Just as Gu Zheng's eyes were flickering, the bodyguard who had been following him outside came in.
"Mayor, there's people outside. The one leading said that he's the Chief of the Branch Office here."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zheng glanced at the ashen-faced sheriffs and nodded at the bodyguards.
"Let them in."
Following Gu Zheng's nod, an agile fatty rushed in from outside the courtyard.
Then, like a rubber ball that had been kicked, he knelt in front of Gu Zheng with a plop. His chubby face was covered in tears and snot.
"Boohoo!"
"Mayor Gu! Mayor Gu! I was forced to do this!"
"They, they said that if I don't do it, they'll remove me from my position as Branch Chief. I can't disobey them!"
Looking at the crying fatty in front of him, Gu Zheng's expression did not change at all.
These people were all thousand-year-old foxes, so there was no need to talk about believing them.
"Are you afraid of them but not me?"
