Chapter 685: The Script Was Arranged Very Well!

Hearing the gunshot, Tang Ye hurried toward the sound.

The thorns in the shrubbery tore his trousers and even left two gashes on his skin; because the wounds were not deep and due to the adrenaline, Tang Ye did not feel any pain.

Finally arriving at the hunting scene, he saw several hunting dogs raised by the villagers surrounding a massive wild boar.

The wild boar had been shot in the neck and was howling in anger.

A hunting dog rushed over and bit the wild boar's hind leg; the boar let out two sharp squeals, gave its body a violent shake, and the dog was flung away, slamming heavily into a tree, after which it whined in agony—it was visibly quite seriously injured.

Among the villagers were experienced hunters, and at this moment, their faces were full of gravity because they knew the origin of this wild boar.

"This is the Ye Zhu Wang; it charged into the village before and hurt people."

"My cousin was ambushed by it and had his leg bitten, leaving him permanently disabled."

"We previously formed a special hunting team, but it seemed to know and went into hiding."

"Everyone be careful, its intelligence is exceptionally high!"

Qiao Wansen was holding his rifle at this moment, feeling particularly exhilarated; this was the spirit flowing in a soldier's bones.

The wild boar was an animal with extremely high intelligence; it knew it had encountered danger today and, in this life-or-death moment, began to charge left and right.

The hunting dogs raised by the villagers were extremely brave; knowing the opponent was powerful, they still adopted a strategy of outnumbering it, entangling it one after another and blocking the wild boar's path.

The Ye Zhu Wang felt its blood constantly draining; if this continued, its stamina would be exhausted, and its blood would eventually run dry.

It suddenly roared in anger and charged straight toward Qiao Wansen.

Based on its judgment, the Ye Zhu Wang had realized that Qiao Wansen was the key to this group, and in its dying moments, it detonated all its energy for a retaliatory charge!

Savage Charge!

The hunting dogs blocking its path were sent flying directly.

Dust was kicked up in an instant, and the shrubs were snapped in half by the impact.

The two young soldiers had solemn faces, holding their breath and focusing as they stood in front of Qiao Wansen.

Qiao Wansen remained calm; he pulled the bolt, decisively pulled the trigger, and accurately hit the wild boar's head and heart.

In Qiao Wansen's view, these two shots were very accurate.

Stung by the pain, the Ye Zhu Wang changed its trajectory, but just when everyone thought it was going to flee the scene, it braked sharply, bypassed the two soldiers' defense from the right, and charged at Qiao Wansen.

Qiao Wansen was taken aback and instinctively raised his gun to pull the trigger again, but he still underestimated the Ye Zhu Wang's agility, and in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of him.

At this moment, he felt his body lighten, and he was pushed away.

By the time Qiao Wansen reacted, he discovered the Ye Zhu Wang had collapsed in the spot where he had just been standing.

Looking to his side, he saw Tang Ye panting as he looked at him.

"Boss Qiao, are you alright!"

Qiao Wansen realized that Tang Ye had pushed him away in the nick of time; otherwise, if he had been gored by the dying Ye Zhu Wang, he would likely have been killed or at least seriously injured.

"I'm fine! There is a saying: first the tiger, second the bear, third the boar; the combat power of this wild boar is truly terrifying."

Qiao Wansen realized at this moment that he had brushed shoulders with death, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

At this time, the Party Branch Secretary Lao Cui walked over and said to Qiao Wansen, "Boss Qiao, thank you for helping us eliminate this pest."

Qiao Wansen did not understand the meaning and asked in confusion, "Pest? What do you mean?"

Party Branch Secretary Cui explained, "This wild boar has come down from the mountain into the village many times to hurt people. We once organized a team of hunters to go up the mountain to track it, but we searched for a month and couldn't find it. I didn't expect we would run into it this time."

Originally thinking it was just a hunt, he hadn't expected to be able to eliminate a pest for the common people, and Qiao Wansen immediately felt pleased.

"It's all thanks to these soldiers and the old hunters in the village."

Tang Ye said with a smile, "Boss Qiao, don't be so modest; you have quite a connection with this mountain."

Qiao Wansen was in high spirits, "I didn't expect such a big harvest from this hunt."

Tang Ye saw Secretary Zhu finally catching up from a distance and waved at Secretary Zhu, "Secretary, hurry over and take some photos."

Qiao Wansen was all smiles, "Yes, yes, yes, let's take a group photo to commemorate this."

Secretary Zhu saw a huge wild boar lying on the ground, its body covered in bloody holes, with fresh blood continuously oozing out.

A foul, fishy stench filled the air, and he subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand; his throat churned, and he almost vomited.

However, after composing himself slightly, Secretary Zhu still walked in front of the wild boar and Qiao Wansen and took out his digital camera.

Qiao Wansen held his rifle and squatted beside the wild boar; after the flash went off a few times, he waved at Tang Ye, "County Magistrate Tang, let's take a photo together."

Tang Ye smiled, walked to Qiao Wansen's side, and gave a thumbs-up to the camera.

Afterward, Tang Ye called the villagers over to take photos.

After taking the photos, the villagers discussed heading down the mountain.

They had caught pheasants and hares on their way up, and with this Ye Zhu Wang, they were returning fully loaded.

Tang Ye deliberately lagged a few steps behind and whispered to Party Branch Secretary Cui, "The organization today was good; the script was arranged very well."

Party Branch Secretary Cui was stunned for a long while, then laughed in spite of himself, "County Magistrate Tang, we really did eliminate a pest today; it wasn't deliberately arranged. You appeared very timely; if you hadn't pulled Boss Qiao away in time, something major would likely have happened."

Hearing this, a cold sweat broke out on Tang Ye's back.

If something had happened to Qiao Wansen, he would likely have been unable to escape the blame.

However, the result was good.

Nothing went wrong at the critical moment, and he had even accidentally saved Qiao Wansen.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, it was already five o'clock.

Many villagers had gathered at the entrance of the village; seeing the hunting team carrying a giant wild boar down the mountain, they all came over to check the situation.

"Party Branch Secretary Cui, this pig is huge; I'm afraid it weighs eight hundred pounds, right?"

"This wild boar is that man-injuring Ye Zhu Wang; we happened to run into it today, and it was quite a struggle to kill it."

"Who killed it?"

"Everyone should thank Boss Qiao; he fired the final few shots, and his marksmanship is very accurate."

"Boss Qiao, that was amazing."

The villagers had originally been quite resistant to Boss Qiao and his group, feeling that these rich people were relying on having a bit of filthy money to come into the mountains and throw their weight around.

But they hadn't expected them to kill the wicked Ye Zhu Wang, and in an instant, everyone's attitude toward Boss Qiao and the Government cadres did a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn!

Tang Ye secretly observed Qiao Wansen's expression, but there was no fluctuation on Qiao Wansen's face.

Tang Ye thought silently, Qiao Wansen, I hope you lose yourself amidst the sounds of gratitude and praise.

A faint fragrance drifted from beside him; he turned to look and saw Secretary Zhu looking at him with a face full of concern.

"County Magistrate Tang, you're injured; your trousers are stained red with blood."

Tang Ye realized it, only then feeling a burning pain coming from his lower leg, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Secretary Zhu, I'm fine!"

Secretary Zhu knew how Tang Ye had gotten this injury!

She had just looked through the photo album on the digital camera.

When the wild boar had charged at Qiao Wansen earlier, Secretary Zhu had been frantically pressing the shutter.

Not only did she record the scene of the Ye Zhu Wang before it died!

She also recorded the moment Tang Ye saved Qiao Wansen!
