306 No Objections
After a while, the recording was coming to an end, and the contract with Buddy’s signature had been passed around by the dozens of Qinghe Village residents. The entire meeting room fell silent.
The villagers of Qinghe Village were all quiet. The atmosphere gradually became oppressive and no one was willing to speak.
If there was still room for negotiation for Buddy vandalizing Chu Ning’s car, there was no possibility of forgiveness for him selling the collective land of Qinghe Village.
The reason why they were furious and scolded Buddy was actually to put on a show for Chu Ning, hoping to get her forgiveness.
But now they were quiet, which meant that they themselves couldn’t forgive Buddy. It was a matter of principle.
What Buddy had done meant that he was only concerned about money. He didn’t care about Qinghe Village or the residents of Qinghe Village.
Even though this was a trap set by Chu Ning, for the Qinghe villagers, there was no choice nor room for discussion! In the face of the collective interests of Qinghe Village, everyone else had to make concessions.
“Everyone, please express your opinions.” Wen An looked at the people in the meeting room and spoke with a calm expression.
“Let’s go through the legal process. I’m already dead inside.”
“He’s really inhuman…”
“We don’t have to protect such an extremely selfish person.”
“Bah! He’s worse than an animal!”
“Alright, since no one has any objections, I’ll call the police now,” Wen An said softly.
“Don’t we need to inform Buddy?” a villager from Qinghe Village asked hesitatingly.
However, his words immediately attracted the attention of dozens of people in the conference room.
“Is there something going on between the two of you?”
“Should we inform him at this time so that he can get ready to escape?”
“You still want to protect him at this time?”
“Do you also want to betray Qinghe Village?”
The group of Qinghe villagers’ questions left the first person speechless.
Chu Ning looked on indifferently at the goings-on. Once Buddy was caught, with his intelligence and courage, he would reveal everything he knew once he was in the police station, including how Yang Feng’s subordinate had bribed the residents of Qinghe Village to make things difficult for Chu Ning.
Chu Ning’s real purpose was to use this incident to warn Yang Feng that she was not easy to bully. If there was a next time, Chu Ning would target Yang Feng directly!
On the other side, Buddy was enjoying his last moments of freedom in his drab and dirty house.
Buddy was sitting on the bed. There was a small table beside the bed, and all kinds of food were placed on the table.
He did not know that it would not be long before a group of ‘special people’ would be visiting him.
“That Huang Fang is really stupid, or is my luck just too good? He’s willing to give me a million yuan just for a piece of uncultivated land! I’m going to live a comfortable life from now on. I don’t want to stay in such a shabby place like Qinghe Village anymore!” Buddy looked around. This house had been left to him by his deceased parents.
Buddy didn’t want to live here. Because of his laziness, he was really not liked by the residents of Qinghe Village. When he got the one million yuan, he was going to buy a house in the prosperous area of M City! He also wanted to be as glorious as the people in the city.
However, just as he was eating and fantasizing about the good days ahead, he received a phone call.
When Buddy saw the caller ID, he was stunned for a moment, but then he became excited again. This was a call from the person who had given him 500,000 yuan to deal with Chu Ning in Qinghe Village.
“If you’re in Qinghe Village, pack your things quickly and leave. The police will arrest you.” Just as Buddy was about to reply, a beeping sound came from the other end of the phone. The other party had hung up.
Buddy returned the call to the other party, but it kept showing that the call was not going through. Obviously, the other party had blocked him after making the call.
“Bah! What is this!” Buddy said viciously into the phone.
Of course, Buddy didn’t take the other party’s words to heart. This was Qinghe Village, and he hadn’t broken the law. Even if he had, he hadn’t left any evidence, so the police wouldn’t come to arrest him.
The moment Yang Feng’s subordinate received the message from the other resident of Qinghe Village, he immediately made a call to Buddy. After the phone call, he completely blocked Buddy. He wasn’t sure if the other party believed him.
“I hope this idiot doesn’t get caught.” Yang Feng’s subordinate sighed, even though he knew the chances were slim.
Not long after, Buddy appeared in the interrogation room of the police station with an ashen face and in a pair of handcuffs.
