The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 196 - 196 195 Spending Money to Ward Off Disasters

196: Chapter 195: Spending Money to Ward Off Disasters 196: Chapter 195: Spending Money to Ward Off Disasters Liu Hun was chatting merrily with Cai Yilan when a man dressed in a suit and clutching a briefcase appeared at the door.

He looked like someone who had come to collect the electric bill, followed by several burly men.

Looking at these men, who resembled the demolition office staff, Liu Hun knew trouble was brewing.

Qin Yue and others were up on the mountain planting saplings; if these people really had some disputes with the village, wouldn’t it be a joke in front of Cai Yilan?

“You …

what are you doing?” Liu Hun stood up politely.

If these people were involved in a dispute with the village’s business, he figured he should be polite, so he decided to first ask for clarification.

The man leading with the briefcase handed Liu Hun his business card before lifting his head, dangling his glasses, and saying, “Deputy Director of the Anchang County Committee Office, Chen Zili.”

“What brings Deputy Director Chen here?” Liu Hun asked, perplexed.

He hadn’t dealt with the County Committee recently and really had no clue why Chen Zili was looking for him.

Chen Zili stroked his small mustache, then swaggered in, glanced at Cai Yilan and others, his eyes lingering on Cai Yan before sitting down unapologetically and asking, “Oh!

Hosting guests today?”

Seeing Chen Zili’s demeanor, it was clear he wasn’t planning to leave even if there were guests.

Mu Zhuangqing, standing behind, tugged her husband and whispered, “Old Cai, should we step out for now?”

Cai Yilan smiled faintly and whispered back, “Step out for what?

I still want to see how these officials handle things.

Let’s just watch.”

“Deputy Director Chen, you see I have guests today, maybe …

could you come another day?” Liu Hun suggested, genuinely worried it might be related to the village’s affairs.

The village’s miscellaneous affairs were all managed by a group of women, and he didn’t understand much about it.

If there was a mistake, wouldn’t it embarrass him in front of Cai Yilan?

Chen Zili crossed his legs, then slammed his briefcase on the table, took out several documents, threw them on the table, and said to Liu Hun, “Liu Hun!

Look clearly, I’m here for money today!”

“What money?” Liu Hun frowned, quickly picked up the documents from the table, and his expression changed.

Holding the documents, he asked Chen Zili, “Deputy Director Chen, what does this mean?”

“What does it mean?

It’s written in black and white.

Are you blind?

Can’t you understand?

Pay up!” Chen shouted at Liu Hun like a landlord demanding rents on New Year’s Eve.

Liu Hun replied coldly, “When we participated in the agricultural expo selection, the County Committee clearly stated that winners would get a free booth and publicity at the Yuhua City Agricultural Expo.

You come here now demanding money with these documents?

Can I give it to you?”

“The County Committee said that?

Where?

Show it to me!

Don’t make that face as if you’re going to eat someone.

If you are capable, try eating one!

Let me be clear, the money must be paid!” Chen Zili pounded the table, fully showing the demeanor of a superior reprimanding a subordinate.

Liu Hun nodded slightly, then picked up the documents and examined them carefully.

Seeing Liu Hun nod, Chen Zili thought he was caving in and calculated that he could go back to Secretary Zhou to claim credit and reward, smiling proudly, “Pay what you owe, admit your mistakes, and we’ll consider the matter settled today.

Wanbao Village must have made a lot of money from this agricultural expo.

Without our County Committee’s strong promotion, would you be where you are today?

Don’t forget this, and be more observant in the future!”

“Old Cai!

This deputy director is simply …

simply too bullying!

Is this the behavior of all county officials today?

This is not at all akin to a servant of the people, but rather like someone oppressing the people!” Mu Zhuangqing was furious, pulling Cai Yilan.

Cai Yilan, with a stern face, did not expect the officials to be so arrogant, but he still wanted to see how Liu Hun would handle it, so he held Mu Zhuangqing back to keep quiet.

Liu Hun, in front of Chen Zili, tore the documents into strips and threw them in his face.

“You!” Chen Zili brushed off the strips of paper, never expecting Liu Hun, a mere bumpkin, to dare defy him like this.

“So what?

I’ll lay it out here—you won’t get a dime from me.

I don’t even have the documents, and don’t try to bluff here.

The contest was witnessed by many when the County Committee organized it.

Now you want to come with a few pieces of paper to ask me for money?

Get lost!

Besides that, I have nothing for you!” Liu Hun stared at Chen Zili, thinking if it weren’t for Cai Yilan being there, he wouldn’t waste so much saliva with such scum and would have just kicked him out of Wanbao Village right away.

“All right!

Acting tough, are you?

You want to act tough!

Provoking public officers, obstructing public officers from performing their duties!

Take him away!

Today, I’ll show you what’s what!” Chen Zili rolled up his sleeves and furiously signaled his men.

“What are you doing?!

You’re just a lowly deputy director, aren’t you?

You’re not even from the police or the judiciary; what right do you have to arrest people?” Cai Yan couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped forward to confront Chen Zili.

“You wretched woman!

A village woman from the backwoods challenging me about the law!

Let me tell you, I am the law!

Take them all away!” Chen Zili couldn’t believe his authority was being challenged this way by someone from a small mountain village.

As soon as Chen Zili had spoken, several burly men who had been ready behind him rushed toward Liu Hun and Cai Yan!

Mu Zhuangqing was truly terrified, not expecting that a minor official from the County Committee would be so aggressive.

She hastily tried to pull Cai Yan behind Cai Yilan, but Cai Yan didn’t move and said, “Mom!

Don’t panic!”

“Stupid girl!

These people are unreasonable!

You… how can you still be so calm?” Mu Zhuangqing worriedly said to Cai Yan.

The Governor’s Wife’s status did hold sway in upscale places, very effectively at that, but it was useless in places like food markets and rural supermarkets because no one recognized it, and she had suffered from that ignorance in the past, so she still had some concerns.

Cai Yan lifted her head arrogantly, glanced at her watch, and said, “If this isn’t settled in one minute, see if I bother with him anymore!”

“What?!” Mu Zhuangqing had no clue what her daughter was talking about, and just as she uttered this “what,” she heard a series of muffled bangs in the house and turned her head in shock…

she was stunned!

Cai Yilan was hesitating about whether to step forward and help Liu Hun out of the difficult situation when, to his surprise, Liu Hun had floored the group like mowing wheat, effortlessly.

Little did anyone know this young man was not only quick-witted and skilled in medicine but also harbored a mastery of National Martial Arts!

This was no ordinary feat!

He was like a great hidden dragon coiled up in this little ravine!

Cai Yilan admired Liu Hun even more and felt like he was back in his youth, watching the fiercely spirited TV series “Huo Yuanjia.”

Mu Zhuangqing was stunned for a good ten seconds before her eyes slowly shifted towards her daughter, finally understanding what she meant earlier.

In her eyes, Cai Yan, who was glancing at her watch again, said with irrepressible joy and pride, “Twenty seconds, barely passable!”

Liu Hun shook his hands, looked disdainfully at the men lying all over the ground, then turned to Chen Zili and asked, “Any more tricks?”

After initial shock and anger on his face, a sinister look crossed Chen Zili’s face.

Grinding his teeth, he said to Liu Hun, “Liu Hun!

Think you’re so capable, huh?

Good at fighting, huh?

You’ve broken the law!

Wait and spend the rest of your life in prison picking up soap!”

“You’re arresting me?” Liu Hun asked Chen Zili, relaxed and comfortable.

“Me!”

This voice did not come from Chen Zili or inside the house, but from a person standing at the door!

“Secretary Zhou!” Liu Hun looked coldly at the newcomer.

This Secretary Zhou, who had repeatedly sabotaged him on behalf of Li Tianyang, was here yet again today!

“Secretary Zhou!

What brings you here?

Look at this broken ravine, a place so poor and isolated it breeds maggots, why come in person?” Chen Zili rushed forward to greet him, nearly splitting his face with his smile.

This had all been part of Zhou Bing’s plan.

Having interacted with Liu Hun several times, Zhou Bing didn’t know everything about him, but he knew enough to realize Liu Hun was a tough nut to crack.

If several sturdy men couldn’t subdue him, then he had to step onto the field himself, and once Liu Hun resorted to violence, there would be grounds for action!

There!

Everything was unfolding according to Zhou Bing’s plan, and now it was his turn to make a grand appearance to punish the troublemaker and save the day!

“Cough, cough, cough!

I mean… Liu Hun!

If you have any opinions or requests, you can speak up, can’t you?

Why resort to violence?

Look now, I can’t even speak on your behalf!” Zhou Bing’s hypocritical lament almost brought tears to his eyes.

“Secretary Zhou, what should we do now?” Chen Zili asked Zhou Bing.

Zhou Bing waved his hand grandly at Chen Zili and said, “Follow the legal procedures, do what must be done!

No face can be given!

Act according to the law!”

“Since Secretary Zhou has said so.

Let’s be civil first, then forceful.

I want to ask since it’s about acting according to the law.

Why did Chen Zili come here asking for money, why didn’t he comply with prior notifications and decisions made by the County Committee.

And how did Chen Zili, without any enforcement right, attempt to arrest someone?” Liu Hun asked Zhou Bing, crossing his arms, not fearful at all, be it in diplomacy or combat.

As the deputy director of the County Committee office, Chen Zili was versatile, adept at currying favor with leaders and bullying the common folk.

Seeing Liu Hun bring this up, he immediately responded, “Secretary Zhou and I saw you hitting people!

Who saw me demanding money?

Who saw me arresting you?

Who?

Where?”

Zhou Bing also stared at Liu Hun with a look that said, “Now, let’s see what you do.”

“I saw it!” A robust and resonant voice suddenly filled the air.
