Entering the village, the moment Fengtai Commander saw Hong Dali, he was convinced. “Quick, look. Young Master Dali is joking with the number one person in Heavenly State. My God. This… this… This is not just any scene…”
At a time like this, what else were they waiting for?
Fengtai armed police forces’ commander rushed over. “Fengtai City armed police support forces reporting. A total of 413 people were dispatched. Standing by at your service!”
“En, good.” The mysterious man nodded. “You came fast. Comrades, you have worked hard.”
“Leader, you have worked hard!”
Six minutes later.
“Dewu City armed police support forces reporting. A total of 318 people were dispatched. Standing by at your service!”
Eight minutes later.
“Shining City. Urban law enforcers reporting. A total of 438 people were dispatched. Standing by at your service!”
Twelve minutes later.
“Xiechun City…”
In just half an hour, the entire He’an Village had a few hundred cars parked inside and outside it. The village’s open space was full, hence, more cars parked outside the village area. There were countless armed policemen and urban law enforcers running toward the village. It was no exaggeration to say that even if He’an Village was a steel fortress, these soldiers would be able to turn it upside down in ten minutes—there were a total of six thousand people. There were less than 500 people residing in the village!
Officers and their men came from all over. Villagers all ran out of their houses to lead the way for them. Before long, all of Wang Xigui’s family and men were captured. Not one was missing.
After a while, the generals from Tianhai Military arrived on their airplane. They laughed out loud when they saw the scene before them. “Haha, what an impressive formation. Good! This is the way to do it. This is a good chance to show others what the consequence is for bullying Hong Dali!”
One by one, they greeted the mysterious man. “Reporting to Leader!”
One of the highest Generals from Tianhai Military replied, “Dali is in trouble, we have to be here no matter the distance. This kid cannot be harmed in any way. It’s hard to find someone who takes care of people so well.”
“Ah…” The mysterious man sighed again despondently. “Hard to find…”
Just at that moment, about twenty cars started driving in from outside. The cars of the armed police and urban law enforcer forces gave way. When those cars were parked, reporters who heard about this alighted from the cars, each carrying their long and short lens cameras. They heard that important people were here today, they wouldn’t have missed it no matter what!
It was good that the reporters were here. They wouldn’t have given way to others—the Leader was here, he should have to say something, and reporters should record it or something, right?
When they arrived in the village, a sharp reporter exclaimed, “My God, Big Boss is here! Big Boss!””Quick, look, Big Boss is here! Oh my, so many helicopters. This… this… what is going on?!”
Reporters were more sensitive to their surroundings compared to ordinary people. They quickly noticed Hong Dali and his entourage. “Quick, look, those three beggars are joking with Big Boss. Did I see wrongly?””This… this… Big Boss and the beggars… No, no, I mean the three of them. Those three people look like they’re Young Master Dali’s age. They look alike too! Could it be, Young Master Dali in disguise?!”
This was big. Was Young Master Dali really here? Joking with the number one person of Heavenly State? That was so shocking that everyone’s jaws dropped!
A group of reporters squeezed to the front with all their might. But the number one person of Heavenly State was there, they didn’t dare go too near. They shouted from afar, “Young Master Dali, is that Young Master Dali?”
If it were someone else, it would be a good thing that so many reporters were present. Everyone wanted to be famous. Everyone wanted to be on TV, in magazines, and on the internet.
But Hong Dali was not like the others.
He sniffled and said with a straight face, “These people follow me everywhere. So many of them are here. If they have money for fuel, they should donate them…” Hong Dali remembered when these reporters interviewed the Eleventh Society people…
“That’s right, that’s right.” Tang Muxin joined in. “It would cost at least 50 yuan to take a taxi here. There are so many of them, all that money could build a few good quality houses!”
She wasn’t exaggerating. In a village like this where land and materials were cheap, three to five thousand yuan was sufficient to build a few houses.
“Haha, you rascal.” The mysterious man shook his head helplessly. Hong Dali saved him. This was not important. The important thing was that Hong Dali was safe too. The mysterious man’s smile became wider.
He waved his hand and everyone quickly quietened down.
“My fellow villagers.” The mysterious man looked at the reporters and villagers and bowed at them. He slowly said, “With regards to what happened in the village, I would like to apologize to everyone on behalf of Heavenly State!”
Hearing that, the villages started crying.
The armed police and urban law enforces all had tears in their eyes. They weren’t sure what was going on. They only knew Hong Dali was beaten up.
They only found out what happened when an officer who was close to them secretly asked the people from Tianhai Military.
Who would have thought that at such a small place such a dark situation was happening?
Hong Dali’s tears welled up too. He rubbed his face fiercely and said, “It’s not easy. Thankfully, nothing big happened. We found out early. Otherwise, who knows how long these villagers would have to continue suffering.”
“That’s right.” The Bureau Chief patted Hong Dali’s shoulder. “Well done!”
“My fellow villagers,” The mysterious man said as he welcomed the afternoon breeze. “We will rebuild He’an Village! As long as Hong Dali is around, everyone can be at rest!”
A round of applause. The sound of this applause was completely different from when the Eleventh Society came.
This came from the heart. It was genuine.
The soldiers, armed policemen, urban law enforcers, they all clapped till their hands turned red.
If it were someone else, everyone probably wouldn’t be at ease. After all, it was hard to monitor them. Nobody would know if they did a good job. But Hong Dali was different. He never wanted to be known for doing good—of course, everyone in Heavenly State knew of the prodigal, Hong Dali. He was the kindest person and would grant everyone’s wishes!
“Dali, say something?” The mysterious man looked at Hong Dali, who was dressed in torn clothing. “Anything?”
The reporters were shocked. “My God, the number one person is asking Young Master Dali to say something, and in such a tone. Strong, too strong!””That’s right, I can’t figure out how much power Young Master Dali has. It’s really… my idol!””No explanations required, fan for life!”
“Ah? Me?” Hong Dali sniffled and looked at the villagers. He was not conscious of all the attention on him at all. He waved his arms and shouted, “Then, let’s spend freely, hahahaha!”
Mysterious Man: “…” Bureau Chief: “…” Others: “…”
Does he know what kind of situation this is? At least say something appropriate!
Of course, that’s what they thought. The mysterious man didn’t mind much. He smiled and nodded. “Since Dali said so, let’s take a look around.”
Hence, the mysterious man brought Hong Dali, followed by the Bureau Chief, Tang Muxin, and Ling Xiaoyi, as well as the villagers and the reporters, followed by a few thousand soldiers, armed police, urban law enforcers guarding them. All of them walked around the village.
Looking clearly at the small village, several houses were dilapidated. It seemed the village was rather poor. The cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and geese were all roaming around freely. Once they saw Hong Dali approaching, they surrounded him, meowing, barking, calling, making Tang Muxin and the rest laugh out loud.
Hong Dali laughed. “See, these little guys all welcome me.”
“Haha, you rascal. The animals really like you.” The mysterious man smiled. Hong Dali was simply too likable.
“Dali, you are the animals’ best friend indeed.” Tang Muxin beamed. “They welcome you wherever you go. Hehe.”
“Young Master’s character is popular as such,” Ling Xiaoyi said kindly. “Animals don’t lie. They will be good to whoever is good to them.”
“En, since we’re spending money, let’s do something.” Hong Dali looked left and right, then at the roads in the village. He stepped around. “Let’s repair the roads first. To be rich, we must repair the roads. That won’t go wrong.”
“En, good. Repairing roads is good!” The mysterious man nodded and said, “The roads are uneven and transportation is inconvenient. That’s what caused this village to become isolated. Repair roads!”
Hearing that, it was giving Hong Dali a lot of face. The reporters promptly recorded. “Young Master Dali gives directive for the country. The number one person in Heavenly State nodded and agreed!””This will definitely be the headlines. In the future, when we see Young Master Dali, we must remember to work according to his directive!”
Xiaoyi took extra care to remember.
As the crowd walked around the village, the old and young who didn’t dare leave their houses earlier on all ran out and looked at them curiously, not daring to approach.
