School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 575 - 577: Know Well

```

"Go ahead and report me," Xiao Han said with unexpected composure as he sat down on the sofa beside him. The ropes and handcuffs lay on the coffee table. Xiao Han clicked his tongue and said, "Secretary Liu, you really know how to play. Even these interesting toys have come into your hands. It seems ambition isn’t constrained by youth."

"Who exactly are you?" Liu Shaorong glared at him furiously, not needing to voice the obvious knowledge that this man must be sent by someone; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so certain that he was indeed Liu Shaorong. In other words, the man must have come prepared.

Of course, Liu Shaorong would rather the man was the latter and not the former. If someone had sent him, then he was probably in trouble. If he had simply come prepared, perhaps some money or other benefit could get rid of him.

At this thought, a smile crept onto Liu Shaorong’s lips. He grinned.

"Who I am isn’t important," Xiao Han replied with a smile. "However, I came here today in hopes that Secretary Liu could do me a favor."

"What favor?" Liu Shaorong perked up immediately, his suspicions confirmed—the man had indeed come prepared. Liu Shaorong frowned and said, "Don’t think you can threaten me like this. Hmph, things are not as simple as you imagine."

"Oh?" Xiao Han hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you by any chance divorced? I know for a fact that you have a wife, and both your wife and child are overseas. Right?"

"You!" Liu Shaorong was shocked that the other man knew him so well—it felt unbelievable.

"Don’t be so surprised, Secretary Liu!" Xiao Han said with a slight smile. "Since I’ve come, of course I’ve come prepared. So, there’s no need for you to be shocked!"

"Just say what you want," Liu Shaorong responded, quickly regaining his composure. As someone who had faced many challenges, he wanted to see what the man was after. If the demand was small, he might satisfy him; if it was much larger, he could engage in a serious conversation.

Liu Shaorong felt threatened and pressured for the first time. However, he didn’t panic. He thought that since the man didn’t seem old, his demand shouldn’t be too excessive. Most importantly, he needed to get past this difficulty and then deal with him afterward. Once today was over, he could investigate the man thoroughly tomorrow. If he was just an ordinary person, it would be easy to get him jailed, never to be released again.

Dealing with a person was a simple matter for Liu Shaorong.

He nonchalantly lit a cigarette and said, "Speak your mind!"

"My request is very simple," Xiao Han said with a detached smile, tapping his crossed leg. Zhang Feng stood behind him, eyes glued to Chen Xiaoqin on the bed, her enticing figure still deeply etched in his mind.

"Speak!" Liu Shaorong nodded, saying, "If it’s within my power, I’ll help you as much as I can. If it’s not, there’s nothing I can do!"

"For Secretary Liu, it should be a piece of cake," Xiao Han smiled and said, "I have a restaurant called Hanmen Restaurant in University Town, and it’s currently being targeted by several departments like Industry and Commerce, the Tax Bureau, and Fire Services, which have issued rectification notices. I hope Secretary Liu can step in and help me out."

"Being targeted by several departments?" Liu Shaorong paused, noting, "Such scenarios mean you’ve either been targeted by someone or the city wants to set an example. There haven’t been such initiatives in the city recently—I’m very aware of that—so you must have been targeted by someone."

"I suspect as much!" Xiao Han nodded, saying, "I couldn’t think of a solution, so I was hoping Secretary Liu could help me resolve this trouble."

"All this for such a matter?" Liu Shaorong frowned and said, "Is it worth all this fuss? Besides, aren’t you afraid I’ll deal with you afterward?"

"Heh..." Xiao Han chuckled lightly, replying, "Secretary Liu, you neither will nor dare."

"Why do you say that?" Liu Shaorong asked, frowning.

"Feel free to try!" Xiao Han suddenly stood up, adding, "From now on, someone must cancel the rectification notice before I reach the restaurant; otherwise, whether Secretary Liu’s later years remain unsullied, well, I wouldn’t know."

Having said that, Xiao Han got up and walked towards the door. Zhang Feng hastily followed.

Only a few steps away, Xiao Han came to a sudden halt.

Liu Shaorong watched his back.

"Oh right!" Xiao Han turned to look at Liu Shaorong and said, "Secretary Liu, you must have skimmed quite a sum off that stadium project, right? One million, one hundred and twenty thousand; tsk, tsk, more than what ordinary people earn in several lifetimes!"

Hisss...

At this, Liu Shaorong involuntarily gasped. A shiver ran through his body. He had never imagined the man would have such damning evidence against him. It was a staggering thought. He stood there, staring agape, tongue-tied.

After a long moment, Liu Shaorong managed to speak, albeit awkwardly, "You... how did you know about this?"

"You need not worry about how I know," Xiao Han said with a smile. "In fact, I know more than just this. It all depends on whether Secretary Liu is willing to help me. If you help me, I’ll help keep your secret safe!"

"Alright, alright!" Liu Shaorong’s forehead sweated profusely as he became increasingly frantic inside. Instantly, one name came to mind: Ye Shisan. Only Ye Shisan would have been privy to this information.

Now that the young man before him knew these secrets, what did that mean? It meant that Ye Shisan had betrayed him. Realizing this, Liu Shaorong’s heart filled with rage.

Clang...

No sooner had Xiao Han left than Liu Shaorong grabbed a table lamp beside him and smashed it fiercely.

"What... what’s wrong with you?" Chen Xiaoqin looked at Liu Shaorong awkwardly.

"Damn it, I’ve been sold out." Liu Shaorong cursed angrily, then continued, "This bitch, this whore..."

After a torrent of curses, Liu Shaorong was gasping for breath.

After a long while, he finally calmed down. The thing to do now was to stabilize this person first, to make sure he didn’t leak anything. Once he had regained his composure, Liu Shaorong hurriedly called several units below him. He instructed them to immediately revoke the rectification notice for Hanmen Restaurant and ordered that they should stop troubling Hanmen Restaurant from now on, or else, he would not let them off the hook.

With one command from above, the people below set to work without a break. And now, after a fierce scolding from Liu Shaorong, those subordinates were scared out of their wits.

......

Fire Department.

Director Zhang from the Fire Department received a call from Secretary Liu. He was scolded so harshly that he became exceedingly angry and filled with suppressed rage. Grinding his teeth, he cursed, "Son of a bitch, who is messing with me behind my back!"

Director Zhang immediately ordered an investigation, only to find out that it was Captain Zuo.

"Go, call that bastard in." Director Zhang was furious, his bald head gleaming attractively.

Before long, Captain Zuo was summoned.

He was in uniform and saluted upon entering.

"Director Zhang, you called for me?" Captain Zuo asked awkwardly.

"If I hadn’t called for you, you’d have me ousted today, wouldn’t you?" Director Zhang was extremely annoyed.

"No, no, you’ve misunderstood." Captain Zuo quickly shook his head and said, "Director, what could make you so furious?"

"What do you think?" Director Zhang sneered and asked, "I want to know what the hell is going on with Hanmen Restaurant. Who told you to do this?"

"I..." Captain Zuo hesitated, then said, "I... I went there on my own."

"Good, so now you can act without my knowledge, can you?" Director Zhang sneered again, "Are you doing this deliberately or intentionally?"

"I... I was just enforcing the law impartially!" Captain Zuo said awkwardly.

"What an impartial enforcement of the law!" Upon hearing this, Director Zhang became even more furiously embarrassed, "Now Secretary Liu from the Municipal Committee has called to question us about who’s responsible for this. Tell me, should you take the fall for this or should I?"

"I... I..." As Captain Zuo heard this, sweat began to pour down; he quickly wiped his forehead with a tissue and said, "Director, how could this happen? Could it be... that the restaurant owner has some relationship with Secretary Liu?"

"If there were no relationship, would Secretary Liu personally give the order for special care?" Director Zhang stood up, pointing at Captain Zuo’s head, "Next time you handle something, could you use your brain first?"

"I... I..." Captain Zuo’s face was a picture of embarrassment.

"Sigh..." Director Zhang let out a sigh, then suddenly cursed, "Damn it, what are you still doing standing there? Go apologize right now, and quickly revoke the rectification notice!"

"Yes!" Captain Zuo clutched his chest and scurried out, fearful of offending Director Zhang by accident.

Captain Zuo hurried out all the way.

Administration for Industry and Commerce.

The deputy director was sitting in his office. He had already received a call from Secretary Liu. However, he considered the situation to be under control. Although he had inspected Hanmen Restaurant, it didn’t have anything to do with him.

As far as he was concerned, there was no need to target Hanmen Restaurant, for he was a smart man. Anyone who could get Qin Jun to take action personally was not to be trifled with. So, when he saw Captain Zuo issue a rectification order that day, he didn’t bother to speak up.

Because the desired effect was achieved, and the task was accomplished. He wouldn’t be left without credit. But if the power at Hanmen Restaurant were to rise, he could steer clear of the fray. After all, it was the Fire Department’s Captain Zuo who issued the rectification order, which had nothing to do with his Administration for Industry and Commerce at all.
