Chapter 2504: Chapter 2407: No Leniency for Severe Crimes

Compared to Du Wenfeng’s relief, Huo Sining’s expression was much colder.

She looked at Du Wenfeng, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, and said in a very cold and hard tone:

"Although I didn’t suffer much damage on my side, Secretary Du, this matter cannot be easily overlooked."

"These thugs, in broad daylight, have the audacity to assault us, it’s simply insane and lawless!"

"If I didn’t have this gun for self-protection, if my companions and I were just ordinary civilians without your special police backing us up in time, wouldn’t my companions and I be dead right now?"

Seeing Huo Sining about to lose her temper, Du Wenfeng immediately felt a chill run through him, and his expression also turned serious at once:

"Yes, this incident is indeed very serious, and it shows our local police’s failure to maintain order. Rest assured, we will handle this seriously, and punish those responsible severely!"

As he spoke, Du Wenfeng directly turned to Bureau Chief Tan and the Armed Police Squadron Leader, ordering:

"Bureau Chief Tan, Squadron Leader Liu, immediately order the soldiers to arrest these thugs and capture them all! If one escapes, I’ll hold you accountable!"

Tan Minghui and Squadron Leader Liu dared not be careless for a moment, swiftly responding with a "yes" and saluting Huo Sining before quickly turning around to command their forces to clear out these hooligans.

The black-clad hooligans had all been squatting against the wall when the police and special forces rushed in, so controlling them was a piece of cake.

In just a few minutes, all these thugs had been apprehended.

As for Lei De, who was shot, he didn’t dare resist either.

In fact, he didn’t dare to resist.

He had been in Luohua County for several years, and by now, he’d accumulated some wealth, and he liked associating with officials, so he could naturally recognize Du Wenfeng and Tan Minghui at a glance.

When he first saw Du Wenfeng and Tan Minghui, Lei De felt a thrill of excitement, thinking that the woman was doomed.

But to his surprise, the next moment, he saw Du Wenfeng bringing Tan Minghui over to the woman, showing a face of respect and ingratiation.

Lei De and Ye Yuhai had visited Du Wenfeng in Dali City in the past two years, but this person was as smelly and hard as a stone in a latrine, looking down on them, and whenever he and Ye Yuhai went, Du Wenfeng would snub them with disdain.

Now, seeing Du Wenfeng nodding and bowing, Lei De couldn’t help but wonder if the Secretary Du he knew was the same person or an imposter?

But Lei De was bound to be disappointed; the person in front of him was the genuine Party Secretary unmistakably, and the woman treated with such respect by the secretary must possess an extraordinary identity.

At this point, Lei De finally understood why the woman was able to calmly pull out a gun and shoot without so much as blinking.

He had kicked a hard enough iron plate, and Lei De realized that this time, he might have brought a serious disaster upon himself!

At that moment, a special police officer behind him suddenly twisted his arms behind his back, and then he heard a click and felt a pair of hard handcuffs on his wrists.

The cold handcuffs made Lei De shiver and brought him back to his senses, prompting him to start shouting:

"Officer, I... I didn’t mean to attack her, they hurt my people first, causing me to retaliate... I didn’t know the woman’s identity, I thought she was a wanted criminal... She had a gun and boasted about several lives lost, I thought she was a desperado, I’m innocent... This is entrapment!"

Huo Sining, upon hearing Lei De’s words, couldn’t resist striding forward, looking at Lei De coolly, and laughed:

"Entrapment or not, that’s irrelevant now; the fact remains that you and over a hundred of your subordinates attacked a key military officer, which is enough to ruin you!"

"I had already advised you, if you wanted me to spare you, obediently find my companion’s parents’ remains and compensate each household in Xiakan Village with eighty to one hundred thousand, but you thought I was joking and tried to bargain with me!"

Lei De was full of regret at this point, repeatedly begging for mercy:

"I’ll compensate, I’ll compensate! I’ll pay each household a hundred thousand, no, a hundred and fifty thousand, and I’ll make sure we find your companion’s parents’ remains, and even have their tombs properly rebuilt, just please spare me this once!"

Huo Sining sneered, "Regret now? Sorry, it’s too late!"

"I told you long ago, don’t ever try to challenge me, or I’ll make you wish you never existed. You’ve been too arrogant, and when you walk the night road too often, you’ll inevitably encounter a ghost."

"You’ve caused so much harm here in Luohua County, angering the public; how many people will set off fireworks in celebration of your downfall?"

"Oh, I heard you still have murder charges against you, after all, you wanted to play me, right? Now who is playing whom, is not for certain."

At this point, Lei De had lost all his former bravado as a local despot, especially after hearing Huo Sining mention his murder charges, causing him to tremble uncontrollably and he began to sob:

"Miss, I didn’t recognize Mount Tai, offending a living Buddha like yourself, I truly know my mistake now. Just name your compensation terms, I’ll agree to anything, just let me go..."

Lei De was gutted with regret. After all his years struggling in Guangcheng before settling in Luohua County, he had finally made a decent life, with enough money and status to live comfortably for life even if he did nothing.

Why did he come to Xiakan Village to mess around with a tea garden and provoke such a disaster? If time could rewind, he’d never have gathered so many people to assault that woman.

No matter if those two cleared out his tea garden, why fight those two for face and bravado? It didn’t teach them a lesson but rather backfired on him!

But now, it’s all too late, Lei De realized he’d truly run into a formidable force, and his arrogance and misdeeds had finally landed him in a catastrophic situation.

Huo Sining looked at Lei De with cold contempt, mocking:

"Who will spare you, who will spare those you’ve oppressed, who will spare the lives you’ve taken? The money you have was extorted from ordinary civilians, and you want to use that to compensate? How do you have the face?"
