Chapter 714

Red Star Rolling Mill

Looking at Wu Wu Chuanzong's confession and the detailed list of confiscated property, Factory Director Li beamed with joy: "Good! Cao Weiguo! You have performed a great service this time by digging out a major malignant tumor. Come, let's go to my house for dinner today. We can chat while we eat and discuss the issue of this great traitor, Wu Wu Chuanzong, in detail."

Cao Cao Weiguo knew exactly what Factory Director Li's invitation meant.

The amount of ill-gotten wealth hidden by Wu Wu Chuanzong was enormous; how could Factory Director Li not be tempted?

The two walked side by side out of the office building and pushed their bicycles out of the parking shed together.

Witnessing Cao Cao Weiguo and Factory Director Li riding away while chatting and laughing, Xu Xu Damao was as jealous as if he had drunk a bottle of aged vinegar.

Although he had already become the deputy section chief of the Propaganda Section, what kind of perks could the Propaganda Section possibly have?

Right now, the committee held the most power; to achieve anything, one had to enter the committee.

However, Factory Director Li had not approved his application, and Cao Cao Weiguo was also evasive and perfunctory, leaving him unable to find a way in. He could only watch helplessly as others carried out their grand careers... while he sat on the bench in the Propaganda Section.

"Cao Cao Weiguo, you're not being loyal! I've always treated you like a brother, yet this is how you treat me? You won't even help with a small favor? You won't help me? Then don't blame me for not looking out for you in the future!"

Filled with unwillingness and resentment, Xu Xu Damao turned and walked into the office building, clutching his briefcase as he hurried toward Deputy Factory Director Xue's office.

If this place won't keep me, there are other places that will!

If you are gold, you will eventually shine!

Without you people, I, Xu Xu Damao, can still make progress!

Cao Cao Weiguo and Factory Director Li rode their bikes into an alley when several dark figures suddenly rushed out from both ends, walking toward them aggressively.

Factory Director Li looked panicked: "Cao Weiguo, these... these people aren't coming for us, are they?"

Cao Cao Weiguo parked his bicycle and reached his right hand into his briefcase: "I don't think these people have good intentions. Leader, stay against the wall; no matter what happens, I will ensure your safety."

The leader of the group pulled a short blade from his waistband and walked over with a fierce look in his eyes: "Director Li, Director Cao, nice to meet you."

Cao Cao Weiguo kept his hand inside his briefcase, staring coldly at the middle-aged man who spoke: "Speak plainly, what do you want? But I advise you, this is a new society now; you had better think twice before you act, and don't make a wrong move."

The middle-aged man sneered grimly: "Deputy Director Cao, put away your hypocritical face. We only want one thing from you: either you agree to release my big brother, Wu Wu Chuanzong, or we brothers will slit your throats right here."

As he finished speaking, the others pulled short blades or daggers from their clothes and waistbands, scaring Factory Director Li so much that his legs trembled. He said with a fierce tone but a cowardly heart: "You! What do you want to do! Do you know what kind of behavior this is! Attacking state public officials! You! You are committing a crime!"

The middle-aged man pointed his knife at Factory Director Li with a fierce expression: "Li, I advise you not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Give me a straight answer: are you releasing him or not!"

Factory Director Li looked at Cao Cao Weiguo, trembling: "Cao Weiguo! This! What should we do?"

Cao Cao Weiguo said solemnly: "Leader, the great leader once said: All reactionary forces on the verge of extinction will always make a final struggle against the revolutionary forces! And I am a servant of the people, a revolutionary fighter; I am willing to sacrifice everything for the revolution. If they want to fight, then let us thoroughly annihilate them!"

Factory Director Li was stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief. He thought to himself, Cao Cao Weiguo doesn't look like a fool, does he? Can't you see the situation in front of you? The enemy is strong and we are weak! If you want to die, go die yourself, but don't drag me into it. I don't want to die young; the money I worked so hard to scrape together hasn't been spent yet, and I haven't even enjoyed it!

The middle-aged man who was speaking flew into a rage and charged at Cao Cao Weiguo with a vicious look: "You ungrateful thing, today I'll dig out your heart and see if it's red or black!"

Cao Cao Weiguo pulled a dagger from his briefcase and took a step forward to meet the middle-aged man.

Li Li Huaide looked at Cao Cao Weiguo's back, truly wondering if this guy had firm beliefs or was just incredibly stupid. Can you handle so many vicious thugs by yourself?

At a time like this, admitting defeat to save your life is what matters!

What are you messing around for?

Have you read too many quotes from the great man?

"Seeking death!"

Seeing that Cao Cao Weiguo actually dared to charge forward, the middle-aged man's eyes grew even more vicious. He swung his short blade toward Cao Cao Weiguo's right arm; if that hit, Cao Cao Weiguo's right arm would definitely be ruined.

Seeing the middle-aged man going for the kill, anger rose in Cao Cao Weiguo's heart. He leaned to the right, the short blade grazing his collar, and simultaneously swung his dagger.

A flash of light passed, and the middle-aged man screamed in pain; his right hand, which had been holding the short blade, had already fallen to the ground.

"Brother Liuzi!"

Seeing the middle-aged man suffer a loss and lose his hand, the others shouted in shock and anger, then swarmed forward, pouncing on Cao Cao Weiguo like wolves and tigers.

"Bang!"

Cao Cao Weiguo kicked the middle-aged man with the severed hand to the ground, then moved like a leopard toward a bald man. With a quick slash of his knife, the bald man clutched his severed arm and screamed.

"Clang!" "Bang!" "Thud!" "Ah!" "My arm!" "I'll kill you!" "Fourth Brother!" "Ah..."

Suddenly, blades flashed in the alley, blood splattered everywhere, and screams echoed continuously, leaving Li Li Huaide stunned and terrified, leaning against the wall, unable to move.

"Bang!"

A sturdy man took a hit from Cao Cao Weiguo's Iron Mountain Lean, flying backward into the wall before collapsing like a noodle, blood bubbling from his mouth.

The Baji Fist strikes like a thunderclap, the Liuhe Blade's momentum is awe-inspiring!

Witnessing Cao Cao Weiguo destroy several men with ease, the remaining two men were terrified and dared not move forward. However, these people were all thugs who had followed Wu Wu Chuanzong in bullying the market; they were fierce and vicious. Seeing they couldn't beat Cao Cao Weiguo, they turned and charged toward Li Li Huaide, intending to take him hostage to manipulate Cao Cao Weiguo.

"Ah ah ah!"

"Cao Weiguo, save me!"

Seeing the two thugs pouncing on him, Li Li Huaide was so scared he wet his pants, leaning against the wall and screaming at the top of his lungs. This filled Cao Cao Weiguo with disdain, and he dashed over in a flash.

"Stab!"

"Ah! My kidney!"

"Ah!"

The white blade went in and the red blade came out; one man clutched his kidney and fell, while the other was kicked away by Cao Cao Weiguo's whip kick, hitting the wall and fainting.

"Huff, huff, huff! Cao Weiguo! Wuwuwu! You scared me to death!"

As the last thug fell, Li Li Huaide threw himself into Cao Cao Weiguo's arms, tears streaming down his face.

"Leader, it's okay! It's okay! These guys look fierce, but they are all paper tigers. I've already dealt with them; there is no more threat."

Cao Cao Weiguo pushed Li Li Huaide away with a look of disgust: "Leader, I'll watch them here. You hurry back to the factory and call for people. We must not let these lawless thugs off lightly."

Li Li Huaide was furious: "Right! We can't let them go! We must investigate strictly! We must send them all to the execution ground to eat peanuts!"
