Chapter 394
The old lady didn’t dare to make a scene. She was worried that if she uttered another word, her family
would be in even more trouble. Right at this moment, none of the other villagers dare to meet the eyes
of Larkin Xu. They were afraid, that if they gazed at him, something bad would also happen to their own
family. But Larkin wasn’t here to be courteous, and he flipped open the documents one by one for all
the villagers to see. One after another, punishments and penalties were handed out. Some were fired
by their companies, others who had their own small businesses were ordered to shut down their
businesses. Those who were in farming and agriculture were found to have done some illegal activities
and had to have their farmland repossessed and cleared. In short, nobody in the village was spared of
his wrath. Moreover, there were all sorts of reasons that led to them being charged. Some charges had
reasons behind them, whereas others were just trivial matters. But at this time, Larkin was not planning
to let them slide. He showed them all of the cases right in their faces. In just a few minutes, almost
every single villager had received a few penalty letters and summons from the court. Ordinary small
businesses were still okay, but those who were asked for huge compensations were completely
dumbfounded at this moment. Lenny Liu, the Village Head, had suffered the biggest loss. His small
restaurant was shut down, and he had customers suing him. Also, he was suspected of bribery. He
instantly gritted his teeth and he was incensed. He clutched the hoe tightly in his hand and teared the
summoning letters he had gotten from the court. He glared at Fade Chen and the rest of the people
and snapped, "I don’t believe you guys. This is all fake, I don’t believe any of this." "Even if it’s true,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyour punishments are unfair. We won’t comply with this." With the Village Head taking the lead, the
other villagers followed suit and began to shout in agreement. "It’s not fair. We won’t comply." "No
matter what judgments you’re going to make, we won’t cooperate. We’ll never comply with them!" "Yes,
I don’t agree!" "If you want to tear down my house, just crush me with it!" "I’m going to fight you all to
the death!" You could see the veins on the Village Head’s neck bulging as he shouted energetically. He
glared at Fade, and his eyes were full of resentment. Gritting his teeth, he shouted," It’s all his fault. Kill
him. Let’s kill him together!" Suddenly, a group of villagers rushed toward Fade. The color on Old
Snake and his followers’ faces changed. They had resolute expressions as they surrounded the
villagers, ready to make a move at any moment. But at this time, Fade remained calm. He stared at the
angry villagers coldly and said in a low voice, "You can try, but you’d better not regret it." "You can try
beating me to death and see if I regret it!" The Village Head shouted as he lifted his hoe and prepared
to smash Fade with it. But at this moment, a phone call interrupted him. The Village Head felt puzzled.
He took the phone out and clicked to answer the call. Suddenly, a cry came from the other side of the
phone," Lenny, what have you done ? Both of us are in deep trouble because of you." "What’s wrong,
honey?" Lenny, the
Village Head was nervous. A woman’s cry came from the other end of the phone." My store has been
shut down. There are people here from the Sanitary Bureau and the Department of Commerce. Even
the police are here. They’ve started arresting people." "What I’m going to kill them..." the Village Head
snarled. But at this time, Larkin said coldly, "Your threatening words and actions have consequences
on others. I will take note of everything." The Village Head was still in a daze. At this time, one phone
started ringing right after another, and there was crying or shouting on the other end." Dad, what did
you do ? I’ve been fired by the company. The boss said that it was all because of you." "Mom, who did
you provoke again? Little Yuan was suspended from school. They said that it was something about his
documents not being complete, and something else about his misconduct." "My stall was destroyed.
The person who destroyed it said that you offended him." "Dad, I scratched someone else’s car. The
other party wants me to compensate 200 thousand yuan." All kinds of voices could be heard all around,
and all the villagers were stunned. Their feet were glued to the ground as they listened to all the roaring
and crying from the other side of the phones. At this moment, all their glares of resentment and horror
were directed at Fade. The Village Head gritted his teeth and glared at Fade. With a voice full of
hatred, he said, "You, you threatened us with our family members. You are shameless." Fade sneered
and said, "I’m shameless? I learned this from you guys. Since you guys could blackmail others out of
the blue, I don’t see anything wrong with me finding fault with you. Plus, it was you guys who made all
this mistakes and finally got caught." "These are just small matters that other people have also
committed. You’re just plotting to take revenge on us, the Village Head said, gnashing his teeth with
resentment. Many of the villagers were also glaring at Fade, and their eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
Fade snorted and said, "Yes, all these are just trivial matters." "Besides, I’m warning you right now that
this is just the beginning. In the future, if any of you even violate the law, even by just a bit, I promise
you that there will be someone knocking on your door to arrest you immediately." "So, all of you had
better behave yourself. Don’t do anything illegal, otherwise hmph-" Fade snorted. The villagers couldn’t
help but shudder as they felt shivers down their spine. In the past, they had always believed that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbecause their village was located on the border and that it was a little remote, the police wouldn’t
bother about all these trivial matters. Even if they wanted to, when the villagers came together, the
police wouldn’t be able to handle them. That was why they had acted so brashly, constantly challenging
the limits of the law, and even resorted to blackmailing others. But now, they had bumped into a huge
obstacle. This obstacle intended to let them know the consequences of provoking someone powerful.
He wanted to let them know that not just themselves, but all their family members and close friends
would be affected by their mistakes. They also couldn’t argue that this was against the law, because he
had brought the best lawyer from the city to pick out all their mistakes, and then have them arrested
immediately. If they were going to use force, Old Snake and his followers weren’t just going to sit back
and watch. When the time came, they would fight, and this group of villagers were definitely no match
for them. At this moment, these villagers finally knew what strength and authority looked like. Finally,
they were going to pay for their ignorance and shamelessness. For a moment, everyone stood still with
their mouths open and their eyes expressionless. Their faces were
blank. On the other hand, Fade waved his hand and signaled to the officers, "Arrest them!"
Immediately, the officers from the Ministry of Public Service, Department of Commerce, Court of Law,
and various other departments joined forces and arrested all the parties who were involved especially
the group who was led by the Village Head. The officers handcuffed them without showing them any
mercy and shoved them into the cars. As a result, this group of villagers who were so erratic and fierce
just now didn’t even say a single word to fight off the officers. Seeing this, the crowd couldn’t help
applauding and looking at Fade with admiration and envy. Obviously, this man wasn’t someone
ordinary. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have executed such a huge plan in a short period
of time..
