Xiao Chengcai pretended not to hear Xiao Lingyu’s words.
However, he could not just shut his mouth and not answer.
“Xiao Chengcai, if you don’t have any ulterior motives, then tell us openly where you got your money from.”
“That’s right. Look at the money in your pocket. It’s at least tens of thousands. Where did you suddenly get so much money from?”
“shut up!” Xiao Chengcai suddenly shouted.
Then, everyone’s eyes were fixed on him. They were shocked by this stranger. In the past, they knew him as a taciturn man who kept his head down and loved his wife dearly.
However, recently, everyone bore witness to his vicious, cold, and heartless side. He was heartless to his wife of more than twenty years. It was not unsurprising that he would sell the whole village out for his own benefit.
“shut up!” Xiao Chengcai shouted angrily again, “Why should I answer any of you? I picked up the money on the road!”
However, he felt extremely regretful in his heart!
‘What he regretted was not betraying the Xiao Family, but he had been so careless. He should have found a big leaf and wrapped the money in it. However, he was careless, and the edge of the money poked out of his pocket. But regret was useless.
He gritted his teeth and refused to admit to anything.
As soon as Xiao Chengcai finished speaking, everyone present stared at Xiao Chengcai in astonishment.
They looked at him as if he was a stranger. Then again, to them, Xiao Chengcai was indeed a stranger. The evidence was ironclad, but he still refused to admit it.
Xiao Lingyu sneered when she heard this. “Uncle Chengcai, you are really smart. All of us have been deceived by you. Even now, you refuse to confess. Do you want us to bring out more evidence?”
Xiao Chengcai did not say a word. He just stared at Xiao Lingyu with anger and hatred in his eyes.
“Alright, I’l present you with more evidence!” Xiao Lingyu said coldly, “Wen Zi, show him!”
Xiao Chengcai was very sure that they were in a very hidden place during the transaction. There were absolutely no cameras around. There wouldn’t be any concrete evidence.
Wen Zi’s hand made a few crackling sounds on the keyboard. Then, another scene appeared on the computer.
This was when the transaction happened. Three young men got down from a car. Then, they heard someone speaking, Yes, there were voices.
“CEO Li, you must be joking when you say this lousy place can be turned into a tourist spot.”
“That’s right. The name of this place sounds nice, but the place is not. The terrain is remote, and people can’t even find it.”
“Let’s go. Let’s look around. It’s best if we find a local villager.”
When Xiao Chengcai heard the voices, he was immediately shocked.
‘How… is this possible? He heard that the surveillance system could only capture images and no voices. This gave him a very bad and uneasy feeling.
“Fellow man, we’re from outside. Can you show us the features of your village?”
“Go look for someone else.”
“Tl give you 200 RMB to show us around.”
“3,000 RMB.”
“3,000 RMB? Brother, are you sure you’re not dreaming?”
“If you give me three thousand, I’ll take you to a special place in our Taoyuan Village. I’ll also tell you the secret of our village.
“Since it’s a secret, of course, I can’t say it casually. Otherwise, I’ll offend the entire Taoyuan Village.
“I’ve changed my mind again. I think the secret is worth at least 30,000.”
“Okay! But I have to know what your secret is before I can give you the money.”
“No, you have to give me the money first.”
“Okay. I’ll give you 30,000 RMB.”
The entire conversation Xiao Chengcai had with the three men was broadcasted. Wen Zi borrowed the loudspeaker from the village chief and amplified the sound for everyone to hear.
The committee center exploded.
“Oh my God, so it was really Xiao Chengcai who sold the news of the Little Cattle King. He actually sold it for 30,000 RMB.”
“He got 30,000 RMB out of it. No wonder he hid so much cash at home, and they’re all brand new!”
“He’s too evil!”
“You really can’t judge a book by its cover. Xiao Chengcai looks like an honest man. How could he do such an unconscionable thing?”
“His family couldn’t pick the Little Cattle King’s manure. Plus, you have to consider the issue with Zhang Xiaolan. He’s jealous and wants to take revenge.”
“That has to be it!”
Xiao Lingyu didn’t care how the villagers discussed Xiao Chengcai.
She looked sternly at Xiao Chengcai, whose face was a little green, white, and angry. She asked coldly, “Uncle Chengcai, is this evidence concrete enough for you? You asked for 30,000 RMB to sell out the secret of Little Cattle King. You really know how to make money.”
Actually, the surveillance system couldn’t record voice. They used vocal reconstruction following the mouth shapes and so on.
At this moment, Xiao Chengcai couldn’t defend himself, so he simply admitted it. After all, what he did wasn’t illegal. He might offend some people, but he wasn’t afraid.
Xiao Chengeai said, “So, what if I sold the news of the Little Cattle King? After all, every household can pick its cow dung but mine.
“Since I can’t get any benefits, why should I work so hard to keep your secret? What can you do to me?”
In short, he was unrepentant.
Xiao Lingyu nodded. “That’s right. I can’t do anything to you. Little Light is mine, not yours, and not the entire village’s. So you have no qualms at all.”
“That’s right!” Xiao Chengcai didn’t deny it. “You’re very right. What are you going to do to me now? Are you going to send me to jail as you did to Zhang Xiaolan?”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head. “I can’t do anything to do. You didn’t break the law. You merely harmed everyone’s interest.” She paused at this point and stared at him. She enunciated each word clearly. “I just want to ask you. Do you have a conscience?”
Xiao Chengcai’s heart quivered.
He did not expect Xiao Lingyu, this wretched girl, to have such a strong aura. Just her gaze was enough to scare his heart out of his chest.
In the face of Xiao Lingyu’s questioning, Xiao Chengcai once again pursed his lips tightly and did not want to answer.
For the time being, Xiao Lingyu could not do anything to Xiao Chengcai. She merely wanted everyone to know the monster that was Xiao Chengcai. Everyone would have their own consideration dealing with him in the future.
‘There was no need for her to say anything more.
‘At that moment, Zhang Chunjiao, who had been obedient for a long time, suddenly popped up.
She sneered and said, “Xiao Lingyu, this is your own fault for being too unjust, petty, and conceited. Why can’t we share the benefits of the Little Catty King because our families don’t have a good relationship with your family? This is your retribution!”
It was obvious that she was happy. She wanted to clap.
However, internally, she was sad. Why didn’t she encounter those men? If it were her, she would have sold the news for 100,000, no, at least 300,000 RMB!
After all, the Little Cattle King was worth that much. Xiao Lingyu’s vegetables had earned her a few million already.
Then Zhang Chunjiao realized she needed more than to sell the news of the Little Cattle King. She needed the Little Cattle King. With the Little Cattle King, she could earn three billion easily, much less 300,000 RMB!
That idea was immediately planted inside Zhang Chunjiao’s mind, waiting for the day to sprout..
