Chapter 733 Panic
The owner of the B&B panicked and immediately informed Qi Tongwei of the incident. Qi Tongwei realized the seriousness of the matter. He knew that this gang was not a good thing and would bring great disaster to the village if it was not stopped.
Qi Tongwei quickly gathered the villagers and told them the truth. After hearing this, the villagers were angry and worried, and said they would never give in to the gangs. Everyone began to discuss countermeasures. Some suggested calling the police to handle the matter; others worried that calling the police would anger the gangs and lead to more serious retaliation.
After thinking for a moment, Qi Tongwei said: "Calling the police is necessary, but before the police arrive, we must also take self-protection measures. We must unite and take care of each other. We can't let them succeed easily." So, the villagers spontaneously organized a patrol team to patrol the village day and night to prevent further destructive behavior by gangsters.
However, the gangster boss Zhao Xiong was very angry when he saw that the villagers of the Knight Village were not intimidated by his threats, but instead strengthened their defenses. He decided to personally take action to give the village a warning.
One evening, Zhao Xiong and several of his men came to the village in a swaggering manner. They deliberately picked a fight and overturned the table while eating at a farmhouse, saying that the food was unhygienic. They also insulted and beat the boss and the waiter. When the villagers heard the noise, they rushed over and surrounded Zhao Xiong and his men.
Qi Tongwei stood in front of the crowd and said to Zhao Xiong righteously: "You people should not be so arrogant. This is the Knight Village, not a place for you to run wild. We rely on our own efforts to develop the village, and we are not afraid of evil forces like you."
Zhao Xiong sneered and said, "Humph, you don't want to accept my toast. I'm just teaching you a little lesson today. If you don't obey me, you'll suffer in the future."
The two sides were deadlocked and the atmosphere was very tense. At this time, an old man in the village stood up. He was once a martial arts master. Although he was old, he was still very skilled. The old man said to Zhao Xiong: "Young man, don't go astray. We in the Knight Village have had the spirit of chivalry since ancient times and will never bow to evil forces. It's not too late for you to turn back now."
Zhao Xiong didn't listen to the advice at all, he signaled his men to take action. A conflict was about to break out, at this critical moment, the sirens suddenly sounded, it turned out that Qi Tongwei had called the police in advance, the police arrived in time and subdued Zhao Xiong and others.
Although the turmoil has subsided temporarily, Qi Tongwei knows that the gangsters will not give up easily. They may continue to plot in secret and wait for the right time to attack again. In order to completely solve this problem, Qi Tongwei cooperated with the police to conduct an in-depth investigation of Zhao Xiong's criminal gang and provided relevant evidence of their actions in the village; on the other hand, he organized the villagers to strengthen the village's security measures, installed surveillance cameras, and strictly controlled the entrances and exits of the village.
At the same time, Qi Tongwei also realized that it was not enough to rely solely on external forces, and the village itself needed to become stronger in order to resist various potential threats. Therefore, he led the villagers to further develop the economy and broaden the sources of income. In addition to the existing cultural industries and ecological agriculture, they began to explore the field of deep processing of agricultural products, turning the village's characteristic agricultural products into various exquisite foods and handicrafts, increasing the added value of the products, and increasing the village's economic strength and risk resistance.
In this process, the villagers have become more united. Everyone is united in purpose and working together to face difficulties and challenges. Some minor conflicts and disputes in the past seem insignificant in the face of a common crisis. Everyone understands that only by unity can the peace and prosperity of the village be protected.
As time went by, after experiencing the baptism of this gangster storm, the village of knights became more resilient and mature. The village's economy continued to develop steadily, and the lives of the villagers became better and better. Qi Tongwei's prestige in the village also reached a new height. He not only led the villagers to overcome difficulties one after another, but also pointed out the direction for the future development of the village.
However, life is always full of uncertainties. Just as the village was gradually getting back on track, a new problem quietly emerged. As the village's popularity continued to increase, some large business groups began to pay attention to this once inconspicuous village. They saw the development potential and unique resources of the village and tried to intervene in the development of the village in various ways. This not only brought opportunities for cooperation, but also some potential crises that might affect the village's independent development.
Faced with this situation, Qi Tongwei fell into deep thought. He knew that this was both a new opportunity for the development of the village and a severe test. How to maintain the village's characteristics and independence in cooperation with large business groups and how to ensure that the interests of the villagers were not infringed became new issues that he needed to think about and solve.
In the following days, Qi Tongwei began to contact and negotiate with the business group. He carefully studied each cooperation plan, not missing any details, and argued with the other party to strive for the greatest benefits and development space for the village. At the same time, he also actively organized villagers to discuss and vote, so that every villager could participate in the village's major decisions and fully respect everyone's wishes and ideas.
After long and difficult negotiations, Qi Tongwei finally found a relatively balanced cooperation model for the village. The business group will provide the village with financial, technical and market support to help it further improve the scale and quality of its cultural industry and ecological agriculture; while the village will retain the leading role in its own development, ensuring that the village's cultural characteristics and traditions can be inherited and carried forward, and the villagers can also gain tangible benefits and development opportunities from the cooperation.
However, just when everyone thought that the village was about to usher in a stable development, new troubles came one after another. Although the gangster boss Zhao Xiong has been controlled by the police and can't make trouble for the time being, his brothers are unwilling to fail and try to continue to stir up trouble in the Knight Village, pushing the situation into an unknown and dangerous direction.
Liu Ermaizi, Zhao Xiong's right-hand man, is a man of ill intentions and revenge. He thinks that the boss was arrested because the people of the Knight Village "don't know what's good for them". He is full of resentment and decides to teach the village a lesson. One morning, villager Wang was going to work in his orchard as usual. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he found that the fence of the orchard had been maliciously destroyed, many fruit trees were broken, and the fruits on the branches were scattered all over the ground, making a mess.
