Chapter 614: Chapter 613: Numb to the World

Jiang Man spotted Zhang Xiaoshan amidst the crowd, and her eyes immediately filled with surprise and joy.

She wasn’t meant to come in person this time, and yet, she volunteered to lead the team, driven by her own selfish desires, just to see Zhang Xiaoshan.

Although Jiang Man came from a family of power and prestige, and carried herself with pride, in front of Zhang Xiaoshan she was nothing more than an ordinary woman to the extreme, her longing overflowing.

"Let’s go, let’s take a look," she said excitedly, striding towards the primary school construction site with the rest hurrying to keep up with her.

"Isn’t that Supervisor Ma, Ma Zhiming from the town government?"

"And there are police officers with him, what are they doing here?"

When the villagers saw Ma Zhiming, their expressions immediately turned to panic.

It was because the one they had injured, Liu Qiang, was the nephew of Ma Zhiming.

"Heh heh heh."

Upon laying eyes on Ma Zhiming, Liu Qiang, who was beaten and bloodied, suddenly puffed up with energy as if injected with chicken blood.

"Kid, you’re finished, you hit me, and you hit so hard. Look, my brother-in-law is here, and he’s brought the Security Bureau’s people. You just wait to go to prison," he sneered.

"Hmph, you’re looking at no less than three years to start with. You’ll have your time to cry," Liu Qiang said, his tail practically wagging to the sky.

"Zhang Xiaoshan, it’s all, all my fault, I’ve caused you trouble. Later, just push all the responsibility onto me. If someone really has to go to jail, let it be me instead," Xu Jing said, clutching Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm with a worried and admiring look in her eyes.

"What a pair of shameless lovers. Wait and see, I’ll have my brother-in-law send both of you in," Liu Qiang said triumphantly as he ran towards Ma Zhiming.

"Brother-in-law, save me, save me! I’m going to be beaten to death, I can’t make it, I’m not going to make it," he yelled as he ran.

"How the hell did this son of a bitch end up here? And all covered in blood?"

"Something’s not right."

Seeing his useless nephew, Ma Zhiming had an ominous premonition.

"Who is that man? How did he end up in such a state?"

"Supervisor Ma, I heard him calling your name. Is he your friend?" Qi Hong asked curiously.

Ma Zhiming’s heart thumped nervously. This whole situation seemed very wrong to him, and his voice trembled as he spoke.

"I, I know him; he, he’s my nephew. White Dragon Village’s Love Primary School gets its materials from him. But, I didn’t engage in any underhanded dealings, because, because he’s the only cement and building material supplier in our town, there was no choice. However, I, I did instruct him that since it’s a charity project, he should charge at cost," he said.

"He might have come to deliver the materials personally; I had asked him to do so, he must be very diligent about it."

"Oh?" Jiang Man glanced at Ma Zhiming, skepticism written all over her face.

While this conversation took place, Liu Qiang had already run up to them.

At the moment, Liu Qiang was solely fixated on his brother-in-law Ma Zhiming coming to his rescue and getting revenge. He didn’t notice anyone else’s presence and grabbed Ma Zhiming’s wrist, whining lamentably,

"Brother-in-law, save me! The people in this village are all troublemakers. I did the work, delivered the materials, and not only did they refuse to pay me, but they also started hitting people. Look, I’ve been beaten to a bloody pulp," he wailed.

"My workers have been held captive by them too."

"This, this is a violation of the law, a crime! Brother-in-law, you have to do something."

"Who, who hit you?" Ma Zhiming was completely stunned.

These *** people, today’s inspection from higher-ups was his chance to make a good impression, angle for a promotion. What the hell was this mess?

Liu Qiang pointed his finger.

"Him, it was him. This kid was the one who hit me, these villagers acted on his instigation. You need to arrest him for me," he demanded.

His finger was pointed directly at Zhang Xiaoshan.

Ma Zhiming was utterly baffled.

He was well aware of the relationship between Zhang Xiaoshan and Jiang Man. They were publicly known as siblings, but ever since the incident at the county hospital, virtually everyone in the county system above his level knew that the two were intimately involved.

The mess his good-for-nothing nephew had created was nothing but seeking his own death.

But how could it drag him down too?

Ma Zhiming was internally cursing away.

Before Ma Zhiming could speak up, Jiang Man preemptively and assertively asked Liu Qiang,

"He must have had a reason to hit you, right?"

"It’s none of your damn business! The town supervisor is here; do you have a right to speak?"

"Don’t you know your place," Liu Qiang blurted out, and as soon as those words left his mouth, the expressions of everyone in the official entourage changed, with Ma Zhiming’s expression in particular resembling someone who had just eaten excrement, utterly distressed.

"Get the hell out of here with your nonsense," Ma Zhiming, knowing he had to distance himself from Liu Qiang immediately to avoid a catastrophe, swung his hand across Liu Qiang’s face with a smack, knocking him onto his backside on the ground.

"Brother-in-law, why did you hit me?" Liu Qiang, holding his face, looked at Ma Zhiming in dumbfounded grievance.

Scolding Liu Qiang, Ma Zhiming said,

"You blind ignoramus, you’re the one without manners. This is the Deputy Director from the county! You *** fool, how dare you speak to her like that?"

"Deputy Director?" Liu Qiang was struck dumb.

Yet there was more to come that would dumbfound him further.

Zhang Xiaoshan approached them,

and simply stepped over Liu Qiang’s prone body.

"Oh, Dr. Zhang, it’s been a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding," Ma Zhiming said, rushing to shake hands with Zhang Xiaoshan, but was blatantly ignored as Zhang Xiaoshan turned to Jiang Man with a smile.

"Sis, the inspection team should have given us a heads-up so we could prepare and welcome you properly," he said.

"What?"

Liu Qiang on the ground sat there, gaping, completely dumbfounded.
