Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Running for the Next Village Chief
"Scram!"
Xia Xue suddenly turned around, her cold eyes glaring at Zhou Mazi with such sharpness and iciness that an inexplicable shudder ran through his heart, and he was so frightened that he retreated three steps.
"You fucking slut, how dare you curse me, let’s see how I deal with you."
Zhou Mazi roared and charged toward Xia Xue, raising his fist to smash into her chest.
But Xia Xue was already prepared; the moment Zhou Mazi made his move, she too swung her small fists to meet him in combat, and the two began to brawl.
Despite her petite frame, Xia Xue was very nimble, especially her long legs, which were full of allure, making Zhou Mazi fantasize, wishing he could pin her down in bed and have his way with her several times over.
"Damn it, you bitch, don’t force me to be rough, or I’ll make your life worse than death."
Zhou Mazi said viciously while his right hand, claw-shaped, reached for Xia Xue’s chest; this move was exceedingly malicious and would certainly leave marks if he broke her skin. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Seeing this, Xia Xue hurriedly retreated and dodged Zhou Mazi’s assaults, but he pursued her relentlessly, giving her no chance to catch her breath.
"You whore, I’ll take you down today even if it means getting beaten up, heh heh."
Zhou Mazi laughed lewdly as he lunged at Xia Xue again, while his other hand reached out, aiming for Xia Xue’s waist and buttocks.
"Bastard!"
Xia Xue was furious and gnashed her teeth; she had never seen such a shameless rogue, such a man truly disgusted her.
With a sneer on his face, Zhou Mazi was just about to touch Xia Xue’s chest when she suddenly turned around and kicked out at his groin.
"Ouch."
Zhou Mazi cried out miserably, clutching his crotch and squatting on the ground, in excruciating pain as beads of sweat rolled off his forehead and he emitted low, muffled groans.
"You bitch, I won’t let you off!"
Zhou Mazi cursed as he got up and limped toward Xia Xue.
"Xia, run now, this guy’s nothing but a thug, hide in the city for now."
"Exactly, don’t get yourself into trouble, leave quickly."
Seeing what was happening, several villagers quickly came over to urge Xia Xue to leave; they knew Zhou Mazi’s nature and feared that he could do something terrible if provoked. If the confrontation continued, Xia Xue would certainly be at a disadvantage.
"I won’t leave, I absolutely won’t allow anyone to forcefully take what Wang Hao has worked so hard for." freewēbnoveℓ.com
Xia Xue replied with a determined attitude.
"You damned woman, I’m telling you Wang Hao is dead, why the hell are you still defending for him? Besides, you’re just an employee of his, what right do you have to get involved in his affairs?"
Zhao Youquan was somewhat anxious and roared at Xia Xue.
He didn’t expect Xia Xue to be so stubborn, still guarding Wang Hao’s greenhouse.
"She has every right to!"
No sooner had Zhao Youquan finished speaking than Wang Hao’s voice came from behind him.
Hearing this voice, Zhao Youquan and Zhou Mazi’s bodies shook, and they hurriedly turned around.
They then saw Wang Hao, strolling leisurely from the direction of the back hill.
Seeing Wang Hao, Zhao Youquan and Zhou Mazi were stunned, standing in place unable to speak.
They couldn’t believe Wang Hao was still alive, they rubbed their eyes and looked again.
They had searched several times before without seeing anyone, and the cliff was so high that a fall would be either fatal or crippling, not to mention the pile of rocks from the collapse was so high that even walls of bronze and iron would be crushed.
But the person emerging was indeed Wang Hao, and he had returned unharmed.
How could this be?
"Didn’t you say Wang Hao was dead?"
"Village chief, you lied to us? What exactly is your purpose?"
Seeing Wang Hao walk out from the back hill, the villagers began to question Zhao Youquan and Zhou Mazi and surrounded them.
"This..."
Zhao Youquan was suddenly at a loss for words.
At the time, he really believed that Wang Hao couldn’t possibly survive, which is why he spoke so assuredly, and he never expected Wang Hao to come back unscathed, nor did he know how to explain himself.
It was truly a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet.
"You also said he was eaten by wild beasts? So what is this person, a ghost?"
"And you, Zhou Mazi, the man hasn’t even died, and you’re already trying to take over his greenhouse, truly worse than pigs and dogs."
In an instant, Zhao Youquan and Zhou Mazi became rats crossing the street, everyone spat upon them.
Zhou Mazi, out of fear and not knowing what to say, simply turned tail and ran.
Just now, Zhou Mazi was still thinking of taking advantage of Xia Xue, he knew Wang Hao’s temperament, and was certain that if he didn’t run, he would get beaten up again.
Zhou Mazi ran quickly and managed to escape, but the village chief was not so lucky as to get away that easily, the villagers wouldn’t let him off the hook.
"Village Chief, didn’t you say you had searched everywhere? How could you not find such a big living person, what are you all eating?"
"Yeah, you even stopped us from searching. I think you don’t want Wang Hao to come back, do you? Are you still fit to be the village chief?"
Zhao Youquan was already forced into a sweat, the villagers had no intention of letting him off.
Now that Wang Hao had returned, they had someone to rely on and were no longer afraid of him as the village chief.
Over the years, most villagers had been oppressed by Zhao Youquan and had been too afraid to speak out. It wasn’t easy for someone like Wang Hao to come along and dare to oppose him, he even often came over to stir up trouble.
Now that they had this opportunity, they were ready to release all the resentment in their hearts.
"You..."
"What ’you’? Today, if you don’t give everyone an explanation, don’t think about leaving."
Zhao Youquan was about to say something but was shut down by the villagers.
And Zhao Youquan, knowing he was in the wrong and being alone, didn’t dare to confront them head-on.
At that moment, Wang Hao walked into the crowd, and the villagers consciously made way for him.
"Village Chief, I heard you were eyeing my greenhouse?"
Wang Hao said bluntly, with a sharp look in his eye that made Zhao Youquan shiver all over.
"I... I thought you were dead..."
"Even if I were dead, the greenhouse wouldn’t be yours to deal with!"
Wang Hao interrupted Zhao Youquan’s words, shouting at him.
"Xia Xue is the technician I hired, she’s also a stakeholder in the greenhouse. Even if I weren’t dead, she would have the right to manage it."
"But..."
"Today, while everyone is here, I want to make it clear, in case I’m not around, all matters concerning the greenhouse will be under Xia Xue’s control, understand?"
Before Zhao Youquan could finish, Wang Hao spoke first.
"Understood!"
As soon as Wang Hao finished speaking, the villagers immediately responded, their voices loud and strong, almost audible to the whole village.
"Village Chief, do you understand as well?"
Wang Hao asked Zhao Youquan with a threatening tone.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youquan felt oppressed by Wang Hao and became somewhat displeased.
"Wang Hao, do you still acknowledge me as the village chief, treating me with such disrespect, daring to speak to the village chief like this. I’m laying it out here today, as long as you’re still in Chen Village, you’re under my jurisdiction, so you better start behaving!"
Zhao Youquan said in a threatening manner.
Hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Wang Hao’s lips.
"Village Chief, is this you wielding your official power? Are you sure that you will be re-elected next term? Since the Village Chief’s power is so great, I might as well run for election. I wonder if everyone would vote for me?"
After Wang Hao finished speaking, he glanced meaningfully at the villagers present...
