403 Fishing
“Village Chief Cao, how far is this place from the Chu residence?” Chu Yang asked again with a smile.
“Probably… It’s about 600 meters.” Cao Xing came to this conclusion after some simple calculations in his mind.
“Hmm, it’s alright. It’s not very far,” Chu Yang said.
He then stood up. He looked round the room at the trembling villagers.
“All of you, kneel down!” Cao Xing suddenly turned and shouted imposingly.
“Sir, they are blocking your view when you stand,” Cao Xing then explained in a soft and flattering voice.
“That’s right, but all of you can stand up now and go to the Chu residence to pay your respects again. However, you’re not going as guests this time; you’ll have to kneel on the empty field outside. If there’s anyone who can’t do it, you can let me know. I’ll send you to accompany Old Mr. Chu now,” Chu Yang said as he walked out of the room with Chu Se.
Chu Yang did not care whether these people would agree to his conditions.
Even their leader, Cao Xing, was scared out of his wits, let alone the ordinary villagers.
If there were a few among them who were determined not to yield, Chu Yang would not have been as successful as he was now.
However, the actual situation was that if such a person really appeared, the position of village chief would not be Cao Xing’s.
Under the threat of death, these people chose to be obedient.
If they had been in M City, Chu Yang would not have been able to shoot at will like he was doing now, let alone carry the gun with him.
However, in Laoshan Village, these people didn’t even have the concept of law. They would listen to whoever had greater clout.
Before Chu Yang came, Cao Xing was the most powerful person in the Laoshan Village, but now he had no choice but to listen to Chu Yang.
Elsewhere, Cao Yun did not know what had happened in his house.
At this time, he and the young man were fishing in a small creek not far from home.
“Cao Yun, stop fishing. I think your dad and the others have gone to the Chu residence!” The young man dropped the bamboo pole in his hand and pointed at a group of people a short distance away.
“They’ve decided so quickly?” Cao Yun also gently put down the bamboo pole in his hand and looked in the direction that the youth was pointing.
The path that Cao Xing was taking was indeed the path to the Chu residence.
“I told you, Cao Yun. Tell me what you’re worried about. As long as you’re in Laoshan Village, your village chief father will get you anything you want. Tsk, tsk, only a few of the Chu family members came back this time. Your dad is bringing such a big group of people to cause trouble; they’d be scared to death,” the young man lamented.
“I’m not worried. I just don’t want to force her,” Cao Yun said with a hint of desolation.
“Come on, if you don’t want it, I’m thinking of it.” The young man pouted. It was obvious that he was also drooling over Chu Ning’s beauty.
“Get lost, she’s mine!” Cao Yun abruptly cursed.
“Alright, she’s yours. That’s the way,” the young man said with a smile.
“Should we follow them and take a look?” the young man continued.
“No, let’s continue fishing. We’ll just wait for the good news. As long as this is still Laoshan Village, only my dad can call the shots. Laoshan Village’s surname is Cao!” Cao Yun suddenly said confidently.
After all, accidents would not happen a second time.
The reason Cao Xing hadn’t brought anyone with him the first time was because he hadn’t expected Chu Ming to reject him and even hit him.
Cao Yun also had not expected that.
“This time, it won’t be by luck or accident,” Cao Yun thought to himself.
Although he was fishing, his mind was not on the waters nor the fish in front of him.
His mind was filled with Chu Ning’s tall figure and her almost perfect face…
“By the way, you really don’t want your fiancée anymore?” The young man nudged Cao Yun’s arm again and asked with uncertainty.
“Not anymore. There’s no comparison.” Cao Yun shook his head.
“Good fellow, you change your mind faster than flipping the pages of a book. A few days ago, you were still proudly telling me that there was no one more beautiful than your fiancée within a few dozen miles. Now you’ve changed your mind?” the young man said sarcastically.
“Changes happen all the time, don’t they?” Cao Yun ignored the teenager’s mocking and said with a smile.
“That’s true, changes do happen all the time.” As the young man spoke, he watched Cao Xing and his group slowly disappear from his sight.
It was just that he and Cao Yun did not notice that, at the back of the line, there were two unfamiliar foreign visitors who were particularly leisurely.
They laughed and chatted as they walked.
On the other hand, Cao Xing, who was walking at the front of the group, had a sorrowful look on his face.
He was really heartbroken and upset.
