Chapter 2546: Chapter 2448: Hidden Truths

Liu Zhibin heard there were more projects coming in, so he naturally put all his efforts into the renovation of that KTV for half a year. He made sure that both materials and construction quality were top-notch and even didn’t rush Jiang Liang to pay the final payment.

However, Liu Zhibin didn’t expect that the renovation of the town’s supermarket started recently, yet it had nothing to do with him; another contractor snatched the job.

Feeling unjustly treated, Liu Zhibin went to the construction site to reason with Jiang Liang, and they ended up in an argument. Liu Zhibin, filled with anger, thought to himself that he might as well not take the supermarket project, but Jiang Liang should at least pay the remaining amount for the KTV project.

Unexpectedly, when he mentioned the final payment for the KTV project, Jiang Liang acted shamelessly by claiming the KTV renovation failed the inspection and he was dissatisfied, thus wouldn’t pay the final amount.

Not stopping there, he even threatened Liu Zhibin, saying that if he continued to stay at the supermarket construction site without leaving, he would ruin Liu Zhibin, making sure he would never get any renovation projects in Luohua County again, tarnishing his construction team’s reputation to the point where they couldn’t survive.

Liu Zhibin was a fiery person and couldn’t stomach this insult. He immediately got angry and moved to strike Jiang Liang.

The contractor of the supermarket, seeing the boss being attacked, couldn’t sit idly by and immediately fought with Liu Zhibin. In the chaos, Liu Zhibin accidentally broke the contractor’s leg.

But he didn’t come out well either; he was severely beaten by a group of workers at the site, leaving his face swollen and his chest and back covered with injuries.

That’s not all. Upon seeing the trouble, Jiang Liang immediately reported the incident to the Huilong Town Police Station, and within minutes, several officers arrived, including Qi Feiping, who was familiar with Jiang Liang and often secretly engaged in shady dealings with him. Therefore, when trouble broke out at Jiang Liang’s site, Qi Feiping was the first to rush to the scene.

Upon his arrival, Qi Feiping explicitly took sides by handcuffing Liu Zhibin while completely ignoring the workers who had attacked, clearly siding with Jiang Liang.

Moreover, during the recording of statements, it was whatever Jiang Liang said goes, and when Jiang Liang mentioned a compensation of two hundred thousand, Qi Feiping threatened Liu Zhibin and his family members. If it weren’t for Wu Jun’s presence, it’s likely Liao Ying would have already signed the suspicious statement document, falling into their trap.

Upon hearing the whole situation and seeing the statement document Wu Jun passed needing Liao Ying’s signature with the glaring words "two hundred thousand compensation," both Wu Jun and Xu Zehua along with Hou Penglin couldn’t sit still, enraged by the audacity.

It’s outrageous! Is the police station here meant for them to arbitrarily oppress the common people? Qi Feiping disgraced the uniform he wore, bringing shame to the entire police department!

Liao Ying, upon discovering her husband was driven to violence due to this, couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Others might not know, but she knew it well. Because Jiang Liang withheld the project tail payment, her home had already been visited several times by fellow workers from Liu Zhibin’s construction team.

The Lunar New Year was approaching, and everyone was waiting for this bit of wage to return home for the festivities, but Jiang Liang withheld the money, putting Liu Zhibin in a tough spot, leaving him to sit gloomily at his doorstep, smoking in dejection daily.

Facing a tremendous pressure, Jiang Liang broke his promise, not only giving the town’s supermarket renovation project to someone else but also threatening to tarnish Liu Zhibin’s construction team’s reputation.

Cutting off someone’s financial resources is akin to killing one’s parents; with such extreme actions from Jiang Liang, it’s impossible for Liu Zhibin to remain calm!

Xu Zehua and Hou Penglin were pondering how to handle this situation smoothly without getting implicated personally, but before they could figure out what to say, a sharply dressed man carrying a briefcase suddenly walked in, cautiously asking:

"Excuse me, is this the Huilong Town Police Station? Who here is Mr. Wu Jun?"

Everyone turned to look at this suited man, unsure of who he might be.

Wu Jun’s eyes showed understanding as he stood up and extended his hand toward the man:

"I am Wu Jun. You must be Lawyer Yan Yucheng? You arrived quickly!"

Yan Yucheng awkwardly scratched his head: "I took the expressway and ran a few red lights to get here in time, but, did I delay you?"

Wu Jun shook his head with a smile: "No, you came just in time; we were waiting for you to help us handle this case."

Yan Yucheng nodded, his demeanor becoming serious as he opened his briefcase and retrieved several documents and a voice recorder, having prepared everything thoroughly. He then looked up at Wu Jun and said:

"I specialize in civil cases, and now I need to understand the details first. Can you point out who the involved party is?"

Wu Jun pointed to Liu Zhibin sitting on a chair behind him, smiling: "It’s him. This is my brother-in-law Liu Zhibin. If you have any questions, direct them to him. I don’t grasp this matter, so I’m leaving it entirely in your hands."

Yan Yucheng smiled and handed several papers to Liu Zhibin: "Please sign this letter of authorization first, Mr. Liu. Once signed, I will be your attorney."

Xu Zehua, seeing that Wu Jun had indeed brought a lawyer, and judging by the lawyer’s demeanor and presence, feared it was someone formidable, felt a headache coming.

He was considering how to suppress this incident, minimizing its impact, but the opposing party was evidently determined to handle it officially, leaving him at a loss.

Not just Xu Zehua, even Jiang Liang, who had been sitting all along, was dumbfounded.

He had thought Wu Jun was joking about hiring a lawyer to intimidate him, but who knew that in less than an hour, the lawyer Wu Jun mentioned had indeed arrived.

Looking over at the man with the elm spot on his face, what did Hou Penglin just call him? "Bureau Chief"? Which bureau?

Even if Jiang Liang were na?ve or stupid, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to think "Bureau Chief" was the name of the man with the elm spot. If he was addressed by Hou Penglin as such and could fiercely confront people at the Huilong Town Police Station, it was clear he was the head of the bureau.

Which bureau chief named Xu is there in Luohua County? Without a doubt, it’s only Xu Zehua from the Public Security Bureau!

Jiang Liang suddenly felt a chill creeping up from his feet, instantly causing his back to be drenched in cold sweat.

At this moment, he finally understood what his brother meant earlier over the phone when he shouted, "You’re really trying to screw me over!"
