Wu Tian's eyes widened, then he shoved Wang Damao, whispering, "Stop sleeping, someone's coming!"
"Huh?" Wang Damao had been dozing off.
Hearing Wu Tian, he immediately woke up.
He looked towards the plaza and exclaimed, "My heavens, someone's actually coming? Wu Tian, you're a miracle worker!"
"Don't be noisy," Wu Tian said irritably. "You'll come out with me later, follow behind me and record with your phone, understand?"
Wang Damao took out his phone and nodded, "Don't worry, I can handle this small matter."
"Those two scoundrels, daring to poison the well, I'll never forgive them!"
Under the cover of night, the two men cautiously approached the well.
One of them whispered, "Be quick, don't let anyone see!"
The person beside him hesitated, "Brother Liu, are we really going to do this?"
"This is illegal! If we're caught, we'll go to jail!"
"We already did this last time, why don't we just let it go this time?"
The other man snapped, "Why the hell are you talking nonsense here?"
"Do you think I want to do this? But that damn village doctor cured everyone, what other choice do I have?"
"Hurry up and do it. I told you, if I become village head, this deputy village head position is yours!"
"Don't you want to get married? If you want a wife, do this for me!"
The person beside him hesitated again, then gritted his teeth and took out a packet of powder from his pocket.
The man sneered, "Wu Tian, you think you're so great, huh!"
"I've got a stronger poison this time, let's see what you can do now!"
Just as the two were about to poison the well, Wu Tian rushed out and shouted, "Stop right there!"
The two men, already guilty, were startled by the shout and almost fell into the well.
The powder from the other man's hand fell directly onto the ground.
"We've been discovered, run! Run!"
The two men couldn't care less, and bolted towards the exit of the plaza.
But with their speed, how could they possibly outrun Wu Tian?
Wu Tian caught up with them like a gust of wind, first kicking one to the ground, then pinning the other down.
"Stay put! Don't move!" Wu Tian growled.
The man was terrified, struggling frantically to escape Wu Tian's grasp.
But Wu Tian's strength was too great; he couldn't break free.
Wang Damao ran over with a flashlight.
He shone the flashlight on the man beneath Wu Tian and became enraged:
"Well, well, Liu Song, it really is you!"
Under the bright light, Liu Song squinted, unable to open his eyes properly.
He was almost scared to death and shouted, "You've got it wrong!"
"It wasn't me! It wasn't me! I wasn't here to poison the well!"
Wu Tian sneered, "Liu Song, you're such an idiot. When did I say you were here to poison the well? Aren't you confessing by saying that?"
Liu Song's face turned green. He stammered, "N-no, I misspoke, I..."
"Shut up, you bastard!"
Wang Damao yelled angrily at Liu Song, "If you want to be village head, fine, but why resort to such tactics?"
"Do you know what you're doing? This is poisoning!"
"If you poison the entire village, even your ancestors will crawl out to find you!"
Liu Song was almost losing the ability to think.
All he knew was that what he had done must not be revealed.
Otherwise, he would likely spend his life in prison!
He stammered, "You guys, calm down! Calm down! Don't arrest me!"
"It was just a moment of confusion, give me a chance, I'll never do it again!"
Wang Damao slapped him, "A moment of confusion? You poisoned once, and now you're trying to do it a second time!"
"Is this a moment of confusion, or are you just plain evil!"
"I'll call all the villagers here in a moment, and I want everyone to see what kind of beast you are!"
Hearing Wang Damao say this, Liu Song was on the verge of tears.
He trembled, "No! If you do that, I'll go to jail!"
"Wang Damao! Village Head Wang! Please spare me! I've made money from my business, I'll give it to you, all of it!"
"How much can you earn as village head? My money is enough for you to live a good life in the city!"
Wang Damao slapped him again, his eyes red as he cursed, "Don't you try that with me!"
"Do you think I became village head to make money? I serve the people!"
"You've fallen into my hands today, and no matter what you say, I will send you to jail!"
Hearing Wang Damao's words, even Wu Tian was surprised.
In his impression, Wang Damao had always been a lecherous old man, always wandering around and taking advantage of women whenever he had the chance.
But today, it seemed this guy had some backbone!
For a moment, Wu Tian's opinion of Wang Damao changed.
Later, under Wu Tian's restraint, Liu Song and his accomplice were tied up.
Wang Damao gathered the villagers and held a denunciation meeting in the plaza that night.
After the meeting, Liu Song and the other man were taken away by the police.
The law would mete out severe punishment to them.
Two days later, the village head election meeting began.
This vote would decide who would hold the position of village head from now on.
After this incident, the villagers had been very supportive of Wu Tian taking on the role of village head.
But Wu Tian had no interest in such matters and cast his vote for Wang Damao.
Thus, without any suspense, Wang Damao continued to serve as village head.
"Wu Tian, thank you so much this time."
After the meeting, Wang Damao thanked Wu Tian, "If it weren't for you, our village would have been ruined."
Wu Tian said calmly, "No need to thank me. I'm also a member of the village, and it's what I should do."
"But Wang Damao, you should do your job as village head properly, and stop thinking about harassing women all day."
"Since you've taken this position, you should do some practical things!"
Wang Damao looked distressed and sighed, "Wu Tian, let me tell you the truth, I actually want to build up the village!"
"But our village is a poverty-stricken village, and the higher authorities don't even look at us, what can I do?"
"Take this incident for example, I also realized that our village can't use well water anymore, but the Water Bureau won't connect us to the water supply, what can I do?"
"I may look like a village head, but in reality, I have no authority at all!"
