The village committee of Lanshan Village is located in the center of the village, a three-story small building whose interior decoration, compared to those ordinary houses in Lanshan Village, can be called luxurious, the disparity was simply too great.In the big yard of the village committee, there parked an Audi A6, a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and several Volkswagen sedans among others.

In fact, in a place like Lanshan Village, even driving an ordinary car was quite a status symbol; for example, when Ye Ling returned, even though he was driving a Chery, it attracted many envious glances.
The number of people in the village who owned a car could be counted on one hand, which highlighted just how poor Lanshan Village was.
But inside this village committee courtyard, there were quite a few cars parked out in the open, and among them, the Audi A6 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, compared to ordinary cars, definitely qualified as luxury vehicles.
"Whose cars are these?"
The Range Rover stopped at the entrance of the village committee building, driven by Li Dazhu. Ye Ling asked.
"Who else could they belong to?"
Li Dazhu sneered, "That Mercedes-Benz E-Class is Li Kun's, the Audi A6 is said to be a government car, and those Volkswagens and whatnot belong to Li Lin, Li Cheng, Lan Shumei, and others."
"Li Lin? Li Cheng? They're Li Kun's real brothers, right?" Ye Ling frowned.
"Yeah, Li Kun is the Party Secretary, Li Lin the Village Chief, Li Cheng the village accountant, and Lan Shumei is Li Kun's wife and also the director of the Women's Federation in the village," Li Dazhu said.
"It seems like all the somewhat powerful positions in our village are occupied by their family. They're siphoning off the benefits without anyone being the wiser!"
A cold smile appeared on Ye Ling's face.
"You don't have to feel it's unfair. That's just how it is now. Those without the means think these corrupt officials are oppressing the common people; those with the means become corrupt with them."
Shen Yuexin, sitting in the backseat, spoke indifferently.
"I don't feel it's unfair."
Ye Ling shook his head and said, "I don't care if they oppress other people, but when they bully my family and my brothers, then I must intervene."
"I've started recording with my phone. Dazhu, when you go in, just ask for the contract, and ignore everything else."
Li Dazhu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Li Kun keeps more than a dozen good-for-nothing young thugs around. If anything serious happens, just the three of us... it might be difficult, right?"
"Are you scared?"
Ye Ling glared at Li Dazhu and said, "That's unexpected. You used to be fearless, how come you've regressed with age?"
"Damn, I would be afraid of these sons of bitches?"
Li Dazhu glanced at Shen Yuexin and said, "What I mean is, we should first take the Miss Shen back home. Just the two of us, we can make a scene however we want, and the worst-case scenario is getting beaten up."
"Don't worry about me, they wouldn't dare lay a hand on me," Shen Yuexin said calmly.
Li Dazhu smacked his forehead, "Right, even Captain Ma treated you with such respect, if Li Kun and his lot knew your identity, they wouldn't dare let out a fart."
"Buzz~"
Li Dazhu pressed the gas pedal, and the Range Rover's engine immediately roared, sending the vehicle charging into the yard.
Inside the yard, there were quite a few people loitering around, looking very young, but all dressed in trendy clothes. At a glance, there were more than ten of them, most with cigarettes dangling from their mouths.
Seeing the Range Rover drive in, their eyes lit up; after all, it was a luxury car worth a million.
However, upon seeing the people who got out of the car, they all paused in surprise.
"Is that him?"
"I think his name is Li Dazhu, right?"
"The village hasn't even been demolished yet, where did he get the money to buy such an expensive car?"
A young lad came running over with a cheeky smile, "Is that you, Brother Dazhu? Nice car, when did you get it?"
"It was given to me by someone else."
Li Dazhu replied irritably.
He clearly remembered how, when Li Kun withheld his contract and he got angry, these young lads had all surrounded him.
The one who spoke was at the forefront, so Li Dazhu's memory was particularly fresh.

Now they see him driving a Range Rover and they call him 'Big Brother Dazhu'?
"Big Brother Dazhu is really something. If only someone would gift me a luxury car like this," said the young man.
"Bro, could you please tell me if Li Kun is inside?"
Ye Ling wound down the window and waved to the young man.
"Oh, you mean Secretary Li? He's inside."
The young man said, "Big Brother, do you need him for something? Should I go and give him a heads-up?"
"No need."
Ye Ling and Li Dazhu got out of the car, with Shen Yuexin following them.
When the young man caught sight of Shen Yuexin, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The other dozen or so people also had their eyes shining, their gaze lingering on Shen Yuexin and refusing to move away.
Seeing this, Ye Ling scoffed but did not say much.
The three of them entered the building and went straight to the office of the village committee secretary, not even knocking before entering.
Unexpectedly, not only Li Kun was inside, but there was also a young girl.
This girl appeared to be around twenty-three or twenty-four, sitting on Li Kun's lap with flushed cheeks and her head bowed shyly.
Meanwhile, Li Kun's hands were moving up and down her body; it was clear they were engaged in some indecent act.
The entrance of Ye Ling and the others caught the two in the office by surprise.
"Secretary Li, enjoying yourself, I see..." Ye Ling said with a faint smile.
Li Kun and the girl both snapped back to reality.
Quickly standing up, the girl straightened her clothes.
Li Kun's expression darkened as he said, "Xiao Yun, go outside for a bit."
"Okay."
With a soft reply and flushed with embarrassment, the girl hurried out.
"Li Dazhu?"
After the girl left, Li Kun looked at Li Dazhu with dissatisfaction and said, "What's this, barging in without even knocking? Where are your manners?"
"If we had knocked, wouldn't we have missed this scene?"
Li Dazhu didn't speak, but Ye Ling interjected, "Secretary Li, you're not so young anymore, yet your desire is still so strong to be doing such things in broad daylight. It seems to me that you should have a bed in here too!"
"You're Ye Ling, right?" Li Kun frowned at Ye Ling.
Ye Ling smiled and nodded, "I'm flattered that Secretary Li still remembers me. I thought only young girls were in your sight."
Hearing this, Li Kun's face grew even more somber.
"What are you here for? If you have something to say, say it quick. I still have paperwork to deal with."
"Secretary Li doesn't look too busy to me. How come the moment we arrive, you need to deal with paperwork?" Ye Ling commented.
Li Kun showed a chilling intent as he glared at Ye Ling, "What's with the sarcastic tone? Speak your mind quickly, or get out immediately."
"Get out?"
Ye Ling suddenly raised his voice, "Isn't this village committee built with the village's money? And now it's become your own? You tell me to get out and I just leave? Am I not a villager of Lanshan Village?"
