...
at the same time.
As soon as Director Qian stepped out of the restaurant, he saw Vice Mayor Ma standing in the shadows not far away, smoking. He looked rather forlorn.
He quickly jogged over.
"Mayor Ma..."
Do you know why I agreed to her request?
Vice Mayor Ma interrupted him without turning around, her voice icy.
“The smelter is too big. I am the city leader in charge of it. From the day the project was launched, countless eyes have been watching me closely.”
"If I dare to reach out, I will be met with a pair of cold handcuffs."
"So, I need a firewall, a white glove."
Vice Mayor Ma slowly turned his head, his eyes, which had been immersed in officialdom for many years, were as cold as ice.
"From now on, you will be in charge of discussing everything with Li Yuanyuan."
Meeting that gaze, Director Qian felt a chill run down his spine and instantly understood everything.
I myself am the second firewall that Vice Mayor Ma has pushed to the forefront.
Li Yuanyuan invited him here, perhaps from the very beginning, just to provide Vice Mayor Ma with this perfect shield!
This woman is as cunning as the sea!
"Mayor Ma, I understand!" He nodded quickly.
"Okay." Vice Mayor Ma nodded. "Go back."
"yes!"
Director Qian stopped and watched the figure disappear into the night, and couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
He turned around and went back to the hotel to get his bicycle, just in time to run into Li Ailian pulling Zhao Daming out.
Both sides nodded to each other and left.
On the motorcycle, the night breeze was slightly cool, and Zhao Daming couldn't help but ask, "Ailian, what exactly does Yuanyuan mean? I'm getting more and more confused."
"She's bringing us immense wealth!"
"That won't do!"
"Da Ming!" Li Ailian hugged her husband tightly from behind, pressing her face against his broad back. "Mayor Ma and Director Qian haven't refused, what's the rush? Let's take a look first, and wait a bit longer!"
Her eyes shone with an unprecedented light.
The way Li Yuanyuan touched her stomach earlier made her think about many, many things...
...
Late at night, Zhangjia Village.
Consignment store.
Zhang Cheng sat quietly in a chair by the window, his gleaming hunting rifle resting across his lap.
His eyelids were lowered, and his breathing was steady, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
On the bed, Shi Yangyang lay on her side, her beautiful eyes fixed on the resolute silhouette in the darkness, filled with heartache.
On a mountain road 500 meters away from the store, two furtive figures were crouching and approaching under the moonlight.
“Zou Shan, we just did it last night, and you’re doing it again tonight? Isn’t that too hasty? What if Zhang Er Gou is on guard?” Li Dali lowered his voice and nervously tugged at the hem of Zhang Zou Shan’s clothes.
"He's definitely on guard, but do we need to get close?"
Zhang Zoushan smiled sinisterly, took out a handful of animal bones from his pocket, and handed them to Li Dali.
"You're strong, so throw it at his window later."
"Hmph, Zhang Ergou is badly injured this time. Although we can't take the opportunity to kill him, he shouldn't expect to recover peacefully!"
"Even if I have to scare him, I'll scare him half to death!"
Upon hearing that he didn't need to get close, Li Dali immediately relaxed and chuckled, "You're the one with the most clever ideas."
"Get closer and throw more accurately."
"become!"
Inside the bedroom of the consignment shop.
Zhang Cheng's eyes suddenly opened in the darkness!
He heard a very faint whooshing sound outside the window.
He pushed open the wooden window with his other hand.
"Clatter".
A stark white bone fell through the window and rolled onto the floor.
Shi Yangyang instantly lit the kerosene lamp. When she saw what was on the ground, her face turned pale and her beautiful eyes were filled with terror.
Zhang Cheng's eyes, however, were as cold as ice.
He turned and silently leaned against the windowsill like a cheetah, the dark muzzle of his gun protruding out the window.
My gaze swept across the dark courtyard inch by inch.
"Bang!!!"
The deafening gunfire shattered the tranquility of the mountain village!
Zhang Cheng didn't see anyone, but that didn't stop him from firing.
The flash of light from the gun barrel, like a brief bolt of lightning, illuminated a hundred meters away!
The instant the flames appeared, Zhang Cheng's pupils constricted sharply!
He saw a panicked figure running away!
As expected, he's human!
"Bang!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the second shot followed immediately!
The bullet, whistling with death, grazed Li Dali's scalp!
He felt a scorching current of air pass by, his scalp instantly exploded, and he was so scared that his soul almost flew away!
"Oh my god!"
Li Dali scrambled and stumbled as he ran toward the meeting point he had agreed upon with Zhang Zoushan, cursing Zhang Ergou a thousand times in his mind.
That son of a bitch, he's ruthless! No shouting, no yelling, just shooting!
However, when he ran to the meeting point, he found it deserted!
"Zhang Zoushan, you bastard!"
Li Dali was so angry that he cursed loudly, realizing that the bastard had already abandoned him and run away!
At that very moment!
"roar--!!!"
A deafening tiger roar suddenly erupted from the dense forest not far away!
That howl carried with it boundless majesty and hunger!
Li Dali's breath caught in his throat for a moment.
All the strength in his body seemed to be drained away in an instant, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a "thud".
The next second, he let out a scream that was not human, and he ran away frantically in another direction, using both hands and feet!
