Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 438 The Trump Card Turns into a Useless Card

The suited man said, "Our boss hopes everyone can go home. Don't listen to Mr. Tang. Your gathering here puts the town government staff in a difficult position."

Hearing this, the faces of the villagers changed.

Although they didn't voice any disagreement, many villagers had already taken out their money, wanting to return it.

It must be said, these villagers are very simple and honest.

Once they believed someone was good, they couldn't be easily bought.

They valued relationships highly, not just money.

They might not earn ten thousand yuan in a year, but they would rather give up that money than not help Tang Zhenshan, the living bodhisattva who had once been kind to them.

The suited man seemed to have anticipated such a response, so he continued, "Of course, as I just mentioned, the intent of our boss is to have a discussion with everyone. It's alright if you don't agree. The money has already been handed to you, it's the boss's goodwill, and giving you the money has nothing to do with what I mentioned before.

We won't force anyone to do anything just because we've given out money. Here, I wish all the villagers a better and better life. We'll be leaving now, goodbye."

Having finished speaking, the two suited men closed the trunk of the SUV, got into the car, and drove away.

The villagers watched the SUV drive off, holding the money and standing there looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

A villager couldn't help but ask the village chief, "Chief, what should we do now?"

Furrowing his brow, the village chief looked at the ten thousand yuan in his hand and was silent for a long time before finally saying, "Mr. Tang is a good person, and the boss who just brought us the money is also a good person. Since they now have different viewpoints, it's best that we don't help either side, so we can be fair to them both."

Someone asked, "So are we going home then?"

The village chief nodded, "Go home, it's late. Tell everyone not to squander the money, save it for the children's education. Anyone who misuses it will have to face a lashing at the ancestral hall!"

After saying this, the village chief, bent over with age, began to walk away.

The other villagers looked at one another and also prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Feng Lei's face turned ashen.

He had not anticipated that Tang Zhenshan's trump card would be broken like this.

He absolutely couldn't let these people leave; otherwise, Tang Zhenshan would be completely finished.

So, he hurried after them and blocked the village chief's path, saying, "Chief, you know how Mr. Tang has been treating everyone over the years. Now that Mr. Tang needs you, how can you just leave now?"

The other villagers who wanted to leave stopped in their tracks.

The village chief's face was full of guilt, but he still said, "Young man, we have already come here and expressed our thoughts to the officials, and they said they will resolve Mr. Tang's issues. If we stay here, it would be unfair to the boss who just handed out the money to us. He gave us the money anonymously and didn't force us to do anything. He's a truly good person."

Feng Lei's face darkened, "Do you think Mr. Tang is coercing you into doing something, and he's no longer a good person? Fine, fine, fine, since you've said that about Mr. Tang, then I won't hold back. I'm putting it out there: if any of you leave now, beware your houses might catch fire, your children might get hurt!"

The village chief's expression changed, "Are you threatening us?!"

Feng Lei snorted, "This is your own ungrateful doing. For so many years, you've benefited from Mr. Tang's kindness, and now you're not willing to help him. Let me tell you if you want to keep your homes safe, then stay here until Mr. Tang is out of trouble."

The village chief looked very troubled, his face twisted in conflict.

Looking at the ten thousand yuan in his hand, it felt like he was holding a hot potato.

Just then, a thunderous shout came from the side: "So it's you, riling up the villagers and now even threatening them. You've got some nerve!"

Feng Lei's heart skipped a beat, and turning his head, he saw the two suited men who had driven away earlier, now returning with two police officers.

This is bad!

Feng Lei took to his heels, but the quick-handed village chief grabbed him.

Despite being old, the village chief was strong from years of farming, and for the moment, Feng Lei couldn't break free.

The village chief had come to understand; Feng Lei had gathered them here with ill intentions.

Mr. Tang had helped them in the past, but it was only so that one day, should trouble arise, they would cause a commotion to aid Mr. Tang's escape.

That Mr. Tang, in offering his help, had ulterior motives.

Otherwise, he would not have blatantly threatened them.

As for such a person, the village chief naturally had no good feelings.

So, it was absolutely imperative that Feng Lei not be allowed to escape.

The police arrived immediately and subdued Feng Lei.

Afterward, they disclosed the inside story, which was almost what the village chief had suspected.

With Feng Lei's threat looming, Mr. Tang's towering image had already collapsed, turning him into someone who was using them.

Thus, the villagers were easily persuaded to return home.

Seeing the villagers leave, the town government staff finally breathed a sigh of relief.

...

The Tang Family.

The Tang family was already in a state of turmoil.

Experience more tales on empire

Yet, Tang Zhenshan was still lounging in his own little home, legs crossed, smoking a cigar, sipping red wine.

He proudly said to the police nearby, "You guys might as well go back, you're just wasting your time here. Believe it or not, you'll soon get a phone call ordering you to let me go."

For many years, his greatest pride had been this contingency plan.

With this trump card, no matter how grievous his actions, the authorities wouldn't dare to touch him.

Unless, the authorities could ignore those villagers.

If he were to be caught, those villagers would erupt.

Should anything happen, no one would be able to withstand it.

Only he had thought of this strategy and had taken action to implement it.

This was not something ordinary people could do, not even many prominent figures could manage it.

With this move alone, he even had some prideful capital in front of many big shots.

His ingenuity was destined to become a focal point of discussion among many important people.

Even though he was about to leave, leaving behind a legacy that many influential figures would talk about in awe was not too bad.

The police officers said nothing.

To be honest, watching Tang Zhenshan revel in his pride was truly torturous for them.

Tang Zhenshan laughed arrogantly again, "Soon I'll head straight to the airport and fly to the beautiful country. My life there will be even better than it is now. You might not know, but I have a son in the beautiful country. He's an elite on Wall Street in New City, working in finance, truly powerful.

From now on, I will enjoy my life in the beautiful country, and maybe come back if I get the chance. That Xu Yang is to blame for my situation, and I will have my revenge."

The police officers remained silent.

Tang Zhenshan felt he had boasted enough in front of the officers, so he picked up his phone and dialed Xu Yang's number.

The call connected quickly.

Immediately, Tang Zhenshan said, "Xu Yang, how about that, if you're capable, break through my trump card, hahaha!"

Xu Yang replied, "Why are you so pleased with yourself? Your trump card is already a dead card."

He had just received notice that the villagers had already dispersed.

The police had not yet arrested Tang Zhenshan, probably because they hadn't been notified yet, but it should happen soon.
