Chapter 225: Chapter 224

"Background?"

Hu Shengli grinned indifferently.

"Qingshan Town is such a small place; who has how many acres and what background could there be that I don’t already know about? Wang Xiaolong had already informed me. This kid’s reliance is on the underground boss of the county, Baldy Liu, just a thug and rogue. Can he really compete with us in uniform?"

"Baldy Liu, that man also has significant influence in Wanshan County," his confidante expressed some concerns.

However, Hu Shengli waved his hand dismissively.

"Now that the investigations are so strict from above, Baldy Liu is also having a hard time. Besides, do you think he dares to attack our Security Bureau?"

"As long as I wear this uniform, even if I lent Baldy Liu eight hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare to act rashly."

"This..." Little Liu still had some doubts.

Hu Shengli smiled mysteriously, looking very pleased with himself.

"Little Liu, you’ve been following me for a while now. We’re all our own people here. I can let you in on some news in advance: I’m about to be transferred to the county as the head of the traffic department. I’m thinking of letting you take over my position. You understand what I mean, right?"

Upon hearing this, Little Liu’s eyes immediately lit up, and he promptly guaranteed to Hu Shengli.

"Chief Hu, rest assured, I’ve got this covered. I’ll make it an ironclad case."

"Alright, go ahead, Wang Dalong is treating us to dinner tonight."

Thus, Little Liu headed to the interrogation room.

In the small dark room, Zhang Xiaoshan was handcuffed to a chair.

Seeing Little Liu enter, Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t even lift his eyelids.

"Kid, you’re quite bold, aren’t you? We’ve already clarified your connections. Isn’t it just relying on Baldy Liu from the county? Let me tell you, this is the Security Bureau. No matter how gutsy Baldy Liu is, he wouldn’t dare extend his hand here. Don’t be delusional, just confess honestly. Where did the guns come from?"

"Did you buy them from abroad?"

"Be honest and lenient, resist and be strict."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan exploded.

"I know you’ve been bought by Wang Xiaolong, but I never imagined you’d be so shameless to pin the gun ownership on me!"

"I’m telling you, those weapons were brought by Wang Xiaolong’s people. As for their source, perhaps you should ask Wang Xiaolong for more clarity?"

"Also, I was the one who called the police. I’m the victim. Why did you only bring me in? What about Wang Xiaolong and his people?"

"Your bias is far too obvious!"

Zhang Xiaoshan was strikingly to the point.

Yet Little Liu felt no shame; instead, he lit a cigarette, walked up to Zhang Xiaoshan, patted his shoulder, and said with a cunning look.

"Kid, remember, the person framing you knows better than you how you are being framed."

"You must also know some of the Wang family’s influence in Qingshan Town. They are the real power holders here. Whether you admit it or not doesn’t matter, I can still make this case a solid one."

"But I still want to give you a chance. If you confess on your own, I can count it as voluntary surrender. That way, you could be out in three years. But if you’re uncooperative, you’ll get at least seven or eight years. Think about it yourself."

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Little Liu and smiled.

"What benefit did Hu Shengli offer you for you to be so dedicated? But let me advise you, it’s better if you don’t mess up, otherwise, there will be a time when you’ll cry."

Little Liu, feeling an ominous vibe from Zhang Xiaoshan’s gaze but reassured by Hu Shengli’s promise, spoke again.

"Kid, are you choosing the severe punishment over the mild one, huh?"

"Just you wait."

Saying so, Little Liu picked up a stick and walked towards Zhang Xiaoshan.

"I’ll make you tough it out."

He placed a wooden board across Zhang Xiaoshan’s chest and with the other hand ferociously struck it with the stick, a method designed to leave no visible marks on the victim’s body.

"Bang."

A dull thud.

"Ah."

Zhang Xiaoshan showed no change, but Little Liu screamed in agony.

The stick fell to the ground as his right hand throbbed painfully, his entire arm going numb.

This was Zhang Xiaoshan using his True Qi.

He had reflected all the force back.

"What, what did you do?"

Little Liu was immediately panicked and looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with a hint of terror.

Zhang Xiaoshan, intending to scare Little Liu, said,

"Didn’t you say my backup is Baldy Liu from the county? Why don’t you consider why someone like Baldy Liu listens to me? Let me tell you, it’s because I know witchcraft."

"Witchcraft?"

Little Liu was terribly frightened.

"You, you tough guy, just you wait."

He left the interrogation room in disarray and went to report to Hu Shengli.

After hearing this, Hu Shengli’s expression turned as cold as frost.

"You believe what he says? I don’t believe his bones are that tough. I’ll see for myself."

As Hu Shengli just reached the courtyard of the Security Bureau, a Guangben car drove in.

It was Wang Xiaolong and his siblings, Wu Xiaoru and Wu Yong, who had just dealt with their injuries.

"Uncle Hu, where is that kid?"

Wang Xiaolong was already eager to deal with Zhang Xiaoshan.

Hu Shengli pointed in the direction of the small dark room and said,

"He’s already locked up. I was just about to personally interrogate him."

"Heh, Uncle Hu, why not take me inside for a look, let me have some relief?"

Hu Shengli thought for a moment and then nodded.

A group of them started walking toward the interrogation room.

Meanwhile, a black sedan followed by several police cars was rapidly driving from the direction of Wanshan County city towards the Qingshan Town Security Bureau.

In the leading black sedan sat a woman, her expression as cold as ice, none other than the Deputy Chairwoman of Wanshan County, Jiang Man.
