Chapter 173: Courage in Righteousness
On June 10th, Zhao Dongsheng flew to Huainan City, the capital of Huainan Province. Cao Fude and the director of the Huainan Provincial Office of the Warwick Group went to the airport to pick him up.
Cao Fude seemed very happy about Zhao Dongsheng's busy schedule to come to support him, thinking that Zhao Dongsheng was very friendly.
Sanshan City, where Cao Fude will serve, is located in the northeast of Huainan Province, adjacent to Jiangnan Province, surrounded by mountains on three sides and sea on one side. It has a population of more than 6 million. Its economic strength ranks fifth among the dozen cities and cities in Huainan Province.
This time, with Zhao Dongsheng, the deputy director of the Warwick Group Office, Tian Ye, and Zhao Dongsheng's guard Xiao Su and others. Tian Ye was born in the first batch of contract workers recruited by Huangzhou Electrical Appliance Factory. Zhao Dongsheng's direct line is now in charge of the affairs of the third room of the office, that is, the administrative room.
The next day, Zhao Dongsheng and Cao Fude took a bus to Sanshan City and attended Cao Fude's inauguration ceremony.
After learning about Zhao Dongsheng's identity, the leaders of Sanshan City were quite surprised. They also thought it was a rare opportunity to attract investment. Therefore, they strongly recommended several companies in the city to Zhao Dongsheng, who was "rich and powerful", hoping that Zhao Dongsheng could invest.
Zhao Dongsheng already knew some of the enterprises in Sanshan City, so after inspecting the enterprises in Sanshan City, he decided to invest in Sanshan City Garment Factory and cooperate with Sanshan City to produce clothing.
Zhao Dongsheng used a joint venture this time rather than a merger. This was done to avoid blind expansion and then carry a heavy burden.
Since it is a joint venture, Sanshan City Garment Factory is also a Sanshan City enterprise. The employees in the factory belong to Sanshan City, not to Warwick Group. This is exactly what the leaders of Sanshan City hoped. After all, after Sanshan City Garment Factory made achievements, the credit was mainly attributed to Sanshan City rather than Warwick Group.
Zhao Dongsheng stayed in Sanshan City for a total of five days. The Sanshan City Municipal Government received very well. During this period, not only did he send someone to accompany Zhao Dongsheng to visit several attractions in Sanshan City, but he also tasted local specialties. Zhao Dongsheng took the tribute to himself for a holiday and relaxed.
When he returned to Nanhuai City from Sanshan City, Zhao Dongsheng and his group were riding a minibus with a Nanhuai City Municipal Government license. In addition to the people from the Warwick Group, there was also a director named Zhang from the General Office of the Provincial Government.
At noon, the minibus drove into a small town, Zhao Dongsheng and others entered a restaurant in the town, and chose a private room to have dinner on the second floor.
Just as everyone was halfway through the meal, a burst of footsteps came from the corridor outside the door, and then the door of the private room was slammed open, and a beautiful woman with long-haired hair broke in panic.
Seeing this, Xiao Su stood up and stared at the long-haired woman with vigilance.
"Brother, save me, I was kidnapped here." The long-haired woman looked around at the people in the room, then came to the oldest Director Zhang, and knelt down with a plop.
As soon as the long-haired woman finished speaking, two young men with air flowed into the box. Without saying a word, they walked up to the front and raised the long-haired woman and left.
"Help, help..." The long-haired woman struggled desperately and shouted for help.
"Are you leaving like this?" Zhao Dongsheng frowned slightly when he saw this, and said in a deep voice to the two young men. He actually robbed women in broad daylight, which was lawless.
After hearing Zhao Dongsheng's words, Xiao Su rushed over and stood at the door like a door god, blocking the way for the two young people.
"Outsiders, don't meddle in other people's business!" The two young men couldn't help but stop. One of the strong young men glanced at Xiao Su and looked at Zhao Dongsheng with a blank expression. From Zhao Dongsheng's accent, he heard that Zhao Dongsheng was not a local.
"I just care about this little business." Zhao Dongsheng saw that the strong young man actually threatened him, his brows frowned slightly, and then he couldn't help but smile, and he looked at the strong young man with a smile, "What can you do to me?"
"You boy are impatient?" The strong young man was stunned at first, then reached out and took out a dagger from his waist, and said viciously, "Do you want me to put some blood on you!"
Seeing this, Tian Ye, who was sitting at the wine table, stood up in unison, staring at the strong young man nervously, guarding against him being unfavorable to Zhao Dongsheng.
"Mr. Zhao, it's not worth quarrel with these little gangsters." Seeing that the situation was not good, Director Zhang quickly whispered to Zhao Dongsheng, afraid that the two sides would fight and that would be troublesome.
"If you let her go, I will just pretend that this incident has not happened." Zhao Dongsheng glanced at Director Zhang and said to the strong young man quietly. After all, this is Huainan Province. Since Director Zhang spoke, it is not convenient for him to make a big deal.
"What a big tone!" The strong young man felt that Zhao Dongsheng was like a young man from an official family, so he sneered, "No matter who you are, this is Lubao Town, not where you are."
"I have given you the chance." Seeing that the strong young man was obsessed with it, Zhao Dongsheng nodded to Xiao Su, "Let them be honest!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Su flew straight and kicked the strong young man hard on the chin, then punched another young man in the face.
"You go quickly. Their bosses are the domineering people in this town. They are cruel and ruthless and cannot be provoked." The two young men then fell to the ground, covered their faces and lay on the ground moaning in pain. The long-haired woman hurried to Zhao Dongsheng and said to him anxiously.
"I want to see how powerful he is." Zhao Dongsheng smiled when he heard this. He was a state cadre, how could he be frightened by a gangster leader and fled in panic?
"Mr. Zhao, your safety is the most important thing. Let's go first. I will give you an explanation for this matter." Zhao Dongsheng was not in a hurry, and Director Zhang's heart was suspended. If he met a few desperate people, the consequences would be serious.
"Let's go." Zhao Dongsheng pondered for a moment when he heard this, then stood up. No matter how much Director Zhang was, he was the "master". Since Director Zhang's words had reached this point, he, the guest, had to be as hospitable as the host.
Just as Zhao Dongsheng led the man out of the private room and walked far in the corridor, the door of a private room in front opened, and several young people came out from inside, surrounded by a bald young man with a necklace with a thick thumb around his neck and walked towards them.
Seeing the bald young man, the long-haired woman walking under the trial of Zhao Dongsheng, her face changed, and her eyes showed a look of horror. The bald young man was the boss of the two young men before.
"I found my good friend so soon. You are really a woman with aphrodisiacs." The bald young man glanced at the long-haired woman standing there crampedly, and while sneering and sarcastic words, he turned his eyes on Zhao Dongsheng, looking up and down, and he had never seen Zhao Dongsheng in his impression.
"You let me go. I haven't been back for more than a week. My lover and son must be anxious." The long-haired woman's face turned pale and she begged at the bald young man.
"Shut up." The bald young man glared at his eyes and said to the long-haired woman with a fierce look on his face. "I originally wanted to let you go back when I was tired of playing. Who would have thought that you would actually want to escape? Let me see how I deal with you in the future."
Facing the arrogant bald young man, Zhao Dongsheng frowned slightly and quietly led the long-haired woman to the bald young man.
The two sides soon met in the corridor. The bald young man looked at Zhao Dongsheng with a provocative look on his face, "Do you know the consequences of provoking me are serious? If you know the appearance, don't trek in this muddy water!"
"Get out!" Zhao Dongsheng glanced at the bald young man, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly. He had no good feelings for such a bully. If it weren't for Director Zhang's face, Xiao Su would have taken him down long ago.
"You are looking for death!" The bald young man was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Obviously, he didn't expect Zhao Dongsheng's reaction to be so tough. Then he became furious and pointed at Zhao Dongsheng, shouting at the young man behind him, "Go, let me ruin him."
Upon hearing this, the young men pulled out daggers and short swords from their bodies, rushed towards Zhao Dongsheng, and the situation at the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"We are from the provincial government, don't do anything randomly." Seeing this, Director Zhang knew that he would not be able to come forward, so he hurriedly walked forward and said to the bald young man, wanting to stop him from committing an offense.
"The person who beats the provincial government is the people." The bald young man thought Director Zhang was bluffing. If the provincial government came to the town, the city leaders would definitely be accompanied by him, so he sneered.
Director Zhang wanted to say something else. A young man with red hair rushed upwards had already stabbed him in the shoulder with a knife. He was so scared that he quickly took a few steps back and avoided the attacking short knife.
Seeing this, the young red-haired man rushed towards Zhao Dongsheng with a short knife. Zhao Dongsheng stood there motionlessly, sneering at him, holding a lighter-shaped electric shock in his right hand.
"If you dare to move, I will beat you to death!" Seeing that the red-haired young man's short sword was about to fall on Zhao Dongsheng, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Dongsheng and said expressionlessly.
The red-haired young man suddenly froze there. The black muzzle in Xiao Su's hand was only ten centimeters away from your nose. The other young men stopped and looked at each other.
"You guys wait." The bald young man was slightly stunned, then pointed at Zhao Dongsheng viciously and left. The so-called hero would not suffer the loss in front of him, so he would not be so stupid as to fight against the pistol.
Seeing this, the red-haired young man and others followed him with the weapon in his hand.
"Director Zhang, the public security environment here needs to be improved." After the bald young man and others left, Xiao Su put away his gun, and Zhao Dongsheng said to Director Zhang, whose face was a little pale.
"I will react to the province." Director Zhang smiled awkwardly. This time he had made a big ugly in front of Zhao Dongsheng. He was extremely angry with the bald young man. He was preparing to return to the province to rectify the public security of this town. For bald young man, he would arrest him and punish him for gangsters like bald young man.
The long-haired woman is from Nanhuai City. She is a nurse from a hospital. She is married and has a five-year-old son. When she got off night shift a week ago, a white van driving by her side pulled her door and pulled her into it, bringing her to the town and being wantonly humiliated by the bald young man.
Later, the long-haired woman realized that the bald young man fell in love with her and then kidnapped her.
The long-haired woman looked down upon the bald young man, but in fact she was always thinking of ways to escape, but the bald young man was very strict with her and she had no chance to escape.
Today, the bald young man was in a good mood and took her to this restaurant for dinner. In the middle, she slipped out of the private room as an excuse, but followed her with a strong young man and another young man to monitor her actions.
The reason why the long-haired woman asked for help from Zhao Dongsheng and others was because she and the bald young man were following the second floor behind Zhao Dongsheng and others. When she heard Zhao Dongsheng and the people from the Warwick Group spoke out of the accents, they were from other places, and the bald young man was a local domineering person. She was worried that those locals would not dare to provoke the bald young man, so she chose Zhao Dongsheng.
This incident was really bad. After understanding the general situation, Zhao Dongsheng and everyone walked out of the restaurant and prepared to report the case to the county where the town belongs.
There is a police station in the town, but no one can guarantee that the police station has no interest disputes with the bald young man. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Zhao Dongsheng went to the county to report the case.
Just as Zhao Dongsheng walked out of the restaurant, a black car parked on the road not far away started and drove towards him, the speed getting faster and faster.
Just as Zhao Dongsheng came to the door of the minibus and reached out to pull the door, the black car suddenly accelerated and hit him fiercely.
The development of the matter was really beyond Zhao Dongsheng's expectations. Zhao Dongsheng had no time to react. Then he heard a muffled bang and was knocked to fly. After landing on the ground, he rolled a few times and then disappeared.
The black car that hit the person did not stop at all, and left with a buzzing sound when he stepped on the accelerator.
The sudden scene caused Director Zhang, Tian Ye and others to be surprised for a brief moment, but soon everyone reacted and swarmed to Zhao Dongsheng who was lying there, and watched his situation with concern.
Zhao Dongsheng's head was often bubbling with blood, his eyes were closed, and his body was covered with many scratches. He never expected that he would be hit by a car in this unknown town.
Seeing Zhao Dongsheng's miserable appearance, everyone was confused and indifferent, especially Director Zhang, whose face turned green: If Zhao Dongsheng had any good intentions, how could he explain to the province, and how could the province explain to the Warwick Group and Hedong Province?
"Don't move him, bring the door panel and carry him away with it." Tian Ye was about to reach out to move Zhao Dongsheng to the hospital, but Xiao Su stopped him loudly.
Xiao Su is a special forces soldier and has learned medical knowledge. Naturally, he knows that Zhao Dongsheng's internal organs may be injured and fractured. Moving them randomly will only aggravate the injury.
When Tian Ye heard this, he immediately called someone to remove a door panel from the shop next to him, and at the same time he threw down five hundred yuan, lifted Zhao Dongsheng and got onto the minibus, rushed to the county hospital at a glance.
"Hmph, fighting with me is simply seeking death." After the minibus left, the bald young man led a few young people out of a shop, and sneered as he looked at the back of the minibus.
"Boss, it seems that the boy was hit hard, and he might be killed." A tall and thin young man glanced at the minibus and said with concern.
"If you dare to shoot me, you have to pay the price!" The bald young man raised his eyebrows and said gloomyly, "You go and arrange it and let Erhu go out to avoid the limelight, and come back when the matter is calmed down."
Erhu is the driver of the black sedan that hit Zhao Dongsheng just now. The bald young man felt that he had just been wiped out by Zhao Dongsheng, so he came up with such a move to take revenge on Zhao Dongsheng.
"Boss, those people have guns, probably a big deal. If we hit that kid, they will definitely not give up." The tall and thin young man hesitated for a moment and said, "There is that woman who will definitely call the police. Should we go out to hide too?"
"What are you afraid of? With my uncle here, these are all sorts of cakes." The bald young man sneered when he heard this, "The strong dragon will not suppress the local snake. When they arrive at our place, they must follow our rules."
The tall and thin young man saw the bald young man with confidence, and his expression became even more worried. The corners of his mouth squirmed a few times to persuade the bald young man, but he was unable to speak in the end.
Because Zhao Dongsheng was hit, the bald young man was in a good mood. He called the young people to continue drinking at another restaurant, and did not take Zhao Dongsheng, who was uncertain about his life and death, at all.
After the bald young man left, residents on both sides of the street came to the place where Zhao Dongsheng was hit, pointing at the shocking blood on the ground and whispering to each other.
Many people recognized that the black car that hit Zhao Dongsheng just now was a bald young man. Perhaps it was because the bald young man was too confident. When the black car hit Zhao Dongsheng, it didn't even take off the license plate. It was a time of arrogance.
At the same time, Zhao Dongsheng, who was unconscious, was sent to the Cangyun County Hospital in the town. Director Zhang took out his work permit and told the dean of the county hospital with a pale face that Zhao Dongsheng was an important VIP in Huainan Province and asked him to rescue him with all his might.
Although Director Zhang is in a state of confusion now, his thinking is still clear and he knows that Zhao Dongsheng's identity cannot be revealed now. Otherwise, not only will the Warwick Group fall into chaos and cause serious consequences, but Huainan Province will also fall into an extremely passive situation.
The president of the county hospital saw that Director Zhang was the director of the Provincial Government Office, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it, so he quickly organized forces to rescue Zhao Dongsheng.
Unfortunately, Zhao Dongsheng's injuries were too serious, and the county hospital's unexpected facilities were limited, so he was powerless to deal with Zhao Dongsheng's injuries. Therefore, after a simple medical treatment was given to Zhao Dongsheng, an ambulance in the county hospital sent Zhao Dongsheng to the city's hospital.
Director Zhang's arrival has alarmed the county leaders, but when the Cangyun County Party Secretary and County Mayor and other county leaders arrived at the county hospital, Director Zhang had already left with the ambulance.
