“What nonsense are you spouting?” Li Qingkai said.

“Hurry back to Zhonghai and stay there for a while. I’ll take care of the work for you. Just go now.”

Lin Yi’s heart warmed. He had just arrived and was quite lucky to meet such a reliable big brother.

“This kind of thing can’t be avoided forever. When 1 come back one day, they will come looking for me again.” Lin Yi said.

“Moreover, from a certain point of view, their actions have already threatened the development of the county. Such people are like cancer. If we don’t deal with them in time, things will eventually escalate.”

“I’ve worked in the county for so many years. Do you think I don’t understand the way this works? If I could deal with it, I wouldn’t have let him grow to this scale.”

“That’s why I can’t hide. Just tell me where they are.”

“Kid, don’t mess around. 1 definitely won’t tell you,” Li Qingkai said righteously.

“If you don’t tell me, they’ll come looking for me sooner or later. Moreover, that person called Cheng Laowu is probably quite famous in this county. I just have to ask around and I’ll find out where they he is, so there’s no need for you to stop me.”

Li Qingkai was silent for a long time. Lin Yi’s words made sense.

If he didn’t return to Zhonghai, he would run into Cheng Laowu sooner or later.

“Well, let’s go with that plan. You take the initiative, go have dinner with him, raise a glass, say some flattering words, and consider the matter settled. After all, you still have some status, and he can’t ignore that,” Lin Yi suggested.

“Yes, do you know where he is? 1’11 go look for him.”

“There’s a nightclub which he owns. You should be able to find him there.”

“Alright, I’ll go over now.”

With that, Lin Yi hung up the phone, located the place on the map, and drove towards the club.

As the only nightclub in Dongsan County, Night Music Hall was a household name here.

They’d know the location as soon as you mention the name.

Moreover, the well-informed and busybodies all knew that it was Cheng Laowu’s territory.

Every time they mentioned that place, their faces would be filled with respect.

This was because many people knew that Cheng Laowu’s to-riches story is not exactly admirable, but every time someone mentions him, they can’t help but give him a thumbs up.

And sigh with self-deprecation.

When Cheng Laowu was young, he worked as a motorcycle repairman in a motorcycle repair shop. He had outstanding technical skills and craftsmanship.

Due to his good looks, along with his charisma, he eventually married a nurse from the county hospital and had a child.

However, when the child was barely a month old, Cheng Laowu met a wealthy woman and was determined to be with her.

After careful consideration, Cheng Laowu abandoned his wife and child and went with the wealthy woman.

With the help of someone behind him and his own hard work, he quickly established himself in Dongsan County and connected with many people.

After more than 20 years had passed, he had become a figure who stood at the peak of Dongsan County.

Although the people in the county were very poor, he had used some improper methods to earn so much money that he would never be able to finish spending it all.

He also bought a Mercedes-Benz that cost more than a million yuan. It was also the only Mercedes-Benz in the county.

If anyone in the county saw it, they would know that it was his car.

The decoration of the club seemed to come from two decades ago. The style and design were extremely exaggerated and luxurious.

The third floor of the club was the office. Cheng Laowu’s subordinates gathered there when they had nothing to do. Some citizens referred to this place as a gathering place for hooligans.

When they had to pass by this place, they would even take a detour.

“You still haven’t found that Lin Yi?”

In the office, Cheng Laowu sat in his boss’s chair with his feet on the desk. He held a cigarette in his hand and was smoking.

There were more than ten people standing in the office.

One of them was the person who was beaten up by Lin Yi for stealing sand during the day.

After the two of them were taken away, they went to the hospital for treatment. The person who had been stabbed was still hospitalized. The one with his head split open was immediately back by Cheng Laowu.

In addition, Liu Xilu, who had gone to Kuanhe Village to collect money, was also here.

“We know where he works, but we can’t find out where he lives. I think we’ll hear from him soon,” Liu Xilu said.

Cheng Laowu flicked the ash from his cigarette. “Damn it, these young and inexperienced officials are causing trouble. They’ve just taken office and they’re already targeting me. It’s clear they’ve never been through a beating.”

“I agree that.” Liu Xilu echoed.

“The kid is indeed quite arrogant. When he confronted us during the day, he was really audacious. Even mentioning your name didn’t work on him.”

“That’s normal; young people tend to take fewer risks, so they dare to do anything. When I find him, we’ll have a good talk. Let’s see if he dares to be as bold in front of me.”

“Haha…”

Everyone in the office burst out laughing.

“If Fifth Master talks to him personally, just his aura alone will scare the kid to death.”

“Forget it, forget it.”

Cheng Laowu smiled and said,

“Tell the men to continue looking, but you have to pay attention to your attitude when you do things. After all, times have changed. You have to restrain yourself when bullying others. Don’t be so upfront.”

“Got it, Fifth Master.”

Ring ring ring!

Cheng Laowu’s phone rang. He gestured for the others to keep quiet. “Keep your voices down.”

Liu Xilu and company immediately fell silent, not daring to disturb Cheng Laowu.

“Brother Dong.

“He ruined my business, so of course I had to speak up.

“Alright, Brother Dong, since you’ve spoken, I’ll let him off.”

“What are you doing recently? Is your work going well?” Cheng Laowu said with a smile.

“I got a few lambs from the grassland. I’ll send one to you when the time comes.

“That’s all for now. We’ll talk later.”

After saying a few words, Cheng Laowu hung up the phone. Liu Xilu asked curiously.

“Fifth Master, what happened?”

“The county office called me to talk to me about this.” Cheng Laowu put down his cell phone and said,

“He said that the kid had admitted defeat and wanted to take the initiative to come over for a meal and toast to admit his mistake.”

“Remember what I said?” Liu Xilu said.

“After learning how powerful Fifth Master is, he chickened out and took the initiative to apologize.”

“Fifth Master, are we going to let this matter rest? He has ruined a lot of our plans.”

“The higher-ups have spoken. This is enough. We still have to give them face.”

Cheng Laowu said,

“However, when he comes looking for me, I have to say some words and let him know that I’m not someone to be trifled with!”

“That’s right. Damn it, we have to let him know how powerful we are!”

Clang! Clang! Clang!

“Come in.”

As everyone was speaking, there was a knock on the office door. Cheng Laowu responded.

A man with dyed yellow hair walked in from outside.

“Fifth Master, that person called Lin Yi is here!”
