Chapter 3411 He's Been Waiting For You For Ages

The security guard remained completely unfazed.

This was because the village chief was his uncle, and in their tight-knit community, they always stuck together and never favored outsiders.

With directions from the people inside the ancestral hall, Hera found the village chief.

"You're the village chief, right?" Hera looked at the man in his fifties in front of her and spoke with an arrogant tone, completely unbothered.

"And you are?" The village chief, seeing her attitude, was puzzled. He had no idea whether she was an investor or someone looking to discuss a major partnership to bring

development to their quiet village.

"It doesn't matter who I am. I see you have surveillance here, and I need to review your footage," replied Hera.

The village chief was even more confused. "Are you a police officer?"

"No." Hera frowned. She thought reviewing surveillance footage was no big deal. Why was this village chief being so difficult?

The village chief gave her a look as if she were a fool and turned back to continue drinking tea with his friends.

Hera felt completely ignored, and her anger flared. She pointed at him and shouted, "Are you deaf? I want to review your surveillance footage!"

"Why would you need to review our footage if you're not a police officer?" The village chief was not ignorant of the law and was not intimidated by her demands.

"You..." Hera's eyes darted around. She had assumed that with enough forceful attitude, she could intimidate these rural folk into complying, but they were not falling for it at all. An idea popped into her head.

"I've lost something." Hera slammed her hand onto their table, causing some of the tea to spill.

The village chief clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Those were premium black tea, and spilling even a little made him wince in pain.

"What did you lose?" The village chief grabbed a couple of napkins and carefully wiped up the spill.

"A ring. A ring worth hundreds of thousands. I'm sure I lost it here. I need to check the surveillance footage to figure out what happened." Hera fabricated the story on the spot. A ring worth hundreds of thousands?

The village chief looked at her suspiciously, but as he looked at her appearance, it seemed plausible. He took out his phone and said, "In that case, I'll help you report it to the police. When they arrive, we can immediately review the footage."
