Flip the table and divide the family property! Take his wife and daughter into the mountains and eat

"That's enough!"

Deputy Director Liu's temples throbbed from their noise, and he completely lost his patience. He waved his hand fiercely at the security officers:

"What are you all standing there for? Get them inside right now! Keep them separate, don't let those two lunatics meet again!"

"Walk!"

The security officers, too tired to listen to the old couple bickering, grabbed Wei Baoguo from both sides, while two others pulled Li Cuihua, who was still struggling in the mud, to her feet.

"Let me go! I can walk by myself!"

"Li Cuihua! You bitch, I'm not finished with you!"

"Pah! You dare insult me? I'll fight you to the death today—"

The two were forcibly dragged into the courtyard, and even when they were more than ten steps apart, they were still turning their heads and cursing at each other, spitting everywhere.

But as those disheveled figures were dragged further and further away, the shouts and curses gradually subsided.

The world is finally quiet.

Jin Wanfu stood beside the jeep, slowly brushing off the few specks of mud that had gotten onto his Zhongshan suit, his face once again displaying the amiable and prosperous demeanor of a businessman.

He casually handed the crumpled report to Deputy Director Liu beside him, and said with a smile:

"Director Liu, I'm so sorry to have troubled you today."

Deputy Director Liu quickly took the materials with both hands, and stepped forward with a beaming smile:

"Boss Jin, you're too kind! These two fools dared to throw dirty water at you in front of the county government compound; they've got some nerve! What do you think we should do next? Should I put in a word with the county public security bureau and get this case of 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble' settled, and send them to jail to work on sewing machines for a few years?"

"Oh, Director Liu, this won't do."

Jin Wanfu waved his chubby hand, striking a pose of law-abiding citizen:

"I'm just an honest businessman. What right do I have to convict someone or imprison them? Besides, it's not worth wasting the country's food on these two scoundrels."

He withdrew his hand, glancing indifferently at the muddy puddles left by the two hooligans rolling around on the ground. Changing his tone, he continued casually, "However, while it's none of my business, your government has its rules. This Wei Baoguo is a retired employee, receiving a government pension, yet he comes to the county government compound and throws a tantrum with a rural shrew. If this gets out, it'll have a terrible impact."

Having worked within the system for so many years, Deputy Director Liu was certainly aware of the underlying meaning.

Jin Wanfu was trying to use the county party committee office to completely destroy Wei Baoguo's most cherished job and pension, thus cutting off the old man's livelihood.

However, even knowing that Jin Wanfu was using someone else to do the dirty work, Deputy Director Liu didn't care at all. Because he had already planned to do it anyway.

Today, those two reckless fools ran to the entrance of the county committee compound, crying and making a scene, rolling around on the ground. They not only disgusted him, but also made him lose face in front of so many security officers, almost causing him to lose face.

Having almost lost face, how could he possibly swallow this insult?

So he not only didn't mind making this knife, but was happy to go along with it and do Wei Baoguo a favor, turning him into a hopeless dead dog, and also venting his own anger.

Thinking this, Deputy Director Liu carefully folded the wad of documents and put it in his pocket, nodding decisively: "Boss Jin is absolutely right. How can such a morally corrupt, shameless scoundrel deserve a government pension?" "I'll use the county committee office's name to forward this document directly to the leadership of their county grain depot as a prime example of 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble, seriously damaging the image of public officials'! They should be dismissed, their benefits suspended! We absolutely cannot allow this cancer to continue sucking the nation's blood!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Wanfu simply nodded noncommittally and did not continue the conversation.

It's enough to leave it at that when it comes to this kind of thing.

If he were to actually say something like "stop his pension," he would be putting himself at a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Deputy Director Liu naturally understood what was going on.

But just as he was about to turn around and arrange for the security department to arrest the person, he suddenly paused.

He glanced down at the crumpled report in his hand, a hint of hesitation crossing his face, but ultimately couldn't suppress the doubt that had been nagging at him for so long:

"However... Mr. Jin, there's something else I need to ask you. Just who exactly is this Zhao Shanhe?"

Seeing Jin Wanfu raise his eyelids, Deputy Director Liu quickly explained with a forced smile, "Just now I heard those two old geezers talking about Zhao Shanhe this and Zhao Shanhe that, and now you're acting quite differently just hearing that name. But I've worked in this county for so many years, how come I've never heard of this person before?"

Jin Wanfu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled softly as if he had heard a joke.

"It's perfectly normal that you haven't heard of him. He's not some county official, much less the son of some leader."

Jin Wanfu slowly took out a cigarette case from his pocket, knocked out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, casually uttering a remark about the background: "In the end, he's just a hunter from Kaoshantun."

"A hunter?"

Deputy Director Liu was clearly stunned.

"A hunter?"

"right."

Jin Wanfu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke.

"In the past, we would go up the mountain to hunt, collect some mountain products, and trade some hides."

"I don't even have a formal job."

Deputy Director Liu glanced down at the thick stack of complaint materials in his hand, then looked at Jin Wanfu, who was sitting in Secretary Chen's car and talking about how familiar he was with Zhao Shanhe. The doubt on his face did not lessen, but rather deepened.

"So, you and him..."

We met through business.

Jin Wanfu answered casually.

"This kid looks young, but he's bold, has a sharp eye, and most importantly—he's willing to risk his life to do what he promises."

"Later, Director Li of the Municipal Bureau took a liking to him."

Deputy Director Liu's eyelids twitched suddenly.

"Municipal Bureau... Director Li Yuanchao?"

"Otherwise what?"

Jin Wanfu, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced at him with a half-smile.

"Municipal Bureau... Director Li Yuanchao?" Deputy Director Liu's eyelids twitched suddenly, and his voice changed.

"Otherwise what?" Jin Wanfu, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced at him with a half-smile.

At this, Deputy Director Liu's expression completely changed.

This is the most powerful and influential figure in the entire city recently! Chen Jianguo, the old leader who had been deeply rooted in the city for many years, was brought down by him and suffered a complete defeat.

It's been the talk of the town in the organization for a long time.

Through this battle, Li Yuanchao not only earned a fearsome reputation by stepping on his opponents, but also came into the sights of his superiors.

There are even rumors circulating that this ruthless person is very likely to take another big step forward in the next round of leadership reshuffle in the city.

How could someone who is at the forefront of power, someone even city-level officials would avoid, possibly be interested in Zhao Shanhe, a hunter from Kaoshantun?

However, Deputy Director Liu was well aware of the rules and regulations in officialdom.

Some things are best left unsaid; asking too many questions about topics that are too complex is pointless.

He suppressed the surging shock in his heart and wisely swallowed back all the unspoken doubts. However, thinking of the old woman rolling around in the mud, he paused and whispered to Jin Wanfu for confirmation:

"If that's the case... then what should we do with Li Cuihua?"

"No matter what, she is nominally Comrade Zhao Shanhe's biological mother. If I directly punish her severely for 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble,' and try to kill her, what if Comrade Zhao Shanhe has other ideas later, or feels that it's not good for him? I'm a little uneasy about this. Am I...?"
