Chapter 434: Villagers came to block the door again

Watching the village cadres of Shuangfeng Town leave one by one with solemn expressions, Hu Tianyu and Lin Wei both felt relieved.

Hu Tianyu sincerely praised Chen Yang: "Boss Chen, you still have a way. You solved the problem in just a few words."

Chen Yang reminded him: "Secretary Hu, don't be too optimistic; the problem isn't solved yet."

Hu Tianyu looked at Chen Yang doubtfully: "The village party secretaries of all villages just expressed their stance, guaranteeing they'll complete the task. What else could change?"

Chen Yang thought Hu Tianyu had a short memory. He reminded him: "The village party secretaries' agreement doesn't mean all villagers agree. You've already forgotten how you were blocked in the office?"

Upon hearing that, Hu Tianyu recalled his own embarrassing experience of being blocked, and gave an embarrassed laugh. Then he immediately called the chief of the town police station, Hu Deyang, ordering him to quickly reinforce the police force and be ready to confront any troublemaking villagers.

Chen Yang said to Hu: "That bit of police force at the station is definitely not enough. Besides, they have some familial ties with the villagers, so they might not be strict when enforcing the law. I think we should transfer personnel from the County Public Security Bureau to provide support."

Hu Tianyu was also annoyed by the villagers surrounding him, so he immediately called Secretary Gong Wen's assistant and conveyed Chen Yang's suggestion.

After a while, Gong Wen personally called Hu Tianyu and specifically asked for Chen Yang to take the call.

"Hello, Secretary Gong!"

"Boss Chen, I will immediately set up a special working group to go to Shuangfeng Town to supervise the progress of the vegetable greenhouse project. Please be confident in our determination to carry out this plan well."

"Thank you for your support, Secretary Gong. I also very much hope this project can achieve a win-win outcome."

"Rest assured, Boss Chen, the Dongyang County Party Committee and County Government will constantly monitor the situation in Shuangfeng Town. There will be absolutely no more mistakes."

"With those words from Secretary Gong, I'm relieved. Then I won't disturb your work."

Chen Yang handed the phone back to Hu Tianyu. With Gong Wen's guarantee, the troublemaking villagers of Shuangfeng Town probably won't cause any trouble.

However, he still underestimated this place of Shuangfeng Town with its fierce local customs. Less than an hour after the village party secretaries left, a crowd of aggressive villagers gathered outside the town government.

Chen Yang roughly counted, at least twenty or thirty people. With that show of force, even if the town police didn't hold back, they probably couldn't stop them.

This time Hu Tianyu was prepared; before they could get close, he immediately ordered the town government's main gate to be forcibly shut.

Seeing they couldn't enter the town government, the troublemaking villagers outside hammered on the gate with all their might.

"Surname Chen, come out! If you dare to take back our greenhouses, I will spill your blood!"

"Surname Chen, don't think a little money makes you great. If you dare to threaten us, believe it or not, I will make you enter Shuangfeng Town upright and leave sideways."

"Surname Chen, you only know how to bully our honest village secretaries. If you have the ability, come out and practice with us; don't be a shrinking turtle."

Hu Tianyu heard the cries denouncing Chen Yang outside, his scalp about to explode. He told Lin Wei: "Mayor Lin, you and Boss Chen go hide in your office for now. We'll keep watch here. When the county reinforcements arrive, you can come out."

Lin Wei shook her head: "Secretary Hu, these people are just bluffing, trying to scare my husband. If they really tried to storm the town government, they still don't have the guts."

Hu Tianyu thought Lin Wei was overconfident, so he continued to advise: "Mayor Lin, I know those troublemakers better than you; they're unreasonable. You'd better hide! If they really rush in and hurt you, how would I explain it to the county?"

Lin Wei laughed but still had no intention of leaving. Seeing this, Chen Yang reassured Hu Tianyu: "Secretary Hu, don't worry; my wife has studied martial arts, three or five people can't get near her. As long as the police officers at the station stay on duty, with our current manpower we have nothing to fear from those troublemakers."

Hu Tianyu didn't want to risk his future betting on Chen Yang's luck, so he immediately told Chief Hu Deyang: "Chief Hu, you must ensure Boss Chen's safety. If those villagers dare to rush in and harm him, fire warning shots directly."

At this point, Chief Hu Deyang couldn't care about hometown ties. After all, these people might very well cost him his official hat.

He solemnly promised Hu Tianyu: "Secretary Hu, rest assured, I won't let anyone get near Chen Yang." After saying that, he immediately assigned two police officers to guard Chen Yang on both sides.

Chen Yang didn't want to be sandwiched between police, which felt weird. He told Chief Hu Deyang: "Chief Hu, you just need to stop the villagers from causing trouble; I don't need a bodyguard here."

At this point, Chief Hu Deyang couldn't listen to Chen Yang's words; his mind was full of preserving his official hat.

Seeing the police unwilling to leave his side, Chen Yang simply went to Lin Wei's office to rest.

As expected, the villagers outside, just as Lin Wei guessed, were only bluffing. They shouted for a long time but still dared not storm the town government.

About half an hour later, sudden urgent siren sounds came from outside. After the sirens, there was a panicked sound of fleeing footsteps.

Through the gap in the town government gate, Hu Tianyu saw that reinforcements had arrived and let out a long sigh of relief.

Chief Hu Deyang quickly opened the gate, directing the station's police to cooperate with the county police in arresting the troublemaking villagers.

In less than ten minutes, over twenty troublemaking villagers were all captured and taken back to the town government's compound.

Only then did Chen Yang slowly walk out of Lin Wei's office.

He glanced and found that at least half of those arrested had participated in the disturbance outside the office building of Old Hundred Meat Industry Co., Ltd.

"As expected, rivers and mountains may change, but one's nature is hard to alter!"

Chen Yang said to Hu: "Secretary Hu, regardless of whether these troublemakers reform or not, our company will unconditionally cancel its sponsorship of them."

"Moreover, many of them have caused trouble at Old Hundred Meat Industry Co., Ltd before, so they're not first-time offenders. I hope you will deal with them seriously to create a good investment environment for Shuangfeng Town."

Hu Tianyu nodded and promised: "Boss Chen, rest assured, I will absolutely not be lenient this time." After saying that, he immediately found Deputy Bureau Chief Liao, who had come from the county city to provide support, and had him send all the detained villagers to the Qingshui County Bureau for interrogation.

Three days later, only a few of the twenty-odd villagers taken away by the police were released. These people, having participated for the first time and not committed serious crimes, avoided imprisonment.

As for the villagers who were detained, they not only lost their investment rights in the vegetable greenhouses, but also had to endure long-term meals in the small black cell.
