Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 778: Father-in-Law Comes to Support
Chapter 778: Chapter 778: Father-in-Law Comes to Support
Jiang Hanwen, after all, was the head of a city, with a lofty status and an incredibly powerful aura. His mere presence, even in silence, could exert an immense sense of oppression.
Zhang Xiaoshan was somewhat bewildered. Why had the Jiang family father and daughter suddenly come to White Dragon Village?
However, for whatever reason, now that someone as powerful as Jiang Hanwen had arrived, there would be no problem with today’s affair.
Jiang Man and Zhang Xiaoshan exchanged a glance, then Jiang Man turned her sharp gaze towards Feng Dazhi and said,
"Who allowed you to come here, do you have the proper authorization?"
Jiang Man’s demeanor was exceptionally cold and her tone, severe.
"You, what’s it to you whether I have authorization, is it any of your business?"
Feng Dazhi mustered his courage to retort.
He was just a minor leader in a local town’s business department, not even worth a speck of sesame or mung bean; he had no way to interact with someone of Jiang Man’s level and did not recognize her, let alone Jiang Hanwen.
"Ridiculous, is that how you speak to people, what kind of attitude is that?"
Jiang Hanwen’s face turned sour.
Feng Dazhi, still oblivious to the grave danger, said,
"I, I don’t care who you all are or where you come from, you’re probably some big boss, right? Then you should be even more aware of the sanctity of law enforcement. We are in the middle of handling a case, so you better step back, or I’ll take you in as well."
"Shut your mouth."
It was at this moment that a middle-aged man, flustered and exasperated, emerged from behind the Jiang family outside the courtyard, pointing at Feng Dazhi and cursing loudly,
"To think it’s Feng Dazhi, you scoundrel, how dare you speak like that?"
"Also, who allowed you to come here?"
"Who gave you the authority?"
Seeing the newcomer, Feng Dazhi, who had been full of bluster before, suddenly cowered.
"Mr. Fu, how, how did you get here?"
"Are, are you accompanying them on an investment inspection?"
The speaker was none other than Fu Wei, Feng Dazhi’s direct superior and the head of Wanshan County’s business department.
Fu Wei was fuming at that moment.
"Investment inspection? The people standing before you are Vice Chairman Jiang and the head of our Jiang City!"
"What?"
Upon learning the identity of Jiang Man and Jiang Hanwen from Fu Wei, Feng Dazhi nearly wet himself, dumbstruck.
He stood frozen, his expression rigid and his head buzzing.
"The, the head of the city?"
That simple sentence was like a pebble thrown into a still pond, creating huge ripples. The villagers, too, were taken aback.
The highest-ranking official they had ever seen was Jiang Man, and now someone even more eminent had appeared before them.
"The head of the city, what a high-ranking official that must be."
"My heavens, even our little White Dragon Village can welcome such a distinguished person."
The villagers murmured incessantly.
Jiang Hanwen spoke aloud to the villagers,
"Folks, there’s no need to be afraid. I’ve come here today to stand up for you. Please, if you have any grievances, go ahead and speak up."
Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately began to complain about Feng Dazhi.
"No, no, no, they are talking nonsense. I, I am innocent, I, I was simply conducting normal official business."
When Feng Dazhi came to his senses, he defended himself guiltily.
But in the next moment, Jiang Hanwen’s eyes grew cold.
"Nonsense? It seems to me that you were the one here spouting nonsense, blatantly harassing and causing trouble."
"Jiang Man, you’re in charge here, you deal with this," he said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Man immediately looked at Fu Wei.
"You have three minutes to explain exactly what is going on here."
Fu Wei’s mind was overrun with a stampede of expletives.
He wished he could unearth Feng Dazhi’s family’s ancestral grave.
He had the rare opportunity to accompany Jiang Hanwen on his sudden visit that morning, hoping to make an impression on the higher-ups. But now, he had lost face completely.
"Feng Dazhi, you are a Baishan Town administrator, what are you doing meddling in Qingshan Town’s jurisdiction?"
"Who gave you the authority, who sent you?"
"I, I..." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Feng Dazhi completely lost his composure.
At this point, he had completely buckled.
"I, it was the owner of the Wanshan Hotel, Gong Yuhua, who asked me to come," he said.
"He, he offered me a hundred thousand yuan to make use of my time off, to come here in uniform and make trouble."
"I, the few people by my side are not really our staff either, but rather, I hired them to pose as...,"
"Gong Yuhua said that this Liu Qingchun was bribed, and would, would collude with me from the inside out..."
"I, I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again, please spare me,"
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone exploded.
"Scoundrel behavior,"
Jiang Hanwen’s face was livid.
The villagers were even more agitated.
"Well done, Liu Qingchun, you old man, for daring to collude with outsiders and make things difficult for your own people."
"Little Shan led us to prosperity, and you ruined him; we all have to suffer along with you. What kind of heart do you have?"
The villagers were extremely angry.
"I, I, I was momentarily possessed," said Liu Qingchun, looking down guiltily.
"Beat them up,"
The villagers rushed up in a swarm, punching and kicking Liu Qingchun and Feng Dazhi.
"Everyone, stop hitting,"
The officials’ staff tried to stop them, but the public fury was too overwhelming, and with the villagers vastly outnumbered, it had little effect.
"Little Shan, you take care of this," said Yu Xiuxiu, somewhat worried.
Zhang Xiaoshan gauged the time, figuring the beating was about done.
Only then did he speak.
"Alright, everyone stop, let’s hand them over to the government to deal with,"
Only then did the crowd disperse.
Seeing how high Zhang Xiaoshan’s prestige was in the village, Jiang Hanwen’s gaze revealed a mix of surprise and admiration.
"Luo Yihua, you personally oversee this case, my intention is to handle it as fraud and dereliction of duty; in any case, it must be prosecuted," said Jiang.
"It’s all over," said Feng Dazhi and the others as they desperately begged for mercy.
But they were soon arrested by the security personnel brought by Luo Yihua, the Security Chief of the county.
"Hey, why are you arresting me, stop, please spare me, I, Zhang Xiaoshan, Village Chief, Village Chief, I was wrong, please spare me,"
"Save me,"
Liu Qingchun was also grabbed, suddenly panicked, and kept begging Zhang Xiaoshan for mercy.
Zhang Xiaoshan coldly snorted.
"Since the village rules can’t govern you, let the law deal with you. Go cool off in jail for a couple of days first,"
"No, please no,"
"I was wrong, please spare me,"
Liu Qingchun continuously howled in misery, but it did nothing to change his fate of being taken away.
What specifically the consequences would be was unknown, but the law is surely sacred and just.
"Great, long live!"
The villagers began to shout excitedly.
Jiang Hanwen said,
"Fellow villagers, the state is constantly promoting rural revitalization, and in the future, the countryside will be our key development direction. We must strive to ensure that every villager leads a good life. Zhang Xiaoshan’s agrotourism business is doing very well."
"It fully reflects the rural characteristics and drives the rural economy. I guarantee that our relevant departments will definitely offer strong support."
"Yes, yes, we will definitely support,"
The accompanying officials from various Wanshan County agencies echoed in unison.
"Alright, let’s disperse, let’s disperse,"
"Don’t gather around anymore,"
Zhang Xiaoshan began to disperse the crowd.
"Hehe, Dr. Zhang, I didn’t expect someone as young as you to be so capable, not only outstanding on your own but also able to lead the villagers to wealth. It really is rare," Jiang Hanwen took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Xiaoshan, praising him continuously.
"Hehe, you, you’re too kind,"
"I, I just did what I could," replied Zhang Xiaoshan, also feeling a bit nervous because the other person was not only the city head but also Jiang Man’s father.
Possibly his future father-in-law.
And at this moment, Yu Xiuxiu’s expression by his side also began to change subtly.
