Chapter 729

Liu Zixuan then recounted the dangerous scene that had just occurred in the nightclub to Old Master Liu.

Old Master Liu said, word by word: "How can there be such a lawless place under heaven? An enterprise boss who rose by exploiting policy and the population dividend not only resisted the local government but also became a local tyrant. Monopolizing business and endangering lives, doing all kinds of evil, such a person not being punished by law—how can he face the common people?"

After saying that, he added: "Give the phone to Su Yang."

As soon as Su Yang picked up the phone, he said: "Old Master Liu, I'm really sorry—this is all my fault. I had Liu Zixuan come to Lieshan County, and I had him bring several truckloads of daily necessities and general merchandise to deal with Geng Miao's monopoly as an emergency measure."

"I originally wanted to do a good thing for the common people, solve the immediate difficulty, and also hoped to completely drive this tumor out of the market. I never expected them to be so ruthless; Liu Zixuan was just about to start the agricultural market, and they wanted to strike him down outright. No matter what, this is my fault—please punish me; I will bear any penalty without complaint."

No matter what, attitude comes first, but he also knew that if Old Master Liu flew into a rage, even his small position as county magistrate would not withstand a thunderbolt—he would be crushed to ashes.

Fortunately, Old Master Liu was reasonable; he said: "This isn't your fault at all. In such an environment, your stepping forward to solve these problems for the common people is already commendable. You also underestimated their wolfish ambitions and the viciousness of people's hearts. You don't need to worry about this—I'll have people handle it; you just do your job well."

After hanging up, Old Master Liu ended the call, and Su Yang let out a long sigh of relief; if Old Master Liu had really wanted to confront him, he could only stand firm. No matter what, he could not escape responsibility. The sole piece of good fortune in this misfortune was that Liu Zixuan was unharmed.

Just a few minutes later, as Su Yang arrived at the Public Security Bureau, Liu Zhengyang's call came in.

"Su Yang, what's going on? What just happened? Zixuan's grandfather is furious—he's planning to use major force this time. I'm afraid that if we really do that, it might affect some innocent people, so I want to understand the situation more thoroughly."

"After all, we've poured years of effort into this; reaching this point wasn't easy. If we were really affected, it would just be gossip behind our backs, and it wouldn't be good for us either. I hope you understand—when people get older, they often dote on their grandchildren, and Old Master Liu is no exception."

"For so many years, I've never seen him this angry—not even when I had my previous accident did he react like this. He just called me saying he wants to go personally to Ganzhou Province, and I'm rushing home now to try to hold him back."

Liu Zhengyang still doesn't understand what exactly happened; he only knows that Old Master Liu flew into a rage.

Su Yang then recounted what had just happened.

Liu Zhengyang, who never swore and always kept his composure, rarely shouted: "Bastards, these people deserve to be dragged out and shot. Is this still a place under our government's jurisdiction? How can such a phenomenon exist?"

After hanging up, Su Yang's head buzzed; since Liu Zixuan's accident, he had realized the situation was already beyond his control and would spiral out of control, but he hadn't expected it to reach this extent.

In his impression, Liu Zhengyang was always gentle and refined, never flying into a rage or letting anger flare up. He clearly remembered that during their previous car accident, Liu Zhengyang had remained composed, never shouting, and never showing such strength. It seems this time Geng Le and his group are basically asking for death.

At the moment he reached the Public Security Bureau's gate, Su Yang wanted to accompany Liu Zixuan inside; after all, Sun Chengjun's arrival at the bureau was also isolated and helpless, and at a critical moment he still needed to step forward. But just then the phone rang again—this time the call was from Fang Runan.

"Su Yang, what's going on? How could such a shocking thing happen in your Lieshan County? Do you have any involvement with those people? If so, this time even I can't protect you."

"Moreover, the entire team of your Lieshan County is utterly corrupt; if this isn't handled well, they'll all be swept away. I really can't believe such a thing would happen in Lieshan County—I've heard of snakes and rats sharing a den, but never of such audacity."

Su Yang quickly explained: "Leader, I am indeed responsible for this, and I also seriously underestimated their viciousness. I am responsible for this matter, and I know our County Party Committee and County Government team has serious problems. As soon as I arrived in Lieshan County, I began tackling the issue of the Twin Ditch Large Koji Winery, but I still couldn't eradicate this tumor in a short time, which led to tonight's incident. I want to review this with you."

Fang Runan said: "There's no need to review anything with me; as long as you conduct yourself properly, you won't be implicated. You just need to do your current work well. Also, for the next two days, you must not let Liu Zixuan encounter any problems—otherwise, even if you're innocent, you'll still be dragged in."

After hanging up that call, his back was soaked in cold sweat, and he also realized a principle: even though he had a very good relationship with the Liu family, if Old Master Liu became angry over this matter, many people would try to make capital out of it.

After hanging up this call, his back was already drenched in cold sweat, and he also realized a principle: even though he and the Liu Family have a very good relationship, if Old Master Liu gets angry over this matter, many people will make a fuss about it.

At that point, if he is even slightly careless, he will be dragged into it. Among these people, some definitely want to vent their anger for Liu Zixuan, while others definitely want to fish in troubled waters to strike back and take revenge.

Before he could catch his breath, Zhou Cheng's call came; Zhou Cheng was equally furious, his tone even more intense than Liu Zhengyang and Fang Runan's. He had been personally nurtured from start to finish by Old Master Liu; to him, Liu Zixuan was no different from his own biological daughter, someone he had watched grow up. With this incident, how could he not be angry?

However, he still wanted to make his attitude clear, just as before; if it really came to being punished, he would also accept it.

After that call, he really didn't have time to filter this information; the phone rang again, and this time the caller was his father-in-law, Zhou Weiguo.

Su Yang looked, his heart gave a jolt; just now those few people, aside from Old Master Liu himself, were all their own people. But it spread so quickly to Old Zhou comrade's ears, showing that this news has already exploded in Jingcheng. As for what will happen next, he simply cannot imagine.
