Chapter 234 Defeat Like a Landslide
"Director Zhou, you've finally arrived."
"You should arrest these people immediately."
"Ah Kun was arrested by the police from those remote mountain counties. They even beat our men and fired several shots."
"Yes, there's no law anymore!"
"This house is rented out by our village. These people broke in without any permits. They are knowingly breaking the law."
"Yes, yes, how can we feel safe like this?"
……
The sound of villagers talking could be heard outside.
Zheng Zhiguo stopped and stared coldly in the direction of the iron gate.
Immediately, the iron gate was knocked on again, and a man's voice came from outside.
"I am the director of Xinlian Law Firm, and my surname is Zhou."
Open the door.
You have no right to enforce the law in other jurisdictions.
Please cease your illegal activities immediately.
Open the door.
Come back to the station with us and explain things clearly.
Zheng Zhiguo didn't say anything, he just stood there.
The banging on the door from outside intensified.
"Open the door! If you don't open the door, we'll have to take drastic measures!" Zhou shouted again.
Zheng Zhiguo's phone vibrated; it was a message from Dawei: "We've contacted the higher-ups, and I believe they'll take action soon. Go ahead and do what you're supposed to do."
"I have the key." A villager handed the key to the local police.
The door was opened.
Bang!
Five local police officers were about to rush in from outside the door.
Zheng Zhiguo raised his hand and fired a shot, which hit the iron gate.
With smoke billowing from the gun barrel, Director Zheng stood motionless at the villa's entrance.
Zhou and the others were so frightened that they retreated through the iron gate. Everyone was stunned. Was this person crazy?
How dare they fire at them?
With the text message from County Chief Chen, Zheng Zhiguo was no longer afraid of anything. With someone backing him up, what was there to fear?
His face was cold, and his gaze was unusually firm.
"I am Zheng Zhiguo, the director of the Public Security Bureau of Yuanshan County."
A major case is currently under investigation.
We have reported our actions to the provincial department.
No one may disturb the scene or step inside the iron gate.
Someone will help you complete the relevant procedures later.
Now, I demand that you leave immediately and move ten meters away from the door.
The two sides reached a stalemate.
Zhou dared not act rashly, unsure whether the other party's words were true or false. If it was indeed the provincial department leaders who agreed, then he wouldn't dare to cause trouble.
at this time.
Over in Guangzhou.
After receiving Dawei's call, Xu Aiguo personally went to the Provincial Public Security Department office, found one of his students, and personally greeted him.
In Humen, at the villa entrance, a police officer from the station whispered to Chief Zhou, "Chief Zhou, he might be trying to scam you."
"..." Zhou was unsure and kept looking at Zheng Zhiguo.
Judging from Zheng Zhiguo's demeanor, he felt that the other party was not lying and had enough confidence; otherwise, Zheng Zhiguo would not have been able to handle the situation.
"You have ten minutes."
If I don't get a call from above within ten minutes, I'll report to the branch office; none of you will be able to leave.
Zhou was wise enough to lead his men back ten meters first.
The man in flip-flops, known as Ah Kun, became agitated: "Chief Zhou, are you just going to stand by and watch them bully me like this? Are you just going to watch the people in your jurisdiction suffer illegal harm?"
Ah Wen, the guard in charge, yelled, "Shut up! You were the one who assaulted the police first. You're not leaving today!"
The villagers then put pressure on Zhou.
"Director Zhou, you can't just sit idly by."
"Yes, yes, you're also from Xinlian. How can you just stand by and watch outsiders bully us locals?"
"Oh dear, some people are just afraid of losing their jobs and don't care about the development of Xinlian at all. If this continues, who will dare to buy houses or land here, who will dare to invest?"
"Commander Zhou, they have guns, and so do you. Charge in and take them down!"
"Yeah, they have connections in the provincial government, and so do we. So what?"
……
Zhou was caught in the middle and in a very difficult situation: "I talked for ten minutes, just ten minutes."
Zheng Zhiguo, standing at the entrance to the villa's living room, and Awen, standing under the osmanthus tree in the yard, both held service pistols in their hands.
The two remained motionless.
The atmosphere was very serious.
These few minutes felt unusually long.
Behind Director Zheng, several comrades moved back and forth in the living room, carefully searching the room.
Zhou, who was outside the door, started checking his watch more frequently. Nine minutes had passed, and he was starting to get nervous.
Both sides are gambling.
Zheng Zhiguo bets that Dawei can handle the people above him.
Zhou was betting that Zheng Zhiguo couldn't handle it.
Just then, Zhou's phone rang.
Upon seeing that it was the head of the branch office calling, he immediately answered respectfully.
"Hello, boss... yes... yes... that's right, Zheng Zhiguo from Yuanshan County..."
I understand, I understand.
Good leader.
Zhou hung up the phone, looked at Zheng Zhiguo again, and then gritted his teeth: "Let's call it a day."
The local police officers got into their car and left.
The dozens of villagers gathered outside looked at each other and then fell silent.
They've run out of cards.
Zhou Suodu has left.
Just by looking at the people inside, you can tell they're not to be messed with.
"Close the door," Zheng Zhiguo ordered.
Awen arrived at the large iron gate of the villa courtyard, closed the gate, paused as he was about to close it, and looked at the villagers outside: "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Do you really think no one can control you?
Are we going to have the provincial authorities deploy armed police for counter-terrorism?!
Upon hearing this, several of the more timid individuals immediately ran away.
In such a situation, if even one person from one side runs away, that side will immediately collapse.
The group scattered like birds and beasts.
Young police officer Awen closed the iron gate.
A dozen minutes later.
Zheng Zhiguo's men packed the items they had found into two boxes and placed them in front of Zheng Zhiguo.
Zheng Zhiguo began rummaging through the box, which contained notebooks, scraps of paper, and the like.
I searched everywhere, but found nothing of value.
There wasn't even a trace of the official protection talisman.
Director Zheng grew anxious: "Have you searched every single detail?"
"Yes, it's evidence. We even opened the toilet tank lid to check it, and we cut open the mattress to look at it."
This is truly a thorough search.
Zheng Zhiguo was somewhat confused. Could it be that Zhou Xiangzhang's luck had not yet run out?
Is there still a chance for Lao Zhou's family to turn their lives around?!
At this moment, Ah Kun, who was under the osmanthus tree in the yard, moved his hand, which was a little sore from being handcuffed. The osmanthus branch swayed slightly, and the leaves rustled as they rubbed against each other.
Zheng Zhiguo stood up, turned around, looked at Akun, and seeing that his gaze was somewhat evasive, he immediately walked over.
"What's your relationship with Jiang Xiong?"
"What Jiang Xiong? Who is Jiang Xiong?"
"Not being honest?" Zheng Zhiguo had lost his patience: "Come on, let's use some methods."
