<h4>Chapter 873: Chapter 873: Rumors Spread Everywhere</h4>


    The sun gradually set, and at this moment within the county city, the streets and alleys were abuzz with talks about what had happened in the afternoon.


    "This new county magistrate has such a presence, dare to directly confront Huo Ben and still left unscathed. This time he really disgraced himself!"


    "County Magistrate Luan just jumped off a building, forced tomit suicide, and he dares to do this, really doesn’t seem to fear Huo Ben. Isn’t this courting death? I’m afraid that early tomorrow morning, it will be another jump.


    "This newly appointed county magistrate is really unusual, parading the captured around town, yet the media hasn’t reported a single word. I’ve heard that his connections go straight to the Provincial City; this time Huo Ben is in real trouble. Maybe he’s the one who will jump off a building."


    "That’s not for sure. Huo Ben is petty, definitely someone who repays grudges, how could he possibly ignore this? But I heard that County Magistrate Lin told Huo Ben to his face that he’ll handle what others won’t, and deal with whom others won’t. Clearly, he intends to make an example of him."


    "Red g County is about to be chaotic. I was just saying County Magistrate Luan justmitted suicide, howe a deputy was sent over so quickly; turns out there’s something going on here. Looks like the upper levels want to deal with Huo Ben, even County Magistrate Zhao might be involved."


    During men’s leisure time, naturallyes national affairs, home and country. Lin Fan’s uproar in the afternoon surely became the topic of heated street discussions. Everyone was specting about what kind of confrontation would erupt between him and Huo Ben. Meanwhile, as one of the protagonists, Huo Ben was driving straight toward Zhao Chuanchun’s house in the county town.


    It was a luxurious vi located on the south side of the county town,vishly decorated, beautifully carved and painted, a ce many dreamt of. But here it served only as his temporary resting ce. Of course, he would usually entertain some guests or hold some private meetings here.


    As the car stopped, Huo Ben quickly pushed the car door open and walked inside therge vi. At this moment, Zhao Chuanchun was seated in the living room, surrounded by a few of his trusted aides who were reporting recent developments one by one.


    "Godfather!"


    Huo Ben stood grim-faced in front of Zhao Chuanchun, but he didn’t respond, continuing to listen to the group’s report. After over an hour, when everyone finished reporting, he gave a few additional instructions, finally looking at the silent Huo Ben standing there.


    "Why the anger, what’s happened?"


    "Godfather... that Lin kid is getting cocky, directly dragging people to Shengwei Group, throwing them down in front of everyone. He even scolded me saying he’ll handle what others won’t, and deal with whom others won’t... this is clearly dering war on me."


    Huo Ben was already sensing Zhao Chuanchun’s odd attitude, having kept him waiting for an hour, yet still couldn’t help butin.


    "Then you came over to tell me this for what purpose?"


    Zhao Chuanchun lit a cigar, exhaled the smoke, and asked.


    "Godfather... this guy harbors sinister intentions. Just moved into the County Government, causing such a big problem, targeting me directly. It’s inly a provocation to you. If this continues, where would your prestige in Red g County be... Should I arrange for someone to take him out!"


    Huo Ben’s eyes were filled with bloodshot; in the six years since he rose to the top, everyone he met had to bow down, and now Lin Fan dared to confront him, humiliating him for the second time. He truly couldn’t tolerate it.


    "I heard about the afternoon incident too, it was that man leading a group of ghost fire youths making troubles outside the female high school, so Lin Fan disciplined them harshly. So, tell me the truth, was it you who sent that boy over for trouble?"


    Zhao Chuanchun squinted his eyes, staring directly at Huo Ben, who froze upon hearing this, then clenched his fists. "It wasn’t me... it was... ck King Kong... acting on his own. Recently the trend from female high blew towards Fireworks Alley, reportedly those girls were moved and wanted to return to school, highly impacting our business... thus they gave a small punishment to female high."


    "Well, there you have it. People are free; they want to sell, they sell. They want to return to study, they return. I’ve always taught you a principle, we don’t encourage but also don’t reject. We can’t stop others because we’re losing people; otherwise, it’s forcing the virtuous into prostitution, which damages morality."


    Zhao Chuanchun looked sternly at Huo Ben saying, "I’m attending the female high’s opening ceremony the day after tomorrow, when you’re doing this, how could you not think about my reputation!"


    "Godfather, I did not initiate it, it was ck King Kong secretly doing it behind my back, I wasn’t aware!"


    Huo Ben hastily defended, but was interrupted by Zhao Chuanchun waving his hand: "You say now, Lin Fan storming yourpany is pping my face, but I wasn’t aware of this matter. What your subordinates do, you weren’t aware but got implicated, what should you do!"


    "I... I’ll definitely go back and give him a severe lesson!"


    Originallying to file aint, Huo Ben suddenly realized he seemed to have shot himself in the foot, making his expression increasingly more awkward.


    "You, well, too young, too many things, unable to handle people... Here’s the deal, hand over the management rights of nightclubs and entertainment venues to Sister Hong, she’s meticulous and can help you share the burden. This way you can focus on managing other matters!"


    Zhao Chuanchun’s words instantly stunned Huo Ben, trying to lodge aint ended up having a slice of his domain cut off.
