Chapter 252: Chapter 252: He Doesn’t Dare to Play Tricks_1

Zhang Xian saw another posturing character approach, chuckled coldly, and asked, "What? You also want to come and try your luck?"

The young man was taken aback, then blurted out angrily, "Damn it, do you know who Brother Xiao Ma is? Do you think you guys can stop him? Are you blind? Forget it, I won’t bother arguing with you. The police are coming. You can explain yourself to them. Let’s see how they deal with you. You dare to hit our Brother Xiao Ma. I think you’re sick of living, maybe you want to report to King Yama soon."

Zhang Xian chuckled, "That’s not what I’m thinking."

"Damn you..." The young man glared at Zhang Xian, suddenly feeling a sense of familiarity.

When he remembered why, he jumped up, swearing, "Aren’t you the guy who hit my brother yesterday? What a small world!"

Zhang Xian didn’t recognize the young man before him. However, he indeed disabled someone yesterday. This guy must have been there on the spot, but he was the unfaithful type, fleeing rather quickly.

"What’s going on?" Tao Weiran walked over.

Normally he would not personally handle such matters. However, this time was different since it involved the Secretary’s son, so he had to come himself.

"Chief Tao, arrest this guy. He’s the one stopping Brother Xiao Ma from leaving," said the young man, pointing at Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian gave a faint smile, "Chief Tao, long time no see!"

Turning to look, Tao Weiran was startled to see Zhang Xian, and almost fell on his backside.

What is he doing here? The person who called in specifically requested the arrest of Zhang Xian. Could this incident be related to Zhang Xian? What should he do now? It’s another awkward situation to deal with!

After the incident with Tan Xiaofu last time, he was nearly compromised. If not for Secretary Qian not causing him trouble afterwards, he might have lost his position as Chief by now.

Zhang Xian looked at Tao Weiran and asked, "What, you don’t recognize me anymore? I still remember you! But I am curious about your current position. Are you still the Chief?"

"Young Master Zhang is joking, how could I ever not recognize you?" Tao Weiran, frightened, immediately chuckled awkwardly.

People in positions of power are sensitive, especially when having conversations. Zhang Xian suddenly brought up his position, clearly signalling that he wanted to hold him accountable for past incidents. Currently, he is still the Chief.

The young man asked in surprise, "Chief, do...do you know each other?"

Tao Weiran had no intention of responding to the young man. He looked at Zhang Xian and said, "Young Master Zhang, could you please explain what exactly happened today? Why did someone call the police claiming that you were holding someone hostage?"

Zhang Xian replied, "You should understand the principle of ’officials protect each other’, right? Buckteeth Zhou told me that someone crashed into one of our workers at Lingxiao Villa, so I held the driver. I just wanted to seek justice for the worker. But what happened? Because the one who knocked down the worker is the son of a disciplinary committee secretary, someone called the police, accusing us of detaining him. What do you make of this?"

Tao Weiran turned his head and asked the young man, "What happened? Was it Xiao Ma who hit the worker?"

"I...I..." The young man stuttered, unable to form a sentence.

He realized that the so-called Young Master Zhang in front of him might have quite a powerful background. Even Tao Weiran didn’t dare to offend him under the secretary’s pressure, and he wasn’t sure what he should do now.

Faced with the current situation, he dared not lie, but he also dared not tell the truth. He couldn’t afford to offend people on either side.

Tao Weiran asked, "Are you mute?"

The young man replied, "I... I don’t know the details... I... I just saw that someone was going to arrest Brother Xiao Ma, so I called the police."

Tao Weiran frowned, unsure of whose side to take.

At present, he couldn’t afford to offend either party. Without any evidence at hand, he could only take neither side, standing on the side of truth. This was the only way to protect himself.

"Chief Tao, I have a video here. You’ll understand everything once you watch it." Buckteeth Zhou grinned, signalling to one of his henchmen. "Show the Chief the video."

The henchman nodded, took out his phone, and played a video copied from the surveillance room.

Tao Weiran looked at the video on the phone, which showed a car speeding out of a bend and hitting a worker, who was sent flying. His face turned grim.

This really was done by the disciplinary committee secretary’s son—who not only street raced in Panlong Mountain but also hit and seriously injured someone.

Zhang Xian laughed lightly and asked, "So, do you have your answer, Chief Tao?"

"I have the answer." After taking a deep breath, Tao Weiran said, "Bring Xiao Ma in. He hit and injured someone, fled the scene, and tried to deny it, which constitutes a criminal offense."

The young man was shocked, "Chief Tao, this is..."

Tao Weiran snapped, "Shut up! What’s your role here? You dare interfere with my work?"

The young man who was scared speechless quickly shut his mouth, not daring to speak again.

"Young Master Zhang, don’t worry, I’ll handle this properly. I will definitely give you an account of this matter," Tao Weiran told Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian let out a cold smile, "Chief Tao has always put the country and its people first and prioritizes public interest. I believe that Chief Tao will treat this incident justly."

Tao Weiran chuckled awkwardly and hurried away.

Duan Hong glanced at Zhang Xian and said, "It seems like you’re pretty influential in Tiandu! Even the disciplinary committee secretary can’t beat you."

Wen Yulan was also surprised.

Upon hearing that the other party was the disciplinary committee secretary’s son and knowing how unyielding Zhang Xian could be, she was quite concerned. She was worried that Zhang Xian would suffer a significant loss on this matter, maybe even face a lawsuit.

To her surprise, the local public security bureau chief dared to arrest the kid knowing well that he is the son of a disciplinary inspector. This shows that Zhang Xian is no average Joe.

Zhang Xian chuckled, "How would I be able to protect you guys without some power?"

Duan Hong laughed, "I’m not blaming you, it’s just that your influence seems quite vast..."

"It has to be." Zhang Xian chuckled, "Come, let me show you around. Let’s see what you think of my mansion."

Duan Hong and Wen Yulan nodded and followed Zhang Xian up the mountain.

At first, they thought Zhang Xian’s mansion was not that big, probably just a larger restaurant. However, after a tour, they were stunned. The scale of Zhang Xian’s mansion was intimidating.

How much would it cost to build such a complex? Just the basic structure would cost tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions.

Does Zhang Xian have that much money? Or is he a young master from some wealthy family?

"Huh? Isn’t that Zhang Xian?"

Xiao Nan spotted Zhang Xian in the distance and quickly nudged Mo Shaoyun, "Shaoyun, look, he’s with those two beauties again!"

Upon turning her head, Mo Shaoyun’s expression immediately cooled.

It was already irritating enough that Zhang Xian had run off yesterday, she hadn’t even cooled down yet. Now, she sees him with the two beauties from Yantai again.

In fact, Mo Shaoyun even wondered if Zhang Xian had spent the night with those two ladies, living a carefree and romantic life.

Xiao Nan frowned and asked, "Shaoyun, should we go over and look?"

Mo Shaoyun shook her head, "Why go over there? To give those two beauties a laughing stock? I won’t do such a pointless thing. Let Zhang Xian do whatever he pleases."

Feeling that going there now would be inappropriate, Xiao Nan didn’t insist. They continued inspecting the construction site.

"Bro, how do you reckon Old Man Wang is doing now?"

"Sigh, who knows, he was healthy until yesterday. Today, he got hit by a car and lost both his legs. Such a terrible fate! Old Man Wang is probably incapacitated for life."

"What a shame. Old Man Wang is only in his thirties, right? So young... What about his wife and kid? They are still in school right!"

A group of workers passing by were discussing a car accident that had just happened in the morning.

As Mo Shaoyun walked past, she overheard their conversation and stopped them to inquire, "Gentlemen, what were you just talking about that car accident?"

"Oh, boss...!"

A worker, seeing Mo Shaoyun, hastily stopped, "There was a car accident this morning. Old Wang, who works with us, had his legs shattered."

"His legs were shattered? How did that happen?" Mo Shaoyun furrowed her brows.

The worker explained, "Aren’t those second-generation officials and rich kids always racing their cars? Luckily Old Wang was on a bend at the time. Otherwise, he would have been finished if it was on a straight road."

Xiao Nan asked in surprise, "Was it a government official’s or a rich kid’s car?"

The worker replied, "Right? When we arrived, there was a fight over there! The kid seems to be the son of a disciplinary inspector."

"Damn..." Mo Shaoyun cursed under her breath, and quickly walked towards Zhang Xian, "Zhang Xian, you seem to be having a relaxed life, wandering around with beautiful ladies?"

Zhang Xian, seeing Mo Shaoyun approaching, smiled, "Oh, what a coincidence! Are you here too, honey?"

Duan Hong and Wen Yulan looked surprised as Zhang Xian addressed Mo Shaoyun as his ’wife’. On one hand, Mo Shaoyun was incredibly beautiful and immaculate. On the other, wasn’t Zhu Qing supposed to be Zhang Xian’s girlfriend?

Mo Shaoyun said coldly, "There’s been an incident at the construction site. Do you know about it?"

Zhang Xian asked, "What happened?"

"You really don’t care about anything, do you? All you do is flirt around." Mo Shaoyun looked arrogant, "A worker at the construction site got hit by a car. The car was driven by the son of a disciplinary inspector."

Zhang Xian replied, "Didn’t I already solve that issue? The son of that disciplinary inspector was taken away by the police, wasn’t he?"

Mo Shaoyun looked shocked, "Solved...it’s solved? When did you solve it? Why...I...I didn’t know."

Zhang Xian said, "You’re telling me I’m careless, yet there’s something you weren’t aware of? The mansion is so big, I’m just one person. How much can I manage?"

Mo Shaoyun felt a bit awkward, "I...I just heard from someone and didn’t know you have already..."

Xiao Nan worriedly asked, "Zhang Xian, that person is the son of a disciplinary inspector. Are you sure about your action? Even if the kid was taken away by the police, it would have simply been a formality."

Zhang Xian asked, "Is a disciplinary inspector a big shot?"

Xiao Nan was taken, "What...what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Xian replied, "Sister Nan, rest assured. Tao Weiran took the person away. If he dares to play tricks on me, I will kick him off the position of the bureau chief."
