Introduction: This world is haunted.
There are gods too.
But now, the gods are dead!
When the old god dies and the new god is not yet established, it is also the time for demons and ghosts to revel and turn things around...
If you like this type of story or want to see something new, please go and have a look. By the way, I actually want to write about monsters and ghosts, but I don’t know if you support me…
Overnight, Chengdu, the provincial capital in the southwest, was in a state of panic.
There were rumors everywhere that something had happened to the Xinlong Group. The scene of the police clearing the road was enough to cause the sensational news to spread, and people were talking about it on the streets. Secondly, the police began to raid everywhere to arrest those involved in the case. The officials in Chengdu and those in related fields who were well-informed felt the shock even more. Some people kept their eyes on the upper level and did not miss any clues.
Now everyone in related fields and industries in Chengdu, whether they are wealthy or ordinary people, is listening attentively to judge the development of the situation. However, there is no doubt that in everyone's senses, a violent earthquake is forming like boiling water.
There is a strong wind and heavy rain outside, and many people will not be able to sleep all night.
In one of the rooms with bright lights in the family building of the Fulong compound, which seemed to be the core of the storm but was closely related to the eye of the storm, Cheng Feiyang, who was rarely away from the Fulong building, stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, facing the window.
Cheng Ran waited quietly on the sofa.
The phone rang, Cheng Ran picked up. It was Xie Feibai. "Cheng Ran, you heard it, right? You are definitely not as well-informed as I am. Didn't you ask someone to beat up your Lei Wei last time? Now the truth has come out. Some of my friends in the provincial compound told me the details of the rumors among them. It is said that at the provincial department-level cadre meeting of the Public Security Department this year, a deputy department-level cadre from Xinhua Hotel broke into the high-level office with materials and demanded that a case be filed against many people in Xinlong Group and that the officials in charge of the provincial party committee and government were all alarmed. It is said that the evidence is conclusive. Once a large-scale arrest is made this time, the next step is... In short, this cadre who dared to use the evidence to coerce the top leaders to file a case has become famous. He has also risked his future and burned himself to death. He is so brave! My father told me that people like Lei Wei can indeed rely on their power to bully others. They are both black and white. He is building relationships and alliances with the white side, and training armed thugs to attack him at any time. But since he has chosen this path, he will have to pay for his actions sooner or later. It's not that he won't pay, but the time has not come yet. One day, the cycle of fate will return. If he meets someone more ruthless than him, he will have to bite the bullet and take the beating."
Cheng Ran was slapped in the face at the school gate at that time. Xie Feibai, who was well-informed, found out about it later. When he called, he asked in a grief-stricken tone, "I heard that you were beaten up?" The next sentence was a reversal of tone, and he laughed out loud with gloating, "Ahahaha wow, why do I feel so good? You also have this day? Hahaha..."
It was not until Cheng Ran uttered the word "die" in a cold voice that Xie Feibai calmed down a little and asked in a low voice, "Does Jiang Hongshao want to kill anyone?"
Cheng Ran was surprised, "Why does she want to kill someone?"
Xie Feibai just stammered, and finally laughed, "I originally thought she would be the first to hit you, but Lei Wei got there before she even made a move. Do you think she should take out a machine gun and start shooting?"
Cheng Ran said in a cold voice, "Get as far away as you can."
Although Xie Feibai usually keeps his distance from Jiang Hongshao, on the one hand, his family and hers are indeed two different systems with clear distinctions. Although Xie Feibai is fearless, his attitude towards Jiang Hongshao and even the family behind her is to keep a distance from them.
However, Xie Feibai, a tough guy, finally said, "I heard that the man who beat you was called Yuan Kui. What's the matter? Ma Hongyu, who flatters you and calls you 'boss', has a father who manages that area. I'll help give a lesson to that guy who claims to be the boss of Xihua Street. I promise that he will avoid you next time he sees you. Don't be moved by this. I'll help you in any way I can, but don't force 5% of the shares on me afterwards. You're looking down on me. Do we still have to talk about this between the two of us? I'm helping you vent a little. 1% is enough!"
Cheng Ran laughed out of anger, "Force it? I wouldn't force it on you even if I were to force it on a pig!"
Xie Feibai's tone suddenly changed, "Cheng Ran, it's pointless for you to insult me like this. Why did I agree to build the Tianxing Dojo in the first place? It was because I saw that you were working so hard and exhausted, so I was willing to come and help you. Do you think I came here so casually? I have so many things to do every day, so I don't put in any effort?"
"How about this? I'll give you the shares as a price and compensate you for all the money. You can also withdraw and save your energy?" Cheng Ran said with a smile.
"There's no rush for this matter. It's not serious yet." His tone suddenly changed. "By the way, I'd better go and help you beat up Yuan Kui. The key is that this kid is too jumpy. I don't allow such jumpy people under my nose, let alone the boss of Xihua Street..."
Cheng Ran asked, "You don't want one percent of the shares?"
"Didn't you hear what I said? I just don't like him, it has nothing to do with you. Don't always insult me with one percent of the shares. Of course, if you insist on doing so, I can't stop you... Haha, just kidding, am I, Xie Feibai, that kind of person?"
This was the conversation at the time. As to whether Yuan Kui, who was still in detention, was "cashed out" by Xie Feibai, it is unknown.
At the moment, Xie Feibai said on the other end of the phone, "In short, Lei Wei will be skinned alive this time. No matter who is behind this, it can be considered as getting rid of a nuisance, and it also vents the anger of your father's Fu Long and the slap you received. Let's just wait and see how it develops this time. But the information from my friends in the provincial compound is that it's hard to say. This Lei Wei has a very important background. Maybe the people around him have been arrested, and he can clear himself. The most important thing is that the source of his move is just a department-level cadre from another place, at most the director level. This is pushed from the bottom up, not from the top down, and the consequences are hard to predict."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Ran fell into deep thought. The phone rang again, and when he picked it up, a clear female voice came, "Cheng Ran?"
"Old ginger."
Jiang Hongshao said, "I heard from my father that your uncle got hold of Lei Wei's materials and went to the provincial department to request that a case be filed."
Cheng Bin mobilized and Gu Xiaojun controlled Lei Wei. Cheng Ran knew about this, but since it was during the operation, everyone remained silent on many things and did not disclose them.
Xie Feibai might be able to find out what is happening in Chengdu now through his family connections and various information channels, but he doesn't know the details.
However, as Jiang Hongshao's father Li Jingping was Cheng Bin's direct leader, he naturally knew about Cheng Bin's actions.
However, after hearing Jiang Hongshao's call, Cheng Ranxin felt a little relieved and asked tentatively, "What did your father say?" This was of course a window to learn about the current attitude of the upper class through Jiang Hongshao's words.
"What else can we do? The evidence is irrefutable. Shouldn't the bad guys get what they deserve? My dad supports your uncle's actions."
Cheng Ran knew how precious the words Jiang Hongshao revealed were.
Justice will not be late. It is easy to say, but it is difficult to implement, not to mention that in this world where everyone has their own goals, everyone has their own attitude and considerations towards things. Cheng Bin's behavior is a taboo in the officialdom. The problem lies in a situation that makes the senior officials in the relevant positions of the entire province "passive".
No leader wants to be forced by his subordinates into a pit of fire. If things go wrong, he will be pushed into taking advantage of others and being pushed into taking advantage of others. All the benefits are given by others, and he still gets into trouble.
In that position, one would be more likely to consider whether this was a trap set by someone with ulterior motives, in order to squeeze oneself out of that position or drag oneself into some factional struggle.
Even if Cheng Bin's behavior is to put the interests of the general public first and justice first, and even if he can defeat all criminals and win fame, in the end, he will probably be placed in a nominal position and become a mascot. Because there will always be people who worry whether there will be another earthquake-like "shock" next time.
Li Jingping himself is a small banner. He was able to stand up clearly and support Cheng Bin instead of keeping silent and sacrificing the car to save the driver. This in itself shows his backbone.
His statement is not dispensable. Those in the province who are on the same side as him must take a step forward and advance and retreat together.
"Does your father have a very bad impression of me?" Cheng Ran asked tentatively.
Jiang Hongshao smiled faintly over there, "Do you think you left a good impression on my dad? Why didn't you tell me when I caught you red-handed when you were taking the high school entrance exam? My dad thinks that if I hadn't been merciful and secretly tutored you, you wouldn't have been able to get into Shanhai No. 1 Middle School."
Cheng Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Have you ever explained it?"
"I've explained it," Lao Jiang said obediently, "It explains that you are smart, but you don't use your intelligence in the right way."
"You might as well not explain!" Cheng Ran was furious.
"Anyway, you've given up everything in my dad's place, so the impression you left is not a big deal," Jiang Hongshao paused, and then continued with words that made Cheng Ran excited, "After all, my dad is as gentle as jade. Don't be fooled by his stern face, he's not scary. The scary thing is my mom. I don't even dare to say a word to her now."
Cheng Ran's heart was pounding, "What's wrong?"
"Your uncle is now the commander of the task force. My mother was the first to bring up the idea at the provincial emergency meeting, against all odds. There was nothing she could do. She had never been put on the spot like this before, and she was furious... Anyway, I haven't bothered her at home in the past few days."
Cheng Ran rubbed his brows and began to feel a headache. He felt that he might offend a lot of people in the future, which would be more terrible than offending Lei Wei.
Jiang Hongshao said miserably, "But then again, it's not all because of you... After you were blocked at the school gate that day, I also talked to my mother about the safety of ordinary people. To some extent, both you and I are ordinary people. If this kind of behavior cannot be stopped, it was you last time, and maybe I will be the next time. She definitely doesn't want to see this lawless situation continue. So this time, we are pushing this matter forward, hoping that your uncle can do this matter thoroughly."
Cheng Ran felt warm in his heart. Although they were separated by the phone, he seemed to be able to feel the spring breeze of this girl in front of him. "Didn't you say at the time that you were just waiting and seeing?"
“I’m waiting now too.”
Jiang Hongshao smiled and said, "The proud plum blossom never blooms with its face up, only a man like this can be a hero. Cheng Ran... you and your uncle are great... keep it up!"
Cheng Ran praised, "Good poem. By the way, is there a friendship hug?"
“Go to hell!”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Hongshao covered her cheeks with her hands and then fanned herself as if she was burned.
Humph, you know.
