Chapter 124 This is a direct show of force
David had considered this before.
He also believed that Xu Aiguo definitely had the ability.
But Zhou Xiangzhang is just one example.
The key issue is the power behind him.
If we can't eradicate Zhou Xiangzhang's entire family, dealing with just one Zhou Xiangzhang won't be effective.
Zhou Xiangzhang is gone, but tomorrow a Li Xiangzhang might appear.
Moreover, simply finding some excuse to strip Zhou Xiangzhang of his power would be too lenient on this guy.
He might take early retirement due to illness or be transferred to another position, and that would be the end of it.
We absolutely cannot let this bastard step down so easily.
He must pay the price for what he has done!
Otherwise, where is justice?
I must bring him down and show the people of Yuanshan County what kind of person Zhou Xiangzhang really is.
Director Xu, I was prepared.
I'm fine now. They didn't succeed, so you don't need to worry too much.
Xu Aiguo slowly exhaled: "If you encounter any difficulties, call me anytime. If Zheng Zhiguo can't get things done, have Xiao Zhikai replace him."
"Not for now. I've already discussed this with Minister Xiao."
"Yes, it's good that you know... Miss went to Yuanshan County, did you know?"
The young lady he mentioned was Wang Xiaodan, the eldest daughter of the Wang family.
"I know, I just picked it up and took it home."
"Take good care of them, there can't be any mistakes."
"yes!"
"Last time, we talked about the highway. What are your thoughts? I haven't seen you take any action. I've already laid the groundwork with the Provincial Department of Transportation and other departments."
"Thank you, Director Xu. Once I've sorted out the personnel matters, I'll bring this up in the Standing Committee meeting."
Xu Aiguo nodded in satisfaction: "Miss and Governor Qin are best friends. Governor Qin just asked about Miss's whereabouts."
I'm reminding you again, don't think I'm being long-winded.
Her safety cannot be taken lightly.
Dawei was startled. Was Xiaodan and the governor best friends?
Big shots are big shots; ordinary people would love to flaunt these connections every day, but Sister Xiao Dan remained completely silent.
After hanging up the phone, Dawei contacted Zheng Zhiguo.
Thinking it was necessary to involve the police, since Yuanshan County was not peaceful and Wang Xiaodan was no ordinary person.
Something really went wrong.
That would be too unfair to Old Wang and Sister Xiao Dan.
Dawei instructed Zheng Zhiguo to send two people to secretly protect Wang Xiaodan's safety, and not to announce it to the outside world at this time.
Zheng Zhiguo immediately complied, and at the same time reported on the progress of the investigation into the three criminals, as well as the murder of the lame man from the auto repair shop who was responsible for providing the vehicle used in the crime.
"The opponent is ruthless and vicious."
"Zheng Zhiguo, I urge you to solve this case as soon as possible and bring the murderer to justice!"
David was furious.
To dare to kill someone in broad daylight, this is outrageous!
"yes!"
Zheng Zhiguo gritted his teeth and agreed.
At this moment, no one carries a heavier burden than Zheng Zhiguo.
Considering that Xiao Dan was a woman, Zheng Zhiguo arranged for Xiao Yanfang to lead four other women in three shifts to secretly protect Wang Xiao Dan.
On Wu Maocai's side, near the end of the workday, he had his subordinates complete the project plan for Yuanshan County Fruit Industry Company and submit it to Dawei for review.
After sending the email, Maocai received a text message from Qin Hongmei, which mentioned that a distinguished guest surnamed Wang had come to Dawei's house.
"I suspect it's because of County Magistrate Chen's connections in Kyoto. Maocai, do you think you should pay him a special visit tonight?"
Wu Maocai's fingers danced across his phone screen as he pondered, finally typing out a string of text.
"I won't go. If they haven't asked you for help, you shouldn't go on your own initiative either."
That's good enough for today. We'll leave after we finish making the buns.
Maintain a sense of propriety.
That's related to County Magistrate Chen, not to us.
People will appreciate you if you maintain a sense of propriety.
……
Zhou Xiangzhang, who was in the county committee building, had by this time grasped the basic situation of Dawei's attack.
The first person he thought of was his son, Zhou Dongliang.
Zhou Dongliang's three friends were arrested for drug use in Shengshi. Zhou Xiangzhang told Zhou Dongliang to go into hiding, but he refused, seemingly having some backup plan.
Now it seems that the backup plan was those three assassins from today.
Amidst the tension.
He called Zhou Dongliang.
"Where?"
Zhou Dongliang was driving to the city: "We'll be in Meicheng soon."
"Go abroad, Meicheng probably can't hide you anymore."
"Never mind that."
"Would I harm you?"
"I told you, it's none of your business!" Zhou Dongliang roared. "If you're so capable, go and meddle with other people!"
Kill Chen Dawei.
What kind of skill is it to only care about me?
I will take responsibility for my own actions.
Zhou Dongliang hung up the phone immediately.
Zhou Xiangzhang pressed her temples hard; her blood pressure spiked, and she felt dizzy. Then she contacted Chen Wei.
"Westbrook, Adong has gone to Meicheng. Please take good care of him."
"Don't worry, Uncle."
Chen Wei didn't say anything more and hung up the phone directly.
Thus, the cunning Zhou Xiangzhang realized that her son had been used as a pawn by Chen Wei, and that stupid son was completely unaware of it.
His fingers tapped on the table, he bit his lip, his mind racing, and with a determined look, he dialed Chen Wei's father, Chen Tiecai.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries.
Zhou Xiangzhang cut to the chase: "You've heard about Chen Dawei being attacked by three thugs this morning, haven't you?"
"Yes, the officers from the Municipal Bureau have already gone down to assist them with the investigation."
"Those two young men probably acted impulsively and made a big mess of things. The owner of a motorcycle repair shop in Wufeng County was just killed... to silence him."
"..."
Chen Tiecai's heart skipped a beat. He was about to drink water when he almost spilled it on himself. He put down the cup and calmed himself down.
This phone call had a deeper meaning.
How can you talk about something like this over the phone?
That person was definitely recording.
Even if Chen Tiecai found out that Zhou Xiangzhang had recorded the conversation, it wouldn't make much difference.
Zhou Xiangzhang is making his intentions clear, and Chen Tiecai has no choice but to accept.
Moreover, even if Chen Tiecai didn't say anything, Zhou Xiangzhang's goal was achieved.
This phone call was a warning to Chen Tiecai and his son that both families were involved in this matter, and that if anything happened to Zhou Dongliang, Chen Wei and Chen Tiecai would also be doomed.
If this phone call is used as evidence in court, even if Chen Tiecai didn't respond at all on the phone, it would still be considered as withholding information and covering up a crime.
Seeing that the other party did not respond, Zhou Xiangzhang was prepared, so she immediately continued, "It all happened so suddenly. I didn't know anything beforehand, otherwise I would definitely have stopped it."
Ah Dong has already gone to the city.
I'll have to trouble you and your son quite a bit.
Brother, the situation is tense.
I didn't have time to report to you in person, so I had to call you.
Ah Dong is in Meicheng, so I'm leaving him in your care.
He had to save his son, so he had no choice but to take a risky approach and reveal his hand directly.
