Chapter 34: Revenge in the Cornfield
When Lin Fan drove back to the village, he saw a crowd of villagers gathered around the entrance of his home.
Everyone was watching the busy scene, occasionally whispering and discussing something, and it was not until Lin Fan reached the courtyard that he realized the original three tile-roofed houses had disappeared without a trace, and the entire yard had been leveled.
However, at this moment, a two-story wooden structure was being installed behind the site of the old houses. Its antique appearance stood out strikingly among the village’s concrete buildings. Dozens of workers were orderly conducting construction, several mixer trucks were pouring concrete, laying a concrete floor in the yard, and two rotund individuals gestured with blueprints in hand.
Lin Fan did not pay any mind to the villagers but walked into the courtyard. It wasn’t that he had become arrogant since becoming distinguished; rather, over the years he had grown accustomed to the villagers’ ugly faces. The so-called simplicity and kindness of rural people were only known to those who lived among them. Hence, he bothered not with these sanctimonious hypocrites.
He approached the two individuals giving directions and then spoke, "I’m the homeowner. Who is in charge here?"
"We’re in charge, but all of this has been arranged by Boss Xue, who emphasized that the construction deadline must be met."
The two men quickly bowed and handed Lin Fan the blueprints, saying, "These plans were drawn up overnight by the engineer. The two-story house was originally designated to be installed behind the villa at Tianhou Hotel, and the construction crew has been diverted from the tunnel project. We guarantee completion within a week."
Indeed, everything was as Lin Fan had expected. After he left to admire beauty last night, Xue Changchun had not been idle and had planned all this without any communication with him. It was clear Xue was waiting for him to call.
