The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 743 Water That Is Too Pure Has No Fish

"What are you doing? Are you crazy, Chen Xiao?"

Seeing that Chen Xiao wouldn't even listen to him and had broken another of Shen Hui's fingers, Mo Junsheng cried out, as if his parents had died.

Shen Hui himself, on the other hand, was numb, his eyes vacant. He screamed a few times, but didn't do anything drastic.

"I said, if Shen Dali doesn't arrive in five minutes, I'll break one of his nephew's fingers."

Chen Xiao said casually.

"We've known each other for a while, can't you even give me some face? Besides, I'm doing this for your own good, don't you trust me?"

Mo Junsheng said angrily.

Chen Xiao and Mo Junsheng were indeed old acquaintances, and Chen Xiao had even been quite optimistic about Mo Junsheng as mayor.

But Mo Junsheng's reaction today disappointed Chen Xiao.

"We are indeed acquainted, but you're not qualified enough for me, Chen Xiao, to give you face."

Chen Xiao's tone was cold, but his domineering aura seemed to overflow.

"When you saw me, you didn't ask why I was treating Shen Hui this way, you just assumed it was because Shen Hui is Shen Dali's nephew, and told me to release him immediately. You even said we know each other, don't you even know what kind of person I, Chen Xiao, am?"

Chen Xiao doesn't tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes, and these people don't deserve him turning a blind eye.

"Alas, what can I say about you!"

Mo Junsheng sighed, "Shen Li'an is a powerful regional official, do you think you'll get away with offending him?"

"That's right, I have heard some things about Shen Hui, and his reputation is indeed not good, but precisely because of this, we should accumulate strength. When I climb to a position where I don't have to look at Shen Li'an's face, I will naturally deal with this degenerate, Shen Hui!"

Now, Mo Junsheng wasn't afraid that Shen Hui would overthink these words.

His main goal now was to persuade Chen Xiao. If Shen Dali blamed him for this afterward, he would have an explanation.

"Hahahaha, accumulate strength and climb up, Mo Junsheng, what a Mo Junsheng!"

Chen Xiao laughed, the sarcasm in his tone undisguised. "By that day, the cucumbers will be cold. You can wait until you climb to a high position, but can the victims wait?"

"Is justice that comes late still called justice?"

"Moreover, if that day really comes, will you still fulfill your promise today?"

"Those who turn a blind eye to evil are accomplices to evil. You are already birds of a feather, will you really uphold justice?"

Chen Xiao's words left Mo Junsheng speechless.

He opened his mouth, and finally, steeling his heart, he said stubbornly: "So what? Do you expect that in this materialistic society, all of us officials are saints? Chen Xiao, do you really think that with your impulsive blood, you can manage all the injustices in the world?"

The smile on Chen Xiao's face grew stronger: "Saints? I just hope you don't bully others with your power, don't protect each other, don't abuse your power for personal gain. Is that asking you to be saints?"

"Heh, so this is an official? What a fine official!"

"I, Chen Xiao, naturally can't manage all the injustices in the world, but since I've encountered it, even if the other party's background is the King of Heaven, I will see it through to the end!"

Chen Xiao's every word was like a whip, lashing at Mo Junsheng's face, making him feel ashamed and his heart torn.

He considered himself an honest and kind official, but water that is too clear has no fish, and the same principle applies in officialdom.

He wanted to be promoted and still needed Shen Li'an's support.

Therefore, compared to Shen Li'an, Chen Xiao's importance naturally declined sharply.

Even though Chen Xiao held the enterprise with the highest tax revenue in the entire Jiangcheng.

"Fine, since that's the case, Chen Xiao, then don't blame me for disregarding our past relationship today!"

Mayor Mo's eyes sank, and he shouted outside, "Come in, arrest the criminal suspect, Chen Xiao!"

The constables outside had been waiting for a long time. After hearing Mayor Mo's order, they immediately rushed in with guns and went straight for Chen Xiao.

"Hands on your head, squat on the ground!"

The constables pointed their guns at Chen Xiao and ordered.

Wu Fei'er, who was beside Chen Xiao, was so frightened that her face turned pale. She bit her lip and tightly grabbed Chen Xiao's arm.

She really didn't know how Chen Xiao should resolve the current situation.

Should he look for connections? Chen Xiao is so bold, he must know some important people, right?

But in Jiangbei Province, what kind of big shot could be bigger than Shen Dali?

Moreover, is it still too late to ask for help now?

As it turned out, Wu Fei'er was wrong.

Chen Xiao did know many important people, but those important people were not Chen Xiao's reliance.

Chen Xiao's greatest reliance was himself.

So when he encountered trouble, Chen Xiao wouldn't ask for help either. If he could solve the problem himself, why bother asking others?

"Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of here!"

Chen Xiao didn't intend to surrender at all. He glanced at the time, and another five minutes had passed.

He grabbed Shen Hui, and with a snap, broke Shen Hui's fourth finger.

Seeing this scene, Mayor Mo was about to collapse. His fingers trembled as he pointed at Chen Xiao and ordered, "Quick, kill him, kill this villain!"

The constables exchanged glances, confused as to why Mayor Mo was giving this order.

After all, with so many of them, couldn't they subdue this kid by swarming him? Why insist on killing him?

But since Mayor Mo had already given the order, the constables had no choice but to comply. They pointed their guns at Chen Xiao and pulled the trigger.

Bang, bang, bang—

Gunshots rang out one after another, deafening!

However, the gunshots that rang out were not the explosive sound of bullets being fired, but the sound of the gun barrels exploding.

"Ah—"

"Ah!"

"Ah…"

Under the explosion of the gun barrels, the constables were also seriously injured.

"Chen Xiao, you, you, you are so bold!"

Mo Junsheng knew that Chen Xiao had such strength, but he didn't expect that Chen Xiao had such courage to openly oppose the government.

"Have you lost your mind? Do you want to revolt against society? Do you want to be a fugitive for the rest of your life? Or do you want to be against the entire country!"

Mo Junsheng said angrily, throwing one big accusation after another at Chen Xiao.

Shen Hui, who was beside him, was completely desperate.

Who exactly is this Chen person? It's one thing to be powerful, but how could he be so bold?

Openly attacking government constables, did he really think his life was too long?

But precisely because of this, Shen Hui was even more worried about his fate.

This is a madman who fears nothing. Even if the country takes action to destroy him afterward, what about now?

Now, is he going to kill himself before he's willing to stop?

Shen Hui suddenly hoped that his second uncle wouldn't arrive so quickly, because the madman hadn't killed him, obviously waiting for his second uncle to confront him.

As long as his second uncle doesn't come, he can live a little longer.

Even if the final result might be that all his fingers and toes fall off, that's still better than dying…
