Zhao Qiang said, "An IP address is like a person's name; it's a network identifier. If you don't specify an IP address, the system will automatically obtain one, which takes time. Also, if the broadband modem isn't in DHCP service mode, it won't automatically assign an IP address to the host. That's when the system will finally prompt that the connection is limited. However, this doesn't affect the use of the PPPoE dial-up program. Once the dial-up is successful, the server will assign a new external IP address, so you can access the internet normally. It will just prolong the boot-up and dial-up time."
Su Xiaosu asked, "If you set the IP address just now, will it boot up faster from now on?"
Zhao Qiang said, "I also need to go into the BIOS to disable the onboard network card's boot module. Otherwise, it will still take time to search for the network boot file every time I turn on the computer. It will only enter the operating system after the network boot fails. That's why you have to wait so long when the screen is black and white. It won't happen after I disable it."
Su Xiaosu was very inquisitive: "How do I turn it off? What is BIOS?"
She was even fairer-skinned than Zhao Qiang was when he first encountered computers. After restarting the computer, Zhao Qiang pressed the DEL key a few times to enter the blue-on-white BIOS settings, pointed at the screen and said to Su Xiaosu, "This is it."
Zhao Qiang used the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard to first enter 'Integrated Peripherals', then entered the second-level directory 'Onboard Device', found that the Realtek LanBootRom setting was 'Enabled', moved the cursor to this setting and pressed Enter. Then he used the up and down arrow keys to select another setting 'Disabled', and then pressed F10 to save and exit. The computer restarted.
Su Xiaosu stared at the screen. This time, there weren't as many English letters appearing. After the system self-check, it went directly to the XP boot icon, which was much faster. Su Xiaosu was very happy: "It's done! Zhao Qiang, you're awesome! Finally, I don't have to endure such a long boot time anymore."
This wasn't really a technical skill at all, but to a novice like Su Xiaosu, it seemed like profound knowledge. Zhao Qiang smiled helplessly; initially, he had the same mindset as Su Xiaosu. Seeing Su Xiaosu's happy expression, Zhao Qiang felt a warmth in his heart. The disappointment Su Su had caused him was now being redeemed in Su Xiaosu. The Su Xiaosu before him was practically a carbon copy of the Su Su from three years ago, and compared to the Su Su from three years ago, Su Xiaosu possessed even more charm.

Volume 2 [138] The Bald Man Appears
Bang! Someone suddenly pushed open the door to the sales area, and five or six young men rushed in. The leader was a bald man in his thirties, with a fierce and menacing appearance. He entered with a hostile attitude, slamming open the counter door and walking into the work area. Without any hesitation, he poked Su's father on the forehead, causing him to stumble backward. If it weren't for the medicine cabinet behind him, he would have fallen. The elderly man in his forties or fifties was bullied without any dignity, and he didn't even dare to put up a fight! Su's mother clung tightly to her husband, her face filled with terror, not daring to utter a single word. It seemed that they were all very familiar with this bald man.
"Old man Su, tomorrow is the deadline. If you don't move out by then, don't blame me for being impolite." The bald man spat as he spoke, and Su's father was splattered in the face, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.
Su's father swallowed hard before saying in a hesitant voice, "Second Brother Gan, please spare us. I went to the health bureau and asked. If we change the pharmacy's address, we need to re-certify, which is too troublesome and difficult to get approved. You're just running a mobile phone shop, and my place isn't very big. Please let us continue operating here, okay? I beg you, I beg you..."
Su's father kept bowing, and Su's mother chimed in, "Brother Gan is a magnanimous man, please don't make things difficult for our small family." The fact that two elderly people addressed a young man as "Second Brother" was extremely uncomfortable to hear; had society's rules been turned upside down?
The bald man, known as Brother Gan, was completely unmoved. He immediately launched into a tirade: "Fuck your mother! I don't care if it's troublesome or not! My woman has her eye on this shop. You'll have to move it whether you like it or not! Brothers, help him out, move as much as you can, so he won't be busy tomorrow. I've got a runny nose these past few days, so grab some good medicine." With that, the bald man rubbed his nose, smeared some snot on the counter, and then burst into laughter, his arrogance reaching its peak! If you hadn't witnessed it with your own eyes, no one would believe such a thing still exists in today's society!
Several young men immediately rushed over the counter, smashing several pieces of glass. They then picked up several empty boxes from the floor and began shoving medicine inside. One of them was even more ruthless, unplugging the power cord of the card reader computer and dismantling the entire computer. Gan Erge chuckled coldly, "That's right, take the computer away. Let's see how he continues to operate! Damn it, this is what happens when you don't obey! If you don't move it by tomorrow, we'll smash everything inside!"
In the small bedroom, Su Xiaosu was about to rush out when Zhao Qiang grabbed her. Su Xiaosu growled, "Let go of me! We can't let them move the computer! We can't let them do this!"
Zhao Qiang had already figured it out; Su Xiaosu would only cause more trouble if she went out. But seeing that she looked almost exactly like Su Su from three years ago, Zhao Qiang couldn't bear to see her being bullied by Baldy and his gang.
Zhao Qiang said in a low voice, "Can you beat them?"
Su Xiaosu was stunned. What was she going to do? She had even dealt with the weakest of those people. Su Xiaosu took out her phone and said, "Then I'll call the police!"
Zhao Qiang shook his head. "These people dare to be so blatant. Haven't you considered that they might not be afraid of the police?"
Su Xiaosu was taken aback again: "Yes, when have the Four Tigers of Hedian ever been afraid of the police? It should be the police who are afraid of them."
This time, it was Zhao Qiang's turn to be surprised: "The Four Tigers of Hedian? You mean those people outside are the Four Tigers of Hedian?"
Su Xiaosu said, "Yes, it's Erhu Gan Beiwei. A few days ago, his mistress took a fancy to our shop's location and said she wanted to open a mobile phone shop here. Gan Beiwei wanted us to move, but the health bureau has regulations that approved pharmacies cannot change their business address at will. Besides, my family's business here is doing well, and moving to another place will definitely affect the business, so my dad didn't agree. I didn't expect them to dare to do such a thing in broad daylight. I'm going to go out and fight them to the death!"
Zhao Qiang sneered, "Since they are the Four Tigers of Hedian, you don't need to worry about them. Let them move first, and I'll help you get them back later. If you cause a scene in the store, you'll be the ones who suffer no matter how you look at it, it's not worth it." Zhao Qiang had his own plans; he would also help Su Xiaosu resolve the problem.
Seeing her parents arguing with those people outside, Su Xiaosu said anxiously, "How can this be? Letting them take away the medicine and the main unit will cause our family huge losses! Let me go!"
Zhao Qiang said, "Will going out change things? Or will it only make things worse? What can a woman do?"
Su Xiaosu was held tightly by Zhao Qiang. She heard her parents pleading outside, while Gan Beiwei shouted angrily. Su Xiaosu felt as if her heart was bleeding. She bit her lip and said to Zhao Qiang, "You are a coward!"
Zhao Qiang gave a bitter smile and released Su Xiaosu. Su Xiaosu ran out of the small bedroom, but before she could do anything, her mother hugged her tightly. Gan Beiwei was a big shot; he could walk sideways in Hedian District and no one dared to say no. If he suddenly became interested in their daughter, the two old people would rather die than let anything happen to Su Xiaosu. So they would rather lose the pharmacy than let anything happen to Su Xiaosu. Su Xiaosu couldn't even open her mouth to curse. Her mother covered her mouth, tears streaming down her old face.
Gan Beiwei carried a large box, and his other underlings also carried some things. The group opened the glass door and left, leaving the three members of the Su family to weep bitterly in the pharmacy.
Zhao Qiang silently took a wooden stick from the small bedroom, probably for Su Xiaosu to use for self-defense while sleeping there that night. He stuffed it into his winter coat and then quietly followed her out through the glass door. Snowflakes were falling again outside. This winter was a bit cold, but Zhao Qiang's heart was burning with passion. However, his face only showed a coldness, colder than the weather outside!
The Four Tigers of Hedian, and he's bald, so he must be one of the murderers who broke Grandpa's leg. Even if he didn't do anything to the Su family, Zhao Qiang wouldn't let them go today. His mind was filled with his father's words from last night—his father being forced to the ground and begging them, but these beasts showed no mercy and broke Grandpa's leg! The reason he didn't act in the pharmacy was to avoid bringing trouble to the Su family. With Zhao Qiang's current abilities, he couldn't protect the pharmacy at all; he could only try to keep the pharmacy away from this matter.
The group drove two Jetta cars. Zhao Qiang took a taxi and followed them from a distance. When they arrived at the commercial street in front of the city government, the Jetta cars stopped. Zhao Qiang watched as Gan Beiwei led his underlings into a billiard hall called Royal Dynasty. He got out of his car and followed them.
People involved in organized crime usually frequent entertainment venues. Besides the fact that running entertainment venues can bring them a lot of money, these people spend their days eating, drinking, and having fun. They go wherever the most lively place is, and entertainment venues are perfect for them. Zhao Qiang pulled the hood of his winter coat over his head, then opened the door of the billiard hall and walked in calmly.
A wave of heat, carrying a strong smell of tobacco, hit the air. The billiard hall was bustling with activity; about twenty people were playing billiards at five tables, indicating good business. Gan Beiwei and a few of his henchmen were smugly distributing drugs to the crowd. Gan Beiwei said, "Everyone go first thing tomorrow morning and rob his pharmacy of everything. I don't believe he'll stay there if he can't sell drugs. Damn it, he was so ungrateful before; this time we'll completely humiliate him."
Someone reminded Gan Beiwei: "Second Master, didn't our eldest brother ask us to go to Shantou Village again tomorrow? It's said that the villagers there are unwilling to relocate, so we need to give them a hard time. If the houses aren't demolished before the New Year, it will affect the construction work after the New Year, and our eldest brother won't be able to explain it to Zhang Guidong."
Gan Beiwei said, "With the eldest, third, and fourth brothers leading the team, that's enough. I have to help Xiao Le get rid of the pharmacy first, otherwise we won't be able to seize the opportunity of Spring Festival sales, and the mobile phone store will earn a lot less money." The younger brother dared not say anything more.
When Zhao Qiang entered, no one paid him any attention; they probably all assumed he was just a visitor. Zhao Qiang silently approached Gan Beiwei from behind, his face showing no fear. At this moment, his entire brain was under the control of the super biochip. Zhao Qiang had only one goal: to kill the bald man and avenge his grandfather! As for the law and consequences, Zhao Qiang didn't care at all! His super biochip didn't have that setting.
Volume 2 [139] Ruthless Enough!
Zhao Qiang pulled a stick from his winter coat and suddenly lashed it out at Gan Beiwei's thigh! The thick end of the stick was about the size of an adult's fist, and Zhao Qiang was very strong. He swung it with a whooshing sound, and crack, it hit Gan Beiwei's thigh bone.
Gan Beiwei never expected anyone to dare to mess with him in his own base. The blow was both fierce and accurate. Crack! His leg bone broke instantly, and the bone fragments pierced through his muscles and trousers. Gan Beiwei was knocked unconscious by the blow, while his underlings were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Zhao Qiang, having landed a successful blow, didn't flee. Breaking only one of Gan Beiwei's legs would be too lenient. Zhao Qiang raised his stick again and brought it down with a whoosh. Bang! Gan Beiwei's other thigh was also struck. The excruciating pain jolted Gan Beiwei back from his unconsciousness. Actually, the second blow was lighter because Gan Beiwei was lying on the ground, making the angle of attack less favorable. However, the second blow still broke a leg bone. Gan Beiwei, supporting his leg with one hand, roared hoarsely, "Kill him! Kill him for me!"
The group of henchmen finally realized that their territory had been taken over and their boss had been crippled! So those holding pool cues rushed forward, while those without weapons grabbed hard-core pool balls from the table and hurled them at Zhao Qiang.
Zhao Qiang dodged left and right, his left hand holding a monstrous screwdriver that had transformed into a small hand shield. Whenever a billiard ball came at him, he would use it to block it. It could even block the cue stick, making it the best self-defense device. However, considering the strength of the shield, Zhao Qiang dared not make its defensive area too large. Nevertheless, with the super biochip controlling Zhao Qiang's movements, the shield, though small, could accurately intercept attacks every time.
While maintaining a full defensive posture, Zhao Qiang's right hand, wielding a wooden stick, constantly sought opportunities to strike. Bang! A cue attacker was struck in the neck, his head lolling to the side as he collapsed unconscious. Zhao Qiang then swung his stick back, hitting a guy who had just raised a shot put to smash him. The guy's wrist went limp like a snapped noodle, and the billiard ball clattered to the ground. Suddenly, a fierce-looking young man grabbed Zhao Qiang from behind, yelling, "I've got him! Everyone, attack!"
Zhao Qiang swung his wooden stick back from the man's shoulder, hitting him squarely on the forehead. The man coughed up blood, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, his head covered in blood. Even if he didn't die, he'd probably be in a vegetative state. Zhao Qiang's ruthless fighting style terrified these seasoned veterans. He attacked without considering the consequences, and his moves were both accurate and vicious. Once he targeted someone, there was no escape. Yet, his speed was so incredible that the combined attacks from the group failed to harm him even once!
The battle continued. Gan Beiwei lay on the ground, shouting orders, "Quick, quick, all of you attack! If you don't kill him today, you're all dead! I want revenge! I want revenge!" Gan Beiwei was acting like a madman. He had only ever broken other people's legs before; he never imagined that one day he would have both of his legs broken in succession!
Everyone in the hall sprang into action, and even some from the private rooms rushed out to join the fight. Gan Beiwei was a very influential figure in the Hedian District, and even those who weren't his underlings wanted to show off. However, they had miscalculated. Every strike Zhao Qiang delivered hit someone. In this dangerous situation, he had no scruples whatsoever, aiming every blow at vital points. Half of his underlings were knocked unconscious by the wooden club, their lives hanging in the balance, some bleeding from their mouths and noses. Yet, Zhao Qiang showed no mercy, as if he were beating up stray cats and dogs. He didn't care about the consequences at all! He wanted revenge for his grandfather, Zhao Tiancheng!
The killer moves terrified the group of young billiards players. Their initial ferocity quickly subsided, and someone finally took the lead in throwing down their weapons and running away. No one paid any more attention to Gan Beiwei lying on the ground. They threw down their billiard cues and ran out the back door. Those who couldn't escape were incapacitated. Two of the guys with dyed yellow hair were hit on the head and collapsed to the ground vomiting, their eyes rolling back. They were probably in a similar situation to the one who had hugged Zhao Qiang's lower back earlier. They would be in a vegetative state for the rest of their lives.
Gan Beiwei had never seen anyone so ruthless, killing so many people so brutally in one go. Even he couldn't do that. A chill ran through Gan Beiwei's heart, as if today was his last day.
The Royal Billiards Hall was his stronghold. Everyone thought no one would be foolish enough to cause trouble here, so none of the players brought knives or other weapons. In fact, even if they did, Gan Beiwei knew he was no match for this man. He was too agile and always anticipated his opponent's moves. Often, his men would be stopped as soon as they made a move, and then knocked down with a single blow, without any hesitation.
The flies had all flown away. Zhao Qiang stood coldly beside Gan Beiwei, one foot planted on Gan Beiwei's right arm, his voice devoid of any emotion as he said, "You broke an old man's leg in Shantou Village?"
Gan Beiwei, confused, said, "What? I'm Song Shiguo's man. You'd better be smart..."
Zhao Qiang didn't waste any words. He stomped his foot hard, and Gan Beiwei screamed as his right arm broke. Zhao Qiang said coldly, "I am that old man's grandson. Today I'm here to tell you what you brought to that old man, and I will repay you tenfold!"
Gan Beiwei was covered in sweat, his face contorted in pain. Only now did he understand the other party's purpose: not to provoke him, but to seek revenge. Gan Beiwei still refused to admit defeat and said, "Kid, you're ruthless. But let me tell you, my elder brother will never forgive you for what you've done to me! You'll die without a trace."
Zhao Qiang suddenly jumped up and stomped on Gan Beiwei's left arm, breaking it again. Now Gan Beiwei's limbs were all crippled. Even if they could be reattached, he would be far less agile in a fight than before. His reputation as one of the Four Tigers of Hedian would probably be ruined. The pain all over his body made Gan Beiwei wish he were dead.
Zhao Qiang didn't want to kill the bald man, because death would be a relief for him. Living would only bring more suffering, just like Qian Gang. Zhao Qiang said to Gan Beiwei, "Tell the other three tigers and Song Shiguo that I will go to find them. They will have to pay the same price as you. Get ready and wait for my arrival."
After saying that, Zhao Qiang shoveled the medicine on the ground into a large box, picked up the box with one hand and the host with the other, opened the door of the billiard hall and left. Behind him, there was a chorus of groans. Finally, someone got up from the ground and called for an ambulance. It was unknown how many of these people would regain consciousness. The losses were considerable.
Zhao Qiang hailed another taxi, threw the main unit and box into the trunk, and just then his phone rang. Seeing it was his home number, he answered immediately. His mother, Liu Huilan, anxiously called out, "Xiaoqiang, your father and the villagers are carrying your grandfather to the town to petition. I can't stop them. Come back and check on them right away!"
Zhao Qiang was taken aback: "Why is my dad so impulsive? I told him yesterday that the town can't do anything about this."
Liu Huilan cried, "I don't know either. The two of them have been incited by the villagers and they're acting like madmen. Please come back quickly."
Zhao Qiang took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and threw it to the driver, saying, "Take these things to Heqing Pharmacy. I've noted down your license plate number." After saying that, Zhao Qiang got out of the car and then hailed another taxi, heading straight for Zaolin Town.
No sooner had Zhao Qiang left the Royal Dynasty Billiards Hall than a furtive-looking girl appeared at the door. It was Su Xiaosu, who had followed him. Seeing Zhao Qiang sneak out with a wooden stick from her house, the curious Su Xiaosu, like a police officer, began to follow him. When she saw that Zhao Qiang had indeed safely carried the stolen medicine and computer from her house out of the Royal Dynasty Billiards Hall, she curiously opened the door and peered inside. When she saw the bloodstains on the floor, she turned pale with fright, immediately closed the door, and ran to a corner to vomit. After a long while, she staggered away, muttering, "So cruel, so cruel! How could he do such a thing? He's not human!"
Volume 2 [140] Demanding an Explanation
Zhao Weidong was actually a timid and honest farmer, but his father, Zhao Tiancheng, had a fiery temper. Even though he was over seventy years old, he was still stubborn. He was already full of anger, and when he learned that he could only get seven thousand yuan in demolition compensation for his three and a half houses, and that his farmland had been almost expropriated without compensation and his leg had been broken, the old man almost fainted. When the villagers came to his house to urge him on in the morning, Zhao Tiancheng slammed his fist on the table.
"Come on, Weidong, get in the handcart and take me to the town government. We need to get an explanation!"
One villager said, "That's right, Uncle Zhao is a real man. Let's let the town mayor and the secretary take a look at Uncle Zhao's legs. They're all beasts. They can even be so cruel to an old man in his seventies or eighties. Is there no law anymore?"
Zhao Weidong comforted his father, saying, "Dad, I heard from Xiaoqiang that this matter is being manipulated behind the scenes by the district party secretary's nephew. Why should we fight against him? As the saying goes, officials don't fight against the people. Let it go. Xiaoqiang has made some money. Let's tear down my house and rebuild it. You can come and live with us."
Zhao Tiancheng was unable to move from the bed, otherwise he would have jumped up and slapped his son. Even so, he struggled to sit up and pointed at his son, cursing, "You coward! Your grandson is bullied everywhere because he inherited your temper. I heard that his repair shop was vandalized. This is the result of your teaching him to be tolerant from a young age!"
The villagers also criticized Zhao Weidong: "Weidong, you're such a coward. We have the evidence and we're in the right. If we go to the town government, the mayor and the secretary will have to side with us. Are you a spineless coward because you're impotent?"
"Zhao Weidong, you're no man! You're just a coward! Your own father had his leg broken, and you're just going to let it go? You have to go to town and demand an explanation! If you do nothing, you're an unfilial son!"
Every man has a sense of justice. Zhao Weidong felt extremely ashamed by what everyone said. If he didn't do something, he would have to live with his head in the sand for the rest of his life. Zhao Weidong slapped his thigh and stood up from the ground: "Let's go! Let's get justice! I refuse to believe that there is no justice in this world."
Liu Huilan stopped Zhao Weidong: "Weidong, you can't be impulsive. Those people are inhuman and will cause a big problem. We don't need any compensation, we just want our family to be safe and sound. Don't go, don't go..."
Old Master Zhao Tiancheng roared, "What are you doing getting involved, you woman? Wei Dong, let's go! Everyone, grab your weapons! If the town government doesn't do anything, we'll tear down their building!"
Zhao Weidong's blood boiled with emotion. He pushed his wife away, then carried the old man on his back. Someone had already driven a hand tractor to the door, so a large cotton quilt was spread in the tractor's trailer. The old man, head held high and chest out, braved the wind and snow and followed the crowd to the Zaolin Town Government.
The courtyard of the Zaolin Town government was desolate. Apart from the occasional person coming to handle official business, there was no one else to be seen. Town Mayor Yu Wanyang went to the district government early this morning for a meeting, which seemed to be to arrange security issues during the New Year's Day holiday. Town Party Secretary Qiu Haifeng sat in his office smoking and drinking tea. He looked at the time and realized it was almost 11 o'clock. It was time to find a place to eat.
Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the window. Accompanied by the sound of a hand tractor engine, a group of farmers rushed in despite the guards' attempts to stop them. Qiu Haifeng observed from behind the curtains for a while, then frowned. Before long, his secretary came in to report to him.
“Secretary Qiu, we are villagers from Shantou Village. We have come to report the issues of the chemical plant occupying land for road construction and the demolition of guesthouses and residential buildings.”
Qiu Haifeng rubbed his forehead. This was really troublesome. The chemical plant was arranged by Zhang Zhiqiao, the district party secretary, who instructed him to cooperate fully. However, Zhang Guidong and Song Shiguo had been exploiting the farmers at every level, leaving them with very little compensation. Then the village committee took some of their share. It would be strange if the farmers didn't have any complaints.
Qiu Haifeng said, "Go tell them that the town mayor has gone to a meeting in the district. We'll discuss and handle it when he gets back. Tell the driver to drive the car to the back door. I'm going to Little Swan Restaurant for dinner in a bit. If anyone asks, just say that I also went to a meeting in the district."
Soon, the town government sent an office director to deal with the situation. The weather outside was even colder, and the snowflakes were falling more heavily. The office director stood in front of the building and shouted loudly, "Fellow farmers, listen to me! The town mayor is not home; he went to a meeting in the district. Secretary Qiu has also gone to the countryside to work. It's so cold; everyone should go home. We already know what you want to report. The town government will study the matter and then the village committee will notify everyone of the new results!"
A young villager spat at the office director, shouting, "Get out! We won't leave until the mayor and secretary come out today. Two thousand yuan a month for each room? You're kidding me! You must have pocketed all the compensation money. We oppose the demolition! We won't allow a heavily polluting chemical plant to be built next to the village! Get out! Let the chemical plant get out!"
At this moment, the town police station, which had received the call, dispatched officers to the scene. More than a dozen fully armed police officers blocked the villagers in front of the building, preventing them from getting any closer. The two sides were deadlocked when someone pushed out Mr. Zhao Tiancheng.
"We want to ask the police station's lackeys: this old man was just unhappy about the road construction taking up land, but a group of people broke his leg. Didn't you do anything about it?"
Police station chief Wu Chi was both ashamed and angry. He knew that the police officers were called dogs by the farmers behind their backs, but this was the first time he had been called that to their faces. However, there were quite a few farmers now, so he dared not stir up trouble and could only swallow his anger for the time being.
Wu Chi tried to put on a kind expression: "Grandpa, if you have any grievances, you can go to the police station to report them when the weather gets better. It's not right for you to come out and cause trouble with everyone like this. You're so old, it wouldn't be good if you caught a cold. Go home quickly."
Zhao Tiancheng roared, "I won't go back! My leg was broken by the Four Tigers of Hedian District. I'm reporting this to your station chief right now, so you'd better go and arrest them!"
Wu Chi's face turned pale and then red. The Four Tigers of Hedian District were people he couldn't afford to offend. Let alone arresting them, he had to help suppress the matter even if he didn't want to!
"Sir, do you have any witnesses? If this is a false accusation, you will be imprisoned!"
“We can all testify,” several villagers chimed in. “Get the town mayor and the party secretary out here right now. Don’t try to get away with this until you give us an explanation!”
Wu Chi said, "Sir, if you really want to report the situation, then go home now, prepare the materials, and submit them to the police station. We will naturally give you a reply after verification. But if you continue to cause trouble at the government office, we will have to arrest you for disturbing public order."
Several villagers, enraged, charged forward recklessly. The police could no longer hold them back, and the villagers, carrying shovels, smashed the glass doors of the government building with a crash. "The government is in cahoots with the thugs! Let's tear down their building!"
Just then, Qiu Haifeng, in his private car, circled around from the back to the front and saw this scene. He was furious, but worried that the villagers, who were blinded by rage, would also beat him up. So he took out his phone and called Zhang Guidong. It was not appropriate for the town to intervene and drive away the villagers, but it would be much better if Zhang Guidong took the lead. Besides, the matter was started by him, so it was best for him to handle it. If anything went wrong, his uncle, Secretary Zhang, would take the blame.
Although Wu Chi had a gun at his waist, he dared not take it out in this situation. If the villagers took it away or the gun went off and hit someone, Wu Chi's career would be over.
