"So what do you mean? I shouldn't be here?" Shi Zirui said aggressively, "You want to kick me out? I don't have the final say here. Do you think you have the final say?"
Gu Kaifeng raised his eyebrows, looked at the woman who was constantly attacking him, sighed silently, and said, "Of course not. Miss Shi is one of the most influential people in the entire Wang family. I just happen to have something to ask you."
"Then stop talking nonsense." Shi Zirui knew that he couldn't leave, and it was even more impossible for her to leave. Standing where she was, she suddenly asked the driver, "Is your name, Hong Peng?"
"Yes, I'm Hong Peng." Hong Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly, "I'm the person in charge assigned to this place directly by Brother Li, but, but... I didn't send people to do these things."
Shi Zirui looked at him coldly and said, "Then tell me, where are the three brothers Li Ze assigned to you now, and what are they doing?"
"He, they..." Hong Peng was speechless. He licked his lips and hesitated for a long time, wearing out Shi Zirui's patience. Gu Kaifeng was more direct. He immediately took out a pistol and pressed it against Hong Peng's temple. The cold and hard muzzle hurt him. Fear almost crushed him and he sat down directly.
Hong Peng shouted loudly: "I don't know, I don't know, I really don't know!"
As a gangster who usually shouts and yells, he knows how many bosses are above him and knows how big a mess he has caused. However, he was unaware of this matter and cannot bear the blame: "It was Brother Wei... Wei Xuesong! He came to the village this morning and asked me for someone. He said that this was Brother Li's idea.
He also told me that at this stage we were required to maintain surveillance, not to act rashly, not to attack the Cheng family members, not to kill anyone, and to apply pressure peacefully. Who could have imagined that he would bring his men to beat Cheng Dayong to a cripple in the afternoon?
"Even if I had ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare do this myself and cut off someone's hands and feet!"
Looking at the useless man lying on the ground, almost paralyzed by fear, talking rapidly, afraid that he would be shot if he spoke too slowly, a trace of doubt flashed across Shi Zirui's face, and then he asked, "Then tell me, where is he now?"
"I don't know. He told me not to ask too much. I had no idea what he had done with the three brothers. Until the Cheng family came over and started a fight with us, I still didn't understand what had happened or why these guys suddenly went crazy." Hong Peng said, "When they arrived, I tried to contact him, but the phone was not connected!"
Shi Zirui gave him a deep look, then stopped talking. Gu Kaifeng asked, "He came here to ask for someone, why didn't you inform him right away?!"
"Please forgive me, both of you." Hong Peng was about to cry. "I am nothing. I am a person of some importance here, but in front of Wei Xuesong, and even in front of you two, who am I? He asked me for someone, how could I dare to refuse? He asked me to shut up, how could I dare to utter a single word of no? I have no words to express my suffering, two great immortals!"
Having said that, Gu Kaifeng also understood that this man really knew nothing. The instigator of this chaos had disappeared. It was Wei Xuesong, who did not know who he was taking orders from.
"Is your surname Li or Ai?" Shi Zirui suddenly asked this question playfully, causing Gu Kaifeng to fall silent.
After a while, he said, "Boss Wang is very angry. Someone will pay the price for this."

......
At Cheng Jun's home, several elders sat around the dining table. The atmosphere was extremely depressing, reaching freezing point. They had heard about the incident and received the video file. Cheng Dayong was seriously injured and hospitalized. Cheng Jun had just finished dealing with the matter over there and comforted the family, then he rushed back in a hurry and called a meeting.
"Wang Kai has gone too far. I think the villagers have done a great job! They deserve to be punished. We can't let them look down on us!" Cheng Jun's third brother, Cheng Wenhan, who was sitting nearby, said fiercely, "We must not only beat them once, but twice or three times until they submit!"
Cheng Jun looked at his brothers and sisters who echoed in unison and felt uneasy. He said in a deep voice, "What are you all thinking? You think the matter is not serious enough? How many people in the village have been arrested and are waiting for trial in the police station? And you are still beating them. Do you think the law cannot punish the masses?!"
"That was their fault first. Dayong is still lying in the hospital, and we don't know whether he's alive or dead!" Cheng Wenhan shouted, "Why did the police arrest them when they came? Why did they arrest our people too?"
Cheng Jun looked at Cheng Wenhan and suddenly felt deeply exhausted. He didn't know if his brother was really stupid or just pretending to be crazy. He was too lazy to explain some things, so he said instead: "The incident happened in the village. The location they chose was very insidious. We have no evidence to prove who killed Dayong. The most urgent thing is to keep the situation stable and not let others think we are at fault.
That’s why I called you here to discuss countermeasures.”
"Whatever the solution, we can't retreat! We should make this a big deal. I want to see if Wanghai has no law!"
In this world, the most direct, powerful and easily accepted thing is often not reason, but anger and incitement. Especially when incited by someone with ulterior motives, the anger ignites almost instantly and is difficult to extinguish.
The advocacy of violence instantly became the voice of the majority of representatives at the dinner table, leaving Cheng Jun at a loss.
He looked around and suddenly asked curiously, "Why isn't Alang here?"
"Oh, yeah, he was the first one I notified. How come he hasn't shown up yet?" Cheng Wenhan asked doubtfully. He immediately stood up and said, "I'll give him a call. You guys talk first."
Immediately, Cheng Wenhan walked to the balcony and called his brother Cheng Lang.
The call was quickly picked up, but what puzzled him was that the voice that came through was Cheng Lang's familiar hoarse voice: "Ah Han, are you free now? Come down to the parking lot. I'm here, waiting for you in the car."
"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Wenhan frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Don't ask so many questions. Come down first. I have something to talk to you about."
After the call was hung up, Cheng Wenhan looked puzzled, with a faint sense of unease. He looked at the people in the living room, but for some reason, he didn't say anything in the end. Instead, he put away his phone and said to Cheng Jun, "I'm going out for a while."
"Where are you going?" Cheng Jun asked puzzledly.
"Buy a pack of cigarettes and be right back."
