Official Career Storm
Chapter 589

Chapter 589: Chapter 589

"Get in the car first."

Song Guanchao whispered.

He had made thorough preparations last night because he was worried about accidents.

But he thought the other side wouldn’t dare to be too blatant.

Yet he still underestimated this group’s shamelessness.

And overestimated their sense of the rule of law.

In these remote rural places, when issues arose, they were resolved with fists, not with law.

"Madman, go get some tools."

"Platoon leader? Aren’t we leaving?"

"There’s no rush, let’s see how it plays out first."

"Got it."

Excited to have a fight, Lu Feng turned and dashed into the old woman’s house. Ignoring her shouting and blocking, he grabbed a hoe and iron shovel leaning against the wall and left.

During it all, an old man thought to intervene but was frightened off by a look from Lu Feng.

"Platoon leader, here."

Song Guanchao took the iron shovel and weighed it.

This thing is good.

A long weapon, with an iron knob on one end, a vertical swing could knock someone out, better than a stick.

It could also be swung like a blade, and with enough force, the edge of the shovel could easily split someone’s head open.

Song Guanchao looked at the hoe in Lu Feng’s hand and said, "Be careful with your strikes."

"Understood."

Lu Feng, looking at the dozen or so people gathering in the distance, excitedly said, "Here they come!"

These dozen people all had farming tools, each one a farmworker, not particularly burly, but very strong.

After all, they regularly did farmwork and what they certainly didn’t lack was strength.

They quickly ran over, and the man Song Guanchao had kicked to the ground also got up and pointed at him, shouting: "Kill them!"

They didn’t even ask what Song Guanchao was there for, they just started fighting.

A few minutes later.

All these people were lying on the ground.

The old woman and the old man had witnessed everything and were now shivering in the yard, too scared to come out and demand a parking fee.

Soon, another six or seven people came.

They were smarter, seeing the people lying on the ground, they knew the newcomers were trouble.

They didn’t dare use their hands, but their mouths were unforgiving: "Where are you guys from? What are you doing in our village?"

"Who allowed you to beat people? Do you know that’s against the law?"

Song Guanchao almost laughed out loud.

I talk law to you, you fight me with fists.

I fight you with fists, now you come back at me with the law.

Really a joke.

One of the men lying on the ground said, "Don’t waste words with them, call the police! Let Director Wang come, lock them all up!"

"Yes, call the police!"

The others on the ground also began shouting.

The ones who came to help immediately made the call.

Seeing this, Song Guanchao whispered in a low voice, "Take them to the county first."

"Aren’t you coming?"

"No rush, I’ll play with them a bit."

Lu Feng, knowing the platoon leader had many tricks up his sleeve and dared to stay behind, was sure he had a way to get away unscathed.

Without hesitation, he got into the vehicle and left.

Zhou Qian said anxiously, "He hasn’t gotten in the car yet."

"The platoon leader told us to go first, he has a plan."

Seeing the people leave, the villagers were frantically anxious and immediately surrounded Song Guanchao.

Song Guanchao twirled the iron shovel in his hand: "What? Want to fight?"

The people were a bit intimidated.

Common sense told them that with Song Guanchao alone, as good as he was at fighting, if they piled on with more people, they could wear him down.

But the experience of just having been beaten made them hesitant to move.

Even if they could wear him down, someone would still get hit, and none of them wanted to be that person.

Anyway, once the police arrived, they’d take him to the station and deal with him slowly!

"Did anyone speak to Secretary Li?"

"No one answered his phone, so I sent him a text message."

Two villagers were whispering to each other.

Song Guanchao glanced at the time and took out his phone to text Liang Jianfeng.

About ten minutes later, a dust-covered police car drove over.

Two policemen got out of the car, a fat man in his forties and another in his thirties.

Their police uniforms were stretched by beer bellies, and their epaulettes were crooked.

"Director Wang, you must stand up for us."

A villager stepped forward to accuse, "This guy hit Grandpa San’s chickens. When we spoke to him about it, he started hitting people, no respect for the law at all!"

Director Wang frowned angrily, "Damn, making trouble in my area, handcuff him!"

The younger fat man pulled out handcuffs to arrest him, but Song Guanchao, smiling, said, "Director Wang, they started it."

"And if you’re arresting, shouldn’t you treat everyone equally and take them all?"

"Hey~ Are you the cop or am I the cop? Is it your turn to teach me how to handle a case?"

"Click!"

His hands were handcuffed, but Song Guanchao did not resist.

Then, the villager added, "Director Wang, he has accomplices."

"Accomplices?" Director Wang asked, "Your accomplices? Call them to come back! If they don’t, they’ll be wanted online later, all as fugitives!"

Director Wang clearly had no understanding of the law, just trying to scare people.

Song Guanchao raised his cuffed hands, "Director Wang, I remind you, these handcuffs you put on easily, but taking them off won’t be so easy."

Director Wang narrowed his eyes, just about to lash out, but then he felt a slight skip in his heart.

This guy is pretty calm.

Normal people encountering such a situation in the countryside would try to speak nicely.

After all, a village is not a county town, and certainly not like the city.

Getting taken to the police station here meant being cut off from the world, with no one to turn to.

This guy, either he has a significant background, or he is clueless about the severity of the situation.

He took a villager aside and asked, "What car did this guy come in?"

"An old Toyota."

"And it all started over a chicken?"

"Yes."

"What’s the license plate from?"

"It’s local."

Convinced there were no issues, Director Wang didn’t think further; assuming it was just a bluff, he put the person into the car and left.

They had just left when the villagers finally got hold of Li Zhuang.

"Secretary Li, there has been an incident..."

...

A few minutes later, the car returned to the town’s police station. As soon as they got out, Director Wang received a call from Li Zhuang.

Director Wang, obsequiously, "Secretary Li, what’s the matter?"

"Yes, we’ve caught him, just got back to the station. It was quite a severe beating. Alright, I’ll lock him up and wait for Secretary Li to come and personally interrogate him!"

After hanging up, Director Wang ordered, "Throw him in the interrogation room and let him cool down."

...

Li Zhuang was having lunch with the An County Magistrate at noon.

This time, as County Magistrate Xu was promoted to Dujiang City, the Deputy County Magistrate position was vacant, and he had his sights set on it.

He spent days running connections in the county, utilizing all the contacts he could.

After lunch, while having tea with the magistrate, his phone wouldn’t stop ringing. Initially too lazy to take the call, he picked it up feeling something was off.

Learning about the incident in the village, he broke into a cold sweat.

Someone had dared to inquire about welfare in the village.

And it was Liu Dongliang they had asked!

Could it be that he secretly contacted reporters for an undercover visit?

Learning that Director Wang had taken someone but some had escaped, Li Zhuang realized the seriousness of the situation. After excusing himself from the magistrate, he immediately headed to Panlong Town.

...

Song Guanchao’s confiscated phone kept ringing.

It was Liang Jianfeng calling.

Song Guanchao had told him that if no one answered the phone, it meant he was detained.

After calling three times with no answer, Liang Jianfeng realized that Song Guanchao was probably indeed detained.

With a grim expression, he found the An County Public Security Bureau Chief’s number and dialed him.

The leaders of An County were still unaware that today, things were about to change!
