As Liu Gang was lost in his thoughts, Er Zhu's voice reached his ears. He looked up and saw that the villagers had retreated to the side, glaring at them with anger.
"That's not true! Don't listen to his nonsense. He's just retaliating because you just beat him up!"
"Yeah, we've lived together for so long. Don't you know us by now?"
"He Er Niang, don't look at me like that, it's making me uneasy!"
...
Er Zhu had seen through Liu Gang and his group with a single, incisive remark. They all retorted, with Pan San Shen trembling in fear.
*Puff!*
Before the villagers could speak, they saw Uncle Liu vomit another mouthful of blood. This time, the blood was indeed bright red!
"Alright, Uncle Liu will wake up in half an hour."
Seeing that the poisonous gas was gone from the blood, Er Zhu nodded slightly as he spoke and removed the silver needle.
"Alright, Wang Er Zhu, stop acting like a mystic. You can cure a disease that so many experts and professors couldn't? Are you trying to fool ghosts?"
"Let me tell you, I'm going to compete with you for the village head position. Not only will I become the village head, but I'll also send you to jail!"
Seeing that his scheme was exposed, Liu Gang no longer hid anything and revealed his plan in one go.
"Let me also tell you, I have many assets in town, and my net worth is as high as thirty million. Getting you out of office is as easy as crushing an ant!"
"Also, the new director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau is my uncle. You little brat, just wait for your death!"
Seeing that Er Zhu remained silent, Liu Gang assumed Er Zhu was guilty and continued to boast arrogantly.
Hearing this, Wang Lao San and the others' eyes gleamed. They looked at each other, excited.
They knew Liu Gang was wealthy, but they never expected him to be this rich!
Tens of millions, they had never seen so much money in their lives!
Not only was he rich, but he also had a powerful relative, and most importantly, the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau!
My goodness, they had heard that Wang Er Zhu had many businesses in town!
In that case, wouldn't Liu Gang win this round for sure?
"That's right! We just don't believe Wang Er Zhu can cure this old man's illness. So what if we're here to watch the show?"
"I'll give you a chance. If you vote for me now, everyone gets a reward of thirty thousand yuan!"
Seeing his companions return, Liu Gang's confidence soared. He began to canvass for votes in front of Er Zhu, but the scene was silent.
"Alright, just go find a cool place to hang out. What's the big deal about having a net worth of tens of millions?"
"Exactly, our village is the wealthiest in Liuzhen. Our annual income is several million, and some families can even hit ten million!"
"Thirty thousand yuan? Are you trying to buy off beggars?"
...
The villagers' words shocked Liu Gang and his group. They knew Shiliu Village was wealthy, but they didn't expect it to be this wealthy!
Liu Gang was even more enraged. His anger surged to the top of his head, and he felt like he was about to explode!
"None of that is important. These guys are deliberately trying to stir up trouble. They're waiting to see Er Zhu make a fool of himself!"
Just as the villagers were mocking Liu Gang's net worth, Sun Er Niang, with a frown, pointed out the crux of the problem.
"How dare you mock Er Zhu? Everyone, listen to me, drive these people out of Shiliu Village!"
"Drive them out!"
"Drive them out!"
...
Upon hearing Sun Er Niang's reminder, the villagers finally remembered Er Zhu. They raised their fists, shouting, and slowly approached Liu Gang and his group.
"What are you doing? You'd better not move, I just said, my uncle is the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau!"
Facing the public's outrage, Liu Gang kept retreating. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
He had intended to stir up trouble and have the villagers deal with Er Zhu, but he never expected this outcome!
Hearing this, Sun Er Niang waved her hand, and all the villagers looked at Er Zhu in unison.
Liu Gang's net worth was not to be feared, but his uncle was a problem!
They didn't have many businesses in town, but most of Er Zhu's businesses were in town!
And these all fell within his relative's jurisdiction!
It was easy for an official to deal with ordinary people, and the wealthy were no exception!
"Heh heh, scared now, Wang Er Zhu? You'd better abdicate obediently, or I'll have my uncle shut down all your companies!"
Seeing that Er Zhu remained silent, Liu Gang assumed Er Zhu was afraid. The panic in his eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by smugness.
After all, the common people couldn't fight against officials. No matter how rich this kid was, he couldn't fight an official!
This time, the position of village head of Shiliu Village was his!
"Er Niang, drive them out of Shiliu Village!"
Just as Liu Gang thought he was about to win, he heard Er Zhu say this.
Moreover, he didn't just say it; he said it without even lifting his head, as if he didn't care about Liu Gang's words at all!
"Okay!" Liu Gang was about to speak when he saw Sun Er Niang nod. Then, more than a dozen burly men rushed over and subdued them.
"Kid, you dare to drive us out, try it!"
"Liu Gang, hurry up and call your uncle!"
"Idiot, you just bullied the nephew of the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau. Just wait for your company to be shut down!"
...
Wang Lao San and the others threatened Er Zhu while struggling and jumping, but Er Zhu never looked at them.
"Good boy, you just wait for me!" Liu Gang gritted his teeth and stared at Er Zhu. Just as he was about to take out his phone, a familiar car drove over from a distance.
Everyone's attention turned to the car. When they saw a man in an Industry and Commerce Bureau uniform get out, the villagers quickly let go of Liu Gang and his group.
This guy shows up when you talk about him. The director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau actually came!
All the villagers ran behind Er Zhu, looking at him with worry, but Er Zhu appeared indifferent.
"Uncle, Uncle, hurry over here. This kid instigated the villagers to drive me out. You must help me!"
Seeing the square-faced man walking towards him, Liu Gang quickly went to meet him and pointed at Er Zhu, angrily complaining.
This person was Zheng Tian Qi, the new director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau in Liuzhen, and Liu Gang's uncle, who had raised him since he was a child!
Liu Gang's parents died when he was five years old. Since then, he had lived with his aunt's family. His aunt's family treated him as their own, especially his uncle, who treated him even better than his own son!
"Who is it? Which desperate fellow dared to bully you?"
Seeing Liu Gang's eyes red, Zheng Tian Qi questioned with a frown. Following the direction Liu Gang was pointing, he was about to speak, but when he saw Er Zhu's resolute profile, his furrowed brow instantly relaxed!
"It's him! This kid pretended to cure a villager and killed him. We said a word to him, and he used his authority as village head to order the villagers to drive us away!"
Seeing that Uncle Liu had not yet woken up, Liu Gang decided to talk about Uncle Liu's situation as well.
