"It's simple, just deceive them. Promise five hundred yuan a day, and a lot of poor souls will flock to us. Once they're here, we'll lock them in the mine and promise them the five hundred yuan a day. After a month, we'll only pay basic wages, claiming the rest is held back for another month. When the second month is up, we'll tell them they've earned a lot, but after deducting various fines, there's nothing left. They'll definitely protest. It doesn't matter, let them howl. We'll just lure in the next batch," Hu Bao said with a sinister grin.
"Brother, isn't what we're doing too wicked?" Hu Biao also said with a mischievous smile.
"It is very wicked, but it doesn't matter as long as we make money! Nowadays, the way to make big money is found in the criminal law. Alright, enough talk. Hurry up and deal with Chen Feng. If he doesn't die, our second phase of private mining can't begin." Hu Bao urged.
Hu Biao scurried off towards the mine. Upon arriving, Hu Biao was so terrified that he immediately hid in the shadows. Good heavens, how was Chen Feng rescued from the mine by bomb disposal soldiers? After a brief observation, Hu Biao dared not linger and rushed back to Hu Bao's office.
"Abiao, why are you back so soon? Is Chen Feng dead?" Hu Bao asked excitedly.
"Brother, something terrible has happened. Chen Feng isn't dead; he's out of the mine," Hu Biao said, his face pale with fear.
"What? Chen Feng is out of the mine? How is that possible? Aren't there sensitive explosives at the mine entrance?" Hu Bao questioned, feeling dizzy.
"I don't know why, but military bomb disposal troops appeared at the scene, and then Chen Feng came out unharmed."
"How is that possible? Chen Feng is just a minor local official. How could he possibly involve the military?" Hu Bao questioned with disbelief.
"Brother, I saw the uniforms of those bomb disposal soldiers. They aren't from the local military region; they're from the capital military region. Damn it, this is too strange. A minor local official actually has connections with the capital's military," Hu Biao exclaimed, his eyes wide with shock.
"Forget it, it's happened, and there's no use dwelling on it. Even if Chen Feng has connections with the capital's military, he must die. If he doesn't die, we will. Everything he's done is pushing us to our deaths," Hu Bao said with murderous intent.
"Brother, I agree with you. This Chen Feng kid clearly doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and is looking for death. By the way, brother, do you have any good ideas to kill Chen Feng?" Hu Biao asked excitedly.
"If it were just an ordinary person, I'd just have a few of my men kill him with big knives. But now that Chen Feng has connections with the military, we can't act rashly. How about this, let's wait a few days. I'll think of a foolproof plan before making a move," Hu Bao said calmly.
The Hu Brothers Group was indeed involved in organized crime, engaging in murder and robbery without hesitation, but that didn't mean they were foolish. If Chen Feng had connections with the military, acting rashly might not only fail to kill Chen Feng but also likely lead to their own demise. One had to admit, Hu Bao was a villain with both courage and strategy. Unfortunately, he encountered Chen Feng.
That evening, while Hu Bao was in his office devising a plan to kill Chen Feng, the mining accident victims hired by Chen Feng at great expense quietly surrounded Hu Bao's office. There were about fifteen mining accident victims.
"Everyone, Hu Bao has been the head of this criminal organization for over a decade. He is cunning and treacherous. If we rush in now, we'll either be killed by traps or riddled with bullets. Therefore, I suggest we use strategy. It's not that we're afraid of death; we're willing to die for revenge. However, losing our lives for such a villain is not worth it," a middle-aged man among them said in a low voice.
Everyone agreed.
"How about… a fire attack?" someone in the crowd suggested.
"Yes, a fire attack! Leave one person on watch, and the rest quickly go find gasoline," an order was given, and everyone immediately went to find gasoline.
In less than half an hour, everyone returned with a small bucket of gasoline. Without a word, they angrily poured the gasoline through the door crack into the office. After pouring, they simply threw in a lighter. Within seconds, the entire office was engulfed in flames.
"Almost forgot, Hu Biao is still alive. Let's go burn down Hu Biao's villa." The crowd shouted, filled with righteous anger.
In less than half an hour, the crowd appeared at Hu Biao's villa. Hu Biao was currently enjoying himself with a woman in his room. The crowd didn't care; all sixty or so miners had died because of the Hu brothers, and the two brothers had to pay with their lives. After the villa was engulfed in flames, the crowd immediately headed to the airport. With two arson cases in Wuzhou District, the police would surely investigate, and they had to escape immediately.
Arriving at the airport, everyone was very nervous, fearing that Chen Feng would renege on his promise and not let them flee abroad. After all, for over a dozen people to flee abroad, plus the bounty for each person, it was a considerable sum of money. Sending them to prison would save this huge expense.
"He won't. Although we haven't known Director Chen for long, this mining accident wasn't originally Director Chen's or the Zhao family's responsibility. Director Chen could have stayed out of it, but he was still willing to compensate each mining accident victim so much money. What does this tell us? It fully shows that Director Chen is not a man who goes back on his word," someone in the crowd explained.
Hearing this, everyone agreed. If Director Chen were such a cunning villain, he could have completely ignored the Zhao family and the Hu Brothers Group and greedily accumulated wealth for himself. The reality was that Chen Feng hadn't done that.
As they were discussing, an airport staff member walked over with a serious expression. Everyone instinctively jumped in fright. Good heavens, had the airport colluded with the police to set a trap?
"Excuse me, are you mining accident victims?" the airport staff member asked directly.
"No," everyone lied instinctively. The situation was very serious, and they dared not take risks. Murder cases in China are extremely serious criminal offenses. Once convicted, there is only the path of death.
"Since you are not, then I apologize for disturbing you. By the way, if you see any mining accident victims, please tell them that Mr. Chen has arranged a chartered flight for them to go overseas, and their passports have been prepared." The airport staff member said deliberately.
"A chartered flight?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, a chartered flight! Judging by your expressions, you know where the mining accident victims are?" the airport staff member asked deliberately.
"We are them." The crowd no longer lied. They were incredibly moved by Chen Feng. Many couldn't help but shed tears.
For the past few years, Wuzhou District had been plagued by villains and corrupt officials who treated them like beasts, exploiting them and even taking their lives. This young man, Chen Feng, was simply an angel sent from heaven to save them. Not only did he allow them to avenge their loved ones, but he also provided substantial compensation and even arranged for a chartered flight. In short, Director Chen was truly a man of his word, and it was no wonder he was so successful in his career.
"Since you are the mining accident victims, please board the special plane immediately. In another hour, the police will be looking for you," the airport staff member said sternly.
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped their exclamations and emotions and boarded the special plane. As the crowd departed for overseas on the special plane, the Wuzhou District mining accident incident was quietly resolved. Not only was the mining accident itself resolved, but the largest criminal organization in Wuzhou District was also wiped out. This also meant that Wuzhou District was about to usher in great development.
"Honey, thank you so much. This time, without you, my father, the Zhao family, and I would have been completely finished. I never imagined you were so capable, directly eliminating the tumor of Wuzhou District, the Hu brothers, and doing it so quietly," Zhao Hongyan said excitedly.
"Miss Hongyan, it's too early to celebrate. The Hu Brothers Group isn't completely finished yet…" Chen Feng said with a serious expression.
