Those Years When I Was Forced to Top the Forbes List

Chapter 66 Using force to suppress others
"Driver, please drive as fast as you can."

Chen Xuebing suddenly said.

He was still sending text messages.

Upon hearing this, the driver in the car secretly increased the speed a bit.

At that moment, outside the car, a group of people were coming out of a goose meat restaurant on the street.

"Director Liu, due to limited resources, the hospitality has been inadequate, hehehe..."

A man wearing glasses adjusted his glasses, about to speak to the person behind him, when he suddenly saw a Jinbei van coming towards him at a fast speed.

He spotted the blue pass hanging on the front of the Jinbei van immediately.

This thing is particularly glaring to cadres of a certain level.

That splash of blue drew his attention to the car body.

As the car passed by him, he saw the Times logo painted on the side.

"Mayor Xu, what brings an interview vehicle from your town? Or is it from the city?"

These words startled everyone behind them.

Mayor Xu looked in the direction Director Liu was staring at, and his gaze lingered.

"Over there... are those Mashui Village and Furong Village?"

"Yes, yes, yes, we turned in at the intersection, that's the way!" The people behind us began to confirm.

"Are they going somewhere else?" one person guessed.

"It shouldn't be. Pengshui is at the junction of three provinces and one municipality. To go to other places, you should take the main road in the county. Why would you come here?"

There was silence.

Right now, we're at the crossroads of the Gregorian and Lunar New Years.

Director Liu immediately shook his head: "No, I need to report to the county first. Mayor Xu, you should arrange for someone to find out where the car went. Don't let anything go wrong... If it really went to the town, we must find out the reason for it. It's probably not a good thing."

If it were a good thing, they would have contacted the county or town directly. Since no one received any notification, it must have been done secretly. What else could it be but a bad thing?
Mayor Xu's heart tightened; this county's purse keeper had a very keen sense of smell.

"Okay, I'll call the two villages right away!"

……

The mountain path in Furong Village was as bright as day at seven o'clock.

As the Jinbei van passed by Wu Jiuhong's house, a row of trucks could be seen parked in front, and two pickup trucks behind, all with their lights on.

"parking!"

Seeing this, Chen Xuebing quickly got out of the car, fearing that they had started fighting again.

Before setting off in the afternoon, Tan Maoshui called to say that Chen Xiaobo refused to be hospitalized for observation and was going to call some people to cause trouble for Jiang Ping. Chen Xuebing could only ask Tan Maoshui to stall for time until he returned.

She even spoke directly with Chen Xiaobo, telling him he had to wait for her arrival, reassuring him, and promising to give him an explanation.

After reaching the mountain road in the county, there was almost no cell phone signal. It wasn't until they entered the town that Chen Xuebing received a text message from Tan Maoshui.

Jiang Ping's men came to the hospital to warn Chen Xiaobo not to talk nonsense to the police, and also asked him to agree to a settlement to release the two people who were detained for assault. After cursing for a long time, they left. Chen Xiaobo was furious and went straight out of the hospital to the sand and gravel plant to call for help.

He didn't know when the text message arrived, and Chen Xuebing's reply went unanswered, so he hurriedly told the car to drive faster.

Chen Xuebing hurriedly got out of the car and ran forward. Huang, the section chief in the car, sensed that there might be news and quickly told the cameraman to get out of the car as well.

The truck was blocking the way in the middle of the road, so they had to run to the corner of the road to see the whole situation.

Around the corner, there were three cars blocking the middle of the road, their engines off.

so many people.

A dozen or so villagers stood on the earthen slope by the roadside watching the commotion, with people confronting each other in front of the cars on both sides.

Standing in front, Chen Xiaobo pointed at Jiang Ping in front of the car opposite and yelled, "You think we freight guild members are easy to bully?!"

The sound was loud, but the person next to him was pulling him back, preventing him from rushing forward, while the other two stood on either side of Jiang Ping, ready to attack at any moment.

The truck side is clearly at a disadvantage.

At that moment, Wu Jiuhong, who was on the earthen slope, saw Chen Xuebing appear around the corner and shouted, "Boss! The construction site boss is here!"

Chen Xuebing strode forward and grabbed Chen Xiaobo, who was challenging Jiang Ping, pulling him back several steps with such force.

All eyes immediately turned to Chen Xuebing.

"Oh, the coward has finally arrived," Jiang Ping chuckled.

Chen Xuebing ignored him and asked Chen Xiaobo, whose face was still bruised and swollen:
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to wait for me?"

"Let it go! This is a personal matter!"

Chen Xiaobo struggled a few times but couldn't break free.

A voice came from behind: "Oh, the boss's here. You're probably going to have to take some responsibility for my brother's injury, aren't you?"

Chen Xuebing turned around and looked at the person who had spoken.

He had a buzz cut, wore a jacket, and was in his forties or fifties. Most of the people around him were standing next to him.

They must have come to support Chen Xiaobo.

"Are you the owner of the sand and gravel plant?"

Although the other party was the enemy of the enemy, Chen Xuebing's tone was not polite.

The man with the buzz cut crossed his arms and laughed, "Good to know, boss. You'll have to take responsibility for the mess at your construction site that my brother made."

Chen Xuebing, however, had a serious expression and waved his hand at him: "Go away! This is my construction site! Outsiders are not welcome to cause trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaobo, the truck drivers who came to help, and the people from the sand plant stared at Chen Xuebing in disbelief.

"Causing trouble?" The man with the buzz cut lowered his hand, his smile fading. "Get this straight, we're here to help you! Can you handle this? If it weren't for you asking us to haul sand..."

As the man with the buzz cut was speaking, Chen Xuebing's eyes sharpened.

"I need you to handle this for me?! I told you, this is my construction site, and outsiders are not allowed to cause trouble here! Get out!"

The angry shouts echoed through the valley.

Everything around fell silent.

Jiang Ping smiled broadly. He had originally planned to grab Chen Xuebing and start fighting, but now he crossed his arms and watched the show with great interest.

He was provoked by Chen Xuebing yesterday, but now he feels much better.

It's a tiger.

They even cursed those who tried to help.

That's courting death.

"Boss Chen, what do you mean?" Chen Xiaobo glared at Chen Xuebing.

"Didn't I tell you to wait for me to handle it? Make them leave now. Those who cause trouble here today will pay the price."

After Chen Xuebing finished speaking, he walked to the back of the crowd, led Section Chief Huang over, and pointed to the path below and Jiang Ping's group, saying:
“Section Chief Huang, this is the road. These people came to the construction site to obstruct the work and threatened me to give up the project. I heard they are Deputy Mayor Luo’s nephew. Yesterday, these people also beat up my drivers at the construction site. Two of them are still being held at the police station.”

Seeing this commotion in the deep mountains and forests, and with darkness approaching, Section Chief Huang felt a little uneasy.

The main concern is the fear of suffering immediate losses.

But he knew he couldn't show weakness at this moment.

He glanced back at the camera and found the person was gone. Having worked with them for many years, he knew the person had probably hidden behind the car and was secretly recording.

Section Chief Huang nodded slowly: "Hmm... Don't worry, we will uphold justice for you."

Chen Xuebing openly pointed out Mayor Luo, adopting a pleading tone. This official then uttered the words "uphold justice," causing both groups to panic.

Jiang Ping immediately straightened up and looked at Section Chief Huang. He realized that the man was an unfamiliar face and definitely not a leader from the town.

From the county?
He was familiar with the rules and regulations of government agencies. A county was only a division-level unit, while those bureaus were only at the section level or deputy division level. A section chief was probably just a staff member. What use was that?

The city? Even less useful. A section chief is nothing in the city, let alone coming here to give orders. He has no authority whatsoever.

Jiang Ping's expression turned arrogant again: "Oh? I thought you were something special, but it turns out you just found a powerful backer? Let me tell you, it's useless! Even if the police come, they can't touch me!"

"Collecting debts?" Section Chief Huang's eyebrows twitched.

Chen Xuebing raised his hand and whispered a brief explanation to him.

"Oh..." Section Chief Huang nodded again and said, "Even if there is a dispute with the project department, you can't block the road here. The police can handle this kind of thing. General Manager Chen, I suggest you call the police."

I suggest you call the police.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ping's expression became even more arrogant.

If he were truly a leader, wouldn't he be instructing his secretary to summon Director XX? He'd seen the airs of a leader before; this wasn't one at all!
But he wasn't sure where the other party came from. He knew that you couldn't hit a civil servant; it would cause big trouble.

So he smiled at the man with the buzz cut:

"Liu Laowu, did you hear that? They've brought their own backer; they don't need your help!"

The man with the buzz cut stared at Chen Xuebing with a mixture of anger and uncertainty, saying, "Boss Chen, don't think you're something special just because you run a construction site. In our area, you're an outsider, you can't make it!"

"Get out of here! Stop meddling!"

Chen Xuebing waved his hand impatiently.

The atmosphere became tense again.

Even the crew-cut guy laughed in anger: "Fine, let's see how you handle this! Let's go!"

Chen Xuebing then said to Section Chief Huang, "Section Chief Huang, there are many large trucks here, and it's difficult for them to pass each other. Your trucks should give way to them. Go back to town and rest first."

As it grew dark, Section Chief Huang nodded, then hesitated and asked, "General Manager Chen, you...aren't you coming with us?"

Chen Xuebing raised his hand to check the time, then took off his watch and put it in his inner pocket.

"I'll take care of things here, and I'll bring you here to interview about the road tomorrow morning."

When Section Chief Huang saw him take off his watch, he immediately realized that he might be about to fight. He didn't want to get involved and just wanted to leave this place of trouble. He could only say "Be careful" and then retreated.

"Chen Xiaobo! Are you coming or not!" The crew-cut man shouted when he saw Chen Xiaobo frozen in place.

Chen Xiaobo gritted his teeth and glared hatefully at Jiang Ping and his gang.

The man with the buzz cut cursed, then turned and left with his men.

Jiang Ping also stared at Chen Xuebing, and seeing that he had no intention of leaving, he smiled slightly and felt relieved.

After everyone leaves, if this guy surnamed Chen doesn't agree to hand over the construction site today, he won't be leaving this ravine.

Chen Xuebing simply held his phone to his ear and waited quietly.

You can't make calls from here using a PHS phone, but you can still make calls from a mobile phone.

Two beeps, and the call was connected.

"Come in, there are a few cars that need to leave. Find an intersection and make way for them."

After saying that, Chen Xuebing waited for a reply from the other end before hanging up the phone.

At this moment, the sound of a car starting could be heard from around the corner, and the truck was moving out. Tan Maoshui suddenly appeared from somewhere and grabbed Chen Xuebing.

Why aren't you leaving with them? Come on!

As soon as Chen Xuebing saw Lao Tan there, he immediately pointed to the villagers standing on the earthen slope watching the commotion: "What are these people looking at here for? Quickly tell them to leave!"

"Are you crazy!" Tan Maoshui's face also seemed to be swollen, and he was so angry that his teeth itched. He said in a low voice, "I specially invited you here, don't you understand? No one is around, and if I beat you to death, no one will be a witness! Go, hurry up and go, don't suffer in front of you!"

"Just listen to me, hurry up and clear the area."

……

The car sped along, and within minutes we reached a wider section of road.

The driver of the Jinbei van suddenly saw lights ahead and asked in surprise:
"It's so late, who's still coming down this road?"

Section Chief Huang, who was in the car, also craned his neck to take a look.

His gaze sharpened, his expression immediately froze, and he patted the Jinbei driver, saying, "Hurry up, hurry up, things are going to get serious tonight."

After saying that, he turned to the cameraman who was habitually raising his camera and said, "Don't film! I bet it was General Manager Chen who called this!"

The cameraman put down his equipment, watching the oncoming convoy get closer and closer, and couldn't help but exclaim under his breath, "Holy crap..."

Seeing that the road was wide, Liu Laowu in the pickup truck behind was about to tell the driver to overtake the Jinbei van in front when he also saw the convoy coming from the opposite direction.

He was also puzzled and peeked out to take a look.

His eyes widened in surprise.

"Fuck..."

"Don't go! Turn around up ahead and go back!"

……

The road above the project site has returned to quiet.

Only a sliver of dim light remained to illuminate the faces of the people here.

The villagers dispersed without anyone having to tell them to.

Just now, there were two groups of people, and they dared to watch the show. Now there's only one group left, and only one person from the other side is still here. What if this group goes crazy and hurts them?
As soon as the car left, they hurried away, leaving behind a pile of sunflower seed shells on the earthen slope.

Jiang Ping looked around and, seeing that no one was there, gradually revealed a sinister smile.

"You're really quite bold."

The words just fell.

Whoosh.

"when!"

Chen Xuebing, who was squatting on the ground, picked up a small stone and threw it. The stone passed precisely past Jiang Ping's ear and hit the car window behind Jiang Ping.

The people on the other side were all stunned.

"Holy shit..."

"I'll give you 20 more minutes. Call everyone you can." Chen Xuebing's voice came calmly.

Jiang Ping narrowed his eyes: "You're sure you don't want to talk, huh? You really think I wouldn't dare kill you? If I do, plenty of people will go to jail for me!"

Chen Xuebing stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and repeated himself.

"20 minutes, call everyone you can."

For some reason, Jiang Ping felt that this young man was different from the adversaries he had encountered before.

Intimidation doesn't work; even if you scare the person who hit him, it still won't work.

"I'm sure you're asking for it."

Jiang Ping also put his hands in his pockets and led a group of people toward Chen Xuebing.

Suddenly, it got light.

The sound of wheels drew closer, and the lights grew brighter.

A minibus appeared at the corner and stopped abruptly behind Chen Xuebing, casting a very large shadow of him.

"We've arrived! Get off!"

"Hiss..."

This is just a minibus at the front.

Behind the road, a cacophony of voices could be heard.

"Brother! We're here!"

The surroundings became increasingly lively, and a crowd gradually gathered behind Chen Xuebing.

Chen Xuebing didn't look back, only knowing that there would be a lot of people. He had made many phone calls last night, and all his brothers and Huo Xiaowen's brothers had come.

When he fought with Huo Xiaowen, both sides had so many people that they were afraid of escalating the situation, so they chose to fight one-on-one.

Chen Xuebing hadn't used this much force in a long time; today he was going to crush these local thugs so much that they'd be traumatized forever.

This valley had probably never seen so many people before; within two minutes, it became extremely noisy.

Jiang Ping was seven or eight steps away from Chen Xuebing, watching this scene unfold.

At that moment, he thought of the movie "Young and Dangerous".

To be more specific, it's the one with the most people.

"Covering the Sky with One Hand"

This time, Chen Xuebing walked forward with a smile, his hands in his pockets, while Jiang Ping began to back away.

After taking a few steps back, more and more people appeared around the corner.

"You have 15 minutes. Call people, call everyone you know."

Chen Xuebing's voice struck Jiang Ping's heart like a thunderbolt.
