Chapter 290: Seeing Old Master Liu Again

"Mayor Li, Mayor Dai, why have you two come? It was my work that wasn't done well today, causing you trouble."

Seeing these two, Sun Chengjun immediately stood up and said.

The reason he said this was because public security was also under Li Hu's division of labor. If a problem arose here, Li Hu would also be the one to get spanked.

Li Hu took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and tossed it to Sun Chengjun, saying, "It doesn't matter. Although this kind of thing is the first time in the village, the signs have been there for a long time."

"And what's more hateful is that there are people fanning the flames behind this matter; it is not a simple incident at all."

"The reason I came is, firstly, to check on you, and secondly, to tell you about the situation here. In this village..."

Li Hu then gave a rough overview of the situation in Shuagua Zhuang Village.

After he finished speaking, Dai Yaxuan couldn't help but say, "If Deputy Mayor Ma were still here, then these problems would be for Mayor Ma to solve. As it turns out, he actually took leave and ran off. He is deliberately dumping this mess on us."

Li Hu said, "Anyway, things are already like this now. We should think about how to respond. Whether he is here or not, he's the same coward. If he were here, it might be even more troublesome."

"How about this, Director Sun, you keep a good watch on Du lao er. Logically speaking, he will be detained for seven days, so you keep him for the full seven days. As for Jiang da tou and Chen Erzi, I will go talk to them and tell them not to cause any more trouble."

"If they listen, everything will be fine. If they don't listen, we will arrest them as we should, including the ringleaders."

"If they want to smear Mayor Su's face, don't blame me for being heartless."

"The reason I said not to let Du lao er run away is that, theoretically speaking, your firing of the gun should be in violation of relevant regulations. If things go wrong, some people in the town might have already poked this matter to the County Public Security Bureau."

"There is a high probability that you will be disciplined for this matter. Besides that, if Du lao er runs away, it will give the Public Security Bureau and the Town Government a handle to target you."

"Consequently, it might also lead to large-scale propaganda about the business environment of our Huatian Town, thereby smearing Mayor Su."

"So, in the few days that Mayor Su is away, we must handle all the correct things well and not add to his troubles."

Sun Chengjun nodded with a solemn expression, "I understand. I was indeed a bit hot-headed today; my way of handling it was inappropriate."

"But their style was truly too infuriating. It was clearly deliberate targeting of me, and thereby targeting Mayor Su. I will never allow this matter to happen. Even if I am disciplined, I cannot let them succeed."

After Li Hu gave some instructions here, he drove to Shuagua Zhuang Village to find Jiang da tou and Chen Erzi. He wanted to give these two a talking-to about this matter.

It would be best to step forward in the name of the Town Government and make these two settle down. Moreover, Jiang da tou, this Village Party Secretary, was appointed by the town, and the town has absolute power of appointment and removal.

And now, Su Yang is in his prime in the town; wanting to remove a village secretary is basically a matter of one sentence.

If Jiang da tou is handled, there shouldn't be any problems on Chen Erzi's side; after all, the interests were originally on their side anyway.

Just as they were handling the problem here, Su Yang also officially entered the Liu family residence.

It was almost the same as Old Master Qiao's residence—both were courtyard houses, with the same Chinese-style furniture, and even the layout was the same.

He even suspected that all these old people had the same hobbies.

Just as he entered the courtyard, he saw Liu Zhengyang coming out to greet him personally.

Su Yang hurried forward and said, "Secretary Liu, why did you come out personally?"

Liu Zhengyang laughed and said, "You've come, of course I have to come out to greet you. At the very least, the way of treating guests must be maintained."

As he said this, he saw the two local specialties in Su Yang's hands and couldn't help but laugh, "You kid, you haven't learned anything else, but you've really learned this set of human relations."

"But you don't need to do this here. You came, so why bring gifts? If the old man sees this, he might start lecturing again."

Su Yang gave a sheepish smile and said, "Secretary Liu, look at what you're saying. It's my first time here; I couldn't come empty-handed. Besides, these are just local specialties from Ganzhou; they aren't anything valuable. I don't think Old Master Liu will really blame me, right?"

Just as he was speaking, a girl who looked very flamboyant jumped out from the side. Actually, it wasn't that she looked flamboyant, but that she was dressed flamboyantly.

The reason she was called flamboyant was because of her makeup—half like a human, half like a ghost—and her hair was actually green, in a 'shamate' style.

If this were to appear suddenly at night, it might just scare someone into fainting.

If they met someone with a big heart, they might backhand her and send her away.

"You must be Su Yang. I've finally waited for you to come. My second uncle has been waiting for you all afternoon today. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were some big shot from somewhere. Let me see what gifts you brought? Are they delicious? If they aren't delicious, take them back."

"Save me from having my grandfather lecture you later, and dragging my second uncle into it too."

At this time, Liu Zhengyang scolded, "Liu Zixuan, what are you doing? Why are you everywhere?"

He then introduced her to Su Yang, "Su Yang, this is my niece, Liu Zixuan. She has always been this crazy, but she has no bad intentions. Don't mind her."

Su Yang could tell that although Liu Zhengyang's words were a scolding, he was still quite doting on Liu Zixuan. Otherwise, with the upbringing of such a big family in Jingcheng, Liu Zixuan would absolutely not have jumped out to "scare people" at this time.

Su Yang said, "Oh, it's fine, it's fine."

Liu Zixuan then stuck out her tongue, walked over to shake hands with Su Yang, and said, "Welcome, welcome. You are our family's great benefactor. If you hadn't come this time, I would have wanted to go to Ganzhou Province to express my gratitude to you in person."

Su Yang said, "No need, no need, no need. This is all what I should have done."

Liu Zixuan rolled her eyes and said, "Good to know. Otherwise, you'd really think you've become our family's great benefactor? Tch..."

Su Yang was almost choked. Is this human language?

At the same time, he suddenly remembered Zhou Ruohan's words: this Liu Zixuan is a little demoness; there is nothing she wouldn't do, and she doesn't know her own strength when she acts. She told him to be careful.

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he heard Old Master Liu's voice ring out from inside the house, "Is that Little Su? Come in quickly, don't stand outside."

After Su Yang followed Liu Zhengyang inside, he saw Old Master Liu, dressed in a Tang suit, sitting in a chair reading a book.

Seeing Su Yang enter, he put away the book and said with a smile, "Little Su, you came to Jingcheng and didn't call home the first chance you got."

"If Zhengyang hadn't seen you, were you not planning to come? Not planning to catch up and chat with this old man?"

Su Yang said, "Old Master, what are you saying? On the way here, I was thinking of calling you, but I was afraid of disturbing you and afraid you wouldn't have time. That's why I didn't dare to be abrupt."

As his voice fell, he heard Liu Zixuan whisper behind him, "At first glance, he's not an honest guy. Full of lies, and 'abrupt'—I'm afraid he didn't want to come at all..." ===== CHAPTER 291 =====
