Chapter 446 The Inside Story

In the wildly swirling dust, Ding Ning stood without injury, calm and proud.

“Grunt!”

Everyone swallowed their saliva in unison, looking like they had met a ghost. “Is he a real f*cking human?”

Incredulously, he hit the farm vehicle a few meters back with his body, but he was not injured at all.

Looking at the farm vehicle’s front again, they found that it seemed to have just been bombed. A stream of coldness rushed all the way to their head, their legs seemed to become softer and softer, and they all had one idea, “I’ve seen a ghost in broad daylight.”

Ding Ning’s head and face were covered with dust, but he gave a ferocious smile and boldly exposed his killing intention in his eyes. “All these people should die.”

“Ghost, ghost!”

The strong man with a mole on his face shrilled miserably, scrambled down his farm vehicle, and ran insanely.

It was not a joke. A vehicle could not kill the man, so why did they stay? Did they wish to die?

His shrill was like a horn sound for escape, and the rest five strong men screamed madly to all directions. They dared to kill a human, but how could they dare to kill a ghost? More terribly, this ghost walked in daytime.

“Want to leave? Too late!”

With a sneer, Ding Ning kicked the gravel on the ground, and dust rose.

After the dust disappeared, the six strong men all lay face down on the ground. Dead or alive, it was a question.

In the Toyota Prado, Erwang, whose arrogant smile suddenly stiffened on his face, trembled all over and did not even realize that the cigarette had burned his fingers and its long ash had fallen to the car’s floor. Scared, he had wetted himself.

Being pale, Gouwa trembled from head to toe and asked in a crying tone, “Brother Erwang, what, what should, should we do?”

“Go, go… quick, quick… go quickly…”

Erwang’s teeth chattered as he stammered, and Ding Ning’s horrifying ability had scared them shitless.

The driver was a young man in his early 20s, and he trembled as he started the car. Although he stepped on the accelerator as hard as he could, the car just turned on the spot but did not move.

“What, what’s wrong…Why, why not… go now?”

So anxious, Erwang almost cried, and then he yelled.

“I, I can’t, can’t move! Are we… Are we being held, held by the ghost?”

The driver put on a long face and wailed sadly, scared shitless.

“F*ck you, Cao Jian, you haven’t let go of the handbrake, so how can we go?”

After all, Erwang had greater experiences. After forcing himself to calm down and taking a careful check, he shouted at Cao Jian angrily.

“Oh, oh… Let, let me move now.”

Pleased, Cao Jian returned to normal. “Oh, I forgot to let the handbrake go.” Instantly, he pulled down the handbrake, ready to step on the accelerator to escape.

“Want to leave after watching the fun? Is there anything so nice like this?”

A sinister voice suddenly sounded in his ears. The car’s key was taken, and the car stalled.

Rising his head, Cao Jian found that a dusty face was in front of him, and the man’s breath had reached his face, making him scream with “oh, my God” and then faint.

Ding Ning touched his face speechlessly. “I am very handsome, am I not? Am I so scary?”

“Rattle, rattle… Big, big, big, big brother… Rattle, rattle… It’s none, none of my business… Rattle, rattle, rattle…I am… a passer-by… Rattle, rattle, rattle…Yeah, right, right, right…I am, am a passer-by.”

Erwang was so scared that his soul seemed to have left him. His teeth chattered, making a series of rattles, and he stammered.

“Right, right, right, right, big, big brother, we, we are only… passers-by.”

Forcing a flattering smile that was uglier than a crying expression, Gouwa nodded and bowed to echo.

“Oh, this is the case!”

Ding Ning pretended he had just found the truth. Instantly, Erwang and Gouwa became surprised and delighted and nodded repetitively.

“But why did I hear that your so-called Brother Qiu wanted to kill me? You also wanted to take my friend to him. You are really bold, aren’t you?”

With ridicule in his eyes, Ding Ning grabbed Erwang’s hair and patted his cheek bathed in sweat.

I”I, I was wrong, big brother. This is what Brother Qiu asked me to do. It’s none of my business, for I’m only an errand runner…”

Frightened out of his wits, Erwang immediately confessed every detail in a slave-to-his lord manner.

The truth was that Erwang was the son of Bailong Town’s Town Governor. In this area, he had been domineering and committing evil acts until several years ago he met someone much more powerful, who gave him a good beating. This one was Brother Qiu he spoke of.

Brother Qiu, whose real name was Zhang Shiqiu and who was the son of Zhang Changshun, the Deputy District Director of Haidong District, was a typical offspring of an official and a playboy, serving as a master of extravagant dining and drinking, whoring, and gambling and doing all kinds of evil deeds.

He and Erwang became acquaintances after the beating. Since they had the same bad interest, they exchanged ideas and fooled around together. Then, they assembled the top punks of different towns and lived the life of underworld gangs.

Zhang Changshun was a Bailong Town local. Although he doted on this son, he was still an official and needed to save face. Yet, by relying on his power, his only son made trouble and went to show off and cheat outside all the time. That was a serious headache for him.

After District Director Yang Zhiyong was transferred here, the typical trouble appeared. Initially, it was hard for Mr. Yang to get a firm foothold amid the local forces, but he forced Zhang Changshun to bend his back several times with Zhang Shiqiu’s mistakes. After that, Mr. Yang got a firm foothold and made many achievements.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Changshun became quite gloomy. Since Yang Zhiyong had evidence about his disappointing son’s mistakes, he had to draw close to Yang Zhiyong. As a result, he was also ostracized by the local cadres.

Later, Zhang Shiqiu’s father Zhang Changshun asked his son to go home and chatted with him, and he repented his previous wrongdoings and decided to do serious business. Hence, taking the initiative of the punks under his leadership, he opened this gluten factory.

Zhang Changshun was quite relieved, thinking that his son had finally made achievements and didn’t bring him trouble anymore. Thus, he yielded to nearly every of his son’s wishes and helped him contact government personnel to make all kinds of conveniences until all procedures of the gluten factory were handled. In addition, he also used his interpersonal relationships to help him persuade the retail sellers from different peddlers’ markets to sell his products.

In less than a year, the gluten supply of all the peddlers’ markets and hotels in Haidong District was monopolized by Zhang Shiqiu. Of course, not all the means he used were that aboveboard.

As his business thrived, the gluten supply became a little inadequate to the demand. Zhang Shiqiu saw its huge benefits and he also excessively squandered his money, so he decided to open branch factories to increase production.

As a very mean accountant, Zhang Shiqiu was unwilling to invest much money and simply decided to open his branch factories in the villages. After giving each village committee some profits, renting a patch of land, and hiring several peasants, he could open a branch factory.

This gluten factory in Haitang Village, one of his thirty gluten factories, was a newly-established factory. The reason why Gouwa was appointed as the factory director was that he was the head of the village’s local punks and Erwang’s subordinate.

It was hot in the summer, and keeping the gluten fresh was a big problem. Sometimes, as soon as the gluten was carried to the market, it rotted. No matter how much the peddlers feared him, they could not accept it.

For Zhang Shiqiu who was lavish with his money, this was absolutely unacceptable, but he was unwilling to purchase refrigerated cars and related equipment, so he came up with the idea of using hydrogen peroxide to maintain the gluten surface’s freshness and luster.

Those merchants knew it, but since they did not dare to offend him, they had to brace themselves to receive the goods and sell them without conscience.

However, there were always those unhappy merchants, who would make some complaints. Gradually, the news was spread, but ordinary people would not take the hearsay seriously, and no one would care about it.

The speakers didn’t have any other intention, but the hearers had. It happened that Zhao Chenxi wanted to do a social practice investigation and then followed traces of evidence to further explore this case, and she happened to find the underground workshop, so the scene of today appeared.

Zhao Chenxi came over and gritted her teeth silently. Thinking of today’s experience, she couldn’t wait to give Zhang Shiqiu a good beating.

Ding Ning gradually knitted his brows and went furious in his mind. “The thirty gluten factories’ daily production was beyond measure.”

“The gluten soaked in hydrogen peroxide has been sold and eaten by numerous people and must have done unpredictable harm to their health. It is so dreadful to think about it.”

He had long expected that there must be a backer for this underground workshop, but he did not expect that the deputy district director’s son was behind the scenes.

No wonder the police had not come so far since he called them. Instead, three farm vehicles hurriedly came with an intention to kill him. This proved that Zhang Shiqiu also realized that once such an affair was exposed, even his father could not tear himself out of it. Through his relationships, he stopped the police but sent his men to kill the caller. How cruel and lawless!

This was the territory of Haidong District, which was equivalent to the territory of Zhang Changshun. After all, even when District Director Yang Zhiyong wanted to take a firm foothold, he had to use Zhang Shiqiu’s mistakes to threaten Zhang Changshun. This proved his incredibly powerful influence in this area.

He believed that even if Yang Zhiyong knew such a thing, he might not be able to solve it perfectly, so he had to ask a higher-level leader to deal with it.

As he pondered over it, Ding Ning knocked Erwang and Gouwa out, took out his cellphone, and dialed a number. “Brother Xu, I’m Ding Ning, and I have something to report to you.”

“Brother, I’m going to call you later. Thank you for helping Mayor Du again. Now you’re famous and have appeared on the hot search list again.”

Xu Minglu was high spirited. “The driver who caused the accident has been out of danger after the rescue. Mayor Du has given him strict protection. When he wakes up, he will ask him carefully, and this will be regarded as the breakthrough of this major accident.”

Ding Ning suddenly became clear after hearing Xu Minglu’s explanation about the details, but he was curious how Xu Minglu knew he had saved the driver.

Xu Minglu said with a smile, “A girl recorded the entire rescue process and sent the video to a reporter from a TV station before leaving. Then, I knew it.”

Without knowing whether to cry or laugh, Ding Ning looked at Zhao Chenxi, who raised her head and looked proud. He really didn’t want to be famous, but when he remembered that the Mermaid Totem was still waiting for waking up through his reputation improvement, he just let it be.

“Don’t try to gloat. I was not trying to improve your reputation, and I only thought it was a nuisance for me.”

Zhao Chenxi pursed her lips and muttered. As a car owner of the rear-end collision accident, she was stopped by a reporter on the scene to inquire about the accident. When she saw Ding Ning leaving, she sent the video that recorded the whole accident to that reporter in a hurry.

“Brother, being famous is good, but as your elder brother, I still want to remind you that some people involved are not kind this time, so you must pay attention to your own safety.”

Xu Minglu whispered his reminder, and his worry was obvious.

Ding Ning quickly understood that the driver who caused the accident was obviously a man of sacrifice employed by the culprit behind the scenes, and he was also the key to the entire major traffic accident. This key figure should have died long ago. Even if Mayor Du had known that someone wanted to deal with him, he would have no evidence for the investigation.

But now Ding Ning appeared unexpectedly. Coincidentally, he saved the man of sacrifice, providing Mayor Du with a chance to fight back.

Under such circumstances, when the culprit behind the scenes realized that the supposed flawless plan had a flaw, how could the person not hate Ding Ning to the bones?

It was conceivable that the culprit behind the scenes was very likely to deal with Ding Ning who destroyed his plan because, in order to deal with Mayor Du, he took human lives as nothing valuable.

But would Ding Ning be afraid? Obviously, he would not fear and would even strongly wish that the culprit behind the scenes would come to deal with him. If so, he could take the opportunity to kick the person out.
