Hearing Zhang Qiang’s unbelievably arrogant "I am the law," Xu Wendong almost burst out laughing. He hadn’t expected the guy to be so lawless.
Maybe he was indeed quite powerful before, capable of having everything his way.
Zhang Qiang’s fate was about to change drastically. In all likelihood, for the rest of his life, his only companion would be a sewing machine.
And he’d be singing iron window tears almost every day...
Deng Wencheng had a gloomy expression, gritting his teeth: "Chengqian Town has 150,000 people, and yet you claim to be the law? Are you trying to put yourself above the citizens?"
"That’s exactly the case!" Zhang Qiang’s face was full of arrogance: "In this town, I, Zhang Qiang, am the one who dictates everything. While I can’t decide when the sun rises, I can decide if Chengqian Town has sunny or cloudy weather."
"If I’m in a good mood, the town has sunny days."
"If I’m in a bad mood, it’s overcast."
"Go ask around; who on the grand Chengqiang Street dares to go against my words?" He was arrogant, acting as if he really had become the emperor of the town.
Deng Wencheng was furious: "Even if ordinary people can’t manage you, I don’t believe the police station can’t!"
As soon as he said this.
Zhang Qiang and his lackeys behind him all burst out laughing.
"The police station?" Zhang Qiang had a mocking smile: "You think I’m being cocky without some backing? I’ll tell you, the head of the police station is my brother-in-law!"
"No wonder you’re so arrogant. So it’s collusion between officials and criminals, huh? Good, very good, excellent!" Deng Wencheng’s face was dark: "Today, I want to see how hard your backing is." With that, he clenched his fist and punched Zhang Qiang in the face.
Deng Wencheng had previously been in the military, and while his work over the years had tempered his temper, he couldn’t endure this any longer.
He landed a solid punch on Zhang Qiang’s nose.
Zhang Qiang’s nose instantly caved in, blood gushing, looking miserable.
"Old Deng, way to go, you still got that fire in you!" Xu Wendong grinned, surprised that Deng Wencheng, at his age, still had such an explosive burst of energy.
Deng Wencheng snorted.
He couldn’t quite understand why Xu Wendong could stay so calm.
Honestly, if Xu Wendong had taken action.
He wouldn’t have to do it himself.
"Damn it, you dare to hit me?" Zhang Qiang’s eyes were bloodshot, clutching his nose, he shouted angrily at his lackeys: "Get them, take them out!"
Zhang Qiang’s lackeys hadn’t expected Deng Wencheng to make a move, especially since their boss had already namedropped the police station, so under normal circumstances, they would choose to swallow their anger.
Yet, this guy hit so ruthlessly.
Hearing their boss’s yell, they shouted and rushed at Deng Wencheng.
Although Deng Wencheng was quite capable, in the cramped space, he was no match for so many people.
Li Zhenfeng’s driver was quite skilled, and with the two of them joining forces, they easily took care of Zhang Qiang’s lackeys. Throughout the whole process, Xu Wendong didn’t lift a finger; he just ate meat, watching them perform.
It was truly delightful!
"You’re dead meat!" Even though he was beaten, Zhang Qiang still wore a vicious smile.
He immediately pulled out his phone and dialed a number: "Brother-in-law, I got beaten at the mutton soup shop. My men are seriously injured. Bring people over quickly!"
On the other end of the phone, a low voice came: "Don’t worry, I’m coming right now!"
After hanging up, Zhang Qiang grinned: "You’re all finished, I’ll let you know the consequences of offending me!"
"Is that so?" Deng Wencheng wiped the blood off his hands, sneering: "I’m curious to see what your reinforcements can do to us."
"Come on, eat up, or the dishes will get cold!" Xu Wendong enthusiastically invited the three to dine.
Deng Wencheng gave him a disdainful look: "Don’t blame me for being harsh, you’re useless."
He was quite frustrated with Xu Wendong.
You’re supposedly the underground boss of the county town, yet in a little town, you’re cornered and troubled.
If they hadn’t run into this situation, Xu Wendong would surely have handled it well.
But the issue was, they happened to be trapped in that room too.
The other side even boasted arrogantly they could have everything their way.
This made him, the head of the political and legal system, feel quite humiliated, exposing his dereliction of duty in front of Li Zhenfeng.
He was quite displeased with Xu Wendong at the moment.
Xu Wendong chuckled unkindly: "Blame me?"
Li Zhenfeng’s voice rang out: "Your work is indeed lacking!"
Deng Wencheng shivered, quickly responding: "You’re right, I will definitely focus on improving the situation here."
Li Zhenfeng’s face revealed no emotion: "As long as you’re aware of it. It’s one thing if we run into such an encounter, but it mustn’t happen to others. We can’t let others see the ugly and dirty side here!"
"Yes, yes, I know what to do," Deng Wencheng replied, looking like a cautious schoolboy.
Although he previously found Xu Wendong quite unpleasant.
He was very grateful to Xu Wendong.
If it weren’t for Xu Wendong, they wouldn’t have witnessed such a dirty scene here.
If in the future, similar encounters happened to other tourists, it would be a catastrophic blow to this place.
It would destroy everything built with enormous effort.
It would ruin the future of this place.
And also ruin the future of Qingyuan County.
Overhearing, Zhang Qiang couldn’t help but frown. The way they talked was reminiscent of people in the system, giving him an ominous feeling.
Could they be officials from some agency?
The thought had just occurred to him before he dismissed it. His brother-in-law was, after all, the head of the police station, so if any big shots came to the town for inspection, he would surely receive information.
Even if it was a low-key visit, why would such big figures come here for mutton soup?
Just as he was still processing this, Xu Wendong’s voice chimed in: "Zhang Qiang, right? We haven’t interacted before, have we? Why did you bring people to trouble me?"
Zhang Qiang viciously spat out blood, his gaze venomous: "You didn’t offend me, but you offended my brother."
Xu Wendong sighed in disappointment.
He understood that today’s commotion was surely orchestrated by some people from Qingshan Village.
It was quite disappointing.
But, he didn’t mind playing along with some individuals from Qingshan Village.
After all, to him, their tactics seemed like child’s play.
Just then, an angry voice came from outside: "Who the hell is so bold, daring to commit robbery on the street and harm my Hu Dahai’s brother-in-law? Tired of living?"
With that, Hu Dahai barged in with a group of officers, booming with authority.
And the moment he saw Deng Wencheng, he couldn’t help but frown.
Why did this guy seem familiar???
