Chapter 134: The Top Ten Outstanding Youths (Third Update)
The injury to Iron Fist was not that serious, years of training had also made his body strong, although compared to those real masters it was slightly inferior, but compared to ordinary people like A, B, C and D, he was much stronger.
Zhao Tiezhu sat on the sofa with a cold expression, and Tieshou also sat down beside him, looking at the hundreds of people on the ground. Zhao Tiezhu rubbed his temples and said to the frog, "Call someone over."
"Yes." The toad nodded and dialed a phone number.
Before long, a group of people wearing police uniforms walked in under the leadership of a middle-aged man.
"Nobody is allowed to move, someone reported a fight here, everyone put their hands on their heads and squat down." The middle-aged man hadn't arrived yet, but his voice had already reached there. He just saw everything in front of him, and the middle-aged man's voice suddenly choked up.
"What...what's going on here, is this a movie shoot or a terrorist attack?" The middle-aged man looked around, "Where's Ouyang Hao? Where's Sun Bao?"
Tie Shen looked at this person and said in a low voice, "Ou Yang Hao's people have arrived first."
"Never mind him." Zhao Tiezhu directly opened a bottle of wine and looked at this middle-aged man.
"You... you're the one who was drinking, and all of you around him, squat down where you are! Where's the victim?" The middle-aged man with a hint of official authority walked up to Zhao Tiezhu.
Zhao Tiezhu didn't even glance at that person, and asked a nearby frog, "Have those people been caught?"
"It's almost time." The toad nodded slightly.
"Uncle Li, I'm over here." Ou Yang Hao's voice trembled and came from the ground, the middle-aged man was shocked, only to find that there was a person lying beside him, like a puddle of mud, his hands and feet were all crushed, blood flowing everywhere.
"Haozi!! My god, who beat you up like this?!" The man called Li Shu hastily squatted in front of Ouyang Hao's body, "Quickly come over, what are you still standing there for, quickly call a doctor."
Ouyang Hao saw his own people finally arrive, and with a flicker of his eyes, he fainted with relief.
"Protect the scene well, don't let any of these people standing here get away!" Li Shu handed Ouyang Hao over to his men, glaring at Zhao Tiezhu and others with a face full of anger, "What happened here just now."
"He stepped on a few bastards." Zhao Tiezhu elegantly spat out a smoke ring.
"I am Director Li of FJ City's Office for Eradicating Pornography and Illegal Publications. You are suspected of fighting and brawling at night, with gangster-like behavior. Not a single one of you is allowed to run away from me!" After saying this, Director Li picked up the phone and made several calls.
The toad was about to take action, and he didn't care about Director Li or Director Zhou. He dared to threaten them, that's a death sentence, no need to say it twice. Zhao Tiezhu used his eyes to signal the toad not to act, and asked, "Director Li has such great official power, can he just tell us not to move and we won't? We are the victims, after all."
"Hmph." Director Li let out a cold snort, staring at Zhao Tiezhu like he was looking at a dead man. "Do you know that you've provoked someone you shouldn't have? You'll pay the price for this."
At this time when Director Li was showing off, people kept coming into the bar, among whom there was a person with an extraordinary demeanor. This person walked gloomily to Ouyang Hao's side and after seeing Ouyang Hao being carried away on a stretcher, he gave Director Li a signal with his eyes. Director Li had a knowing expression.
"Ouyang Hao is one of Laozi's claws." Iron Hand said quietly.
Zhao Tiezhu nodded and didn't say anything.
"Take them away!" After that man left, Director Li waved his hand and the surrounding police officers pulled out their guns, ready to take away Zhao Tiezhu and others.
"Who dares to move." A thick voice came, Zhao Tiezhu looked over and saw a man with slightly thinning hair, but his whole body was full of ferocity.
"You are......" Director Li was taken aback, this person looked somewhat familiar.
"You're not qualified to ask for my name." The man ignored Director Li, walked directly to Zhao Tiezhu's side, and smiled as he extended both hands, "Sorry to have startled you."
Zhao Tiezhu also found this person's attitude a bit strange. This was the person he had called, but in terms of status, this person's status wasn't much lower than his own, so why were they being so enthusiastic?
Zhao Tiezhu didn't know that not long ago, Old Zhao had already arrived in FJ City and even communicated with the high-level officials of FJ about Zhao Tiezhu's situation. This person was from the Provincial Public Security Department and originally could still get along with Zhao Tiezhu on an equal footing. However, it was precisely because Zhao Tiezhu was able to attract Old Zhao's attention, and both of them shared the same surname "Zhao", that this person couldn't help but have some thoughts. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Tiezhu made a phone call, he immediately rushed over.
"You are the Deputy Governor!!!!" Director Li suddenly exclaimed! The person in front of him was no wonder looking familiar, this man was indeed the Deputy Governor of FJ Province and also the Director of the FJ Provincial Public Security Department! In FJ, he belonged to a faction with real power, and it was rumored that he was also the trusted confidant of Secretary Zhang Yihuang of the Provincial Party Committee, in FJ Province, his power was overwhelming.
"Hmph." The middle-aged man snorted, saying, "Our honored guest from FJ Province was actually attacked by the underworld here. I will definitely have a good talk with your mayor about this matter."
"This, Governor Gao..." Director Li wanted to say something else, but Governor Gao waved his hand and another dozen or so police officers walked in from outside. These police officers were all at least of the same rank as Director Li, who was so scared that his legs went soft. What had Ouyang Hao done tonight to provoke such a big shot?
Everything didn't end with the arrival of Gao Shenglong at night, Zhao Tiezhu and others were safely sent out of the bar, and the shock of FJ City's high-level officials had just begun.
Under the instruction of certain individuals, the FJ Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, led directly by the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, bypassed the Municipal Party Committee Secretary and directly took multiple high-ranking officials into custody, including Ou Yanghao and Sun Bao's father. Huang Ning, however, managed to avoid this disaster unscathed due to his non-involvement in the events of that evening.
After several days of investigation, the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission obtained a large amount of evidence, including proof of Ou Yanghao and Sun Bao developing the White Eagle Gang, a black society organization, under the protection of their fathers. Many money laundering and corruption crimes were also exposed. Due to their injuries, Ou Yanghao and Sun Bao were temporarily exempt from prosecution, but once they recovered, they would face legal punishment.
In this campaign against organized crime, many law-abiding citizens emerged, such as Zhao Tiezhu, a student at FJ University, who infiltrated the black society organization alone, gathered evidence of their crimes, and provided reliable information for the final capture.
"What the...?!" Zhao Tiezhu was currently sitting in Iron Fist's office, with a copy of FJ Daily in front of him.
"Haha, this is all a manifestation of good intentions." Tie Shou chuckled and took the newspaper. On it was a stern-looking side profile of Zhao Tiezhu. The article described Zhao as an excellent student with a strong sense of justice, but omitted the fact that over a hundred people were injured in the bar incident, instead exaggerating Zhao's image as a lone hero who charged into the tiger's den.
"Tiě zhù ā, nǐ kě chéng míng rén le ā." Fàn Jiàn zài yī páng tōu xiào, Zhāo Tiězhù wú yǔ, zhèxiē bàozhǐ dōu chī shénme zhǎngdà de, bùyào bǎ zìjǐ xiě jìnqù jiù le ma, zhè fēi yào pěng zìjǐ, hǎo ma, xiàn zài zìjǐ xiǎngyào dī diào dōu dī diào bù guò lái le, jù shuō shàng tóu hái dǎsuàn bǎ zìjǐ píng wèi jīnnián de shí dà jiéchū qīngnián, kào, shí dà jiéchū qīngnián huì gǎo hēi shèhuì ā? Zhāo Tiězhù yòu bàole ge cūkǒu.
English Translation:
"Tiě zhù ā, you're famous now!" Fan Jian chuckled on the side, Zhao Tiezhu was speechless. What are these newspapers eating to grow up like this? Can't they just not write about themselves? They have to flatter themselves, okay? Now he wants to keep a low profile but can't even do that anymore. It's said that the higher-ups plan to name him one of the top ten outstanding youths of the year. Damn it, will being an outstanding youth lead to joining the underworld? Zhao Tiezhu cursed again.
"Brother Tiezhu, you're not kidding, most of the top ten selected are even more corrupt than us." Tieshou said with a smile, "For example, I know that one of Bai Hu's advisors was also awarded as one of the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs a few years ago, and it was all bought with money. Even Lao Er Nie has created a 'Top Ten Most Inspiring Figures in the City' award for himself."
"Ah, is it that thief?" Zhao Tiezhu exclaimed in surprise.
"It's not like that, spend some money, earn a good reputation, prepare for whitening later, everyone does it." Tie Shou explained.
Just then, the toad opened the office door and said, "Brother Tiezhu, the person has been caught."
