“You were the former county magistrate’s secretary? Now you’ve become the magistrate,” Lu Fan said calmly, looking at the magistrate again.
“That’s right! I was the magistrate’s secretary back then, but now I am the magistrate!” the magistrate said proudly.
“Congratulations! You’ve all been promoted. But this doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me. What do you want me for today?” Lu Fan asked indifferently.
“The provincial governor is coming to inspect our work and plans to rest at your villa today. We need you to vacate the villa. Your family members will temporarily move to another place to stay,” the magistrate said coldly, puffing out his chest.
“Vacate? Heh!” Lu Fan was amused to the point of anger. This wasn’t asking for a place to rest; it was clearly an attempt to seize the property.
“I’m sorry! I have no such obligation. You should leave!” Lu Fan said, turning to walk back.
“Lu Fan! You are no longer the Lu Fan you used to be. I tried to reason with you, but you wouldn’t listen. Hmph! Then don’t blame me for being impolite!” the magistrate sneered and suddenly waved his hand. More than a dozen police officers immediately got out of the nearby cars.
“Young Master! Let us handle this!” Mo Xiong, along with Qiang Zi and others, immediately stepped forward to shield Lu Fan.
“Lu Fan! Someone has accused you of being involved with gangs, illegal explosives, public brawling, and bullying the weak, injuring people. Please come with us for investigation,” a police officer said imposingly, roaring at Lu Fan as he approached.
“Oh? May I know who has accused me?” Lu Fan smiled, his eyes narrowing slightly. A murderous intent shot out from his small eyes.
“Come out!” the police officer suddenly turned and shouted. Immediately, a person walked over from the surrounding crowd; it was Zhang San.
“I… I’ve been beaten by this kid many times! They are numerous and powerful, and I was beaten terribly. But I didn’t dare to say anything. Now I’m reporting him!” Zhang San’s gaze flickered with nervousness when he saw Lu Fan, but seeing so many important leaders supporting him, he still straightened his skinny waist and spoke with his toes pointed.
“Damn it! They’ve even found a witness! This was planned for a long time, wasn’t it?” Lu Fan couldn’t help but curse, then suddenly took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Fu… Governor! You finally called me!” an excited voice came from the phone.
“Someone is trying to seize my house. Come and deal with it!” Lu Fan said and hung up.
Provincial Governor Wang and the magistrate exchanged glances. It seemed that this kid was calling for backup.
From the back of the crowd, a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, frowned as he watched. These fools couldn’t even handle one Lu Fan. What use were so many police officers!
“Director Wu! Don’t waste your breath with them. We cannot show any tolerance towards these people involved in crime! Not only must we strike, but we must strike hard and accurately,” Provincial Governor Wang said sternly, his face instantly turning into that of a guardian of justice, as he shouted at the police officer beside him.
“Yes!” The police officer immediately felt boundless confidence, waved his hand, and shouted, “Take them all away!”
Whoosh… More than a dozen police officers immediately rushed forward.
Mo Xiong and the others were about to make a move. Suddenly, they heard Lu Fan say, “Don’t do anything!”
The men immediately stood still, not moving at all.
Clink, clink… Handcuffs, shining with a silvery luster, were placed on their wrists.
Provincial Governor Wang and the magistrate, seeing that Lu Fan and his group did not resist, immediately felt relieved. They straightened their backs even further.
“Open the main gate!” the magistrate stepped forward and shouted imposingly.
Whoosh… The gate was pushed open.
“Xiao Fan!?” Wang Yan called out from the side, not understanding why Lu Fan had suddenly become so timid. A killer who had killed countless people, and now he was as docile as a rabbit, which was truly hard to believe at first glance.
“Just listen to them! Let’s see what they really want to do!” Lu Fan transmitted his voice to Wang Yan.
In just over ten minutes, the provincial governor, the magistrate, and a large group of accompanying inspection leaders all entered the villa compound. Lu Fan’s family, including the servants, a total of more than ten people, were all driven out.
Lu Fan and his group were handcuffed to the outer wall of the compound, ready to be taken away when they left. However, Provincial Governor Wang and the magistrate and others entered Lu Fan’s villa, their eyes widening. The villa was too luxurious. The items inside the villa…
“Provincial Governor Wang, look over here. This entire wine cabinet is filled with genuine Maotai, Wuliangye, and various famous brands of red wine. The prices range from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan.” The magistrate’s eyes showed astonishment. He was already a magistrate and had tasted all kinds of wines. He knew the price of each bottle. These wines… even his own home didn’t have so many. And such a commoner possessed so many famous wines. Where was the fairness in that?
“Hmph! We are cracking down on crime and evil. All these things will be confiscated!” Provincial Governor Wang snorted.
“Understood! Understood!” The magistrate immediately smiled and nodded.
“Someone, come here and pack all these wines and send them to Provincial Governor Wang’s and the magistrate’s cars.” Behind them, Director Wu immediately shouted to the people nearby.
Two police officers immediately came over and began taking out all the wine from the wine cabinet.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh… Suddenly, the loud sound of helicopter rotors filled the villa compound. Everyone was startled and ran over to see a helicopter landing in the middle of the courtyard.
Six people jumped out of the helicopter. Each of them had an angry expression on their faces and strode towards the villa.
“Who are you people?” Director Wu rushed out of the room and shouted at the group.
Bang… The response was a swift kick. Whoosh… Director Wu flew more than ten meters away and landed heavily on the ground.
“Assaulting a police officer… Someone is assaulting a police officer!” someone suddenly shouted. Immediately, more than a dozen police officers rushed over. Clink, clink… Some of them even drew their pistols.
Bang, bang, bang… Five of the six people rushed out with incredible speed. In just a few seconds, all the dozen or so police officers were lying on the ground.
“Governor… Governor…” Hua Laoda shouted, his neck craned, unable to see Lu Fan.
“Stop shouting, I’m here!” Lu Fan called out from under the fence.
“Who are you people? How dare you openly assault a police officer!” At this moment, Provincial Governor Wang ran out of the villa, shouting in exasperation.
