Chapter 66: The Unassailable Ones

The Municipal Discipline Inspection Committee? This must be a mix-up. Secretary Xu was taken aback, seeing all the Public Security Bureau personnel gathered by Lin Yongzeng. At this moment, he wanted to intervene and ask why they were retreating.

However, at this moment, Zhou Ye had already started to stride towards the house ahead.

Inside the house, young Xu once again heard the police sirens outside and burst into a hearty laugh. He looked at Nie Zhenbang, quite smugly saying, “Ha ha, listen to that sound, reinforcements are coming. They must be the elite police from the city. If you don’t let me go, I won’t bother to recognize what I said earlier.”

At this time, Zhou Ye spoke respectfully from outside, “Is anyone in there? I am Zhou Ye, the son of Zhou Taiping, the Deputy Secretary of the Hulun City Committee. I’m here under Governor Liang’s orders. Could you open the door for me?”

Next to him, Xu Tianci heard Zhou Ye’s words and immediately burst into laughter, his triumph and arrogance blatantly evident. As the scion of Eguna city, a county-level city under Hulun city, Xu Tianci spent most of his time in Eguna city. However, he was also very familiar with Hulun City and had quite a few dealings with Zhou Ye.

Right after that, Xu Tianci loudly said, “Brother Zhou, it’s me, Tianci. I am inside. Brother Zhou, I am sorry to have disturbed you. Once we’re out, you must give me a chance to show you my hospitality.”

While speaking, Xu Tianci seemed quite self-satisfied, boasting, “Well, I never expected my uncle to have such deep connections and influence in the province. Had I known this, I wouldn’t have worried at all.”

Long glanced at Nie Zhenbang and Liu Kun. At this moment, upon hearing Zhou Ye’s words, Liu Kun realized that this was Liang Ligui’s man. He then nodded and said, “Long, open the door. There should be no danger now.”

As the door opened, Xu Tianci finally struggled to his feet. With a face full of anticipation, he was about to speak to Zhou Ye, his face filled with smiles.

However, contrary to his expectations, Zhou Ye scanned the room, his eyes finally falling on Nie Zhenbang and Liu Kun. As he tried to hide his surprise, he asked politely, “May I ask, who is Mr. Nie?”

Nie Zhenbang was also evaluating Zhou Ye, noticing that this man, around one meter seventy tall, seemed more like a southerner in body type and personality. Unlike the northeners, he was neither rough nor irritable, but gentle and composed. This level of excellence wasn’t confined to big family scions. While considering this, Nie Zhenbang stood up, revealing a subtle smile and replied, “I am the one. I apologize for the inconvenience this time, Mr.

Zhou.”

At this moment, Zhou Ye was also examining Nie Zhenbang, who even under these circumstances managed to maintain an air of grace and calmness. This kind of mental strength was not something everybody possessed. Moreover, openly opposing the state’s law enforcement was either an act of a madman or someone with exceptional background and resources. This kind of scenario would be insignificant in his eyes.

Thinking about Young Master Liang’s hurried demeanor and the fact that he was rushing here with the Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, Xing Weiguo, Zhou Ye was puzzled.

Zhou Ye did not believe that Young Master Liang could summon a deputy at the bureau level. It would be possible if it were officials from a city bureau or a department director from the provincial department. But mobilizing bureau-level officials was a serious matter. Even if Young Master Liang was the son of a governor, there were protocols to be followed even for Governor Liang himself.

Considering this, Zhou Ye became more respectful and courteously said, “Mr. Nie, I’m really sorry. I apologize for the discomfort you’ve experienced in my district. Young Master Liang is on his way from the provincial city, how about we first move to Hulun City, what do you think?”

Nie Zhenbang glanced at Li Lixue, her face full of hope. Nie Zhenbang knew very well what Li Lixue was thinking. After all, her brother was still in prison, serving sentence for some ludicrous hooligan crime.

Looking at Zhou Ye, Nie Zhenbang found the guy rather interesting. This youngster was quite brave with pretty clear implications in his words. In his domain, despite Mr. Nie suffering discomfort and having Young Master Liang’s backing, local sentiments needed to be considered. Staying here would not only cause embarrassment but certain things would also be difficult for Zhou Ye to manage.

“Kun, do we leave?” But at this moment, Nie Zhenbang was intentionally staying. Li Lixue’s brother being imprisoned was no small matter, and everything was decided by the court’s verdict. To overturn it, even with Zhou Ye’s status, success wasn’t guaranteed. The best way to handle these matters was to escalate them, to cause enough of a stir that Hulun City’s leadership team would have to get involved. Then it would be time to negotiate.

Liu Kun’s eyes turned slightly, and he sat down with a carefree attitude, shaking his head and saying, “Brother, are you slapping me in the face? If we leave like this, we might as well quit running around in this city. Today, we must wait until Young Master Liang personally comes here to see what kind of trouble we’re in.”

Seeing Liu Kun intentionally playing dumb, Nie Zhenbang started laughing as well. “Alright, since you’ve said that, Kun, then we won’t leave.”

At this moment, Zhou Ye’s face darkened. From childhood till now, no one had ever openly disrespected him. Even Young Master Liang, who was the governor’s son, addressed him warmly because they grew up like brothers. But at this moment, with Nie Zhenbang and Liu Kun ganging up, Zhou Ye was left in an extremely awkward predicament.

His face turned crimson, his lips moved several times as he tried to suppress his anger. Then he managed a forced smile, “Since you want to wait, then please wait, Mr. Nie. I believe Young Master Liang will be here soon.”

Liang Ligui moved pretty quickly. As soon as he got the call, he immediately contacted the Caoyuan Province Military District using Governor Liang’s connection. The military district immediately dispatched a helicopter. After a little over an hour’s flight, the aircraft was now hovering over Enluo Township.

The whole day had been strange for the fewer than two-thousand residents of Enluo Township. First, Li Lixue, the township’s famed beauty who had been away for many years, came back. Then, they were treated to a spectacle of a police siege. After that, the police from Hulun City seemingly apprehended the city police from Eguna. Not long after, a helicopter began circling overhead.

“My word, Evelina knows some important people indeed. So many people, such a commotion, it seems Xu has offended someone powerful,” a knowledgeable middle-aged man whispered.

A woman beside him quickly covered his mouth, scolding him in a hushed voice, “Hush! Watch your words, you might jinx it.”

At that time, another convoy rolled onto the street. Vehicles with Hulun City license plates led the convoy, the plates numbered from one to five in order. Vehicles from Eguna City trailed behind.

Zhou Ye looked quite moody on the lawn in front of Li Lixue’s house. By now, Liang Ligui and Xing Weiguo had descended from the aircraft’s rope ladder.

After the aircraft left, Zhou Ye went up to greet them. Lin Yongzeng, standing nearby, saluted Xing Weiguo, saying, “Greetings, General. Lin Yongzeng, from Hulun City Bureau of Public Security, reporting for duty.”

“Old Xing, what’s going on here? What’s with the commotion?” At this moment, the crowd parted to provide a path for a middle-aged man in his fifties, who walked in from outside.

The middle-aged man was Cao Houan, a standing committee member of Hulun Municipal Party Committee and its General Secretary. As the leader of one of the largest cities in the country, or even the world, Cao held significant prestige even within the provincial party.

Upon receiving several calls from the provincial government indicating that Governor Liang’s son, Liang Ligui, and Xing Weiguo were visiting, Cao immediately gathered his staff and came over here.

But Cao was not one of Governor Liang’s allies. He was more aligned with the current Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, who was formerly the Executive Deputy Governor. He was not satisfied with how Governor Liang outplayed him to snatch the governorship.

As he entered, his tone was not very friendly, his words carrying an edge. Even though it appeared he was addressing Xing Weiguo, his words were a thinly veiled attack on Governor Liang.

But Liang Ligui was no fool. Hearing this, he immediately huffed, commenting, “Secretary Cao, I am Liang Ligui. I heard from Zhou Ye that our guest from Beijing has yet to come out. Instead of venting, you should think about how to handle this situation properly..”
