The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 201: Now, the Punishment Begins!

Thump!

As Chen Bin finished speaking, Zhong Pengrun slumped into his chair, his eyes empty and lifeless.

He had thought with Lu Huisheng’s protection, he would surely ascend smoothly in his career.

He never imagined things would turn out like this!

Seeing this, Chen Bin naturally knew that the other party felt guilty.

He shouted again, "As the village Party branch secretary, you dare to deceive your superiors and subordinates, disregarding the villagers’ interests, Zhong Runpeng, you have some nerve!"

Witnessing this scene, the reactions of the Party committee members were varied.

Compared to Wei Kai and others, who were extremely agitated, Lu Huisheng was grinding his teeth, wishing he could tear Chen Bin limb from limb.

As the saying goes, "To beat a dog, one must look at its master." For Chen Bin to reprimand Zhong Pengrun in front of so many people was akin to slapping Lu Huisheng in the face.

At this moment, Wei Kai suddenly spoke up.

"Given Zhong Pengrun’s dereliction of duty, I believe he is no longer fit to continue serving as the Party branch secretary of Sun Village."

As soon as these words were uttered, they immediately received echoes of agreement from Jiang Huai and others.

"I agree."

"I also agree."

"If we continue to keep such a scourge, we will surely become estranged from the masses!"

Lu Huisheng knew that Zhong Pengrun’s performance just now was tantamount to openly admitting his deceitful actions.

But even so, he still had to stand up for him.

After all, everyone knew Zhong Pengrun was his man. If Zhong Pengrun were to be easily dismissed, Lu Huisheng’s prestige in the town would be greatly diminished.

With a light cough, Du Minli immediately spoke.

"I think dismissal is rather severe. For the mistakes made by Zhong Pengrun, we should primarily focus on criticism and education."

Since someone had led the charge, Lu Huisheng’s people began to exert their influence in unison, all trying to absolve Zhong Pengrun of his crimes.

Seeing the situation reach a deadlock, Chen Bin knew it was time to play his trump card.

His glance subtly swept over Cai Lixia and Ding Zi, signaling them to speak up quickly.

Nodding slightly, Cai Lixia was the first to speak.

"Zhong Pengrun has committed such a grave error; if we just criticize and educate, can we justify ourselves to the people of Sun Village? An official like him who exploits for personal gain must be severely punished!"

Chen Bin, upon seeing this, cast an approving look at Cai Lixia.

In Qinghe Town, there were thirteen members of the Party committee, with Lu Huisheng’s side holding six seats.

Chen Bin’s side, including Cai Lixia, also had six seats.

So, as long as Ding Zi made her stance clear, the matter could be resolved.

Quickly, both Chen Bin and Lu Huisheng turned their gaze to Ding Zi.

"Mr. Ding, what is your stance regarding the handling of Zhong Pengrun?"

Biting her red lips, Ding Zi’s gaze flitted back and forth between Chen Bin and Lu Huisheng.

This made Chen Bin uneasy.

After all, he had done so much for Ding Zi, and they had already discussed this matter in advance.

Why was she hesitating?

To be on the safe side, Chen Bin said without any hint of emotion.

"Since Mr. Ding is reluctant to express her opinion, then we can tentatively assume she supports the removal of Zhong Pengrun from his position..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Ding Zi suddenly clenched her fist, staring intently into Chen Bin’s eyes.

"I object!"

"What did you say?"

Facing Chen Bin’s astonished look, Ding Zi answered again.

"I oppose the removal of Zhong Pengrun’s position!"

With these words, the people on Lu Huisheng’s side all secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Especially Zhong Pengrun, whose sweat had soaked his clothes.

Darkly staring at Ding Zi, Chen Bin felt a surge of anger ignite within him.

He could never have imagined that she would turn out to be so ungrateful and ruthless.

After all the effort, he had fed a thankless wolf!

Smugly glancing at Chen Bin, Lu Huisheng spoke with a smile.

"Since most comrades believe we should not remove Zhong Pengrun from his duty, let’s give him another chance, as long as..."

"No, Zhong Pengrun must be removed!"

Gritting his teeth, Chen Bin was resolute.

This greatly displeased Lu Huisheng.

"Secretary Chen, our Qinghe Town has always followed the principle of the minority obeying the majority. Isn’t your high-handed unilateral decision-making somewhat inappropriate?"

Chen Bin had already resolved that today, no matter what, he was going to make an example out of someone.

Otherwise, not only would he be overshadowed by Lu Huisheng in the future, but it was also very likely that he would lose Wei Kai’s support.

By then, he would become a true puppet.

Taking a deep breath, his tone remained unequivocal.

"Mayor Lu, please mind your own position. Here in Qinghe Town, I’m the top authority. Removing Zhong Pengrun was my decision. If you disagree, feel free to report me to the county; I await your complaint anytime!"

Lu Huisheng never imagined that Chen Bin would actually confront him so forcefully.

Considering that the bullfrog breeding was at a critical juncture, he ultimately chose to keep silent.

After all, a gentleman can wait ten years for his revenge; this grievance, he noted it!

With a cold snort, Chen Bin cast an icy glance over everyone present.

"Let me make myself clear, planting fruit trees on Sun Mountain is a policy for the benefit of the people. Whoever dares to obstruct it, I’ll deal with them one by one and show no mercy!"

Lu Huisheng’s people were very dissatisfied with these words.

But seeing that Lu Huisheng remained silent, they naturally did not dare to chime in.

Having asserted control over the situation, Chen Bin turned his attention back to Wang Yu.

"The position of the Party Secretary of Sun Village will be temporarily filled by you. As for planting the fruit trees, make sure to notify the villagers thoroughly and gather their genuine feedback."

Wang Yu nodded repeatedly, "OK, I understand."

With the matter resolved, Chen Bin suddenly stood up.

After giving Ding Zi a ferocious glare, he then said with a cold voice, "Meeting adjourned!"

Although he finally managed to remove Zhong Pengrun as he wished, his method was not honorable.

In any meeting, the support of the majority is needed in most cases.

While Chen Bin, as the town’s main authority, has the power of veto, resorting to such means also means that his position is in jeopardy.

Chen Bin dared to call this meeting precisely to diminish Lu Huisheng’s influence.

At the same time, it was also to fortify his position as the top leader.

Now, Ding Zi’s sudden betrayal had caused him a great loss of face.

Back in his office, before Chen Bin could even sit down, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Chen Bin growled, "Come in!"

Then he saw Ding Zi, with her head lowered, slowly reappear in front of him.

The moment the door closed, Ding Zi’s originally icy tone wavered with trembling.

"I’m sorry, I just..."

"You ungrateful wretch, do you even know to apologize?"

Faced with Chen Bin’s scolding, Ding Zi’s head sunk even lower.

Just as she was about to explain, she heard Chen Bin’s furious order.

"Lock the door and come to me!"

Seeing the enraged Chen Bin, Ding Zi felt a surge of unease.

She always felt that something bad was about to happen.

But even so, she dared not defy him.

Clenching her teeth, she quietly locked the door.

Approaching Chen Bin, she was met with his wolfish gaze.

Fear engulfed her like never before, and Ding Zi began to tremble all over.

"Secretary Chen, listen to my explanation, I..."

Before she could finish her words, she was yanked by the wrist and pulled into his embrace.

As she felt her trousers being torn down, Ding Zi started to struggle frantically.

"I know I was wrong; I’m sorry for what I did to you. Please, calm down first, I..."

Slap!

Before she could finish her plea, Chen Bin flipped her over and laid her across his legs.

A slap, even through the panties, left a handprint on her fair and soft buttocks.

Overwhelmed by humiliation, Ding Zi, the icy beauty, actually began to sob.

"Secretary Chen, listen to me, it’s not what you think it is."

While gently caressing the handprint on Ding Zi’s buttocks, Chen Bin whispered in her ear.

"Since you have already betrayed me, any reason you give will be weak and meaningless. The punishment begins now; I do not wish to hear another word from you!"

With that, he tore off Ding Zi’s panties and forcefully stuffed them into her mouth...
