Zhang Xiaowei, with his brow furrowed in worry, suddenly remembered a question when he heard another sigh from the village chief.
"Right, when Lu Zhengming came to your village to build a factory, it seems that Liu Datou didn't come to make trouble, did he?"
Upon hearing this, the village chief let out another bitter laugh.
"That's what I'm saying, who knows what's going on. He still hasn't paid off his gambling debts from over a decade ago, and he's been too afraid to come back to the village all these years."
"He would only sneak back occasionally, and even then, he'd stay for just a day or two before leaving. He's been in the village for two days now, and he doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving."
As he said this, the village chief paused, suddenly considering a possibility.
"It couldn't be that, this lad is planning to extort enough money from you to pay off his gambling debt before he stops, could it?"
The chief then shook his head vigorously.
