Chapter 357: Chapter 357 Scapegoat
County Magistrate Zhu ushered Chen Dashan and the others to sit down.
Chen Dashan noticed sothing was off with County Magistrate Zhu.
His expression was unnatural, his eyes flickering, like he had sothing to say but couldn’t.
He also looked a bit troubled.
"County Magistrate Zhu, if there’s sothing you need to say, just say it. Between us, there’s no need to beat around the bush."
County Magistrate Zhu forced a smile, "As expected, nothing escapes Brother Dashan’s eyes. I won’t hide it then, Brother Dashan, soone from above is putting pressure on ."
"What do you an?" Chen Dashan frowned slightly.
"Qin Lan and Zhao Qiqiang are being held at our county bureau, right?"
Chen Dashan nodded, those few were indeed being held there.
"These past few days, many people have called , asking
to release the two of them."
Seeing County Magistrate Zhu’s expression, Chen Dashan understood he was also in a difficult position.
Among them, there were no doubt so high-ranking leaders and superiors.
The pressure must be imnse.
"Just today, Zhao Ding ca to my house personally and gave
a bank card with five million in it. He said he would find soone to take the bla. In the anti, I also received a phone call from soone very high up, who threatened ."
County Magistrate Zhu didn’t finish his sentence.
But Chen Dashan could imagine what it was.
In Furong County, County Magistrate Zhu had a high status; no one could threaten him.
But outside Furong County, he was nothing, and there were many who could control him.
"What do you think?"
Chen Dashan looked at County Magistrate Zhu and asked.
He wanted to hear the County Magistrate’s true feelings.
County Magistrate Zhu sighed, "I have no opinion. Given the circumstances, you decide."
"I don’t really care either way, I’m close to retirent. I’m not afraid of their threats!"
County Magistrate Zhu sounded indifferent, but he knew very well inside.
Already having offended Zhao Ding, even if he agreed to Zhao Ding’s request, it would just avoid offending people, getting only five million.
But agreeing directly to Zhao Ding’s demand would an standing against Chen Dashan.
Not to ntion his friendship with Chen Dashan, just the benefits and interests Chen Dashan brought him couldn’t be asured by five million.
Though retirent was not far off, he had a few years left. If his achievents were good enough, further promotion was not impossible.
Today he ca to discuss with Chen Dashan, showing his cleverness.
If Chen Dashan agreed, he could avoid offending both sides.
Before Chen Dashan could speak, Sun Aoxue slapped the table.
"Compromise? Compromise my ass! Impossible! County Magistrate Zhu, tell the Zhao family, don’t even think about it. If he dares to find soone to take the bla, I guarantee each one he finds will fall!"
Sun Aoxue spoke with determination.
County Magistrate Zhu was a bit scared, didn’t speak.
"Chen Dashan, don’t tell
you’re chickening out, don’t let
look down on you!"
Chen Dashan smiled awkwardly, "Brother Zhu, you see, Officer Sun won’t agree, and I just received the Five-Star Good Citizen Award, the Cri Fighter Award. There’s no way I can agree to this. Qin Lan hired a killer, heinous cri, Qiqiang is the sa, and Zhao Ding wants soone to take the bla, a family of villains. I won’t agree to this!"
County Magistrate Zhu’s face showed a trace of disappointnt, but it quickly disappeared.
"Alright, I understand Brother Chen’s stance. I’ll follow through."
"Thank you, Brother Zhu."
County Magistrate Zhu stood up and said, "No problem, I’ll go handle so personal matters. If anything cos up, we’ll contact each other by phone."
After he left, only Chen Dashan and the other two were left in the room.
Sun Aoxue was a bit unhappy, her long legs on the table, fuming, "I didn’t expect such things to happen. Hiring a killer, finding soone to take the bla, treating the law as nothing, simply lawless."
She ca from a high background, her upbringing and education were of high standards.
Plus, given her status, everyone she t treated her with respect.
This was the first ti she encountered such a situation, and she obviously couldn’t stand it.
Director Geng cleared his throat, a bit embarrassed.
"What do we do next?"
Director Geng asked.
"Respond as needed, counter as necessary."
Director Geng looked at Chen Dashan in amazent.
Sun Aoxue was also a bit surprised.
It seed nothing could make Chen Dashan panic. The earlier assassination attempt, along with today’s manipulation behind the scenes.
None of it made him jittery, always so calm and unruffled.
Bang bang!
Loud knocking ca from outside.
"Who is it?"
"Director Geng, it’s , Wu Hongling, is Master inside?"
Wu Hongling’s anxious voice ca from outside.
"What happened, what’s the matter?" Chen Dashan opened the door.
"Bad news, Master, Miss Zhao is missing."
"Hmm? What happened?"
Wu Hongling stomped her feet anxiously.
"Miss Zhao was at the hotel, but half an hour ago when I went to look for her, she was gone. When I checked the surveillance, I found out she was taken away."
"Is the surveillance footage still there?"
Wu Hongling quickly took out her phone, "Yes, I recorded it."
After watching it, Chen Dashan frowned, he knew who took Zhao Leyao.
It was one of the underlings who had been following Zhao Ding today.
It seed Zhao Ding had sent soone to take Zhao Leyao.
"I understand. It’s alright, you all go back first, I’ll handle the rest."
Sun Aoxue stood in front of him, looking at him sincerely, "If you need any help, call . I promise I won’t refuse."
Chen Dashan nodded, thanked her.
"Hongling, co with ."
"Alright!"
Wu Hongling was in the passenger seat, "Master, where are we going?"
"The Zhao family!"
No need to elaborate, Zhao Leyao must have been taken to Zhao’s house. Plus, today Director Zhang ca from Hengshui City personally.
If there was no benefit, would he be so committed?
Surely, they must have made so deal.
The benefit Zhao Ding promised was likely Zhao Leyao.
Chen Dashan sped towards Zhao’s Villa without slowing down.
He understood Zhao Leyao’s feelings well.
His woman, he wouldn’t let anyone else touch, not even Director Zhang!
Not long after, they arrived outside Zhao’s Villa.
Two bodyguards stood outside, loud banging from inside could be heard.
"The master really doesn’t care? No matter what, it’s the young lady in there, his own daughter."
"Say less, the master’s mood has been terrible these days, don’t provoke him."
The other wisely shut his mouth.
"Stay in the car, don’t get out."
Chen Dashan got out of the car with a stern face.
