Chapter 1146 1106: I'll Come Arrest You in Half an Hour

"Xu Laojiu, what's gotten into you?" Yuan Bing was startled by the fierce appearance of the man who had just arrived and snapped coldly.

"Brother Bing, it's not that I've gone mad, it's that guy who's really gone too far! I only have one son, and now he's dead, isn't that cutting off my lineage?" The man in the Tang suit with glasses, whom Yuan Bing referred to as 'Xu Laojiu,' still had an extremely hideous expression. He only had Xu Jun as his son, and now that he's dead, how could he stay calm?

"Enough... The immediate priority is to drag that bastard out. Who the hell did this, showing neither me, Yuan Bing, nor you, Xu Laojiu, any respect? This isn't over!" Yuan Bing paused, speaking sinisterly.

Although his son hadn't died, the doctors said that because of the immense stress and head trauma, there was a ninety percent chance he would become a vegetable!

So, his feelings were quite akin to Xu Laojiu's right now, just that he didn't express them... If he found out who, the bastard who did this, he wouldn't kill the man personally, throwing him into the sea to feed the sharks, would be odd!

"Beep beep~" Just then, the phone in Yuan Bing's bag suddenly rang.

"Who is it?" He irritably took out the phone, not even looking at the caller ID, and answered directly.

"Yo, speaking so tough, aren't we? You're Yuan Bing from the Tianhong Group, right?" But on the other end of the phone came a mocking and sarcastic voice, sounding like a rogue soldier.

"You ba—... Who are you?" Yuan Bing's expression changed upon hearing this and said.

"Yuan, you're quite the forgetful person, huh? What, your son just caused such a big mess, and you've forgotten already?" The voice continued teasingly.

"You, it's you? Are you the one who did this to my son?" Hearing this, Yuan Bing took a deep breath, his face turning vicious, thinking the person on the phone was the one responsible for his son's condition.

"Me? If it was really me, I wouldn't waste my breath on scum like your son, I'd have chopped him first! But if that were the case, you could stay out of trouble, but now, tsk tsk..."

The voice, carrying a hint of sympathy, with a cold laugh, said, "I'm calling to give you a heads up, in half an hour, I'm coming to Chengyang to catch you! And also that Xu Laojiu... ugh, what a lousy name. If you dare to run, feel free to try. That's it then... beep beep, beep beep~"

Damn it! Only when the busy tone beeped in his ear did Yuan Bing snap back from his anger, furiously throwing the phone at the wall with a bang.

Smashed to pieces!

"Damn it, who do you think you are, daring to come to Chengyang to catch me, Yuan Bing? You think you're the Almighty King? I'll tell you, in my presence, I'd blow your brains out first!"

Yuan Bing was almost insane with anger, roaring into the air.

In fact, he was initially somewhat wary. This person dared to make a move knowing Yuan Shaojie was his son and Xu Jun was Xu Laojiu's grandson, so there must be some backing! But even so, this didn't mean he, Yuan Bing, was scared.

After all, as the wealthiest person in Chengyang County, the CEO of the top local enterprise, even that County Secretary, Liao Hua, would have to show him respect.

At least on the surface, it's absolutely so!

And besides, he had the backing of the city's Vice Mayor.

Vice Mayor Zhou Zhuo of Northern Mountain City was his backing, Yuan Bing's support!

Even though he knew Zhou Zhuo was the least ranked in power among the city's several vice mayors! But a vice mayor is still a vice mayor, and for those in a county like them, that's already sky-high.

Yet he didn't know that his backer, Vice Mayor Zhou Zhuo, had been in that position for four or five years without any movement, almost like forgotten... apparently was because of someone back then.

Indeed, this Vice Mayor Zhou Zhuo was the one who competed with Huang Tao for the position of Mayor of Northern Mountain City, and was a direct lineage of Secretary Mo Cheng.

But after Secretary Mo fell from power, Zhou Zhuo lost his support entirely, and any hope of promotion was gone. However, it was unexpectedly found that he was clean, and he was a capable worker, so he stayed in that position until now...

Back then, it was because his boss got on Chen Fei's bad side, which led to terrible luck, and now his subordinates messed with Chen Fei again. If he knew, who knows what his expression would be, but it would definitely be quite a show!

And clearly, Yuan Bing didn't expect that picking up a random call, the other party would be so cocky?

With his son's incident adding up, his face turned livid with anger, the suppressed arrogance finally bursting like a volcano.

"Brother Bing, what happened? Whose call was it, why are you so enraged?" Xu Laojiu couldn't help but ask.

"Damn it, don't mention it, it's a lunatic! He said he'll bring people to Chengyang to catch us in half an hour, I'm frigging interested to see who's so badass to come to Chengyang and mess with us?" Yuan Bing roared menacingly.

However, upon hearing this, Xu Laojiu's face involuntarily changed dramatically, the previous viciousness vanished, and then, with a cautious and solemn expression, he said, "B-Brother Bing, could those two kids really have provoked some big shot?"

Yuan Bing's eye twitched suddenly and he calmed down, looking at Xu Laojiu in silence for a long time.

Previously he was just furious, and his mind didn't quite catch up, but now, if someone dared to talk to him like that, no matter how dumb he was, he had to feel something was off.

Could those two brats really have messed with some big shot?

"Damn it! I, Yuan Bing, don't buy into this nonsense, big shot? How big can he be? With Vice Mayor Zhou backing me, who am I afraid of!?"

Feeling wronged, Yuan Bing roared, but still couldn't resist reaching out to Xu Laojiu to say, "Lend me your phone."

"Oh, okay!" Xu Laojiu took out his phone.

Yuan Bing took the phone and dialed the number he had memorized in his mind.

"Hello, this is Zhou Zhuo, who is this?" After a moment, the phone connected, and Zhou Zhuo's puzzled voice came through the receiver. The call was from an unfamiliar number, but this was his private phone.

"Hello, Mayor Zhou, it's me, I'm Xiao Bing. Yuan Bing from Tianhong Group," Yuan Bing quickly said.

"Oh, it's Yuan Bing? What's going on, did you change your phone... What do you need from me?" On the other end, Zhou Zhuo suddenly understood and asked.

"No, it's not a change of phone... Anyway, Mayor Zhou, I've encountered some trouble here and I need your help, it's like this..."

Zhou Zhuo briefly explained the situation involving his son and Xu Laojiu's son to Zhou Zhuo, then emphasized the call before he spoke, "Mayor Zhou, the other party seems so bold, I want you to investigate whether it's a higher-level or city-level action..."

"Is there really such a thing?" Zhou Zhuo frowned on the other end of the line, feeling exasperated. They hurt people so badly, one dead, one vegetative, and now they still want to go further and arrest people; this is somewhat too arrogant.

It's unclear who was it that made the call, are they really that powerful? After all, the richest person in a county isn't someone you can just arrest, even he Zhou Zhuo himself doesn't have that ability and authority now.

If the other side truly has such intimidating power, this is not something to be taken lightly...

"Hello, hello Mayor Zhou, are you listening?" Yuan Bing said quite a lot, but Zhou Zhuo had zoned out and didn't respond, causing Yuan Bing to call out a few times.

"Oh, hmm... yes, I'm listening. I'll make a call now to inquire before saying more."

Zhou Zhuo replied.

"Alright. Mayor Zhou, I'll be waiting for your news," Yuan Bing hung up the phone.

On the other side, in his own study, Zhou Zhuo rubbed his forehead with some headache, murmuring, "Who should I ask about this?"

In fact, just hearing Yuan Bing's description, his sharp intuition told him this matter was quite unusual, but Yuan Bing was crucial within his personal network, losing him easily would be a great pity...

Ding ding, ding ding ding... But at this moment his phone rang again, giving him a shock.

"Who, who?" Seeing the caller ID showing another unfamiliar number, Zhou Zhuo felt an inexplicable pang in his heart, his fingers trembled as he picked up the phone and pressed the answer key.

"Hello, Vice Mayor Zhou Zhuo?" As soon as the call was connected, a casual voice rang out, strikingly similar to the one that had called Yuan Bing.

"Who are you? How do you have my private number?"

Zhou Zhuo was stunned, unable to help but ask coldly.

"Who am I? Heh, do you know Flying Leopard?" The apathetic laughter sounded from the other end.

"Wh-what? You're from Flying Leopard?" As soon as the words from the other end dropped, on this end, Zhou Zhuo reacted as if his bottom was on fire. He jumped up from his seat anxiously, face full of panic, even exclaimed out loud.

Others may not know what 'Flying Leopard' represents, but Zhou Zhuo, as the Vice Mayor of Northern Mountain City, in such a high position, definitely knows!

That's a special department spanning the Three Provinces of Lingnan, more overwhelming than the office of the provincial leaders. Even he, Zhou Zhuo, as Vice Mayor, is completely insignificant in front of that department!

Suddenly, Zhou Zhuo couldn't help but shudder, then his eyes trembled with horror, "You-you monitored Yuan Bing's phone? Th-they must have provoked you Flying Leopard, right?"

If that's the case, why bother making a call to inquire? Honestly staying far away would indeed be smart...

"Hmm, we did monitor his phone, but you've guessed only half correctly. That misfortunate fool didn't provoke our Flying Leopard but annoyed the Chief Instructor of Flying Leopard, Lord Chen Fei!"

The person chuckled playfully.

"Wh-what?"

This time, Zhou Zhuo completely jumped up from his seat as if his rear end was on fire, the expression on his face changed drastically, trembling as he stammered, "This matter, this matter has got nothing to do with me, I just received a call... I-I know nothing, know nothing..."

"Best if you don't know, if you do know, then we might have to invite you to come drink tea with us Flying Leopard, do you understand?" The person said with a hearty laugh, but Zhou Zhuo really couldn't laugh.

"I understand, I understand... Oh no, no! I don't know, I know nothing!"

It was as if Zhou Zhuo had lost his mind, babbling incoherently.

"Hehe, we'll leave it at that then," the person chuckled and hung up the phone.

Bang!

The phone in Zhou Zhuo's hand was directly smashed to the ground and shattered due to his trembling.

"Damn, damn it, almost got killed by that idiot Yuan Bing! Thankfully, really thankfully..."

Zhou Zhuo muttered with a face full of lingering fear, pale-faced.

Meanwhile, Yuan Bing's call to Zhou Zhuo couldn't get through at all.
