Chapter 1395 - 1444: The Crisis of Cang Village
Arriving at the village entrance, they saw a large group of cars approaching in the distance, big and small, sedans and jeeps, followed by bulldozers and excavators, totaling nearly ten vehicles. Judging by the speed, they would reach the village entrance in a few minutes.
The villagers’ faces changed upon seeing those cars, but they quickly replaced the look with intense anger and hatred. Some already started cursing, while Seventh Uncle rallied the village elders around him. These people stood at the forefront, each holding a stick or similar weapon, their faces full of resentment.
The young people wanted to stand at the front, but after a few yells from Seventh Uncle, they had to comply with orders.
The guide was peering from the entrance; seeing Li Yifei, he rushed over and tried to pull him away.
Li Yifei grabbed him and asked, "What’s really happening?"
The guide shook his head and replied, "I’m not too sure, maybe it’s about land acquisition. Mr. Li, we should leave. Seeing those people’s expressions, there might be a conflict soon, and it could get bloody. We are not safe here."
Li Yifei thought to himself he hadn’t gotten the information he wanted yet, so he couldn’t leave now. He shook his head and said, "Drive away a bit for now, I’ll stay here for a look."
The guide didn’t know Li Yifei’s intent and merely thought he was trying to watch the spectacle. His expression turned sour as he said, "Mr. Li, really, you shouldn’t watch this commotion. You’re not from around here, and you don’t understand the situation in the Central Plains. Some people cannot be offended, and even if something happens, they’re not afraid. In recent years, incidents have occurred due to land acquisition and similar matters, but they were never resolved satisfactorily. Since you’ve hired me, I have to ensure your safety."
Li Yifei chuckled and reassured him, "I know some martial arts, so nothing will happen. Even if there’s trouble, I’ll just dodge it. You go ahead and drive away; when it’s over, come back to pick me up."
The guide couldn’t persuade Li Yifei further and worried about his car, so he nodded in agreement, saying, "Then you must be careful. If a conflict breaks out, don’t rush forward; it’s not a game. News about people dying in such conflicts is everywhere!"
"Yes, go ahead!"
