CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

Seeing that they were stammering and unable to say anything, Zhou Bingliang knew that they were guilty, so he continued to press them for answers.

At this moment, one of them knew that they were doomed no matter what, so in order to fight for his own survival, he stepped forward and said to Zhou Bingliang:

.... ......... ...

“Zhao Dong made us do this. Actually, we didn’t want to fight people at first, but the people in Changguan Village wouldn’t cooperate with our work, especially the one who fought with us just now. They attacked us as soon as we came in. We only fought back in self-defense.”

Are you sure they attacked you first?

The people in front of him were sent by Zhao Ruilong, so Zhou Bingliang naturally didn't believe them. However, he couldn't dismiss what they said right away, so he started asking Gao Qilin, who was standing to the side.

But Gao Qilin only arrived after hearing the noise, so he didn't know how to answer Zhou Bingliang's question for a moment.

Just as Gao Qilin was at a loss, the burly man beside him couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, saying:

“We started it. These people acted like they had stolen something and started running wild as soon as they entered Changguan Village. We only took action for the safety of the villagers.”

"Who told you to make the first move?!"

Upon hearing that they were the ones who had done it, Zhou Bingliang looked helpless, unsure of what to say.

Chapter 382 Think of a Way

"See? I told you so. They're the ones who are blocking our work, that's why this is happening."

After hearing what the burly man said, those who had been stammering earlier gained confidence and started to speak in agreement.

"Since everyone is here, let me reiterate the purpose of our visit. The poverty alleviation program in Changguan Village has been taken over by the national authorities, and Qiangsheng Group can no longer interfere. If they do, it would be considered a violation of the rules."

At this moment, the person in charge acted as if he were in the right and recited the rhetoric that Zhao Ruilong had taught him before.

Although they hadn't received much formal education, Zhao Ruilong's words to the "510" were the result of careful consideration, leaving Zhou Bingliang momentarily at a loss for words in rebuttal.

“The things our Qiangsheng Group built in Changguan Village are all for the benefit of the people. Even if you want to take over, you can’t just tear down everything we worked so hard to build, can you?”

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Gao Qilan, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but speak out what she was thinking.

"Who knows if you had ulterior motives when you built these things? What if you initially gave them to the public for free, but then suddenly started charging them after they got used to them? How will you handle that?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Upon hearing that the other party was defaming her, Gao Qilan roared at them.

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Zhou Bingliang and the others, and said in a pleading tone:

"Aren't you two very skilled? Quickly drive them out. We can't let those kinds of people run rampant in Changguan Village."

"Yes, we can tell who treats us well and who treats us worse. Let's get rid of them quickly. As long as they're around, we won't be able to live in peace."

“You don’t know, they’ve been causing trouble every day these past few days, making it impossible for us to get a proper rest. Forget about Limin, if this continues, I don’t think we’ll even want to live here anymore.”

As soon as Gao Qilan finished speaking, the people around her chimed in, and it was clear from their words that they stood with Gao Qilan and hoped that Zhao Ruilong would stay out of the matter.

The villagers' words filled Gao Qilan with gratitude, making him feel that his efforts over the years had not been in vain. He then pressed his advantage, continuing:

"As you can see, letting them go is what the people want. Isn't the purpose of poverty alleviation for the people? We can't go against the will of the people in the name of poverty alleviation."

"This……"

The scene before them truly put Zhou Bingliang and his team in a difficult position.

Because they are also officials, they know in their hearts that they cannot disobey orders from above. Moreover, the person who just hit someone was acting entirely in self-defense and had no power to arrest them or anything.

If they force their way in, everyone present could get hurt.

Seeing that Zhou Bingliang was hesitant to make a move, Zhao Ruilong's men realized what he was afraid of and pretended to be nice.

“If you go along with us, we will make sure you live a good life, but your continued support for non-governmental organizations is frustrating for us.”

"Yes, if you can cooperate well, Changguan Village should be completely transformed now, and it will no longer be as backward as before."

After hearing what the leader said, the others understood his thinking and started to chime in...

"Don't give us any useless advice. We're not stupid. If you insist on forcing your way in, don't blame us for being impolite. We're not like those officials, afraid of this and that. We only know what kind of life we ​​want!"

However, after they finished speaking, an old man who hadn't said much before came out, pointed at their noses, and started cursing.

Upon hearing this, the villagers could no longer hold back and began to curse at them. In the blink of an eye, the entire area was filled with curses, all of them criticizing Zhao Ruilong.

Some people even took rotten vegetable leaves and eggs from their homes and threw them at them, making them look very disheveled.

"What are you doing? Stop right now! What you're doing is going to get you into a lot of trouble!"

Upon seeing their actions, Zhou Bingliang and Chen Kun quickly stepped forward to stop them.

But there were simply too many villagers; they were far beyond their ability to manage.

1.9 At this moment, Gao Qilin, who was standing to the side, had no intention of stepping forward to help, because he knew very well that the people in front of him throwing eggs at them had already done enough.

Seeing that the situation was beyond his control, Zhou Bingliang quickly ran to Gao Qilin and said:

"You'd better think of a way to stop them. If they continue to cause trouble like this, things will only get worse and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble for Changguan Village."

"They brought this on themselves. Why stop them? If they truly cared about the village, do you think those people would act this way?"

Chapter 383 It's not that I don't want to care

Because Gao Qilin and Gao Qilan were sitting very close together, Gao Qilan heard everything Zhou Bingliang said.

"This matter is not as simple as you think. Don't worry, I will definitely help you handle this matter in the future, but definitely not in this way."

After seeing Gao Qilan say that, Zhou Bingliang realized that she was the key to this matter, so he focused all his attention on her, hoping to persuade her to stop the commotion.

But Gao Qilan is in a bad mood right now, and it's already good enough that she didn't join those villagers. She has no mood to care about those things.

This meant that no matter what Zhou Bingliang said, it had no effect, leaving him at a loss for what to do.

“Gao Qilin! Elder Zhong sent us here to look after you, not to have you give us things to do. You need to resolve the current situation quickly, otherwise we won’t care about you anymore.”

Seeing that Gao Qilin remained silent, Chen Kun, who rarely spoke, finally couldn't hold back and roared at Gao Qilin.

"Don't say that. He's doing this for the good of the village chief, but he just can't seize the right opportunity right now."

Upon hearing Chen Kun's words, Zhou Bingliang quickly tried to persuade him, fearing that in such a chaotic situation, any further conflicts might arise among his own people.

After hearing what Zhou Bingliang said, Chen Kun didn't say anything more. He just focused his gaze on the crowd and quietly watched them cause trouble.

"It's not impossible to stop those people, but we have to give the poverty alleviation funds to our Qiangsheng Group and let us take over the poverty alleviation work in Changguan Village. If you let me do that, the unrest on the scene will disappear immediately."

Seeing that the villagers showed no sign of stopping, Gao Qilan realized that the matter was much more complicated than she had imagined, so she gave Zhou Bingliang a solution.

"Although I also hold a position, it's nowhere near as high as Zhao Dong's. How could I possibly have the ability to manage those things?"

"That's right. Now that things have come to this, let's talk about something practical. I don't think you'd want to see those people keep making a scene like this, would you?"

Seeing that Gao Qilan was willing to reconcile, Zhou Bingliang and the others focused all their attention on him and began to persuade him earnestly.

"These are my conditions. If you can't meet them, then this is off the table."

Despite Zhou Bingliang and his group having said all the right and wrong things, Gao Qilan still maintained a very tough attitude.

This left the two of them staring at each other, unsure of what to say.

Are you sure you want to keep making trouble like this?

Seeing that they showed no sign of stopping, Zhao Ruilong's men became very impatient and began to warn Zhou Bingliang.

Zhou Bingliang knew that if those people continued to cause trouble, they would have the right to take action, and at that time they would still be acting in self-defense.

To prevent that from happening, Zhou Bingliang said to them again:

"Everyone, please stop. Continuing like this will not do you any good and will only bring you a lot of inconvenience."

But just like the previous times, no matter what Zhou Bingliang said, the villagers ignored him and continued to throw things at them.

By this time, the vegetable leaves at their feet had already piled up into a mountain, enough to feed more than a dozen people if cooked.

Seeing that Zhou Bingliang's persuasion had no effect, the people became very impatient and said to them:

"If you don't want to stop, then don't blame us for being impolite!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader glanced to the left and right.

The people around him immediately understood what he meant, and quickly shook their bodies a few times to shake off all the vegetable leaves and eggs.

"I've already given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Since that's the case, then we'll follow the orders from above and smash everything that Qiangsheng Group built in 510!"

Upon hearing this, the men in black who had been motionless immediately began to move. Whenever they saw a public facility on the roadside, they immediately smashed it, just like the Japanese invaders entering a village.

"How could these people do such a thing? They're capable of anything."

Seeing them like this, Gao Qilin couldn't help but complain. He wanted to step forward and stop them, but he knew in his heart that he was no match for those people, so he placed all his hopes on Zhou Bingliang and his group.

Seeing that Zhou Bingliang and the others were still standing there, they immediately rushed over.

“Look at them, aren’t you going to do anything about it? If this continues, the entire Changguan Village might be destroyed.”

"It's not that I don't want to get involved, it's just that they're genuinely working for the government, and we don't have the authority to intervene."

Faced with Gao Qilin's attention, Zhou Bingliang and the others appeared quite helpless.

Chapter 384 Discovering He Can't Be Reliable

After hearing what Zhou Bingliang said, Gao Qilin could no longer hold back and started to complain.

He thought that calling Zhou Bingliang over would resolve the matter, but it turned out to be completely useless.

At this moment, Gao Qilin looked very disappointed and said to Zhou Bingliang and the others:
