Chapter 319 A Fight to the Death
Chapter 319 A Fight to the Death
The sweltering heat did not deter the two young people from embracing.
Sweat soaked through their clothes, their sweat mingled, and their body heat flowed between them...
Tingting first let go of Dawei and gave him a hearty smile.
I love your straightforwardness.
Say what you mean.
At least you didn't lie to me.
Not lying is the greatest kindness.
Go back now, drive carefully.
David wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling quite ashamed: "Send me a message when you get home to let me know you're safe."
Tingting took two steps, then turned back and looked at Dawei with heartache.
"Ah Wei, let go of the hatred in your heart."
Zhou Xiangzhang is dead.
You should live your own life now.
After saying that, he turned around and quickly entered the waiting hall.
David stood in the blazing sun, silent for a long time.
The two police officers from the remote mountainous county in the car behind them watched from a distance, barely daring to breathe.
Under the blazing sun, Dawei put on an eye patch and stood on the scorching floor tiles, recalling Tingting's words from earlier.
It seems that calling Tingting a modern-day Huang Rong wasn't an exaggeration.
This little girl is really thoughtful; she truly understands me.
Since taking office.
The cruelest thing Dawei did was drive Zhou Xiangzhang to her death.
This matter actually runs counter to my overall goal—to achieve economic growth for the entire county.
Reconciling with Zhou Xiangzhang, controlling Zhou Xiangzhang, and directly acquiring Zhou Xiangzhang and the resources behind her, coupled with Dawei's own resources and new projects, will make achieving our goals much easier.
But David insisted on getting rid of it.
Dawei's stated reasons and stance were to rectify officialdom and were a work requirement.
Only David knew that it was because of the hatred in his heart.
This hatred has reached the point of no return.
Zhou Xiangzhang harmed Dawei's mother, killed County Chief Qiao, and his son even stole Dawei's wife...
Moreover, Dawei was powerless to fight back and had no way to seek justice.
The people he encountered would have been unbearable for most people, leading them to take extreme measures.
Unexpectedly, Ding Tingting could see that Dawei's hatred stemmed from resentment, and that this hatred had not been resolved by Zhou Xiangzhang's death.
This hatred continued to spread and expand, eventually landing on Chen Tiecai and his son Chen Wei.
David simply held back from issuing the message.
It was precisely because of this deep-seated hatred that Dawei was so determined to climb the social ladder, so desperately wanted that girl from Kyoto, and remained single...
Because David has something big to do.
We need to take care of Chen Wei and his son.
We must hold our heads high and be proud.
We can no longer be bullied, no longer be poor, and no longer live a life of hardship.
I also want to see if the laws of Heaven truly have cause and effect regarding good and evil.
Those bastards, do they really not have a good ending?
If he can't defeat these people, then Dawei will be completely disheartened and will no longer believe in anything, and will simply give up.
As the book says:
Throughout history, the power of hatred has been what has motivated a person to strive for improvement.
Love makes people vulnerable, helpless, and suspicious.
Only hatred can be transformed into a weapon, growing a hard shell to protect a bleeding heart.
David rose to power, keeping his resentment hidden in his heart and never telling anyone.
But Ding Tingting discovered it.
The feeling was as if an arrow had shot from a thousand miles away and hit the spot right between the eyebrows—it caught me completely off guard and felt incredible.
After finishing his cigarette, David got into the car.
Yes, he was indeed somewhat moved.
But he had to harden his heart.
Don't change your plans just because you're moved.
The attitude towards Ding Tingting had been decided long ago: the "three no's principle".
Once an official is appointed, their position cannot be changed.
"Someone always has to make a sacrifice."
Back in the county.
Zheng Zhiguo couldn't wait to walk into Dawei's office and report to Dawei what had happened in Qinghe City the night before.
"You have a really good eye for people."
Chen Xianping did a great job last night.
This kid didn't let us down.
Good guy.
One dagger against four.
As they were leaving, they knocked several people to the ground.
They've all been arrested.
David looked up and quickly glanced at him; he had come to deliver good news.
Zheng Zhiguo didn't expect that Dawei wouldn't praise him, but instead poured cold water on him.
"What good would it do to arrest them?"
The thugs who harassed Director Wu's son in the past have been arrested, but the real culprits behind them haven't been caught.
Three people who were soliciting drugs at Shengshi KTV were arrested, but were later rescued.
That kid surnamed Zhao who destroyed Sister Qiufeng's woodland, wasn't he arrested by you guys later? So what?
Are all these scoundrels ever caught?
The person in charge has plenty of money; once they catch this person, they can immediately hire someone else to do the job.
If the main party stops doing it, this kind of thing will keep happening.
You, the dignified director of the county public security bureau, are about to be transferred to the county political and legal affairs commission, and will at least become the deputy secretary of the county political and legal affairs commission in the future.
"Such a big shot, arresting only these petty thugs, isn't that overkill, Director Zheng?"
Dawei's words were like knives, slicing across Zheng Zhiguo's face, causing him pain and a burning sensation.
He nervously fidgeted with his handbag, coughed twice, and said, "County Magistrate..."
You are unaware of something.
It's not that we're not going to investigate the mastermind behind it.
Those people are really difficult to deal with.
All the necessary measures have been taken.
They were too resilient; the pressure from the person behind them was immense, and they dared not admit it or explain themselves.
I've said it all outright; I've beaten them quite a bit.
There was nothing they could do; they simply wouldn't reveal the mastermind.
I know, it's Jiang Xiong.
But we are a law enforcement agency. To arrest someone, we need evidence and we must follow the law.
We cannot arrest people based on guesswork.
Jiang Xiong has several legal professionals who know this stuff inside and out; Old Xu from the prosecutor's office won't approve the arrest...
Zheng Zhiguo felt wronged and poured out his grievances.
It's not that he doesn't do his job.
For example, the man surnamed Zhao who was caught at the Wansheng Stone Factory last time insisted that he disliked Lin Qiufeng and Lin Lao Er's family.
They just wanted to cause destruction and ruin other people's forest land.
They insisted that no one had instructed them to do it.
There's absolutely nothing we can do.
Although the Wufeng Public Security Bureau was handling the case, Zheng Zhiguo had been there quite a few times.
Zheng Zhiguo also went to the home of this man surnamed Zhao in private and summoned his wife and parents one after another.
They even went to the man's son's school to talk to him.
Jointly exert pressure.
But this guy surnamed Zhao just wouldn't admit that anyone was instigating him.
They managed to withstand such immense pressure.
Zheng Zhiguo felt a bit irritated when he thought about this: "It's not that this Zhao guy is particularly loyal or follows the rules."
Actually, it's just that the people behind it are too ruthless.
They were afraid.
Their fear of Jiang Xiong far exceeded their fear of going to jail.
So they chose the lesser of two evils.
County Magistrate, it's not that I, Zheng Zhiguo, am negligent.
Jiang Xiong is involved in organized crime and uses ruthless methods; they can take people's lives.
Moreover, he has the advantage of being a local, born and raised in the area, and generous with his money, so many locals are willing to work for him.
There's a saying that being chosen by Chiang Kai-shek was a blessing.
One of my agents once heard a rumor that if someone lost their life for Chiang Kai-shek, they could get at least 200 million.
This number could change the fate of a family.
Jiang Xiong had been in the area for many years and had a good reputation; quite a few people were willing to risk their lives for him.
In our Yuanshan County, every family has many children.
Some families have four or five boys; if one dies, the other family becomes wealthy. They really are capable of doing that.
