gift. I'm going back now, wait for my message!"

The village head heard Wang Lin's words, his face filled with surprise. He spoke in a flurry, finished speaking, put down the gift, and turned to leave.

Wang Lin sighed helplessly, picked up the gift, and returned to his room.

Looking at his still-sleeping parents, Wang Lin felt a headache coming on. This matter was not easy to resolve, and they would definitely find it hard to stay in the village afterward.

He cooked some food, ate a bit himself, and kept his parents' portions warm in the pot.

For the whole afternoon, they didn't wake up. Wang Lin looked at them, filled with heartache.

They seem to have reached their physical and mental limits lately. The daily helplessness and despair have worn them down, so under this sudden relaxation, they are probably going to sleep until tomorrow.

After dinner, Wang Lin lay in bed, reminiscing about the events of the day. He was also very curious why the village head had taken such an interest in his family's land. It seemed like something he absolutely had to have.

"Could there be something good buried down there"

He sat up, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. When he asked the village chief during the day, the other party was also evasive. If there wasn't something good, he shouldn't have acted like this.

Wang Lin walked to his parents' room and saw that they were still asleep. He tiptoed on, putting on his clothes, ready to go check the field.

Coming to the field, Wang Lin's heart ached at the sight of the ravaged wheat fields. Calculating the time, he knew that harvest would be in another month. This incident had completely ruined his parents' six months of hard work.

Walking along, he constantly looked left and right at things, but the surroundings remained peaceful all the time. Only the chirping of crickets intertwined continuously.

Half an hour later, he sat helplessly on the ground, everything was normal. Could it be underground again

"Lao Er! Lao Er!"

Here it comes, here it comes! I'm going now! a stone had been lodged in his heart. Angrily, he slammed his phone to the ground and roared, wanting to vent all his frustration.He began to have some doubts about whether what he was doing was righ...
