Chapter 491: High up on the flagpole

Peng Wu acutely detected that this matter was connected to Hucheng. As for why it was Jin Twenty-four, that seemed unimportant in the grand scheme of things when everything was basically already settled.

HK and him, Peng Wu, had to fall. As they were the instigators, they had to be strung up, adorning their flagpole.

If Jin Twenty-four had only wanted to resolve Hucheng’s problems in C City, this was overkill. It was also risky and wholly unnecessary. Simply by negotiating alone, he would be able to get Peng Wu to stop. Even if he absolutely wanted make Peng Wu pay a price, he would have alternative methods available too.

Yet, he had chosen the riskiest, most forceful method. Even as the bureaucracy might target him and intervene, the more people knew about this the merrier.

Peng Wu’s greatest error was what he had once been most triumphant about. Not only would he be taking revenge on Hucheng himself, this would also serve as an inspiration to the other people Hucheng had offended. They would be able to exact vengeance at little cost.
