~7 min read 1,290 words

This made Shan Guozhi stunned for a moment, but two seconds later, the phone rang sharply again. The ringing stimulated Shan Guozhi's eardrums, making his ears itch and ache.

Shan Guozhi was completely awake, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. He reached out and picked up the receiver, saying, "I am Shan Guozhi!"

A few seconds later, he sat up from the bed: "What did you say? Is what you said true?"

There was a voice on the receiver that kept talking. Shan Guozhi's face became more and more ugly. After a long while, he said with a gloomy face, "I know."

The coldness on his face seemed to have permeated his voice, making the room, which was already very warm in April, suddenly as cold as winter.

Shan Guozhi put the receiver back on the phone. His wife also put on her clothes and sat up, turned on the desk lamp on her bedside table, and said to him, "What happened? Put on your clothes. Do you think you are a young man in his twenties or thirties?"

Shan Guozhi didn't answer her. He suddenly gasped for air, gasping earth-shakingly, as if he might not be able to catch his breath at any moment and die. His hands were also placed on his neck. Under the light of the desk lamp, his face was ferocious.

This scared his wife. She hurriedly patted Shan Guozhi on the back, shouting, "Old man, what's wrong with you?"

After patting for a while, Shan Guozhi's breathing improved a bit. His wife put on her clothes, got out of bed, poured him a glass of warm water, and fed it to him. He then calmed down. However, his eyes were still staring straight ahead, as if the white wall in front was a peerless painting.

His wife asked several times, "What happened? Speak!"

After a long time, Shan Guozhi said in a deep voice, "Xiaolong is in trouble!"

"What happened to Xiaolong? Speak! Do you want to worry me to death?"

"I told them not to open that Dafuhao Entertainment City, but they wouldn't listen. Now it's good, they've been caught. Let him go to jail!" Shan Guozhi suddenly exploded.

"What's the big deal about opening an entertainment city? Can't you just make a call and have the Public Security Bureau release him?"

"What's the big deal? His entertainment city has a casino, young ladies, and they use white powder. You tell me if there's any big deal? Today, it was the armed police who caught them. Who do you want me to call?"

His wife opened her mouth wide, was stunned for a long time, and then began to cry and howl: "This dead child, how dare he do such bad things? Is this kind of thing something that can be done?"

Suddenly, she rushed toward Shan Guozhi and tore at him: "It's all you, you dog thing, you old man. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. If it weren't for you provoking those vixen spirits every day, Xiaolong wouldn't have become like this. This is all learned from you. Retribution, retribution!"

Shan Guozhi resisted his wife's attack in a sorry state, defending himself, "When did I provoke any vixen spirits?"

"Do you think I don't know? Isn't Shi Meili your situation? And Shu Rong! And those waitresses in the hotels! Which one isn't your situation? You old thing, you are completely a stud donkey. I'll castrate you!" Her hands changed the focus of the attack and attacked the lower three paths.

Shan Guozhi was a man after all. He grabbed his wife's hands, pushed her far away, and shouted sternly, "What are you making a scene for at this time? Don't you want to save your son?"

His wife sat on the ground and asked blankly, "Can you save Xiaolong?"

Shan Guozhi said angrily, "I have to try, don't I? If you make a scene like this again, Xiaolong will be completely hopeless."

She climbed up from the ground: "Then hurry up and try!"

Shan Guozhi then sat in front of the bedside table and started making calls. His wife brought his clothes and put them on him.

At the same time that Shan Guozhi was making calls, countless people were making calls. Everyone caught in the raid on Dafuhao that night was a leading figure in Shangjun County. Some were leaders of various bureaus and townships, some were children and relatives of county leaders, some were newly rich bosses, and there were even wealthy guests who came from other places to spend money like water.

These people were caught, and Shangjun County was like an earthquake. An invisible network of relationships immediately spread out.

At the Public Security Bureau at this time, County Party Secretary Comrade Ji Tao and Deputy County Head Zhang Kaishan were both there. They were sitting leisurely in Xu Shixie's office drinking tea. Although it was already early morning, they had no sleepiness at all. On the contrary, excitement flashed in their eyes.

Xu Shixie had already returned. After returning, he reported to Comrade Ji Tao and Zhang Kaishan that the operation was successfully completed.

With the assistance of the armed police, Wu Jun and other police officers brought everyone back to the Public Security Bureau, and interrogations were currently being carried out in full swing.

There were dozens of people caught back, enough for them to interrogate for a while. Moreover, many people were still not clear-headed when they were caught, and they had to wait for them to wake up before interrogating them.

Comrade Ji Tao asked, "Old Xu, who was caught back?"

Xu Shixie smiled and said, "Secretary Ji, everyone who should be caught has been caught back. Shan Xiaolong, Tao Yanbin, Qian Dapeng, Xu Hua, Qi Hai, the son-in-law of Qi Hesheng, and some leaders of bureaus, some private bosses, and then some rascals. By the way, Qian Hongye is also there."

Comrade Ji Tao laughed: "They were caught back together, father and son? This is a father-son soldier!"

Zhang Kaishan smiled and said, "Old Xu, I think in a while, your phone here will ring."

Xu Shixie smiled and shook his head: "The phone won't ring."

Zhang Kaishan was stunned: "Why?"

Xu Shixie smiled and said, "I pulled out the phone plug a long time ago."

Comrade Ji Tao and Zhang Kaishan were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter together.

Comrade Ji Tao said, "Old Xu, this trick of yours is not bad. No wonder there have been no calls coming in. I guess some people must be as anxious as ants on a hot pot now."

Zhang Kaishan said, "Yes, I guess this phone is about to be blown up now."

Comrade Ji Tao said, "Then let's enjoy the peace and quiet for a while."

Su Xinghui only learned about the news of the Dafuhao Entertainment City raid the next morning. He received a call from Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng said happily on the phone, "Those dog-day guys have finally received retribution this time."

Zhang Cheng described various details in great detail. He had good eloquence and spoke vividly and realistically, which made Su Xinghui understand what happened yesterday very clearly.

Putting down the phone, Su Xinghui shook his head and smiled. Were Shan Xiaolong and Tao Yanbin too stupid? Daring to mess around in Dafuhao Entertainment City at such a time, wasn't this asking for trouble?

This matter could also be called a major event in Shangjun County. Nearly half of the prominent figures in the entire Shangjun County were caught in the Public Security Bureau. A major earthquake was destined to occur in the Shangjun political arena.
