CH 96

When the special car was driving through a desolate mountain between Huai Town and Shangxi Town, Lin Wen suddenly felt a huge needle-like sensation in his heart.

Almost instinctively, Lin Wen lay down.

Bang!

The windshield of the special car shattered into debris, and the specially made top-grade bulletproof glass was shattered into countless shiny dust, shining and sparkling under the refraction of sunlight.

There was a big hole in the backrest of the rear seat of the car, and even the rear trunk was pierced, and the road surface could be seen.

Obviously, this was the super powerful anti-material sniper rifle bullet.

The special car lost balance in an instant while driving at high speed, and the car body instantly lost control. The driver of the special car held the steering wheel tightly, while Lin Wen had already activated the [Swift of the Spirit Cat] and jumped directly off the special car.

In the moment he landed, there was another loud gunshot. This time, the special car was directly broken into two pieces, and the rear of the car hit the ground with a bang, while the front of the car slid far away.

Lin Wen rolled on the ground, and before he could stand up, he pounced forward again.

Bang!

There was a huge bullet hole where he was just now.

"Sheriff Lin! Find cover! There's a sniper!" The driver of the special car fell from the half of the car hood and shouted loudly.

But Lin Wen didn't listen to him and ran directly towards the direction of the sniper. He had already confirmed his location, on a deserted mountain ahead.

"Sheriff Lin! There's no cover in front, it will make you a target!" The driver of the special car said so many words to his superior for the first time.

Lin Wen waved his hand to indicate that he knew, and at the same time, he suddenly jumped.

Another sniper shot missed, raising more than one meter of sand and dust behind him.

The driver of the special car looked blankly at Lin Wen's figure rushing towards the sniper on the top of the mountain, looking at one shot after another of the deadly sniper shots missing, as if something had shattered in his soul.

After dodging the thirteenth shot, the opposite side seemed to give up, but Lin Wen did not give up. He went around from the side and saw the sniper who was retreating from behind the mountain at a glance.

He was wearing a gray-red armor, carrying a large gun bag on his back. When Lin Wen saw him, he also saw Lin Wen.

Lin Wen immediately accelerated towards him, and at the same time, he threw away the gun bag, drew out a sleeve sword, and rushed towards Lin Wen.

In the moment when the two sides were close, he stabbed out three lightning-fast swords, aiming at Lin Wen's throat, heart, and abdomen.

Even though he had activated the [Swift of the Spirit Cat], Lin Wen's eyes saw his attack clearly, but his thinking couldn't keep up. He relied on the instinct of his body to dodge to the right, but his abdomen was still cut, and his clothes were torn in two.

[No colorful phoenix in body] kept sounding the alarm, and Lin Wen just touched the ground, instinctively rolled to the side. With a bang, the sleeve sword was pinned to the ground. The assassin changed his move extremely quickly, and the sleeve sword immediately swept sideways, almost brushing against Lin Wen's waist.

Lin Wen flipped and jumped, launching a counterattack with a flying kick. The assassin's left shoulder sank slightly, using his arm to absorb the force, and his right hand stabbed with a sword. But in mid-air, Lin Wen suddenly changed direction, his body flipped and leaned back, and his toes moved up.

In an instant, he missed a sword, but Lin Wen kicked him in the neck.

[Swift of the Spirit Cat] is complete control over strength and body. Although Lin Wen's strength is not great, it is because he doesn't understand the technique of exerting force and cannot fully mobilize the power of muscle groups and make full use of inertia. If he can control these points, even an ordinary person can burst out with great strength.

The assassin covered his neck and took a few steps back, looking at Lin Wen with an incredulous look in his eyes.

The movement just now was almost impossible for a human to do, more like a cat that had become a spirit. It is difficult for normal humans to flip and change direction in mid-air without borrowing force.

And Lin Wen, for the first time, fully exerted the [Swift of the Spirit Cat] to the extreme, almost all relying on instinct to act, his thinking had completely fallen behind.

But it should be no problem to take him down, it may just take a little more effort.

Lin Wen was about to rush up, and [No colorful phoenix in body] suddenly went crazy with alarms. He immediately flew back.

Only a few loud noises were heard, and the mountain road was already covered with mysterious thunder, which he didn't know when it had been laid. If his reaction was a little slower, he would have been crushed to pieces.

As the dust settled, the person had long disappeared, and even the gun bag was left behind.

The sound of roaring came from the distance, and an off-road motorcycle flew away.

Hmph, you ran fast.

Lin Wen watched the motorcycle disappear between the mountains and turned around to go down the mountain.

It was too late to chase now, even if he exhausted his spiritual energy, he might not be able to catch him.

He was still saving his spiritual energy to completely eradicate the roots.

Returning to the special car, the driver of the special car was delighted to see the sheriff return. He had already reported the situation to Huai Town through the car radio.

The assassination of the highest official in a region was the most important thing in the imperial practice, even more important than anything else.

The Supervision Bureau almost mobilized all its forces and sent more than forty cars. The chief eunuch of the Supervision Bureau, Xu Kangxing, rushed over, but Lin Wen didn't let him speak. He only asked him for a car and drove away.

Although Sheriff Lin didn't say anything, Xu Kangxing had seen the tragic scene of maintaining public security, and he couldn't take it lightly. This lord held the power of jurisdiction. If he really wanted to kill him, it would be a matter of wearing a hat of rebellion and a bullet.

He immediately ordered the Supervision Guard to search for all traces, collect and preserve all evidence, and take photos of the scene without leaving any corner.

Not long after, Lin Wen arrived at Shangxi Town.

This was a lonely town in the wilderness. Due to the departure of too many people, this town was already lifeless and dilapidated.

There were only a few elderly people left in the town, and they were walking towards the end of their lives just like this town.

There were only four officials in this town, which was only slightly more than the two officials in Changle Town in the entire Changshan County.Unlike Lin and Li at the time, these four were complete slackers. Zhao Minggong, without any hesitation, reassigned them as soon as he arrived. They were transferred to the Tea Quality Research and Development Reform and Newspaper Culture Research Department of Changshan County, serving as the head of the Tea Tasting Division and the deputy head of the Newspaper Research Division.

It was a lateral transfer, and no one could object.

Due to the injuries of Yun Qingshui, the leader of the Democratic Party and the appointed deputy mayor, and Chen Xingtai, the appointed mayor, who was still in jail, the affairs were temporarily managed by Liu Henshi and Zhao Minggong.

More than seven thousand farmers, plus over two thousand members of the Democratic Party, would settle down here.

The first issue was housing. Most of the houses in Shangxi Town were vacant. Apart from some that were dilapidated due to age, many houses could be made habitable with a bit of cleaning and repair.

Zhao Minggong didn't give them away for free. Instead, he estimated the value of the houses based on their size and degree of damage, then converted the value into grain, agreeing to deduct 20% of each year's harvest.

Zhao Minggong's consideration was very meticulous. Since houses are indivisible properties and the houses in the town were not standardized buildings, some were good, some were bad, some were big, some were small, some were dilapidated, and some were still in good condition. It was difficult to achieve absolute fairness, which would inevitably lead to conflicts.

Therefore, Zhao Minggong chose to deduct 20% of the harvest as the value of the house. This would not burden the farmers, nor would it cause conflicts, and it would not lead to picking, disputes, or waste because it was free.

Zhao Minggong had seen too many such incidents. What was supposed to be a good thing, in the end, turned out to be a disaster.

This saddened him the most.
