Chapter 1183: Uproar within the County

Afternoon.

Zhen Shui County.

“Eh, I think something major happened within the County.”

“I heard about it too. What happened?”

“I don’t know. But Secretary Meng is furious.”

“Yes. A few police cars were dispatched, and Chief Chu had gone out too.”

“Shhh…. Lower your voice. I heard Mayor Jiang and Mayor Dong’s cars were surrounded.”

“What? How can this happen? Who dares to surround Mayor Jiang’s car? What do they want?”

“I think they are trying to extort money, but I feel there’s more to it.”

“No wonder the County Leaders are furious. Where are they surrounded, and what’s the situation now?”

“I heard this from a friend from the Police. The situation is not good. Almost twenty villagers had surrounded Mayor Jiang and the rest with weapons.”

“Ah, this is not good.”

“If the villagers start to attack Mayor Jiang and Mayor Dong… and smash their cars….”

“Someone should have planned this. Who would dare to surround a County Mayor’s car?

Within minutes, many Zhen Shui County government staff heard about this. They were furious. Too many things happened in the past two days. First, Mayor Dong had gotten 50 million RMB from the Central Government, and everyone was excited. But the 50 million RMB turned out to be 5 million RMB, and everyone was frustrated. After that, Mayor Dong was pushed off a building and almost died while trying to get back the money from the City. He got back the money with one million RMB extra from the City. He and Mayor Jiang were surrounded by villagers now.

Ups and downs….

Many staff could not take it.

But intelligent people know this incident is caused by money. The leaders who went to the City to get back the money were surrounded. This is a challenge to Zhen Shui County and is a warning to them. The fund had united the Meng and Jiang fractions. Everyone was furious when they heard something happen to Mayor Jiang and Mayor Dong. This incident is no longer about Mayor Jiang and Mayor Dong. The City had robbed their funds, almost killed their Executive Deputy Mayor, and now surrounded them.

This is too much.

The City is unreasonable!

Yao Cui got anxious when she heard it. She immediately called Dong Xuebing, but no one answered. She called Yan Yizhi instead.

“Secretary Yao.”

“How is everyone, Chief Yan?”

“We are in the car, surrounded by villagers.”

Bam! Bam! Bam! Yao Cui could hear the villagers hitting the car.

Yao Cui said. “Secretary Meng is on the way with our people. Hang on!”

“Ok. I will hang up first.” Yan Yizhi hung up the call.

Yao Cui thought for a while and rushed to the County Government to borrow a car. She is going too.

County Public Security Bureau.

County Party Secretary’s car sped into the compound.

“Secretary Meng.” Political and Legal Committee secretary Chu Peng walked over.

Meng Rui waved to him. “Get in. Is everything ready?”

“Yes.” Chu Peng knew this was an emergency and signaled to the police officers before getting into the car.

The car drove out of the Public Security Bureau.

Four police cars followed. All the police officers looked severe as they heard what had happened.

“Secretary Meng, I will contact the local Public Security Bureau.”

“Contact them? We are faster if we go there ourselves.”

The neighboring county and Zhen Shui County were not on good terms. But no matter how bad their relationship was, they should not allow such an incident. Villagers in your territory surrounded Mayor Jiang, and she was in danger, but they were not answering any calls. They purposely did this and wanted to use this incident to suck up to someone from the City. Maybe those villagers were arranged by them to make things difficult for Zhen Shui County.

Mei He City.

Inside a house courtyard.

Wei Lin crossed his legs and drank tea under a grapevine stand. He kept looking toward the west, waiting for a call.

Ring… ring… ring…. His phone rang.

Wei Lin looked at the number and answered. “Hello, Xiao Li?”

Xiao Li asked. “Chief Wei, the higher-ups asked me to check with you. Who are in that group of people?”

Wei Lin replied. “Didn’t I tell you? It’s only Dong Xuebing and a few Zhen Shui County staff.”

Xiao Li hesitated. “Are you sure Mayor Jiang is not with them? Her meeting had ended, and she should be returning now.”

Wei Lin interrupted. “Yes. It’s only Dong Xuebing and a few of his staff. Why do you ask?”

“Our County received a few calls. One was Mayor Jiang’s mobile number, and Zhen Shui County seemed to be in uproar. I heard even Secretary Meng was alarmed.”

Wei Lin frowned. “Maybe they had called Mayor Jiang for help, and that’s why she called. Don’t worry. I will not get you all in trouble. It’s just a small favor for me.”

Xiao Li knows Wei Lin is close to his leaders and did not say anything.

“Oh….” Wei Lin asked. “How is the situation there? Did they use that road?”

“I think so. I had instructed my men, but I am unsure about the situation now.”

Wei Lin nodded. “Thank your leader for me. Just make things difficult for them, and don’t go overboard.” He only wanted to make life difficult for Dong Xuebing as revenge, and he felt this incident would not cause any harm if it were not blown out of proportion.

“Ok. I will inform the leaders.”

“Ok. Call me when you receive any news.”

“All right. I am hanging up.”

Xiao Li thought to himself. We also know we must not go overboard. Even if Mayor Jiang is not with them, an Executive Deputy County Mayor will cause trouble. They can only pretend not to know about this incident. They did Wei Lin this favor because his leaders are close with him, and their County is not on good terms with Zhen Shui County. Or else they would not help.
