Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

At this moment, Xiao Lei got up from the ground, patted the dust off his knees, and found that his palm was scraped and burning with pain.

He stood by the roadside, watching the white Porsche disappear around the corner, gritted his teeth, took out his phone, found Biaozi's number, and dialed it.

It rang several times before I answered.

"Biaozi, are you going to get rid of that Chen Ping for me or not?"

Xiao Lei's voice was very low, but every word sounded like it would shatter the phone screen.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Biaozi's voice came over, carrying a sense of helplessness, as if he had been cornered.

"Young Master Xiao, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you know how many men I brought with me that time at Donglaishun. This guy is really hard to deal with, and sending my men up there would be pointless," Biaozi said helplessly.

Xiao Lei gripped his phone so tightly that his knuckles cracked.

"I don't care what methods you use, how much money you spend, or how many people you hire. I want him crippled, do you understand?" Xiao Lei roared.

Biaozi was silent for two seconds, then lowered his voice even further, "Young Master Xiao, I really can't afford to mess with this guy. He's too damn good at fighting. I really can't take this job. You should find someone else."

The phone call ended; Biaozi was truly terrified of being beaten.

The beeping sound was ringing in his ear. Xiao Lei took the phone off his ear, stared at the screen for two seconds, and cursed.

He then dialed Xu Wenshan's number.

It took several rings before the call was answered.

Xu Wenshan's voice came from the other end of the phone, carrying a cautious and ingratiating tone, "Young Master Xiao, you wanted to see me?"

Xiao Lei didn't exchange pleasantries with him; his voice was cold and harsh.

"Xu Wenshan, why hasn't your funding issue been resolved yet? Didn't you say you could block Chen Ping from receiving the funds? Now the money has arrived and the health center has been renovated, what have you done?" Xiao Lei questioned.

Xu Wenshan's voice was even lower, as if he were speaking through a microphone.

"Young Master Xiao, it's not that I'm unwilling to do my job, but Su Meng is keeping a close eye on things. Every time I bring this up at the bureau, she pulls out documents to block me. Besides, Fang Hai has already signed them, so I really can't make a move. How about we try a different approach?"

"Which direction should we change to?"

Xiao Lei raised his voice a few decibels. A passerby glanced at him, he glared back, and the person quickly walked away.

"Since we can't address the funding issue, let's look for problems in medical safety. A township health center that treats so many patients is bound to have a medical accident sooner or later."

"If we seize the opportunity and revoke Chen Ping's professional license, he'll be finished."

Xu Wenshan's voice carried a sinister undertone.

Xiao Lei remained silent.

He stood by the roadside, watching the cars come and go, lit a cigarette, and took a puff.

The red glow of the cigarette butt was very faint in the sunlight, almost invisible.

He exhaled the smoke, which was then dispersed by the wind.

"Okay, you figure something out. I'm determined to see Chen Ping driven to the brink of despair," Xiao Lei said.

"Young Master Xiao, as long as Su Meng is in the bureau, you can forget about touching Chen Ping. You have to take down Su Meng first," Xu Wenshan said.

Xu Wenshan's words have two meanings.

The first step is to get Xiao Lei to win over Su Meng. Then Xiao Lei and Su Meng will be family, and naturally they won't have to worry about Chen Ping anymore.

The second method involves having Xiao Lei use his connections to remove Su Meng from her position as deputy director. Without the title of deputy director, Su Meng would naturally be unable to manage anything.

Xu Wenshan wanted Xiao Lei to use his father's position as deputy mayor to remove Su Meng from her position as deputy director of the Health Bureau.

In that case, he will have no competition, and when Qi Guofu is transferred, he will become the director.

After listening to Xu Wenshan's words, Xiao Lei thought for a moment, then his voice gradually turned cold, "That Deputy Director Su Meng, if I help you behind the scenes, can you get her removed?"

Having been slapped by Su Meng, Xiao Lei no longer had much patience for her.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Xu Wenshan's breathing came through the receiver, shallow and rapid, one breath at a time.

"Young Master Xiao, if you support me from behind, I'm sure I can get rid of that Su Meng."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But we can't be too hasty. After all, Su Meng has a certain influence in the Health Bureau, and Director Qi seems to have a bit of a thing for her. I noticed something like that during dinner last night."

Xiao Lei held the cigarette between his fingers, but didn't smoke it.

His brows furrowed, and his expression grew even more grim.

Although he had been pursuing Su Meng and she hadn't agreed to his advances, it didn't mean that other men could have designs on her.

Especially that fat old man, Qi Guofu.

"Young Master Xiao, Director Qi offered to take her home last night. I don't know what happened after that, but if this is handled properly, she will get into trouble on her own without us having to lift a finger."

Xu Wenshan's voice carried a profound meaning.

This Xu Wenshan is a real shrewd old fox; right now, he's using Xiao Lei, the son of a high-ranking official, as a tool.

He knew Xiao Lei liked Su Meng, but he still brought up Qi Guofu's matter with Xiao Lei, clearly intending to use Xiao Lei to get rid of Qi Guofu as well.

If Qi Guofu and Su Meng are both ousted from their posts, then Xu Wenshan will be the sole decision-maker in the entire Health Bureau.

Xiao Lei angrily threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it.

"I don't think Qi Guofu wants to be the bureau chief anymore." Xiao Lei gritted his teeth, spitting out each word clearly. "You keep a close eye on him in the bureau. If Qi Guofu dares to do anything wrong, you take photos as evidence and I'll take him down too."

"Young Master Xiao, don't worry, I'll take care of this." Xu Wenshan patted his chest happily.

He had achieved his goal. All he had to do was take some photos of Qi Guofu and Su Meng's affairs, and Xiao Lei would take care of them without him lifting a finger.

"Okay, I'll give you a month. Within a month, find something on them, and then I'll use my connections to bring them down."

"If Su Meng and Qi Guofu both go down, you'll be in charge at the Health Bureau. If you still can't handle Chen Ping, you know the consequences."

After Xiao Lei finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.

His last words were simply to tell Xu Wenshan that although he was the son of an official, he was not a fool.

Xiao Lei hung up the phone, put it in his pocket, and walked towards his car. A cool breeze blew by, and he shivered.

He opened the car door, got in, started the engine, and the black Audi merged into the traffic, turned a corner, and disappeared.

Xu Wenshan broke out in a cold sweat as he listened to the busy tone on the phone. He hadn't expected that Xiao Lei would know about his scheme.
