143: Chapter 142 Fight 143: Chapter 142 Fight “I have some business with Director Ren,” Liu Hun said calmly, suppressing his emotions. He needed to make sure. If Ren Peiling wasn’t inside, and he barged in only to get tangled up with these people or chased down, it would definitely delay his search for Ren Peiling elsewhere. “What Director Ren? I don’t know, she’s not here! Who are you? Go rest downstairs! Get lost!” a burly man said disdainfully to Liu Hun. Liu Hun coldly smiled, activating his Qi Force! X-ray vision—on! The scene inside the mayor’s office behind the wall appeared before him! The sight made his blood boil! Liu Hun took a swift step forward, delivering a harsh punch directly to the man’s face. The sound of a nasal bone cracking was heard as his head shook violently, and the man fell straight to the ground. A kick to the abdomen on the left, a punch to the head on the right, Liu Hun showed no mercy and took no requests for mercy, determined to let these people lie on the ground unconscious for a few hours. In twenty seconds, he knocked them all down without exception, leaving them on the ground like limp mud. Liu Hun didn’t even spare them a glance, kicking the door to the mayor’s office open. “Bang!” The door slammed open, exposing all the ugliness within to the daylight like airing out cotton. The unconscious Ren Peiling lay fully dressed on a sofa covered with hundred-yuan notes, while Chen Ren, standing next to the sofa, showed a body like a dried sausage, stripped down to his underwear. “You... you’re Liu Hun, what are you doing here? Get out right now! Somebody! Anybody!” Chen Ren hurriedly covered his private parts and shouted in panic. “Calling for people, huh? Want me to help you shout? Mayor Chen, let’s have everyone in Taiping Town come take a look, see your ‘upright and honest’ image!” Liu Hun said with a cold face, stepping aside to invite Chen Ren to shout outside. Hearing this, Chen Ren hurriedly shut his mouth. Just as he was about to grab his clothes, Liu Hun beat him to it, throwing his clothes and pants down into the courtyard below and then said, “A clean official should be open and aboveboard. Why bother with clothes? Isn’t this just fine?” As the saying goes, a person needs face just as a tree needs bark. If the door were closed, Chen Ren would wish to strip away everything, but once it was open, he knew he still needed to maintain appearances. “What... what do you really want? I am the mayor! I’m telling you, if you offend me, there will be nothing good for you!” Chen Ren threatened Liu Hun, having no idea who Liu Hun really was, only knowing that he was just a farmer during his visits. “I have a taste for strong flavors, and I just so happen to like bad outcomes!” Liu Hun replied, stepping up to Chen Ren and delivering a harsh slap across his face. “Slap!” A sound echoed as Chen Ren held his swollen, aching face, unable to believe that a foul-smelling farmer dared to slap him. Liu Hun raised his hand again and slapped the other side of Chen Ren’s face just as fiercely. This flurry of blows didn’t stop as Liu Hun finished with several more slaps and then kicked Chen Ren in the groin. Chen Ren felt an intense pain piercing his groin, as if something had torn... His knees buckled, and he fell down before Liu Hun. Liu Hun glanced at the room full of money and then at the unconscious Ren Peiling, finally understanding Bai Hongcai’s words, knowing what it meant to be a smiling tiger gaining both wealth and beauty. Liu Hun brought over a chair and sat in front of Chen Ren, looking at him like a stray dog. “Speak! Where did this money come from?” “I... I am the mayor... Ouch!” Chen Ren tried to speak, but Liu Hun raised a foot and stomped his face into the floor. Liu Hun glared coldly at Chen Ren, whose face was pinned under his foot, and said, “We common folk put you in power to be the mayor. Otherwise, you’re nothing. Don’t try showing off your official authority here. Today I can stomp your face, tomorrow I can prosecute you!” “Slap!” With that said, Liu Hun stomped hard on Chen Ren’s face again. “Ouch, ouch, ouch... You want to know, huh? I’ll tell you, this money was given by Xie Heguo.” Chen Ren learned his lesson, but in his heart, he was already plotting how to deal with Liu Hun’s ancestors for humiliating him. He knew full well that this stinking farmer had only overwhelmed him by force, but the whole of Taiping Town was under his control, and he was determined to strip Liu Hun of his skin. “What about Ren Peiling?” Liu Hun continued to press Chen Ren, applying more force with his foot. “Don’t... don’t stomp, I’ll tell, I’ll tell everything. It was all orchestrated by Xie Heguo and Lin Fugui. When I came in, the money was already in the suitcase, and Ren Peiling was unconscious on the sofa.” Chen Ren confessed everything to Liu Hun, believing that soon Liu Hun would become a prisoner or even a dead man, so there was no harm in talking. “Then why was the money under Ren Peiling?” Liu Hun asked again. “I... I arranged it like that,” Chen Ren admitted to Liu Hun, an old face covered in sweat, embarrassed like refuse discarded in a cesspool. “For ‘the People’s’ service!” Liu Hun said, stomping down hard on Chen Ren’s face. Chen Ren screamed like a cat with its tail stepped on, spitting out four bloodied teeth, and convulsed like a giant shrimp on the ground. “Do you know what kind of money Xie Heguo’s money is? It’s the blood money from the eighteen lives in the front village! And you dare take money stained with blood! Ren Peiling and I were hoping you’d bring us justice, and you had the audacity to make a move on her, you damn corrupt official!” With that, Liu Hun stomped Chen Ren’s face again. “Pfft!” Chen Ren spat out three more bloody teeth, his entire head numbed by the pain. Suddenly! A group of people appeared behind Liu Hun, and several policemen at the front pulled out their guns, aiming at Liu Hun, shouting, “Mayor Chen?! Liu Hun! What are you doing! Don’t move! Stand up slowly!” Neither Liu Hun nor Chen Ren expected Qin Yue, along with Bai Hongcai and Yu Weihong, to find Zhao Mingjie and bring a note to her. Zhao Mingjie hurried to the county with people, but the problem was, Zhao Mingjie worried that Liu Hun might make a bigger scene, so she sent a few policemen to Wanbao Village. When the police made a round in Wanbao Village and heard that Liu Hun went to the Township Government, they rushed straight there. As soon as they entered the Township Government’s courtyard, they heard wails and immediately called everyone upstairs to see this scene. “Oh my... What’s this now? Is that Liu Hun? He’s got too much guts, hitting the mayor, doesn’t he want to live?! My God, teeth are knocked out!” “Why is there so much money? Where did it come from?! Hey, who’s that sleeping on the sofa? Looks like Director Ren! What on earth happened here? Why is Mayor Chen naked? There’s a lot more to this story!” “Looks like a scene of catching someone in the act... All this money, and the unconscious Director Ren, tsk, tsk. I think Mayor Chen’s rear end might not be so clean either!” “...” The people gathered outside, seeing this peculiar sight, began to speculate, and the onlookers weren’t just ordinary citizens—some were seasoned veterans of the Township Government, some came together from the county. Seeing this scene, many had already figured out what was going on. Liu Hun was controlled at gunpoint, while Chen Ren was propped up on a chair. Dazed, Chen Ren looked at Liu Hun as if a starving man had seen a large bun, shakily pointing at Liu Hun and said, “Detain... detain him in the courtyard, wait for me!” Being seen by so many people, the effect was a hundred times better than Liu Hun had originally expected. The people here were all sharp-eyed, and without much explanation, they surely knew what was going on. Chen Ren could easily shut one person’s mouth but had no hope of shutting so many. With so many people around, Liu Hun wasn’t worried about any harm coming to Ren Peiling, so he was escorted to the courtyard. After waiting for over twenty minutes, Chen Ren returned to the courtyard, his appearance a sorry sight, though the ‘smiling tiger’ had lost seven teeth, his face more unsightly than a cat after failed mating. Liu Hun stood in the center of the courtyard, hands behind his back, head held high. The two policemen beside him had already put away their guns, pretending to stand behind him but having heard Luo Hun’s prowess from Zhao Mingjie at the police station, nobody wanted to test it. Hundreds of people surrounded the courtyard, enclosing Liu Hun in the middle. Soon, the scene from the mayor’s office was spreading from mouth to mouth, and the radiant, dignified image Chen Ren had built for himself in recent days instantly collapsed into a stinking mess, less welcome than Xie Heguo. With people supporting him, Chen Ren pointed at Liu Hun, shouting crazily like a dog on expired medication, “Beat him! Beat him to death! Go! Go on!” Despite Chen Ren’s orders, Liu Hun stood in the center of the courtyard, immovable as a mountain. If seen by someone unaware of the truth, they might have thought Liu Hun was the mayor and Chen Ren the rabid dog caught. Chen Ren shouted for a long time, but nobody moved, as people around had already figured out what had happened in the mayor’s office and knew it was only a matter of time before Chen Ren was finished. Nobody wanted to curry favor with a plague horse. “What are you waiting for?! Beat him! Go on, kick him! Use your feet and knock him down! I want to stomp his face! I want to stomp his face!” Chen Ren screamed madly, but nobody listened, leaving him putting on a circus act. Seeing his words falling on deaf ears, Chen Ren pointed at Liu Hun and said, “Kid, don’t get cocky. Do you really think I can’t deal with you? Do you really think you can act mighty in front of me?! I’ll have you executed!” After speaking, he pointed at the policemen beside him, shouting, “You! Pull out your gun!” Seeing the police also hesitant, Chen Ren sneered and declared, “You listen to me. I am the mayor! Taiping Town is still under my control. Anyone who doesn’t obey will be dismissed on the spot!” What was the right thing to do? Many people around had a question mark pop up in their minds.
