204: Chapter 204: Acting Pretentious Will Get You Struck by Lightning 204: Chapter 204: Acting Pretentious Will Get You Struck by Lightning Xiang Yu was feeling a bit irritated, dealing with the matters on the official scene was troublesome, and the paths were twisting.
He couldn’t possibly use extreme methods to kill them all.
That would cause great social upheaval, which was not what Xiang Yu wanted to see.
For now, Xiang Yu could only wait for news from Su Guangrui.
He could only speak with the municipal party secretary first to see what kind of person this secretary was.
“Don’t worry about things here, I can handle them,” Lan Tingting said confidently.
She somewhat regretted having asked Xiang Yu and the others to come over since they were prone to act impulsively, which could complicate matters.
“Call me if there’s anything.” Xiang Yu made arrangements before leaving.
By the time he returned to the guild house, it was already the afternoon.
Xiang Yu lay there, contemplating his next move.
That’s when Shi Jian called.
“Bro Yu, be careful lately.
It seems that Ouyang Ke can’t hold back any longer,” Shi Jian said worriedly.
“What happened?” Xiang Yu asked.
It turned out that Shi Jian, Ouyang Xiu, and a few brothers were investigating something when suddenly a car charged at them.
Thankfully, Shi Jian reacted swiftly and pushed Ouyang Xiu out of the way, or it would have been tragic.
The driver, due to excessive speed, crashed directly into a wall and died upon impact.
On the surface, it seemed to be just an ordinary car accident, but it was actually a premeditated murder, and the only person capable of orchestrating such an act was Ouyang Ke.
“You and Ouyang Xiu should go into hiding and avoid appearing in public for now.
I’ll handle this matter,” Xiang Yu said simply.
Initially, Xiang Yu had wanted Ouyang Xiu to deal with Ouyang Ke, since it was all private family affairs, but now it seemed that Ouyang Ke was truly formidable, with his power extending to many people, including high-ranking officials in politics.
“I’m worried they might target you,” Shi Jian said.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful,” Xiang Yu replied.
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yu knew that their war with Ouyang Ke had officially begun.
In the afternoon, Su Guangrui called him.
The municipal party secretary Mo Aiguo had twenty minutes available at ten o’clock the next morning.
He had already discussed it with Mo Aiguo’s secretary to arrange a meeting for Xiang Yu during that time.
The schedules of these senior leaders were generally very tight with little free time.
The fact that he could have twenty minutes to meet the municipal party secretary Mo Aiguo was definitely a significant influence of Su Guangrui.
Sitting there, Xiang Yu felt a bit thirsty and wanted Tie Zhuzi to pour him a glass of water, only to realize that Tie Zhuzi and Little Xuan had both run off somewhere.
He didn’t ask further and continued pondering his next move.
After dropping Xiang Yu at the guild house, Tie Zhuzi and Little Xuan left.
“Little Xuan, do you think that guy in the uniform just now deserves a lesson?” Tie Zhuzi said angrily, not pleased with how someone had dared to glare and puff up in front of Xiang Yu.
Little Xuan didn’t speak, merely nodding, and the two agreed to take proper action against this Section Chief Yang.
They found out that this Section Chief Yang’s wife was a traffic police officer, known for her bad reputation and arrogant attitude, showing disrespect to others.
Tie Zhuzi and his companion had stolen her phone, then anxiously called Section Chief Yang Sen.
“Section Chief Yang, hurry to the hospital.
Your wife has been hit by a car, she’s about to breathe her last.
Come and see her for the last time,” Tie Zhuzi said tensely over the phone.
On the other end, Yang Sen was stunned by the news; it was undoubtedly a disaster for him.
He put down his work and drove frantically to the hospital.
The phone rang again, with the same voice.
“Chief Yang, I just received a call from the kindergarten teacher saying your daughter has been kidnapped.
The criminals are currently in a standoff with the police at the kindergarten, threatening to kill the child,” Tie Zhuzi said anxiously, and then he hung up.
He then grinned at Xiao Xuan and asked, “What do you think, which place will he head to first?”
Xiao Xuan shook his head and made no comment.
“I think he’ll go to the kindergarten, let’s head there and see,” Tie Zhuzi said, pulling Xiao Xuan with him to the kindergarten, where he parked the car outside and waited.
Now, having received the tragic news of his wife being hit by a bus, Yang Sen had lost his rationale.
He desperately wanted to see his wife, to see her one last time.
But on his way there, he received news of his daughter’s kidnapping.
His analytical abilities were gone; he instinctively drove to the kindergarten.
These two pieces of devastating news in such a short time were almost too much for him to handle.
He sped to the kindergarten’s entrance and got out of his car, intending to rush inside, but the gate was firmly shut, and he couldn’t enter.
He shouted frantically at the gate, which prompted a security guard to come out and point at him, “What are you doing?
Stop causing trouble here!”
Completely irrational by this point, Yang Sen’s only thought was to see his daughter.
He couldn’t contain himself any longer, then he drove his car straight into the gate, breaking it open.
Getting out of the car, he sprinted towards his daughter’s classroom as fast as if he were running a hundred meters in nine seconds, the security guards unable to catch up.
He kicked the classroom door open.
All the children, including the teacher, were scared out of their wits by the sudden intrusion of this madman.
“Daddy!” At that moment, a little girl called out and ran towards him.
Yang Sen stood there, stunned, as the scene before him was nothing like he had imagined.
When the little girl called out “Daddy” again, he finally snapped back to reality, realizing he had been played.
That’s when the security guards rushed in and escorted Yang Sen downstairs.
It wasn’t until they reached the bottom of the stairs that they let go of Yang Sen.
“I’m really sorry; I didn’t do this on purpose…” Yang Sen hastily apologized.
This made him suspect that even the news of his wife being hit might be false.
He immediately took out his phone and called his wife’s colleague, relieved to learn she was at work and had only lost her phone.
Seeing this, Tie Zhuzi couldn’t help but rock back and forth with laughter in the car.
Xiao Xuan also couldn’t help but chuckle, finding some dark pleasure in how badly they had fooled Yang Sen.
Just then, a police car arrived; it seemed the kindergarten staff had called the police after all.
The “madman” had damaged the school gate—potentially a dangerous situation.
As Yang Sen was explaining himself, the phone rang again.
“Who the hell are you, and what do you want?” Yang Sen screamed into the phone.
“Chief Yang, I just want to tell you—stop fucking showing off.
Showing off can get you struck by lightning, you know?
Today was just a warning.
If you keep it up, I’ll get serious.
You better fix that gate quickly,” Tie Zhuzi said before hanging up without waiting for a response, leaving Yang Sen so furious that he smashed his phone…
