Sure enough, things went just as Chen Yang had predicted.

After the three MPVs drove to the village entrance, over a dozen bodyguards in suits immediately got out of the cars.

They disembarked and pushed open the trunks and side doors of the vehicles.

Inside, stacks upon stacks of cash piled up like mountains were revealed!

Hundreds of villagers gathered on site, most of whom had lived in Liuhe Village since childhood and hadn't seen much of the outside world, let alone this much money.

Seeing the piles of money right before their eyes, everyone was stunned.

The shock that hit them was immense.

And the impact wasn't just on them; even Village Chief Ma and others standing beside Chen Yang and Wu Kexin were astonished!

Where had they ever seen so much money before!

Whoa...

Just as everyone was in shock, the sliding door of the middle vehicle was pushed open.

Gu Xuanyu, dressed in designer suits and impeccably groomed, stepped out of the car with a slight smile.

After getting out, he slightly adjusted the tie on his chest, and then suddenly pointed at Chen Yang, loudly proclaiming, "Everyone, do not be deceived by Chen Yang! Do not sign this document today, or your land, which you rely on for survival, will lose its value entirely!"

It was dead silent at the scene, and Gu Xuanyu's words were like a heavy bomb dropped into the crowd, causing an instant explosion.

Chen Yang and Wu Kexin hadn't anticipated this situation either.

He had only thought Gu Xuanyu came to stir up trouble, but didn't expect such a statement right off the bat.

Seeing the scene become chaotic, Chen Yang would naturally not stand by idle and let the situation develop on its own.

He urgently led Wu Kexin and Village Chief Ma towards Gu Xuanyu.

"Gu Xuanyu, can you be responsible for what you said? How is Chen Yang a fraud? You better give a reasonable explanation," Wu Kexin questioned Gu Xuanyu angrily.

Chen Yang initially intended to speak.

But since Wu Kexin had already opened her mouth, he naturally didn't repeat what was said.

He stood silently by, coldly watching Gu Xuanyu.

Facing Wu Kexin's questioning, Gu Xuanyu still maintained a slight smile.

"I can certainly be responsible for what I said, and I will give you a reasonable explanation," Gu Xuanyu said smiling.

"Alright, then give your explanation. Chen Yang and I, along with thousands of villagers present, all want to hear your reasonable explanation," Wu Kexin said angrily.

Gu Xuanyu continued to smile, seeming very confident.

"Alright, let me give you an explanation," Gu Xuanyu agreed, then turned his gaze towards the puzzled villagers and said, "Folks, what I said earlier was not without evidence!"

"I believe everyone already knows the news that your village is about to become a top-tier tourist development site, but you only know how this policy will bring you immense benefits."

"But have you considered what you must sacrifice before gaining these immense benefits? Do you know how much money is required for the construction of a tourist area?"

Gu Xuanyu's words made the scene noisy again.

The villagers looked at each other, realizing the problem.

Seeing the effectiveness of his words, Gu Xuanyu immediately pressed ahead and continued speaking.

"Everyone should know my identity; I have roughly estimated the development construction in your village! To actually profit, at least five billion must be invested initially! Can you afford this much money?"

Gu Xuanyu spoke passionately.

His mention of five billion was like a bomb exploding instantaneously among the crowd.

"My goodness, five billion... That's such an astronomical amount, where do we have that much money..."

"The investment is way too much, truly frightening, I wouldn't even dare dream of this much money."

...

The scene instantly buzzed with discussion, and many people's hearts even began to waver.

At this moment, Gu Xuanyu showed an accomplished smile, once again shifting the focus towards Chen Yang: "I trust that everyone doesn't believe me when I say Chen Yang is a fraud."

"Then allow me to tell all of you, Chen Yang is aware that the resort requires massive investment! Yet, without being able to provide investment or find investors, he still asks the villagers to invest in his company, isn't this harming everyone?"

"He can't provide this much investment money, and by then your land will be gone, you'll end up with nothing! Isn't this a scam?"

Gu Xuanyu passionately and self-righteously pointed at Chen Yang in front of the villagers, loudly accusing him.

Upon hearing his words, the villagers really began to panic.

They believed in Chen Yang but knew clearly that Chen Yang could never come up with five billion.

Five billion! It was not overstating to call it a tremendous fortune in their eyes.

"Gu Xuanyu, is this your reason for calling Chen Yang a fraud? Chen Yang isn't able to provide that much money, but can't he find investors? We have a good project in hand, why should we fear no one will invest?" Seeing the thoughts of everyone at the scene waver, Wu Kexin immediately counterattacked, questioning Gu Xuanyu.

Though the villagers hadn't seen much of the world, they had some basic understanding of these matters.

"Exactly, Yang Zi can find investors, and Yang Zi already intended to give shares to investors earlier!" Upon hearing Wu Kexin's words, someone suddenly realized, starting to speak on behalf of Chen Yang.

But hearing this, Gu Xuanyu again coldly smiled and said, "You're right; normally, if you have a profitable project in hand, you can indeed seek investors."

"But this is precisely what I'm going to tell everyone is one of the proofs that Chen Yang deceived you all."

Wu Kexin was astonished upon hearing this: "How do you mean?"

"Miss Wu, do you know the Murong Family in Capital City?" Gu Xuanyu turned to look at Wu Kexin.

Not knowing what he was up to, Wu Kexin merely nodded, indicating she knew, without saying anything.

"The Murong Group, the largest global tourism company, actually came to discuss village development matters with Chen Yang a few days ago! But Chen Yang, for his own interests, risked offending the Murong Family; now they are furious and have begun boycotting Chen Yang in the investment world, he won't get a penny from the outside!" Gu Xuanyu delivered Wu Kexin a firm response, then looked at the astounded villagers, saying: "Now, he intends to pull you all down with him, making you bear the consequences together."

"Tell me, isn't he a fraud? And furthermore, a heartless, despicable fraud!"

Gu Xuanyu's words were both damaging and disheartening.

He instantly depicted the banquet incident as a huge conspiracy.

Despite being unwilling to believe it, the thousands of villagers at the scene couldn't help but panic.

Even Wu Kexin was astonished!
