"This..."

Hearing Mayor Zhou Xiyang's deep questioning, those temp workers were petrified.

Before this, the most important person they had encountered was Wang Daniu, so now, standing before Mayor Zhou Xiyang, they were simply terrified...

And so it was, their minds went blank, utterly at a loss for words!

Watching them stand there, dumbfounded like puppets, Zhou Xiyang looked at Fang Yongguan, "Director Fang, these are your subordinates? Their psychological fortitude is really too poor!"

Fang Yongguan's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing Zhou Xiyang's mockery...

Quickly, he hurriedly said, "Mayor Zhou, this... this was unexpected, I will definitely strengthen psychological assessments in my future recruitments!"

Having said this, Fang Yongguan turned to the dazed Dong Zhengnan and shouted, "Are you dead? Hurry up and find me Wang Daniu!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm on it right away!"

Cursed out loudly, Dong Zhengnan finally came to his senses...

...

After rushing upstairs, Dong Zhengnan saw the almost completely paralyzed Wang Daniu by the door of the interrogation room's dark cell...

Hearing footsteps, Wang Daniu raised his head to see Dong Zhengnan standing before him!

After a twitch of his mouth, Wang Daniu hastily began, "Chief, I..."

Hearing Wang Daniu speak, Dong Zhengnan kicked out straight away, "Motherfucker!"

At this moment, he was so furious that he wished he could skin Wang Daniu alive, as the current mess was all due to this bastard's doing...

Wang Daniu, kicked over like a turtle, was full of dismay, but dared not say a word.

He knew he was in the wrong.

Wanting to beat Wang Daniu to death, Dong Zhengnan restrained his impulse and roared lowly, "Get the hell down there! Explain yourself to Mayor Zhou properly!"

"Yes! Chief!"

Having agreed, Wang Daniu struggled to his feet and silently followed Dong Zhengnan down!

"It's over! Utterly over!"

Wang Xiaoniu watched as his elder brother Wang Daniu was taken away like a beaten grandchild, knowing that everything was thoroughly ruined...

Before, he had not realized the seriousness of the matter, so he hadn't been very nervous!

But now, having realized, he was completely panicked!

Wang Xiaoniu wasn't an idiot; he knew if his older brother fell, he would be doomed too, because he had offended too many people before...

They would certainly not let him off!

"What a suicidal move, really, what a suicidal move before," he growled quietly, clenching his fists and painfully pounding the ground...

...

"Mayor Zhou, here's the man!"

Hearing Dong Zhengnan's sycophantic voice, Zhou Xiyang looked at Wang Daniu and said, "You are Wang Daniu?"

With Zhou Xiyang's words, everyone looked at Wang Daniu.

"I..."

Wang Daniu tried to respond but opened his mouth only to find himself unable to utter a word!

As if someone had seized his throat...

"You dead yet?"

Seeing him become stupefied, Dong Zhengnan viciously kicked him.

The kick sent him unconscious!

Zhou Xiyang saw him pass out, frowned slightly, and ordered, "Arrest him!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving Zhou Xiyang's order, the subordinates acted swiftly...

Without giving another glance to the captured Wang Daniu, he turned to the temp workers and said, "I'm asking you, where is my father!"

The temp workers, too scared to speak, hurriedly raised their hands...

Following the direction they pointed, Zhou Xiyang quickly moved forward...

After taking a couple of steps, Zhou Xiyang saw someone following and said coldly, "Don't move, everyone stay here!"

"Yes!"

Hearing everyone's response, Zhou Xiyang continued on his way...

...

"It's over, this time it's really over!"

Watching Wang Daniu, unconscious, being taken away.

Both Fang Yongguan and Dong Zhengnan knew they were truly finished!

They were aware of the many unsavory things they had done in private.

Wang Daniu knew some of these things, so if he couldn't hold out, it would quickly implicate them!

"Wang Daniu must be able to hold out! He must!"

Exchanging glances, the two could only comfort themselves this way.

"It looks like Mayor Zhou is really getting serious this time, just hope it doesn't come back to burn me!"

Gu Tong glanced at the grim-faced Dong Zhengnan and Fang Yongguan and murmured sullenly.

Quickly, he waved his hand to his subordinates and they skulked away from there...

...

"Who is this unconscious piece of trash?"

Zhou Xiyang arrived at the door of the dark cell and saw Wang Xiaoniu passed out, frowning.

Soon, he disregarded the trash and hurried into the dark room!

Seeing that his father and the rest were unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, are you alright?"

As he asked with concern, he quickly approached his father, Zhou Yu...

Feeling the warmth from Zhou Xiyang's concerned inquiry, Zhou Yu shook his head, "I'm fine! What could happen to me? By the way, Xiao Zhou, let me introduce you to a friend of mine!"

"A friend?"

Noticing Zhou Xiyang's surprise, Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Yes! His name is Hu Xiaobei! He's from Lake Heart City!"

Hearing Zhou Yu's introduction, Hu Xiaobei took the initiative to extend his hand, "Mayor Zhou, hello!"

"Hello!"

As he responded, Zhou Xiyang extended his hand with great solemnity!

Zhou Xiyang knew his father was the kind of person who saw himself as above others.

So, the fact that he was now taking the initiative to introduce him meant that he truly cared about this person named Hu Xiaobei.

Naturally, Zhou Xiyang was also very serious…

"Quite young, aren't you!"

After sizing up Hu Xiaobei a few times, he was a little surprised!

However, he didn't show it, but quickly said, "Alright, this isn't the place to chat, let's go first!"

"Okay!"

With agreement, Hu Xiaobei took one last glance at the small dark room, knowing he probably wouldn't have the opportunity to come here again…

Stepping out, Hu Xiaobei was a bit surprised!

Because he saw many people standing there…

Looking at them, Hu Xiaobei smiled…

Hu Xiaobei knew that after this incident, everyone of significance in Sanfeng City would get the news.

By then, they would all know that he and Zhou Xiyang were on the same side, so they naturally wouldn't dare to find fault with him…

An hour later, Hu Xiaobei, along with Zhou Xiyang and some elders, arrived at Dong's tea house…

…

As the owner, Dong quickly brewed the tea…

Soon, the fragrance of tea filled the air!

After trying it, Zhou Xiyang couldn't stop singing its praises!

He and his father both had a penchant for tea!

Having tasted it now, he was completely captivated…

Somewhat excited, he put down his cup and said, "Xiaobei, the tea you've cultivated is simply fantastic! Can I buy some?"

Hearing Zhou Xiyang's eager question, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "If Mayor Zhou likes it, I'll just give you some!"

Before, Hu Xiaobei had wanted to find a powerful backer in Sanfeng City.

Now that he had found such a major one, Hu Xiaobei was really happy!

He knew all this was thanks to Xu Yuan, so he planned to take the opportunity to express his gratitude properly…

Hearing Hu Xiaobei offer to give it freely, Zhou Xiyang became excited, "In that case, I feel very embarrassed!"

"Ha ha, Mayor Zhou, we're all tea lovers here, there's no need to worry about it!"

"Well… alright then! By the way, I heard that your shop here in Sanfeng City was affected a bit?"

"Yes, just now, my shop was even sealed off!"

"Some people just make trouble; by opening your shop, you're helping to boost the economy of Sanfeng City, which is a good thing! From now on, I assure you that there will be no more problems!"

"Thank you, Mayor Zhou!"

"Hey, you saved my father before, and now you've given me such wonderful tea, I should be thanking you. By the way, why don't you open a tea shop here in Sanfeng City sometime? I think it would be very popular!"

Hearing Zhou Xiyang's suggestion, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "Sure, I'll definitely consider it for the future, but right now, there's not enough supply of tea leaves, so I'll have to wait a bit!"

"Yes, I understand that!"

Zhou Xiyang, also a tea enthusiast, knew that it's difficult to increase the production of tea leaves in a short time.

Half an hour later, Hu Xiaobei left the place…

After tapping gently on the table, Zhou Xiyang picked up the phone…

He knew he had to do something for Hu Xiaobei; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to properly repay the kindness Hu Xiaobei had shown to his father.

…

At Gu Tong's villa…

Watching Gu Tong pacing back and forth, Zheng Cun spoke up, "Godfather, we're all back now, you don't need to be afraid anymore, right?"

Hearing Zheng Cun speak, Qi Xiaolu also said, "That's right, godfather! Even if Hu Xiaobei is tough, he wouldn't really drag you down. After all, your power in Sanfeng City is tremendous..."

"Bullshit, my little power is tremendous? In front of Mayor Zhou, my power doesn't stand a chance! I…"

Before he could finish, Gu Tong suddenly heard footsteps and saw his assistant rushing in with an urgent look.

"What's wrong?"

With a bad premonition, Gu Tong quickly asked.

"Master Gu, I just received a notice that our shop's fire protection isn't up to standard, and now we must shut down completely for rectification."

Hearing this, Gu Tong's eyes widened, "How… how is that possible!"

"But… but it's true, now all the shops of our company have been sealed off!"

"I… I understand, you can go now."

"Yes."

After the assistant left, Gu Tong sighed silently!

He knew there would be retribution, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly…

"Godfather, this…"

Hearing them about to ramble on, Gu Tong coldly said, "Get out of here, I need to make a phone call!"

"Yes!"

After Zheng Cun and Qi Xiaolu hurriedly left, he picked up the phone…

Hesitating for a moment, he called the chief of the fire department with whom he had a good relationship.

Once the call connected, he went straight to the point, "Director Su, is it a case of too much water in Dragon King Temple? Why have my shops been sealed? You know my fire safety facilities, they are definitely not a problem!"

"Gu Tong, you've offended a big shot this time, so I can't help you! Don't call me anymore, that's it!"

"Director Su… this…"

Hearing the emotionless response, Gu Tong wanted to say something more.

But before he could continue, he fell silent; the other party had already hung up…

"It's over!"

After hanging up, Gu Tong knew that he was thoroughly ruined…

Especially in Sanfeng City, there was no way he could stay…
