The sun gradually set, and at this mont within the county city, the streets and alleys were abuzz with talks about what had happened in the afternoon.
"This new county magistrate has such a presence, dare to directly confront Huo Ben and still left unscathed. This ti he really disgraced himself!"
"County Magistrate Luan just jumped off a building, forced to commit suicide, and he dares to do this, really doesn’t seem to fear Huo Ben. Isn’t this courting death? I’m afraid that early tomorrow morning, it will be another jump.
"This newly appointed county magistrate is really unusual, parading the captured around town, yet the dia hasn’t reported a single word. I’ve heard that his connections go straight to the Provincial City; this ti Huo Ben is in real trouble. Maybe he’s the one who will jump off a building."
"That’s not for sure. Huo Ben is petty, definitely soone who repays grudges, how could he possibly ignore this? But I heard that County Magistrate Lin told Huo Ben to his face that he’ll handle what others won’t, and deal with whom others won’t. Clearly, he intends to make an example of him."
"Red Flag County is about to be chaotic. I was just saying County Magistrate Luan just committed suicide, how co a deputy was sent over so quickly; turns out there’s sothing going on here. Looks like the upper levels want to deal with Huo Ben, even County Magistrate Zhao might be involved."
During n’s leisure ti, naturally cos national affairs, ho and country. Lin Fan’s uproar in the afternoon surely beca the topic of heated street discussions. Everyone was speculating about what kind of confrontation would erupt between him and Huo Ben. anwhile, as one of the protagonists, Huo Ben was driving straight toward Zhao Chuanchun’s house in the county town.
It was a luxurious villa located on the south side of the county town, lavishly decorated, beautifully carved and painted, a place many dreamt of. But here it served only as his temporary resting place. Of course, he would usually entertain so guests or hold so private etings here.
As the car stopped, Huo Ben quickly pushed the car door open and walked inside the large villa. At this mont, Zhao Chuanchun was seated in the living room, surrounded by a few of his trusted aides who were reporting recent developnts one by one.
"Godfather!"
Huo Ben stood grim-faced in front of Zhao Chuanchun, but he didn’t respond, continuing to listen to the group’s report. After over an hour, when everyone finished reporting, he gave a few additional instructions, finally looking at the silent Huo Ben standing there.
"Why the anger, what’s happened?"
"Godfather... that Lin kid is getting cocky, directly dragging people to Shengwei Group, throwing them down in front of everyone. He even scolded saying he’ll handle what others won’t, and deal with whom others won’t... this is clearly declaring war on ."
Huo Ben was already sensing Zhao Chuanchun’s odd attitude, having kept him waiting for an hour, yet still couldn’t help but complain.
"Then you ca over to tell this for what purpose?"
Zhao Chuanchun lit a cigar, exhaled the smoke, and asked.
"Godfather... this guy harbors sinister intentions. Just moved into the County Governnt, causing such a big problem, targeting directly. It’s plainly a provocation to you. If this continues, where would your prestige in Red Flag County be... Should I arrange for soone to take him out!"
Huo Ben’s eyes were filled with bloodshot; in the six years since he rose to the top, everyone he t had to bow down, and now Lin Fan dared to confront him, humiliating him for the second ti. He truly couldn’t tolerate it.
"I heard about the afternoon incident too, it was that man leading a group of ghost fire youths making troubles outside the female high school, so Lin Fan disciplined them harshly. So, tell the truth, was it you who sent that boy over for trouble?"
Zhao Chuanchun squinted his eyes, staring directly at Huo Ben, who froze upon hearing this, then clenched his fists. "It wasn’t ... it was... Black King Kong... acting on his own. Recently the trend from female high blew towards Fireworks Alley, reportedly those girls were moved and wanted to return to school, highly impacting our business... thus they gave a small punishnt to female high."
"Well, there you have it. People are free; they want to sell, they sell. They want to return to study, they return. I’ve always taught you a principle, we don’t encourage but also don’t reject. We can’t stop others because we’re losing people; otherwise, it’s forcing the virtuous into prostitution, which damages morality."
Zhao Chuanchun looked sternly at Huo Ben saying, "I’m attending the female high’s opening ceremony the day after tomorrow, when you’re doing this, how could you not think about my reputation!"
"Godfather, I did not initiate it, it was Black King Kong secretly doing it behind my back, I wasn’t aware!"
Huo Ben hastily defended, but was interrupted by Zhao Chuanchun waving his hand: "You say now, Lin Fan storming your company is slapping my face, but I wasn’t aware of this matter. What your subordinates do, you weren’t aware but got implicated, what should you do!"
"I... I’ll definitely go back and give him a severe lesson!"
Originally coming to file a complaint, Huo Ben suddenly realized he seed to have shot himself in the foot, making his expression increasingly more awkward.
"You, well, too young, too many things, unable to handle people... Here’s the deal, hand over the managent rights of nightclubs and entertainnt venues to Sister Hong, she’s ticulous and can help you share the burden. This way you can focus on managing other matters!"
Zhao Chuanchun’s words instantly stunned Huo Ben, trying to lodge a complaint ended up having a slice of his domain cut off.
