Chapter 671 Confusing
"You can sleep in the bed, I'll just sit here for the night." With that, Wang Yang sat down at the living room table and poured himself a glass of water.

"How can that be? Come on up, let's sleep together. This bed is quite big. We slept in the same bed at my house before, didn't we?"

Seeing that Wang Yang was still hesitant, Wang Yunyi continued to persuade him.

"You've been fighting all day, you must be tired. We've also climbed this mountain for so long, and besides, getting down tomorrow probably won't be easy!"

When Wang Yang heard what she said, he thought it made sense, so he nodded and got into bed. However, he only curled up in one corner of the bed, taking up very little space.

Seeing that Wang Yang was deliberately keeping his distance from her, Wang Yunyi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But she also understood that Wang Yang was an upright person, and since he already had a family, he would never do anything out of line.

The next morning, Wang Yang and Wang Yunyi were awakened by a clanging sound outside their door. After getting up, they found that Xiao Liu had already prepared breakfast for them.

"I'm so sorry, did we disturb you? We're cooking and it's a bit noisy here. Also, I just went to chop some firewood, and we don't have much firewood left."

As he spoke, Xiao Liu gave them a simple, honest smile.

"It's alright, we should get up at this time too."

"Here, I cooked some porridge. There's nothing fancy at home, just some simple food, please don't mind. Didn't you say you wanted to use your cell phones? There's a signal during the day."

As Xiao Liu spoke, he handed his phone to Wang Yang, who quickly took it and dialed Xiao Xue's number.

"Xiaoxue, it's me, Wang Yang."

"Where are you? I'm so worried! We've sent so many people out to look for you, but we still can't find you." Xiaoxue's voice was full of anxiety.

"Ask the village chief. There's a family here. He was sent by the village chief to guard the power station. We're staying at his house now."

"Okay, you guys stay there and don't move. I'll come find you right away!" After hanging up the phone, Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxue and the others will be here soon. Let's rest here for a while longer."

Wang Yunyi nodded, a huge weight lifted from her shoulders. Thankfully, she had made contact; otherwise, she didn't know how much longer she would have had to stay here.

"Just stay here and relax. It's very safe here. I've been living here for over a month and nothing has happened."

"Oh, right, I only chopped a little firewood yesterday before coming back. I need to go chop some more. You guys stay here. If you want something to eat for lunch, there's some in the fridge. Take a look and make something yourself."

After saying that, Xiao Liu slung the basket over his shoulder and prepared to go out.

"Okay, thank you so much!"

After Xiao Liu left, Wang Yang and Wang Yunyi sat on small stools and chatted.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​building a power station here? It's so remote."

"It's precisely because of its remote location that we want to improve everyone's lives. You don't know how hard life is for the people in this village."

At this point, Wang Yunyi fell into reminiscence. The first time she came to this village was when her grandmother brought her. Her grandmother had lived here for a while when she was young, so she always remembered it. She had visited once as a child and found that the people here were completely different from them; many things they had eaten and seen, the people here didn't have.

Later she learned that the place was so poor that the children couldn't receive a proper education. From then on, she wondered if there was any way she could help them.

After extensive research, their company found that this location was very suitable for building a power station, so Wang Yunyi made this decision.

"If that's the case, why aren't the villagers cooperating? Didn't you tell them?"

“I definitely wouldn’t tell them beforehand. First, they might not believe me even if I did, and second, I feel that this was originally my own wish, and I would be satisfied once it is fulfilled.”

Wang Yang chuckled: "In everyone's eyes, businessmen like you must be all about profit. I didn't expect you to be doing good deeds while making money."

"Actually, not all businessmen are like this. After making a certain amount of money, everyone wants to do good deeds. Like what I'm doing now, it can improve people's lives."

Wang Yunyi would never have made this trip herself if she hadn't placed great importance on this project. She had visited the village several times before.

Does your grandmother know about this?

"Not yet. I was planning to tell her after things were settled. She would be so happy to know."

At this point, Wang Yunyi felt a little regretful. She had originally hoped that if things could be expedited, she could tell her grandmother on her 80th birthday as the best birthday present. However, things were delayed because of Wang Tian and his group's trouble.

"It's okay, you can talk to Grandma properly when you go back this time. The villagers should all be signing the letter of intent by now."

Wang Yunyi nodded happily: "Yes, so I have to thank you for this!"

"It has little to do with me. I didn't build the power station; I just contributed a little."

As the two were chatting, they suddenly heard footsteps behind them. They assumed it was Xiaoxue bringing people and excitedly stood up.

But when he turned around, it was Wang Tian who had arrived!

Upon seeing Wang Tian, ​​Wang Yunyi's pupils constricted sharply. In her eyes, this man was like a demon descending from heaven.

When Wang Tian saw them, he threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"I never expected you guys to be so lucky. You fell from such a high mountain and didn't die, and you're still standing here unharmed. Wang Yang, it seems you really are a miracle doctor, truly living up to your reputation!"

Wang Yang frowned and stepped aside to shield Wang Yunyi behind him.

"What exactly do you want? Wang Tian, ​​you actually followed me all the way here?"

“Don’t you know what I want to do? You made me lose face in front of the villagers and drove me out of the village. I have to strike first.”

After returning home yesterday, Wang Tian was filled with anxiety. He was truly afraid that Wang Yunyi would fall and die. After all, she was the chairperson of such a large company, and there would definitely be a thorough investigation.

He had done so many bad things before without being caught because he had some connections with local minor officials. But the investigations in big cities are different; they could easily uncover everything about him. He didn't sleep all night, and the next morning he led his men up the mountain to find them.

When he arrived at the spot where he had fallen the day before, he found no one there, and he knew that Wang Yang must have taken Wang Yunyi and hidden away.

I was just trying my luck, but I didn't expect to actually find them here.

"You're quite confident. Do you think the villagers' impression of you will improve just because I'm gone? Someone like you who has committed all sorts of evil deeds should go to jail!"

"Whether you go to jail or not is not up to you. Let me tell you, even if I beat you to death right here today, no one can report me."

Wang Tian's words were extremely arrogant. He always acted this way; as long as no one saw it, he would never admit to the bad things he had done.

"Brothers, get them! Beat them half to death!" As soon as he finished speaking, the others swarmed forward.

Wang Yang had already sustained a minor injury yesterday, and although he has improved somewhat after a day of treatment, he should not engage in strenuous exercise at this time.

"What should we do, Wang Yang? Should we run?" "Okay, but they've lived in the village for so long, they must know the way well, while we don't. Besides, you're wearing high heels, so you can't run fast."

Wang Yunyi suddenly made up her mind: "Wang Yang, don't worry about me, you run first. Xiaoxue and the others should be here soon. Even if they catch me, they can't do anything to me. I'm a woman."

“It’s not because you’re a woman. Do you know what kind of bullies they are? They’re capable of things beyond your imagination.”

Wang Yang would never accept Wang Yunyi's suggestion; even if he had to carry her on his back, he would carry her away. But there was no time to think further; the people had already rushed over.

Wang Yang shielded Wang Yunyi behind him and they began to fight.

Just then, the village chief's voice came from behind: "Wang Tian, ​​stop right there!"

The group stopped and looked around. It turned out that Xiaoxue and the village chief had arrived with a group of people, including police officers.

Xiaoxue rushed forward: "Wang Yang, are you alright?"

"I am fine."

Xiaoxue and Wang Yunyi hugged each other tightly.

"Wang Tian, ​​you've gone too far this time. You've broken the law, and we're going to arrest you!"

Wang Tian was stunned when he saw this scene. He didn't expect the village chief and the others to arrive so quickly.

“Village chief, it’s not like that. I originally came to find them, and after I found them, I wanted to take them back, but Wang Yang and the others insisted that I was a bad guy and even wanted to fight with us, so this happened. It’s a misunderstanding.”

Wang Yang sneered. He hadn't expected Wang Tian to be so quick-witted, able to come up with an excuse in this critical moment.

"Now that we have both witnesses and physical evidence, stop making excuses and take them back!" At the village chief's command, the villagers rushed forward and arrested them.

As he was being taken away, Wang Tian turned and glanced at Wang Yang, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

Back in the village chief's office, Wang Yunyi was still shaken.

"What kind of punishment will Wang Tian receive? He's terrifying, he's like a ghost that won't leave, I feel like he's everywhere!"

Wang Yang patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, he deserves it. This time he is suspected of malicious murder, although it was unsuccessful, it still constitutes a crime. In addition, the villagers will tell the truth about all the bad things he did in the past."

The village chief chimed in, "Mr. Wang, don't worry, we will definitely not let him off easily this time. We will at least sentence him to life imprisonment."

Hearing this, Wang Yunyi finally felt relieved.

"I never want to see this person again, he's terrifying!"

"By the way, Xiaoxue, how come you couldn't find us all night? This hill isn't that big."

Speaking of this, Xiaoxue really regretted not kicking Wang Tian a few more times.

"You didn't come back yesterday afternoon, so the village chief and I sent some people out to look for you. Who would have thought that Wang Tian's men had infiltrated the search party?"...

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang roughly understood what was going on.

"Did he deliberately lead the villagers astray and then pretend he couldn't find us?"

“That’s right, that’s exactly it. We only found out about the situation when you called us the next day. We didn’t expect that Wang Tian and the others would find out about it too. He often wanders around the mountains and knows the roads here very well. He actually found a side path and got there before us.”

Wang Tian originally thought he could quickly get rid of Wang Yang and Wang Yunyi. If they returned alive, they would definitely tell the village chief about it.

"But he didn't expect that someone in the village also knew about this path, even though we set off a few minutes later than them."

"And that's how that scene just happened. This person is absolutely despicable!"

Wang Yang sighed, but this time he had done a good thing, helping the villagers get rid of a scourge, so Xia and the others no longer had to live in fear.

"No matter what, he'll never appear in front of me again. Let's stop thinking about it and go back!"

"Yes, the company called me several times, saying there's an important meeting I need to attend. Are you guys still going home?"

Wang Yang glanced at Wang Yunyi.

"We still need to go back and tell Grandma. If all goes well, we can go back tomorrow."

Wang Yang nodded, hiding his excitement. He would see Qin Tongtong tomorrow when he got back. He hadn't seen her for several days and really missed her.

Before going home, Wang Yunyi went to the mall to buy a new outfit. She didn't want her family to see her looking so disheveled. If her grandmother saw her, she would definitely ask all sorts of questions.

After tidying up, the two returned home, just as their family was preparing to eat.

"Why didn't they tell us they were coming back? Quick! Get them the bowls and chopsticks. Did things go smoothly this time?" The old lady asked with a smile as soon as she saw Wang Yunyi and Wang Yang.

"Everything went smoothly, Grandma. I have some great news to tell you. Do you remember that little village you used to take me to when I was little?"

The old woman frowned and thought for a moment: "You mean the village where I used to work? I remember, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you always complain about how bad the environment was in that village? My company built a power station there, and the villagers have all moved into a residential community."

Upon hearing this, the old lady was so surprised that she put down her chopsticks.

"Really? Then that village will be gone?"

"Of course not, it's just that the conditions in that village were so bad that the children couldn't go to school properly. Now that new houses have been built for them, they can go to school properly just like the children in the city."

Upon hearing this, the old lady clapped her hands with joy.

"Oh my, this is such a wonderful thing! Why didn't you tell me sooner? Was this trip to deal with the power plant?"

Wang Yunyi nodded, and the old lady began to complain about her again.

"Why didn't you tell me about something this big? I should have gone with you!"

Wang Yunyi thought to herself, "Luckily, I didn't take my grandma with me. So many things have happened. If I had taken her, things would have been terrible."

“Grandma, I’ll take you there once the house is finished. It will be a completely different place then.”

"Good, good, good, my granddaughter is really promising. You two should stay home a few more days. But if you ask me, you should hurry up and hold your wedding!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang immediately lowered his head and pretended to start eating. Seeing his timid and hesitant demeanor, Wang Yunyi found it somewhat amusing.
