After the two cars left, the young man who had escaped poked his head out of the nearby jungle. He had heard Li Zhongshan's words clearly.

Then, the young man sprinted frantically towards his home. If it were before, he might have remained indifferent. But after accompanying Li Zhongshan on this visit, he realized that Li Zhongshan genuinely wanted to solve the problem. Meeting such an official was rare, so he resolutely decided to seek help from the City Committee.

He quickly jumped onto his Wuyang motorcycle at home and sped towards the city.

At the entrance of the City Committee, only a few security guards on duty remained. Today was the first day of the New Year; who would stay at work except for the necessary positions? Most other posts had already gone on holiday. Workers who worked overtime during the New Year would receive triple pay as compensation.

Two security guards were chatting and smoking at the entrance of the City Committee, puffing clouds of smoke. The festive mood was good; early this morning, Tang Yumeng had wished everyone a Happy New Year and even gave a two-hundred-yuan red envelope. These two hundred yuan were equivalent to two days' wages, so they were excited and happy, each carrying a pack of Furongwang to reward themselves.

Suddenly, a motorcycle with full throttle sped over.

The security guards were immediately frightened. At this speed, the barrier gate would be broken. So, the two rushed out, shouting, "Stop, stop!!"

The motorcycle suddenly made a one-hundred-eighty-degree turn, the tires skidding on the ground, and then stopped. The young man shouted, "Help, help!"

"What's going on?" someone shouting for help on the New Year was not a good omen. The two security guards quickly asked, "What happened? Quickly, tell us, what exactly happened?"

The young man on the motorcycle hurriedly said, "Is there someone named Li Zhongshan at the City Committee? Do you know him?"

"Li Zhongshan?" One security guard was stunned and exclaimed, "Isn't that Director Li?"

"Yes, yes, he claims to be a director of some Internet Monitoring Bureau." The young motorcycle man quickly nodded.

"What happened?" the security guard asked.

"It's not good, he was taken away by a group of thugs." The young man on the motorcycle said with a serious expression, "Before he was taken, he shouted for me to come to the City Committee for help. What do you say... should we quickly go save him?"

"Us?!" the two security guards were stunned.

"Yes, yes." The young man on the motorcycle was confused for a moment, not realizing that the two guards were not at all a match for the opponents. He could only shout, "Come on, follow me."

"No, no, let's figure it out first." The security guard said awkwardly, "Just the three of us, there's no way we could match them."

Upon hearing this, the young man on the motorcycle felt it made sense and quickly said, "Then what do we do? There are a dozen strong men, and the three of us are indeed no match for them."

"No, we need to hurry and inform Secretary Tang." The security guard quickly said, "But we don't have Secretary Tang's phone number."

"Although we don't have Secretary Tang's number, we have Lin Chuan's number." Another security guard quickly said, "As long as we find Lin Chuan, we can find a way to contact Secretary Tang, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" the security guard quickly nodded.

Then, they immediately dialed Lin Chuan's number.

On the first day of the New Year, it was a time to visit relatives and friends. At this time, everyone had returned from other places, dragging their families along. Friends not seen in years could finally meet now. During this time, Zhou Kai and his friends were in high spirits. Friends returning from other places saw Zhou Kai and his group were doing well, and hearing that Zhou Kai's group had established a company made them extremely envious.

Lin Chuan was having tea with some brothers at the Eight Horses Tea House. Suddenly, a call came in.

After taking the call, Lin Chuan immediately stood up and said into the phone, "Okay, I'll be right over, don't go anywhere."

Lu Dapao was startled, "Chuan, what's wrong?"

"There's something wrong." Lin Chuan put his phone in his pocket and then said, "Da Pao, come with me."

Clatter...

Lu Dapao quickly ran inside to grab a dagger and slipped it into his coat, then followed Lin Chuan out of the room.

A Jinbei van quickly moved towards the direction of the City Committee.

At the entrance of the City Committee, the young man on the motorcycle and the two security guards were anxiously waiting. The three of them were eagerly looking down the road, hoping to see Lin Chuan soon. However, they had been looking for a long time and didn't see Lin Chuan come.

"How long do we have to wait?" the young man on the motorcycle anxiously said, "It's been an hour now, and if no one comes, it'll get dark."

In the afternoon of the first day of the New Year, winter nights fall early.

The security guard said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, as long as Lin Chuan comes, the matter will be resolved."

"Is it that miraculous?" the young man on the motorcycle curiously asked.

"Of course!" The security guard immediately nodded, "Lin Chuan is a well-known figure in Jiangbei City. With him involved, nothing is unsolvable."

"Who is Lin Chuan?" The young man obviously didn't know Lin Chuan. He had been working outside for many years and rarely came to the city, so he was not familiar with the situation in Jiangbei City. As such, he had no idea about Lin Chuan.

"Heh, this person..." The security guard chuckled thoughtfully and said, "When you get a chance, just ask around about Lin Chuan in Jiangbei City, and you'll find out how ignorant you are."

Just as a few people were chatting, a Jinbei van sped up to them. It arrived quickly, reaching the scene in just a blink of an eye.

Lin Chuan and Lu Dapao jumped out of the vehicle.

"Lin Chuan!" The security guard hurried over and anxiously said, "Li Zhongshan has been captured by someone, you should quickly ask Secretary Tang for help."

"Tell me what's going on first." Lin Chuan said calmly, with a cigarette in his mouth, his expression unruffled.

At this moment, the young man hastily explained the situation to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan frowned and said, "So, you're saying this has a lot to do with Hengshan Town?"

"Yes, it's definitely like that." The motorbike young man nodded immediately.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to Hengshan Town and demand them to release the person." Lin Chuan said.

The motorbike young man immediately got on his motorbike and drove quickly towards the Hengshan Town government.

Hengshan Town government is only three kilometers away from Wuluo Village. But the City Committee is nearly ten kilometers away. The young man raced his motorbike all the way through these ten kilometers. Upon reaching Hengshan Town, the place was quiet, and two stone lions stood imposingly. Only an elderly security guard was on duty at the entrance.

"Who are you here to see?" the security guard asked.

"Sir, the town government isn't working today?" Lin Chuan walked over with a smile and handed him a cigarette.

"This group of people stopped coming to work long ago." The security guard chuckled.

"Where do they usually hang out?" Lin Chuan asked.

"The town's secretary and a few vice secretaries like to gather at a local restaurant by the bridge." The guard laughed, "I bet they're having a feast there now. If you go there, you're sure to find them."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan immediately led his people to get in the car and leave.

The motorbike young man also immediately got on his motorbike and sped away. Riding a motorbike in the dead of winter was torturous, the dry cold wind cracked the skin on one's face and blew straight into one's sleeves. The young man gripped the accelerator with one hand, and with the other hand tucked in his pocket.

Sure enough, by the bridge was a rather large local restaurant.

On New Year's Day evening, business was booming. Even in the suburbs at this time, many people didn't want to cook at home. They flocked to the local restaurant to open a table. Families continued to gather here on New Year's Day evening. For them, dining together was the most important form of reunion.

As they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, the van came to a stop. The young man quickly came over and said, "Lin Chuan, they outnumber us, we might not be able to take them on."

Lu Dapao laughed and said, "Kid, don't worry, even if none of us make a move, Brother Chuan alone can teach them a lesson."

"Uh..." The young man seemed a bit skeptical, looking at Lin Chuan and seeing no difference from an ordinary person. Was it just that he was a bit more handsome? The young man smiled and said, "Alright, I'll... I'll go in and check the situation first, and if I find anything, I'll come out and let you know."

With that, the motorbike young man immediately turned and entered the restaurant.

Lu Dapao curiously asked, "Is this kid reliable?"

"Shouldn't be bad," Lin Chuan exhaled a puff of smoke.

Soon, the young man indeed came running out from inside, shouting as he ran, "They're in the biggest private room inside. There's a group of them. And some staff from the town government!"

"Let's go!" Lin Chuan threw away the cigarette in his hand, then led Lu Dapao and the young man inside.

It was the time for afternoon dining, and the local restaurant was bustling. A group of people was very busy. The restaurant owner was very excited. New Year's Day, business flourishing, wasn't this a sign of a good start? The morning's firecrackers weren't in vain. Everyone was very excited.

Lin Chuan grabbed someone and headed towards a private room on the third floor.

The room was large, with a round table that could seat twenty-two people. Inside was also a mahjong machine, automatically dealing for a game of mahjong. Several people beside it were playing "dou niu," and more than a dozen people were watching, the scene lively. "Dou niu" started at a hundred per game. As for mahjong, that easily went up to a thousand per game.

Just as the room was bustling with activity,

Bang...

Suddenly, the door of the private room was kicked open. Lin Chuan and his two companions walked in.

Everyone in the private room was startled by the loud sound at the door. All of them looked towards the door in unison. Lin Chuan, leading the two into the room, casually asked, "Who is the head of Hengshan Town?"
