The crowd was already in a state of fury, their voices roaring in anger.
"You said you'd give us an answer next week, but you started construction today—clearly breaking your word!"
"Exactly! You corrupt officials collude with each other, just a pack of liars."
"Fellow villagers, let's go together—protect Qingshi Mountain!"
At this moment, the villagers surged forward like a raging tide.
The police simply couldn't withstand such a terrifying force.
Next, fists rained down like a storm, smashing onto the heads of the officials.
"Protect Mayor Wu! Quickly! Protect the Mayor first!"
Huang Ming, enduring his pain, firmly shielded Wu Liang behind him.
However, Wu Liang, being the highest-ranking official present, naturally received "special attention" from the crowd.
Finally, under extreme effort from several police officers, he managed to crawl out of the crowd in a sorry state.
He no longer cared about his appearance, covering his swollen cheek as he dashed into the car.
