Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Bluffing the Tiger by Striking the Mountain
In an instant, Wang Shengli’s complexion underwent a massive change, his eyes widening as he looked at Ye Xunhuan with hurried breaths.
He had not at all expected Ye Xunhuan to actually intend to kill someone, let alone ask him for help.
Stunned, Wang Shengli was completely dumbfounded for a moment, somewhat at a loss.
After a long pause, Wang Shengli’s throat moved slightly as he said to Ye Xunhuan, "Ye... Young Master Ye, could you please tell me what exactly is going on?" 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Ye Xunhuan did not speak immediately but fell into silence.
Watching the silent Ye Xunhuan, Wang Shengli felt even more uneasy inside.
He truly did not understand what was happening, nor did he know who Ye Xunhuan wanted to kill.
But no matter who it was, it’s never appropriate to kill someone right in front of him, right?
After another long pause, Ye Xunhuan slowly began to speak, "Captain Wang, what if someone beats up residents and intends to force himself on a woman? What then?"
"Assaulting another person and causing serious injury warrants three to ten years of fixed-term imprisonment, and so does attempted rape," Wang Shengli, although not knowing why Ye Xunhuan asked this question, ultimately answered.
"And what if someone does these things while forcefully demolishing people’s homes?"
"This... this..." Wang Shengli was suddenly drenched in cold sweat.
He vaguely guessed something, but he didn’t dare to be certain!
"Speak!" Ye Xunhuan’s voice suddenly raised quite a bit.
"Direct sentencing, it should be life imprisonment!" Wang Shengli said through gritted teeth.
He knew that this was not the time for his own hesitation; he had to pick a side, and he had to choose correctly, else he might face a significant disaster.
Ye Xunhuan nodded in satisfaction and said nothing more to Wang Shengli; instead, he turned his head toward Li Zhaoming, who had come with Wang Shengli, and asked softly, "Are you his uncle?"
Li Zhaoming nodded dully.
"Will you help him?"
Li Zhaoming hurriedly shook his head like a rattle-drum; he wasn’t a fool and could clearly see that Ye Xunhuan was not someone he could afford to offend.
And he was about to retire soon; he definitely didn’t want any accidents to happen.
"I... I just came to check if this bastard has caused some trouble!" Li Zhaoming said harshly: "If he has, I will catch him myself!"
Li Zhaoming spoke with righteous indignation, putting on a show of virtue over familial ties.
But everyone was no fool; they were smart enough to know that Li Zhaoming was sacrificing the pawn to save the king!
Hearing Li Zhaoming’s words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Ye Xunhuan’s mouth, "Really?"
"Yes!" Li Zhaoming said forcefully: "I don’t know what the deal is with Li Dongli, please inform me, Young Master Ye?"
"If it’s his fault, then rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory explanation!"
"Uncle..."
"Shut up!" Li Zhaoming barked coldly.
Upon seeing Li Zhaoming’s grim expression, the words that Li Dongli had on the tip of his tongue slowly retreated back into his stomach.
"Sheltering others in forceful demolition, extorting resettlement fees..." Ye Xunhuan said coldly.
"You beast!" Li Zhaoming kicked Li Dongli, grinding his teeth and saying, "How could you commit such an outrageously mad act..."
Li Dongli was flabbergasted; he didn’t understand what was happening with Li Zhaoming—without even talking about it with Ye Xunhuan, he began to beat him up.
"Young Master Ye, rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory resolution to this matter," Li Zhaoming promised earnestly!
"Good, I will trust you this once; I want to see the results within three days," Ye Xunhuan stated firmly: "If I don’t see the results, you will bear the consequences!"
Li Zhaoming nodded hastily and assured, "Don’t worry, Young Master Ye, it won’t take three days; tomorrow will be sufficient!"
Then, Li Zhaoming said to Wang Shengli, "Captain Wang, please take him away later."
"Take him away!" Wang Shengli immediately issued the order!
"Uncle, Uncle..."
"I don’t have a nephew who commits crimes like you," Li Zhaoming was fuming at this point.
Do you want to have me killed, don’t you see how Wang Shengli is acting toward Ye Xunhuan?
That’s practically groveling!
You want me to go up against him? Isn’t that just asking for death?
"Young Master Ye, I didn’t recognize Mount Tai and offended you; please just consider me as nothing more than a fart and let me go..."
"Let you go?" Ye Xunhuan sneered: "From the moment you touched Yu Rou, your fate was sealed!"
"Young Master Ye, it was him, it was him..." Wang Weimin directly pointed at Li Zihua and said: "It was his idea, everything was his idea; I was bewitched by him and had my mind clouded..."
Wang Shengli’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ordered, "Come here, take all of them away, bring them back!"
Following Wang Shengli’s orders, these people were all apprehended and taken away.
After all the people had been taken away, Wang Shengli bid farewell to Ye Xunhuan.
He didn’t want to stay here for a minute longer; he didn’t know why, but standing in front of Ye Xunhuan, he felt like he was standing before a wolf, filled with fear inside.
Ye Xunhuan nodded in satisfaction.
Wang Shengli didn’t dare to say anything else and left immediately.
Little Jiu watched Wang Shengli and the others leave and then slowly said to Ye Xunhuan, "Brother Huan, why let them go, they..."
"Don’t you think that after this incident, it will spread throughout Jiangzhong City that I see who else dares to try to mess with Yu Rou!"
What he wanted wasn’t just to kill, but also to strike awe!
