The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 171 - 0: The Simple Villagers

Cheng Yuan couldn’t help but laugh and cry; he had somehow become associated with the word ’honest’!

What a huge misunderstanding!

Of course, Cheng Yuan didn’t bother to explain.

"Journalist Li, shall I take you directly to Niu Family Village?"

"Hmm!"

Fang Xue, who was standing to the side, was very keen to join them and see for herself, but she worried that her presence might make things worse, so she reluctantly excused herself.

"A Yuan, Qianmo, I’m too conspicuous, so I won’t go over. It’s better if just the two of you go."

Cheng Yuan nodded: "Okay, Sister Xue."

After bidding farewell to Fang Xue, the pair headed straight for the underground parking lot in the old town.

Li Qianmo drove a black Mercedes G-Wagon.

That’s a car worth more than two million!

Cheng Yuan gave Li Qianmo a deep look.

It seemed that she was definitely not just an ordinary journalist; she must have connections in high places at the provincial station.

No wonder Fang Xue had so much confidence in her.

Half an hour later, Cheng Yuan and Li Qianmo arrived at the Niu Family homestead.

Normally, being a workday, the people from Niu Family homestead should be out working.

But for some reason, many people were standing at the entrance to the village, and roadblocks had been set up, sealing off the road leading into the village!

Cheng Yuan stuck his head out and asked, "Fellow villager, why are you blocking the road? We need to enter the village."

The elder at the front gave Cheng Yuan and Li Qianmo a wary look, his tone very cold.

"Niu Family Village is closed for three days! Outsiders are not allowed in!"

Li Qianmo immediately felt unhappy!

"On what grounds are you closing the village?"

Cheng Yuan quickly pulled her back and gently asked, "Uncle, is it Brother Niu Gang who told you to close off the village?"

The old man’s gaze suddenly became very dangerous!

"You really are here for my brother’s body!"

Cheng Yuan hurriedly explained, "Uncle, don’t worry, I’m a friend of Niu Gang, my name is Cheng Yuan! I brought the journalist with me!"

Journalist?

The elder’s eyes lit up, but he still didn’t let them pass.

"Wait here, I’ll call my nephew."

The elder took out his mobile phone and dialed Niu Gang’s number.

"Gangzi, come to the village entrance. There’s someone claiming to be your friend, saying he’s brought a journalist along. Come and confirm."

"Okay."

Soon, Niu Gang arrived at the village entrance, panting.

"Uncle, Director Cheng is one of us! He saw with his own eyes my dad being hit! And it was he who took my dad to the hospital!"

The old man’s expression changed instantly, his wrinkled face beaming with a radiant smile.

"So you’re Director Cheng? Gangzi told me about you! You’re a good man! Open the way! Let Director Cheng enter the village!!"

The villagers quickly fumbled to remove the roadblocks.

Cheng Yuan asked, "Brother Gang, who is this elderly gentleman?"

"This is my Uncle Niu Jianguo, the village head of Niu Family Village."

"So it’s Village Chief Niu, my apologies," Cheng Yuan said.

"Don’t mention it!"

Li Qianmo invited the two to get in the car, but they looked at their clothes and shoes and then at the clean interior of the G-Wagon.

The two quickly shook their heads.

"It’s just a short walk, we’ll go on foot."

The simplicity of the two men touched Li Qianmo deeply, and she silently made a vow – if the old man had been wronged, she would definitely see to it that justice was restored!

Turning to Village Chief Niu, Li Qianmo asked, "Why are you closing off the village?"

Niu Jianguo looked at Cheng Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, with a smile.

"It was Director Cheng who gave Gangzi the idea."

Cheng Yuan explained, "I was worried they might desperately try to take Uncle Niu’s body away for cremation!"

Li Qianmo nodded her understanding and began her interview.

Her interview was informal, like casual conversation.

"I heard that the traffic police’s appraisal results are very unfavorable for you; they say Mr. Niu Changzheng hallucinated due to drug use and ran a red light."

Niu Jianguo and Niu Gang’s expressions turned extremely grim.

"Impossible! My brother (my dad) was a war hero! The thing he hated most was Japanese and American devils, second only to drug dealers! There’s no way he used drugs!"

Cheng Yuan smiled bitterly. Could it be that Uncle Niu had deceived even his brother and his son?

Li Qianmo, on the other hand, didn’t doubt their words but became somewhat excited.

"Village Chief Niu, you say Mr. Niu Changzheng was a war hero; do you have evidence?"

"Of course, my brother has many medals, certificates of honor, and even a gun license! I’ll take you to see them."

Cheng Yuan, sitting in the passenger seat, was stunned.

No way?

Was Uncle Niu really a war hero?

Did he really participate in the Korean War and the Vietnam War?

Liu Ming truly deserved to die!

He had hit such a respectable and heroic elder!

Shortly after, the G-Wagon arrived at Niu Gang’s house.

Li Qianmo and Cheng Yuan got out of the car and followed them into the courtyard.

Two villagers who had come to mourn approached them, looking angrily at Niu Gang.

"Gangzi, the traffic police are talking nonsense! How could Uncle Niu have been using drugs?"

"He even helped the anti-drug police wipe out a drug den back in the day! He hates drug dealers the most!"

"I suggest you petition higher authorities! If the city won’t listen, go to the province! And if the province won’t listen, go to the central government!"

"All of us in Niu Family Village can testify for Uncle Niu!"
