Chapter 908: Chapter 848: Calling in Favors
"What do you mean you can’t help me? I am ********, and as the police chief, you should follow my orders!" Han Yunfei’s father trembled with anger and shouted loudly after being told off by Hu Hongsheng.
Being a ********, claiming to be completely brainless would be nonsense. For Hu Hongsheng to openly defy his orders, it was clear that Liu Hun’s identity was not simple.
But in his view, no matter how powerful Liu Hun’s identity was, this was still Tonghuai County, his territory. As long as he could get Liu Hun into the police station and pin any charge on him, Liu Hun’s crime would be undeniable no matter who backed him.
Admittedly, doing so might cause some trouble for him later, but now that his son had a leg crippled by Liu Hun, he, as a father, naturally couldn’t tolerate it.
"I’m sorry, Secretary, but I think we should wait until the county chief arrives. I’ve already notified him." Previously, at the police station, he had already lost face once. He couldn’t afford to offend Liu Hun, but it didn’t mean Hu Hongsheng couldn’t afford to offend a ********.
"You... fine, fine, fine, I’ll wait to see how you handle this once the county chief is here!" Han Yunfei’s father glared at Hu Hongsheng and sneered.
Wang Yun never imagined that she just wanted Han Yunfei to teach Liu Hun and Li Dandan a lesson, to humble them a bit in their actions.
Who would have thought that it would escalate to such a commotion? At this moment, she was somewhat dazed and at a loss for what to do.
The county chief of Tonghuai County was named Yang Huairen. He was originally enjoying tea leisurely in his office, but upon hearing the report from Hu Hongsheng’s subordinates, he was so startled he abandoned his tea and hurriedly instructed his secretary to prepare the car and rushed over.
Are you kidding? People from the Dragon Sect, even an ordinary member, were far from ordinary people. Although he was a county chief, such a position meant nothing in the eyes of the Dragon Sect.
Offending someone from the Dragon Sect could mean the end of his career with just a little investigation from them. That’s the terrifying nature of the Dragon Sect.
In about ten minutes, Yang Huairen arrived on the scene.
"Chief Yang, you’ve got some nerve. Although I haven’t been involved in police matters recently, now even my words go unheeded." As soon as Yang Huairen entered, Han Yunfei’s father accused him.
Yang Huairen felt a twinge of displeasure at Han Zhongliang’s words, but being wise with age and merely an observer, he naturally wouldn’t argue with Yang Huairen at this moment.
"Mr. Liu, I’m truly sorry. I haven’t had the chance to host you as county chief since you came to our Tonghuai County, and now such an incident has occurred. I sincerely apologize." Yang Huairen ignored Han Zhongliang and directly approached Liu Hun to apologize sincerely.
Upon hearing this, the entire crowd was stunned. Although Liu Hun was quite famous, he was after all just a businessman. However, Yang Huairen, as the county chief, still apologized to Liu Hun in the midst of such an incident, which seemed a bit unordinary.
Smart people could certainly see that Liu Hun might have a deeper identity beyond his apparent one; otherwise, Yang Huairen wouldn’t have treated him this way.
No matter what people speculated, at this moment, the only ones who knew Liu Hun’s identity were Yang Huairen and Hu Hongsheng.
"There’s no need for any hosting. I’m in Tonghuai County to handle some matters and didn’t expect the Secretary’s son to keep obstructing me and even make the first move, so I just gave a little punishment." Liu Hun spoke calmly, but his words were ambiguous, leaving Yang Huairen unsure of Liu Hun’s actual purpose in Tonghuai County.
If it was official business, and Han Yunfei obstructed Liu Hun and made the first move, then indeed, Han Yunfei deserved it.
As a county chief, Yang Huairen would naturally be happy to see Han Zhongliang take a hit, so he sided with Liu Hun at this moment.
"I see. Mr. Liu, rest assured, since you’re in Tonghuai County, I, as the county chief, won’t allow you to suffer any grievance." Yang Huairen said to Liu Hun with a smile plastered on his face.
And without waiting for Han Zhongliang to speak, Yang Huairen directed Hu Hongsheng beside him, saying, "Director Hu, since this happened, why are you still standing here? Take him back for investigation."
Yang Huairen’s order drove Han Zhongliang into madness. Regardless of his status, he pointed at Yang Huairen and cursed loudly, "Yang Huairen, are you fucking blind? Can’t you see my son has already had a leg crippled by him, and you’re still telling Hu Hongsheng to take him back for investigation?"
With Han Zhongliang pointing at him and cursing, a cold glint flashed in Yang Huairen’s eyes, but he replied indifferently, "If that’s the case, let’s first go to the hospital for some treatment. Director Hu, take a few people to ’protect’ the suspect well in the hospital these few days."
"Yes, County Chief." Seeing Yang Huairen give the order, Hu Hongsheng had no choice but to comply.
After all, according to the rules, he was under the management of the county chief, not Han Zhongliang.
"Hu Hongsheng, Yang Huairen, do you really intend to do this?" Han Zhongliang saw Hu Hongsheng approaching his son, his eyes brimming with blood-red fury as he fixedly stared at them and asked.
"Take him away!" Yang Huairen raised an eyebrow, without a hint of hesitation.
Watching his son being taken away by Hu Hongsheng, Han Zhongliang glared angrily, yet was helpless.
"Fine, fine, fine, you will regret this!" After coldly uttering these words, Han Zhongliang stormed off.
As soon as Han Zhongliang left, Yang Huairen immediately told some police officers to disperse the surrounding crowd, then approached Liu Hun with a smile and said, "Mr. Liu... Liu, I’m really sorry about this incident, for causing you trouble; how about I treat everyone to lunch?"
"We just had breakfast, it’s too early for lunch. I think I’ll buy a house for my girlfriend’s parents first." Liu Hun nodded and smiled.
"If that’s the case, I don’t have much going on today, so how about I accompany you to look at houses, Mr. Liu?" Now that Yang Huairen had fallen out with Han Zhongliang, which was all because of Liu Hun, he naturally didn’t want to let go of Liu Hun’s support.
Otherwise, if Liu Hun were to leave, he wouldn’t be able to contend with Han Zhongliang.
Regarding Yang Huairen’s thoughts, Liu Hun was well aware, but he didn’t mind. He nodded and agreed.
With the county chief accompanying him, the house purchase was quickly finalized.
A villa that initially cost around five million got discounted down to three million thanks to the county chief’s presence. Liu Hun knew the real estate company did this out of respect for Yang Huairen, but he didn’t mind taking advantage of the discount.
"County Chief Yang, it’s really thanks to you today that I saved two million." In a high-end restaurant, Liu Hun said to Yang Huairen with a smile.
"No need to mention it, Mr. Liu, we’re not strangers here, and it wasn’t like I gave you the discount. The company insisted on giving you a discount, so what could I do?" Yang Huairen waved his hand, smiling brightly.
As the dishes were served, shortly after they started eating, Yang Huairen cautiously asked Liu Hun, "Mr. Liu, since there are no outsiders here, may I ask a question?"
Seeing Yang Huairen’s cautious demeanor, Liu Hun nodded.
"Are you really one of those people, Mr. Liu? I mean no disrespect; I’m just curious. After all, those people are all very mysterious. As a small county chief, I haven’t seen much of the world, so please don’t take offense." Yang Huairen looked apologetically at Liu Hun.
Gazing at Yang Huairen, Liu Hun slowly put down his chopsticks, took out a napkin to gently wipe his mouth, and then calmly said to Yang Huairen, "There are some things that a small county chief like you shouldn’t know. But since I’m in the Huaihai Province, presumably County Chief Yang has heard of some of my affairs in the Provincial City. With that being the case, why do you think I’d come to Huaihai now? What makes me confident enough that no major families dare to trouble me?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Liu is right to teach me a lesson; I was too curious." Yang Huairen suddenly realized after being told off by Liu Hun.
The powerful families in the Provincial City that Liu Hun had offended were each almost like a giant entity. If Liu Hun were smart, he shouldn’t have come to Huaihai Province. Yet, he came anyway, and in facing those families, he showed no fear.
If it weren’t for the backing of that identity, Liu Hun couldn’t possibly have stayed afloat in Huaihai; this was what Yang Huairen thought at the moment.
But it was a pity, it was all just his imagination, nothing more.
"Alright, now that we’ve eaten, I have to head back to the Provincial City later. But since courtesy calls for reciprocity, and County Chief Yang treated me to a meal, I should reciprocate. If nothing unexpected happens, when County Chief Yang returns and opens your computer, you’ll see something interesting. As for how to handle it, that will depend on County Chief Yang’s ability." Having said this, Liu Hun got up and left the restaurant with Li Dandan.
Watching the two leave, Yang Huairen was momentarily stunned. Before he could speak, his secretary next to him frowned and said, "County Chief, if Liu Hun is truly one of the Dragon Sect, why, after making such a fuss with Han Zhongliang, is he still so calm? It doesn’t seem to fit his character."
"Let’s go, head back first." Yang Huairen frowned, completely understanding the meaning behind his secretary’s words. Should Liu Hun leave, this mess would fall into his hands, and if not handled well, it could spell trouble for him.
Once they hurriedly returned to the office, Yang Huairen opened the computer and saw an anonymous email. Out of curiosity, he clicked it open, skimmed it, and exchanged a shocked glance with his secretary.
The email contained almost all the evidence of Han Zhongliang’s misconduct over the years. If this email were exposed, Yang Huairen could even predict that no matter what powerful backing Han Zhongliang had, he would spend the rest of his life in prison.
"How... how is this possible... how did he accomplish all this in such a short time?" Yang Huairen’s secretary whispered in shock.
Hearing his secretary’s words, Yang Huairen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "After all, he’s from the Dragon Sect; with such a mysterious department, finding these things wasn’t difficult. Alright, you go out for now; let me think about how to handle this. Also, regarding Liu Hun’s girlfriend’s parents, have Hu Hongsheng assign some people to protect them day and night, lest that old fool gets desperate."
"Yes, County Chief Yang." Suppressing his inner shock, the secretary acknowledged before heading out of the room.
