Chapter 648: Chapter 637: Interesting Things

Auntie Wang was at a loss for words when Qiao Jing confronted her, stammering and unable to reply.

Finally, she bit her teeth and burst out defiantly,

"I definitely wouldn’t say such things about their family for no reason! Besides, you’re friends with Chi Yuhang, aren’t you? You must be speaking up for him now! I bet you’re not here to treat Old Master Chi, are you? You’re a reinforcement Chi Yuhang brought in, aren’t you? How scheming!"

How would she know if Chi Yuhang’s family land was public or not? She was simply taking advantage and had not bothered to investigate it herself.

As long as she could incite the neighbors to join her, she believed there was no way they couldn’t tear down Chi Yuhang’s backyard!

Qiao Jing saw through Auntie Wang’s bluster and realized she didn’t have any solid evidence but was deliberately picking a fight.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Qiao Jing understood Auntie Wang’s motive.

It was nothing more than Nanqing coming over the last time and causing Auntie Wang to lose face. Now, the latter wanted to take revenge.

Upon hearing Auntie Wang’s words, Old Lu seemed to gain confidence. At this moment, his only desire was to move his vegetables to their own backyard, disregarding everything else, and he chimed in,

"Xiao Chi, consider it a favor for Uncle Loo. If it’s not your family’s land, then just take down the fence, all right?"

Auntie Wang’s relatives began to stir things up.

"Chi Yuhang, don’t make this ugly. Illegally monopolizing public resources is against the law, isn’t it? And you’ve been doing it for so many years. What do you have to say for yourself?"

The other neighbors hesitated, but the sight of fresh vegetables in the garden was too tempting to resist.

"If it’s really public land... then what should we do?"

"Although Xiao Chi has indeed helped us a lot, monopolizing public resources is definitely not right."

"Xiao Chi, if this land isn’t yours, give us a heads up, and we’ll help you take it down. If it is yours, then don’t take our words to heart."

"..."

As Qiao Jing listened to the neighbors’ words, her brows furrowed deeply.

In every word and gesture, the neighbors doubted Chi Yuhang, even though they had just been supporting his family. Now, influenced by a few words from Auntie Wang and others, they began to suspect his family too.

Suddenly, Qiao Jing noticed all the neighbors’ gazes fixed on the vegetables, realizing they coveted the lush garden out of sheer envy.

Her frown deepened, and she turned to look at the grandfather-grandson duo. If they couldn’t handle the situation, she was ready to offer assistance.

At this moment, Chi Yuhang too was frowning deeply, motionless as he observed all the neighbors present.

Chi Chenyun, angered by their doubts, said sternly,

"Our family has absolutely not encroached on a single inch of public resources!"

The elder’s serious tone and solemn expression caused the neighbors to pause and meet Chi Yuhang’s gaze, reminded of the many times the two had lent a helping hand over the years. They felt a twinge of guilt and were at a loss for what to say.

Auntie Wang couldn’t let the opportunity slip from her grasp.

She pressed on relentlessly,

"Old Master Chi, some matters can’t just be settled by talking. Do you have any proof that this land is yours?"

Qiao Jing’s expression turned stern, her aura chilling as she gave Auntie Wang a cold look. Not waiting for Chi Chenyun to answer, she spoke up first.

"And what proof do you have that the land isn’t theirs?"

She believed in the integrity of Old Master Chi and Chi Yuhang. The grandfather and grandson were not the kind to take even a penny from her, so how could they be the type to seize public land?

In contrast, it was Auntie Wang’s character and conduct that were far less trustworthy!

Auntie Wang was once again left speechless by Qiao Jing’s words, she glared fiercely at her opponent and said angrily:

"This is our village’s business, what do you count for as an outsider? What right do you have to speak?"

She absolutely couldn’t let this woman, who appeared out of nowhere, spoil her plans!

Auntie Wang’s words also made the neighbors dissatisfied with Qiao Jing. After all, these were their village matters; they didn’t want outsiders getting involved.

Especially since she was speaking up for Chi Yuhang, that just made things worse for some of the people who wanted the land.

Several peoples’ tones also began to turn unfriendly.

"Exactly, since when do outsiders get to meddle in our village affairs?"

"These are matters for our village, it’s not good to let outsiders get involved."

"Better for outsiders to not talk, or else it’ll just make things messier!"

"..."

Qiao Jing didn’t bother arguing with these people and directly sent a message to her subordinates.

Once the investigation was out and actual evidence presented, Auntie Wang wouldn’t be able to cause more trouble.

Seeing Qiao Jing making a phone call, Auntie Wang stood with her arms akimbo, dismissively saying:

"Calling someone? Trying to bring in reinforcements again? No matter how many you bring, it’s no use! All outsiders, what right do they have to intervene in our village matters?"

The brows of the grandfather and grandson, from the Chi family, were nearly twisted into knots, and they could no longer restrain themselves.

They could occasionally endure a few words said about them, but Qiao Jing was their family’s benefactor; they absolutely couldn’t let her be targeted for no reason!

Qiao Jing noticed that the grandfather and grandson were preparing to speak up for her, just then, her phone chimed.

She immediately halted the grandfather and grandson, her gaze falling upon the phone screen, looking at the land allocation map from over a decade ago.

First, she clearly saw that the current backyard indeed belonged to their family according to the distribution.

However... she noticed something even more interesting.

Qiao Jing’s lips curled up, her gaze sharp as ice, piercing straight towards Auntie Wang, fixing on her.

"Auntie Wang, are you so sure that this land isn’t theirs?"

Auntie Wang felt somewhat guilty under Qiao Jing’s gaze, but she still stubbornly said:

"Yes, how could I possibly come here to accuse their family unjustly?"

As long as she stubbornly denied without evidence, their family would have no way to deal with her!

And now the neighbors were also leaning towards her side; she didn’t believe that this woman in front of her could change the current situation.

The smile that emerged on Qiao Jing’s face didn’t contain a trace of mirth, instead giving off a chilling sensation.

She passed the phone to Chi Yuhang, "Chi Yuhang, you and your grandfather look at this map, and then you personally show this map to the neighbors later."

Chi Yuhang took Qiao Jing’s phone, and upon seeing the land allocation map from years past, he looked incredulously at her.

Although he knew Doctor Qiao’s identity was no ordinary one, and that she was from the Zhan Family, her ability to quickly procure something from over a decade ago within minutes made him even more aware of how formidable her methods were.

He glanced at the land allocation map on the screen and saw that the backyard was indeed his family’s, his face remained impassive. After all, he was clear about his grandfather’s character.

But he did see something that infuriated him, and after passing the phone to Old Master Chi, he looked towards Auntie Wang.
