Chapter 70 Dawei, I believe in you
"County Chief Chen, I'll be waiting for you outside."
Wu Maocai, being sensible, retreated to the threshing ground outside, sat under the persimmon tree, and chatted with Lin Qiufeng casually.
Qiu Feng was a simple and honest woman from the countryside, and naturally she was not very cunning. Unknowingly, Wu Maocai tricked her into revealing a lot of information.
Wu Maocai quickly learned that Uncle Lin had died from pneumoconiosis contracted at the Wansheng Stone Factory.
However, Wu Maocai was not trying to get information out of this family; he simply wanted to help them.
He could tell that Dawei valued Lin Qiufeng and her family highly.
"Hey, Comrade Qiufeng, where's your wife?"
"I...I'm not married yet."
"Oh—I see. I'm so sorry, so sorry." Wu Maocai clasped his hands together and apologized repeatedly.
Looking more closely at Lin Qiufeng's gaze as she peered into the living room, one could guess the gist of it.
The way a woman looks at a man with affection is impossible to hide.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Director Wu, I haven't poured you tea yet."
Lin Qiufeng quickly went to the kitchen, poured a cup of hot water from the kettle, and the two continued to chat idly on the threshing floor.
Inside the living room.
Dawei and Lin Yunxing's conversation didn't go as smoothly.
David asked him several times what he really wanted to do.
Lin Lao Er finally lost his patience with the questions: "Stop asking. It won't do you any good to answer. You're an official."
"I'm also your friend, second brother."
"Precisely because we're friends, I can't tell you."
David was certain: this guy was going to take extreme measures; he was going to kill someone!
"Are you looking to settle scores with the Wansheng Group?"
"..." Lin Lao Er glanced at Da Wei in a panic: "I told you, don't ask. Brother Wei, thank you for coming to see me."
"You know what kind of situation Wansheng Group is, yet you want to mess with them? Who do you want to mess with?"
"I have my own plans."
"Jiang Xiong?" Dawei pressed.
A ruthless glint flashed across Lin Lao Er's face.
David knew he'd guessed right, and chuckled speechlessly, "You can't even find your enemies, what revenge are you talking about?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Lao Er looked at Dawei in astonishment.
"Jiang Xiong is just the boss of Wansheng Group on the surface. He is not the real controller behind the scenes. Even if you kill Jiang Xiong, it will be of no use. Wansheng Group will continue to operate, and Uncle Lin's revenge will still not be avenged."
Lin Lao Er raised an eyebrow, looking at Dawei with great surprise: "You're lying to me, aren't you?"
He thought that David had deliberately made up a lie to dissuade him from acting impulsively.
Why would I lie to you?
Having lived in the county for so many years, do I not know Wansheng Group better than you?
And even if you were to try and get Jiang Xiong, you still wouldn't have a chance to succeed.
He was always accompanied by bodyguards, and when he shared a room with a woman, the bodyguards stood at the door.
How did you kill him?
Lin Yunxing lowered his head, clutching his hair, unable to answer. He was already overwhelmed by the pain of losing his father, and now he only wanted to avenge his father.
Uncle Lin's tragic death led to him being wrongly imprisoned for over a week, and his sister was fired and verbally abused...
One thing after another weighed heavily on Lin Yunxing, making it hard for him to breathe.
"If I can't kill Jiang Xiong, I'll kill a few of his men."
One sickle, one dog.
They could at least kill two or three.
David lit a cigarette and shook his head repeatedly: "If you think that way, then you're stupid."
You're satisfied.
What will happen to your sister?
What will you do about your mom?
In this kind of environment, with two women in the countryside and no strong man to support them, who are they supposed to rely on?
Besides, is your life so worthless that a few scumbags under Jiang Xiong would trade it for yours?
Lin Lao Er angrily said, "Then tell me, who is the actual controller of Wansheng Group? I'll go and get him."
"Telling you won't help. He's a hundred times more powerful than Jiang Xiong, and you have no way to kill him."
"So my dad died for nothing?"
"I won't have died in vain, things are changing!" Dawei said firmly and sincerely: "I'm the county magistrate now, and I'll resolve the Wansheng Group issue sooner or later."
You can absolutely hand this over to the government.
There's no need to throw away a life for nothing.
County Chief Qiao was preparing to take action against this company at the time, but then encountered difficulties.
I also harbor resentment, and I want to avenge County Chief Qiao.
There are many ways to take revenge, and you've chosen the dumbest one.
We can openly and legitimately use proper channels and methods to wipe out all the scumbags in the Wansheng Group.
Lin Yunxing stared blankly at Dawei.
He knew Chen Dawei too well. He was a man who could endure hardship and achieve great things. His father had also told him before he left that if he was ever unsure about something, he should consult Dawei and listen to him.
The second son didn't believe it when someone else said it.
He believed it when David said it.
"Does your county government really intend to deal with this company?"
"Um."
"Okay, David, I believe you."
David picked up the sickle that was next to his second brother and placed it behind the door: "That's right... How's work going these days?"
"Don't even mention it. My boss fired me as soon as I got out of the detention center."
Dawei had already guessed this outcome. If Jiang Xiong and his group wanted to deal with Lin Yunxing, they wouldn't just teach him a lesson; they would definitely drive Lin Yunxing away before they felt at ease.
Previously, Lin Yunxing worked as a driver for a logistics company in the county.
Without a job, he couldn't make a living in Yuanshan County and had to return to the countryside, which reduced the threat posed by Jiang Xiong and his gang.
"It's alright, I'll see if there are any spots available and arrange one for you."
Dawei's words were overheard by Wu Maocai outside the house, and Director Wu knocked on the door.
"Come in, Director Wu," Dawei called out, gesturing for Lin Yunxing to quickly offer Director Wu a cigarette.
Lin Yunxing was originally a simpleton, but with Dawei's guidance, he gradually became more perceptive and went up to offer the cigarette with both hands.
"Have a cheap cigarette, Director Wu."
"Thanks, they're all the same. There's no difference between cigarettes."
Director Wu sat down next to Dawei, smiling as he carefully examined Lin Yunxing: "Brother, looking at all those muscles on you, were you in the army before?"
"No, I trained in track and field in school, then attended a martial arts school for two years, and then worked as a laborer after graduation."
"No wonder..." Wu Maocai turned his head and looked at Dawei with amusement: "County Chief Chen, I have a suggestion. Our county government's logistics service center happens to be short of drivers."
Or how about we have Brother Yunxing drive to our county government?
You'll need a driver too.
It's better to use what you know than what you don't.
Friends are always more trustworthy than strangers.
Wu Maocai's suggestion resonated with Dawei, but Dawei couldn't show it.
"Well... my brother here is a bit tough. He's been in jail a few times before, but it was always administrative detention. These kinds of conditions..."
"Hey, what's the big deal? It's not like we're going to become civil servants or signing an outsourcing contract. My wife and Director Liu's wife from the logistics service center get along well. I'll talk to them, and this is no problem."
"Then I'll thank Director Wu on behalf of Yunxing... But don't tell anyone that I'm hiring a driver for the county. A county driver is mainly for serving my colleagues in the county."
Wu Maocai smiled knowingly: "I understand."
That's what they say.
According to regulations, county heads are not allowed to have full-time drivers.
In practice, many county government drivers will reserve one driver specifically for the county head's travel.
"Yunxing, what are your thoughts? Would you be willing to work as a driver for the county government?" Dawei asked softly.
