Free Web NovelChapter 2116: Chapter 2076: Deputy Director Zhu
Ye Weidong hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to actually make a move, and to do it just like that in front of so many people.
Those people with the surname Zhu were all knocked to the ground by Ye Qiu.
As for that Zhu Family Grave that had looked so luxurious before, at this point Luo Yang and the others had already destroyed most of it, and they still hadn’t stopped.
Because Ye Qiu simply hadn’t told them to stop.
"Chief, they really are fighting, let’s hurry up there."
In the countryside, mass brawls and other sudden incidents between villages over some利益 conflicts happen all the time, sometimes even with fatalities, and now the deputy chief Zhu had heard someone was already dead.
He hurriedly led the officers from the precinct up the slope.
Sure enough, when they got up there, both sides were seething with anger, bristling with hostility.
"Old Zhu, look at how they’ve wrecked our ancestral tomb, hurry up and make them stop," an elder looked at the deputy chief Zhu and said.
Now that they saw their own people had arrived, those with the surname Zhu were naturally excited, thinking that just because they had guns, they were very impressive.
Besides, they figured these precinct cops would definitely take their side.
"All of you, stop it right now."
The deputy chief Zhu said.
But Ye Qiu just glanced over and didn’t take this so‑called deputy chief Zhu seriously at all.
Ye Qiu simply did not stop.
"If you don’t stop, I’m going to fire," deputy chief Zhu said.
"Ye Qiu, this is the deputy chief of the precinct, he’s a descendant of the Zhu Family Grave,"
Ye Weidong said.
He hadn’t expected the Zhu clan to show up this fast.
"I’m going to shoot."
Deputy chief Zhu said angrily.
He hadn’t expected these people—he’d come with officers, and they still dared to be this arrogant and destroy graves, and on top of that it was a grave related to himself.
How was he supposed to swallow that?
"Try firing a shot, see what happens."
Ye Qiu stared at him coldly and said.
"Who are you?"
Deputy chief Zhu looked at Ye Qiu and asked.
Ye Qiu was dressed plain, but the look he had just given him was very different.
It was like a powerful aura pressing straight down on him.
"My surname is Ye, I’m from Ye Family Village."
"You the one in charge?"
"I am. I’m the one who told them to destroy this Zhu Family Grave."
"You really don’t know what’s good for you. Squat down immediately, hands on your head!" Deputy chief Zhu said directly.
Ye Qiu stood there, and when he saw the other man point a handgun at him, he said, "In my life, what I hate most is people pointing guns at me. There’s only one outcome for anyone who points a gun at me: they all die."
They all die!
"You, you—!" Deputy chief Zhu, shaking with rage, pointed at Ye Qiu’s forehead, and Ye Qiu suddenly slammed a fist into his chest.
Deputy chief Zhu hurt so badly he almost vomited; his whole body dropped straight to his knees, and the other precinct officers raised their handguns and pointed them at Ye Qiu.
"Didn’t you hear what I just said?"
For some reason, the officers who’d come along immediately felt that this young man in front of them was not someone they could afford to mess with.
Besides, this was a grave dispute—as long as they didn’t start a mass brawl, that was enough.
When they holstered their pistols and stood off to the side, Ye Qiu said, "It’s not like I’m randomly wrecking your Zhu Family Grave for no reason. It’s because your methods were too vicious—you messed up my grandpa’s grave first."
At this point, the other descendants of the Zhu Family Grave realized something seemed off—this young man wasn’t doing this for nothing, he had his reasons.
But no matter what, this Zhu Family Grave was their family’s ancestral tomb. How could they just stand there and watch it be ruined like this?
"Brother Qiu, I’ve brought the explosives,"
Cai Yong said on the phone.
As soon as he got Ye Qiu’s call, he’d immediately had people prepare explosives.
In fact, in big cities, lots of companies need to use explosives—like for demolitions, buildings that require scheduled blasting all need explosives.
But how much explosive is used and how it’s used has to be strictly monitored.
Obviously, this time Cai Yong had used his connections to get ten jin of explosives, then immediately drove it over.
He was on the road right now.
"I’ll be waiting for you on the mountain."
Explosives?
Ye Qiu was going to wait for Cai Yong and the others to bring the explosives up.
"Ye Qiu, you—?"
"Dad, I’m not just going to wreck this Zhu Family Grave, I’m going to blow it up. I want these people to know what happens when they mess with me."
Blow it up too?
Who exactly was this young man, to be this outrageous?
And he was saying it right to their faces.
Deputy chief Zhu was stunned!
But he’d just pointed a gun at the guy, and the guy hadn’t been scared at all, hadn’t even put him in his eyes. Given how things were now, he was afraid this might be beyond his ability to handle.
Deputy chief Zhu quickly called the chief of the precinct.
"Chief, we’ve got a situation."
...
Right now the two sides were standing on opposite sides.
On Ye Qiu’s side there weren’t many people, barely thirty‑odd, while on the Zhu Family Grave’s side a few hundred had already shown up, each one carrying some kind of weapon, all looking vicious.
The deputy chief Zhu and those officers were standing in the middle, trying first and foremost to prevent another mass brawl between the two sides.
As for how exactly this situation was going to be resolved?
That was already beyond what a deputy chief like him could decide.
Plus, he already understood that the reason this young man surnamed Ye was so furious and determined to destroy the Zhu Family Grave was obviously because the grave of the old man with the surname Ye nearby had been wrecked by people from the Zhu Family Grave first; once he found out, he was now paying them back in kind.
How was something like this supposed to be handled according to the law?
He had no idea himself.
But private fighting was definitely not allowed.
And since he himself was a descendant of the Zhu Family Grave, no matter how this was handled, he ought to recuse himself; otherwise his career would definitely be affected.
It was clear this young man was no ordinary person; no ordinary person would dare act like that.
Those regular villagers, you probably wouldn’t even need to draw a gun—just seeing a uniform, they’d be scared.
But this young man’s gaze at them didn’t even treat them as humans.
Since they still didn’t know this young man’s background, there was no need for him to stick his neck out and grandstand anymore.
"Ye Qiu, you really called someone to bring explosives?" Ning Yun asked excitedly.
He hadn’t expected to witness something like this.
"You’ll see soon enough. These people think that just because they’ve got numbers they can bully our Ye Family. I’m going to let them watch with their own eyes as their ancestral tomb gets blown to pieces, so they learn exactly what happens when they provoke me!"
"Ye Qiu, this is going to get bigger and bigger. The impact will be huge, and using explosives privately is illegal," an older paternal cousin standing to the side said.
"Cousin, what are you afraid of?"
That cousin didn’t say another word.
Right now both sides were still waiting, and more and more people on the Zhu Family Grave’s side had heard that their ancestral tomb wasn’t just going to be damaged—it was going to be blown up.
