He waved his hand lightly and uttered only one word: "Get lost."
Li Tie felt as if he had been granted a pardon; the immense joy instantly overwhelmed the excruciating pain and fear in his body!
He even forgot about the injury on his face, and hurriedly nodded and bowed.
"Alright! Thank you, Master Xu! Thank you for your magnanimity, Master Xu!"
After saying that, he didn't dare to linger for another second. He turned around and, with all his might, practically tumbling and crawling, ran wildly towards the outside of the greenhouse without looking back. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Master! How could you really let him go?!" Niu Erbao stamped his feet, looking in the direction where Li Tie disappeared, both anxious and angry, his face filled with resentment and worry.
“He’s definitely not coming back! What… what are we going to do now? This land…” The other villagers also looked anxious and puzzled, staring at Xu Kuo, hesitant to speak.
Xu Kuo merely glanced indifferently at the horribly destroyed cornfield, his eyes filled with a chilling expression.
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling undertone that clearly reached everyone's ears: "He can't escape."
He paused, turned his head, glanced at the worried faces of Niu Erbao and the others, and spoke calmly.
"If he dares not to come back, or if he brings back sticks instead of hoes..."
“I went to town myself and dragged him out of his rat hole.”
"Break his legs, drag him back, make him kneel on this land, and make him plant these seedlings back one by one!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible, chilling aura emanated from Xu Kuo, making the surrounding air seem to suddenly turn several degrees colder.
Xu Kuo's words pierced the hearts of the remaining thugs with every single one!
How could they dare to make the slightest move?
They were all as if nailed to the ground, their faces ashen, cold sweat pouring down their backs. They didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that if they moved even slightly, they would follow in Li Tie's footsteps and have their bones broken on the spot by that ruthless star!
Run, but where do you want to run?
Didn't you hear? He's going to town to drag that bastard Li Tie out and break his legs!
They're nothing. Stay here, and maybe there'll be a chance of survival when the security guards arrive.
On the other side, Li Tie was no longer concerned about the excruciating pain on his face and the blood filling his mouth.
The instinct to survive overcame everything!
He ran forward as fast as he could, wishing his parents had two more legs!
He hadn't gone far from the greenhouse when he bumped into two of his men who were dawdling and walking back—the very two he had sent to tip them off!
Unexpectedly, the two people disregarded his life and death and prepared to go home.
"Damn it! Are you two pieces of trash on your way to reincarnation? You're so slow!!"
When Li Tie saw their leisurely manner, he became furious. Ignoring his face, which was swollen like a pig's head, he kicked the two men twice, making them grimace.
"I almost died there! And you guys just strolled around like you were shopping! Get out of my way! If you delay me from getting reinforcements, I'll skin you alive!"
A bunch of good-for-nothing idiots. Wait until he calls the security guards to kill that kid surnamed Xu, and then we'll teach them a lesson!
The two henchmen were thoroughly berated and were both shocked and frightened. Seeing Li Tie's miserable appearance, they were also very nervous, but they dared not refute him and could only follow behind him obsequiously.
Li Tie ignored them and, limping, used his last bit of strength to rush towards the town's security office like a madman.
Meanwhile, in the town's security office.
Ke, a middle-aged man in his forties with a slightly balding head, was clutching a document that had just been urgently delivered through internal channels. His expression was constantly changing, and his eyes were filled with horror and disbelief.
The document was issued by the county public security bureau. It was short, but contained a lot of information!
The core message is just one thing: Xu Kuo, a doctor at the county hospital, is appointed to temporarily serve as the captain of the county public security bureau's criminal investigation team, effective immediately, and to be fully responsible for the pursuit of Wang Ming and other fugitive criminals!
The document also emphasized at the end: the security departments and police stations of all townships must fully cooperate with Comrade Xu Kuo's work, obey his orders, and must not make any mistakes!
"Hiss—" The head of the security department gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Xu Kuo? Which Xu Kuo? A direct parachuted-in acting captain?!
What the hell is this?!
He repeatedly examined the official seal and stamp on the document, and after confirming that everything was correct, his heart pounded wildly.
He guessed that this kid must have some powerful backer, either from the provincial government or a confidant of some military bigwig! Otherwise, how could a farmer have gotten to this position?
This is clearly a job to gain experience or a special mission!
Wang Ming's case is very complicated, and the county is having a headache over it. Now they're letting an outsider take charge?
This is clearly just a formality; the real purpose is something else!
Thinking of this, the section chief's previously somewhat cloudy eyes instantly flashed with shrewdness.
This is an opportunity, a golden chance for him to rise to the top!
If we can get on the good side of Captain Xu and latch onto his powerful backer, we'll never have to worry about getting promoted.
We have to find a way to curry favor! No, we have to pledge our loyalty!
His mind raced, trying to figure out how to find an opportunity to impress this new tycoon and make a good impression.
Just then, a rapid knocking sounded on the door.
"Come in!" The section chief composed himself and replied in a deep voice.
A young security guard pushed open the door and entered, his face showing a strange and hesitant expression: "Chief, there's someone outside... someone outside has come to report an emergency!"
The section chief frowned, somewhat displeased.
Why bother him with such trivial matters?
Can't you see he's contemplating important life decisions?
He waved his hand impatiently: "What emergency? Can't we just let Lao Zhang and the others handle it? Why do I have to personally deal with such a trivial matter?"
The team member quickly explained, "No, Chief! The man who came in was beaten black and blue, and he can barely speak, but he insists that he wants to report a major case! Something related to murder, prison break, or something! We don't dare to make a decision on his own, so we came to ask you..."
"What?! A murderer? A prison break?" The section chief jumped up from his chair, his eyes wide. He had just been thinking about how to make a name for himself, and now this opportunity had been delivered right to his doorstep!
A shocking case, and it's happening right at this critical juncture!
This is like a pillow delivered to someone who's sleepy!
If Captain Xu could solve a major case right after taking office, wouldn't that be the best welcome gift?
Captain Xu will definitely look at him with new eyes then, and might even have to rely on him for the task of capturing Wang Ming!
This achievement...this future...it's absolutely bright!
The section chief became more and more excited as he thought about it, his face flushed with excitement, as if he could already see his bright future of promotion and advancement.
