The village beauty and me!

After glaring at Chen Huan, Boss Jin stopped talking to him.

With a grim face, he instructed the head of his professional team, "This time, give me a thorough examination."

"If you dare make even the slightest mistake, you'll be sorry."

The other party dared not disobey in the slightest and proceeded with the next water quality test in full swing.

Despite their cooperation, their facial expressions remained worried and helpless.

As the head of a professional testing team, he knew very well that the results just now were absolutely correct.

Although I don't know why the groundwater suddenly became so ordinary, the data from the instruments is absolutely truthful.

Even if we retest, the result will definitely be the same.

After a period of waiting, the members of the testing team all had long faces.

Looking at the data displayed on the instrument, no one dared to utter a sound.

Have you all become mute?

"How did it go?"

Boss Jin went over anxiously to urge them on.

The person in charge stepped forward with a stiff upper lip. "Mr. Jin, the result is the same as before."

"This groundwater has become very ordinary; it has absolutely no commercial value."

Mr. Jin felt a sudden dizziness, and his blood pressure soared so high that he almost fainted on the spot.

At this point, no matter how unwilling he was to believe it, he had no choice but to face reality.

"Have you tested it elsewhere?"

Boss Jin grabbed the person in charge by the collar and asked through gritted teeth.

The other party responded with a wry smile, "We have already selected several monitoring points to extract groundwater within the entire area that we can use."

"The results are all the same."

Boss Jin's face turned deathly pale. "Do you know why it turned out this way?"

"Could it be that Chen Huan did something to it? Have you ever encountered something like this before?"

The person in charge stammered in response, "Although there were some issues yesterday, our people have been keeping a close eye on this place."

"Since no one sabotaged it, the possibility of human intervention is almost zero."

"As for why the groundwater suddenly deteriorated, it may be related to crustal movement or other natural phenomena."

"Understanding this will likely take more than a short time."

"They're a bunch of fucking useless trash."

Boss Jin gritted his teeth and muttered a curse under his breath.

His expression was shifting between light and dark.

At this moment, Chen Huan strolled over unsteadily.

He deliberately raised his voice and asked, "Boss Jin, have the results come out yet?"

"The city leaders and everyone else are waiting."

"Just announce it already, don't waste time, okay?"

Seeing this, the villagers all chimed in, "Yeah, such a big boss, surely he wouldn't go back on his word?"

"The contract has already been signed, and there were influential leaders present; he can't renege on his promise even if he wanted to."

The crowd chimed in with their own sarcastic and disdainful remarks.

Boss Jin's head was buzzing.

He glanced up discreetly at the official standing next to him.

The other party's face was ashen, and he was extremely displeased.

Boss Jin knew that he had been completely defeated today.

He began to regret it.

I regret underestimating this cunning villager and this Lotus Village.

The previous agreement was about to take effect.

The ambitious plan to build a mineral water plant is about to fall through.

Boss Jin's eyes darted around, and he decided to salvage some of his losses and save face.

"Chen Huan, is it? Although I don't know what tricks you've played, the Jin Group has always been a company of integrity."

"You're lucky this time. As agreed in the previous contract, we won't build the mineral water factory, and the land can be returned to you."

Upon hearing this, the villagers couldn't help but cheer again.

However, Chen Huan clearly noticed a cunning coldness on Boss Jin's face.

Sure enough, Boss Jin cleared his throat and continued, "We can leave, but according to the contract we signed earlier, you must immediately return the money you received."

"Following the rules is perfectly reasonable, isn't it?"

"I want to see the money today, not a single penny less, or don't blame us for being ruthless. If you can't come up with the money and breach the contract first, then the contract we just signed will be void."

The villagers were stunned when they heard this.

While each household did receive a sum of money upon signing the contract, most people have already spent most of it, making a refund impossible at this point.

Seeing that the villagers, who had been so cheerful just moments before, had suddenly become listless, with their heads down and unable to speak, Xu Huifang became anxious.

He called out the names of the villagers who had taken the money and rented out their houses, asking them one by one, "What are you waiting for? Hand over your money now and let these capitalists get out of here and give our village some peace."

"If we miss this opportunity, it will be much harder to get rid of them later."

Despite Xu Huifang's constant urging, the villagers remained unmoved, each lowering their heads even further.

Seeing that Xu Huifang wanted to continue asking questions, Chen Huan said, "Alright, no need to ask anymore. They must have spent all the money."

"What do you mean by spending all the money? It's only been a few days. I know the villagers pretty well, and I haven't seen you spend any money on anything."

Xu Huifang was almost frantic with worry; her eyes were already bloodshot.

At this point, another villager who knew the situation stepped forward and said, "They really didn't spend any money or buy anything. In the past two days, someone set up a gambling den outside the village, and they went there to gamble and lost almost all their money. Some even lost money."

These words were clearly true, and the villagers who had been told what was going on looked annoyed and frustrated.

Xu Huifang frowned. "You guys were gambling? How come I didn't know about this?"

Chen Huan, standing nearby, was grimacing. "Aren't you kidding me? Gambling isn't exactly something honorable, why should you know about it?"

Xu Huifang was on the verge of tears. "But our Lotus Village has always been known for its simple and honest people. We've never heard of any gambling gatherings before. How could it be such a coincidence?"

Chen Huan sighed, "Village Chief Xu, you really don't understand anything. Isn't this obvious? It's just that the Jin group doesn't want the villagers to have enough money to redeem their houses. They must have arranged this gambling game."

Xu Huifang was dumbfounded, then looked at Boss Jin and the others with questioning eyes.

The latter curled his lip, "Don't talk nonsense. Making things up without evidence is slander."

"I can clearly see that you can't afford a refund and are just deliberately making trouble here, right?"

"Why don't we discuss this further? There must be other, better ways to handle this."

This guy clearly still wants to keep the land and wants more time to figure out what's going on with the sewer system.

The villagers are now at their wits' end, as they have no money to pay.

Xu Huifang was completely at her wit's end, as if all her energy and spirit had dissipated.

Seeing that Boss Jin and his group had become arrogant and smug again, Chen Huan stepped forward and said, "How much is it in total? I'll pay for everyone."
