Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Kicked an Iron Plate!

“Dragon Lord had been dominating Quyang City’s underworld for over a decade and had seen his share of grand spectacles, but never anything quite like this.

His men had been effortlessly subdued by Special Soldiers, and those dark, gaping muzzles chilled him to the bone.

Not just Dragon Lord, but Tiger Lord, Wang Dazheng, and others had seen the situation outside as well.

Two underworld bosses were now shaking in their boots, trembling with fear like cowards.

Wang Dazheng’s face was exceedingly grim.

Unable to sort out Xu Qianli through political channels, and now watching his underworld forces get so easily dismantled, who on earth was this young man?

Back in Quyang City, where did he muster such tremendous energy that he could even call upon Special Soldiers for support?

The incident at Emperor Bar spread quickly, sending shockwaves throughout the entire Quyang City government.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, City Secretary Ding Li rushed out without even changing out of his pajamas, hastening straight to Emperor Bar to confront Xu Qianli.

“Vice County Magistrate Xu, what’s going on here?” he asked.

Having figured out that it was Xu Qianli’s doing, Ding Li was all the more baffled.

You’re an official from outside the area, so how could you stir up such a commotion here in our Quyang City? What on earth do you want?

Upon hearing this, Xu Qianli kept silent, merely surveying Ding Li with a cold and steady gaze, scrutinizing him without pause.

Ding Li felt like Xu Qianli’s eyes were the sharpest of blades. Under that gaze, he was covered head to toe in discomfort.

He himself was the Quyang City Secretary, who ruled the area; his word was law here in Quyang City, a place where he was an absolute big shot.

To have someone gaze at him with such eyes on his own turf, as if they were a fierce beast ready to pounce and shred him to pieces at any moment, was terrifying!

How could this young man, barely in his twenties and so youthful, possess such a powerful and commanding presence?

And this presence was too sharp, too overbearing, too ferocious—as if he harbored some kind of grudge against him!

Clearing his throat, Ding Li said, “Vice County Magistrate Xu, can you tell me exactly what’s going on here? Is there some kind of misunderstanding?”

Xu Qianli replied, “There’s no misunderstanding! I wouldn’t have come here unless I was certain about some things. Let’s skip the small talk. I want to know, are you here to support Wang Dazheng?”

Wang Dazheng hastened to appeal, “Secretary Ding, this kid has gone mad. Not only did he come looking for trouble with me, but he also attacked Director Liang and the others. He has taken them captive. His audacity knows no bounds, causing such a scene in our Quyang City. You mustn’t let him off easily—please deal with him swiftly!”

Wang Dazheng was frightened of Xu Qianli, but thankfully, Secretary Ding Li from Quyang City Committee was here.

In Quyang City, could anyone really outmatch Ding Li?

As long as Ding Li would lend a hand, this young man was done for!

As long as Ding Li acted, Wang Dazheng could extricate himself from this mess.

Ding Li glared coldly at Wang Dazheng. Will you shut up?

He had just arrived and didn’t entirely grasp the situation, but having seen those heavily armed and menacing Special Soldiers, and witnessing how Director Liang Hui and others, cuffed like dogs, squatted in the corner, and seeing Xu Qianli’s formidable aura and killing intent, Ding Li was well aware of the gravity of the situation.

The matter had to be handled delicately; otherwise, it could spell trouble for him.

Making up his mind, Ding Li said, “Vice County Magistrate Xu, can you explain what exactly happened here?”

Xu Qianli retorted, “Before I answer you, answer my question first—are you here to back up Wang Dazheng?”

“There’s nothing of the sort,” Ding Li replied. “I merely heard there was an incident and came over to assess the situation and see if I could help resolve it.”

Ding Li flatly denied it, clearly understanding that the situation in front of him was that Xu Qianli was looking for trouble with Wang Dazheng, and he certainly couldn’t afford to get himself involved for no reason.

Xu Qianli said, “Since you’re not here to help Wang Dazheng, good, Secretary Ding, please take a seat over there. You’ll be needed to help with something in a moment.”

This…

Ding Li thought to himself that Xu Qianli was way too overbearing. He wanted to understand the situation, yet Xu Qianli wouldn’t even disclose it, merely telling him to sit off to the side. What was that all about?

In an instant, Ding Li felt that Xu Qianli was the actual City Secretary of Quyang City.

At that moment, a squad of soldiers burst in, led by a burly man who said to Xu Qianli, “Son-in-law, we’ve taken control of the outside. Please direct our next move.”

“Well done.”

“Continue to lockdown the surrounding streets, all are permitted to enter but not to leave, and anyone who dares to break through shall be executed without mercy!”

Xu Qianli gave his orders coldly.

These soldiers were the elite troops sent by his father-in-law, Ye Zhanhua.

Before going after Wang Dazheng, Xu Qianli had already decided that he wouldn’t just deal with Wang Dazheng, but also the figures standing behind him—he would eradicate them all without exception!

He wanted to use the blood of these figures to avenge Jiang Zihan!

The soldiers, having received their orders, quickly went out to continue the lockdown.

Witnessing this, Ding Li couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Damn, those guys were clearly not from the Quyang City Armed Police Force, but the elite from the East Sea Theater.

Having once visited the East Sea Theater, Ding Li had a discerning eye and recognized them.

Those people were not only from the East Sea Theater but also top Special Soldiers!

Not to mention him as a City Secretary, even the number one in Wangdong Province didn’t have the authority to deploy them.

How could Xu Qianli, such a young man and just a Deputy County Magistrate, have so much energy?

Regardless, Ding Li was very relieved about his decision just now, thankful that he didn’t fall into Wang Dazheng’s trap, otherwise, he would probably have been handcuffed and squatting in the corner by now.

Wang Dazheng, oh Wang Dazheng, this guy who usually strutted around Quyang City so tyrannically, he really hit the iron plate today.

He just didn’t know what he had done to infuriate Xu Qianli, to make Xu Qianli so angry?

After waiting a little while longer, no one else came to help Wang Dazheng.

With so many Special Soldiers guarding the outside, even if someone wanted to help Wang Dazheng, they wouldn’t dare to come.

Seeing that the time was about right, Xu Qianli’s gaze fell on Wang Dazheng.

“You must be very curious as to who I am and even more curious as to why I came to give you trouble, using such a large force to deal with you, am I right?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Dazheng put on a smile.

“Secretary Ding just now referred to you as Vice County Magistrate, so you must be the Vice County Magistrate of some county under Quyang City.”

“Pardon me for not recognizing who you are.”

“I believe there must be some misunderstanding between us that led you to take action. Whatever the misunderstanding is, I beg you to show mercy and give me a chance to clarify things.”

Wang Dazheng bent over with a smile, his back bent.

He really didn’t know who this person was, but was very clear that this person had tremendous power and was definitely not someone he could handle. There was no room for resistance, only hope for mercy.
