35: Bro, don't mess around!

Tazhai Village!?

The shop owner's words left Su Yun extremely surprised.

Isn't that the rock sugar village from the TV show I watched in my previous life?

At the time, it caused quite a stir.

Calm down, calm down... Su Yun tried to rein in his emotions.

The shop owner then explained, "I'm really sorry."

"In Tazhai Village, the Village Director has a rule."

"Outsiders are allowed during the day, but not at night!"

"You'll have to find somewhere else!"

...Su Yun and Photographer Wang Fan quietly left Tazhai Village.

"Bro, why did you stop me?"

"I thought that jerk deserved a beating!"

"What rules? If you ask me, he just looks down on us!"

He felt there must be something fishy going on.

Wang Fan's stomach growled with hunger as he cursed.

"Don't rush yet, I need to confirm something..."

"We'll be back."

Su Yun kept him in suspense.

He discovered that this parallel world hadn't yet figured out what kind of village Tazhai Village was.

Of course, Su Yun wasn't entirely clear either.

If it was really as he suspected, or as it was in his previous life, then Tazhai Village might be related to rock sugar...

As dusk fell, Su Yun quietly approached Tazhai Village through a small path.

The village committee building, the largest building in Tazhai Village, if he remembered correctly, this should be where Village Director lived, right?

Before they could make any further moves, a whoosh... As expected, the next second, countless villagers wielding sticks rushed out from the alley.

"Holy crap..."

"A bunch of unruly villagers!"

Wang Fan was dumbfounded.

Su Yun, however, remained composed and calm.

It was just as he had guessed.

The entire Tazhai Village, every street and alley, was equipped with high-definition surveillance cameras.

Their appearance at the village committee building was naturally in the heart of Tazhai Village.

Soon after being surrounded, a figure incredibly familiar from his memories appeared.

He wore a Zhongshan suit, and his build wasn't particularly robust.

However, his appearance caused countless villagers around him to make way, showing immense respect.

"Uncle Dong, Uncle Dong!"

The newcomer was Village Director.

He glanced at the camera in Wang Fan's hand.

"You all can leave!"

"This is a misunderstanding!"

The villagers were stunned for a moment, then dispersed... Village Director waved his hand at Su Yun and his group.

Then he smiled, "Gentlemen, you've come to my Tazhai Village, what can I do for you?"

"Oh... it's like this, it's too late, and we have nowhere to stay."

"We thought about staying at a farmhouse inn in the village for a night..."

"The owner didn't agree, so we thought we'd sneak into the village and find an ancestral hall to make do for the night..."

"Who knew, we were inexplicably discovered by a bunch of unruly villagers!"

Su Yun feigned ignorance.

Hearing this, Village Director scrutinized them, looking at the two of them for a few more moments.

It was a good thing he had already sent all the villagers away... Otherwise, if they had heard Su Yun's words, some villagers might have immediately exploded in anger, right?

Their Tazhai Village had always maintained a clan system, with a family tree... The ancestral hall was considered the most important place by the villagers of Tazhai Village.

The spirit tablets of generations of ancestors were displayed there, with incense burning continuously... Village Director narrowed his eyes and pushed up his glasses.

"Is that so..."

"I'm really sorry, our Tazhai Village does have a rule that outsiders are not allowed to enter."

"These are rules left by our ancestors, and we must abide by them."

"However... seeing that you two are quite pitiful..."

"How about this, our Tazhai Village has a factory, you can stay there for a night!"

"I'll send someone to drive you!"

Village Director's attitude was very good, or rather, he was very hospitable towards them.

The driver was Lin Yaohua.

Sitting in the latest top-of-the-line Maybach, Wang Fan felt completely unreal: "Brother Yaohua, is everyone in your Tazhai Village so rich?"

"What kind of business do you all do?"

"Uh... it's alright, mainly our village implements a collective economy!"

"We all get rich together, we all make money together."

Lin Yaohua said no more, maintaining silence throughout the journey.

Upon arriving at the factory, Su Yun and Wang Fan were arranged in the staff dormitory.

"You two rest well, just call me if you need anything!"

After Lin Yaohua left, Wang Fan looked at the clean room, filled with smart furniture, and displayed the expression of a bumpkin who had never seen the world.

"Wow! Is this a staff dormitory?"

"Bro... the factory run by Tazhai Village, the benefits are too good, aren't they?"

"What's this? A plasma TV!?"

"Bro! How about we come here to work!"

Inside the staff dormitory, there were beds above desks, air conditioning, and a bathroom with separate wet and dry areas... Four beds in one dormitory.

It could be said that this setup was even better than some university student dormitories!

"Bro... we can finally stop squeezing onto one bed."

"I suddenly feel a little unaccustomed..."

Wang Fan's face turned red like a shy maiden.

Su Yun rolled his eyes: "Alright, hurry up and wash up and get ready for bed."

"I'm guessing you can't order takeout here either."

"There are snacks on the table, eat some to tide you over."

"I'm going out for a walk..."

As a transmigrator, and someone who understood the TV shows of his previous life very well, Su Yun was uneasy, extremely uneasy.

Tazhai Village was an extremely closed-off village, very exclusive of all outsiders... It was certain that Su Yun and his group's accidental entry into the village today was due to the live broadcast of the camera.

Thoughts of Village Director's ruthless methods kept flashing through his mind.

Su Yun went to the toilet at the end of the corridor in the staff dormitory.

"Sigh... it seems I'll have to stay here tonight."

As for verifying whether Tazhai Village produced rock sugar, that matter would have to be put aside for now.

After all, he didn't even have a chance to enter the village... If worst came to worst, he could just tip off Officer Hong and his group, letting them come here for a stroll.

Perhaps it would provide some clues to help them solve the high-purity rock sugar case?

Su Yun shook his head, intending to leave Tazhai Village tomorrow.

He squatted down.

A few minutes later... he reached out and pulled some paper from the tissue box.

Pure wood pulp paper, very comfortable, very expensive... Thinking that Tazhai Village was rich, Su Yun pulled out a few extra sheets and put them in his pocket.

Click!

Suddenly, something wrapped in tissue paper fell out.

What is it?

Su Yun picked it up and opened it.

"Eh?"

"This looks like a memory card, doesn't it?"

Small and black... Back in the room, Su Yun, curious, called over Wang Fan, who was playing King of Glory on his Huawei Mate 60.

He took the phone and inserted the memory card... "Hey, bro, what are you doing!"

"My Lanling King is on a rampage!"

"Bro, be careful, there might be a virus on the memory card!"

..."Three million!"

"I'll give you three million every month!"

"From now on, our Tazhai Village and you will be like grasshoppers on the same rope!"

"Think about your wife and children..."

"..."

The video was blurry, but the speaker's voice was very familiar: Village Director?

It was him, no doubt.

Could it be... Su Yun trembled.

He played the video from the memory card again.

Holy crap... A bone-chilling coldness shot to his head!

This... it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?

Su Yun's lips twitched.

If he remembered correctly, in the TV show about Tazhai Village from his previous life, Tazhai Village was eventually noticed by the police because of the video on that memory card, wasn't it?

This... Su Yun himself found it a little hard to believe.

He just went to the toilet casually, intending to pull out a few extra sheets of paper, and how, how did he pick up this crucial memory card that could bring down Tazhai Village?

Please... he really didn't mean to pick it up!

Although he still couldn't confirm whether Tazhai Village produced rock sugar, looking at the situation, it was probably eighty or ninety percent certain, right?

So, this is what it feels like to be a cheat?

A strange smile appeared on Su Yun's face.

"Bro, what's wrong with you?"

"Why are you grinning like an idiot?"

"Bro, don't scare me... I'm timid!"

Wang Fan didn't understand.

"Bro, this..."

"Where did you pick up this memory card?"

"I thought there might be some adult movies left by some great god..."

"Turns out it's two big men..."

"Boring!"

Wang Fan chuckled foolishly, completely a loser.

However, Su Yun didn't care at all.

He didn't explain much, and without hesitation, he pulled out his phone: "Officer Hong! I want to report a crime!"
