He was furious, truly furious.

He had originally thought that these red-headed documents would have great deterrent power.

But the situation before him was not like that at all.

Some people joked that he had made significant accomplishments but had not been put on the wanted list, and others even volunteered to be placed on it.

What was this?

Wasn't this an outright humiliation of the power they held?

Dai Peng was burning with anger.

He said to Yang Yi, "Note these names down, all of them, since they all wish to die, then I will satisfy you all."

Yu Zhengchuan heard these words.

He said, satisfied, "That's more like it. Move my name up the list on the wanted notice, otherwise I won't be able to settle my scores with Chen Fang."

"Hahaha..."

Another burst of laughter followed.

These laughter were like arrows stabbing into Dai Peng; as the highest-ranking official onsite, his face turned green and then white.

He paused for a moment and then stepped forward.

He said loudly, "Comrades, you all see, the organizers of this crime have already been punished accordingly. I believe the rest of you were misled. If you are willing to find your way back, no matter what you have done before, I will hold no grudges. But if you persist in your folly, you will end up like these people, don't say I didn't warn you."

Dai Peng's words,

were addressed to the police officers from Changming County and Jinde County.

These people did not share the same interests as Chen Fang.

They were also here on orders.

And considering the current situation, Chen Fang was definitely on the losing side; no one would be foolish enough to continue the nonsense with Chen Fang.

At that moment,

a police officer glanced around.

He stepped out timidly, hesitated for a moment, and then joined Dai Peng's side.

With this move,

many others followed.

Within a few minutes, the police from both Changming County and Jinde County compromised.

They put down their weapons and joined the opposing group.

Chen Fang was not surprised by this scene at all.

Everyone knew how to weigh the situation.

All these people had families to feed, and they each had their own pursuits; sticking it out for Chen Fang was not worth it after all.

Once the police withdrew,

Chen Fang's side appeared even more "thin."

A victorious smile appeared on Dai Peng's face.

He said, "Chen Fang, do you still plan to stubbornly resist?"

Chen Fang's expression was cold.

He said, "Cai Xiaodong is not obeying the law, I will not step back an inch."

"Right, Cai Xiaodong is not obeying the law, we will not step back an inch!"

The others also shouted in unison.

Dai Peng gave a slight smile and said, "Fine, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, right?"

After saying this,

he glanced at Yang Yi.

Yang Yi immediately understood.

He drew his pistol from his waist, held it above his head, and instantly pulled the trigger, a gunshot rang out, and Yang Yi asked, "First warning, will you give way?"

Chen Fang didn't move, and neither did anyone else.

Yang Yi fired another shot and asked, "Second warning, will you give way?"

Everyone still remained immovable.

He squeezed the trigger,

a third gunshot sounded.

Yang Yi said fiercely, "Three warnings ineffective, at my command, raise your guns!"

Once the order was given,

all the policemen present raised their guns and aimed them at Chen Fang and his group.

It should be known that at this moment, all standard police procedures had already been completed, and if Chen Fang and his party persisted in not giving way, the police were indeed authorized to shoot.

Looking at the leaders who appeared with Dai Peng,

each of them had a smug smile on their face.

In their view, a "crisis" was thus easily resolved, and the weight they had been carrying in their hearts had also been lifted.

Chen Fang glanced around at the people surrounding him.

Then, he turned and faced the men and women before him.

A smile appeared on his face.

He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry. I, Chen Fang, have caused you trouble. I thought that by making such a big commotion, the leaders who had not been corrupted by Cai Xiaodong would stand up and fight against them. I was wrong. No one truly wishes to get involved in this whirlpool, so I have failed. But I have already dragged you all down with me, so all I can say is, I'm sorry."

After he had said this,

he sighed.

He said, "Thank you all for sticking with me. How did I, Chen Fang, deserve to have you all by my side through life and death? Honestly, I'm already very satisfied. At this point, there's nothing else to do but one path left, and that is to stand my ground with my life."

As soon as he finished saying this,

the people present were totally confused.

Everyone thought that Chen Fang still had a backup plan.

In fact, he didn't.

He was just gambling that after causing a big scene, many people would stand up because not everyone in Yong'an Province had been corrupted by Cai Xiaodong. Those at the top might also take the opportunity to act and eliminate these gangs all at once.

He lost the bet.

It was none of their concern; they remained uninvolved.

No one would muddy the waters without a reason.

His words were like a farewell.

He wanted to use his life to elevate the impact of this issue to another peak.

After saying this,

Chen Fang suddenly rushed into the house.

When he came out, his left hand was clutching Cai Xiaodong's neck and his right hand held a dagger, its blade pressed against Cai Xiaodong's neck.

This move was quite dangerous.

It also gave the police or a sniper a reason to shoot to kill.

Everyone could see Chen Fang's intention, and they all grew tense.

"Chen Fang, what are you doing, stop messing around..."

Cai Xiaodong, who had always been calm, was now visibly panicked, his face turning ashen under the dagger held by Chen Fang.

"Chen Fang, let him go."

Yang Yi shouted loudly.

But Chen Fang ignored them.

Leaning close to Cai Xiaodong's ear, he said, "President Cai, tell me, with things having escalated to this point, if they shoot me dead, this issue might blow up, and the higher-ups will surely find out. But I can't let you go, so what do you think they will do?"

As soon as Chen Fang finished speaking,

Cai Xiaodong's face underwent a drastic change.

He, of course, understood what Chen Fang meant.

For these people to protect themselves and to prevent their own corruption and abuse of power from being discovered, they had only one way out, and that was to ensure Cai Xiaodong would also be forever silenced. Only then could this drama come to a complete closure.

"No, they won't, they definitely won't..."

Cai Xiaodong muttered to himself.

Though he said this,

his thoughts were the opposite.

He had dealt with these people far too often. He of course knew what choices they would make in a critical situation.

At the moment, Dai Peng and the others were urgently discussing something.

In just a moment,

the discussion ended.

Yang Yi turned around.

He said to Chen Fang, "Chen Fang, I'll count to three. If you don't release him, I will order the sniper to fire. You'd better think about the consequences."

The words had barely left his mouth,

when Yang Yi eagerly shouted, "One!"

"Minister Yang, please don't do this, I'm still in Chen Fang's hands, don't be like this… There are other ways, other ways..."

Chen Fang wasn't in a hurry, but Cai Xiaodong was already frantic.

His voice trembled as he shouted.
