Chapter 428: Chapter 428: The Mysterious Organization Qingshan Association!

Zhang Guangxian?

Xu Qianli was extremely unfamiliar with this name.

Not only had he never had any issues with him, he hadn’t even heard the name before.

Moreover, this name wasn’t on the previous list of over twenty major bosses who had divided up the natural resources of Qingshan Town.

Since he was a big boss from the city, Sister Wen certainly should have some understanding. Without hesitation, Xu Qianli made a call to Sister Wen for information.

Sister Wen informed him that Zhang Guangxian was indeed a big boss in the city, but his identity was a bit special.

This man had at least several billion in assets, a definite tycoon, yet he acted with extreme discretion, never attending any business gatherings or charity auctions, seldom appearing in public—he was what one might call an invisible rich man.

Though he kept a low profile, his business ventures were extensive, with more than ten companies under his control, all managed through foundations.

He not only had a place in the business world but also wielded great influence in the Underworld, keeping a crew of ruthless characters under his command.

There had always been a rumor about Zhang Guangxian in the streets: the reason he rose to prominence was due to joining a mysterious organization that supported him.

Or rather, he was a dog kept by that mysterious organization.

Sister Wen didn’t know which specific organization Zhang Guangxian had joined, but from what she understood, in recent years, an organization called the Qingshan Association had been very active in Zhongzhou City.

The Qingshan Association had quite a significant presence; no one knew who specifically ran it, but word had it they were highly influential.

Those who joined the Qingshan Association underwent strict screening, all either wealthy or noble, each one wielding a degree of power.

The exact objectives of the Qingshan Association were unclear, but it certainly was no mere business association. Sister Wen knew that their methods were discreet yet fierce, readily eliminating any existence that threatened the Association.

Zhang Guangxian might be one of the Qingshan Association’s members.

This was the first time Xu Qianli had heard the term "Qingshan Association," and he subconsciously associated it with Qingshan Town. Could it be that this organization was related to Qingshan Town?

Unfortunately, this was mere speculation. Xu Qianli implored Sister Wen to locate Zhang Guangxian at any cost and capture him alive.

As long as they could catch him, many matters could be thoroughly investigated.

After the call ended, Xu Qianli entrusted the capture of Zhang Guangxian to Sister Wen.

He himself was not idle either, busy catching the henchmen of Si Cheng and Zhang Guangxian, pacifying the villagers, and gradually calming the situation down.

Upon learning they had been exploited and confirming that the compensation funds had been sent to the village accounts, but intercepted by their respective secretaries and village chiefs, they mistakenly blamed Xu Qianli and the townsfolk, but eventually they all dispersed.

Xu Qianli had Zhang Tao lead a team to urgently interrogate the henchmen of Si Cheng and Zhang Guangxian, but unfortunately, they didn’t learn much.

These people had been hired by orders from Zhang Guangxian, mere mercenaries doing the job for money, and apart from giving up Zhang Guangxian’s name, they had no other specific information.

Unable to make a breakthrough with these men, Xu Qianli could only hope for good news from Sister Wen’s end.

After waiting and waiting, he finally received a call from Sister Wen, who said they had found the man.

After employing numerous resources to search, they finally found Zhang Guangxian, but unfortunately, he was already dead.

A fire broke out at an entertainment club in the city. After the firefighters extinguished the blaze, they found three bodies, one of which was a male corpse not entirely burned. As it lay on the ground, there was a patch of uncharred skin on its back with a tattoo that belonged to Zhang Guangxian.

Although they could not be one hundred percent certain it was him, they were essentially sure it was Zhang Guangxian.

Xu Qianli only then realized that the boss who Li Xiuhong said on the phone had been killed was actually Zhang Guangxian!

Upon learning of Zhang Guangxian’s death, Xu Qianli felt a cold chill envelop her entire body.

On the surface, Zhang Guangxian had not participated in the plan to divvy up the natural resource development of Qingshan Town, but in reality, he controlled many companies participating in it through a foundation.

After her plans had thwarted his, he had astoundingly made his move, resorting to such ruthless measures in hopes of bankrupting the tourism development project of Qingshan Town and even to eliminate her.

At this critical moment, the man died, clearly because something had gone awry in the scheme, and someone had silenced him.

Could it be that he had really joined that so-called Qingshan Association?

If it was true, the power of the Qingshan Association was indeed terrifying.

Si Cheng didn’t have any useful information, and with Zhang Guangxian being silenced, Xu Qianli suddenly thought of someone, Zeng Yong.

Today, a major incident had occurred in Qingshan Town, and she had ordered Wu Kai to rush a team to their aid, but Zeng Yong had stopped them and even detained Wu Kai in confinement.

That matter was exceedingly baffling.

It was worth mentioning that Zeng Yong was someone she had asked Ge Changhong to promote; she had shown him favor, and yet he had treated her this way at such a time—it was obviously odd, utterly unreasonable.

That guy, he definitely had a problem!

Xu Qianli, accompanied by her bodyguards and calling on the Jinkou County special police, headed straight for Jiang City County, making a beeline for the County Public Security Bureau.

After Xu Qianli and her troops had departed, in a room in the government complex building, Lin Monong watched Xu Qianli lead the team away and turned to Lin Feng beside her, "What do you make of today’s incident?"

Lin Monong had seen everything that happened today with her own eyes. She had not expected Xu Qianli to handle the situation so smoothly; it was beyond her expectations.

To think she dared to call in police forces from neighboring Jinkou County to control the scene; Xu Qianli proved to be quite capable.

Lin Feng said, "If Xu Qianli were truly capable, today’s incident wouldn’t have happened. In my view, she just got lucky today, having the police forces from Jinkou County come over. Otherwise, she would have been dead for sure. Who exactly made the move, I do not know, but any clear-sighted person can see that it was aimed at dealing Xu Qianli a deadly blow. It’s just too bad they didn’t manage to get rid of her, truly a pity."

Lin Feng sighed.

With such a big commotion today, so many forces had come, how wonderful it would have been if Xu Qianli had been killed.

Sadly, it was all thunder and no rain; all those people were somehow handled by Xu Qianli, which was really infuriating.

Lin Monong said, "You think Xu Qianli got off so easily today just by good luck? Ask yourself, faced with such a situation, could you have resolved it that easily?"

Lin Feng was actually stumped by the question. If he had been in the situation without any preparation, he probably would have had a tough time.

The timely arrival of Jinkou County’s police force was clearly because Xu Qianli had made arrangements to mobilize troops in advance, which is how she managed to stabilize the situation.

Although he didn’t like Xu Qianli, he had to admit, she indeed had some skills.

Seeing Lin Feng stay silent, Lin Monong said, "Xu Qianli really is impressive, but even if she is, it’s no use now, without Ge Changhong’s backing, she’s just a toothless tiger. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have failed to call in the police forces from Jiang City for support. Just wait, I will soon help you crush her under your foot!"

Lin Feng’s eyes lit up, speaking eagerly, "Cousin, have you already thought of a way to deal with her?"

"Indeed, I have thought of a way to deal with her," Lin Monong clapped her hands, "Come out."
