Chapter 1763 pales in comparison

At this time, the members of the Hong family felt that they were ten times more confident than before. They wanted to look down on others and let everyone know that Hong Village had truly risen.

The attitude of the village chief Hong Chengli was very humble. He greeted everyone with a smile and pretended to be nice to them.

In particular, he invited Chen Zixing and Hai Changchun to a reception room to drink tea, chat and ask about their purpose of visit.

Chen Zixing said, "Chairman Hai, you actually have time to personally visit Hongcun? If I had known this, I would have asked my staff to prepare more questions about economic development and consult you in person."

Hai Changchun smiled and said, "Secretary Chen, if you have any instructions, just tell me directly. Our Sino-Ocean International Group is a local enterprise in Jiangtou City. It is our duty and responsibility to contribute to our hometown."

Chen Zixing laughed loudly: "Okay, with Chairman Hai's words, I feel relieved. Village Chief Hong, please be a witness for me, so that Chairman Hai won't regret it."

Hai Changchun also smiled and said, "Okay, Village Chief Hong, help me be a witness. I, Hai Changchun, have always been enthusiastic about Jiangtou City. In the future, if Village Chief Hong and Hong Village need any help from me, you can also say hello to me. I still say that it is my duty and obligation!"

Hong Chengli smiled on the surface but cursed in his heart. These two people were rude to him at first but respectful later. They only came to Hongcun and tried to get close to him for the sake of the Xie family.

Yesterday, he was taken away by Liu Fusheng and then released quickly. It was obvious that it was the Xie family that made Liu Fusheng bow his head.

Now these local tyrants all want to climb up to the top of the Xie family through him.

Currently in Chaojiang area, the only family that can be related to the Xie family is the Zhao family in Jiyang City.

However, the Zhao family has always been low-key, indifferent to worldly affairs, not caring about anything, and not participating in anything. Therefore, Hong Chengli, who has emerged as a rising star, has become the best paving stone for them.

The closer Hai Changchun, Chen Zixing and others were to Hong Chengli, the colder he felt, because he knew very well that it was Liu Fusheng, not him, who had climbed up the ladder of the Xie family.

Hong Chengli's wish is to help Liu Fusheng do his best so that the other party will spare his life and leave a way for the Hong family to survive. Then he will be satisfied.

The thoughts in his mind did not hinder Hong Chengli from performing according to the situation.

He filled his glass of Kung Fu tea and said to Hai Changchun with a smile, "Chairman Hai, I really have something here and I need your help."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Hai Changchun asked puzzledly.

Hong Chengli said: "Some time ago, a young man named Hong Haotian in Hong Village was forced to hang himself because of the Ministry of Public Security's special case team. This incident caused a great impact in Hong Village. Many people in the tribe felt that his death was not worth it."

"Before his death, Hong Haotian came to me and confessed his true feelings. He said that he had to die, otherwise it would bring great trouble to the family. I asked him what he had done, and he said that he took the two boats of his family and transported a batch of goods with Chairman Hai's people... I want to ask Chairman Hai, is this true?"

"Hong Haoyu? Transporting a batch of goods?"

Hai Changchun frowned slightly, as if thinking about this matter.

After a moment, he said carefully: "Village Chief Hong, I'll make a phone call and ask."

After that, he called his assistant in front of Hong Chengli and Chen Zixing: "Check for me, have we cooperated with anyone from Hongcun recently? The other party is called Hong Haotian."

After two or three minutes, the assistant called back. After Hai Changchun answered the phone, he said to Hong Chengli, "Village Chief Hong, I asked, and there is no such thing. Our Ocean International Group has its own transportation team. Occasionally, we ask outsiders to transport things, and we will also record it in the book for easy reference at any time. Ocean International Group has not cooperated with Hong Haotian recently."

Hong Chengli sighed, "This Hong Haotian never told me the truth until his death! Forget it, death is the greatest thing, I won't hold him responsible... Thank you Chairman Hai for helping me solve my doubts. It's just a small matter, and I'm sorry to bother you to call me specially!"

Hai Changchun smiled slightly: "Village Chief Hong is too polite."

Judging from his expression, he indeed felt that what Hong Chengli was talking about was just a trivial matter.

Hong Chengli changed the subject and asked Chen Zixing: "Secretary Chen, the Jiangtou City police have deployed seven or eight police officers at the entrance of our village, at the entrance of the Hong Clan Ancestral Hall, and at Hong Haotian's home. What's going on? If you don't know, you might think Hong Village is a criminal den. Can you take care of this matter?"

Chen Zixing smiled bitterly and said, "Village Chief Hong, to be honest, I discovered this situation when I entered the village just now, and I even called the Municipal Bureau to ask them why they came to Hong Village. Hong Village is a civilized village in Jiangtou City. How could they act so recklessly?"

Hong Chengli said expectantly, "And then? Is the matter resolved?"

Chen Zixing sighed, "The reply from the Municipal Bureau was that this was an order issued by the special task force of the Ministry of Public Security. A few days ago, our Chaojiang Three Cities held an internal meeting. The new Municipal Party Committee Secretary Liu Fusheng and I, Lao Gu, and Lao Zhao reached an agreement that all law enforcement and judicial police forces in Chaojiang Three Cities would be under the unified command of Liu Fusheng."

"The reason he gave was to do his best to solve the arson case in Jiangtou City as soon as possible. Therefore, I have now lost the jurisdiction of the Municipal Bureau."

Hong Chengli frowned and said, "According to Secretary Chen, these police officers are considered to be living in Hong Village?"

Chen Zixing said, "Alas, I really can't do anything about this. If I forcibly intervene and break the agreement with Liu Fusheng, then he will probably tear up his previous promise and interfere in the government affairs of the three cities of Chaojiang. In that case, it will be a complete mess. Moreover, if the arson case in Jiangtou City cannot be solved, he can also put the blame on us, saying that we are pretending to obey but secretly disobeying and ignoring the overall situation..."

"If the state investigates, he has connections in Yanjing, and it's me and Lao Gu who will suffer."

Hong Chengli sighed, "What should I do then?"

Chen Zixing said: "I think the only one who can help at the moment is the Xie family."

Hong Chengli shook his head and said, "Secretary Chen, please stop kidding me. Why would I bother the Xie family with such a small matter? When something big happens in the future, will I still have the nerve to speak up?"

Chen Zixing said, "That makes sense. I didn't think it through. Sorry, sorry. How about we just be patient? After all, they are just some police officers stationed and patrolling in the village. It shouldn't have any impact on your business in Hong Village. On the contrary, it will improve public security. Let them stay."

Hong Chengli said helplessly: "Well, what Secretary Chen said does make sense."

Hai Changchun, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "This Liu Fusheng doesn't seem to be a simple person."

Chen Zixing waved his hand: "Whether it's simple or not depends on who you compare it with. Liu Fusheng can bully me and Lao Gu, honest people without backers, but when compared with Village Chief Hong, he pales in comparison."
