Chapter 146: Boss Xiao Goes Berserk on the Spot

Who leaked the news?

Bai Wentao is also overwhelmed, with no mind to guess riddles. Now the Executive faction is being suppressed all the way by the Political and Legal System; the outcome is already a foregone conclusion.

The three night‑time fools who went to dig things at Jingcheng's 37th Courtyard vanished into thin air on the night of the operation.

How could three living people just vanish into thin air?

Even thinking with your ass you could figure it out—those three big idiots were definitely arrested. Moreover, the contraband in the well and the remains of Guan Yushan have very likely been uncovered by Lin Dongfan.

The deadly sword of anti‑corruption already hangs over our heads.

It could pierce the heavenly crown at any moment.

These days, for fear of being scolded, Bai Wentao has kept the loss of Jingcheng's 37th Courtyard bottled up, not daring to report the truth to Xiao Yunce.

This directly caused Boss Xiao to mistakenly think everything was still under his control.

Sigh!

My sin!

Bai Wentao felt more and more ashamed; this time he really dragged Boss Xiao into trouble, leaving Xiao utterly unaware of the impending disaster and still fantasizing about turning the tide.

Now the Political and Legal System and the Provincial Anti‑Corruption Bureau have joined forces.

They not only seized the contraband at Jingcheng's 37th Courtyard, but with strong support from the Provincial Party Committee's No. 1 leader, they also took control of Shang Weiliang's remains, investigating the cause of death and extracting DNA.

If nothing unexpected happens,

tomorrow they will announce Shang Weiliang's true cause of death.

In this situation, painstakingly getting rid of Yang Qing is pointless! Even if you could conceal Shang Weiliang's true cause of death, you cannot hide the fact that Shang Weiliang is your love child.

All‑round loss of control!

Staying means a dead end!

Bai Wentao gathered his heavy feelings, steeled himself, and advised Xiao Yunce: "Mayor Xiao, given the current situation, we probably won't last until the April election; we should leave."

"There's a gamble; we might not lose."

Xiao Yunce kept his eyes fixed on the prosecutor's office door.

Calm and composed!

This left Bai Wentao speechless again; as expected, the high‑and‑mighty Boss Xiao was still fantasizing about turning the tide and sweeping away thousands of troops!

At that moment, Bai Wentao really wanted to spill the truth about the loss of the 37th Courtyard, to give Boss Xiao a wake‑up call.

But he couldn't muster the courage.

Everything is already set in stone; speaking up would just invite scolding. After serving as his secretary for so many years, hasn't he endured enough abuse?

Why invite humiliation? I'm not a wretch destined to lack scolding.

Forget it, forget it—if you won't go, I will.

Bai Wentao, disheartened, unfastened his seat belt, opened the door and got out: "I'm going to take a piss."

"Mm."

Xiao Yunce nodded in agreement, never imagining this was Bai Wentao's "urination escape" ultimate move.

After waiting in the car for ten‑plus minutes, Bai Wentao still hadn't returned.

He pulled out his phone, about to call Bai Wentao.

Lin Dongfan suddenly walked up and tapped the car window: "Mayor Xiao, I heard someone wants to get rid of Yang Qing—do you know about this?"

Although the streetlights were dim, his facial change was still clearly visible; he merely gave Lin Dongfan a cold sideways glance and rolled up the window.

At that moment Lin Dongfan also realized it.

Old Xiao was half angry, half aloof and disdainful of all beings! In his eyes, someone like me, a low‑level section chief, simply isn't qualified to talk to him.

Damn it!

A corrupt official on his deathbed still looks down on everyone!

What qualifies you to look down on me, your lord?

Now dealing with you, I, your lord, wouldn't even bother to bring out my background! If I really did, just dropping a name would be enough to crush you!

Lin Dongfan angrily slapped the window: "Don't shrink back—stick your head out and let's chat a bit!"

Probably reminded of a shrinking‑head turtle, his heart was stimulated.

The car window slowly descended.

But Xiao Yunce did not directly face Lin Dongfan standing outside the window, as if Lin Dongfan truly lacked the qualification to make him turn his head for another look.

He sat calmly in the car.

He sneered arrogantly: "Even your father‑in‑law wouldn't dare speak to me like this—do you think transferring your personnel file to the province means I can't control you?"

"Mayor Xiao, my heart isn't good." Lin Dongfan placed a hand on his chest: "Don't scare me."

Xiao Yunce finally turned his head to glance at Lin Dongfan, his smile still as contemptuous as ever: "Only now do you know fear—why didn't you act like a scared dog earlier?"

"You've misunderstood me." Lin Dongfan looked speechless.

Xiao Yunce sat there, holding an aloof, unshakable posture: "Want me to lift you up? Fine—give me a reason to forgive you."

"I said don't misunderstand…" Lin Dongfan spoke lightly: "When I say my heart isn't good, I mean my mood easily flies into a rage—whoever threatens me, I'll take them on."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Yunce's face instantly darkened.

His gaze was cold and dark like a blade.

He opened the door and stepped out, coldly looking down on Lin Dongfan: "Your heart isn't good—coincidentally, mine isn't either. I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words."

"Since your heart isn't good, I can relax." Lin Dongfan's eyes were like swords: "When Ding Yuxia learned her son Shang Weiliang had been killed, she broke down and would bite anyone."

Xiao Yunce suppressed his anger with a smile: "Was it you who told her?"

"It was necessary; she has the right to know."

Saying this, Lin Dongfan turned on his phone's recording function and held the phone like a microphone to Xiao Yunce.

He eagerly asked: "May I interview you? What do you think about Ding Yuxia calling you a beast?"

You damn bastard!

Xiao Yunce angrily snatched Lin Dongfan's phone, swung his arm and threw it; a whimper came from the roadside far away, and a stray dog, hit by it, sprang up and ran.

Alas!

Lin Dongfan shook his head regretfully.

He then pulled another phone from his pocket, held it up as a microphone to Xiao Yunce and said: "Next week the city will conduct a major sanitation inspection; as acting Mayor, what are your thoughts on littering?"

Get lost!

This time Xiao Yunce truly felt his heart wasn't up to snuff; he couldn't catch his breath, feeling only waves of tight pain in his chest.

He turned and dove back into the car; the door was pulled shut with a bang.

Lin Dongfan chased all the way to the car window: "Mayor Xiao, I have fast-acting heart pills; would you like one? Free…"

Get lost!!!

In his despair, Xiao Yunce flung away the half‑bottle of mineral water he had left.

Unfortunately, it didn't hit the agile Lin Dongfan.

Seeing this bastard Lin Dongfan cling like a relentless plague god, thrusting his head forward, Xiao Yunce hastily rolled up the window.

Lin Dongfan lightly tapped the car window, persistently calling out: "Mayor Xiao, I'm fairly free tonight; want to come out and threaten me again? I guarantee I won't kill you."

Too much!

Damn, that's too much!

A son‑in‑law of the Chu family actually became this arrogant!

Xiao Yunce, sitting in the car, closed his eyes and silently digested his endless anger.

But this surge of anger was simply impossible to swallow.

He pulled out his phone and furiously cursed Bai Wentao: "Where the hell have you been? Get back here right now! No matter what you do, make that Lin disappear immediately! If he doesn't disappear, I'll make you disappear!"

Understood.

Roar all you want—Bai Wentao, already seated in a taxi, had no intention of continuing to play the grandson.

After hanging up, he immediately switched SIM cards, thereby cutting all ties with the Nanzhou officialdom.

He thought, "You don't need to tell me to disappear—I'll vanish on my own. Bye-bye."
