Slap... As soon as Governor Wang finished speaking, he felt a burning sensation on his face, seeing stars.
"You... you dare to hit the governor!" The county magistrate ran out from behind. Seeing Governor Wang being hit, he immediately shouted, "Who... who is it! Who..."
He shouted halfway before noticing that over a dozen police officers were all lying on the ground. The other dozen or so leaders who had followed had already hidden far away, trembling uncontrollably from fear. The county magistrate was also a bit bewildered.
He had been too focused on the good wine earlier and hadn't noticed such a major event happening in such a short time. Had these troublemakers fallen from the sky? Looking at the helicopter, the answer seemed to be yes!
"Master of the Mansion! How could you..." Boss Hua ran over and, seeing Lu Fan handcuffed to the railing, felt speechless. This guy had taken a girl under ten years old to Japan, annihilated over twenty Soul Realm super experts from Han Shixuan, and destroyed a killing formation composed of over sixty people. The entire world knew about this. Now he was here, handcuffed by a small pair of handcuffs. Could I say you didn't do it on purpose?
Clang... Boss Hua gently twisted and broke the handcuffs on Lu Fan's wrists, then knelt before Lu Fan with a thud. "Master of the Mansion! We arrived too late and have caused you distress!"
Seeing this, the other five also rushed over, intending to kneel. Lu Fan quickly reached out and pulled Boss Hua up, also signaling the others not to kneel.
They were all over a hundred years old; how could they kneel to him! It was Boss Hua and Hua Twenty-Three, the leading figures of Hua Rong Mansion.
Beside them, Mo Xiong and the others, without waiting for anyone else to unlock their handcuffs, exerted force on their wrists. Clang... Clang... All the handcuffs snapped. The onlookers, layered three levels deep, were all stunned. It turned out they never intended to fight; otherwise, without anyone else intervening, a few guards could have taken everyone down.
At the back of the crowd, Liu Cheng's face instantly turned pale, and his body trembled involuntarily. A feeling of impending doom arose.
"Boss Hua! I can ask you to come help me settle things, but if I were just an ordinary commoner, what should I do when encountering such a situation? How did this kind of leader climb his way up? In three years, he managed to go from county magistrate to governor.
Go back and tell the elders that while the country needs to be strong, the lives of the common people cannot be ignored. If the outside is strong but the inside is empty, do you think there will be any confidence when a real fight breaks out?" Lu Fan said as he walked towards the building.
As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw two police officers who had emptied the wine cabinet, packed the bottles into several large boxes, and were trying to carry them out.
"Need any help?" Lu Fan asked indifferently.
"Good... come here, carry this big one..." one police officer said habitually, but halfway through, his legs suddenly went weak, and he almost fell to his knees. This was because he noticed the county magistrate suddenly kneeling. And in front of him stood a group of people he didn't recognize. These people were too fierce! They exuded killing intent!
"Damn it! You dare to ransack the house?" Qiangzi and the others behind Mo Xiong suddenly lunged forward, giving those two police officers a good "greeting."
"Make them put everything back as it was. If anything is misplaced, slap yourself." After seeing Qiangzi and the others finish their "greeting," Lu Fan said indifferently.
"Yes!" Qiangzi immediately responded. Then he looked at the two police officers and said, "Let's go, we're going to play a game with you, a challenge of the impossible. A memory competition. If you break a bottle of wine, you'll pay ten times the original price."
The two police officers were instantly stunned. So much wine... and they hadn't even thought about how much they were taking when they were doing it! They suddenly looked at the county magistrate: "Boss, the county magistrate took a few bottles..."
"Esteemed sirs, I... I am the county magistrate, please... please give me some face!" The county magistrate's face was ashen, and he stammered. He didn't know why these fierce-looking people were so powerful, thinking they were bandits from the mountains. Hmph, when I get back to the county town, I'll make sure you all pay.
"We'll give you some face. Put back the few bottles you took. If you put them back correctly, we'll drop this matter. If you put them back incorrectly, others get one slap, and you get three!" Qiangzi went over, grabbed the county magistrate, and lifted him like a chick to the wine cabinet.
"You... all of you come here!" Standing at the door, Boss Hua shouted to Governor Wang, the group of leaders trembling in fear, and the dozen people pretending to be dead on the ground.
A large group of people walked over, trembling.
"I don't care what your positions are. A car will come to pick you up later. Go back and honestly explain how much wrongdoing and illegal activities you have committed, past and present. This is an opportunity, and I will only give you this one chance!" Boss Hua said loudly.
"I... I am the governor! Who are you people? Do you still have the law in your eyes?" Governor Wang suddenly straightened his back. He hadn't had a chance to announce his title yet. Now was the time. A governor was not someone anyone could provoke!
"You're the governor? Quite a high rank! However, from now on, you are not." Boss Hua's mouth twitched. He really didn't expect there to be a governor among them. It was quite surprising that such a high-level leader would do such a thing.
As expected, a large convoy sped over. When the convoy arrived, everyone was greatly surprised. It turned out to be vehicles from the provincial department, and all the high-ranking leaders from the provincial department alighted. When they presented their IDs, everyone was stunned. Governor Wang was also stunned. Weren't these people bandits? How could the collusion between officials and bandits be so blatant?
The people were quickly taken away. The county magistrate and the two police officers had their mouths slapped into pig's heads. If these people hadn't arrived, they three would probably never have left the villa.
The crowd of onlookers outside the villa also dispersed. However, someone stood in the distance, looking dazed and filled with unease. After hesitating for a long time, he took out his phone and made a call.
Inside Lu Fan's villa, Lu Fan had people prepare a table full of dishes.
"Master of the Mansion! We didn't know where you went all these years. It wasn't until a few days ago when we heard you took a little girl to Japan and annihilated over twenty super experts from Han Shixuan that we knew you had returned.
Today's incident was all our fault, but rest assured, such a thing will never happen again. With this cup of wine, I will punish myself and apologize to the Master of the Mansion!" Boss Hua poured himself a cup of wine and said.
"Alas! I'm not worried about my home. I'm worried about the homes of millions of common people. The fact that such people can rise so rapidly shows that this is a trend, not an isolated case." Lu Fan shook his head and said.
Beep beep... Suddenly, another car horn sounded from outside the courtyard. After a moment, a person stumbled in. As soon as he entered, he fell to his knees with a thud.
