"You scoundrel, how dare you slander public officials! What are you waiting for? Arrest him at once!"
Wu Lei's eyes were filled with panic. He hadn't expected Er Zhu to know so many details. He angrily shouted at the men behind him.
Although the two men were scared, seeing Wu Lei's ferocious expression, they could only rush towards Er Zhu. But as they looked up, they froze!
"No way, Deputy Director, this kid's glare is too terrifying, I... I don't dare!"
"I don't dare either, Deputy Director. Our Administration for Industry and Commerce doesn't have the right to arrest people. If this gets out, it will be disastrous!"
...
As they spoke, the two men ran behind Wu Lei. Wu Lei felt their trembling bodies and became even more enraged!
He didn't know how this brat knew all this. All he knew now was that this brat had to die!
The higher-ups were already secretly investigating him. If this matter were to reach them, not only would his position as Deputy Director be lost, but he would also go to prison!
Thinking that he would spend the rest of his life in that desolate prison, a fierce glint flashed in Wu Lei's eyes!
"A bunch of useless cowards!"
Wu Lei roared furiously. He charged at Er Zhu with his fists clenched, but halfway there, he was stopped by the hotel's bodyguards.
These burly bodyguards formed a human wall. No matter how Wu Lei barged, he couldn't budge them an inch!
Wu Lei was both angry and anxious. He patted his pocket and suddenly smiled.
He actually had a dagger in his pocket. These people were dead for sure!
Before the security guards could react to what was happening, a flash of light appeared, followed by a tearing sound. Several security guards' arms were cut.
Seeing the blood, the security guards turned pale. Some of the more timid ones even fled. Seeing the defeated security guards, a murderous aura flashed in Wu Lei's eyes.
"So what if you know? Dead men can't talk!"
Wu Lei gritted his teeth and said. As he spoke, he charged towards Er Zhu, the cold gleam of the knife chilling to the bone. The hotel staff at the entrance were all terrified, only Er Zhu remained seated calmly!
"Stop!"
Just as Wu Lei was about to reach Er Zhu, a voice suddenly came from the entrance. He turned his head and saw people in various uniforms standing at the door.
Seeing these people, Wu Lei knew that his plan had been exposed. He charged at Er Zhu at his fastest speed. Just then, Er Zhu grabbed him from behind, pinning Wu Lei's hands tightly behind his back.
"Deputy Director Wu, you are suspected of accepting bribes. I am here to arrest you according to the law!"
As Wu Lei struggled desperately, a man in police uniform appeared before him with an arrest warrant!
Looking at his name on the arrest warrant, Wu Lei's eyes were filled with shock and panic. He had expected to be arrested, but he hadn't expected it to be so soon!
Beside him, the two employees from the Administration for Industry and Commerce were even more shocked beyond words!
At this moment, Er Zhu's words kept echoing in their ears. They looked at Er Zhu with admiration.
They had thought this kid was talking nonsense, but it turned out to be true!
Deputy Director Wu, who had always prided himself on being upright and incorruptible, was actually corrupt. This was simply unbelievable!
Outside the door, the hotel employees who had been watching the commotion were stunned, looking at Er Zhu as if frozen. Some even looked smitten.
They had initially thought their boss was bragging, but it turned out the boss had planned it all along!
As expected, the boss was the boss. They were nothing like their boss.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang. If you hadn't provided us with clues, we wouldn't have been able to catch Wu Lei so quickly!"
After Wu Lei was taken away by the police, the policeman holding the arrest warrant excitedly shook Er Zhu's hand, his eyes filled with gratitude.
In fact, the higher-ups had ordered them to investigate Wu Lei long ago, but they hadn't found any evidence after a long time.
Just half an hour ago, they had received a call from Er Zhu, asking them to check the surveillance footage at Fangzheng Hotel, saying that there was evidence of Wu Lei's crimes there.
They had gone to investigate with a try-it-out attitude, but to their surprise, they found footage of Wu Lei's transaction with the Qian family!
Thinking of this, the policeman's eyes were filled with admiration!
"Mr. Wang, I am Captain Wang Qiang from the police station. If you need anything in the future, just find me. I will definitely help you if I can!"
The more Wang Qiang looked at Er Zhu, the more he admired him. If possible, he even wanted to become sworn brothers with Er Zhu!
"Yes, providing clues about crimes is the duty of every citizen. Captain Wang, you don't need to be so polite."
Compared to Wang Qiang's excitement, Er Zhu appeared very calm, as if all of this was within his expectations.
Soon, Wu Lei was brought to trial and would spend the rest of his life in prison. Qian Lin was also taken away, facing several years of imprisonment as well!
Fang Min was held accountable by the board of directors of the Fang Group for the incident at Fang family hotel. Fang Min was dismissed, and the Fang family hotel returned to Fang Zhoucheng's hands once again.
In short, everything was a consequence of their own actions!
Suddenly, this series of explosive news became the talk of the town during people's leisure time, and a name that sounded incredibly rustic began to circulate among the influential figures.
The richest man in Liuzhen!
The richest man in Linshi!
These identities were unearthed, causing many wealthy individuals who had hoped to join the ranks of the elite to revere Er Zhu as a benefactor!
The threshold of Mingyue Hotel was almost broken. Wealthy individuals carrying expensive gifts filled the office, all eagerly hoping to meet Er Zhu.
Little did they know, Er Zhu was already on his way back. He didn't care about these so-called wealthy people!
At this time, in Shiliu Village.
Li Mei sat on the kang, gazing blankly at the entrance. Er Zhu had been gone for half a month, and she didn't know when he would return.
Li Mei's eyes welled up with tears. Looking at the uncleaned dining table, she could only suppress her longing for Er Zhu and live her life well.
"Mei Jie, are you home?"
Just as Li Mei was about to clear the bowls and chopsticks, a woman's voice suddenly came from the door. She looked up and saw a delicate-looking woman smiling at her.
The visitor was none other than Wang Xiaoli, who had been fired by Er Zhu!
After returning home, Wang Xiaoli had become friends with Li Mei. Whenever she had free time, Wang Xiaoli would visit Li Mei's house.
"Xiaoli, you're here. Come in, sit down!"
Seeing Wang Xiaoli, Li Mei enthusiastically patted the kang. She quickly cleared the table and then sat down on the kang.
"Mei Jie, I forgot to tell you, I saw Er Zhu in Hua Bei City."
Wang Xiaoli's eyes darted, and then she suddenly slapped her thigh, as if she had just remembered something, and said quickly.
If Er Zhu were here, he would have immediately recognized that she was faking it.
The reason she became good friends with Li Mei was not because she liked Li Mei, but because Li Mei was Er Zhu's only relative in Shiliu Village!
