Chapter 273

It’s over. It’s all completely over. Fu Weiguo hadn’t reached his current position by being a fool. If this were just a common brawl involving someone without connections, he could have smoothed things over with a bit of compensation. But once the other party involved the authorities, it became a battle of influence; after all, the law doesn't exist in a vacuum, and human relationships often hold sway. But now, a sitting County Head had been dragged into it, with reporters snapping photos on the side. Fu Weiguo knew there was no way this could end well. In the old parlance, this was a matter of state prestige! A proper County Head beaten by street thugs in broad daylight—if this were swept under the rug, the government’s credibility would be in tatters. Fu Weiguo stood there, paralyzed, knowing that even with all the connections he’d cultivated over the years, no one would dare lift a finger to help, not even if Fu Yuheng were their own flesh and blood.
