Chapter 587: w.a.n.g Cai, What Happened to You w.a.n.g CaiTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hong Dali was just able to ask what happened to Old Liu"s family when village chief w.a.n.g Xigui suddenly saw the three of them. “Hey, the three beggars there, what are you doing? Get out of here now! Don"t be an eyesore here, go away!”
The Eleventh Society was coming today to do charity, he couldn"t let these stinky beggars spoil the matter. w.a.n.g Xigui made a gesture with his eyes at the hooligans hidden at the side. Instantly, four people walked over and said, “Hey, little brats, you actually begged for food here. Hurry up and get out, or else I will break your legs!”
This was still because there were officials here. If not, they wouldn"t have said anything and directly hit them.
“Big Brothers, please give us some food.” Hong Dali was dressed in a beggars" attire now, and he had slept in the forest for a night. On his hair were either leaves or gra.s.s, very dirty, and his face was full of dirt as well. Tang Muxin and Ling Xiaoyi were about the same. Not to mention these hooligans, even if their parents came, they probably wouldn"t recognize them.
“There"s no food for you, get out now!” The four hooligans pushed up their sleeves, preparing to get physical. “d.a.m.n beggars, I can give you a d.i.c.k, you want to eat that? Hurry and get out, if not I will break your legs!”
Hearing their vulgar words, Tang Muxin was so angry that her eyebrows were standing and she wanted to hit them, but without Hong Dali"s instructions, she didn"t dare to make decisions on her own. It would not be good if she spoiled their plan.
What the heck! Today you ignored me, tomorrow I shall become someone you wouldn"t even dare to claim connections with—of course, he could only think of that in his heart. Hong Dali retreated a few steps with a dejected face and said, “We haven"t eaten anything for a day, we really don"t have the strength to move anymore. If not, we don"t want food anymore, can you just let us rest here for a while? Just a while, we really can"t walk anymore…”
Yet, just as he spoke up to this point, beside him, w.a.n.g Cai wobbled and dropped onto the ground. Hong Dali rushed up and cried loudly, “w.a.n.g Cai, what happened to you w.a.n.g Cai, you were very loyal and sincere to me, but even till now, I have never let you have a full meal before. I"m so sorry, w.a.n.g Cai!”
Hong Dali"s voice could really cause people to cry, and he instantly aroused the sympathy of the villagers. A few people carefully begged for him. “Big Brother, look at how pitiful they are. Just let them rest here for a while, we promise to perform seriously later. Look at how rugged their clothes are. If we said that their house collapsed and didn"t have a place to stay, the effect might be even better, right?”
“Exactly, look at how skinny they are, they are already starved to this extent…”
Wasn"t they skinny indeed, which girl who wanted to be beautiful would want to be fat…
“Hm, that does indeed makes sense.” The four hooligans looked at each other. These three beggars looked as miserable as one could get. Their clothes were torn and rugged, their faces covered with dirt, they really looked like refugees whose house collapsed and didn"t have a place to stay. The lead hooligan fiercely said, “d.a.m.n it, the few of you teach him what to do. If he accidentally spills the beans, I will break all of your legs!”
Saying so, he walked back to report this to the village chief.
Door to Heaven, International Convention Center.
Seeing the scene that w.a.n.g Cai recorded, everyone discussed: “This village chief even hired bouncers, he"s practically like an emperor there!”
“That"s right, the communication system there is outdated, the road is hard to walk, and he hired a bunch of bouncers, normal villagers really wouldn"t dare to say anything!”
“Sigh, lucky Young Master Dali went there. If not, these villagers… Just looking at these, I already feel how pitiful they are…”
Tianhai Military Headquarters, main building conference room.
The officers all slapped on the table and scolded vulgarities, the atmosphere very noisy and messy. “What the heck, this bunch of people is so arrogant, they"ll all be pulled out and shot!”
“That"s right. If it wasn"t for Hong Dali, I really wouldn"t know how bad things are there! In the past, I only thought that it was a place full of disasters. But now, it seems that there"s a lot of dark secrets too!”
“How"s it going on over there?” Xu Dezhi looked at the commotion and asked, “What"s the situation?”
“Ah, it"s three little beggars, they lost their way here.” w.a.n.g Xigui listened to his subordinate"s report and also felt that these three beggars wouldn"t affect their plan. Instead, the people from the Eleventh Society might see this and provide them with even more money. If that happened, he would be able to keep more money too. “I have used my people to teach them what to do. When the Eleventh Society people comes, just say that their house collapsed and earn some sympathy from them.”
“Yup, that"s true.” Xu Dezhi nodded and said, “Do your job well, I won"t forget your share of the benefits. Once the resources from the Eleventh Society are here, I will help you contact the merchants to sell them. For the money, you can still have 30%.”
“OK, no problem!” w.a.n.g Xigui was overjoyed. He thought for a while and secretly asked, “If we sell everything, will things really be alright?”
“Make sure they keep their mouths shut.” Xu Dezhi humphed and said, “Choose some stuff that"s hard to sell and throw them some of it, wouldn"t they be grateful then?”
“No problem, I understand.” w.a.n.g Xigui laughed, his mouth full of yellow teeth.
“Oh my, I am really hungry.” Hong Dali sighed and grasped his stomach, really acting like it. Even the villager beside him felt embarra.s.sed and said, “Little Brother, if you are really hungry, after things are done here, I will bring you some food from my house. Look at how skinny you are, so pitiful, sigh.”
Tang Muxin and Ling Xiaoyi pursed their lips in amus.e.m.e.nt. Could he be considered skinny? It was just that he didn"t get fat no matter how much he ate…
“Ah, no need, no need.” This little rascal Hong Dali was full of ideas. “Big Brother, I heard they ask us to perform seriously, what are we performing? I don"t have anyone to rely on, I don"t want to spoil the performance and get my leg broken…”
He was indeed clever. At a moment like this when they weren"t very familiar with each other, he couldn"t directly ask about Old Liu"s matter. If not, it would very easily arouse suspicion. This villager looked not bad, but Hong Dali couldn"t guarantee that he wouldn"t snitch on him. Although he wasn"t afraid of that, the show wouldn"t be able to continue anymore.
The interesting show started, so the originally dying wild dog w.a.n.g Cai was instantly invigorated. The camera was pointed at the villager, waiting to hear what he would say.
Hong Dali"s question received warm replies from various villagers around him. The villager who said that he was pitiful at the start said, “It"s said that a charity organization will be coming here today. The village chief.” The villager pointed at w.a.n.g Xigui. “That fatty over there. He asked us to act more pitifully so that he can ask for more donations. Later, when the people from the charity organization come, you just have to cry at the top of your lungs. If your performance is satisfactory, the village chief might even let you stay in the village for a few days.”
A charity organization was coming and they still had to purposely pretend to be pitiful?
“If we pretend to be pitiful, is there any benefit?” Speaking of which, if they could really get more money, that could be considered a good thing. Hong Dali asked, “We can ask for more money from the charity workers?”
“My a.s.s.” This time, a person with a more violent personality scolded. “No matter how much money they give, wouldn"t it still all end up in that b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s pockets? Each household can only get 50 yuan, and even this depends on his mood.”
What the heck, this was explosive news!
The wild dog w.a.n.g Cai secretly got closer. This was why secret recordings were more efficient than formal interviews. If the people were all prepared, what were they supposed to shot? Instead, w.a.n.g Cai was more useful. Who would expect a wild dog to be a photographer…
“Big Brother.” Hong Dali looked left and saw that the village chief was busily bootlicking the Mayor, and the hooligans weren"t looking over too, so he hurriedly asked softly, “Then, if we didn"t cooperate good enough, are those hooligans going to…”
“Isn"t that the case.” The hot-tempered villager fiercely said, “That b.a.s.t.a.r.d w.a.n.g Xigui hired 40 plus hooligans, he commits all kinds of crimes normally like prost.i.tution and gambling. We are all very angry, but we don"t dare to say anything. Whoever dares to spread the news of this outside, w.a.n.g Xigui will definitely break his leg. Now, we have to do whatever he said. If not, we will definitely get a beating at the least.”
“I see.” Hong Dali secretly nodded and didn"t speak anymore.
When the people in the Chamber of Commerce saw this part, they all angrily slapped the table and scolded. “This village chief is too much of a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, is he enjoying life at the expenses of these villagers!?”
“That"s right, even the old landlords in past eras didn"t do such a thing!”
“Towards these kinds of people, we must definitely screw him over, screw him till he dies!”
Tianhai Military Headquarters, conference room.
The officers all angrily slapped on the table furiously.
“Luckily this kid Dali is resourceful enough. If not, how would we find out about this? Even if we send people there, they might not dare to speak!”
“d.a.m.n it, I shall go there right now and shoot him in the head!”
“Wait a bit, don"t rush. With Dali there, they definitely won"t be able to escape!”
Upon seeing this part of the broadcast, everyone was filled with indignation. As for Hong Dali, he was softly discussing with the villagers how to act more naturally.
After waiting for a while, a villager suddenly softly said, “They are here, they are here!”
Everyone instantly tiptoed to take a look. A convey of six Toyoda sedans drove in. When they arrived, the sedans stopped and about 20 people alighted for the cars. They were dressed in suits and their leather boots were s.h.i.+ning. On their right chest was a badge with the words “Eleventh Society” on it. There were two stalks of wheat behind, and in the center were two hands joined together. The design of the badge was quite beautiful. Of course, their dressing was quite neat and orderly too.
Seeing that the main character was here, Xu Dezhi hurriedly put on his most amiable smile and walked up to welcome them. He stretched out his hand and shook it with the leader from the Eleventh Society.
As they shook hands, they continuously adjusted their position and angle for the reporters to shoot the most suitable and beautiful pictures—this would be posted online, so it was very important and couldn"t be carelessly dealt with. They waited so long exactly for this moment.
After the leader from the Eleventh Society shook hands with Xu Dezhi, with a bag sandwiched under his arm, he started paying his condolences to the villagers.
He didn"t go to the center of the villagers first, but instead took out a loudspeaker and loudly shouted, “Dear villagers, I represent the entire body of the Eleventh Society to express sympathy towards your encounter. At the same time, I hope that all of you will be reinvigorated and put all of your energy into reconstructing your homes!”
The villagers responded with a warm round of applause, their palms getting red from clapping—they had to clap, or else their legs would be broken!
“Big Brother.” Whilst he clapped, Hong Dali softly asked, “It looks like this Eleventh Society is still not bad.”
“Not bad my a.s.s.” The villager spat in disdain. “He acts like a human, but what he gives will all end up in that b.a.s.t.a.r.d w.a.n.g Xigui"s pocket. We won"t even get a chicken feather but we still have to pretend to be grateful to him! Since he"s here, do you think he will leave empty-handed? He definitely has to have a meal here, right? The chicken they are killing to treat him belongs to the villagers!”
What the heck…
