The Northeastern Tiger indeed had lost the desperate fighting spirit of his youth; had this been ten years ago, he would have definitely fought Lin Chuan for three days and nights. But now, after just one move, he lost five million, leaving many of his brothers dissatisfied. But what could they do about it?

The Northeastern Tiger turned around, his back bearing a trace of vicissitude.

......

The truth about Long Wu's death was unveiled, pointing fingers at Heng'an Group, at Qinghua Pool, and at the Northeastern Tiger. Fortunately, public opinion was quickly diverted elsewhere. The news of Long Wu's death gradually faded from people's sight. Although people stopped discussing it, the cleanup on the battlefield was far from over.

Vice Secretary of the Procuratorate, Chen Hui, met with Tang Yumeng. After an afternoon of discussions, the two reached a political understanding. This also gave Tang Yumeng a capable assistant. Currently, the Procuratorate has no Secretary, and Chen Hui will soon take on the role. With Chen Hui's assistance, Tang Yumeng gained another bargaining chip in politics.

Tang Yumeng didn't know how this misfortune had turned into a blessing.

She couldn't wait to call Lin Chuan. Once the call connected, Tang Yumeng eagerly said: "Lin Chuan, do you know? The Vice Secretary of the Procuratorate talked to me."

"Sorry, this…" A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, who quickly explained: "This phone was left here by Lin Chuan."

Tang Yumeng was immediately dumbstruck, and countless scenes flashed through her mind.

"Who are you?" Tang Yumeng quickly asked.

However, the person on the other end hung up the phone.

"Bastard!" Tang Yumeng angrily threw her phone out.

Xiao Xue just walked into the office, only to see Tang Yumeng angry, she quickly asked: "Secretary Tang, what's... what happened?"

"Where's Lin Chuan? Is he at work?" Tang Yumeng asked.

"No... I didn't see him in the break room." Xiao Xue said awkwardly.

"Fire him." Tang Yumeng said sternly.

"Ah?!" Xiao Xue was shocked and said: "Secretary Tang, this... why?"

"Not at his post during work hours, late and leaves early, he's developed bad habits." Tang Yumeng gritted her teeth: "Definitely fire him, you go tell Minister Chen, to temporarily erase Lin Chuan's name from the logistics department. We don't need him."

"Uh…" Xiao Xue was dumbfounded, though she did not understand the reasons, she still nodded and went to do it: "Yes, I... I'm on it."

Afterwards, Xiao Xue hurried out.

Once Minister Chen was informed, it was done immediately. He had wanted to get rid of Lin Chuan for a while, and this was a golden opportunity.

The break room soon got the news.

"Hahaha…" At this time, Song Wen excitedly ran into the break room, shouting, "Brothers, good news, great news."

"What good news?" Someone curiously asked.

"Lin Chuan got fired." Song Wen said excitedly: "Damn it, this guy finally got what he deserved, haha…"

A hush fell over everyone.

Luo Guoqing asked in surprise, "Why fire him? To fire Lin Chuan, wouldn't you need the approval of Vice Secretary Song and Secretary Tang? Who has the authority to fire Lin Chuan?"

"Hehe, this time it was Secretary Tang herself who named Lin Chuan to be fired." Song Wen smirked triumphantly.

"Ah?" Luo Guoqing was immediately dumbfounded.

"That's right," Song Wen nodded, saying, "This time, Lin Chuan is done for."

Little did they know, Lin Chuan was currently driving from Qinghua Pool to the City Committee. It was already past ten in the morning, but when he just got to the base of the City Committee building, the security guard unusually did not open the gate automatically.

Tap tap tap...

Lin Chuan honked the horn vigorously. However, the security guard still ignored him.

"Open the gate." Lin Chuan rolled down the window and shouted.

At that moment, the security guard walked out of the guardhouse reluctantly with a bitter smile and said, "Lin Chuan, you… you can't go in anymore."

"Damn it, why?" Lin Chuan demanded.

"You…" The guard struggled to speak and after a moment of silence, awkwardly said, "Because… because you've been fired by the City Committee."

"What?!" Lin Chuan couldn't believe this, thinking he had heard wrong.

"Lin Chuan, just an hour ago, Minister Chen called me, said you were fired, and you're no longer allowed into the City Committee." The guard said awkwardly.

"Damn it, which bastard fired me?" Lin Chuan's temper flared, unstoppable by anyone.

Boom boom boom...

He slammed on the accelerator, broke through the barrier, parked the car in a spot, and pushed open the car door rushing upstairs.

The door staff were astonished; in the entire City Committee, Lin Chuan was the only one who dared to do such a thing, there was no second. Not caring about the car, one should be mindful of their image, right? But Lin Chuan didn't care, his car was just an old beater, image? What is image?!

Lin Chuan 'thud thud thud' ran up the stairs, heading straight to Minister Chen's office.

"Who the hell fired me, which bastard?!" Lin Chuan stands with his hands on his hips, appearing ready to fight with Minister Chen.

At this moment, a group of people in the hallway, the Song brothers, Luo Guoqing... Many are watching from the side in the lounge.

Lin Chuan's presence nearly feels overwhelming.

At this time, Luo Guoqing keeps making eye signals to Lin Chuan, seemingly reminding him of something.

Seeing this, Minister Chen is internally amused, he clears his throat and says, "Lin Chuan, this is not okay, you disregard the law and don't respect your superiors."

Slap...

Lin Chuan slams his hand on Minister Chen's desk and angrily says, "Which son of a turtle, which bastard turtle said they want to fire me? Let him come out and talk to me."

Lin Chuan thought it was Song Ming scheming behind his back, little did he know that this time it was Tang Yumeng who wanted to fire him.

"It's me!" At this moment, a stern voice calls out.

Lin Chuan is startled; the voice sounds familiar. He quickly turns his head, only to see Tang Yumeng seriously standing not far behind him.

Hahaha...

At this time, the onlooking crowd bursts into fierce laughter, most of which are filled with mockery, enjoying the spectacle. Minister Chen also shows a smug smile. Clearly, these guys all saw Tang Yumeng descending the stairs, but no one warned Lin Chuan, probably wanting to see him humiliated.

"Ah... Secretary Tang?!" Lin Chuan is stunned.

"Yes, it's me." Tang Yumeng stares coldly at Lin Chuan, "You have no regard for rules and discipline, and being erratic in your attendance, often arriving late and leaving early. What does the City Committee need a slacker like you for? The logistics department doesn't need a freeloader."

Lin Chuan immediately freezes.

"Secretary Tang, I'm not a freeloader," Lin Chuan says awkwardly. "They... they might be freeloaders, but definitely not me."

"Then tell me, as part of the logistics department staff, what do you do every day?" Tang Yumeng scoffs.

"I..." Lin Chuan freezes. As a driver, naturally, he drives for Tang Yumeng. If Tang Yumeng doesn't go out, he naturally doesn't need to drive. Missing work occasionally or leaving early seemed minor to him.

"Alright, you can go now." Tang Yumeng says mercilessly: "You'll get every penny of your salary that's due."

After speaking, Tang Yumeng turns and leaves.

The onlooking crowd looks at Lin Chuan mockingly, especially the Song brothers.

"Tsk tsk, isn't this the hero of Jiangbei City? How come he got fired?"

"Haha, pack your things and go home."

The Song brothers sneer and mock.

Lin Chuan feels his face burning, as if he has been slapped several times. Watching Tang Yumeng's retreating figure, Xiao Xue looks at him innocently several times. Lin Chuan feels that this time Tang Yumeng was truly serious.

Although he doesn't know why he was fired, as a man, being humiliated in such a public setting, he couldn't stay any longer.

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving," Lin Chuan says heavily.

Minister Chen clears the remaining belongings for Lin Chuan, and the remaining salary is put in a kraft paper envelope.

"Here, all these are yours, take them." Minister Chen pushes the things towards Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan takes the items and turns to leave.

Everyone follows Lin Chuan down the stairs and out of the City Committee. A group of people stand by the stairway to watch the excitement, but only Luo Guoqing escorts Lin Chuan to the parking lot. He pats Lin Chuan's shoulder, saying, "Brother, a woman's mood can change just like the weather; maybe one day you'll come back."

"I'm not coming back," Lin Chuan sneers.

"Haha, don't say that," Luo Guoqing laughs, "You might sneak back tomorrow."

Lin Chuan smiles and says, "Old Luo, whether I stay or go doesn't really matter. If I go, you have to help me protect Tang Yumeng. If anything happens, call me immediately, no dithering. Understand?"

"Don't worry," Luo Guoqing nods.

Lin Chuan throws his belongings into the car and then drives away from the City Committee. As he leaves, the entrance's barrier arm is still broken. Two guards are lifting it to fix it, using screws prepared to secure it, then wrapping it with tape to hold it together. As long as there isn't any violent impact, there should be no big problems. It should work for now.

"Finally, it's taken care of," one guard says, wiping his hands.

"Yeah, I'm exhausted," another guard says, rubbing his back, then adds, "Damn, if anyone breaks it again, I'm going to fight them."

Just as he finishes speaking, the roar of a car engine is heard. The guards turn and see Lin Chuan driving straight through it.

Bang…

The car hits it again. The barrier arm, just fixed with much effort, is broken once more, with pieces falling on the ground, still oscillating. The car speeds away, leaving only two dumbfounded guards.

"Damn!" one guard curses, "What kind of person is this, for fuck's sake."

"Damn, this bastard," the other guard can't help but laugh, struggling for over half an hour to fix the barrier arm, and this guy just knocked it down again. The guard is nearly exploding with rage, almost wishing he could tear Lin Chuan apart.
