Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Liao Lei Reveals Himself

A scoundrel is a scoundrel, he says whatever he wants.

He twists the truth, and even if someone wanted to help Old Li, there was nothing they could do. Whenever they speak up, he just argues with them using the land deed.

Chi Youyou sneered, this is truly something only a scoundrel would do.

There’s no need to doubt Old Li’s words; she knows that the land deed must have been stolen back by him!

But why has he never caused trouble before and started only recently?

A thought immediately came to her mind.

Just then, a car suddenly stopped at the entrance of the village, and a pot-bellied man got out.

Liao Lei?

Although she had never seen him in person, Song Shiyu had shown her all his information a few days ago.

On the surface, he’s a coal mine boss, but in fact, he has other identities. Wherever there’s treasure, that’s where he goes, dealing in exactly this kind of business.

No wonder he came without hesitation when he heard about precious metals!

Each time he starts a project, he uses the coal mining company as a cover.

“What’s going on here?”

Liao Lei was very fat, resting one hand on his protruding belly, looking like a four or five-month pregnant woman. His eyes were almost invisible, squeezed by the fat on his face, and when he smiled, they turned into slits, making it even harder to see.

The villagers, seeing him, showed expressions of anger on their faces.

“Old Gou, what’s the matter with you? How can you argue with your village’s uncle?”

Liao Lei didn’t hide his relationship with Gou Dan and even scolded him.

Gou Dan didn’t get angry, “Mr. Liao, look at this mess, it’s autumn harvest season, and I thought I’d come back to do some farming, but he keeps saying this land is his! The land deed is in my hand, it’s clearly my family’s land!”

“This is too shameless; Old Li has been farming here all along, and he says he’s here to harvest? Isn’t he just taking what Old Li planted!”

“Isn’t that grabbing what’s already there!”

“Old Li worked hard for half a year, just for this, and it ended up being his!”

…

Seeing Liao Lei, the villagers’ first reaction was that they couldn’t lose their nerve, and those who didn’t want to muddy the waters earlier started speaking up.

They must not show timidity in front of this outsider, especially one who wants to take over their village!

“You’re young, why argue with an old man? Be generous and give the land to him, it’s no big deal!”

Everyone originally thought Liao Lei would seize the chance to buy the land from Gou Dan, but instead, they played good cop-bad cop.

This left Old Li in an awkward and unfavorable position!

At this moment, the village head, Old Hai, also arrived, accompanied by Jiang An.

So dark!

Chi Youyou’s first reaction upon seeing Jiang An was, if he were thrown into a coal mine, he wouldn’t be found!

She stayed hidden in the crowd, watching the drama unfold, without anyone noticing her.

Jiang An heard there was trouble and came with the village head, appearing ready to stand up against anyone causing it.

“Why are you here again? Haven’t I made myself clear that there’s no room for negotiation!”

The village head was furious upon seeing Liao Lei.

“Village head, you’re being too distant. I happen to be passing by, saw the commotion, and came to look. I haven’t been here since you said you weren’t selling!”

“You! You didn’t come, but you sent your lackeys!”

“Lackeys? Village head, is there some misunderstanding here? I really didn’t send anyone!”

Liao Lei smiled, pretending to be completely unaware of the situation.

His skin was really thick.

“Village head, who is this?”

His gaze fell on Jiang An. In the past few days of investigation, except for discovering a pretty girl named Chi Youyou who returned from university, he couldn’t find any information on the other two people!

A pretty college girl wasn’t really on his radar; her parents were farmers, nothing noteworthy.

But the two men who returned with her left him puzzled.

So today, he decided to put on a show and personally came to gather information.

At the scene, he only saw one of them.

“Hmph, Mr. Liao, this is a guest of the village. I don’t think you have any connection, and you’re a busy man, our small village can’t accommodate you.”

The village head’s face was long, directly telling him to leave, but Liao Lei, thick-skinned, acted like he hadn’t heard.

“Guests are welcome. Hello, I’m Liao Lei; here’s my business card.”

He even handed a business card to Jiang An.

Jiang An didn’t even glance at him, “Uncle Li, what’s the situation here? What’s this man doing?”

He bypassed Liao Lei and went to Old Li’s side. Actually, on the way, the village head had already briefed him, but he intentionally pretended not to know.

Old Li sighed deeply, seemingly resigned to his fate.

“Old Gou, I say, how can you bully an old man like this!”

Chi Youyou had now witnessed Liao Lei’s thick skin, thicker than a city wall!

“Mr. Liao, I’m just telling the truth, this old man keeps trying to scam me!”

“What nonsense are you talking about! We’re all neighbors, what’s wrong with an old man borrowing your land to plant something? You won’t farm it, and if no one does, it’ll turn into wasteland, and you’ll be the one losing out!”

Ha, he does understand.

Chi Youyou raised an eyebrow; he wasn’t wrong. All these years, if not for Grandpa Li’s care, this land would have gone barren!

“Mr. Liao, you’re absolutely right!”

Bootlicker!

“What’s going on? Is he actually speaking for Old Li?”

“Can he really help someone?”

…

Many people in the crowd were puzzled, unable to figure it out.

At this time, Chi Youyou shouted disdainfully, “Saying that still puts a cap on Grandpa Li for occupying someone else’s land? This land was bought by Grandpa Li with hard-earned money!”

“Exactly! What do you mean by borrowing his land to plant something?”

“It’s clearly him being shameless! We were all there when they sold the land!”

“Exactly, the village head even testified!”

…

This shout brought everyone back to their senses. No wonder they felt something was off, the issue was right here!

The two of them were singing in harmony to confuse people!

“What does a little girl like you know! The land deed is in my hand! This is my family’s land! Are you teaming up to bully me?”

Gou Dan snorted, “What? Because my parents are dead and no one looks after me, you want to team up and take our family’s land? Aren’t you afraid my parents will come knocking at your door at midnight!”

“You! What nonsense are you spouting!”

“Why are you so unlucky to say such things!”

“Your parents were angered to death by you!”

…

People can be shameless like this, saying whatever they want without any taboo.

This second-rate person was notorious in the village, heedless of what others said, still possessing an air of utter fearlessness.

He held the land deed as leverage, as if to say that whatever he declared was true.

Just when he thought they had no way to deal with him, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, “The police are here!”
