196: Chapter 196 Wang Sen: Who exactly is messing with me?

Master Wang Sen was very irritable. "Come in!"

Seeing that it was Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu who entered, his anger flared up. He fiercely threw the remote control in his hand at him. "Get out!"

The person he hated most right now was Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu!

He had actually led the team to demolish his home personally; he wanted to kill him.

"Bang!"

The remote control smashed violently against Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu's forehead, shattering into pieces. A sharp pain surged, and when Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu touched it, his hand came away sticky and covered in blood.

Ignoring the blood dripping from his forehead, Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu pleaded, "Master Wang, it really wasn't my intention to lead people here to demolish your home; I was forced by circumstances..."

Although he explained himself and apologized repeatedly, he received only a single word: "Get out!"

Master Wang Sen waved his hand and said, "Get out, get out, don't come bother me!"

He didn't want to hear any explanations right now; he was in a very irritable mood.

"Get out!"

Seeing that Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu still hadn't left, Master Wang Sen roared again.

Helpless, Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu could only leave with a sigh. He worried that Master Wang must have a very negative opinion of him now, and it would likely be difficult to continue clinging to this powerful figure in the future.

Sigh, I hope his anger subsides. I'll come back in two or three days to apologize in person.

Master Wang Sen paid no attention to Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu. He had only one thought in his mind: the matter had actually made it onto the Provincial TV Station's "Jiangnan News." It was likely that some big shot wanted to target me.

Hmm, I'll head to the provincial capital first thing tomorrow morning to test the waters and find out exactly who is trying to target me.

I wonder if Zhang Qun knows some inside information. After all, he is a mayor; he should know something.

With this thought in mind, he took out his phone and dialed Zhang Qun's private number.

"Mayor Zhang, it's me."

"Master Wang, it's you." Zhang Qun said apologetically, "I was forced by circumstances to demolish your house. Governor Zhou personally approved it; what could I do?"

Master Wang Sen asked in a deep voice, "Mayor Zhang, tell me, did I unintentionally offend Governor Zhou, and he wants to give me a warning?"

"As for that, I really don't know," Zhang Qun said.

After chatting for a few minutes, he hung up. Master Wang Sen had already made up his mind to set off for the provincial capital first thing tomorrow morning. He would first visit a provincial leader who had a relatively good relationship with him, and finally, go sit with Governor Zhou Yuan.

If he had truly offended Governor Zhou unintentionally, he would offer an apology and hope the matter would pass.

The next morning.

Many people were surprised to discover that overnight, the grand and luxurious Wang Residence had become a pile of ruins; almost all the structures had been demolished.

Some dump trucks were already beginning to haul away the construction debris, load by load.

"The progress is so fast! They started demolishing yesterday afternoon, and it was all leveled in a single night!"

"This current leadership team has guts. A mansion worth two or three hundred million, and they demolished it just like that!"

"Master Wang is probably crying his eyes out in the bathroom right now. I wonder if he'll retaliate!"

"..."

Early in the morning, many ordinary people were buzzing about the demolition of Master Wang Sen's residence. Many gave Qin Chuan a thumbs up, while many more broke into a cold sweat for him.

Master Wang Sen was no ordinary character. Rumor had it that the previous County Party Secretary had been driven away by him.

Arriving fifteen or twenty minutes early, Qin Chuan sat down in his office.

Sitting in his large, comfortable office chair, he looked once more at the two messages refreshed by the system.

1. Master Wang Sen feels that a big shot is targeting him from behind the scenes. He went to the provincial capital early this morning to scout for information and also intends to visit Governor Zhou to test if it is Governor Zhou who is taking action against him.

2. As the largest private enterprise in Wanshun County, Jinguan Group's Chairman Long Qinian became a student of Master Wang Sen in his early years. Very few people know that he is one of Master Wang Sen's disciples. To date, he has illegally raised over ten billion.

These two messages were very important to Qin Chuan, especially the second one.

He certainly knew about Jinguan Group; it started in the garment industry. Later, he went to the capital to study, and then started working in Handong Province, so he just knew relatively little about its recent situation.

To think they illegally raised over ten billion.

How big is Wanshun County? With over ten billion involved, many people have likely invested their entire life savings.

If this bomb goes off, it will instantly bankrupt many people, and the negative impact on Wanshun County's economic development will be enormous.

Since the system had already provided the information, he had to minimize the impact.

While he was thinking about this, Director Hu Bing knocked on the door and entered, reminding him, "Secretary, it is time for the meeting."

There was a meeting of the leadership team this morning, mainly to discuss yesterday's illegal demolition situation, follow-up work arrangements, and so on.

In addition to the leadership team members, Director Zhu Huabing of the Public Security Bureau, Director Hong Guofu of the Urban Management Bureau, and other relevant bureau personnel also attended the meeting.

Qin Chuan walked into the meeting room and sat down in his seat. His gaze fell on Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu's head, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Deputy Secretary Liu, what happened?"

Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu's head was wrapped in gauze, with blood seeping through. It looked like he had injured his forehead, and he looked very disheveled.

"It's... it's nothing. I accidentally fell while walking last night."

In reality, he had been hit by Master Wang Sen with the remote control, but he couldn't say that, so he had to claim he had fallen.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan didn't press the matter or dig for details, but instead said, "Everyone is here, let's start the meeting. Deputy Secretary Liu, please start by introducing the progress of the illegal demolition operation."

What!

I have to introduce it???

Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu was stunned. Yesterday afternoon, he had only stayed at the scene for less than an hour; he had absolutely no idea about the subsequent situation.

"Secretary... Secretary Qin, I fell, went to the hospital to get bandaged, and I'm not very clear about the subsequent situation."

His face burned.

How embarrassing!

As the on-site commander, he actually didn't know the situation.

Qin Chuan's expression sank slightly. He didn't give Deputy Secretary Liu any face at all, criticizing him directly in front of everyone. "Deputy Secretary Liu, you are incompetent as an on-site commander. To actually not be clear about the situation—write a self-criticism yourself and hand it to me after the meeting."

Being in the wrong, Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu was helpless and had to say, "Secretary Qin, I really should write a self-criticism."

He said this on the surface, but inside, he was extremely aggrieved.

He was a dignified Deputy Party Secretary, the number three official, and he actually had to write a self-criticism? That guy named Qin, you are pushing too far; this is outrageous!

But he didn't dare to show it on his face because he knew he was completely in the wrong. If he started an argument, he would be the one losing face, and he might even get severely reprimanded by Qin Chuan.

"Who will introduce the current progress of the demolition?"

County Mayor Sheng Huaian said, "Let me introduce it. As of now, all the buildings have been leveled. Starting this morning, cleanup work has begun to haul away and clear all the construction debris. It will take about two or three days to have it all cleared away..."
