144: Chapter 143: The Female County Mayor 144: Chapter 143: The Female County Mayor As soon as these words were spoken, it felt like a cold wind swept across the necks of everyone nearby, startling them all awake and realizing one thing—Chen Ren was the Mayor! Several policemen quickly drew their guns, pointing them at Liu Hun from a few steps away, while a few strong men around already started rolling up their sleeves, ready to gamble their careers. Seeing that he had intimidated everyone around him, Chen Ren immediately became cocky, and the air of authority returned to him rapidly. “Liu Hun, kneel! Kneel for me!” Chen Ren pointed at Liu Hun fiercely. Liu Hun had shattered his long-maintained facade of a kindly tiger back to its original form. The spectators had seen what they should and shouldn’t have seen, and the only thought in his head was to make Liu Hun kneel, to trample his face fiercely! “I only kneel to heaven, earth, and my parents! You? What are you even worth to demand that?” Liu Hun replied coldly, keeping his head high. Chen Ren was so infuriated that his teeth chattered. He pointed at the crowd and shouted, “Beat him! Beat him to death! Make him kneel for me! He must kneel!” With his command, more than a dozen people charged towards Liu Hun. Once someone took the lead, even more followed. Liu Hun knew if hundreds of people got involved, with Chen Ren’s hatred towards him, today would be his end. However, he didn’t lose hope; he was waiting! Waiting for the right person to appear! “Who dares?!” A sharp reprimand, slicing through the crowd like a scented ice dagger, made everyone shiver as if they had been hit by a cold blast, and they all turned to look in the direction of the voice. It wasn’t the voice of Zhao Mingjie. Who could it be? Liu Hun slowly turned around and was shocked to see that the woman standing in front of Zhao Mingjie was someone he knew. “Xiao Yanzi!” “Mayor Xiao!” Liu Hun was stunned, and Chen Ren’s mouth also fell open. Nobody had expected Xiao Yanzi, the beautiful Mayor of Anchang County, to appear here and now! This was Liu Hun’s tactic to deal with Xie Heguo, soliciting external support against Chen Ren. But what Chen Ren never expected was that Liu Hun would use the same tactic to bring in Xiao Yanzi to deal with him! “Xiao... Mayor Xiao... What brings you here?” Chen Ren’s face immediately shifted from a bitter gourd to a sweet melon, smiling and walking up to Xiao Yanzi, proving the ironclad truth that an official one rank higher crushes the subordinate. Xiao Yanzi was dressed very formally today, her face lightly made-up, her dignified presence subtly mixed with charm, exuding a crushing aura. Behind her stood Zhao Mingjie, Bai Hongcai, and Yu Weihong among others. “Vice Mayor Chen! As a governing official of Anchang County, to say such things in front of so many people. Who do you want to beat? To kill? Kill one and show me! Abusing power, what a disgrace!” Xiao Yanzi said sternly, her face as cold as a thawed rose from ice. Publicly scolded by his superior, Chen Ren’s face turned bright red with shame and he quickly said to Xiao Yanzi, “Mayor Xiao, this... this Liu Hun has maliciously assaulted me; look, several of my teeth have been knocked out.” “Slap!” To everyone’s surprise, upon hearing Chen Ren’s words, Xiao Yanzi casually snatched the documents from Zhao Mingjie’s hand and slapped them across Chen Ren’s face. Chen Ren, humiliated and baffled, heard Xiao Yanzi say icily, “That’s letting you off easy! All these documents belong to you! You’d better think about how you’ll explain this to the Commission for Discipline Inspection!” Terrified, Chen Ren’s eyes bulged, and he hurriedly picked up the documents, only to collapse on the ground as if deboned, a wet patch forming beneath him... “Hey! This is our beautiful County Mayor?! Really strong and fiery, indeed! No wonder she could make it to Mayor amidst all the men! Impressive!” “Tsk tsk tsk! Did you see how she handled Chen Ren? Absolute authority and style, slapping him felt so satisfying! What must it feel like to marry such a powerful and sexy woman?” “What nonsense are you spouting?! Don’t you know there’s a bigger picture here? My cousin in the County Committee told me that there has been discord between the two leading teams of the Anchang County Committee for a long time. Chen Ren is the left-hand man of the County Party Secretary Li Tianyang, and now Mayor Xiao personally clipping Secretary Li’s wings here today, there’s sure to be a good show!” “...” Xiao Yanzi looked disdainfully at Chen Ren on the ground; she really despised this kind of man and snorted coldly before turning to Zhao Mingjie, “Director Zhao! Immediately arrest Xie Heguo and Lin Fugui! Raid their homes, confiscate all valuable belongings and properties, including all documents related to this incident! Make sure it’s thoroughly done!” “Yes!” Zhao Mingjie saluted Xiao Yanzi and then immediately led all the police officers from the station to start the operation. “Director Xie!” Xiao Yanzi called out to another man behind her. “Mayor Xiao!” The man with glasses behind her responded and quickly stepped forward. “You take the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission to raid the offices of Xie Heguo and Lin Fugui, as well as the Taiping Town Cooperative. All documents and illicit goods must be filed and organized!” Xiao Yanzi continued issuing orders to Director Xie behind her. Director Xie responded and hastily organized his people to start the action. Meanwhile, Xiao Yanzi turned to the Minister of Organization, Liu Wei, and said, “Minister Liu! Immediately check all the personnel who have had contact with Chen Ren, Xie Heguo, and Lin Fugui. Bring them to the conference room and interrogate them one by one! We cannot leave any corrupt elements!” “Yes, yes, yes!” Liu Wei, frightened, nodded his head quickly. He had come down with Chen Ren, and he hadn’t expected Chen Ren to have caused so much trouble, stabbing such a huge hole. Seeing that even gods couldn’t save Chen Ren now, he had no choice but to do his best to run errands for Xiao Yanzi. He only hoped he wouldn’t get dragged into this himself. Seeing this series of commands and actions, everyone around felt a chill down their spines and let out a cold gasp; nobody had expected Xiao Yanzi to act so swiftly and decisively. It seemed she was different from the previous leaders who muddled through their responsibilities! “Starting now! I am officially taking over all the work of the party and government team in Taiping Town! All comrades on duty must continue to work as usual without delaying daily tasks. Be ready at any time for organizational deployment and review! I welcome any opinions and suggestions, but...” Xiao Yanzi said, pausing for a moment as her sharp eyes swept over the people around her, “come to my office and speak to me in person!” After speaking, she walked confidently towards the mayor’s office, her demeanor and momentum like that of a queen bee inspecting her territory, causing everyone to dare not make a sound. Xiao Yanzi walked up to Liu Hun, suddenly stopping and showing a charming smile as she spoke, “Pretty capable, huh? Come up and chat with me.” Liu Hun was startled, his whole body tense, as if he had accidentally touched a live wire, his body trembling at Xiao Yanzi’s smile; the thought flashed through his mind that this woman was truly different! Like a whirlwind sweeping leaves, Xiao Yanzi took control of the situation in Taiping Town, completely dominating the local scene, and cleaned up the leadership team of Taiping Town like stripping corn cobs, leaving them spotless. The local government officials in Taiping Town, who usually just bided their time and awaited death, not only witnessed Xiao Yanzi’s beauty during these days but also experienced her methods firsthand—truly a rose with thorns, painfully sharp! When the news reached the ears of the County Party Secretary, Li Tianyang, two days later, he had just returned from a city meeting and sat down when his secretary rushed in. “Xiao Zhou, what are you doing? How many times have I told you? This is the County Party Committee; we need to be mindful!” Li Tianyang said as he leisurely unscrewed his tea cup. “Secretary Li, Mayor Xiao went to Taiping Town!” Xiao Zhou told Li Tianyang. Li Tianyang, still displaying a very calm demeanor, said to his secretary, “Let her go.” “Mayor Xiao...” Xiao Zhou began, glanced back to make sure no one was outside, then stepped forward, whispering to Li Tianyang, “She has dealt with Mayor Xie and Deputy County Mayor Chen!” “Pfft!” Li Tianyang spit the tea onto Xiao Zhou’s face and exclaimed, “What?! Dealt with them?” Wiping the tea off his face, Xiao Zhou hurriedly said, “It’s news from Director Xie of the Discipline Inspection Office. Mayor Xie and Deputy County Mayor Chen were caught red-handed. Money, women, and a stack of materials are all in Mayor Xiao’s hands now. It looks like they’re done for this time.” “Smack!” Li Tianyang slammed his hand on the table and pointed at Xiao Zhou, shouting, “Such a big deal, why didn’t you call me?!” Xiao Zhou lamented with an aggrieved expression, “I swear, Secretary Li, I really did call, but your phone was off, I couldn’t get through no matter how I tried.” Li Tianyang then remembered that he had been happily playing with his mistress and had turned off his phone, not expecting such a big issue to arise—the woman was truly a disaster! “Well done, Xiao Yanzi! I underestimated this dame! While I was away at a city meeting, she managed to deal with two of my people!” Li Tianyang furiously smashed his teacup, seeing that the election for the County Committee standing committee members was imminent. It was a crucial moment for his layout within the County Committee team and an important opportunity to suppress Xiao Yanzi, but this unexpected incident had thrown everything into chaos. “Secretary Li, should we communicate with the city?” Xiao Zhou tentatively asked. He was very clear about the relationship between Chen Ren, Xie Heguo, and Li Tianyang, being a minion himself. “Communicate my ass! They were caught red-handed; how can we communicate now? She has already taken control of the whole Tianping Town, and all the dirty, stinky stuff will be dug up by her!” Li Tianyang cursed furiously, then suddenly asked, “That... the person Xie Heguo recommended before to take over his position, what’s his name?” Xiao Zhou pondered, then reluctantly said, “His name is Lin Fugui, but he’s been investigated too.” “A bunch of useless people! Not a single one I can rely on!” Li Tianyang was nearly explosive with anger, with Chen Ren, Xie Heguo, and even Lin Fugui all being investigated, his plans for the standing committee of the County Committee and Taiping Town were thrown into disarray.
