Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

Seeing that Zhao Xiaohui couldn't produce any money, the group of men shook the table even more vigorously.

The Bluebird sedan swayed back and forth on the Gobi Desert highway like a piece of duckweed.

Erlaizi clung to the car window, grinning and shouting, revealing his large, yellow teeth.

"Girl, it's okay if you don't have money... you can even have a good time with your Lai Zi Ge..."

After saying that, he waved to the crowd around him and shouted something loudly.

"Don't rush... there's enough for everyone, just line up in a bit..."

The two groups remained deadlocked for a long time. Zhao Xiaohui, having seen many big scenes, calmed down considerably.

With a furrowed brow, she mustered her courage and shouted at Erlaizi by the window.

"I know Qi Tongwei, the Party Secretary of Fuyuan County, and Baimaiti, the County Head."

We had dinner together a few days ago... You bullied me, they won't let you get away with it...

Erlaizi was taken aback when he heard this, then turned around and shouted to the crowd.

"Did you all hear that? This woman, relying on her official position, is harming ordinary people..."

They ran over and killed my cow and won't pay me back, and they even dare to threaten me... What should we do, everyone?

As his shout faded, the crowd erupted in a cacophony of cheers, and the car shook even more violently.

Erlaizi peeked through the car window and shouted coldly.

"Let me tell you, mentioning anyone won't help... Even if Qi Tongwei were here, he'd still have to pay compensation!"

"If someone accidentally kills a citizen's cow, they should compensate the citizen; that's only right and proper...it doesn't matter who intervenes."

After saying that, he paused slightly, revealed a lewd smile, and continued.

"No money, huh? No money is fine... I'll sleep with your lazy brother for a night if you want..."

Seeing that Er Laizi's words were becoming increasingly vulgar, Zhao Xiaohui asked the driver to roll up the car window.

She stared at the crowd outside the car, gritted her teeth, and said in a cold voice.

"Reverse! Crash it out!"

The driver was taken aback, glanced back at her, and hesitated before speaking.

"Mr. Zhao, although it's close by... something could still end up costing someone their life..."

Before the driver could finish speaking, Zhao Xiaohui spoke again in a cold voice.

"Just hit it! I'll take responsibility if anything happens, don't worry!"

The driver swallowed hard, gritted his teeth, shifted into reverse, and slammed on the gas pedal.

As soon as the accelerator was pressed, the engine roared to life.

To Zhao Xiaohui's surprise, the car shook violently but remained completely still.

The driver was also completely confused.

He gritted his teeth and slammed on the gas pedal three times until white smoke billowed from the front wheels before finally coming to a stop.

He looked at Zhao Xiaohui, his face contorted with worry, and said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Zhao, the wheels are stuck... we can't move them..."

Little did he know that this group of people were originally a bunch of thugs who made a living by blocking roads.

Let alone a Nissan Bluebird, they have ways to render even a semi-trailer immobile.

Seeing that Zhao Xiaohui was trying to run away, Erlaizi and the others outside the car became even more frantic.

At Erlaizi's command, seven or eight people exerted force simultaneously, making the car shake even more violently.

As the vehicle swayed, Zhao Xiaohui's head hit the roof several times, causing her to scream repeatedly.

Just as the Bluebird was about to be overturned, the crowd outside the car was suddenly scattered.

The car suddenly stopped shaking, and Zhao Xiaohui was able to see what was happening outside.

A man in a police uniform rushed in.

He didn't squeeze in; he fought his way in.

Without saying a word, the man punched and kicked, carving a path through the crowd until he reached Er Laizi.

Erlaizi recognized the person who came and was about to speak when he received a solid slap.

"Damn it! You won't get away with anything unless you cause me trouble, will you?"

Erlaizi covered his face, not daring to fight back, but he refused to back down at all.

"Director Su, this really wasn't me causing trouble. Look at the scene, the cow is still there..."

They ran over and killed my cow, and they won't pay me back, and they even tried to run away...

Su Lie ignored him, turned around and walked to the car, knocked on the window, and said in a deep voice.

"Don't be afraid, tell me what's going on..."

Upon seeing this, the driver quickly rolled down the car window.

He was about to speak when Zhao Xiaohui, sitting in the back row, spoke first.

"Officer, I'm a businessman here to invest, and they're trying to extort money from me! Please protect me..."

Zhao Xiaohui had already seen Su Lie and witnessed his entire process of fighting his way into the crowd.

In her eyes, Su Lie was not a policeman at this moment, but her savior.

Su Lie glanced at Zhao Xiaohui in the back row and continued speaking.

"Comrade, don't be afraid, I am Su Lie from the mining district branch."

Would it be convenient for you to come down and explain the situation?

At this point, he waved to the group of thugs in front of him and said loudly.

"Get out of the way! Everyone except Er Laizi, line up on the side of the road..."

Su Lie's fearsome reputation preceded them, so the crowd didn't dare hesitate and immediately squatted down by the roadside, forming a line.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Su Lie looked at Zhao Xiaohui again and said softly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one will hurt you... Would you mind coming down to talk?"

Zhao Xiaohui, accustomed to the refined gentlemen of officialdom and business, had never seen such a tough and resolute man before...

Su Lie's words seemed to have a magical power; without the slightest hesitation, she opened the car door and got out.

Seeing Zhao Xiaohui get out of the car, Su Lie didn't dawdle and had the two of them recount the events.

After listening to their stories, Su Lie glared at Er Laizi and asked in a deep voice.

"You scoundrel, don't think I don't know what tricks you're up to."

What are you doing herding cattle so late at night? And why bring so many people with you?

Erlaizi had a guilty conscience, but he still didn't back down an inch.

"Director Su...no one said we can't graze cattle at night."

Besides, I was herding cattle home, and these guys were coming home with me for drinks and dinner...

You can't wrongly accuse someone... Look, my cow is still lying on the ground...

Su Lie glared at him and reprimanded him in a deep voice.

"Shut up! You know perfectly well whether I've wronged you or not..."

After saying that, he turned to Zhao Xiaohui and gestured for her to come over and talk.

Zhao Xiaohui understood and immediately followed him to the back of the Bluebird.

Su Lie sighed and said in a low voice.

"Comrades, you did indeed run over and killed the cow; you were at fault first..."

How about this? The compensation will be based on the price of two cows, two thousand six...

"You can take the cow away, okay?"

Zhao Xiaohui took a step forward, held Su Lie's hand tightly, and whispered.

"Director Su, we'll do as you say. I don't want the cow; they can have it..."

She was very close to Su Lie and could faintly smell his masculine scent.

She paused slightly, glanced at Su Lie, and her face flushed slightly.

"I, my name is Zhao Xiaohui... I am friends with your Secretary Qi and County Chief Bai."

In a couple of days, I'll invite them both to dinner to thank you...

Su Lie was taken aback, then withdrew his hand without making a sound, and said in a deep voice.

"Secretary Qi's friend...Secretary Qi is my former boss."

Here's what we'll do: you get in the car first, and I'll talk to him about it to see if we can compensate him for the cost of a cow.

After all, the calf is still inside her belly, not born yet...

Zhao Xiaohui was about to refuse when Su Lie turned and left.

Watching Su Lie's tall figure recede into the distance, Zhao Xiaohui's eyes flickered, and her heart softened once more...
