Chapter 2527: Chapter 2429: Looks Like It Was Me

The nearby Wu Ya was a bit confused. The little girl was still somewhat naive and didn’t know the dangers of society. Hearing the restaurant owner say this, she was quite angry and spoke up naturally:

"Since you’re cleaning it yourselves, why should you pay him any cleaning fee? You can just not pay!"

The restaurant owner showed a bitter smile:

"Not pay? How is that possible? If you don’t pay today, tomorrow he can find a bunch of thugs to smash your shop or dump a truckload of trash at your doorstep, making it impossible for you to run your business."

"Call the police? That’s even more useless. The entire Luohua County is under his control, and those police officers are all scared of him. They wouldn’t dare to handle such matters. Essentially, when they are called to action, they only talk superficially, saying they’ll help investigate, but it’s just empty talk. They turn around and suppress these matters."

"He uses such methods to press us forcefully, telling us that if we want to do business and make money in this town, we have to listen to him, or else we’re out."

Huo Sining was so angry she laughed. This Lei De is really a bandit. No, he’s worse than a bandit, comparable to those Dongyang devils, pillaging wherever he goes, eager to strip the very skin off the people.

Does this person really think he’s some kind of overlord, able to cover the skies with one hand in little Luohua County?!

Huo Sining was genuinely angry now. If Du Wenfeng can’t give her a satisfactory response in two days, she’ll make sure that city committee secretary won’t be able to escape the consequences!

In his jurisdiction, such a lawless troublemaker emerged, yet as a secretary, he didn’t catch wind of it. This is an unforgivable error. If this issue isn’t rectified firmly, it’s simply outrageous!

At this moment, she could understand why this owner was so eagerly delivering information to her.

Though everyone in Xiakan Village and the town heard that Lei De was arrested, it’s just a rumor, and whether it’s true remains uncertain.

Moreover, over the years, everyone had been forced to submit under Lei De’s tyranny, and everyone was internally scared of Boss De. Therefore, upon suddenly hearing of Boss De’s arrest, they were thrilled but somewhat skeptical.

They couldn’t believe that Boss De, with such strong backing, was actually toppled. At the same time, they were afraid, worried that Boss De would be released in a few days.

If that happens, they’d return to their days of dire straits, possibly with Lei De tormenting them even more, making their excitement all for nothing.

So actually, this restaurant owner came with a task. He’s gathering intelligence on behalf of the town’s merchants, hoping to get definitive answers from Huo Sining and Wu Jun so that their hearts could be at peace.

Huo Sining smiled, deciding not to keep it mysterious and said directly:

"You can rest assured. Since Lei De has been caught this time, he won’t be getting out without clearing up his issues."

"This matter isn’t being handled by the county; it’s being investigated by the city’s special commissioner. The more criminal evidence Lei De has, the harsher the judgment. Whether he spends his life in prison depends on your efforts."

The owner blinked in confusion, unsure what Huo Sining meant: "Can we help with this?"

Huo Sining laughed immediately: "Of course! It’s up to you guys. You are the victims! Report the years of oppression and extortion by Lei De, provide the witnesses and evidence. This will ensure there’s no escape, effectively providing the prosecutor’s office enormous leverage in prosecuting Lei De!"

The owner understood instantly, laughing and nodding repeatedly:

"Yes, that bastard is a curse. If he’s not sentenced to death, life imprisonment at least — we mustn’t let such a tyrant loose to harm people again. You’re right; there’s finally someone dealing with him. This is our chance to bring him down. I’ll gather the merchants for a meeting. We must write a joint letter and submit Lei De’s criminal evidence!"

Saying this, the owner forgot about eating, threw down his chopsticks, and rushed outside. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, recalling something, and turned around to ask:

"Oh, right. I almost forgot to ask. I’m really curious about this. It’s spreading throughout the town that Lei De led over a hundred men to block you this morning, but you had a hero who directly used a gun to intimidate Lei De’s men. Is that true? This gun-wielding hero, is it you, buddy?"

Upon saying this, the owner instinctively looked at Wu Jun, clearly thinking Wu Jun was the one who took control of the situation.

Huo Sining raised her eyebrows, sticking a piece of pig’s ear in her mouth, crunching loudly, and said with a half-smile to the owner:

"If you’re asking about the person who shot and crippled Lei De’s leg, sorry, it seems that was me."

The owner was instantly wide-eyed and surprised, forming an ’o’ with his mouth.

Although he realized Wu Jun was not the main force among these three, but rather Huo Sining the young girl, he genuinely believed Wu Jun, the strongest fighter among them.

Wu Jun’s aura was undeniably conspicuous; he looked like he came from the same place as those drunken soldiers. If the story of Xiakan Village’s tea garden were true, then among the three, Wu Jun would most likely be the one who fired.

As for Huo Sining and Wu Ya, sorry, to him these two young girls looked weak and easily bullied. They definitely didn’t resemble someone who could wield a gun, let alone pull the trigger. They wouldn’t have such guts.

But the owner never imagined the person he thought least likely was in fact the protagonist of today’s major event in Xiakan Village, the one who directly shot and crippled Lei De.

Oh my, truly frightening! This girl reveals nothing, yet is so ferocious when angry. Who could have expected her to be so ruthless!

The owner was genuinely shocked, once again giving Huo Sining a thumbs-up:

"Women don’t yield to men. Young lady, you’re amazing!"

Once the owner had walked away, Huo Sining finally put down her chopsticks, feeling helpless and slightly awkward:

"Oh, passive boasting is truly tiring. I didn’t mean to."

But this time, Huo Sining received no sympathy, only disdain from Wu Jun and Wu Ya’s siblings: "Get lost!"
