The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 892 - 894: This Cancer Must Be Rooted Out!

Zhuo Shanzi was a notorious village bully, known for beating up anyone he didn't like.

With his tenacious personality, almost no one dared to oppose him.

As a result, he had almost no friends in the city.

Recently, a man named Ai Xingguo suddenly approached him, revealing details about the demolition.

He told Zhuo Shanzi that if he resisted the government's demolition, he would receive a large sum of compensation.

Initially, Zhuo Shanzi didn't believe it.

To reassure him, Ai Xingguo gave him five hundred thousand.

If it turned out to be a lie, all that money would belong to Zhuo Shanzi.

And if they did manage to secure exorbitant compensation, they would split it eighty-twenty, with Zhuo Shanzi taking the larger share.

Having been a farmer for decades, Zhuo Shanzi had never seen that much money.

After some thought, he saw it as a risk-free deal and agreed.

Just in case, Ai Xingguo also prepared a contract.

He assured Zhuo Shanzi that he had contacts in the government and knew the minimum compensation amount.

Those who accepted the payout quietly received the least, while those who caused a little commotion got more.

As for those who acted desperate, they earned the most.

Zhuo Shanzi was initially worried, but after negotiating with government officials, he realized this was indeed the case.

They didn't dare to do anything to him.

Thus, he decided to become a holdout.

As for why Zhuo Shanzi risked his life, it could have been an accident.

He likely never imagined the explosion would be so severe.

After investigating the matter, the county police are now preparing to arrest Ai Xingguo.

The expectation is that it won't be long before he's apprehended.

Upon learning the truth, Chen Bin asked, "Who is this Ai Xingguo?"

Rao Jiechi replied, "The vice president of Tianhe Leisure Group."

Nodding slightly, Chen Bin finally understood that it was Min Tenghai behind this.

At this moment, Rao Jiechi seemed to have something on his mind and cautiously spoke.

"Secretary Chen, there's something I've been wanting to tell you, but never had the chance, so..."

Chen Bin quickly waved him off, "Just get straight to the point."

"Didn't the city recently legislate on idle land? Ouyang Haitang has some land in Meihai County, and we haven't collected the idle land fee."

Frowning, Chen Bin appeared somewhat angry.

"Why didn't you collect it?"

"Because the land is under her company's name, and a minor shareholder is Secretary Bao's mother."

"This is nonsense!"

Chen Bin slammed the table with a fierce expression.

"Just because Bao Shanshan is my secretary, you didn't collect her mother's idle land fee? I thought you were better than this, but it turns out you're playing the same disloyal game. I'm really disappointed in you."

This startled Rao Jiechi, and he hurriedly defended himself.

"Secretary Chen, I realize my mistake. Please criticize me!"

"I will criticize you, but not right now. Return to the county immediately, collect the idle land fee, and impose an additional fine."

"Alright, I'll handle it right away!"

Watching Rao Jiechi leave, Chen Bin was filled with anger.

He wanted to uphold an image of integrity, yet almost had it destroyed by this incident.

On the road back to the county, Rao Jiechi instructed the land department to contact Ouyang Haitang to collect the idle land fee and overdue fines.

Ouyang Haitang was shocked when she received the call.

She immediately contacted Chu Haifeng to find out what was happening.

Chu Haifeng was caught completely off guard and said he would get back to her after looking into the matter.

He then called Rao Jiechi.

Without hesitation, Rao Jiechi explained Chen Bin's anger.

Upon hearing about Chen Bin's fury, Chu Haifeng felt a jolt of anxiety.

After explaining the reason to Ouyang Haitang, he immediately headed to the city committee to see Chen Bin.

Following Dou Bi's request to transfer from Tianhe and Chi Chunhua's dual investigation by the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Commission, there were two vacancies in the city's committee.

For Chu Haifeng, it was imperative to secure one of the positions.

Offending Chen Bin at this time would be disastrous.

Upon reaching the city committee, Chu Haifeng requested to see Chen Bin but was denied.

This made him realize the gravity of the situation.

He then called Chen Bin, but unfortunately received no response, leaving him in a state of panic.

Days later, the policemen sent by Meihai County Public Security Bureau couldn't find any trace of Ai Xingguo.

Later, reliable information revealed that he had left Tianhe.

But as to his current whereabouts, it was unknown.

As a result, the Ministry of Public Security issued a Level A warrant for the nationwide arrest of Ai Xingguo.

Seeing the situation worsen, Gan Qiu immediately called Min Tenghai.

"Is Ai Xingguo in the country or abroad?"

"In the country."

"Then make sure he stays hidden, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

Sighing, Min Tenghai seemed somewhat resigned.

"Don't worry, I just talked to him."

Ai Xingguo acted under Min Tenghai's orders.

The reason Min Tenghai orchestrated this was to get back at Chen Bin.

He intended to use the deadly forced demolition incident to pressure Chen Bin, hoping to force him out.

However, what Min Tenghai didn't foresee was how quickly Chen Bin traced it back to Ai Xingguo.

As Gan Qiu mentioned, if Ai Xingguo were captured, the consequences would be dire.

Reflecting on this made Min Tenghai regret not having sent Ai Xingguo abroad, which would have eliminated the worry of his capture.

At this point, Gan Qiu continued to caution.

"If Chen Bin discovers you're behind this, he definitely won't let you go, so you must be prepared."

Taking a deep breath, Min Tenghai muttered.

"No problem, my brother's influence will ensure Chen Bin can't make waves."

Gan Qiu found some solace in this thought.

"Your brother is brave and astute, with extensive connections. If he helps, the worst outcome would still let you keep your wealth and life."

Late at night, at the city committee's main compound, inside Chen Bin's study in his villa.

Cheng Zhuang spoke with a somber face, "Min Tenghai is out of control, daring to plot behind our backs, we must eradicate this cancer!"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Bin replied.

"He indeed deserves to be removed, but not now. Min Tenghai surely knows by now I've linked Ai Xingguo to him, and would be on guard if we move now."

"Alright, we'll follow your lead. Once I'm back, I'll start digging into Min Tenghai's background thoroughly before taking action."

After Cheng Zhuang left, Chen Bin opened his partially closed laptop on the desk.

With the screen lighting up, "Minmin's" account was still displayed on the webpage.

After contemplating for a few seconds, he ended up calling Ji Huiyue...
