Chapter 2505: Chapter 2408: Cuff Them All

"The land in Xiakan Village originally belonged to them. You forcibly bought and occupied it, which makes you wrong from the start. You didn’t even restrain yourself and went as far as digging up people’s ancestral graves; has your conscience rotted to its core already?"

"The ancients always said ’Rest in peace when buried.’ You just bulldozed their graves like that. These ancestors never came to find you in dreams at night?"

"Compensation, you speak of it lightly, but those tombs and bones that have vanished, how will you compensate for them? Can you even find them?"

"You’ve committed heinous acts to the bitter end. Haven’t you thought about what kind of outcome you’ll face one day?"

"I advise you to beware. If someone else had encountered this situation, they might plead or bleed out some money and the matter would be resolved. But you’re unlucky enough to cross paths with me."

"I am determined to take your miserable life!"

Saying this, Huo Sining didn’t even bother to look at Lei De, and directly shouted at Du Wenfeng and Tan Minghui beside her:

"Secretary Du, Bureau Chief Tan, this person has many issues: forcibly occupying forests, oppressing villagers, bribing officials, and having major murder suspicions, a thorough investigation is necessary!"

Upon hearing Huo Sining’s words, Lei De’s face turned ashen.

It’s over, this time it’s really over! The empire he painstakingly built had just begun to take shape, and now it was about to collapse!

It was only at this moment that Lei De remembered a piece of advice from a big shot back in his early years in Guangcheng, before that person died.

"White way, black way, to do well, the most crucial point lies in the word ’way.’ Righteousness is more important than anything else! Always, keep a shred of kindness in your heart, and be considerate in your actions, only then can you endure!"

In earlier years, Lei De completely scoffed at the big shot’s advice. As someone mixed in the black path, he thought showing mercy was not a way to survive, wasn’t it raising a tiger for future trouble?

Lei De didn’t agree with the big shot’s sayings, so over the years, his tactics grew progressively heinous and ruthless, sparing no room.

But until this moment, he finally understood the big shot’s intentions in advising him, feeling the old man’s earnestness and good intentions, but what use is it now?

It was too late; he had committed too many absolute crimes and already blocked all his retreat!

Tan Minghui was angered to a point where his eyes were almost flaming, looking at Lei De with hatred; if it hadn’t been for this person, how could he be reprimanded by Secretary Du?

Such an atrocious event occurring within his jurisdiction absolutely marked his negligence. If Huo Sining were displeased and blamed him, his position as chief would be threatened.

"Don’t worry, Colonel Huo. I will ensure this person is closely monitored without any mistakes. The special investigation unit will handle it, ensuring no stone is left unturned and not a single oversight remains!"

After giving assurance to Huo Sining, Tan Minghui turned around and shouted at the group of SWAT officers and local police:

"Cuff them all up and take them away!"

Not only Tan Minghui, but Du Wenfeng was also feeling uneasy and helpless.

He truly hated these thugs to the core, being just in his early forties, which is relatively young for a deputy director-level cadre; even in the entire Yun Province’s Standing Committee, he counted among the youngest, his political career looking promising, a rising star in politics.

But now, Huo Sining was clearly angry. If this matter led back to him, Governor Wu would undoubtedly blame him for incompetence. Forget about getting transferred to the provincial office; even his current position as secretary might be in jeopardy.

Thus, he hated these foolish gangsters deeply, especially the leader Lei De, whom he had met and knew somewhat about his style and rumors in Luohua County.

Du Wenfeng was left with only regret. If given another chance, he would definitely not allow this Lei De to expand his influence so rampantly in Luohua County; he would crush him in his cradle!

Then today’s situation wouldn’t have happened, and nobody would threaten his career advancement.

But there are no ’ifs’ in this world, and Du Wenfeng could only think about this in his mind.

He really wished he could rush forward and kick Lei De a few times, but with so many people watching, he had no choice but to maintain his official image and swallow the bitter fruit.

The law enforcement officers methodically handcuffed the gangsters, escorting them to the vehicles, with armed SWAT officers overseeing the process. These small-time gangsters wouldn’t dare flee at this moment; it would be a death wish!

Thus, everyone complied and got on the vehicles meekly, heads hung low, not daring to make a sound, willingly subdued.

At this time, a few more police cars charged over from the tea garden side, and a group of policemen jumped out in a hurry, rushing in. Upon reaching the entrance of the tea garden and seeing so many SWAT and police officers around, the policemen were dumbfounded.

"Captain, what’s happening? Why are there so many SWAT officers, and why have they captured so many people?"

"These SWAT seem to be from the city; it appears we’ve arrived late."

"Oh my, look over there, isn’t that Boss De? How come he’s been caught too? What’s going on? Isn’t Boss De Bureau Chief Ye’s cheap brother-in-law?"

"Things seem a bit off, Captain. Didn’t Bureau Chief Ye say there was a woman wielding a gun killing people? Why are all of Boss De’s men the ones being apprehended?"

The group of officers looked at each other, realizing something was amiss.

Having mingled in the Public Security Bureau for years, most were old hands. Just by observing these scenes, they recognized the situation was off and instinctively thought of backing away.

Yet, with so many people showing up, how could they escape anyone’s notice? At the very least, Tan Minghui was already aware of this batch of police officers appearing.

Tan Minghui’s face immediately showed displeasure, not for any other reason. He was still from the city and barely took less than an hour to get from the city district to Xiakan Village. These county police officers had received their notice earlier and yet arrived later than his men!

What’s Xu Zehua doing for his salary? Is he even interested in working still?

Annoyed, Tan Minghui couldn’t help but shout at the nearby police officers:

"What are you standing there for? Get over here at once!"

The policemen instinctively froze upon seeing Tan Minghui, resembling mice confronted by a cat, afraid to utter a word as they stepped forward before him, whispering "Bureau Chief Tan" and dared not say more after that.
