The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 561: Total Victory!

Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Total Victory!

Zhao Mei and Zhang Dongyang both left with their tails between their legs.

In the banquet hall, the video had already ended, and the room was dead silent.

Many eyes fell on Xu Qianli, who was now regarded with a new sense of awe.

When it came to ruthlessness, Zhang Dongyang was truly vicious, leveraging his connections in the city to strike at Lan Qianrong as soon as he arrived in Jiang City, trying to suppress her.

But even more ruthless was Xu Qianli; he was incredibly powerful, pulling the rug out from under Zhang Dongyang’s feet and leaving him with no choice but to slink away, utterly defeated.

What a fierce man, this guy was too formidable; Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao had truly signed their own death warrants by offending him.

Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao both had faces uglier than the other, covered in dust and ash.

They had thought they would be climbing the ranks, but instead, they had been cast into the abyss.

Unable to stand it any longer, Zeng Changyun stumbled and fell to the ground.

Ding Biao looked eagerly at Xu Qianli and forcefully slapped himself across the face.

"Vice County Magistrate Xu, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I shouldn’t have offended you."

"Please don’t hold a grudge, spare me this once, I beg you to show mercy, spare me this once."

"As long as you let me off the hook, I will absolutely never cross you again, I can swear it to heaven..."

Ding Biao pleaded desperately with Xu Qianli to let him off the hook.

He was truly scared of Xu Qianli now.

Back when Xu Qianli was the secretary to the old County Magistrate, he did not show off, and everyone, including Ding Biao, thought that Xu Qianli had simply lucked out when the old County Magistrate took a liking to him and promoted him, essentially being a nobody.

But to everyone’s great surprise, he turned out to be so formidable. After the old County Magistrate passed away, Xu gradually took down people like Zhang Kuisan and didn’t even give face to Mayor Lu Xingtian. There were even rumors that Secretary Zou had been taken care of by him.

Previously, when Fu Guotai from Cailin County transferred over, Xu kicked him to the curb with one blow.

Today was even more ruthless; to deal with Zhang Dongyang and attack his public image, he directly revealed the video, ruining both him and Zeng Changyun.

Ding Biao was truly scared, completely terrified of Xu Qianli now.

If he had known this day would come, he wouldn’t have dared to provoke Xu Qianli at all.

Fortunately, he hadn’t completely burned bridges with Xu Qianli in the past; perhaps now, his plea for mercy might leave him a sliver of hope.

Zeng Changyun gave a bitter smile and spoke.

"Ding Biao, stop begging for mercy. At this crucial point, do you think he would let us off?"

"Even if he did, the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee wouldn’t let us off!"

"It’s over, we’re finished, our career paths are completely ruined."

"But I don’t understand, Xu Qianli, you weren’t getting along with County Magistrate Lan all along so why didn’t you use our dirty laundry to strike at County Magistrate Lan before?"

Zeng Changyun just couldn’t comprehend; he had offended Xu Qianli a long time ago and they were sworn enemies.

Ever since he set up the scheme three months ago, tricking Xu Qianli into sleeping with his own wife, He Lili, to trap Xu Qianli, their conflict had become irreconcilable.

Moreover, Xu Qianli had a grudge with Lan Qianrong, and since he used to be Lan Qianrong’s confidant, why then did Xu Qianli, holding his dirt, wait until now?

Xu Qianli said, "Vice County Magistrate Zeng, you’re joking. County Magistrate Lan is my leader. Although we may have some differing opinions in our work, they are purely work-related and not personal. Why would I want to attack her? As for your ’dirt,’ I just got it too. You’re probably unaware that it was all taken by Zhang Kuisan, with the purpose of holding it over your heads."

"So it was that damn Zhang Kuisan!"

Zeng Changyun’s anger flared up instantly. Zhang Kuisan, you bastard, you’ve harmed so many people.

I am inept, yet I was dragged by you to hot spring clubs to be around women, to look but not touch. I was already unhappy, then you had to film me, putting me in the situation I’m in now. You truly deserve to die!

Ding Biao was even more enraged.

He had followed Zhang Kuisan for a long time, close enough to share the same pair of pants, yet he never expected Zhang Kuisan would secretly plot against him. Detestable, truly detestable!

Xu Qianli said, "You two shouldn’t be too angry. Maybe you’ll get to see him soon and settle your accounts then. With his physique, I doubt he could take you two. Then it’ll be time to let vengeance be served."

When Xu Qianli said this, Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao both felt a shock through their hearts. The terror of the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee was not something they could simply shake off.

Zhang Xue, grinning, edged closer to Xu Qianli. "You’re something, Xu Qianli. I’d heard you were formidable, but I never imagined you’d be this fierce."

Seeing Zhang Xue so close to Xu Qianli, Zeng Changyun’s eyes brightened, and he quickly accused, "Don’t get too smug, Xu Qianli. You’ve spilled my secrets, don’t you have any of your own? I won’t mention anything else, but I have serious doubts about your relationship with this policewoman. I suspect it’s not appropriate!"

Xu Qianli replied, "You can eat food indiscriminately, but words must not be recklessly spoken. You’re saying I’m nothing, casting aspersions at me is one thing, but to slander her, that makes it a big deal. You’d better pray for your own fortune!"

Zeng Changyun was completely confused. What was all this? Why was Xu Qianli looking at him like he was looking at a dead dog? Was that really necessary?

Could it be that the policewoman’s identity was not simple?

She’s just a policewoman, how powerful could she be?

Zhang Xue’s face had already darkened, and she swiftly charged toward Zeng Changyun, letting fly with a kick.

"You bastard, you could have said anything else, but you had to tarnish my reputation!"

"Do I, Zhang Xue, have such poor taste that I’d fancy someone like Xu Qianli?"

"How dare you defame me, how dare you smear my name. I won’t forgive you, take that..."

One kick followed another as Zhang Xue fiercely kicked Zeng Changyun unrelentingly.

Zeng Changyun was kicked until he was crying out for his parents and begging for mercy, but unfortunately, no one came to his aid.

Everyone knew he was finished, completely done for.

Previously, people had envied him for being favored by Zhang Dongyang and on the verge of a promotion. But now, faced with such a situation, one couldn’t help but feel a sense of irony at the enormous difference.

What a mess today had become. First, Zhang Dongyang had used his new post to show the officials of Jiang City who was boss. Then he moved against Lan Qianrong, trying to undermine and suppress her. And now, Xu Qianli had come forward to deal with Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao, slapping Zhang Dongyang in the face and resolving Lan Qianrong’s troubles.

These events seemed chaotic and many were still trying to make sense of them, but one thing was clear—the political scene in Jiang City was certainly not going to be peaceful.

A fierce power struggle between Zhang Dongyang and Lan Qianrong was inevitable.

Lan Qianrong had already laid down roots in Jiang City and had significant strength.

Although Zhang Dongyang had just arrived in Jiang City and had lost a battle, he still possessed the imperial authority granted by the city, his power not to be underestimated.

The battle between these two was likely to be brutal.

As for Xu Qianli, given the current situation, it seemed like he was siding with Lan Qianrong, which was puzzling. When had he become involved with Lan Qianrong again?

He had helped Lan Qianrong deal with Zhang Kuisan, only to be kicked aside. Now, he seemed to be connected with Lan Qianrong once more.

Had the two of them reached some sort of private agreement?
