Chapter 215: Then Shoot Yourself, We’re Reporting You!

Wei Ming was stunned. His first reaction was to deny it quickly. He said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. You still haven’t told me who you are.”

Tang Chen shook his head and sighed. He said, “What a pity, Wei Ming. I had decided to spare your worthless life, but now it seems your dog life can’t be saved.”

Whoosh!

Tang Chen moved swiftly, darting right in front of Wei Ming. Before Wei Ming could react, Tang Chen punched him in the abdomen, then grabbed his head and slammed it against his knee.

Bang!

Wei Ming’s face was covered in blood as he stumbled backward, panicking and screaming, “Don’t kill me! Who are you? Why are you coming after me?”

Tang Chen said coldly, “Wei Ming, it’s often said that Heaven has eyes. It can tell who is evil and who is good. Good people will live peaceful lives, but those who commit sins, even if they weren’t exposed at first, can’t escape death later. Three years ago, in the chemical plant explosion case, you heartlessly helped Huang Zongze cover up the truth. You turned a self-orchestrated explosion into one caused by employee negligence, which killed four firefighters. Wei Ming, before your conscience was eaten by dogs, did you ever think about the consequences of doing such a thing? Aren’t you afraid those four wronged firefighters would come to haunt you?”

Hearing Tang Chen’s words, Wei Ming finally understood. So he was here because of what happened three years ago—he was here to claim his life!

Three years ago, blinded by greed, when Huang Zongze approached him, he inexplicably accepted that two hundred thousand! He never imagined that something that seemed so perfect back then would come to light today!

It seemed Huang Zongze had already been punished. Was he next? Was he going to die?

“I beg you, don’t kill me. I can give you money, as much as you want. Please don’t kill me, I’m begging you!”

Wei Ming crawled like a dog to Tang Chen’s feet, grabbing his shoes and begging. At his age and position, his desire to live was incredibly strong. He didn’t want to die—death meant losing everything!

“Do you think I’m like you?!” Tang Chen spoke coldly, his gaze showing no trace of pity. “Before you did such a thing, you should have considered the price you might pay! The wheel of justice turns, and retribution is inevitable. You, and Zhang Guangnian too—you all must die!”

“No, I won’t die! I won’t die!” Feeling as if he’d been sentenced to death, Wei Ming’s will to survive gave him a sudden burst of strength. He threw a punch at Tang Chen.

“Go to hell!” Tang Chen was determined to kill him today. He grabbed Wei Ming’s fist, twisted it hard, and broke his arm. Then he kicked Wei Ming fiercely in the chest, sending him flying backward into the wall with a loud bang.

Bang!

Tang Chen rushed over at incredible speed and punched him in the chest with full force. The blow shattered all of Wei Ming’s internal organs. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his head twisted, and he died instantly.

“And you, the main culprit, must die too!” Tang Chen walked coldly toward Huang Zongze, raised his foot, and stomped on his head. With a sickening squelch, Huang Zongze’s head exploded like a watermelon, splattering red and white matter everywhere…

“Um, respected Host, you really didn’t need to be so graphic. You’re corrupting underage fans,” the System said with some discomfort. The Host was becoming more and more violent—he had just crushed Huang Zongze’s head with one stomp.

Tang Chen fell silent for a moment, then said gloomily, “System, this is what we humans often call retribution. If they hadn’t done such a thing three years ago, I wouldn’t be eliminating a scourge for the people today. More importantly, this is my indirect tribute to those four heroes.”

The System asked again, “Respected Host, how do you plan to punish Zhang Guangnian? He’s a mayor, you know. If you kill him, it’ll be like declaring war on the entire government.”

Tang Chen said calmly, “I won’t kill that scumbag Zhang Guangnian directly. I want him to kneel before the firefighters’ portraits and apologize. Besides, the official circles in our Z City have been too chaotic lately. It’s time for a change.”

The System felt a chill. The Host must be really furious if he was planning to meddle in official matters. Oh well, if he wanted to make a big scene, it would just have to go along with it.

Afterward, Tang Chen went straight home to sleep. With Yang Mi not at home, the night felt quite lonely. Luckily, he ended up talking with Yang Mi on the phone for over two hours; otherwise, he wouldn’t have known what to do with himself that night.

At 8:10, Tang Chen came downstairs and turned on the TV to watch the news. Channel One was broadcasting a live report. A young, beautiful journalist said sorrowfully, “Dear viewers, two horrifying cases occurred in our city last night. Bureau Chief Wei Ming of the Municipal Fire Department was violently killed at home. Another middle-aged man was also killed, his head crushed into a unrecognizable state. The police are currently investigating the identities of the deceased. These acts have severely impacted the social stability and harmony of our city…”

Click!

Tang Chen turned off the TV directly and cursed irritably, “Disrupt stability and harmony, my ass! I’m doing good deeds without seeking fame, you idiots. Looking at the time, Sister Fang and the others should have arrived at the city government. I should get moving too.”

Thinking this, he casually threw on some clothes and went out.

Outside the solemn city government building, a large crowd knelt on the ground. The four people at the front held portraits, their expressions solemn and grief-stricken. These four were the family representatives of the firefighters, led by Fang Qian. The others were worker representatives.

A crowd had gathered nearby, pointing and discussing: “Hey, what’s going on now? Why are they kneeling in front of the city government?”

“Who knows? Don’t you see they’re holding portraits? Probably seeking justice for a wrongful death.”

“Sigh, our city really hasn’t been peaceful lately. Last time, there was a protest at the police station at night, and now this.”

“Stop talking, the journalists are here.”

Two news vans pulled up quickly, and the journalists, having gotten wind of the situation, rushed over and began asking questions all at once.

“Hello, I’m a journalist from Nan Yang Evening News. May I ask what happened here?”

“Hello, may I ask why so many of you are gathered in front of the city government? Do you have something to report?”

“Hello…”

Fang Qian stubbornly lifted her head and said clearly, “Don’t ask anymore. We want to see the mayor. When the mayor comes, everything will be clear.”

“The mayor and his team are here!” someone shouted. A business vehicle drove up.

The mayor, dressed impeccably, stepped out accompanied by his Secretary. As soon as he got out of the car, he froze. What was with this crowd? Why were there journalists, and why were people kneeling here?

“Mayor! You’re here!” The journalists quickly swarmed over, but bodyguards immediately blocked them from getting too close. They couldn’t allow anyone to approach the mayor suddenly—what if something happened?

Zhang Guangnan smiled and gestured that it was fine. He said to one journalist, “Friends from the press, could you tell me what’s going on? Why are all of you gathered here?”

The journalist quickly replied, “Mayor, it’s not us gathering here—it’s them kneeling here. They said they have something to discuss with you. You should go take a look.”

Zhang Guangnan was taken aback. Looking for him? What for? With that thought, he walked over to Fang Qian and the others. When he saw them, he thought, Oh my god, why are there portraits? What do these women want?

“Hello, I am the mayor. Did you need to see me about something?” Zhang Guangnan was extremely puzzled but still asked. As a mayor, he had seen all kinds of storms. If he got scared by something like this, it would be beneath his stature.

Fang Qian looked at him, then stood up and said coldly, “Mayor, we want to report someone. He committed beastly acts, deceived both superiors and subordinates, covered up the truth, and let the criminals roam free. Tell us, shouldn’t such a person be shot?”

Zhang Guangnan thought, so that’s what it was. He immediately straightened up and said seriously, “This female comrade, please tell us who did such a thing. Our city government will definitely handle it.”

Fang Qian snorted coldly, pointed her finger at Zhang Guangnan, and said loudly, “Then shoot yourself quickly! We’re reporting you!”
