Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 431 The local tyrant was taken down by a fierce outsider.

Chu Xin suddenly made a move, and Director Wang's eyebrows twitched instantly. He instinctively reached out to stop her.

Suddenly, a wall of people appeared in front of him. He looked up and saw Zhou Yichen.

"This...this isn't a good idea, what if something happens..."

Zhou Yichen's voice was flat, "It's alright, she knows what she's doing."

Chu Xin was never a good-tempered person, but some people just had to go looking for a beating. Who could she blame? Just because someone had a status from the capital, did they have to hold their noses and let others do whatever they wanted?

Don't say that Zhou Yichen was corrupted by Chu Xin; that's not actually the case.

He was originally a high-ranking official's son from a military compound, and he had the same flaws that weren't considered advantages among children of high-ranking officials. It was only after joining the army that he was put in a shackle and had to abide by the rules for the sake of the image of a soldier.

Otherwise, how could he have become a leader in the compound from a young age?

That's not something an honest person can handle.

While Zhou Yichen was stopping her, Chu Xin had already finished slapping her twice and was done. She gave the still-dazed woman a cold, half-smiling look.

"Watch your words next time. Not everyone has a temper as good as mine."

Old Man Li was also stunned. He had already stepped back the moment Chu Xin slapped him, his eyes filled with indescribable fear as he looked at her.

The gist of it is, "You've already hit my wife, so you can't hit me anymore."

Seeing that Chu Xin had finished, Old Man Li stammered, "It's all a misunderstanding. She's just a bit sharp-tongued, she didn't mean any harm."

That's quite an interesting statement. You could say Zhao Yugang was still a child when he committed the crime, but now that he's been beaten for being sarcastic, you could say he had no bad intentions.

Does this mean your family gets to say everything, and everyone else is just supposed to suffer?

The old couple perfectly exemplified the principle of being lenient with oneself and strict with others.

"I know better than you whether she has bad intentions or not. If you don't want to end up in jail like your two sons, get out of here right now!"

It was only at this moment that the woman came to her senses from the two slaps, and her hand pointing at Chu Xin trembled as if she had Parkinson's disease.

"You...you, how could you hit someone? Is there no law? Ouch, this old woman can't live anymore! Being slapped in the face by a young man, is he trying to kill me?!"

"Then go die!"

Chu Xin's voice was even louder than hers. She clapped her hands, stood up, and looked down at the woman.

The woman was at least ten years younger than Old Man Li, and unlike most women, she wasn't dressed simply. She wore makeup and had her hair permed in a fashionable way. I don't know what she saw in Old Man Li.

The woman was so frightened by Chu Xin's sharp shout that she was like a hen suddenly grabbed by the neck, all her words stuck in her throat, and her throat made a "clucking" sound.

Chu Xin's gaze swept over Old Man Li again. "What, aren't you leaving?"

Old Li shuddered and quickly grabbed his wife and ran. The old man looked quite old, but his legs were still quite nimble.

The elderly couple were quite frightened and probably wouldn't dare to linger near the police station for a long time. They were tough as nails; they could fool easygoing people, but they were even more adept at assessing the situation when faced with unreasonable people who would resort to violence.

Sons and grandsons, you have to take them with you later.

The scene immediately fell silent again.

Director Wang felt he had just been quite inactive, and tried to say something to ease the awkwardness with a dry laugh.

Chu Xin didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so she flicked her fingers twice to wave goodbye, and then pulled Zhou Yichen away.

Return to the guest house.

As soon as they entered the lobby, the receptionist began to steal glances at them furtively.

Although no outsiders know the specifics of what happened in the private room today, the fact that their junior leader was suddenly investigated, and that the famous Director Li was also taken away, is a major event.

Colleagues on the day shift saw it clearly; these two were among those taken away. How did they get back?

So, is their leader, Xiao Cao, also alright?

Watching them walk away from a distance, staff member A whispered in staff member B's ear, "Are these the two out-of-towners? They're all back, so..."

Staff member B, with longer tenure and more experience, didn't want to get involved in this topic, but out of kindness, still reminded the other person.

"Nobody can say for sure. We're all small fry, and if anything happens, they won't be able to find us. As long as we work hard and watch our mouths and eyes, we won't lose our secure jobs."

Don't pry into the affairs between leaders; you might get into trouble.

Although Director Li was taken away through the back door, this is a guesthouse, a place where people come and go all the time. Not to mention the guests, there are quite a few staff members, so how could no one have seen it?

Everyone said his face looked like someone had died, clearly indicating that something terrible had happened.

And then there's Xiao Cao, who was dragged out the door. The only ones who looked normal were the three out-of-towners, and they've already come back.

Even a pig could figure it out: their local tyrant was taken down by a ferocious outsider.

Staff member A was just a bit gossipy; he hadn't realized there was so much more to it. He patted his chest, unfazed.

"Okay, sis, I won't ask any more questions."

"That's pretty much it."

Staff member B pointed to a row of thermos flasks against the wall and instructed her, "Go and deliver one to each of those two rooms quickly. I checked their check-in records, and they haven't picked up their basins and thermos flasks yet."

Those who come to stay are all guests; it's always good to treat them well.

Staff member A agreed and quickly carried two thermos flasks toward the room. Then he suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, turned a corner, went to the hot water room, filled two thermos flasks with hot water, and delivered them over.

However, she did not expect that she would be blocked from entering the rooms of the two distinguished guests.

Where do those three people from out of town stay?

Cao Zhiguo's parents have come looking for him.

They came from the Public Security Bureau. Before that, they had begged all the provincial leaders they could, but no one paid any attention to them, so they had no choice but to go to the Public Security Bureau.

I didn't see my son; I only heard some stories about what happened.

The couple both felt that their son had been wrongfully arrested.

The affairs of Weinan County had absolutely nothing to do with Cao Zhiguo. The biggest issue was that he arranged for Director Li to have dinner and, incidentally, see a very pretty female comrade.

How serious could this be?

It's just a matter of mutual consent. Besides, their son is just a middleman. The main culprit is Director Li. Just arrest him.

Cao Zhiguo may have some moral issues, and he can be educated. They can't really say anything about that. But to keep harping on him is a bit of an overreaction.

Staff member A was in a dilemma. He glanced behind him and looked pleadingly at staff member B, who was very knowledgeable about interpersonal relationships—"Sister, what should we do?"

Staff member B also looked quite helpless, and waved her over, telling her to take the people over.

When gods fight, mortals suffer. Let's just hope those three distinguished guests don't cause them any trouble!
