67: Chapter 67 First, cut off one of his arms.

This subordinate looked helpless, sighing, "Boss, I have verified it. The matter is absolutely true!"

Young Master Fu seemed to sense something was wrong and asked in a deep voice, "What on earth is going on!"

Knife Brother looked miserable.

The matter that was supposed to be a sure thing had actually been botched!

"Young Master Fu... please don't be angry, let me explain first..."

He roughly explained what had happened.

After listening, Young Master Fu's face turned completely dark, a stark contrast to his earlier beaming expression.

"Trash!"

"Damn it, what a piece of trash. You can't even handle a small matter like this!"

"What use are you to me!"

He had already considered the candidate for the top position in Dahe Township, and was even thinking about how to mine the Jiucailing Coal Mine and make a fortune, but in the end, they told him it had failed, and Lao Liu and the other two were all arrested and were now being held at the Sanjiang County Public Security Bureau.

Knife Brother looked at the furious Young Master Fu and mustered his courage to remind him, "Young Master Fu, the most urgent matter now is to get Sanjiang County to release them."

He knew better than anyone what Lao Liu and his men had done.

It was enough to get them executed several times over.

What he was even more worried about was that Lao Liu knew too many things; if he confessed to the police, that would be trouble.

Young Master Fu ignored Knife Brother and the others, walking away angrily while cursing.

...

In the afternoon.

Not long after Qin Chuan finished his call with Director Luo Bing, Director Hu Qibin knocked and entered.

"Secretary, Township Head Chen has returned. According to my inquiries and understanding, he went to Dongzhou City today."

Heh.

No need to guess, he must have gone to latch onto Young Master Fu's coattails.

"Call him over; I have something to ask him."

"Okay, I'll go call him right away."

A few minutes later, Township Head Chen Qunfeng came over, putting on a humble posture, "Secretary Qin, you wanted to see me."

Qin Chuan kept a straight face, "Township Head Chen, I heard you went to Dongzhou City and met with Young Master Fu. How was it? Did you manage to latch onto Young Master Fu's coattails?"

"No, no, I just had a few drinks with Young Master Fu... No, no, I went to the county hospital for a check-up, I didn't go to Dongzhou City."

Qin Chuan said, "Stop pretending. I know you went to latch onto his coattails. Let me tell you, the thigh you've chosen is unreliable and will be broken sooner or later."

With a stern face, Qin Chuan gave Township Head Chen Qunfeng a dressing down.

When in a bad mood, scolding or even reprimanding Township Head Chen Qunfeng seemed to be quite satisfying.

After such a dressing down, his mood, which had been a bit sour after being attacked that morning, felt much better now.

It was unclear when it started, but Township Head Chen Qunfeng had gained a new use: acting as a punching bag.

Coming out of the Party Committee office, Township Head Chen Qunfeng's face was twisted in anger, and he thought resentfully, 'That Qin guy is bullying people too much. Offending Young Master Fu, you'll be finished sooner or later.'

After dressing down Township Head Chen Qunfeng, Qin Chuan felt it was necessary to make a trip to the county.

As for this Township Head Chen Qunfeng, he no longer planned to keep him.

After dealing with Young Master Fu, he would be next.

Earlier, Director Luo Bing had called to say that several leaders had already called him, either asking about the situation or even demanding that he release the people, including a deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Director Luo Bing was under great pressure.

Fortunately, after County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang found out, he had already helped block it; otherwise, as a small County Bureau director, how could he withstand the pressure from the city?

Qin Chuan arrived at the county.

He went to see County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang first.

Hearing that Qin Chuan had been attacked, County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was unharmed; if something had really happened, he reckoned his position as County Party Secretary would be at an end.

Seeing Qin Chuan enter, he immediately stood up, looking concerned, "Comrade Qin Chuan, are you alright? You scared me to death."

Qin Chuan said, "I was lucky, I'm fine."

"That's good, that's good," County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang said. "I have already instructed the County Bureau to investigate this matter in depth."

Qin Chuan was also here for this matter.

It was necessary to investigate deeply and grasp some evidence.

He had already made up his mind to first take down Knife Brother, the underground force entrenched in Dongzhou City, and sever one of Young Master Fu's arms.

Open spears are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against. Although Qin Chuan had good martial arts skills, he was still afraid of hidden arrows.

Without this underground force, Young Master Fu wouldn't be able to play dirty, and at the very least, he would be much safer.

As for playing by the rules, Qin Chuan wasn't afraid of him at all.

"Secretary Cao, that's what I think too. We must investigate deeply and root out the forces behind this."

After chatting for a while, Qin Chuan went to sit with County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong.

County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong's attitude was the same, and he even called the main comrades of the County Bureau in front of Qin Chuan, explicitly demanding an in-depth investigation into the matter.

After sitting with the two leaders, Qin Chuan went to Director Luo Bing's place.

With the instructions from the County Party Secretary and the County Magistrate, Director Luo Bing was much more confident; he sternly rejected everyone who called to demand the release of the people.

Qin Chuan talked with Director Luo Bing for a long time.

He didn't expect him to master ironclad proof, but having some clues and some evidence would be enough.

As long as he had these things, he could report to the Handong Province Public Security Department and demand that they take down Knife Brother's criminal gang.

Coupled with his own background, the Provincial Public Security Department would certainly attach great importance to it and send a special investigation team directly into Dongzhou City.

After talking for a long time, the two even had dinner together and had a few drinks.

On the morning of the first day, Director Luo Bing indeed found criminal evidence of Knife Brother's group and also found that Lao Liu was acting on Knife Brother's instructions.

After obtaining this evidence, Qin Chuan did not take the train, because there were only two or three trains from Sanjiang County to the provincial capital. Driven by Chen Haisheng, they took the national highway and then the expressway, arriving at the Provincial Public Security Department at one o'clock in the afternoon.

The old man said not to use his name, but this time, Qin Chuan was prepared to push the boundaries.

His own words carried little weight; even if he reported it as the Dahe Township Party Committee Secretary, he reckoned it wouldn't attract much attention.

Even if it did catch the attention of the Public Security Department, he reckoned it would be a long time before they sent people to Dongzhou City to investigate, and Qin Chuan couldn't wait that long.

After a simple lunch outside the Public Security Department, shortly after two o'clock, Qin Chuan brought the evidence materials and walked into the Public Security Department, going directly to find Director Jiang Weiliang.

Director Jiang Weiliang was firmly in the Qin Faction; there were rumors that he would soon ascend to the position of Provincial Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, because he often went to report work to Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong, and even occasionally went to the Provincial Party Committee Villa No. 1. He had met Qin Chuan once.

In addition, when he was in Jinzhu Township, he had accompanied Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong, and had also met Qin Chuan.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?"

Standing at the door of the Director's office of the Public Security Department, just as he was about to knock, he was stopped by a man in his thirties, who was likely Director Jiang's secretary.

"Hello, I'm looking for Director Jiang."

"Which unit are you from, what's your name, do you have an appointment?"

Qin Chuan said, "I am the Party Committee Secretary of Dahe Township, named Qin Chuan. I don't have an appointment, but I am familiar with Director Jiang. Please help me announce it."

No appointment, that wouldn't do.

What, you are familiar with Director Jiang...

The man didn't dare to do anything; he believed no one would dare to tell such a lie, so he just hesitated slightly before knocking on the door to announce him.
