Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

Wang Bancheng has fallen.

It's completely and utterly overturned.

Not only were the ill-gotten gains accumulated over decades wiped out overnight by fines, but the entire family was also destitute.

He himself was formally criminally detained by the public security authorities on suspicion of multiple crimes, including tax evasion, illegal mining, and violent resistance to law enforcement.

This "brother-in-law of the emperor," who was swaggering around just a moment ago, became a prisoner the next.

This news was like an atomic bomb going off in the Qingyun County officialdom!

Everyone knows who stands behind Wang Bancheng!

Liu Ming's move, seemingly aimed at rectifying the chaos in the mines, was in fact a ruthless act of cutting off the most important source of revenue for County Party Secretary Li Yuankui!

This is a declaration of war!

It is a blatant, direct challenge to the highest authority in Qingyun County!

The entire county committee compound was shrouded in an eerie, impending silence.

Everyone held their breath, awaiting the impending thunderous wrath.

Everyone thought that Li Yuankui would fly into a rage and use all his power to crush Liu Ming, this reckless young man, to pieces.

however……

To everyone's surprise,

Li Yuankui, far from losing his temper.

Instead, the next day he personally had his secretary deliver an invitation to Liu Ming.

A private invitation with the words "Informal Banquet" written in gold-embossed calligraphy.

The time was 7 p.m. that evening.

The location was a private club owned by Li Yuankui in the suburbs of the county, which was not open to the public.

The only person who invited him was Li Yuankui.

The only person invited was Liu Ming.

—Going to the meeting alone.

When this news came out, everyone gasped in shock.

They knew this was no "casual banquet" at all.

This was clearly a complete and utter... **Feast at Hongmen**!

……

7 p.m. that evening.

Liu Ming arrived at the appointment on time.

He didn't bring anyone with him, or even drive a car. He simply took a taxi, dressed in casual clothes, to that luxurious private club hidden among the mountains and rivers.

Li Yuankui's secretary was already waiting at the entrance of the club.

When he saw that Liu Ming had come alone, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his respect.

"Team Leader Liu, the Party Secretary is already waiting for you inside."

Liu Ming nodded and followed the secretary inside.

The interior of the club is decorated in an antique style, with every step revealing a luxurious scene.

But Liu Ming's keen observation sensed a hint of... unusual murderous intent behind all this luxury.

Behind the artificial hill, behind the screen, at the corner of the corridor...

They all concealed something, their breathing steady, their temples bulging high... "Waitress".

Their waists were slightly bulging.

That was the outline of a weapon.

—The executioners and axemen were already lying in ambush.

Liu Ming sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm.

Guided by his secretary, he arrived at a private room overlooking the lake.

Inside the private room, there was only a small square table.

On the table were four dishes and a soup, several side dishes, and a bottle of Moutai, which looked quite valuable.

Li Yuankui was sitting at the table, personally warming the wine cups.

Today, instead of wearing the Zhongshan suit that symbolized power, he wore a loose Tang suit and had a warm smile on his face.

He didn't look like a dignified county party secretary; he looked more like a friendly neighbor preparing to entertain a friend of a different age.

"Little Liu's here, come and sit down." He pointed to the seat opposite him, his tone so friendly it was almost unsettling.

"Secretary, you're too kind." Liu Ming didn't stand on ceremony and pulled out a chair to sit down.

"Hey, what secretary or whatever." Li Yuankui waved his hand and personally poured Liu Ming a glass of wine. "Today, there are no secretaries here, no clerks. Only an old man like me who has worked hard for Qingyun County for half his life, and a young man with a bright future."

He raised his glass: "Come on, Xiao Liu, this first drink is for you."

"I salute you. You brought in 5 billion yuan in investment for Qingyun County. That's an incredible achievement!"

"I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."

After saying that, he actually tilted his head back and drank the whole glass of baijiu in one gulp!

His demeanor was so unrestrained, as if all previous grudges had vanished into thin air.

Liu Ming looked at him with deep eyes.

He knew that this old fox was playing mind games with him.

First courtesy, then force.

First, they use "courtesy" to lull you into a false sense of security and lower your guard.

If you actually believe he's trying to be nice to you, then you're not far from death.

Liu Ming smiled, picked up his wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Secretary, you flatter me. I was just doing what I was supposed to do."

The two of them took turns drinking, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

The atmosphere remained in a state of extreme "harmony," yet also extremely eerie balance.

Finally, after drinking half a bottle of Moutai.

Li Yuankui put down his wine glass.

He looked at Liu Ming, and a hint of coldness finally appeared in his deep eyes.

"Little Liu."

His voice remained calm, but the temperature in the private room seemed to drop several degrees suddenly.

"You are a smart and capable person."

"So, I won't beat around the bush with you today."

He took out a check from his pocket and gently pushed it in front of Liu Ming.

The string of zeros on the check is enough to drive any ordinary person crazy!

—**Ten million!**

"I know you didn't attack Wang Bancheng for money," Li Yuan-kui said slowly. "You did it to establish your authority and to implement your so-called 'new policies.'"

"Good, you've established your authority. You've achieved your goal."

"Now, I'm giving you a choice."

He pointed to the check.

"Take this money and leave Qingyun County. I can pretend nothing happened. I can even use my connections to get you a better, more promising position in the city."

"or……"

His voice suddenly turned cold!

"You'll have to suffer the consequences if you don't listen to reason!"

"My ability to remain standing in Qingyun County for twenty years is not solely due to political maneuvering!"

His words had barely left his lips when...

Behind the screens surrounding the private room, the "axemen" who had been hiding slowly emerged.

They surrounded Liu Ming, their faces contorted with malice and their eyes filled with hostility.

The true intentions have been revealed.

Coercion and bribery!

Use both soft and hard tactics!

however……

Faced with this scene, which would terrify anyone.

Liu Ming's face still held that calm and serene expression.

He even had the leisure to pick up a bite of food and savor it carefully.

Then he slowly raised his head, looked at Li Yuankui, and smiled.

"Secretary, your dish is quite good."

"This wine... seems to have a problem."

"What?" Li Yuankui was taken aback.

"This special edition Moutai of yours is from a good vintage," Liu Ming said, swirling the liquid in his glass. "It's a pity, though, that it's been adulterated with... something that shouldn't have been added."

"For example, there's a colorless and odorless nerve agent from the Golden Triangle. Just 0.01 grams is enough to cause an adult to die from cardiac arrest within ten minutes. And forensic doctors can't even detect it."

"boom!"

It was as if a thunderclap had exploded in Li Yuankui's head!

How...how did he know?

Only he and his confidant knew about the poisoning of the wine.

"You...you're talking nonsense!" he shouted, trying to remain calm.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Liu Ming smiled, took out her phone from her pocket, and opened a recording.

Two voices, extremely familiar to Li Yuankui, came from the recording.

One of them was his secretary.

The other one is his... brother-in-law, Wang Bancheng!

"...My brother-in-law said this time we have to settle this once and for all! We can't give him any chance to recover! Put enough liquid in his drink! Make sure he doesn't leave this room alive!"

The recording is incredibly clear!

Li Yuankui's face instantly turned even paler than a dead man's!

He couldn't understand how this conversation had been recorded!

"I know more than just that you poisoned him." Liu Ming put away her phone and slowly uttered a sentence that utterly terrified Li Yuankui.

"I also know about the mining disaster ten years ago that you covered up, which killed hundreds of people."

"I also know that the bodies of those miners are buried in the lake under the rosewood armchair you're sitting in right now."

"Secretary, you said... if I hand over these things, along with evidence of your son Li Shaojie's involvement in money laundering and drug trafficking while studying abroad, to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's inspection team..."

"Do you really think you can sit here and eat with me peacefully?"

"You...you..."

Li Yuan-kui pointed at Liu Ming, his whole body trembling uncontrollably!

He felt like a naked baby, all his secrets and sins stripped bare by this devilish young man!

"Do it! Kill him!" He used all his remaining strength to let out his last hysterical roar.

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards who were lying in ambush were about to make their move!

however……

Liu Ming simply snapped her fingers lightly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The window of the private room was smashed instantly from the outside using an extremely violent method!

A dozen or so black figures, like death gods descending from the sky, entered through the window one after another, each wielding a miniature submachine gun with a silencer.

Their movements were lightning fast and perfectly coordinated!

It only took a moment!

Those "axemen" who hadn't even had time to draw their weapons had already had dark gun barrels pressed against their heads!

——**Dragon Shield Security!**

—Dragon Fang Special Forces!

Li Yuankui was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at the professional soldiers who exuded a murderous aura like mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and then at his own so-called "bodyguards" who were so scared that they wet their pants.

He knew he had lost from the very beginning.

A crushing defeat.

Liu Ming slowly stood up.

He walked up to Li Yuankui, picked up the bottle of special-supply Moutai on the table, which was still mostly empty.

He poured Li Yuankui a large, full glass.

Then, he poured himself a large glass full.

He picked up his wine glass, looked at the so-called "number one figure in Qingyun County" whose face had turned ashen, and smiled.

That smile was radiant yet brimming with endless mockery.

"Secretary, don't be nervous."

"This is hardly a trap!"

"This is clearly my... victory celebration."

"Come, let me toast you to celebrate my resounding success."

"You should do it too. Consider it... an apology to me."
