470 Anticipation and Destruction
Elsewhere, the three civil servants from the Agricultural Bureau were already panting.
Even though they had only walked a short distance, they were already feeling a little tired.
They had been sitting in the office for many years, and now they were under the sun in the morning. It was a great burden for their frail bodies to walk all the way from the village entrance.
“Duan Lei, why don’t we take a break? Anyway, the stuff is planted there and the place is very obscure. It won’t grow legs and run away. It’s fine if we slow down slightly,” Wang Shou asked while gasping for breath.
“Rest? I was preparing to run there! Who knows if that Wen An would notice something in advance and thus be prepared? You must know that we’re outsiders and not familiar with the whole Qinghe Village. The residents of Qinghe Village are not like us. If they act fast, it will be too late by the time we arrive!” Duan Lei also wiped the sweat from his face. He was also out of breath, but this was not sitting in the office and leisurely dealing with documents. He could not relax at all.
“Alright then, it’s fine if we don’t rest, but we can’t run. If we run, I’ll die.” Zhao Ran suggested a compromise, which was to continue walking withoutrunning or stopping to rest.
“Let’s go, don’t waste time!” Duan Lei urged.
As long as they reached their destination and took a few photos, their mission would be completed.
At this moment, Yang Jing, who was following behind, also looked anxious.
She was now even more certain that these three people had come prepared.
This was why she could only be the village chief’s assistant while Wen An was the village chief.
In the face of danger, Wen An was able to remain unflappable, analyze the results, and effectively resolve the issue.
He just disdained to play dirty tricks. A person with firm beliefs like Wen An would never accept Zhou Hao’s way of doing things.
Some place else, several residents of Qinghe Village rushed to the ditch, wheezing.
They quickly searched the area and did not find anything. They then turned their attention to the compact elm forest.
At this time, the trio from the Agricultural Bureau were about ten minutes away.
If they started running, they might be able to reach in three minutes.
However, they did not expect that Wen An had accurately predicted their final destination.
“Old Cai! It’s really bad. Look at what’s over there!” At this moment, a villager from Qinghe Village was looking with shock at the green plants that had suddenly appeared in the elm forest.
Under the cover of the elm forest, if one did not walk in, one would not notice the abnormality in this area.
Moreover, someone had planted it there the night before…
“D*** it! Which wicked thing planted this in our Qinghe Village! This is going to put the entire Qinghe Village in a desperate situation!”
“What an animal! If this is discovered, this small area will be enough to put us in jail!” Two others also had on ugly expressions, their faces were even slightly pale.
They were frightened by the sudden appearance of the green plants.
“Hurry up, let’s move in! We have to take this away and completely destroy it!” The last person looked resolute.
He took the shovel in his hand and went straight to the small patch of green plants in front of him.
“Quick, we can’t waste a second!” The other three people were also shocked.
At first glance, this small patch of green plants looked no different from ordinary crops. They even looked to be growing very well.
But as farmers, they knew what it was. It was cannabis! The raw materials for making drugs!
If people knew that they had this in Qinghe Village, they could forget about developing well.
This plant was an extremely controlled substance, and if the scale reached a certain level, it was very likely that they would be sentenced to death!
The moment the four Qinghe villagers saw the plant, their first reaction was immense fear.
Their lives had finally taken a turn for the better, and they could earn money by doing decent business. Who would be willing to touch this unlucky thing?
Growing cannabis was no laughing matter. This was really exchanging their lives for money!
They wanted to kill the person who had framed them, but for now, getting rid of these things was more urgent.
They couldn’t help but increase their speed when they thought of this.
Fortunately, the plot that the cannabis was planted on wasn’t very large, so it was almost done in no time.
