Chapter 767: Provoking the Dayu County Police!

"County Magistrate Jiang, please rest assured, I guarantee I will catch this bunch of bastards as soon as possible!"

"Don't try to pull the wool over my eyes; give me a specific time. How fast is 'as soon as possible'?"

"Three days, give me three days!"

"Two days. If you can't give me a result after two days, I will propose to the County Party Committee that we replace you in your position."

"Two days? Isn't that too tight?"

"See to it yourself! We've known each other for so long, you know my character! If you can't get it done, you'll bear the consequences."

Xing Zhijun walked out of the hospital room with a gloomy expression.

In fact, he had already had people go to investigate this case.

One kilometer away from the crime scene, they had already found the hit-and-run vehicle, but the people had long since vanished without a trace.

Obviously.

The other party had planned this for a long time and was fully prepared.

Xing Zhijun cursed inwardly: This bunch of people is too bold, daring to lay hands on the number one and number two of the Dayu County Government.

Damn it, this is a provocation against him!

A provocation against all the police of Dayu County!

The bodyguard Lao Jin had pulled a "golden cicada shedding its shell" escape.

He changed cars midway and left Dayu County at top speed.

After getting off the expressway, he went straight to a factory building.

Li Tian had been waiting here for a long time.

The group got out of the car.

Li Tian immediately had his men place the boxes full of money in front of them.

The eyes of this group glowed red, revealing their greed.

Although the light in the factory was dim, Li Tian noticed that several of these people had bruised noses and swollen faces.

He had seen that Tang Ye's skills were not bad; from this detail, he could confirm that this group had indeed gone to carry out the mission.

And, they had suffered a setback.

"Here is 120,000, which is 20,000 more than we agreed upon," Li Tian said to one of them, in a great mood. "Take the money and use it first. Once the heat dies down after a while, come back and work for me. As long as you are loyal enough, I will never treat you unfairly."

"Boss Li, you are truly generous! We will just wait for your notice. If there are any dirty or tiring jobs in the future, just tell us brothers; we definitely won't let you down!"

"Alright, hurry up and go! Remember, don't show your faces before I contact you." Li Tian was still uneasy and gave a special instruction once more.

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing!"

The leader greeted his accomplices and climbed into a white van.

Li Tian also got into his own sedan.

The bodyguard Lao Jin sat in the passenger seat.

Li Tian asked, "Tell me properly about the process of beating that grandson today."

Although Li Tian had not been at the scene, he wanted to find some sense of vicarious satisfaction from the bodyguard's account.

Lao Jin began to narrate vividly:

"That guy surnamed Tang made an appointment with a friend to have a late-night snack today.

We waited for them to finish eating and suddenly launched a sneak attack in a remote place.

The guy surnamed Tang's skills weren't bad; at first, several people surrounded him, and he was still able to handle it with ease.

As soon as I saw this situation, I quickly thought of a clever plan and drove the car to ram his companion.

Once the guy surnamed Tang's attention was distracted, he revealed a flaw. In the end, everyone swarmed him, knocked him to the ground, and he was beaten until he knelt and begged for mercy.

If it weren't for someone passing by later, we were afraid we wouldn't be able to get away, otherwise we definitely would have beaten him until he was dead or crippled!"

Li Tian's eyes lost their excitement, and he said disappointedly, "You didn't cripple him? It would have been best to dismantle his arm to vent my anger!"

Lao Jin calculated in his heart: Since Li Tian wasn't at the scene anyway, why shouldn't he brag however he wanted right now?

So he said proudly, "Although I didn't dismantle his arm, I can be sure that his friend is seriously injured.

I drove into him at the time, hitting his friend's leg directly, and I even reversed and ran over it again. His leg must be broken!"

Li Tian slapped his thigh and laughed, "Not bad, hitting his friend until he's crippled, that's quite satisfying too."

The bodyguard asked again, "We didn't reveal our identities; will he know that this is the price for offending you?"

Li Tian waved his hand, "Whether he knows or not, this pent-up anger has finally been vented.

Although this kid is hateful, he is a government official after all, and he came over from another province for an exchange.

We can't be too blatant, otherwise it will cause big trouble."

The bodyguard nodded quickly and gave Li Tian a thumbs up: "You are still the one who considers things thoroughly!"

Returning home.

Li Tian was preparing to sneak back to his room on tiptoe.

The living room light suddenly turned on.

Li Tian was startled and slowly turned around, only to see his father, Li Zhongling, suddenly appearing behind him, staring at him with sharp eyes.

A bitter smile immediately piled up on Li Tian's face: "You scared me. Dad, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Li Zhongling's eyes were full of anger: "Didn't I tell you? Don't run around during this recent period, why are you still out fooling around?"

Li Tian showed a wronged expression: "Dad, you haven't let me leave the house recently, I'm almost growing mushrooms on myself. I just went to chat with a friend for a while, I didn't touch a drop of alcohol, I definitely didn't cause you any trouble!"

Li Zhongling slammed the table and said angrily, "Don't give me that cheeky smile! You haven't repented at all! Stay home honestly, if there is a next time, watch out or I'll break your legs!"

Li Tian hurriedly curried favor: "Dad, I'll listen to you; I won't go anywhere lately!"

Just at this moment, Li Zhongling's cell phone rang.

"Boss Li, this is Qiao Lin. I'm telling you some bad news. Tomorrow's meeting is canceled."

"Did something happen?"

From the other end of the phone came Qiao Lin's helpless voice: "Yes, I just received notice that County Magistrate Jiang was attacked and is now hospitalized with serious injuries."

Li Zhongling hurriedly asked with concern: "Is County Magistrate Jiang's condition very serious? Do you need me to help him find a hospital with better conditions?"

"No need!

By the way, I'm reminding you to tell your subordinates active in Dayu to keep a low profile lately.

Dayu County is about to launch a special anti-gang operation.

Sigh, the public security here is really too poor.

That group of people has no sense of proportion; fortunately, County Magistrate Jiang is fine, otherwise, we would have to let the SWAT team intervene and handle it according to counter-terrorism procedures."

Hanging up the phone, Li Zhongling's expression became exceptionally grave.

In order to secure the City Square project, he had sought out many connections back and forth before finally establishing a link with Jiang Anbang.

But now, just as it was about to enter the critical stage of negotiations, Jiang Anbang was hospitalized with serious injuries, which meant the negotiations were missing an important supporter; the meeting being postponed was quite reasonable.

"Damn it, who exactly would dare to attack Jiang Anbang? Could it be a competitor?"

Li Tian saw that his father's mood was off and asked cautiously: "Dad, what happened?"

Li Zhongling sighed: "There's a problem with the Dayu County City Square project. County Magistrate Jiang, whom we have been in contact with, was hit by a car and seriously injured."

Li Tian said in confusion: "The City Square project is highly controversial; why do we have to take on this unfinished project?"

Li Zhongling glared at him irritably.

"You are too insensitive!

Dayu County just received 50 million in funding support from the city, so there will definitely be good development ahead.

Although that City Square is unfinished, hundreds of millions have already been invested in the early stages.

Now that we can acquire it at a low price, whether we build it ourselves later or flip it to someone else, it's a business deal that's guaranteed to make a profit.

To think they would dare to use such low-down tricks!

Hmph, if it's found out who it is, I will absolutely skin them alive!"
