Chapter 375: Chapter 374, Xu Wendong Plays Dumb to Catch the Tiger

Xiao Wang immediately took out the contract he carried with him.

After paying three months’ rent and a month’s deposit, Xu Wendong also received the keys.

Xiao Wang led Xu Wendong into room 301; the apartment spanned over 120 square meters. Being a multi-story building, there was no shared area, making it appear quite spacious.

Since Xu Wendong was the last tenant to move in, his room did not face the sun. However, the room was clean and tidy, which made him very satisfied.

Xiao Wang showed Xu Wendong around the apartment, then called the other two tenants to inform them of their new roommate before leaving.

With housing arrangements settled, Xu Wendong was prepared to report to the Bureau of Commerce. Although Bai Lu had given him half a day off, he wanted to integrate into work quickly.

While he was waiting for the bus at the stop, a black SUV approached from afar and abruptly braked in front of him.

The door opened, and four burly men stepped out menacingly. The leader wore a mocking smile: "Xu, will you come with us willingly, or should we carry you?"

"Bright daylight, and you dare to abduct people on the street? Aren’t you guys a bit too bold?" Xu Wendong looked on in disbelief.

He was the underground leader of Qingyuan.

Even the boss of the underworld in Dongyue Province.

But even so,

he’d never seen such brazen behavior, abducting someone at a bus stop in broad daylight.

What he didn’t expect was that in Lianyun County, there were people who disregarded the law.

This was a blatant challenge to the law, a mockery of it.

The burly man grinned: "Not just abducting, even if we killed you on the street and threw you into the sea to feed the sharks, what’s the big deal? You should know the Wang Family is the sky in Lianyun County, the law here."

Xu Wendong exclaimed: "The Wang Family is truly arrogant!"

He wasn’t surprised they were sent by Wang Wei. After all, he had just reported to Lianyun County yesterday and had only offended Wang Wei. No one else would seek trouble with him.

What surprised him was that they claimed the Wang Family was the sky in Lianyun County, the law here.

Clearly,

the economic downturn in Lianyun County wasn’t just a feng shui issue, but closely related to the corruption and negligence of certain officials here.

If the Wang Family didn’t have protection,

if the officials in Lianyun County were incorruptible and served the people, how could the economy here be so bad?

"Since you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame us!" The leader’s eyes flashed coldly, then he reached out to grab Xu Wendong.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wendong dodged his large hand with a swift motion.

"Dare to dodge?"

The burly man was furious and signaled to his three companions. The four surrounded Xu Wendong and slowly closed in.

To be honest, Xu Wendong could easily subdue these four men. Even if there were forty, they couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

But now, his identity as the driver for the deputy director of the Bureau of Commerce meant he had infiltrated the system and couldn’t solve problems with fists as before.

Moreover, his new identity dictated that he couldn’t use violence to solve problems, otherwise, he couldn’t survive within the system.

Xu Wendong, though new to officialdom, knew the difference between officialdom and the underworld. Officialdom was a battlefield without visible smoke, where survival depended on wit.

In the underworld, it was all about fists; there was a fundamental difference between the two.

"Get down!" One of the burly men seized the opportunity to kick Xu Wendong in the back, knocking him to the ground. His forehead hit the curb, and blood gushed out.

Seeing this, the other men closed in, punching and kicking Xu Wendong while cursing and spitting on him.

Xu Wendong clutched his head and cried out in anguish, shouting, "Help, someone, help me!"

He was less than twenty meters from the gate of Jinxiu Qiancheng, and very close to the civil servant’s residential area. His cries drew a lot of attention.

However,

no one dared to come forward to help, as everyone could see the four men were vicious, and no one wanted to trouble themselves.

Of course, this situation was entirely within Xu Wendong’s expectation.

It wasn’t that the people didn’t want to act heroically, but their hearts had grown numb, and this numbness was all due to corruption.

What he needed to do was awaken the people’s meager sense of justice in this city.

"Damn it, just a lowly driver, dare to ruin Young Master Wang’s plans? Do you really think driving for the deputy director of the Bureau of Commerce allows you to look down on Young Master Wang?"

"That’s right, no one can disrespect Young Master Wang. Those who offend him must pay a painful price!" The four men spewed insults and continued their assault.

Although Xu Wendong was being beaten on the ground, his heart remained calm. He even analyzed his injuries: "Blood is flowing continuously from the head, causing a concussion."

"And three ribs are broken."

"The left arm also has a bone fracture."

"In my current situation,"

"even if I kill, it would be considered self-defense."

"I want to see if this city’s core is rotten!"

With this in mind, Xu Wendong roared as he stood, grabbed a middle-aged man’s waist, and slammed him backward.

The middle-aged man was shocked, not expecting Xu Wendong, bloodied and beaten, to have such fighting power. Before he could react, he bent his arm and elbowed Xu Wendong’s back hard.

He thought Xu Wendong would release him, but was stunned to find his back hard as iron.

Before he could recover,

Xu Wendong rammed him into a wall, causing him to spit blood, his vision blurring, and his eyes closing as he lost his breath on the spot.

"Kill him!"

The other three men, believing their companion had fainted, roared in anger and charged forward.

Xu Wendong flashed a wild smile, spotting bricks in the distance, he grabbed one and rushed toward the three men with a roar.

At this moment,

his aura changed.

Before, he had been a helpless lamb,

but now, he was a savage, raging beast, especially with those crimson eyes that sent chills down people’s spines.

As if he were the Grim Reaper incarnate, a single glance could take a life.

The three middle-aged men were all taken aback, not expecting Xu Wendong to have such fierce eyes and demeanor. Yet, they remained confident they could defeat him.

If this guy was truly strong, how could he have been beaten to the ground and bloodied earlier?

As the three reached Xu Wendong, he swung the brick tightly in his hand, smashing it directly onto one middle-aged man’s forehead.

Splat!

Crimson blood gushed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

Witnessing this scene, the other two were instantly stunned.

His strength was astonishing!

Could it be he had been pretending all along?
