Seeing Xiao Xue pinching her nose, Lin Chuan teased, "Why are you pinching your nose? Is there so kind of strange sll here?"
"More than strange, it's simply stinky to high heaven." Xiao Xue huffed.
"Ha ha..." Lin Chuan laughed heartily.
At this mont, Xiao Xue asked with concern, "Lin Chuan, you might need to be more careful these days."
"Why?" Lin Chuan asked.
"It might not be peaceful lately." Xiao Xue looked worriedly at Lin Chuan, "With things having blown up to this extent, if it escalates to the provincial capital or even central governnt, I'm afraid even Secretary Tang won't be able to protect you."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Lin Chuan said with a smile, "I'm a guy who stands tall and pees."
"You!" Xiao Xue frowned, "You're just too crude. If you could be more gentlemanly, wouldn't that be nice?"
"Ha ha ha." Lin Chuan laughed, "Like Bai Yifan, a sissy?"
"Not a sissy, Mr. Bai is sunshine and handso," Xiao Xue pouted her red lips.
"And what about ?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.
"You're crude, but manly enough," Xiao Xue said with a laugh.
"Then do you like or soone like Bai Yifan?" Lin Chuan asked with a grin.
"Ah?!" Xiao Xue imdiately froze, her face turned red and she lowered her head, "I... I definitely like soone like you."
Lin Chuan was stunned, he didn't dare to continue asking, it seed he had already understood sothing.
Fortunately, they soon arrived at Tang Yung's office and both of them rushed in. Xiao Xue closed the door from the outside. Lin Chuan looked at her with a grin and then said, "Sis, you wanted to see ?"
"Of course, I needed to see you," Tang Yung said with a displeased look, "You've caused trouble, how could I not look for you?"
"Where have I caused trouble?" Lin Chuan asked in astonishnt.
"Still pretending you haven't?" Tang Yung threw the newspaper she was holding at him, "Look at this, the way you guys fought was so fierce, the energy you had in the fight so mighty, even the police weren't your match, and you even dared to hit the dia reporters. You guys really think you're invincible, truly reckless."
"Sis, don't scare ," Lin Chuan chuckled, "You officials always speak so diplomatically. When you put it so seriously, my little heart can't take it."
Pfft...
Tang Yung suddenly burst into laughter at Lin Chuan's words, unable to contain it.
However, Tang Yung quickly regained her stern expression, she looked angrily at Lin Chuan, "You jerk, aren't you afraid at all?"
"What am I afraid of?" Lin Chuan frowned, "Let them make a big deal out of it, I'm not afraid."
"You're not afraid, but I am!" Tang Yung frowned, "If you get arrested, what am I supposed to do? Are you suggesting that I wait for you for ten years? Or twenty years? By that ti, I'll be old and faded."
"Sis, don't worry, it won't happen," Lin Chuan smiled, "There really isn't anyone who dares to arrest ."
"You!" Tang Yung thought Lin Chuan was being stubborn. Frowning, she said, "You jerk, the City Committee dares to arrest you, but what about the Provincial Committee? The central governnt? Aren't you afraid they might deploy ard police or the military?"
"!" Lin Chuan didn't know how to explain to Tang Yung, or what to say. After thinking for a bit, he smiled and said, "Sis, if sothing happens to , or I'm in danger, please don't worry about and don't intervene to help , alright?"
"I can't do that." Tang Yung shook her head.
"Sis, I don't want you to worry about ." Lin Chuan took Tang Yung's hand and smiled, "I know you love , you're worried about , you don't want anything to happen to , but I even more don't want to implicate you, I don't want to drag you into this. Because I also love you, I love you deeply. I only want to use my life to protect you. Not to make you protect . A man's hands are ant to cherish a woman, not to have a woman protecting him."
Lin Chuan's heartfelt declaration imdiately touched Tang Yung.
"Lin Chuan, I'm really worried about you," Tang Yung threw herself into Lin Chuan's arms, "I'm really scared that one day I won't be able to protect you, I'm afraid that with my limited abilities, I won't be able to keep you safe. Do you understand?"
"Of course, I understand." Lin Chuan embraced Tang Yung, "Sis, do you believe in ?"
"I believe." Tang Yung nodded right away.
"Alright, then trust , no matter what happens to , I absolutely won't be in trouble." Lin Chuan looked at Tang Yung earnestly.
"I really want to trust you, but I can't." Tang Yung shook her head.
After all, the human heart is made of flesh, and Lin Chuan is her man, how could she just watch Lin Chuan being arrested, apprehended, and locked up without intervening or abandoning him? Obviously, that was sothing Tang Yung found impossible to do.
"Then..." Lin Chuan thought for a mont and said, "In that case, try not to take action. I'll find a way to resolve it myself, okay?"
"I'll try my best." Tang Yung nodded.
Lin Chuan couldn't help but laugh, then said, "That's more like it."
"But today, a comrade from the Provincial Committee called about your matter." Tang Yung was still anxious and said, "It seems that the higher-ups are planning to rectify Feixiang Company, so you, you need to be careful."
"This..." Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
"How will you handle it?" Tang Yung couldn't help but reprimand him, saying, "The sa way you deal with the people from the City Committee? I'm afraid you'll bite off more than you can chew."
"Hehe..." Lin Chuan chuckled, not because he had no solution, but because he didn't want Tang Yung to worry.
In the shadows, various forces were at work, with almost everyone flaunting their influence brazenly. Nearly all deliberately regarded Lin Chuan as a local strongman, a villain, an evil-doer capable of any atrocity. Wave after wave of dia hype, and the local public security departnts, police stations, also conducted exercises targeting local strongn one after another.
Of course, the unluckiest were those from Jiangbei City, such as low-level hoodlums who gathered a few people to form their own gangs and swindled and cheated everywhere, causing many to suffer terribly. These individuals quickly beca the focus of the crackdown exercises.
At the police station, Song Hao led a group of police officers to carry out severe crackdowns in the eastern district of Jiangbei City, with several villains being arrested nearly every day, either for extortion or for robbery and rape. In the end, all the dia hype seed to be pointing towards one place, which was Feixiang Company and Lin Chuan.
In theory, Feixiang Company had not done anything bad; if they had to be accused of sothing, it would be the opening of Haiqing Pool, but Haiqing Pool of Feixiang Company was fundantally different from Qinghua Pool.
Eventually, what people did not wish to happen still occurred.
July 3rd.
It was supposed to be an ordinary day, the sky was clear and a brilliant blue that seed to take your breath away, a joy to behold.
Two sand barges had already gone out to dredge sand from the river, Zhou Kai and the others were working inside the market, more than ten large trucks lined up in the transport market to get sand. The repair shop was also doing a good business, with the number of staff expanding to more than ten people, and many young workers busily at work. Uncle Liu and Uncle Liang were directing them. It was becoming challenging to work with their advancing age, so they planned to train the youngsters to take over. Both of them did whatever they could handle on the side. After all, they couldn't let down Lin Chuan with the five thousand monthly salary.
The weather was good, and everyone was feeling upbeat.
The brothers were also working very hard, with a united spirit.
Zhou Kai wore a safety helt, a cigarette hanging from his lips, followed by two younger brothers, looking incredibly imposing. Zhou Kai enjoyed this feeling very much; not only could he make money, but he could also flaunt his status and position. It was all beyond imagination in the past.
Now, Zhou Kai could earn more than twenty thousand dollars in salary a month, of course, this money was just a small part, with the bulk to be given out at the end of the year. The sand field, transport market, repair shop, Haiqing Pool, these were all Lin Chuan's businesses, earning profits of several million a year. According to this year's trend, the profits should reach tens of millions. Therefore, the brothers were very enthusiastic about their work, and all this was for the end-of-year bonus. That was the real jackpot.
"Bro Kai, give a cigarette!" Li Qiang stood on a pile of sand, holding a shovel in his hands.
"You little rascal, you ran out of cigarettes?" Zhou Kai glared at him.
"I have." Li Qiang nodded hurriedly and said, "But I just want to smoke yours, 'Heaven and Earth'!"
"Get lost!" Zhou Kai replied irritably, "Do you think you can smoke a cigarette that costs more than a hundred bucks whenever you want?"
"Uh..." Li Qiang widened his eyes.
But Zhou Kai leisurely lit one up and said, "This is the only one, if you want more there won't be any left."
"Hehe..." Seeing this, Li Qiang imdiately grinned, saying, "Great, that's wonderful. Thank you, Brother Kai, thank you, Brother Kai."
"I want one too." Liu Cheng imdiately gathered around.
Before Zhou Kai could react, Li Qiang's 'Heaven and Earth' cigarette was snatched away by them.
Seeing this, Zhou Kai shouted: "Damn it, you bastards, you actually dared to steal my smoke."
"Run." After snatching one, Liu Cheng imdiately threw the remaining cigarettes to the other brothers. None of them would miss the opportunity to smoke a good cigarette; each quickly took one from the pack, and then they scattered in all directions.
