Chapter 671: Chapter 671: Overbearing Move!
In an instant, Zhang Dongyang’s demeanor changed dramatically, his eyes fierce, and he clenched his fists as if ready to devour Xu Qianli with his gaze.
“If I’m not mistaken, you came here alone, without anyone else knowing you were coming to see me.”
“For me, it’s actually a good opportunity, a chance to easily eliminate you!”
Zhang Dongyang really wished Xu Qianli were dead, wished he could kill him on the spot.
Ever since he arrived in Jiang City, Xu Qianli had been a constant hindrance, continuously hampering him.
If it weren’t for Xu Qianli, he would have easily taken control of the Jiang City bureaucratic scene to carry out the tasks assigned by his superiors.
But Jiang City just had to have a Xu Qianli, ruining his grand plans!
He thought that transferring Xu Qianli elsewhere would smooth things over for him.
However, just after he ordered the kidnapping of Sun Yan and Fan Hua’s families, it hadn’t been long before the men he sent were all killed, and the families were rescued. He had even caused a bloody mess, nearly getting ousted at the City Committee meeting.
Even though Lu Xingtian had temporarily saved him, he was hardly secure in his position in Jiang City anymore.
All these were thanks to Xu Qianli, that damn guy!
In a fit of rage, Zhang Dongyang was ready to strike at any moment.
It was night, Xu Qianli was alone; he was fully confident he could finish him off!
Just as Zhang Dongyang was about to make his move, Xu Qianli said, “You want to kill me, right? If you have the guts, go ahead and try!”
Hiss…
Zhang Dongyang took a sharp intake of cold breath, wanting to act but for some reason, a strong sense of impending danger overcame him.
It felt as though the moment he made a move, Xu Qianli would pounce and kill him.
Something was wrong, terribly wrong. With his own capabilities, it shouldn’t be impossible to deal with Xu Qianli. Yet, why did he feel this way?
Was it just an illusion?
Xu Qianli asked, “Well, aren’t you going to act?”
“What do you want?”
Trying to maintain restraint and remain calm, Zhang Dongyang asked.
It was late at night, and Xu Qianli had come to find him, surely with some purpose.
He had to ask, what was Xu Qianli really after?
“Asking what I want?”
“Fine, I’ll tell you. Since you came to Jiang City, your methods have been far too domineering and underhanded, which really irks me.”
“Political maneuvering is one thing; having the ability to outsmart each other is a skill. But you are different, breaking the rules by targeting family members, which is utterly despicable!”
“Unfortunately, you’re the Jiang City County Secretary, and killing you would have too great an impact, so I have to spare your life.”
“I’ll spare your life, but I have to teach you a lesson, to let you know that the people here are not to be messed with so easily!”
“And to let you know this is Jiang City, not Cailin County, not a place where you can act recklessly!”
A cigarette had already been smoked, and Xu Qianli flicked the butt away, the still-sparking end exploding toward Zhang Dongyang like a bullet.
Zhang Dongyang’s head dodged to the side swiftly, easily avoiding the cigarette butt.
The next moment, he saw a figure ghostly appearing in front of him—it was Xu Qianli. He had effortlessly crossed a distance of seven or eight meters and was coming at him with a kick to the waist.
Even though Zhang Dongyang was prepared and knew that Xu Qianli was skilled, he couldn’t help but be alarmed and tried with all his might to block, but he couldn’t, and was kicked away by Xu Qianli flying seven or eight meters.
Before Zhang Dongyang hit the ground, Xu Qianli had dashed forward like an arrow and leaped up to deliver a battle-axe chop to Zhang, who was still in mid-air, and slammed him hard onto the ground with a loud thump!
Having taken two hits in succession, Zhang Dongyang, as if nothing had happened, clapped his hands on the ground, pushed off with his two feet, and slid backward over the ground like an eel, quickly springing up.
Vigorously adjusting his collar, Zhang Dongyang snarled and said, “Thrilling, haha, thrilling. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a blast. Xu Qianli, Xu Qianli, you really surprise me, whether in politics or right now, you’re a worthy opponent. You’re strong and cunning, with aggressive tactics, but unfortunately, you’ve met me, Zhang Dongyang. You’re doomed!”
“Go to hell, you piece of shit!”
Xu Qianli cursed and lunged forward again, delivering another powerful kick towards Zhang Dongyang.
Zhang Dongyang also charged at Xu Qianli, yelling, “Go die!”
The two quickly clashed together, exchanging dozens of blows, neither able to gain the upper hand for a while.
As they fought, Xu Qianli sensed something was wrong; this guy’s vitality seemed to surge as they fought, as if he was cheating, seemingly impervious to pain.
He had seen crazy, but never this level of insanity.
Already suspecting that this guy came from the Qingshan Association, Xu Qianli was now almost certain, he was definitely from the Qingshan Association!
Being so formidable, he likely held a high position within the Qingshan Association. Maybe Xu Qianli had caught a big fish!
After a few more exchanges, Xu Qianli decided to let loose completely, no longer holding back. His attacks became extraordinarily swift and fierce, brutally kicking Zhang Dongyang to the ground.
Not giving him a chance to get up, he delivered a heavy kick to the back of Zhang’s head, sending him spinning and flying over ten meters across the ground, crashing heavily into a wall.
No matter how formidable Zhang Dongyang was, the heavy blow to his head scattered his strength and caused him to spew out a mouthful of fresh blood.
His head spun wildly, struggling in vain to rise.
Xu Qianli quickly strode over, ruthlessly stepping on Zhang Dongyang’s head, “Didn’t you want to kill me? Why are you lying on the ground like a dead dog now?”
“Ptui!”
Spitting out more blood, Zhang Dongyang fiercely glared up at Xu Qianli, speaking cruelly.
“Don’t get cocky. Do you think just because you’ve beaten me, you can get rid of me?”
“No matter what, I am the dignified Secretary of the Jiang City County Committee, and you, an externally appointed official, have assaulted me, making me vomit blood. If I let this out, I’ll make sure you won’t get away with it!”
“I was actually worried about my current situation, but with your assault, I can just go to the hospital for a few days, and soon, I’ll manage to deal with everything.”
“On the other hand, you are finished!”
Zhang Dongyang grew more excited as he spoke, currently under suspicion for kidnapping and being passive due to his scandal with a pretty secretary.
Now, having been beaten up by Xu Qianli, he could play the victim and stay in the hospital to gain sympathy. Then he could have Lu Xingtian manipulate the situation, claiming the kidnapping was a setup by Xu Qianli to frame him and clear his own charges.
Haha, good, excellent…
Zhang Dongyang was reveling in his thoughts when suddenly Xu Qianli stomped down hard, almost bursting his head, nearly finishing him with a single kick, abruptly cutting off his laughter.
Inhaling sharply, Zhang Dongyang said, “You want to kill me? Do you know the consequences of killing a County Party Secretary? Can you, Xu Qianli, afford to bear them?”
