Chapter 1389: Chapter 1388: Explanation

Wang Li said with some helplessness on his face: "Let’s discuss the matter regarding the special action group later; it needs approval from the village. For now, let’s talk about how to handle this issue. We definitely can’t suppress it; people from the mansion will definitely come to investigate."

"The mansion, huh? What’s the big deal? Even if the Boss comes, I can make him do things my way. What’s he gonna do to me?" Jiang Cheng said indifferently.

After hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, Liu Jianxin and the others were startled: "What do you mean? Tell us, what do you think people care about now?" Jiang Cheng asked them. "Star Society?"

Jiang Cheng snapped his fingers: "You’re half right, they’re ordinary people. Based on my observations over the past few days, the law enforcement there is notoriously bad, and the degree of chaos is quite evident. The common people don’t have a clear understanding of our team. I’m sure you know this better than I do."

Wang Li and Liu Jianxin were at a loss for words. This statement hit their sore spot, and what Jiang Cheng said was indeed the truth.

The public security in Gui Village is indeed as Jiang Cheng described, atrociously poor. It’s not because they are incapable of managing it or unwilling; it’s simply impossible due to the immense resistance they’re facing in this regard.

Jiang Cheng glanced at them and continued: "Our mansion is here to serve people. As long as what we do benefits the common people, makes them happy, then what we’re doing is right. Even if the federation has opinions, they can’t say anything."

Just then, Jiang Cheng’s phone rang: "Boss Jiang! What have you done! Defeating three ordinary people at the gate! Do you know what you’re doing? Do you know how sinister this incident is?"

Uh, who are you? Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow, wondering who this crazy person was... "I’m Tian Gaoluo." After a moment of silence, Tian Gaoluo’s furious shouts came from the other end.

"Oh, Village Chief Tian, you’re saying the people I took down are ordinary people? Since when could forces be called ordinary people?" Jiang Cheng asked with a cold laugh while activating the recording function on his wristband.

"Hmph, I told you they’re criminal forces! I tell you, you’d better release Tian Wei immediately and wait for someone from the organization to come investigate you!"

Jiang Cheng’s cold smile grew wider, making Wang Li and Liu Jianxin very uncomfortable.

"Village Chief Tian, I can’t release him. I reckon I won’t be able to release him for the rest of my life. I’ve already filed this case, registered on the district’s security network. If you insist on releasing him, I guess you’d have to come in person for something like signing a document. As for investigating me, I have a clear conscience, go ahead and bring it on. But let me tell you beforehand, I’m not providing meals."

"Bam!" After hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, Tian Gaoluo flew into a rage and hung up the phone. Jiang Cheng’s stubborn refusal left him unsure of what to do. Should he really go sign the document to demand him? That might mean the end of his role as Village Chief.

After the call, Jiang Cheng mentally added Tian Gaoluo to his blacklist for this mission’s targets, which apparently included Village Chief Tian. But for now, Jiang Cheng had another task to accomplish.

Jiang Cheng made a call to Li Shengli, and soon Li Shengli’s booming voice came through the line: "Haha, Jiang the Kid, what brings you calling me? How’s the mission going?"

"I’m calling you about the mission. I have a video here that I’ll send to you later. I hope your team can forward it to the publicity department. I want it to be aired on TV by tonight."

"What’s going on?"

Jiang Cheng narrated the situation here, "That’s basically the gist of the matter. So this issue requires your intervention."

"You really know how to stir up trouble, don’t you? Why did I send you, such a troublemaker, on this mission? Fine, I’ll personally arrange for this later."

After hanging up, he noticed that Wang Li and Liu Jianxin’s expressions had changed. Jiang Cheng didn’t hide this phone call from them, so they heard a rough outline. It seemed Jiang Cheng had significant connections provincially or even higher up. This Boss Jiang really wasn’t simple after all.

Zhai Mansion.

After hanging up with Jiang Cheng, Tian Gaoluo received a notice for a village meeting, so he arrived at the conference room, full of rage. By the time he got there, most of the elder members had arrived, and the deputy chiefs were all present.

Chen Bai waved at Tian Gaoluo, "Old Tian is here too, take a seat, we’ve been waiting for you." Tian Gaoluo quickly sat down. Seeing that everyone was present, Chen Bai cleared his throat and began today’s meeting: "Let’s keep it short, today’s meeting is about handling the mansion incident. I believe you’re all aware of it, let’s discuss how we should deal with it."

Tian Gaoluo was the first to speak: "Such a vile incident is not merely a simple conflict; this is a heinous crime. I believe it demands severe punishment!"

After Tian Gaoluo spoke, he glanced at the other senior members, but surprisingly, no one echoed his sentiment. Everyone maintained silence. Tian Gaoluo was somewhat anxious and kept signaling the organizational minister Chen Wenguang across from him.

Receiving Tian Gaoluo’s cue, Chen Wenguang straightened up and said: "I believe this matter’s impact is too significant; we should report it and follow their arrangements."

Zhai Chief Li Tao nodded: "Indeed, Jiang Cheng, as the head of the mansion, enforced the law in such a manner is simply reckless. I believe we should suspend Jiang Cheng pending investigation before the mansion makes any decisions."

It’s safe to say that those present didn’t know Jiang Cheng very well, having only seen pictures at most. Li Tao and Tian Gaoluo were on the same page for straightforward reasons: Li Tao believed the mansion chief position should have been his. Normally, the political and law secretary would also serve as the mansion chief, but due to special circumstances, he never got the position. Three successive chiefs have come and gone, yet still haven’t gotten around to him, which really stoked his anger. This time it’s even more outrageous, parachuting in such a young person with no background, it’s hard for him to accept.

Planning Secretary Ji Wei glanced at Tian Gaoluo, a hint of inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes, and said: "I think this matter must definitely be disclosed to the public and Jiang Cheng must be severely punished to give the public an explanation."

As the senior members debated intensely on how to handle Jiang Cheng, a forty-something woman sat unobtrusively. Her name is Feng Jia, the only woman among the senior members, very attractive with an oval face and curly hair. There are many rumors about her, the most widespread being her improper relationship with a certain big shot.

Feng Jia was fiddling with her hands when she suddenly heard Ji Wei speak, and with some disagreement, remarked: "To publicly announce this matter without investigating thoroughly, isn’t that a bit rash? If mistakes are made, who’s going to take responsibility?"
