Chapter 115: Li Jiaci, you have no martial virtue!

In contrast, Jin Ailing appeared very calm.

Even when facing dozens of cameras just now, she remained composed and showed no sign of stage fright.

It seemed as if she were already accustomed to such interviews.

On the other hand, Xiao Cui was very excited.

"Li Lao Ban, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

Li Jiaci patted his shoulder, signaling him to relax.

Then he straightened up and let out a breath.

That punch just now almost made him throw up his breakfast.

"Xiao Cui, what is the premise of our cooperation?"

"Is it integrity? No, it's my personal safety, damn it!"

"The personal safety of the several dozen employees of my factory!"

"If I ever kick the bucket..."

"You want to discuss integrity with me down there?"

Upon hearing that,

Xiao Cui looked at him with a complex expression.

Suddenly, he had a feeling of sudden realization.

This guy.

What international consultant.

What a visit to the timber factory.

This is all Li Jiaci's excuse!

He's been using them from start to finish?

Thinking this, Xiao Cui clenched his fist and swung at Li Jiaci's stomach.

Li Jiaci quickly grabbed his incoming fist with his hand, then bent back his fingers one by one and held them tightly.

"Stop fooling around, I can't handle you martial artists!"

"Li Jiaci, you have no martial virtue!"

"Yes, I have no martial virtue, didn't give you a heads‑up, but I had no choice!"

Li Jiaci wanted to pull Xiao Cui down to sit.

But Xiao Cui directly shook off his hand.

Helpless, Li Jiaci had to say: "Xiao Cui, ever since my factory started working with you, people have constantly been tripping me up behind the scenes, repeatedly getting me arrested, and now there are two seriously injured drivers lying in the hospital!"

"What do you mean? Are those people targeting you, or us?"

Xiao Cui turned around and asked suspiciously.

Li Jiaci waved his hand.

"They're targeting us, we…!"

"If you don't supply me with that timber, my factory won't last long!"

"But your forces in Bei Bang are huge, they dare not move against you, so they're damn well picking on me!"

"If I don't think of a solution, our cooperation will surely go bust!"

After saying all that,

Xiao Cui seemed to understand.

Li Jiaci's current situation is indeed worrying.

If it weren't for Jin Ailing holding things down, whether this batch of vehicles could return safely today would still be uncertain.

Such incidents happen every now and then.

Xiao Cui treats Li Jiaci as a friend.

If he didn't fully trust Li Jiaci, he wouldn't have dared to come to this unfamiliar Huaguo.

Anger aside.

He still understands the reasoning.

If Li Jiaci had a way to resolve it, how would he dare put the Colonel's people in danger?

That would be like courting death, wouldn't it?

Xiao Cui's expression softened.

"You should have told me about this sooner!"

"Let us be mentally prepared!"

Li Jiaci nodded repeatedly in agreement.

He persuaded Xiao Cui to sit down, then poured drinks for both of them.

"I'm at fault for not consulting you beforehand!"

"Well, now that everyone's spoken openly, I formally ask for your help!"

"Of course I won't have you help for free—once it's done, I'll give you 200,000 as a thank‑you!"

"All you need to do is tell the truth in front of the media!"

200,000?

Upon hearing that number, Xiao Cui couldn't help but frown.

This guy is really generous with his money.

Just flap your lips and you can easily make 200,000 for free!

But when it involves money transactions, the definition of the matter is different.

We have to ask the Colonel what he means.

Just as Xiao Cui was hesitating.

Jin Ailing suddenly slapped the table.

The shock sent garlic cloves flying.

"Okay, then two hundred thousand!"

"We'll help you!"

As soon as those words were spoken.

Li Jiaci quickly smiled and peeled a clove of garlic for her.

"We've agreed on that, no going back!"

"Do I look like someone who would go back on their word?"

Jin Ailing gave him a deadly stare.

Seeing that, Li Jiaci shook his head.

"Not at all!"

Xiao Cui was completely bewildered.

The matter was decided by the major; do we still need to report to the Colonel?

After thinking it over, Xiao Cui suddenly shook his head.

Screw him.

Whoever is in front of me, I'll listen to them!

Li Jiaci opened the office door.

He had the waiting reporters come in.

"Sorry about earlier!"

"On their first day after coming all this way, they encountered such a shocking violent incident!"

"Their emotions are a bit sensitive, but I've already settled them!"

"Now feel free to come in anytime for interviews!"

A sea of reporters surged into the office.

Faced with endless questions, Jin Ailing remained calm and composed.

She fully displayed the bearing of a female commander.

The next day.

Bureau Chief's office.

Zhao Dezheng hung up the call from the province, his face grim as he clenched his fists.

Last night, television suddenly broke an urgent international news story.

Two military personnel from Bei Bang Guo suffered a violent attack within Huaguo, and the severity of the incident directly affects his career.

If mishandled, Zhao Dezheng's dismissal and investigation would be minor; but if it impacts relations between the two countries, Huaguo's international image and so on, then it becomes a major issue.

Zhao Dezheng was so worried he couldn't sleep all night.

Early that morning, the province's accountability call came through.

This matter cannot wait; it must be handled seriously!

Thump thump thump.

Someone knocked on the office door.

"Come in."

Zhao Dezheng rubbed his brow.

The person who came in, Maozi, first glanced at his expression, then cautiously said, "Chief Zhao, I asked yesterday's switchboard colleagues, and they said they didn't receive Li Jiaci's police call..."

"None?"

"They've already gone to the media to expose it, and you lot are still trying to cover it up!"

"Do you know how big an impact this has?"

"Damn it, even my old man is now thinking about where to bury himself after death!"

"Unless the higher-ups drag each of you in for a strict investigation, you won't tell the truth, right?"

Zhao Dezheng jumped up in anger.

Red-faced, he pointed at Maozi in front of him and unleashed a torrent of scolding.

Maozi's heart skipped a beat, and he turned deathly pale from fright.

This matter...

Is it really that serious?!

Before he could even react,

Zhao Dezheng kicked him straight away.

"Damn it!"

"I'll give you ten minutes!"

"If you can't get it done, just go buy a shroud and we'll bury you together!"

Maozi heard those words.

He nodded, trembling with fear.

"Chief Zhao, I'll go take care of it right now... go!"

Get lost!

Although money can make ghosts turn the mill.

But in this world, there truly are things that money cannot solve.

Authority.

Authority stands above profit.

Nian Yong Mu Cai Chang

Zheng Degui counted the bills in his hand, letting out a cold laugh.

Heh.

This matter was handled splendidly!

Take the money and spend it freely, let the brothers have a taste of meat!

Having said that, he threw the bills in his hand forward.

The little brother's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Like a vicious dog pouncing on food, he lay on the ground picking up money.

At that moment.

A subordinate came running over in a hurry.

Boss, the precinct called!
