The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 479: Take Action!

Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Take Action!

"Hey, cousin, what are you worried about?"

"You still don’t understand Xu Qianli? He’s got a fiery temper, easily ignited. If he ever finds out that we set him up, do you think he could hold off from exploding at us for so long?"

"I think you’re just being too cautious."

"Anyway, I’ve got that leopard in the bag!"

Lin Feng didn’t care less about Xu Qianli. Just because he was afraid of his revenge, he kept a low profile for half a month. Did he really need to continue being low-profile?

Who was he, Lin Feng, anyway? The proud heir of the Lin Family. If he were afraid of a minor character like Xu Qianli, how could he face anyone?

Besides, it’s just going for some wild game, not murder or arson. What’s the big deal?

He, Lin Feng, had that leopard down!

Lin Monong said, "You have to be careful anyway. I think it’s been too quiet these past two weeks. Maybe Xu Qianli is just biding his time for a big move. Listen to my advice and don’t go for that leopard. Better safe than sorry."

"Sis, you’re really scared by Xu Qianli."

"Let’s face it, that guy is just a Deputy County Magistrate. In our eyes, he’s nothing. Why should we keep guarding against him?"

"You should come with me to Wild Game Villa and eat some leopard, boost your courage."

Lin Feng was determined, and no amount of persuasion from Lin Monong could change his mind.

It wasn’t even time to get off work, but he insisted on taking Lin Monong to Wild Game Villa, calling several colleagues who were on good terms with him to enjoy the feast together.

The presence of honored guests naturally meant a warm welcome by the owner, Li Fang.

Learning that the leopard had only injured its leg and was still alive, Lin Feng was thrilled and immediately took everyone to see it, indeed finding a leopard in the cage.

Despite its injury, it still looked fierce and bared its teeth at him.

Seeing the leopard, Lin Feng suddenly thought of Xu Qianli, rage immediately surging to his head, and he ordered the owner to slaughter the leopard right away!

The owner quickly grabbed a high-voltage electric prod, applied it to the cage, and the leopard was soon stunned.

After, the kitchen staff swiftly opened the cage, dragged out the leopard, slashed it to bleed it, and hung it on a rack to begin skinning.

Lin Monong found it too cruel and didn’t want to watch anymore, so she went elsewhere.

Lin Feng watched with great interest, truly enjoying it, only regretting that it was just a leopard. How great it would have been if they could hang Xu Qianli on the rack instead!

Soon, Lin Feng realized something was off about himself; why was he always thinking about Xu Qianli? It seemed he was becoming obsessed.

Soon, he figured it out.

Who was he, Lin Feng? The esteemed heir of the Lin Family in Beijing, groomed from a young age as the successor, always treated like royalty, infinitely esteemed wherever he went, with countless people fawning over and flattering him, some even kowtowing.

His life had always been smooth sailing, never facing any obstacles.

At Lan Qianrong’s invitation, he came to Jiang City and stepped onto the official ladder as the Deputy Town Chief of Qingshan Town. He thought he could easily crush Xu Qianli, take the achievements of Qingshan Town for himself, and continually climb up in his career.

But things went unexpectedly awry, much to his surprise.

In his confrontations with Xu Qianli, he kept losing, not only failing to kick Xu Qianli out, but ending up disheveled because of him.

It was precisely because of this that he had always harbored resentment towards Xu Qianli, occasionally reminded of him.

Frankly, Xu Qianli’s existence had hindered his interests and made him taste defeat.

To solve the current situation, there was only one way—that was to completely deal with Xu Qianli!

Lin Feng made up his mind, by any means necessary, he had to bring Xu Qianli down!

He even didn’t hesitate to use some rough tactics, just like dealing with this leopard, to take care of Xu Qianli.

Thinking about such a method, Lin Feng pondered whom to find for the task. It wouldn’t be easy in Jiang City, and he couldn’t mess around in Beijing. Once he mobilized the Lin Family’s forces, he would definitely not escape his grandfather’s discerning eyes—the old patriarch of the Lin family. What good would come to him if the old man thundered in rage?

Quickly, Lin Feng set his sights on Zhongzhou City, where there might be the manpower he needed.

As long as he could afford to pay, why fear not finding desperadoes?

On the other hand, Lin Monong came to the backyard of Wild Game Villa, strolling nonchalantly and admiring the scenery.

Recently, because of the affairs regarding Xu Qianli, she was also agitated.

Before coming to Jiang City, she didn’t take Xu Qianli seriously either; however, after a few encounters, she had to reassess Xu Qianli as an opponent.

She admitted that she had underestimated him before but would never admit she was inferior to Xu Qianli. Sooner or later, she would trample Xu Qianli underfoot!

While scheming how to deal with Xu Qianli in the future, she suddenly noticed something odd. On the side wall of the villa, there seemed to be a head.

Lin Monong only saw it from the corner of her eye. When she looked over to see clearly, the head had already withdrawn and disappeared.

Although it was only for a moment, Lin Monong was sure she hadn’t been mistaken; there really had been someone outside the wall peeking in.

Instinctively alarmed, Lin Monong hurriedly found Lin Feng, urging him to leave quickly, but Lin Feng was adamant and refused.

Outside Wild Game Villa in the woods, several vehicles were hidden.

One of them was Xu Qianli’s car; in the other three vehicles, there sat a journalistic team from the provincial station.

The popular female host Su Lei from the provincial station was inside the vehicle.

This shooting had been initiated by Xu Qianli, arranging for Zi Yumo to connect with Su Lei and bring her team over.

Upon hearing there was sensational news at Qingshan Town, Su Lei, seeing the huge scoop, immediately agreed.

They had been waiting inside the woods for quite some time now, and Su Lei was becoming impatient, running to find Xu Qianli, "Vice County Magistrate Xu, we’ve been waiting for quite some time now, how much longer do we need to wait?"

Xu Qianli said, "Soon, the time is almost here. I assure you the wait will definitely be worth it. Today’s news will make sure your province’s station’s ratings skyrocket."

As Xu Qianli spoke, his phone rang. He took it out and saw a message from the person he had arranged to tail someone; the time had come.

"Alright, you can move out now!"

"Remember, you must catch them red-handed!" Xu Qianli said.

Su Lei, already impatient, heard they could move out and immediately acted, leading her team straight towards Wild Game Villa.

Inside Wild Game Villa, the leopard had been cooked, fried, stewed, simmered, exploded in a stir, and braised, each part treated in different culinary methods.

Once Lin Feng and others were seated, course after course of luxurious dishes quickly arrived at the table, providing a full leopard banquet along with several other kinds of precious game dishes, and a variety of fine wines were brought over as well.

Lin Feng was completely unreserved, indulging in a feast with a group of people, eating joyously and exclaiming how satisfying it was.

At that moment, the door of the private room suddenly opened, and a group of people forcefully barged in, aiming their cameras at the interior and started snapping away incessantly.
