Wen Liang unbuttoned a few buttons on his coat, rolled up his sleeves, opened the door and walked out. There happened to be a metal bucket on the path in front of the door. He raised his foot and kicked it two or three meters away, saying, "Go home and wail if you want to. You dare to bring bad luck to me in broad daylight. Believe it or not, I will slap you in the face!"
The metal bucket clanged towards the woman holding the portrait. She screamed and forgot about crying. She stood up and hid. Her anger suddenly weakened. Others were also shocked by Wen Liang's ferociousness. They took a step back involuntarily. Someone mustered up the courage to say, "You dare to hit people? We are..."
"I don't care who you are. I came from Jiangyue to do business, but I didn't even see a single feather in such a large mining area. I'm so angry! I'm telling you, don't make trouble for me. If you make me angry, you, you, you, do you have a husband or children? I've been in this business for so many years. Although I never hit a woman, I can chop off one hand of all the men in your family. Do you believe it? Do you believe it? Ah?"
The women who were pointed at by Wen Liang subconsciously shrank their necks, lowered their heads, turned their faces away and hid behind others, fearing that Wen Liang would see them clearly and retaliate. Chang Cheng was also a smart man. He walked over and stomped hard, flattening the iron bucket. With a ferocious look on his face, he sneered, "Go back and ask if your husband's head is as hard as this iron!"
It has to be said that Wen Liang is a man who loves what he does, and he plays the role of a local tyrant and a bully with great ease. With Chang Cheng, a guy with explosive fighting power, as a supporting role, not to mention fooling a group of women with long hair and short knowledge, even the gangsters who shave their heads and wear tattoos all day long may not be immune to being fooled.
The crowd finally started to stir, everyone looked at each other, and all of them wanted to go home. Relatives are relatives, helping others is helping others, but there is no need to get yourself into trouble for helping relatives, and today they made such a scene just to vent their anger, and if they said they could help Zhang Erhu who was imprisoned, no matter how ignorant they were, they would not believe it.
This is what most people think. Zhang Erhu's wife saw that the situation was hopeless, but she still insisted: "We are only looking for the woman named Ning. It has nothing to do with you outsiders. Let her come out..."
Before he could finish his words, Wen Liang interrupted him fiercely, saying, "Bullshit, there is no one with the surname Ning or Li here. My wife is inside. She just came here with me from Jiangyue today. What does she have to do with you old women? Get out of here right now. If you keep dawdling, don't blame me for being rude!"
Wen Liang knew with a shrewd guess that they must have been instructed by someone to block Ning Xi here. Their purpose was to take advantage of their status as women to act like a spoiled brat and make trouble to give Ning Xi a hard time. But they probably didn't recognize what Ning Xi looked like, so the arrogant ones were afraid of the stupid ones, and the stupid ones were afraid of the desperate ones. They would make a lot of noise first, and then try to fool them. It would be best if they could fool them and dodge this wave.
"Mei Zi, why don't we go back first? Maybe we really made a mistake..."
"Yeah, yeah, let's go back. Who said he saw someone named Ning coming?"
"I told you before, that woman must be stupid, otherwise why would she be willing to come to the mining area alone at this time? Isn't she that thing?"
"Walk into a trap!"
"Yes, oh my god, Sister Liu, you are still more educated!"
"What's the matter with culture or not, but I can hear that this guy has the same accent as Jiang Yue... You don't know, the people over there are all desperate..."
Sister Liu lowered her voice and said something that made the surrounding women exclaim in surprise. When they looked at Wen Liang again, their eyes were full of fear, and then they all started to persuade him. The woman named Mei Zi was confused by what she said. She looked at the shed with resentment, gritting her teeth but still unwilling to give up. At this time, a group of people rushed over from a distance. It turned out to be Lei Fang who received a call from Ning Xi. He happened to be nearby and hurried over with his people.
After Lei Fang had completely controlled the situation and dispersed the women who were causing trouble, Wen Liang and Ning Xi got on the car and returned to Shahe County. On the way, Ning Xi suddenly laughed out loud, and Wen Liang asked curiously, "What's so funny?"
"I didn't expect you to curse, and curse so harshly, hahaha..."
Although Wen Liang's image has never been very positive, it is at least not vulgar. Today, due to the need of the character setting, he made a temporary cameo appearance, which made Ning Xi almost laugh to death. She looked sideways and asked, "Is this how you treat your savior?"
Ning Xi glanced at Chang Cheng and saw that he was concentrating on driving in the front driver's seat. His neck and eyes seemed to be fixed, not moving at all. Then she leaned over to Wen Liang's ear and whispered, "My benefactor, I will repay you in the evening!"
Wen Liang's appetite was excited, and he joked, "How about we go to the mining area again tomorrow?" It seemed that he had tasted the sweetness of role-playing and was ready to be a hero and save the damsel in distress a few more times.
Ning Xi pouted at him, her eyes turned cold, and she said, "There won't be a next time for something like today!"
The office building of Hengsha Mining was a seven-story commercial building rented from the County Material Bureau. The walls were repainted, tiles were laid, and it was renovated from inside to outside, and it looked brand new. After sitting in the room for a while and drinking a cup of tea, Lei Fang hurriedly pushed the door open and gave Wen Liang a warm hug.
Lei Fang might or might not know about the conflict with Yan Qixiu a few months ago because of Luo Qi. At least on the surface, he had no idea. Wen Liang did not pursue his intention of selling out to Yan Qixiu. Sometimes, the boundary between stupidity and intelligence is not so clear!
The three of them sat down and talked about the developments in the past period of time and some interesting things at work. Wen Liang turned the topic to Bencao Ruolan, which was one of the reasons why he came to Shahe in person this time.
Because to be more precise, Bencao Ruolan did not just belong to him, but was a company jointly owned by the three people in the room. It was reasonable to communicate when it was time, otherwise, even if Ning Xi didn't say anything, how could Lei Fang not have any grudges in his heart
"The progress of Bencao is smoother than expected. The first batch of products should be available at the end of July, and a series of promotional activities will be launched afterwards. My plan is to focus on conquering the market in five months at all costs, and strive to make the market share among the top three in China by the end of the year..."
"Okay, I'll leave these things to you, brother. It gives me a headache just to hear them!" Lei Fang interrupted Wen Liang and laughed, "Let's not talk about work today, let's relax. I'll welcome you at Dongming Hotel tonight, and we'll go sing after we finish drinking. If you don't mind, I'll take you to a nice place after the song, hehe..."
Wen Liang didn't get to go to the good place that Lei Fang mentioned. Before the welcoming banquet was over, Lei Fang received a call. It turned out that Zhang Erhu had swallowed a nail in the detention center. Fortunately, he was found in time and rescued, but the nail scratched his throat and he would not be able to speak for a month or two.
Lei Fang almost dropped the phone and said angrily, "Sister Xi, you are picking a fight with us! You wanted to save his life, but he didn't appreciate it at all!"
Ning Xi was silent for a while, then turned to look at Wen Liang. Wen Liang said calmly, "First, your whereabouts were known to everyone, and then Zhang Erhu committed suicide by swallowing a nail. What will happen next? It seems that simply replacing a few leaders and arresting a few ringleaders is still not enough to deter... "
Ning Xi was still hesitant, but Wen Liang nodded to Lei Fang. Lei Fang clapped his hands excitedly and said, "I'll go right away. Zhang Erhu wants to die, so let's make his wish come true!"
After Lei Fang left, Ning Xi poured herself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. Wen Liang sat next to her, gently hugged her in his arms, and said, "What evidence do you have against Zhang Erhu?"
"Tax evasion, provoking trouble, raping and organizing women into prostitution, illegally storing guns and ammunition, opening casinos, and organized crimes of a mafia nature..."
Wen Liang shook his head and said, "These are not enough to sentence him to death. Lei Fang is so sure, obviously you have other evidence."
"Two years ago, in mid-November 1994, a large-scale fight broke out between Kaihua and Bailong Mining Districts over the ownership of a mine at the border of the two mining districts. Seven people died and 21 people were seriously injured, eight of whom were paralyzed for life. But the incident was suppressed by the city and county governments at the time. Only a few people involved in the fight were arrested, and then several mine owners including Zhang Erhu paid compensation to the families of the dead and injured. But almost everyone knows that the mastermind behind the incident was Zhang Erhu. Zhang Erhu became notorious for this, which made other competitors retreat and occupy a large area of the Kaihua mine."
"We have evidence that Zhang Erhu not only instigated the incident, but also personally participated in it that night and beat a man to death..." Ning Xi smiled bitterly, "I originally only intended to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and imprison him for a few years on charges of tax evasion, gambling and rape, but I didn't expect..."
"If you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from it. It's impossible for a person like Zhang Erhu to surrender. If he is kept alive, he will be a disaster sooner or later." Wen Liang looked directly into Ning Xi's eyes and said, "Just ask yourself, should a person like him die?"
"This kind of scum deserves to die 10,000 times, but, I really don't want the process of capital accumulation to always be filled with too much blood..."
Wen Liang held the girl's arms tightly, feeling her pain and confusion. When faced with the choice between life and death, this is the awe for life that a kind person should have!
"So, from now on, just let me handle things like this! Xiaoyi, remember, I asked Lei Fang to do this, it has nothing to do with you!"
Ning Xi suddenly raised her head, broke free from Wen Liang's arms, then held his hands and said word by word: "No, this is what I should do, and it is also the responsibility I must bear! Liang, if you must kill someone, I would rather have the knife that kills people always in my hand!"
A satisfied smile gradually appeared on Wenliang's lips, and he said, "In our hands!"
The road to heaven does not allow for the slightest bit of mercy and kindness. When countless open and hidden arrows are whistling at you, I will hold your hand and cut open the smooth road paved with blood. (To be continued)
