Chapter 1891 (2/2)

Not too far away from the hotel was the government's courtyard. Zhao Kai's home was in that courtyard, and although the commoners were all afraid of being officials, they would definitely talk about all sorts of things related to being officials. Especially since they were doing business in the vicinity of this courtyard.

While chatting with them, Zhang Lei might actually be able to get some information out of them.

”What's good?” Zhang Lei shook his head and smiled bitterly, ”Originally, I thought that this method was pretty good. No matter if it's a rumor or something else, I can at least hear some things, right? ”But who would have thought that the moment I started asking or just exchanged a few words, before we could get to the main point, the Town Security came over and chased away those stalls.”

Ji Feng was startled. ”They are chased away? ”What about the people in the supermarket?”

The Town Security chased away the stall peddlers, but they didn't have any reason to drive away the people from the supermarket, right?

Zhang Lei harrumphed, ”The people in the supermarket are obviously busy greeting the manufacturers! This was nothing, there was something even more despicable! The next day, those peddlers did not appear again. I had thought that they were afraid of getting into trouble, maybe they had temporarily dodged it, so I did not care. However, a few days ago, I accidentally found a person at an intersection … ”

Zhang Lei's face was filled with anger, ”That's a middle-aged man with a fruit stall. When I saw him later on, there were obvious scars on his face, and when he saw me, his face was clearly filled with panic. He quickly pushed the cart and ran, and didn't even want the boxes of fruits on the ground …”

Ji Feng's brows instantly furrowed. His face was gloomy and extremely ugly to behold.

Needless to say, that middle-aged man who sold fruits was surely beaten up. Moreover, the reason they were beaten was absolutely because of Zhang Lei. Otherwise, that person wouldn't have revealed a panicked expression the moment he saw Zhang Lei.

Even if one were to use their toes to think, one would know that the reason why someone would hit those peddlers was not for anything else but because they had chatted with Zhang Lei.

It was because some people were afraid that they said something they shouldn't have said to Zhang Lei that they decided to teach them a lesson!

It was also because of this that the middle-aged man who sold fruits would run off without saying a word after seeing Zhang Lei. Because he was afraid, he was afraid that if he continued to chat with Zhang Lei, he would be beaten, and perhaps even more so, suffer a serious consequence!

Zhang Lei gritted his teeth and cursed, ”F * ck off with eighteen generations of ancestors! When I saw this situation, I immediately understood what was going on. There was someone who didn't want those small vendors to talk to me! ”

Ji Feng said in a deep voice, ”It seems that the person behind this is someone who doesn't want those peddlers to talk to Zhang Lei. He has quite a lot of power in Haizhou!” ”Heh!”

The police didn't react much to people who could mobilize business and city administration. This meant that at least the business and city administration had listened to this person's orders, and the police were giving him face.

From this point of view, this person should at least be the regional leader.

In fact, it was very likely that he was a higher level leader.

Of course, it could also be someone who was outside of the system with a lot of power. However, regardless of who this person was, at the very least, there must have been a certain leader involved in this matter.

If that was the case, the cause of the incident to Zhao Kai's family members should have been related to the bureaucratic matter.

Actually, it was not surprising when he thought about it carefully. Zhao Kai's father was a cadre himself. The people who could make him suffer were naturally officials, and they were definitely of a higher rank than him.

”Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds truly are arrogant enough!” Zhang Lei snorted coldly. Even when thinking about it now, his expression was still extremely unsightly.

”He's more than arrogant. This is outrageous!” Ji Feng laughed coldly.

”How dare you call this unbridled?” Zhang Lei sneered as he shook his head, ”The one who is truly unscrupulous is still at the end!”

”What do you mean?”

Ji Feng asked in a low voice.

From what Zhang Lei said, it seemed that something even more outrageous had happened?

As expected, Zhang Lei took a long drag on his cigarette and said coldly, ”The night I met that fruit vendor, the police came to check in the Hai Zhou Hotel. The police inspection was very interesting. They said that they were checking, but in fact, they went straight to my room!”

Ji Feng frowned, ”They are here to capture you?”

Zhang Lei sneered, ”Anyway, those cops aren't here to treat me to a meal!”

Ji Feng asked, ”Then how did you escape? Did you reveal your ident.i.ty or something? ”

Zhang Lei laughed, ”You revealed your ident.i.ty to those people? I can't afford to lose that man! I went out the window at the foot of the stairs before they came in to check, and hung the vent at the back until they left me! ”

As he said this, Zhang Lei's expression became incomparably gloomy. ”I'm sure that those dog b.a.s.t.a.r.ds wanted to frame me, or find some random reason to capture me, but they didn't expect that the moment they came downstairs, I realized that they were here to cause trouble for me, so I hid in advance …”
