Who was Wang Yifa? He was none other than the brother-in-law of Liu Guangrong, the secretary of the Chengyang County Party Committee!
In a remote little county like Chengyang, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, Liu Guangrong was the local tyrant, the top authority whose word was law. Even the county head was often too timid to confront him directly, which only served to inflate Wang Yifa's arrogance. He was used to running roughshod over the county, bullying people with his connections, and had his hands in no small number of dirty deeds.
But now, some kid from a small construction team actually dared to come looking for trouble with him, Wang Yifa! This made him feel as though his authority in Chengyang County had been challenged, and he believed he had to crush this budding insubordination. That led to his "little trick," where he colluded with the hospital and the Xicheng Police Station to set a trap and get the kid thrown in a cell.
