A miner raised his glass and laughed as he spoke to Zhang Dong.

"Boss, that bastard Wang Jianguo had already spread rumors that he was determined to develop those small mines. I wonder how furious he is now."

The other miners couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard about it.

"Yeah, haha, this old guy is used to being domineering. Now that he's suffered such a big setback, I want to see what his expression is like."

When the miners mentioned him, Zhang Dong's heart skipped a beat.

As a reborn person, he knew that Wang Jianguo was no good.

Now that he's suffered a loss and been humiliated, will this guy take action against County Chief Du?

Although Du Chunlei is the deputy county head, he is, after all, an official parachuted in from another region.

A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake.

In my memory, there was indeed a deputy county-level leader who came here, but not long after, he was transferred to another place because of some incident.

Could it be this County Chief Du?

Although I didn't have any involvement in the plot of my past life, since I was just a working person back then, constantly running around.

Considering Wang Jianguo's consistent style, Zhang Dong was still shocked.

I had reached an agreement with County Chief Du on the mining rights, and I was so happy that I didn't think about the follow-up.

How could that old bastard Wang Jianguo suffer such a huge loss?

During this period, due to several life-or-death struggles with the other party, even if he hates him to death, he probably wouldn't dare to make a move against him rashly.

However, it's not necessarily the case for County Chief Du, an outsider.

Knowing this old man's nature, he's capable of anything.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dong could no longer drink the celebratory wine.

To put it bluntly, County Chief Du is now his benefactor, and no matter what means he uses, it's not excessive; he must protect him.

If County Chief Du, who has just arrived here, is driven away by Wang Jianguo using despicable means, then the mining development rights that Wang Jianguo and County Chief Du have agreed upon will completely fall through.

Having grasped this complex situation, Zhang Dong's forehead was covered in a thick layer of cold sweat.

He quickly put down his wine glass and said to the miners who were drinking heartily, "You can drink as much as you want, but don't let it affect your work the next day. I have some business to attend to in the county town."

When Zhang Dong heard that he was going to the county town, his classmates and two uncles were all surprised.

Classmate Li Cheng looked puzzled: "Zhang Dong, you just came back from the county town, why are you going there again? Is there something important you have to do?"

Zhang Dong nodded eagerly and shared his thoughts.

After a moment of surprise, Li Cheng nodded hastily.

“Zhang Dong, I agree with your opinion, and I feel that you are right. Don’t we know what kind of person Wang Jianguo is?”

"How can this be done?"

"If Wang Jianguo were to take action against County Chief Du, and the situation you described were to occur, things would become extremely complicated."

Zhang Dong looked extremely anxious.

"That's why I thought we'd head to the county town tonight. You guys all come with me, and also..."

Zhang Dong's gaze fell upon his uncle, Zhang Guangyao.

"You'll come with me and do this together."

Knowing that this matter concerned the fate of their mine, Zhang Guangyao put down his wine glass without hesitation.

"Okay, nephew."

Zhang Dong's gaze then fell upon his second uncle, Zhang Guangfei, and his father, Zhang Guangming.

"You two, take charge of safety at the mine."

Now that he's transferred his uncle to go to the county town with him, the security of the house will have to be left to his father and second uncle. After all, the security of the house can't be relaxed...

Zhang Dong, along with several classmates and his uncle, hurriedly rushed to the county town overnight.

Upon arrival, they found a hotel to stay in, and only then did Zhang Dong issue the mission.

"Uncle, Li Cheng, you guys should try your best to find out where that old guy Wang Jianguo lives as soon as possible."

"In addition, keep a close eye on County Chief Du's movements, especially his evening social engagements and activities."

Zhang Dong believed that if that old guy Wang Jianguo wanted to make a move against Du Chunlei, he would definitely choose to do it at night.

After all, even if he were incredibly audacious, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on a county magistrate in broad daylight. Such a disgusting act could only be carried out under the cover of darkness...

Zhang Guangyao nodded hurriedly.

"Don't worry, nephew. I have a few brothers here in the county town. I'll ask them to help us inquire as well."

"Hey, wait, wait, Uncle, are your drinking buddies reliable?"

"Don't let Wang Jianguo and his men find out, or we'll alert them."

Zhang Dong's face was full of worry.

Zhang Guangyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, nephew, these are all my best buddies."

When Zhang Dong heard his uncle say that, he instinctively felt a little worried.

His idea was to have his subordinates gather relevant information themselves, without relying on outsiders.

After all, this could lead to the news getting out.

If Wang Jianguo finds out in advance, it will inevitably alert the enemy...

The reason I brought my uncle along was because I knew he was a reckless and unruly person.

Seeing that he patted his chest and made a guarantee, Zhang Dong did not stop him.

The next afternoon, his uncle found out about the situation.

"Zhang Dong, I heard that the county party committee and county government are going to host a welcome banquet for County Chief Du tonight. County Chief Du will definitely attend."

"What, a welcome banquet?" Zhang Dong was quite shocked to hear this news from his uncle.

He never expected that his uncle would be able to find out even such information.

This time, thankfully I brought him with me.

"Have you found out exactly where this welcome banquet is being held?"

“We’ll have to go there then. I have a feeling that Wang Jianguo, that old bastard, will definitely make his move during this opportunity.”

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's question, Zhang Guangyao smiled.

“Nephew, do you not trust me to handle things? Of course I found out. The venue for the welcome banquet is the county government guesthouse.”

"Okay, Uncle, tonight our men will also go to the county government guesthouse..."

Next, Zhang Dong sent Li Cheng to the county committee guesthouse to book a table for a banquet.

That way, if Wang Jianguo makes a move, it would be easy to explain why I'm here with Du Chunlei; I can just say that I'm hosting a banquet for my classmates.

After everything was prepared, Zhang Dong and his group arrived at the county committee guesthouse early that evening, as the lights came on.

They arrived early because they wanted to eat first.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the group of county committee members arrived at the county committee guesthouse.

During a break from eating, I heard noises coming from the corridor.

Through the crack in the door, Zhang Dong saw Du Chunlei's figure.
