Chapter 50 A Cow Meat Noodle Seller (Seeking Collection)

  I didn't expect him to solve this difficult problem with this method! You're really getting more and more surprising, and filling me with hope! But what method did he use to bring down Ma Jianbang? He definitely couldn't borrow the power of the Chen family, and the Lin family wouldn't help him. Who else in Gansu Province could have helped him? What's with this strange aura surrounding Chen Li's body? And where did he learn those bizarre training methods from?

  Chen Li's stunning performances, one after another, shocked Chen Qi again and again, making him more and more interested and curious. Little did he know that when a woman becomes interested in a man, it is also the beginning of her liking for him. Perhaps Chen Li was still unaware that this mysterious black-clad woman, who had been guessing his intentions, had already fallen for him without realizing it. Chen Qi himself lacked experience in this regard, so he didn't notice until he found himself deeply entangled and unable to extricate himself.

  In the following days, the two wolves were naturally released without guilt. Even if they had indeed extorted some money from people, the suffering of their imprisonment was enough to offset their mistakes. With their return, Zhang's Beef Noodle Restaurant on East Main Street reopened once again. This time, the newly appointed county magistrate, Wang Mingde, who had made great contributions in the anti-corruption campaign and done a huge favor for the people of Weidong County, personally came to the restaurant to offer congratulations. This was equivalent to giving Zhang's Beef Noodle Restaurant a big advertisement. The people of Weidong County, who were grateful to Wang Mingde, rushed to queue up to taste a bowl of beef noodles that the county magistrate had praised highly. As a result, the long queues in front of the four Zhang's Beef Noodle Restaurants became a unique scenic line in Weidong County!

  Not long after, under the all-out efforts of the task force, Ma Jianbang's heinous crimes were made public, and he himself ended his sinful life with a gunshot in the cheers of the people of Weidong County. However, Tan Haitao, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, hid early on and was not caught, still controlling the gang's power in secret, continuing to dominate the underground world of Weidong County, although much more subdued than before. This brought about a dramatic change in the county's public security compared to the past, earning the new Public Security Bureau chief repeated praise from Mayor Wang at the county committee meetings.

  The only regret is that Zhao Zhenhua, the county party secretary of Weidong County, was not implicated because he was cautious in his work and did not leave any evidence. Although Ma Jianbang mentioned him before his death, the anti-corruption department did not have conclusive evidence, and with the help of his backers, he managed to retain his position as county party secretary after paying some costs. However, Wang Mingde also took advantage of this opportunity to gain benefits for himself, at least placing many of his newly promoted personnel in important positions in Weidong County, initially building up his own clique there.

  Wang Mingde's shocking performance naturally caused a stir among the leadership in Weidong County. Who would have thought that this young man, whom they had looked down on, had such a strong background? He was able to directly bring people from the province and even brought down the county public security bureau chief who had been entrenched for many years. What's more frightening is that he not only arrested or killed all of Ma Jianbang's associates but also took control of the entire Weidong County police system, becoming a powerful figure in the county overnight. Even County Party Secretary Zhao Zhenhua had to temporarily avoid confrontation and cooperate with him to implement a series of poverty alleviation and reform plans, hoping to quickly shake off Weidong County's reputation as the poorest county in China.

  Under such circumstances, many officials who really want to do something for the people of Weidong County begin to consider whether they should join forces with this young county magistrate to complete this good deed that brings both fame and fortune. Moreover, given the background of this new county magistrate, even if one openly follows him, it is certain that one will not suffer from Zhao Zhenhua's retaliation, and even if one does, what can he do to you? Isn't Ma Jianbang, who has already been shot, a good example? Following Zhao Zhenhua is destined to have no future!

  As a result, many officials in Weidong County, after understanding the situation, defected to Wang Mingde's side one after another. Even many of Zhao Zhenhua's original loyal followers began to waver and their minds became loose. However, they had done too many bad things with Ma Jianbang and Zhao Zhenhua before, so even if they turned back now, it would be difficult for them to escape legal punishment. In this state of terror, they struggled through each day.

  "Secretary Zhao, the first piece of evidence that Ma Jianbang had was provided by a young man who bought beef noodles to County Mayor Wang, and when he came to the county government for the first time, I personally took him to see County Mayor Wang." In Zhao Zhenhua's office, Wang Mingde's secretary was reporting everything he knew with a flattering expression.

  "What the hell took you so long to tell me? What were you doing back then?" Zhao Zhenhua furiously exclaimed.

  "I thought he was just a small-time noodle seller, just like that County Chief Wang, a young punk who couldn't amount to anything. So I didn't take it seriously, but I never expected that Wang Mingde had such a strong backing!" Wang Mingde's secretary, Cao Zhenhua, looked somewhat tense in the face of Zhao Zhenhua's majesty, but he still quietly defended himself.

  "A butcher selling beef noodles? Ma Jianbang actually died at the hands of a butcher selling beef noodles!"
