Power and Wealth

Chapter 1182: Surrounded

Yan Yizhi and Zhang Feng exchanged looks. They did not say anything and retreated to the cars with Old Wang. The other party had more people, and all of them were tall and strong youngsters. Zhen Shui County has three men, two women, and an injured.

“What are you all trying to do?”

“What do you think? How dare you call the police?”

“Are you trying to create trouble? Do you know who is in the car?”

“Who cares! Who is refusing to pay for the repair fees now? You are asking for it!”

The villagers moved closer as Yan Yizhi, Zhang Feng, and Old Wang retreated.

Inside the car.

Jiang Fangfang looked at them and was about to leave the car.

Dong Xuebing quickly pulls her. His arm was fractured, and this movement was painful. “Mayor Jiang.”

“Don’t move.” Jiang Fangfang stopped.

Dong Xuebing caught his breath and said. “Don’t go out. You cannot risk it. They were targeting us and were waiting here for us. They don’t know you because you met us after we left the hospital. No one saw you.”

Chen Xiaomei quickly got into the car and said. “Are you saying the City plans this?”

Jiang Fangfang slowly said. “The City will not do this.”

Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes. “I guess it is Wei Lin or some leaders I met. Anyway, they are here for me.”

Chen Xiaomei replied angrily. “This is too much!”

Dong Xuebing added. “They are trying to repay us for what we had done to them.”

Jiang Fangfang immediately said. “Old Chen, ask Old Yan, Xiao Zhang, and Old Wang to get into the car!”

Chen Xiaomei shouted to them. Zhang Feng heard her and ran towards the Land Rover. Zhang Feng entered the front passenger seat, and Yan Yizhi entered the rear passenger seat with Jiang Fangfang and Dong Xuebing. Old Wang got into the small space behind the seats. The Land Rover is bigger than a lot of luxurious cars. Although it does not have three rows of seats, it is big enough to fit one person.

“Are these people crazy?”

“What should we do now, Mayor Jiang?”

“I called the police but think the local police will not be coming. These people are targeting us. No wonder their County’s leaders are not answering my calls.”

“They are too bold. Don’t they know Mayor Jiang is in the car?”

“Mayor Jiang’s car joined us later, and they thought it was only a few of us. That’s why they arranged for them to find trouble with us. These people have no regard for the law!”

Zhang Feng, Yan Yizhi, and the rest were angry.

Dong Xuebing felt it should be Wei Lin behind these villagers. This old bastard is taking revenge on them. But he did not know Mayor Jiang had joined them, or he will not dare to do this. If anything happens to Dong Xuebing, he can get a scapegoat. But if anything happened to Jiang Fangfang, it would become a political incident.

Wei Lin did not expect this.

Dong Xuebing will not let Mayor Jiang get harmed.

The villagers surrounded the Land Rover after they got into the car. They were pressing their faces against the windows shouting at them.

“Get out!”

“Stop hiding!”

“You dare to call the police but don’t dare to face us?!”

Bam… bam… bam…. The villagers hit the car and windows.

They were pushing the Land Rover violently, making it sway.

“Sit tight.” Jiang Fangfang remained calm. This is her character, and her calmness assured the rest.

“Secretary Zhang.”

“What is it, Mayor Jiang?”

“How far are we from our County?”

“We are around 15 to 20 minutes away.”

“Ok. Call our County and ask them to send people here immediately.”

Zhang Feng quickly took out his phone. He stumbled a few times due to nervousness. Yan Yizhi, Chen Xiaomei, and the rest were nervous too. Almost twenty people surrounded them and could be killed if everyone punched them each. Although the person behind the villagers only wanted to scare them, these villagers did not know. They do not know where the boundaries are, and might hit them.

The villagers were screaming and shouting at them outside the car.

Zhang Feng finally got through to the County.

“Hello, Secretary Meng.”

“Xiao Zhang? Are you all back?”

“Not yet. Something happened here.”

“What happened?”

Zhang Feng quickly explained. “Someone from the City might have planned this. We were blocked on the roads on our way back. A tractor blocked the road and demanded repair fees from us. They wanted 10,000 RMB. I tried calling the local leaders, but none of them answered. We are trapped in our car, surrounded by villagers with weapons.”

Meng Rui was furious. “What? Mayor Jiang is with you all?”

“Yes. Mayor Jiang is here.” Zhang Feng told Meng Rui what had happened and their location.

It’s fine if Mayor Jiang was not with them. But she is with them and surrounded by angry villagers. The situation is different.

Meng Rui was furious. This is a challenge to Zhen Shui County! Someone from the City had planned this and ordered the local authorities not to help. How can this person stoop so low? Does he think Zhen Shui County is a pushover?!

“Protect Mayor Jiang. I will contact Public Security!”

“It might be too late.”

“Hang on no matter what. You must protect Mayor Jiang and Mayor Dong’s safety at all costs!”

Meng Rui called the County’s Party Secretary after hanging up. As expected, no one answered. Meng Rui hung up and called the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Public Security Bureau Chief, Chu Peng. “Old Chu, send all available policemen immediately!”

“What happened, Secretary Meng?” Chu Peng was shocked.

“Don’t ask. I will tell you on our way! Do it now!”
