282: Chapter 282 Street Racers, Delinquent Girls

Northwest Province, Xihe City.

Qin Chuan and his team of four arrived here, keeping a low profile.

They did not alert anyone, including the Northwest Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Their main strategy was to conduct a quiet investigation, get a clear picture of the situation first, and then proceed.

It was already evening when they reached Xihe City.

They checked into a standard hotel in Xihe City for the day, each taking a single room. By the time they were settled, the sky had turned dark, and the city lights were beginning to twinkle.

"Everyone must be hungry, right? Let's go find a place to grab a bite."

Because of the Heishanzi mining area, Xihe City was quite lively, especially at night, with many street food stalls along the roads.

Qin Chuan saw a street food stall doing good business and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go with this one. Does anyone have any dietary restrictions?"

Secretary Lu Wangshu smiled and said, "None at all. When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

The four of them found a table and sat down. They ordered a pitcher of beer, some lamb skewers, sheep heads, sheep trotters, and other items. Their staple food consisted of meat burgers, noodles, and so on.

This was a main street in Xihe City, crowded and lively.

However...

They had only been sitting and eating for a few minutes when a shocking scene unfolded. Several supercars roared past from a distance, then sped away, quickly disappearing at the end of the street.

This...

Including Qin Chuan, all four of them looked at each other in dismay.

My god, this was the bustling city center, a main thoroughfare, and yet people were drag racing without any scruples. They were all supercars; even the cheapest one looked like it cost at least one or two million.

Old Liu, who was over forty and a veteran of the Discipline Inspection Commission, was encountering such a situation for the first time. He was first stunned, then looked indignant.

"This is completely lawless! Is there no one here to manage this?!"

Because of his anger, his voice was inevitably a bit loud, and some people nearby heard him.

A middle-aged man smiled and said, "Brother, you must be from out of town."

Old Liu asked, "How did you know?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Only people from out of town find this strange. We locals are already used to it. Every few days, this gang races through the downtown area."

It seemed the middle-aged man had been drinking a bit, his face flushed, and he was quite talkative. "See that red Ferrari? The one driving is the daughter of the head of Heishanzi Mining Group, President Su. That yellow supercar next to it belongs to the son of Vice President Liu. And the others are basically all young masters from Heishanzi Mining Group..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted.

The middle-aged woman next to him, presumably his wife, slapped him angrily. "Had a few drinks and now you're spouting off about anything? You want to die, don't drag us mother and daughter into it."

Scolded by his wife, the man stopped talking and buried his head in his drink.

Although he only said a few sentences, the amount of information revealed was huge.

Qin Chuan, Secretary Lu Wangshu, and the others exchanged glances.

If what this man said was true, and the children of leaders were openly drag racing in the city center, all in supercars, then the problem was serious.

Their professional sensitivity told them that, if handled poorly, this could involve a severe case of systematic corruption.

The mood of the four of them became much heavier.

About twenty or thirty minutes later, they had finished eating when the roar of supercars came from afar again—the kind with the accelerator floored.

Perhaps this gang had taken a big loop and returned here.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw several supercars roaring over. The street was in chaos, with pedestrians scattering to both sides.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, one of the supercars crashed into a utility pole on the side of the road. The front of the car was smashed to pieces; it looked like it was totaled.

The other supercars stopped one after another. The people getting out were all young men and women. The leader was actually a young woman.

She had dyed yellow hair, wore non-mainstream clothes, had a nose ring, and even a tattoo on her face, looking just like a little delinquent girl.

After the accident, a crowd of onlookers quickly gathered.

"Tsk tsk, a supercar worth millions, just wasted like that. These people are really rich!"

"I wonder if they are okay. It would be best if they died!"

"Such a pretty young girl, and she has tattoos and a nose ring. So ugly!"

"Keep your voice down, don't let them hear you!"

"..."

The leading little delinquent girl walked over, looked at the situation inside the car, and said with some impatience, "Are you dead? If not, get out. We still need to go 'skating'."

The person in the car had at most minor injuries. As expected of a supercar, even with such a bad crash, the person was fine. They were just a bit dizzy earlier, but now they were much better, and the driver pushed the door open and got out.

After getting out, he kicked the car. He didn't plan to keep this car; he would just buy another one another day.

"Go, go, get in the car."

The little delinquent girl waved and shouted. She prepared to climb into that red Ferrari herself. There was still some "ice" in the car, the high-purity kind, bought from a friend in the provincial capital, and she was planning to go "skating" right now.

After such a big car accident, the traffic police arrived quickly.

A middle-aged traffic police officer, accompanied by a young traffic police officer, saw who this group was. The middle-aged officer's gaze tightened; he knew the matter was quite tricky.

A newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger. The young traffic police officer took a breathalyzer and said, "Who was driving? Come on, blow into this first."

The little delinquent girl didn't take the traffic police seriously at all and directly said, "Get lost, get lost to the side."

The young traffic police officer's face changed, and he was about to explode. The middle-aged traffic police officer next to him immediately grabbed him. "Little Zhao, calm down."

The little delinquent girl looked at the two traffic police officers with disdain and then waved her hand, saying, "Go, get in the car, Huangchao Club!"

The other drag racing party members whistled provocatively at the two police officers, got into their cars one after another, and the supercars left quickly.

The young traffic police officer said unwillingly, "Master, they were clearly drunk driving. I even smelled the alcohol."

"Forget it, forget it." The middle-aged traffic police officer said, "Don't look for trouble. These people are not to be trifled with. Even if you arrest them, they will be released very soon."

After speaking, he shook his head bitterly.

They were all scions of the Heishanzi Mining Group; they couldn't be offended, really couldn't be offended.

In Xihe City, the Heishanzi Mining Group was a special existence. It had a high rank, a deputy ministerial-level unit, which did not belong to Xihe City, and was not even under the jurisdiction of Northwest Province.

It had strong independence, with its own hospitals, schools, Police Stations, and so on. The leaders of the Heishanzi Mining Group could give no face to Xihe City, but the leaders of Xihe City dared not offend them.

Qin Chuan had seen everything clearly and shook his head lightly.

It seemed that the water in the Heishanzi Mining Group was very deep; no one dared to do anything to it, and it was very likely to involve collective corruption.

Whether those high-level officials were collectively corrupt, he would know after checking with the system when he got back to the hotel.

"Let's go, let's go back to the hotel. Tomorrow morning we will go to the Heishanzi mining area."

The mining area was more than twenty kilometers away from the city. Tens of thousands of people lived there, almost an independent kingdom. So he would go there to take a look tomorrow.

Back in the hotel room, the first thing Qin Chuan did was use the system to check the situation of Su Liang, the general manager and chairman of the Heishanzi Mining Group.
