Chapter 214: Taking Action Against Wei Ming!

After Huang Zongze explained everything clearly, not only did Tang Chen angrily clench his fists, but even Fang Qian’s eyes burned with rage.

“So because of this, you deliberately blew up the Chemical Plant?!” Fang Qian didn’t know how to describe her feelings at that moment—was it grief and indignation?!

Thinking of the man she deeply loved, a firefighter willing to sacrifice his life for the safety of the people, who in the end died in a fire that should never have happened, all because of such a reason! How could she not hate? Was there no justice left in the world?

“I’ll kill you!” Fang Qian finally couldn’t hold back anymore. The suppressed tears burst forth like a dam breaking. She let out a hysterical scream and lunged at Huang Zongze, clawing at him.

Huang Zongze desperately protected his face, not even daring to fight back, letting Fang Qian vent her rage by scratching his face until it was covered in blood.

Fang Qian lost all her previous grace; now she looked like a madwoman. She hated Huang Zongze, hated herself. If Tang Chen hadn’t exposed him, she would have still thought of him as a boss with at least some conscience.

“Go ahead, Sister Fang, you’ve suffered too much. Let it all out, you’ll feel better.” Tang Chen made no move to pull Fang Qian away. She was a woman who had raised a child alone for three years; the bitterness in her heart was understandable.

It was only after Fang Qian had vented for about ten minutes and Huang Zongze was beaten beyond recognition that Tang Chen stepped forward to pull her away, saying, “Sister Fang, we still need this scumbag alive!”

After speaking, Tang Chen set Fang Qian aside, then walked over and slapped Huang Zongze again. He grabbed him by the collar and coldly said, expressionless, “You really deserve to die. Someone like you, scum, deserves to die a thousand, ten thousand times over. Tell me, who did you bribe back then?”

Although Tang Chen thought killing Huang Zongze would be simpler, it seemed from Huang Zongze’s words that someone had been protecting him back then; otherwise, such a major incident wouldn’t have been covered up so easily.

“Just kill me, I won’t say anything, cough, cough!” Huang Zongze spat blood as he spoke, looking utterly miserable.

“Want to die?” Tang Chen grinned bloodthirstily, then lifted him up and threw him hard onto the table. He casually picked up a kitchen knife and slashed it toward his stomach.

Slash!

“Ah!” Huang Zongze let out a pig-like squeal. He really was being treated like a pig.

“Don’t get worked up, Young Master just made a small cut in your stomach. From now on, every time you refuse to talk, I’ll cut you once. If you refuse twice, I’ll cut you twice. Looking at your thick fat, I bet you can withstand about ten cuts.”

“De… devil!” Huang Zongze could no longer care about the pain from the bleeding wound on his stomach. All he wanted was to go home to his mother; he really didn’t want to face such a person anymore!

“I admit I’m a devil, but I’m nowhere near as bad as a scumbag like you! Just because you didn’t want to pay the workers’ wages, you blew up the factory! What’s the difference between you and an animal?! Those were four living human lives! Aren’t you afraid of retribution?! Speak! Who helped you?!”

Tang Chen had never been so angry before. He never thought that in the legal society of our Great China, such an evil deed could happen! If he didn’t rid the people of this scourge, heaven itself would be unjust!

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me! I’ll talk, I’ll talk! It was Wei Ming and Zhang Guangnian, just those two! Don’t kill me, don’t kill me! Waa!” By the end, that idiot was bawling loudly.

“Young Master knows Zhang Guangnian, he’s the mayor. Who is Wei Ming?” Tang Chen never expected that the mayor, who was always praised for his integrity, would be involved. People’s hearts are truly unfathomable!

“Tang Chen, Wei Ming is the current Bureau Chief of the Fire Department.” Fang Qian’s eyes were still red. She finally understood why Huang Zongze had been so bold—he had such a powerful figure protecting him.

“Bureau Chief of the Fire Department? Someone looking for death!” Tang Chen furiously dragged Huang Zongze down, then flung him hard against the wall. With a loud thud, the jerk hit the ground, whimpered once, and fell silent.

“Tang Chen, you didn’t kill him, did you?” Fang Qian, after all, was a girl. Although furious at Huang Zongze’s actions, she didn’t want to see someone die in her home!

Tang Chen waved his hand and said, “Sister Fang, letting this scumbag die like that would be too easy on him. Now that we know the truth, what do you plan to do?”

Fang Qian said firmly, “I don’t know how to say it, but I don’t want my man to have died in vain, and I don’t want to see the murderer escape justice!”

Tang Chen grunted in agreement and said seriously, “Sister Fang, since I know about this matter, I won’t stand by and do nothing. I have an idea: can you still contact the families of the firefighters and the workers from back then?”

Fang Qian nodded and said, “Yes, we’re still in touch. A phone call is all it takes to arrange a meeting.”

Tang Chen nodded in satisfaction, pulled a voice recorder from his pocket, and handed it to Fang Qian, saying, “Sister Fang, this has Huang Zongze’s confession from just now. Take this to the other firefighters’ families and such, then write a joint petition. As soon as day breaks tomorrow, go to the city government and file a complaint!”

Fang Qian took it blankly, not expecting Tang Chen to suggest such a plan. But since there was no better option at the moment, she nodded and said, “I understand, Tang Chen. Thank you so much. Don’t worry, I’ll contact them right now. What about you?”

Tang Chen snorted and said coldly, “Wei Ming and our Mayor Zhang have probably forgotten all about what happened three years ago. Young Master is going to pay them a visit and remind them.”

Fang Qian said worriedly, “But Tang Chen, by standing up for us like this, won’t you get into trouble yourself?”

Tang Chen said earnestly, “Sister Fang, remember this: this bizarre world has made people lose many things. If they’ve even lost their conscience, then scum like them should just die!” With that, Tang Chen wasted no more words and dragged the unconscious Huang Zongze out of Fang Qian’s house.

Fang Qian clenched her delicate fists. If Tang Chen, an outsider, was willing to do this for her, what reason did she, as someone directly involved, have not to fight? Thinking this, she turned and went out.

“Respected Host, this System knows you are angry, but I still hope you can calm down. After all, the people you’re facing are government officials.” Seeing Tang Chen’s cold, silent expression, the System couldn’t help but advise him.

“No discussion. Young Master has been lacking in decisiveness recently. I need someone to make an example of. System, find out where Wei Ming lives for me.”

Tang Chen was determined to take action. All along, he had been too low-key. Tonight, he would thoroughly clean out the parasites in society!

The System sighed and began searching for the coordinates.

Wei Ming had a standalone rural Villa. At that moment, he was watching a video of a certain teacher and reviewing documents. Three years ago, he was just a team leader, but now he had become the Bureau Chief. These past few years had been quite glorious for him.

Bang!

Wei Ming was terrified. The loud noise scared him out of his wits. Turning around, he saw that the window behind him had been smashed, leaving a large hole with broken glass all over the floor. More importantly, there was a person lying on the ground.

Yes, a person. Wei Ming nearly fainted from fright. What was going on? He was on the third floor of his Villa—how did this person get up here? Did he fly?

Wei Ming mustered his courage to take a closer look, then cried out in shock, “Boss Huang!” It was none other than Huang Zongze, who had long been unconscious!

“So you do know him. That means I haven’t found the wrong person.” A cold voice came from behind. A cold sweat broke out on Wei Ming’s back. He turned to see that Tang Chen had somehow appeared behind him!

“Who are you? Why are you in my house?” Wei Ming shouted, nearly vomiting blood. Why had this guy mysteriously shown up in his home? What was happening?

“Who I am isn’t important, Wei Ming. I’m here to ask you: do you remember the Chemical Plant explosion case from three years ago?” Tang Chen spoke coldly, word by word. In his eyes, if Wei Ming dared to lie even once, he would end up dead!
