329: Chapter 329 Sweeping Them All

When had the dignified "Master Xun" ever been pointed at and called an idiot?

Once his temper flared up, Chairman Chen Zhixun didn't care if it was a man or a woman. He stepped forward and, without a word, slapped the woman hard across the face.

"Slap!"

The sound was crisp and loud.

Many people nearby cheered loudly.

"Good!"

"Nice hit!"

"This woman really deserved to be slapped!"

"..."

The woman was dazed, freezing for several seconds before reacting. Her face burned with pain; she never imagined anyone would dare hit her in Guangming District.

"You... you actually dared to hit me!"

"You stinking loser, you're dead! I'm going to kill your whole family!"

"Slap!"

Another hard slap. Chairman Chen Zhixun wouldn't indulge her and warned, "Keep your mouth clean, or I'll slap you to death."

After being slapped twice, the woman didn't dare do anything, likely fearing more. She tearfully took out her phone and called, "Brother Dao, I've been hit, boohoo..."

After finishing the call, her courage seemed to grow as she dared to threaten, "If you have the guts, don't leave! Brother Dao is coming right now!"

Outsiders didn't know who "Brother Dao" was, but some locals did, and many people having breakfast here were locals.

"No way, Brother Dao is the boss of Guangming District. Does this woman have a relationship with him?"

"Maybe. Look at her luxury goods; that Porsche parked at the street corner should be hers too. She might be Brother Dao's woman."

"It's over, it's over. Brother Dao is notoriously fierce. These two are probably in for it."

"..."

Qin Chuan had good hearing and caught all the discussions around him. He smiled disdainfully, thinking it was some big figure, only to find out it was just a local thug leader in Guangming District.

Within a few minutes, a man with a bald head, tattoos on his body, and a shocking scar running from the corner of his eye to his mouth appeared. He must be the "Brother Dao" the woman mentioned.

Several punks with dyed yellow hair followed behind him as they approached aggressively. He shouted from afar, "Who hit my girl? Step forward!"

The diners scattered out of the way; some timid ones quickly paid their bills and left, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

Chairman Chen Zhixun said nonchalantly, "I hit your woman. What, you want to make a move on me?"

Scarface's gaze landed on Chairman Chen Zhixun. A glance told him he didn't recognize him. He knew everyone with some power in Guangming District, and even many people in the entire Jiangcheng City, but there was no one like Chen Zhixun.

"Which hand did it? Stick it out; I'm going to chop it off."

"What, not going to stick it out voluntarily? Then it won't be as simple as just chopping off a hand. You'd better think carefully."

Chairman Chen Zhixun stood up and mocked, "Kid, you're quite arrogant. Do you know who I am? Believe it or not, I can take care of you with a single phone call."

"I don't believe it. If you have the guts, call right in front of me." Scarface was even more arrogant, not afraid at all because there was no such figure in the entire Jiangcheng City. Why should he be afraid?

The Chen family's roots in Jiangbei Province were quite deep. The highest-ranking official in the Chen family's faction was the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Jiangbei Province, Executive Deputy County Head Zhou Liang.

"Secretary Zhou, in broad daylight, I'm being publicly threatened at Shilimiao Food Street in Guangming District by someone named Scarface, who claims he'll chop off my hand. The public security in your Jiangbei Province is really a bit poor."

What!

To think such a thing was happening.

Executive Deputy County Head Zhou Liang was furious and immediately called the Director of the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau. Consequently, the entire Jiangcheng City was shaken.

Qin Chuan quietly watched Chairman Chen Zhixun make the call, having no intention of intervening. "Master Xun" could completely handle such a small matter.

Then he looked at the scar-faced man, who still didn't realize the danger he was in, and smiled meaningfully because he recognized who this person was.

Yesterday, he had checked Deputy Party Secretary Liao Deyuan's information through the system and knew about many of his corrupt activities. One of them was that he was the biggest umbrella for criminal gangs in the entire Guangming District, having previously served a term as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Guangming District before being promoted to Deputy District Party Secretary two years ago.

Scarface was someone he had cultivated to help him with dirty work—a typical "black glove." Scarface had always fawningly called Liao Deyuan his godfather.

Qin Chuan had promised to give District Mayor Shao Changqing a gift today—the corruption materials regarding Liao Deyuan. At that time, everyone, including Scarface, could be caught in one net.

"Kid, finished your call? Which hand? Stick it out."

Generally speaking, when a call is made, if the person on the other end is someone powerful, they would definitely ask him to take the phone. The other party would identify themselves to apply pressure or plead for mercy. But that didn't happen; Chairman Chen Zhixun just put his phone away after finishing the call.

Scarface had never heard of this Secretary Zhou he mentioned; regardless, there was no Secretary Zhou in Guangming District.

Chairman Chen Zhixun looked at Scarface indifferently, as if looking at a dead man. Within two minutes, Scarface's phone rang.

It was a call from Deputy Party Secretary Liao Deyuan himself.

"Are you f*cking threatening to chop off someone's hand at Shilimiao Food Street? You're f*cking looking for death..."

As soon as the call connected, Liao Deyuan's furious voice came through. There were also sounds of a car door closing and the engine starting; clearly, Liao Deyuan was rushing over in a hurry.

Just now, the Secretary of the Jiangcheng City Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau had called him one after another, scaring him to death. He knew this fellow Scarface had poked a hole in the sky.

Within a few minutes, Deputy Party Secretary Liao Deyuan was the first to arrive.

He almost jogged the whole way, covered in sweat. The first thing he did upon arriving was slap Scarface hard and then shout angrily, "Get out of here!"

He was trying to protect Scarface by letting him leave first.

Chairman Chen Zhixun said, "He can't leave."

Deputy Party Secretary Liao Deyuan put on a forced smile. "Chairman Chen, it's all a misunderstanding between our own people. This fellow is my godson. He offended you just now; I apologize to you."

He knew Chairman Chen Zhixun. For the past two days, District Mayor Shao Changqing had basically been accompanying him to inspect the investment environment in Guangming District. It was said he came from the capital and had great power and background.

This had now been proven; he was indeed very powerful. The leaders of Jiangcheng City had all called, and he might have even alerted the provincial leaders.

Chairman Chen Zhixun said coldly, "Secretary Liao, you and I are not on the same side. This scar-faced fellow is quite the big shot. I suspect he's the leader of a criminal gang and must be arrested for a thorough investigation."

Before Deputy Party Secretary Liao Deyuan could reply, he saw District Mayor Shao Changqing approaching with Bureau Chief Zhu Zheng and others. His heart sank slightly, knowing this matter wouldn't end well.

He glared fiercely at Scarface. "Motherf*cker, of all people to offend, you had to offend Chairman Chen. Now even I can't protect you!"
