Shannan County, Weishui Township Government.
It’s June and the morning sun is still the same.
On his way back to the office after having breakfast in the township cafeteria, Li Lin was stopped by Gu Datong, a burly man with a fierce look on his face.
"Li Lin, what the hell do you mean? Secretary Lu has approved the Shangshui Village renovation project. As a deputy township head in charge of the village, why the hell are you holding it back and not passing it?" Gu Datong asked sternly with a ferocious look on his face.
The scolding echoed throughout the government compound. In response, countless heads popped out from the upper floors of the government building, with an expression of wanting to watch the fun and pointing at Li Lin in the courtyard.
"Everyone knows that Gu Datong is Secretary Lu's brother-in-law. If you offend him, you will offend Secretary Gu. Li Lin is really blind. He has to pick on him. He deserves to be scolded!"
"As the saying goes, a phoenix that falls into the water is no better than a chicken. Li Lin still thinks he is the deputy mayor's secretary? What a big Israeli wolf he is. Even though he is only the deputy township head, he is nothing in Weishui Township!"
"Gu Datong is well-known for his tyranny and brutality. With his status as Secretary Lu's brother-in-law, he is definitely a boss in Weishui Township! Li Lin is obstructing his financial path without knowing what's good for him. He's probably going to get beaten up today... He deserves it!"
Mockery, sarcasm, pity...the complex expressions of the crowd intertwined into a big net, enveloping Li Lin.
Gu Datong was even more proud. He sneered and threw a project approval form in Li Lin's face, and said arrogantly, "Pick it up and sign it, and I will spare you today! Otherwise..."
Gu Datong just waved his hand, and four burly young men with tattoos got out of the van behind him.
Without saying a word, the group surrounded Li Lin, rubbing their hands, eager to try...
In an instant, the atmosphere in the government compound became extremely tense. No one dared to make a sound, and they watched quietly as the fight was about to unfold.
Li Lin's face remained gloomy the whole time. When he saw the four strong men slowly surrounding him, a mysterious smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He bent down and reached out to pick up the approval form that Gu Datong had thrown on the ground.
At this moment, everyone thought that Li Lin was compromising and giving in.
Gu Datong's contemptuous smile became even stronger. In Weishui Township, who the hell dared to confront him, Gu Datong? So what if you, Li Lin, were sent down from the city? To put it bluntly, you are just a demoted dog!
Just when everyone was expecting Li Lin to beg for mercy from Gu Datong, Li Lin folded the approval form in his hand and tore it in half...
When everyone saw this scene, their expressions froze and they stood there in shock.
Gu Datong and his four thugs widened their eyes in shock, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
"You're looking for death!" Gu Datong's lips trembled with anger, and he felt that his face was being ruthlessly trampled on by Li Lin.
"I'll give it back to you!" Li Lin threw the torn approval form into pieces at Gu Datong's face.
Scrap of paper fell on Gu Datong's face like snowflakes, completely igniting the anger in his heart. His wide-open eyes gradually became bloodshot. With a roar, four thugs rushed forward and punched Li Lin.
The crowd watching on the upper floor of the government building were also shocked beyond words by Li Lin's courage.
Over the years, no one except the secretary and the village head dared to treat Gu Datong like this.
A big battle was inevitable, and everyone couldn't help but worry about the weak Li Lin.
But no one dared to step forward to stop it, for fear of being implicated and offending the leader!
A few timid girls had covered their eyes, listening to the screams downstairs, and guessed that Li Lin must have been beaten badly!
"Wow! Village Chief Li is so good at fighting?"
With just a scream, the women who couldn't bear to watch opened their eyes curiously, and saw the reversal scene in the yard, their mouths opened in shock.
Li Lin's punches were as powerful as a dragon and his feet were as fast as the wind. He looked like a martial arts master and knocked down two thugs with a single punch in the blink of an eye.
The other two thugs were frightened when they saw this, but they could not withstand the power of Gu Datong behind them, so they had to bite the bullet and punch Li Lin.
Li Lin protected his head with both fists, rushed forward, and hit a man in the side of the face with a punch. The man fainted on the spot and fell to the ground.
The other thug tried to escape but was caught up by Li Lin, who punched him in the face more than a dozen times, leaving him covered in blood and unconscious.
After knocking down four people, Li Lin turned around and looked at the culprit Gu Datong with cold eyes.
The moment he met Li Lin's sharp gaze, Gu Datong was terrified. His usual arrogance disappeared without a trace, and his legs even felt weak...
But in front of everyone, if he gave in today, how could he survive in Weishui Township in the future? He would lose face, and his brother-in-law Lu Yuming would also lose face!
He suppressed his fear and shouted loudly, "Li Lin! You dare to hit someone? I think you don't want to be the deputy village chief anymore! Go ahead and hit me too if you have the guts!"
I said something tough, but I was sweating...
Li Lin's gaze towards him gradually became more and more solid, and his cold eyes were extremely intimidating. Gu Datong's heart trembled, and he was forced to retreat three steps by this look!
"What...what are you going to do?"
Looking at Li Lin walking towards him, Gu Datong suddenly panicked.
Li Lin strode towards him and grabbed his collar, "Come on, go to my office and I'll sign for you!"
Sign? Gu Datong was stunned again, but soon understood what Li Lin meant by "signature".
It was obvious that there were too many people in the yard and it was inconvenient to beat him too hard, so they had to take him back to the office and deal with him behind closed doors.
"Let me go! I won't go, I won't sign, okay? Mayor Li, please talk to me nicely... Help... Help... Brother-in-law, save me..."
When Gu Datong saw Li Lin's ferocious eyes, he felt his heart and liver broken. At this moment, he no longer cared about his face and dignity, and shouted for help.
As expected, no one among the onlookers stepped forward to mediate, and many even applauded secretly.
Gu Datong has been a nuisance to the village for many years. Not only has he oppressed the masses, but he also doesn't even take the township government staff seriously, often bossing them around!
Gu Datong really hit a wall today! Seeing him being dragged into the office by Li Lin by the collar, everyone felt very happy!
"Fuck! Our Village Chief Li has real kung fu skills! No wonder I get chills every time I accidentally make eye contact with him. It turns out he's really an expert!"
Everyone looked at each other, and after the shock wore off, their eyes were filled with admiration for Li Lin!
Li Lin pushed Gu Datong into his office on the first floor and slammed the door shut.
Then, a series of slapping sounds were heard in the house, followed by Gu Datong's heart-wrenching screams, "Ah! I won't sign it, I won't sign it! Brother-in-law, save me!"
At this moment, in the office of the township party committee secretary on the third floor, Lu Yu Ming sat at his desk, listening to the shrill screams of his brother-in-law Gu Datong downstairs. His face was gloomy and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
