Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Villagers who Follow the Wind

Chen Dashan took a few steps forward, grabbed Xue Mengyu’s wrist, and asked, "What’s wrong? What happened?"

"Yes, is it the Xue Family putting pressure on you?"

Han Yifei also asked anxiously.

Xue Mengyu looked at the two people in front of her, one was her man, the other was her best friend. She felt aggrieved, her eyes filled with tears as she said, "The Xue Family has frozen all my assets, including my bank cards, vehicles, and properties, and they demand that I go to the Zhao Family right now to apologize to Zhao Qiqiang. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise... they will kick me out of the Xue Family!"

Xue Mengyu said the last sentence with a sob; tears rolled down her face.

She didn’t understand; the Xue Family was supposed to be her family, why would they do this? They didn’t care about her well-being. From the beginning, she strongly opposed the arranged marriage, but no one listened to her for the sake of family interests. Now, the Xue Family still wanted her to apologize.

What does it mean to apologize so late at night?

The Xue Family surely knows!

Xue Mengyu’s heart ached as if cut by a knife. Chen Dashan frowned and held Xue Mengyu in his arms, saying, "It’s okay. Without the Xue Family, you still have me!"

"Even without the support of the Xue Family, your Youlong Garden project will still operate as usual. As long as I’m here, you will still have a platform to shine on."

Xue Mengyu was moved, holding Chen Dashan tightly.

Han Yifei, seeing their interaction from the side, became more convinced that Chen Dashan was a responsible and good man.

She knew all about the situation between Xue Mengyu and Chen Dashan. Chen Dashan approached Xue Mengyu purely to get back at Zhao Qiqiang. After achieving his goal, he could have left, but he didn’t. At critical moments, he still stayed by Xue Mengyu’s side.

"It’s that Zhao Qiqiang again!"

"It must be him! This scum, he deserves to die!"

Seeing Xue Mengyu hurt, Han Yifei gritted her teeth, wanting nothing more than to kill Zhao Qiqiang herself.

While comforting Xue Mengyu, Chen Dashan said, "Since the Xue Family doesn’t accommodate you, let’s bring down Zhao Qiqiang and the Xue Family. When the time comes, you will be in charge of the Xue Family, and no one can bully you!"

"That’s right!"

Han Yifei quickly agreed, "Since the Xue Family treats you badly, we’ll take control ourselves!"

The three of them returned to the VIP room to continue discussing ways to deal with Zhao Qiqiang. After Xue Mengyu calmed down, Chen Dashan took both Xue Mengyu and Han Yifei to Han Yifei’s residence.

The two women had been close friends before and now, due to Chen Dashan, their relationship deepened even more.

Elsewhere.

Qin Lan, knowing her son Zhao Qiqiang had been bullied, immediately utilized her contacts and influence to target Chen Dashan’s businesses as soon as she returned.

The battle between the two sides had officially begun.

"Buzz, buzz..."

"Buzz!"

Early the next morning, before Chen Dashan had even woken up, the vibration of his phone roused him from sleep.

Seeing it was Wang Shiman calling, Chen Dashan quickly answered. Wang Shiman’s anxious voice came through, "Dashan, where are you right now? Hurry over here!"

"Something happened at the medicinal herb production base. Qi Shuzhu brought the Qi Family and a truckload of cash. They are already at the plantation, saying they want to sign contracts with the villagers on the spot. You need to get here immediately!"

Qi Shuzhu?

Chen Dashan’s mind instantly cleared. She was the eldest miss of Hengshui City who had made a bet with him.

With half the seven-day bet period already over, was she starting to make aggressive moves now?

He had anticipated the acquisition of the plantation long ago and was prepared. He quickly reassured Wang Shiman, "Sister Wang, don’t worry, I’ve made arrangements. There won’t be any problems. I’m heading over right now."

After finishing his words, Chen Dashan hung up and went to wash up.

The noise of him getting up woke up Han Yifei and Xue Mengyu. After briefly explaining the situation, Xue Mengyu asked anxiously, "What should we do?"

"If it’s really the Qi Family from Hengshui City, the villagers will definitely follow them."

Han Yifei said, "Wait for me, I’ll go with you. When we contracted the land, there must have been agreements. Since there are contracts, everyone must act according to the rules!"

Xue Mengyu needed to go to the Youlong Garden project, while Han Yifei, after washing up, went with Chen Dashan to the plantation.

"Master, who is this lady?"

As soon as they stepped outside, Wu Hongling, who had been waiting at Han Yifei’s door, saw a glamorous woman with an icy demeanor beside Chen Dashan and looked curious.

Chen Dashan got into the Range Rover.

He said to Wu Hongling, "She is our company’s legal adviser. Head to the suburb now, to the medicinal herb plantation as quickly as possible."

Something must have happened!

Wu Hongling didn’t ask more questions and quickly got into the car. The three of them sped along for about half an hour to a village at the outskirts of Furong County.

The suburb was vast and sparsely populated, with roads wider than those in the city.

Chen Dashan got out of the car and squinted his eyes, scanning the fields full of greenhouses, mostly growing medicinal herbs. Following the address Wang Shiman gave, the three just arrived to see Wang Shiman surrounded by villagers.

"Boss Wang, it’s not that we don’t want to rent to you, but Miss Qi’s offer is too high!"

"Yes, we also have to make a living. I think you should give up!"

"I heard the Qi Family wants to buy out your company. I think that’s a good idea. Miss Qi is generous; following her won’t put you at a loss..."

"Yes, continuing like this is pointless."

The villagers wanted to breach the contract, so they pestered Wang Shiman, manipulating and pseudo-persuading her with insincere words.

Wang Shiman, with a headache, said, "You guys can’t do this. The terms are clearly black and white on paper..."

Before she could finish, a villager interrupted, "What’s written? It’s our land. We want to rent it to whoever we want. Unless you offer a higher price than the Qi Family, we’ll definitely rent to you!"

"Exactly!"

"We don’t understand any legality. Breach of contract? Go ahead and sue us if you have the guts!"

The villagers were arrogantly rambunctious.

Chen Dashan couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped forward, shielding Wang Shiman behind him. He glared coldly at the pushy villagers, "Get lost!"

"Do you want a lawsuit? By coincidence, I brought a top lawyer. Talk to her!"

Chen Dashan’s fierce aura instantly cowed the bullies.

A few of them stood in front of Chen Dashan like frightened quails, not daring to make a sound. Han Yifei stepped forward, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a professional outfit that made her look both sophisticated and stern. She coldly stared at the villagers, "I am lawyer Han Yifei. All your actions against my client could become evidence in court. I advise you to be mindful of your words."

The villagers exchanged uneasy glances.

Wang Shiman pulled Chen Dashan aside, "Qi Shuzhu is here already, with the Qi Family, in the office of the plant."

"The villagers, seeing the money, are as excited as predators smelling blood. They don’t care about the contracts at all. What should we do?"
