Officialdom: After My Demotion, My Powerful Background Was Exposed

When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.

With no backing, Li Lin's polit...

Chapter 574 Hunting

When Zhao Chengyi, Cao Ziming and Cen Mingyuan took out three brand new double-barreled shotguns from the trunk of the SUV.

The local village party secretary was stunned.

He thought, what era is this? Everyone knows that carrying a gun is illegal, but how dare these people be so bold? They openly carry guns?

Who exactly is this person...?

Zhao Chengyi saw Secretary Liu standing there stupidly, staring at the gun in his hand, so he smiled at him, "Secretary Liu, do you want to play? There's another one in the trunk."

Secretary Liu looked terrified, shook his head repeatedly and refused, "No, no, no, I dare not..."

While cleaning their guns and loading bullets, Cao Ziming and Cen Mingyuan cast mocking glances at Secretary Liu with the sidelong glances.

Zhao Chengyi asked with a smile, "Are you afraid or unable to do it?"

Secretary Liu scratched his head and smiled, saying, "I used to play with the forest rangers' guns. I also served as a militiaman. I know a lot about guns, but I'm timid and I don't dare to do it."

It is legal for forest rangers to have guns, and it is also legal for militiamen to use guns. But the guns in Zhao Chengyi's hands were from unknown sources, and he was afraid that touching these guns would cause him trouble. So he pretended to be timid and kept refusing.

How could Zhao Chengyi not see through Secretary Liu’s thoughts?

He directly forced the shotgun in his hand into Secretary Liu's hand and said to him in an irrefutable tone, "Take it. You will walk in front and lead the way for us. If there is any danger, the gun in your hand can save your life!"

ah? !

Secretary Liu was forced to take the gun.

He knew that Zhao Chengyi did this purely to drag him into the water.

If they commit crimes together and hold each other's leverage, they won't be afraid of backstabbing each other.

Secretary Liu had no choice but to take the gun and put it on his back, like a fire poker, with no intention of firing a single shot.

The trunk of the third car opened, and four slender hounds jumped out happily. They seemed to have been pent up all the way, and they were very excited as soon as they got out of the car, running around everywhere.

Four men came forward, put collars on the dogs, led them forward, and released them when they found prey.

Two people were left to guard the car.

Zhao Chengyi and Secretary Liu walked in front with guns on their backs, while Cao Ziming and the others followed behind. People and dogs lined up in a mighty line and walked towards the woods.

Walking on the winding path.

Zhao Chengyi turned around and looked at Cao Ziming and Cen Mingyuan, and said, "Master Cao, Master Cen, I just received news that the county has established an ancient city project command center headed by Li Lin. It is estimated that the bidding will start soon. Should we do some preparation in advance?"

Cao Ziming said nonchalantly, "When I came here, I called your Governor Zhao through the leaders in Beijing and told him clearly the purpose of our visit. With the governor helping us coordinate, this project will be ours, right? Who the hell dares to snatch it from us?"

Cen Mingyuan laughed coldly, "Old Zhao, you've been doing business for so many years, you wouldn't even know how to rig a bid, right? When the time comes, you can get an internal document from the county government, and we'll study it and set up several qualified construction units to bid at the same time. Plus, with Governor Zhao's greeting, this matter is basically set in stone, there's no way we can get away with it!"

Hearing this, Zhao Chengyi paused for a moment, turned around and said to the two of them with concern, "I am familiar with bid rigging. But the point is, the person in charge of this project is Li Lin, the mortal enemy who sent my brother to prison! If he is biased against our Zhao Enterprise and sets obstacles for us, deliberately preventing us from winning the bid, or failing to win all the bids, what should we do if we fail to complete the task assigned by Master Zhai?"

"Fuck!" Cao Ziming spat on the ground and said disdainfully, "He's a department-level cadre, how dare he disobey Governor Zhao? If that doesn't work, just fire him as county magistrate!"

Listening to Cao Ziming's words, Zhao Chengyi showed a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, and chuckled, "Mr. Cao, I seem to have told you that Li Lin is not fighting alone. He has a backer in the provincial party committee, and he is also the right-hand man of Secretary Qian of the municipal party committee. It may be difficult to remove him from his post."

"I don't believe that a department-level cadre can be so stubborn! Tomorrow I will call the leaders of the Yanjing Organization Department and ask them to come forward and give Qian Lingyun a warning to see if he dares to protect Li Lin! When Li Lin's backers fall, won't he be at our mercy? Haha..."

Sudden.

Secretary Liu made a hushing gesture to them and whispered, "Don't make any noise... There seems to be a living creature ahead... Don't scare the prey away..."

Zhao Chengyi and his companions immediately stopped talking, took down their hunting rifles from their shoulders, and aimed intently at the front.

I saw a white figure hiding behind a tree, sticking its head out and bleating...as if calling its companions.

Secretary Liu was stunned and wondered how there could be goats in the forest?

It doesn't look wild...

Just as he was hesitating, a gunshot was heard behind him.

He instinctively squatted down with his head in his hands, feeling that the bullet seemed to fly past his ear, which scared him to death.

Before I could even look back, two more gunshots rang out...

Cen Mingyuan and Zhao Chengyi aimed at the prey and fired one after another.

It's just that their shooting skills were so poor that they missed the goat in the distance with three shots.

"Grass!"

"My marksmanship has gotten rusty!"

Cao Ziming looked at the frightened goat, cursed unwillingly, and found a clever excuse for his mistake to save his face as a "sharpshooter".

Cen Ziming smiled and said, "Don't worry, just treat it as a warm-up! We'll have a competition later to see who can catch more prey."

Secretary Liu stared blankly at the three people who were talking. They seemed to be used to this kind of hunting activity. Secretary Liu understood that the two people Zhao Chengyi brought with him must be of extraordinary status. They must be the sons of nobles from the capital. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the courage to talk and laugh with guns, and wouldn't keep talking about Governor Zhao... I guess their background is inferior to that of the governor of a province.
