Chapter 232

The village head was a man in his fifties. Hearing her words, he took out the cigarette he was smoking

and gently tapped it. With a serene expression on his face, he said, "No need to rush these things! We

need a slow and careful approach to deal with these matters." Xenia Xu’s mother became anxious

when she heard his reply. "Sir, why the sudden slow approach? Weren’t you present for the drafting of

our plan? Also, the land to the back of the mountains is wild and deserted. Earlier you mentioned your

high hopes of selling it. Now, my family is offering a good price. Why are you suddenly reluctant?" The

village head spoke slowly, bureaucratic and formal in tone," The land to the back of the mountains is

the communal property of the village. The acquisition of this land is a serious matter and we cannot

make a hasty decision. A thorough investigation will be needed, examining all the relevant issues one

at a time." Xenia’s mother face fell. She was not sure how to deal with this old scoundrel. But Xenia

was not so cordial. She said coldly, "Sir, did Brett mention something that made you change your mind

so suddenly? The village head responded in anger, saying, "What are you trying to imply ? Are you

saying that I have selfish intentions and that I am using my official authority to make things difficult for

you?" Xenia replied without tact, "If that is the case, then you should know very well then." "You are

slandering me. In that case, we have nothing to discuss. You can return home now." The village head

gestured his hand in indication that they should leave. Brett Han, who was beside him, was exhilarated.

Noticing that Xenia was flushing red, he could not help taunting her, "By the way, I have good news for

all of you. The Han family is going to acquire the land to the back of the mountains and open a mine

there. When it is ready, you can be one of the employees or workers there!" "You.." Xenia was alarmed

and glanced at the village head. "What’s going on, sir ? Didn’t you say that you needed a slow

approach to decide on the acquisition of the land ? How could you have given the contract to the Han

family in a split second ?" The village head replied without emotion, "The Han family’s enterprise is the

pride and backbone of our village. Naturally, it will require the strong support of the village." "You.."

Xenia was incensed. At this moment, a commotion outside could be heard. One could hear the sound

of objects smashing and people quarreling Shocked, everyone went out from the village head’s house

to take a look at what was happening. Close to the entrance of the village, there was an empty ground,

and a group of youths who looked like gangsters were smashing up some of the cars belonging to the

engineers and workers. Several of them came forward to stop them, but they were pushed aside by

those gangsters and were beaten up. When Fade Chen saw this, he immediately shouted, "Stop it!"

The leader of these men was a sturdy looking man in his thirties. He was muscular and had a savage

expression on his face. He carried a steel pipe in his hand, which was stained with some blood. "Who

ordered you to smash the cars and to beat up these people?" Fade shouted. The sturdy looking man

came forward, sizing up Fade. He pointed to the smashed up cars and said, "These cars and their

owners, they are related to you ?" " Yes! I just asked you, who ordered you to do this?" Fade spoke in a

low voice. The sturdy looking man spat on the ground and said, "Nobody ordered us to do this. Your

cars are on top of our vegetable field. Therefore, I have to get rid of the cars to teach all of you a

lesson, so how about that?" While speaking, he pointed to the weeds under the cars. Clearly, he was

blatantly lying about the situation. "Is that a vegetable field?’ Fade sneered. "Yes it is, it’s not just any

ordinary plant, it is of a rare variety Just the crop from this piece of land would be worth at least 50,000.

You crushed the vegetables, so you have to compensate me. Are we clear on that?" The sturdy looking

man said arrogantly "Really ?" Fade sneered in anger. "It seems to me that you are trying to extort

some money through this situation." "What can you do about it then ? Does that upset you then ?" The

sturdy looking man stretched out his fingers and pushed against Fade’s chest. Fade frowned and

caught the man’s fingers in one gesture. He snapped them backwards and there was a cracking sound.

The man’s fingers were broken and hung limp at a strange angle. The man let out a painful roar, and

his forehead was covered with sweat. He shouted, "Get him! Beat him up!" Instantly, more than a

dozen of the gangsters rushed toward Fade with ferocity Fade snorted and rushed into the crowd.

Launching his fists and feet everywhere, he came down hard on the punks. In a split second, the crowd

witnessed something shocking This group of gangsters, who were so savage, could not defend

themselves against Fade. They were beaten to a pulp and fled the scene howling, scampering away. In

just a few minutes, the whole group of them had been defeated by Fade. Their leader, the sturdy

looking man, glanced at Fade, who looked thin and frail. A layer of sweat appeared on his forehead,

and his body began to shudder. "Who, who are you?" Fade snorted and said, "Tell me, who ordered

you to do this? At that moment, the sturdy looking man didn’t dare to hide anything from him. He

quickly answered, "It’s Wyman Han. He asked me to bring my men here to smash up the cars. "Wyman

is Brett’s father." Xenia explained quickly. "Where is he now?" Fade asked. The sturdy looking man

said, I heard, I heard that he met someone in town and was about to sign a contract to acquire the land

to the back of the mountains." "What!" Xenia and her mother exclaimed at the same time. They just

wanted to expand their business, and now they had to face the harassment and dirty tactics that were

used by the Han family in order to stop them. Fade fixed an icy stare at the gangsters for a moment,

then turned to Xenia and her mother and said, "We won’t let them sign the contract. Let’s go now to

town." With one hand, Fade stowed the sturdy-looking man into the car. With the other, he grabbed

Brett Han, who was about to flee and sound the alarm. He also stuffed him in the car. Then he glared at

the village head and commanded, "You get in the car too!" Looking at the wounded men on the ground,

the village head was frightened. He stepped back and said, "I, I won’t!" "You don’t want to get in? Do

you want me to force you?" Fade spoke coldly. The village head trembled in fright. He did not dare to

speak up anymore, and got into the car obediently, Then, Fade requested for another engineer to drive

Xenia and her mother to town. Meanwhile, in one of the rooms of the most luxurious hotel in town,

Wyman Han was entertaining and dealing with several pot bellied men, and his face was red from

drinking lots of wine. "Gentlemen, I would like to propose a toast to you again. This time, many thanks

for your assistance, in regards to the acquisition of the land to the back of the mountains. After the deal

is consolidated, I will do what I promised, and give each of you one portion of the shares." Wyman

stood up and prepared to raise his glass. All the other men also raised their glasses, with a jovial

expression on their faces. After downing the glass of wine, one of the men, who was bespectacled,

seemed a little concerned and said, "Wyman, I heard that the Xu family has hired a lot of engineers

and workers. I also heard that they invited some experts from the city to assist them as well. Will there

be any problems regarding this matter?" Wyman thumped his chest and said, "Department Head Liu,

rest assured, these engineers or workers, despite coming from a bigger city, are mere foreign

employees. Besides, this is our territory. We can’t allow outsiders to do as they please with it!" "Yes, Mr.

Liu, you think too much.

This is Brother Han’s position in our territory." A slightly balding man gave Wyman the thumbs up in gesture and then patted

Department Head Liu on the shoulder. "Just accept the money without worry and wait for the profit!" "Haha, let’s make a huge

profit together!" Wyman raised his glass once more..
