Chapter 1298: Yielding
Chapter 1298: Yielding
The grand convoy drove into Mu Family Village, with people already waiting at the village entrance.
Seeing so many cars arriving, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the apples could finally be sold!
Because the quantity was too large, weighing each box would be too time-consuming. So Mu Guoyong told everyone that the apples from each household would be estimated by weight, and when the trucks passed the pump station, the total weight would be calculated later to see if there was any discrepancy, with either refunds or additional payments as needed.
The villagers had no objections; after all, the price was set, and even if a few hundred pounds were miscalculated, what could it matter?
So, when the trucks arrived, people guided the loaders back home to load the apples.
Just as everyone was busy, a police car drove into Mu Family Village.
Ling Feng knew they were coming for him, so he went straight to meet them.
As expected, the police had received reports from Ding Yuhai’s family and others, who had been standing by the roadside for two hours.
The town’s doctor had taken a look but had no idea what happened, and there was no way to resolve it!
And sending them to the hospital was something no one dared to do.
Because no one knew what happened, and no one moved them easily.
After the police arrived at the scene and understood the situation, they followed the truck’s trail to Mu Family Village.
Ling Feng didn’t hide anything, admitting that he was the one who dealt with those people, and then explained the events.
Due to his identity as a security bureau officer, the police were a bit troubled, not knowing how to handle the situation immediately.
Seeing this, Ling Feng smiled and said, "You must know Ding’s nature, being so arrogant and domineering. I did this to give him a taste of his own medicine, a little lesson. But don’t worry, I’ll return him to normal before I leave!"
The leading officer was the local police station chief, somewhat helplessly asked, "Mr. Ling, in that case, it’s hard for us to explain to their families. It’s been two hours already, so maybe we should just let it go?"
Ling Feng thought for a moment, "Alright, I won’t make it difficult for you. Loading the trucks will take a few more hours, so let me go with you to town and release their acupoints first!"
"That would be best!" the chief nodded.
So Ling Feng drove along with the police back to town.
By then, almost the entire town had come out, standing by the roadside, looking at those standing like wooden stakes, pointing and talking without knowing what to say.
Seeing the police return with Ling Feng, a few women immediately rushed over aggressively.
Upon seeing the women, Ling Feng squinted his eyes and coldly snorted, "If you don’t want to end up like them, step aside!"
The women were momentarily stunned, not expecting that he would still be so assertive even after being brought back by the police!
Then, one middle-aged woman cursed, "You witch, let go of my old Ding, or we won’t let you off!"
"What will you do if you won’t let me off?" Ling Feng asked with a cold smile.
Ding Yuhai’s wife, hearing this, immediately acted like a shrew: "I’ll fight you to death!"
As she said this, she charged forward, and Ling Feng looked at her: "Don’t think I won’t hit women!"
"Then hit me, just kill me!"
Ding Yuhai’s wife shouted as she rushed forward, stretching out her hands to scratch!
Ling Feng dodged to the side, quickly tapping her acupoint, then turned his eyes: "Anyone else wants to come?"
Everyone: "...."
Everyone was stunned; this person was acting so brazenly in front of the police!
The police station chief felt a bit awkward, looking at Ling Feng: "This..."
"Don’t worry. If they don’t admit defeat, I’ll play along with them!"
Ling Feng laughed as he stepped forward to Ding Yuhai, reached out, and released his acupoints, "How does it feel?"
Having stood dazedly for over two hours, Ding Yuhai’s muscles were all stiff, and he fell to the ground with a thud, looking at Ling Feng with fear: "Who, who exactly are you?"
"Me? I’m someone who specially punishes those who bully others in the market. What do you think I am?" Ling Feng smiled.
"I...."
Ding Yuhai was much shrewder than his wife, realizing the police seemed unable to do anything to Ling Feng. He quickly said, "Alright, I was blind, shouldn’t have provoked you, I apologize!"
Ling Feng sneered, "Is an apology to me enough?"
"Then, then..."
Ding Yuhai was momentarily at a loss for words.
"I’ll be coming to this place often from now on, and the apples from Mu Family Village and the surrounding villages will continue to be purchased in large quantities, do you understand?" Ling Feng asked in a cold voice.
"Understood, understood!"
Hearing this, Ding Yuhai quickly nodded.
Such an obvious warning, if he couldn’t catch on, he might as well not mingle anymore!
Seeing that he had truly conceded, Ling Feng smiled and then released the acupoints of the others.
As for Ding Yuhai’s wife, she was the last to be released.
Once the woman regained her ability to move, she lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at him, which satisfied Ling Feng. He then looked at the chief, "Is everything settled now?"
"It’s settled, Mr. Ling. You may leave," the chief said.
Ling Feng didn’t delay either, turning around to get in his car and leaving town under the watchful eyes of many.
...
...
By dusk, all twenty trucks were loaded with apples and then set out on their journey back to Tang Family Village.
But Ling Feng did not leave with the trucks; there were still many matters to handle at Mu Family Village.
First was the future cooperation arrangements; he needed to give the villagers a clear explanation so they could continue cultivating.
And then there was the matter of expanding the cultivation in the future. Though the combined fruit trees of Mu Family Village and the surrounding areas were considerable and the annual output exceeded one million pounds, Ling Feng still felt it wasn’t enough!
Even though the apple wine production hadn’t started, he was already preparing for its massive future release.
Therefore, more fruit trees need to be planted, as many as possible.
This time, Ling Feng didn’t involve people from Ling Corporation; he convened a meeting with the village officials of Mu Family Village himself to discuss his ideas.
The money amounting to over two million had already been handed over to the village committee and would soon be distributed to the villagers, which naturally filled everyone with confidence in Ling Feng. After hearing his words, Mu Guoyong immediately said, "Mr. Ling, rest assured, we all trust your capabilities. After the spring next year, not only will the people in our village increase cultivation areas, but the surrounding villages will do the same!"
"That’s good, and you needn’t worry. The price I pay for apples won’t drop; it will only go higher, never lower!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone instantly became excited.
At this moment, in their eyes, Ling Feng was simply a savior, a great benefactor!
After finishing the meeting and leaving the village committee office, the sky had darkened once again.
Returning home to Mu Lingling’s place, he found only her there, and Ling Feng was a bit surprised and asked, "Where are Uncle Mu and the others?"
"My parents went out," Mu Lingling said.
