Hearing those words, Victor Chu instinctively shivered, then rushed into the elevator and headed for the underground parking lot.
He quickly found his Ferrari sports car.
Just as he was about to get in, a group of people surrounded him.
When he saw who was leading the group, Victor froze for a moment, then angrily shouted, "Warren Xue, what do you think you're doing?"
Smack!
Warren Xue slapped Victor across the face, leaving five bright red finger marks on his left cheek.
"You dare hit me?"
Victor stared at Warren Xue in disbelief.
Smack!
Warren Xue slapped Victor again and sneered, "Before, I called you Young Master Chu only because of your mayor dad. Now that your old man can't even protect himself, what are you worth?"
Hearing this, Victor's bravado instantly deflated. He didn't notice the deep fear in Warren's eyes, nor the intense resentment as he looked at Victor. If it weren't for this guy sending him to Suncrest to investigate Hannah Han, he wouldn't have provoked that terrifying man!
"Boss Xue, please, stop hitting me! I have money. If you let me go, I can pay you!"
"Damn! So what if you have money!"
Cursing, Warren Xue slapped him again. The order from that mysterious, powerful man was to keep Victor in Suncrest City and spread news of his father's arrest to everyone the Chu father and son had framed or robbed.

The Discipline Inspection Commission moved fast. That very night, after arresting Chester Chu, they interrogated him nonstop. The dossier from the Commission was so detailed that every crime was laid out in black and white. Chester knew there was no way out this time, so he confessed everything, hoping for leniency.
As the saying goes, 'there are no secrets that won't leak.' In just one night, news of Chester Chu being taken away by the Commission spread across Suncrest City.
The next day.
The provincial committee sent people to strip Chester Chu of all his positions.
Strangely, no new mayor was appointed, nor was anyone assigned to take charge.
