Chapter 273: Not a Penny for Liyuan Farm!
Chapter 273: Not a Penny for Liyuan Farm!
Chen Gongchang agreed with Lin San zhou's suggestion to make a big move.
After this success, they naturally wanted to earn more money.
Now that the opportunity was right in front of them, they had to seize it.
Making a fortune wasn't something that came along easily.
"Let's freshen up and head back!" Chen Gong Chang also instructed.
Lin San zhou, hearing his uncle's words, walked into the bathroom and started brushing his teeth.
After drinking all night, his mouth still tasted bitter from the alcohol.
Chen Gong Chang took out his phone and started browsing videos.
This was the best way to pass the time.
But his expression suddenly changed.
He saw that in You City, someone had been caught privately selling whitening sweet potatoes, and the case had been filed.
You City had also issued an official announcement.
This announcement not only caught Chen Gong Chang's attention but also sparked a strong reaction online.
The momentum of criticizing Liyuan Farm abruptly stopped, and people began to focus on the case.
However, there were no specific updates, leaving everyone curious.
One thing was certain: they seemed to have wronged li y uan farm.
Chen Gong Chang's face turned completely pale after reading the news.
Finally, he cursed out loud: "These women are crazy. They said it was a private sale, so they should have enjoyed their luck quietly. Instead, they boasted about it online."
Now, with You City filing the case, they couldn't continue their scheme of deceiving people to hide and sell the whitening sweet potatoes.
These women wouldn't be able to buy them anymore either.
A bunch of lowlifes, directly harming them.
They could have convinced the villagers to grow the whitening sweet potatoes to compete with Liyuan Farm.
Now, they might be arrested instead.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Lin san zhou came out of the bathroom, full of confusion.
"The situation is bad, we need to leave quickly," Chen Gong Chang urged, not daring to hesitate. "Hurry up!"
"Uncle, what's really going on?" Lin san zhou was still puzzled.
But seeing his uncle's anxious expression, he didn't dare to say more and hurriedly followed him toward the door.
However, as they opened the door, they were stunned!
A group of police officers in uniform stood outside, and a waiter was about to trick them into opening the door.
Even a fool would understand what was happening.
In TV dramas, the waiter would trick them into opening the door, and then the police would come in to arrest them.
The police were also taken aback. They were just about to have the waiter trick them into opening the door when the suspects opened it themselves.
They didn't hesitate.
They rushed in and pinned Lin san zhou and Chen Gong Chang to the ground.
Chen Gong Chang clearly wanted to resist, but his strength was too weak.
"Lin san zhou, Chen Gong Chang, you're in trouble. Come with us!" A police officer barked.
Lin san zhou, pinned to the ground, was dumbfounded and shouted in panic, "What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? I haven't broken any laws."
A police officer laughed upon hearing this: "Selling whitening sweet Potatoes privately, appropriating others' property, and profiting from it. You still say you haven't broken any laws?"
These words made Lin san zhou's face turn pale with panic: "How can this be? Uncle, you didn't tell me this would result in arrest. I can't go to jail. I have a wife and children. My child is still in school. My family can't do without me."
Really, the police officers who were arresting them were speechless. These people had broken the law, and they didn't even know it.
It seemed legal education wasn't widespread enough.
Chen Gong Chang remained silent. He had suspected this might be illegal.
When Liyuan Farm found out, they might report it to the police. He never thought they would be caught so quickly. He had planned to make a large profit and then run away to another place.
Moreover, the police couldn't possibly keep an eye on this case forever. After some time, he could return, and they might not even recognize him.
If they weren't caught, that would be best. After deceiving the villagers to grow the whitening sweet potatoes and competing with Liyuan Farm, the police wouldn't dare to arrest him.
But who would have thought they would be caught so quickly, and now be pinned to the ground?
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but curse in frustration: "Damn women, fools! I gave you the chance to buy the whitening sweet potatoes first, but you had to betray me. You’re brainless, fools!"
The news of Lin Sanzhou and Chen Gongchang's arrest spread quickly.
Moreover, the videos recorded by the law enforcement cameras were sent back to You County.
County Chief Liu also promptly announced the news on the official website.
This matter needed an immediate resolution and the truth to be revealed.
Only then could the online buzz be completely eliminated, and an explanation be given to Liyuan Farm.
Due to the online attention, this incident was quickly noticed, especially the scene of Lin Sanzhou and Chen Gongchang being pinned down, which spread all over the internet.
Chen Gongchang's furious curses were particularly impactful, making everyone feel his despair.
Everyone knew who he was talking about—the women who initially posted videos criticizing Liyuan Farm.
Previously, these women had been very arrogant, thinking they were important just because they had some money.
Now, it was quite amusing; they turned out to be fools.
Indeed, they were fools. They had the opportunity to enjoy the special privilege of buying the whitening sweet potatoes at a higher price right at their doorstep, but they sabotaged their own chances.
By boasting, they cut off their own supply of whitening sweet potatoes, not only losing what they had already bought but also making it impossible to buy more in the future.
So, what were they if not fools?
Or perhaps, they were just terrible teammates!
The videos criticizing Liyuan Farm were quickly deleted.
Lin Sanzhou and Chen Gongchang's arrest marked the end of this incident.
At least, the online buzz had died down, and the discussions were now about Lin Sanzhou and Chen Gongchang, the two people who had been caught, and the women who were called fools.
However, for You County, this matter was far from over.
After interrogating Lin Sanzhou and Chen Gongchang, the county authorities learned that the farmers in Xinlin Village had all been involved, hiding the whitening sweet potatoes and selling them to Chen Gongchang.
So, Wei Yuan personally led a team to Xinlin Village.
This incident was a slap in the face for the county authorities.
Indeed, some people are poor for a reason.
They had tried to help with poverty alleviation, but these people had cut off their own path to wealth.
Why should they bother with such people?
Upon arriving at the village office of Xinlin Village, he immediately instructed the village officials to call the farmers involved.
The village officials were also upset. They hadn't expected that after finally securing some poverty alleviation quotas for the village, these people would do such a thing.
Now, he wouldn't even get a good evaluation, truly harmed by these people.
He soon arrived at Lin Yuanbin's field and saw that Lin Yuanbin was using the sweet potato vines to cultivate new sweet potato seedlings.
He was speechless. Did this person really think he could cultivate whitening sweet potato seedlings?
It was truly a case of ignorance leading to wild imagination.
Liyuan Farm dared to promote the cultivation of this crop; how could it be so easily cultivated by someone else?
If it were that simple, the foreign company that initially produced the whitening product wouldn't have failed to get the sweet potatoes and cultivate them.
Why, after being thwarted by Liyuan Farm, did they fail to cultivate the whitening sweet potatoes for so long?
However, given their shallow knowledge and the trouble they caused, it wasn't surprising that they had such wild ideas.
He directly told Lin Yuanbin, "Lin Yuanbin, go to the village office. The Agriculture Bureau wants to talk to you about the whitening sweet potatoes."
"Got it, I'll finish up here first," Lin Yuanbin said casually, without the previous eagerness to please for a planting quota.
Back then, when the Agriculture Bureau people came, he would rush over at the slightest word.
Now, he didn't feel the need. After all, he didn't rely on the Agriculture Bureau. He believed that the Agriculture Bureau and Liyuan Farm were colluding to exploit them, surely a group of corrupt officials.
Now, they were cultivating their own sweet potato seedlings, planting them themselves, and not giving a penny to Liyuan Farm.
