Gu Xi Jue and Xia Lan were forced to retreat outside the big gate. Looking at the villagers, who were on the streets holding their fellows, Xia Lan couldn't help but to gulp down a mouthful of saliva.

Gu Xi Jue did not say anything, but protected his with his hand as he pinched her shoulder.

"Yes, yes. Yesterday, these two people came to my stall to buy hats." The owner of the hat stand recognized them instantly.

The villagers scolded them one after another. Some of them even spat on the ground, some even wanted to rush up to them while waving the things in their hands. This showed just how much they resisted the people of Yattai Group.

"What do you want to do? Hurting people is against the law, you know?" Gu Xi Jue's eyes were shockingly cold. Standing there, his imposing manner, which was without anger, had suppressed the other party's arrogant aura.

"What are we doing? What are you doing? Why are you moving our land? On what basis are you driving us out?" The one who spoke was the Village Chief. Unlike most of the other village chiefs, he was not so happy to hear about selling land that he could not stop grinning.

What he wanted was not money, but the peaceful life of generations.

"We are not moving your land recklessly. We are building this place into a more beautiful and prosperous place." Xia Lan explained anxiously.

"What we want is not to be prosperous. We, the children of our ancestors, live here. We do not want to leave here. Look, my old mother is already over 90 years old. No matter how confused she is, even if she is confused, she knows that she is still someone from the Sea Blue Village. At such a young age, she wants to return home. To chase such an old man out of the village, and you still say that you are not a mortal? " The village chief must have had some culture and spoke more clearly than the other villagers.

Gu Xi Jue and Xia Lan looked at the old man who was sitting at the door. The old man was staring at them with moist eyes, they did not know if he was the leader in their hearts, but the two of them felt that the old man was silently begging them.

Xia Lan did not make a sound, she felt pity for the old man, and was also infected by the group of villagers who loved their home.

She … Not knowing what to say, she could only helplessly look at Gu Xi Jue.

Gu Xi Jue's heart had also undergone a subtle change, but he couldn't be soft-hearted like Xia Lan. He was the representative for the Yattai Group, and the Asia Pacific Group had set the development and construction of Sea Blue Bend as their main project for this year. They had invested a lot of financial and material resources, so he couldn't be soft-hearted.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I have a new plan in my hand that is very powerful to the villagers in Lan Jue. If you don't want to leave, you don't have to leave either. If you want money to live outside, Yattai Group will definitely not treat everyone unfairly. "

"We don't want money!" From the crowd, it was unknown who shouted, but soon after, everyone followed suit and started shouting.

The sounds were deafening.

A cold aura burst out from Gu Xi Jue's body, and he started to become impatient.

Xia Lan was afraid that he would not be able to control her temper, and stealthily pulled on his sleeves.

"Alright!" Gu Xi Jue clenched his teeth and shouted out coldly.

Miraculously, everyone stopped talking and did not shout again.

Gu Xi Jue extended his hand out, and placed it in front of Xia Lan.

Xia Lan was startled for a moment, but immediately understood what he meant. She took out the written plan from her bag, and handed it over to him.

"This is the proposal that we rushed out of that night. The contents of the plan have been altered, I believe that everyone will be able to accept it. It will definitely be beneficial for everyone. Village Chief, we'll see if you'll suffer any losses. " Gu Xi Jue passed the written plan to the village chief.

The village chief looked at everyone. Everyone's eyes were blazing with anger, fearing that the village chief would accept the challenge.

The Lady Boss of the seafood restaurant anxiously said, "Village Head, please wake up. Don't be fooled by them."

"Right, the people from Yattai Group aren't bad people, how can they have conditions that are beneficial to us? Don't be fooled by them."

"Village head …"

"Village head …"

Everyone called the village chief, afraid that he would agree.

The Village Chief hesitated, because the person in charge of the Yattai Group before him said that his new plan would benefit the villagers and would not force everyone out of the village.

The Village Head took the proposal and was dumbfounded. He shouted, "Village Head!"

The village chief raised his hand to stop them from coming forward, "Don't worry, I don't want to leave this place either. I also want to protect the land that we live in. Since he said that he's the person in charge of the Yattai Group, then what he said was correct, I can look at the plan and I won't lose out. "

Before everyone else could say anything, the Village Chief spoke up first, "Everyone, let's head back first. After I have taken a look, I will hold a meeting with everyone to study it. There won't be a single person coming to a conclusion."

It seemed that this Village Chief held a lot of prestige in the hearts of the villagers. He was someone worthy of everyone's trust. With this promise, the villagers were no longer stubborn.

However, he didn't forget to remind him before he left: Village Head, don't be tricked.

As if Gu Xi Jue was an unforgivable villain.

After everyone had left, the Village Chief said, "Let's talk inside."

Xia Lan's hand was pulled by Gu Xi Jue. Ever since the disturbance earlier, he had not let go of her hand, and neither did she.

In that moment of crisis, the first thing he did was to protect her from the back. Xia Lan saw such a delicate action.

Although this man appeared cold on the surface and seemed to treat others coldly, he actually felt warmth in his heart.

When they arrived at the main hall of the village chief's ancestral house, Gu Xi Jue released Xia Lan. It was only then that he realised he had been holding onto her all this while, and had not released her.

But the expression on his face was extremely natural, without the slightest bit of awkwardness. Compared to Xia Lan, it was much more magnanimous.

The village head woman unhappily poured the two of them a cup of tea, put it down, and left. Before leaving, she gouged out the village head with her eyes, as if disagreeing with him inviting the two into the house to see the proposal.

The Village Chief had not spoken a word since he entered the room. He lowered his head to look at the proposal with a grave expression, as if a huge task was placed on his shoulders.

Raising his head from the proposal, the Village Head's gaze was bright as he asked in disbelief, "Is what's written here real?"

"Really." Gu Xi Jue nodded and replied.

"You can even do it? You can even redeem it?" The Village Chief's voice trembled.

"Yes."

"Do you really mean what you say? Are you older than that Assistant Officer Luo?" Even for the village chief, he rarely left this place. Thus, he was afraid of being deceived.
