How could that be possible? He was a man who wanted to farm. How could he linger in the business world?
"Monkey, I want to ask you something."
"Boss, why are you being so distant with me? If you have something to say, just tell me."
Xu Jing asked, "Why is there no sign of compensation?"
Hou Liang thought for a long time before remembering what it was. He sighed and said, "That was a big deal. My second sister sent someone to apologize, but who knew that guy would slap me in the face after hearing about it and warn me not to say anything. I heard you beat them up, they wanted to save the five thousand yuan."
This is outrageous. He was hospitalized for more than half a month, and now he won't even give me money?
Xu Jing's sinister look startled Hou Liang, and he hurriedly stopped him. "Boss, please don't do anything stupid."
"Do you know his identity?"
"Tang Ren's uncle, what's his name? Let me think about it, and I remember it's Lin Qiang. He's a well-known local tyrant, and he has connections in the white world. Boss, let me be frank, it's better for ordinary people like us not to fight with them."
Hou Liang still feels a lingering fear when he thinks about it. Lin Qiang gave him a cold look, and his legs gave way instantly. If someone hadn't pulled him away, he would have fallen to his knees.
"Boss, let's just call it a loss and forget it." Following the principle of less trouble is more trouble, Hou Liang changed the topic to making money. "When you're well, come help me. Let's call the Foxes and make a fortune together, okay?"
Lin Qiang was a local celebrity. Almost all criminal cases were brought to him for questioning. If it wasn't a murder, they would usually give him a break.
This guy made a fortune in Guangdong and Guangxi in his early years by reselling games, then retired and returned to his hometown to open a game hall. Now the game halls in the county rely on him for their livelihood, and his methods are quite ruthless.
The original owner's cries were met with despair because Lin Qiang had a double layer of protection. The deputy director of the White Road had a close relationship with Lin Qiang and often asked him to do things for him. He had become a familiar face among the officials, and the subordinates did not dare to touch him.
Over time, he became more and more arrogant and had become a local bully.
There hadn't been any serious crackdown on black crime in the current situation. Therefore, Lin Qiang was considered a lawless figure in the local area. Hou Liang thought Xu Jing's attempt to challenge him was like hitting a rock with an egg; there was no way he could win.
"Monkey, take me to see him."
"Who are you meeting, Tang Ren?"
Xu Jing smiled and said, "If I'm going to meet someone, I'd rather meet a big one. I want to meet this local tyrant."
"It's not that I don't want to give you face, it's just that I really can't." Hou Liang said with a sad face, "I can't see people just because I want to."
"Is that so? Then let him come to see me on his own initiative."
That very night, Xu Jing wrote an anonymous letter to report the incident to his superiors in the provincial capital. The letter was very detailed, and the post office directly delivered it to the governor.
The governor naturally wouldn't pay any attention to a small fry like Xu Jing, and the letter simply fell into oblivion.
Seeing that his plan failed, Xu Jing collected a lot of evidence, wrote it into a document and handed it to the provincial newspaper.
Seeing Xu Jing's well-written report, the newspaper immediately sent a reporter to the county to investigate. The reporter went undercover, but the locals didn't take him seriously.
After understanding the local situation, the reporter verified the relevant letters when he returned, communicated with the president of the newspaper, and published them in popular newspapers and magazines.
As a result, Xiaoguang County became famous.
To boost traffic, the newspaper even ran a headline: "Harming the masses, dominating the area! Xiaoguang County local tyrant Lin Qiang persecuted high school student Li, leaving him seriously injured."
Once the newspaper was sold, sales skyrocketed. Almost every prominent local figure, especially those who read, had a copy. Word of mouth spread, making Lin Qiang extremely famous.
In order to attract traffic, the newspaper created a lot of headlines and even went to the county hospital in Xiaoguang County at its own expense to interview the victim Li Heng.
Xu Jing sat on the bed and was interviewed by reporter A.
Reporter A asked, "What is your opinion on this matter?"
Xu Jing smiled shyly, looking at the camera and saying, "I'm an honest man and don't understand these nonsense. I just want Tang Ren to apologize to me."
Li Yurong, the second sister, hugged Xu Jing and cried, saying to the camera: "If this isn't bullying, what is? When my little brother was taken to the hospital, the doctor said if it was any later, he would have gone to stay with my mother. They haven't contacted us since my little brother's accident. They called the monkey and said they would settle the matter for 5,000 yuan. Do you think a life can be settled for 5,000 yuan?"
The reporter went home that day and wrote a lengthy article, which was then submitted to higher authorities for review and published in the newspaper. Furthermore, he sold the videotape to the provincial television station.
The governor didn't know about it until three days later. It was intolerable that such a thing could happen in his jurisdiction.
Originally, the governor didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he didn't expect it to get bigger and bigger. He was in the process of being transferred, so how could he allow such a thing to happen in the county-level city under him?
The governor then issued a document ordering a thorough investigation. The investigation was shocking. His subordinates had done many unethical things behind his back. The protection behind a small-time Lin Qiang was surprisingly powerful.
The governor secretly congratulated himself for the early investigation, otherwise he would have been finished. He immediately called a meeting with the Xiaoguang County mayor, where he harshly criticized him. He immediately dismissed the deputy director of the xx police station and referred him to the Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation into corruption.
Who could possibly hold this position without a clean record? The Commission for Discipline Inspection followed the clues and uncovered a wealth of evidence. The deputy director had embezzled and accepted bribes totaling 500,000 yuan, a crime punishable by execution at the time. The Commission for Discipline Inspection handed him over to the court for further investigation, and Lin Qiang and the others were also arrested.
Lin Qiang, a gangster who robbed gangsters, never imagined he'd fall prey to a nobody. It was his misfortune that the provincial governor was conducting a major investigation to identify typical criminals. Not only him, but also the entire family he'd favored, including his brother-in-law, Tang Ren, were arrested. Some were sentenced, others executed. Lin Qiang didn't even get to see Xu Jing before he was shot, his death a particularly tragic one.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. With the boss's downfall, the gaming industry he controlled was swept away. In response to a call from higher authorities, the mayor of Xiaoguang County ordered his police officers to patrol the streets daily. Anyone caught fighting would be apprehended and given a verbal warning. Serious offenders would be detained and sent to the detention center. For a time, street fights were significantly reduced, and public security improved significantly.
This incident caused a lot of uproar recently, and even gangsters like Hou Liang didn't dare to go out on the streets.
