Zhao Ruihu promised him a six-figure reward once the matter was settled.

He'd do anything for money.

The simple villagers had never seen anything like this before. They whispered among themselves, and no one dared to step forward.

The old Party Secretary, however, showed no fear whatsoever.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The smuggler paused for a moment, then looked at the old Party Secretary and chuckled, "Old man, at your age, why aren't you enjoying your retirement at home? What are you doing running around here? Are you looking for death?"

"Fuck your mother!"

Old men who have fought in wars are all wild and ruthless, not given to many words. They pick up their canes and are ready to fight!

But age catches up with everyone.

The snakehead caught the cane and raised his hand to throw a punch in retaliation.

But the next second, his wrist was grabbed.

It’s Qi Tongwei.

"You dare to hit an old revolutionary? You've got some nerve!"

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei exerted force in his palm again, pulling the snake's head forward, followed by a knee strike to the head.

With a muffled thud, the snake's head was disfigured.

Nosebleeds.

This arrogant and domineering gang leader has never suffered such a loss before.

He raised his head, covering his injured nose, his eyes bloodshot with anger.

"What are you standing there for? Beat them up!"

"Fight to death!"

At his command, the smugglers grabbed steel pipes and were about to attack.

Qi Tongwei and Wang Hua rolled up their sleeves at the same time.

Hou Liangping silently retreated behind the crowd.

"Beep beep beep!!!"

Just then, four police cars arrived at high speed with sirens blaring.

Hou Liangping breathed a sigh of relief.

He returned to the front of the crowd.

"Senior, is this the person you called?"

Qi Tongwei ignored him and instead waved at the police car. Zhao Donglai immediately ran out of the car.

Seeing so many people, he was confused about the situation.

"Brother Qi, what happened?"

"It's nothing, just a bunch of thugs trying to cause trouble."

Zhao Donglai understood immediately.

He turned his head, gripped his baton, walked up to the smuggler, and said sternly, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Even a triad boss panicked when he saw so many police officers; perhaps this is a case of genetic suppression.

After hesitating for a moment, the smuggler slowly spoke, "Officer, I'm here to find someone, is that not allowed?"

"You idiot, you've been watching too many Hong Kong movies, haven't you?" Zhao Donglai narrowed his eyes. "Who are you looking for? Explain yourself!"

"Zhao Ruihu, Boss Zhao."

"What are you looking for him for?"

"Nothing!" The snakehead wiped the blood from his nose. "I heard they were hiring here, so I wanted to bring my brothers for an interview. It's perfectly reasonable and legal."

Zhao Donglai looked around.

Aside from the villagers, it was just a bunch of hooligans.

Looking for a job?

Who are you bluffing?

"Let me tell you, this is Rock City, under my jurisdiction. You'd better not cause trouble."

"Officer, please don't wrongly accuse us." The smuggler spread his hands. "We are all law-abiding citizens, law-abiding citizens looking for work. Why would we cause trouble!"

Just as Zhao Donglai was about to say something more, the paper mill door slowly opened.

Zhao Ruihu was in front, and Pei Jing was behind.

The boss came out, and the smuggler immediately went to greet him, "Boss Zhao, there are so many policemen."

"I'm not blind." Zhao Ruihu's gaze wandered before landing on Zhao Donglai. "Where are you from?"

"Municipal Bureau!"

"What are the municipal police doing in our Jinshan County?"

"I called him here!" Qi Tongwei came out. "Boss Zhao, we meet again."

"Qi Tongwei!" Zhao Ruihu sneered. "You little brat, you're really persistent. What brings you here today?"

"Nothing much! We're just shutting down your paper mill!"

"You think you can just shut it down like that? Who do you think you are? A mere deputy director dares to shut down my factory? Who gave you the guts?"

"The law and the people!"

Qi Tongwei took out the report from the Quality Supervision Bureau and the production stoppage document provided by Li Dakang, and said solemnly, "Boss Zhao, open your eyes and look carefully. Both of these documents are stamped. According to the law, Runtaihua Paper Mill must now suspend production for rectification!"

Zhao Ruihu took the document, squinted, and after looking at it for a while, his face gradually turned pale.

Then he tossed the document to Pei Jing behind him.

"Take a look at these two documents. Is there anything fishy going on?"

Pei Jing also graduated from Handong University, one year younger than Qi Tongwei, so she was considered his junior.

My major is also law and politics.

After receiving the document and flipping through two pages, he nodded.

"No problem, this is an authoritative document!"

Zhao Ruihu was no longer calm.

He picked up his phone and started dialing Li Dakang's number again.

Still no one answered.

After several such incidents, Zhao Ruihu could no longer control his emotions and smashed his phone to pieces with a loud bang.

"That damned Li Dakang, how dare he betray me! I won't let this traitor get away with this!"

"We will definitely not let him get away with this!"

Overwhelmed with anger, Zhao Ruihu's face gradually began to contort.

It took several deep breaths to calm down.

Then, hands on hips, glaring at Qi Tongwei, he said, "Kid, I underestimated you before. Not bad, you managed to persuade Li Dakang to shut down my factory. You've got some skills. But don't get too cocky. Let me tell you clearly, you've messed with the wrong person!"

Qi Tongwei sneered, "Boss Zhao, in broad daylight, do you really think you can cover up the truth with one hand?"

"Hehe, whether they can control everything, we'll wait and see! Also, at most a week, this factory will be back in production, believe it or not?"

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." Qi Tongwei turned to the villagers behind him. "If the paper mill were to resume production, would you agree?"

"No!"

"No!"

"Runtai Paper Mill, get out of Jinshan County!"

"Get out of Jinshan County!"

"..."

Led by the former Party Secretary, the villagers raised their arms and shouted, declaring their stance.

It's just like a revolutionary movement.

This scene also gave Qi Tongwei tremendous courage.

“Boss Zhao, let me remind you, don’t be mischievous, and don’t go against the people! Also, you know what you’ve done! Yan will confess sooner or later! At that time, forget about continuing production, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to leave Jinshan County!”

"Do you threaten me?"

"It's not a threat, just a piece of advice. Why did County Magistrate Fang Jue get food poisoning? Who sent someone to cripple Wu Laosan's leg? I haven't forgotten any of that! You won't be able to gloat for long, so you'd better watch yourself!"

Zhao Ruihu stopped speaking, his eyes flashing with resentment.

The factory was shut down, resulting in a loss of tens of thousands of yuan every day.
