His Stunning Doctor Wife novel Chapter 232

The village head was a man in his fifties. Hearing her words, he took out the cigarette he was smoking and gently tapped it. With a serene expression on his face, he said, "No need to rush these things! We need a slow and careful approach to deal with these matters."

Xenia Xu's mother became anxious when she heard his reply. "Sir, why the sudden slow approach? Weren't you present for the drafting of our plan? Also,the land to the back of the mountains is wild and deserted. Earlier you mentioned your high hopes of selling it. Now, my family is offering a good price. Why are you suddenly reluctant?"

The village head spoke slowly, bureaucratic and formal in tone, "The land to the back of the mountains is the communal property of the village.The acquisition of this land is a serious matter and we cannot make a hasty decision. A thorough investigation will be needed, examining all the relevant issues one at a time."

Xenia's mother face fell. She was not sure how to deal with this old scoundrel.

But Xenia was not so cordial. She said coldly,

"Sir, did Brett mention something that made you change your mind so suddenly?"

The village head responded in anger, saying, "What are you trying to imply? Are you saying that I have selfish intentions and that I am using my official authority to make things difficult for you?"

Xenia replied without tact, "If that is the case, then you should know very well then."

"You are slandering me. In that case, we have nothing to discuss.You can return home now." The village head gestured his hand in indication that they should leave. Brett Han, who was beside him, was exhilarated. Noticing that Xenia was flushing red, he could not help taunting her, "By the way, I have good news for all of you. The Han family is going to acquire the land to the back of the mountains and open a mine there. When it is ready, you can be one of the employees or workers there!"

"You..." Xenia was alarmed and glanced at the village head. "What's going on, sir? Didn't you say that you needed a slow approach to decide on the acquisition of the land? How could you have given the contract to the Han family in a split second?"

The village head replied without emotion, "The Han family's enterprise is the pride and backbone of our village. Naturally, it will require the strong support of the village." "You..." Xenia was incensed.

At this moment, a commotion outside could be heard. One could hear the sound of objects smashing and people quarreling.

Shocked, everyone went out from the village head's house to take a look at what was happening.

Close to the entrance of the village, there was an empty ground, and a group of youths who looked like gangsters were smashing up some of the cars belonging to the engineers and workers. Several of them came forward to stop them, but they were pushed aside by those gangsters and were beaten up.

When Fade Chen saw this, he immediately shouted, "Stop it!"

The leader of these men was a sturdy looking man in his thirties. He was muscular and had a savage expression on his face. He carried a steel pipe in his hand, which was stained with some blood.

"Who ordered you to smash the cars and to beat up these people?" Fade shouted.

The sturdy looking man came forward, sizing up Fade. He pointed to the smashed up cars and said, "These cars and their owners, they are related to you?"

"Yes! I just asked you, who ordered you to do this?" Fade spoke in a low voice.

The sturdy looking man spat on the ground and said, "Nobody ordered us to do this. Your cars are on top of our vegetable field. Therefore, I have to get rid of the cars to teach all of you a lesson, so how about that?"

While speaking, he pointed to the weeds under the cars. Clearly, he was blatantly lying about the situation.

"Is that a vegetable field?" Fade sneered.

"Yes it is, it's not just any ordinary plant, it is of a rare variety. Just the crop from this piece of land would be worth at least 50,000. You crushed the vegetables, so you have to compensate me. Are we clear on that?" The sturdy looking man said arrogantly.

"Really?" Fade sneered in anger. "It seems to me that you are trying to extort some money through this situation."

"What can you do about it then? Does that upset you then?" The sturdy looking man stretched out his fingers and pushed against Fade's chest.
