469 A New Crisis

“Then, should I add your name to this list?” Wen An pointed at the documents on the table and asked his assistant.

“No, I’m just joking.” The assistant hurriedly waved her hands. She was merely complaining.

“Alright, you should go and make some preparations. I’ll go out and welcome them when they arrive.” Wen An smiled and then continued to focus on the archives before him.

Half an hour later, three uniformed civil servants from the Agricultural Bureau appeared at the entrance of Qinghe Village.

Their purpose for coming that day was very clear. They were there to make trouble in Qinghe Village.

Moreover, this was an order from their direct superior. However, it was unknown who this direct superior was listening to.

“Qinghe Village has been doing great recently. There must be something wrong. Otherwise, how could it develop so quickly?” A fair-faced civil servant with long and narrow eyes spoke up first.

“Don’t forget the demands from the higher-ups.” Another civil servant pushed up his glasses and said in a serious tone.

The last person looked in a particular direction of Qinghe Village, narrowed his eyes, and spoke in a low voice, “Zhao Ran, Wang Shou, stop chatting. Hurry up and go in. Don’t waste time. If things change, you know that the three of us won’t be able to bear the consequences of not being able to complete the mission.”

After the pair heard this, they instantly fell silent.

If they did this well, not only would they have their year-end bonus, but they would also have a high chance of being promoted.

The trio walked on the main road of Qinghe Village, attracting the attention of some of the villagers.

Then, Yang Jing, the assistant of the village chief, walked toward them with a smile and said, “Sirs, today doesn’t seem to be the routine inspection day, right?”

Even though Yang Jing was very reluctant to deal with these people, she had no choice. Since they had appeared, she had to put on a smile.

“Hmph, although today is not the day of the routine inspection, your village has gotten into trouble!” Zhao Ran, with the long and narrow eyes, coldly snorted as he spoke with a gloomy expression.

“Huh? No way, our Qinghe Village has always been law-abiding citizens.” Yang Jing put on a look of disbelief, but in reality, she had already cursed the three people in front of her.

“Bah! The people of Houtu Village can compete with them in their shamelessness!” Yang Jing thought viciously.

“Move out of the way, young lady. This is not something you can meddle in. Your village chief will be in trouble!” Wang Shou continued indifferently.

Then, the three of them ignored Yang Jing, who was blocking their way, and walked toward a particular direction in Qinghe Village.

Yang Jing watched as the three of them headed in a certain direction. Although she did not know what they were up to, it was obvious from their attitudes that it was not something good.

“Village Chief Wen, if you still don’t come, something big is going to happen,” Yang Jing said helplessly to Wen An over the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Wen An looked pensively at the open plain outside the window.

“How much more time do we need before we reach that place?” The three of them ignored the strange looks that the Qinghe villagers were giving them. Right now, they only wanted to get to that place as soon as possible.

“It’ll take about 20 minutes. Qinghe Village isn’t small, and that place is also quite remote.” Wang Shou looked at the time on his wrist and said in a deep voice.

“Yes, let’s hurry.” The person who spoke had a grave expression.

At the same time, Wen An dialed the numbers of a few Qinghe villagers.

There was no point in him stepping out to intercept them; he would only be forced into a passive position.

However, according to his assistant’s description, he quickly recalled the route that the few of them took.

According to his analysis, he sent the Qinghe villagers to two different locations to check out the situation. The small ditch was near a pond, and not far from it was an elm forest.

It was usually inaccessible. Wen An’s sharp senses told him that if there was a problem, it would most likely be at that place.

As for the other place, although the probability was smaller, he still sent the Qinghe villagers there.

The Qinghe villagers who had received Wen An’s message did not dare to be careless. In an instant, a few of the villagers closest to the ditch took their tools and ran in its direction.

They had no choice but to put in the effort.

This was because these people were the first batch of Qinghe villagers that Wen An had recommended to Chu Ning.

They were determined to listen to Wen An’s orders.
