The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Chapter 101: The Cowardly Rooster



This body had already been claimed by Chen Fang.

But looking at it again, it was still dazzling and craving.

Mo Zifei was the most flavorful woman he had ever known.

She had the grace of a mature woman and the coy shyness of a young girl, and when these qualities were perfectly combined, that feeling was indescribable.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Chen Fang freeze in place, Mo Zifei asked.

Chen Fang threw down the bag of needles.

He rushed over and embraced Mo Zifei, saying, "Sister, you're too tempting. How about we get active and sweat a little."

Mo Zifei tapped Chen Fang's nose and said coquettishly, "Naughty boy, you just want to devour your sister, don't you?"

"So will sister let me devour her?"

Chen Fang asked.

Mo Zifei's face turned red, and she said shyly, "Sister has presented herself to you, how could I not let you? I miss you too."

Under Chen Fang's gentle caresses.

Mo Zifei could no longer hold back.

She hooked her arms around Chen Fang's neck, fluttered her charming eyes, and suddenly pressed her lips against his…

On the office sofa.

A fiery tumult, a vision of spring.

Just as Chen Fang had said.

A storm had passed.

Mo Zifei was drenched in sweat.

In such a state, acupuncture would be even more effective than a sauna.

After seeing Mo Zifei off.

Chen Fang reflected on their conversation once more.

Just as Mo Zifei had overheard.

Sun Shenru would not let this go.

The reason he hadn't acted was both because he feared Xu Lianyun's willingness to fight to the death and because it would attract unwanted attention if he caused trouble for Chen Fang right after dealing with Yuan Zhenting.

Someone as calculating as he would not make such a foolish move.

Forbearance was an essential skill in the political arena.

But no matter what.

The feud between him and Sun Shenru was now a certainty.

Chen Fang did not want trouble.

But since things had come this far.

He had no regrets.

No matter what Sun Shenru had planned next, he would face it.

Around three-thirty in the afternoon.

Guo Zheng came running in hastily, informing Chen Fang that Cui Hongqing had made another move.

During this time.

Chen Fang had been busy dealing with Yuan Zhenting's matter.

But that did not mean he neglected Jiang Yuchan's situation.

On the contrary, he had Guo Zheng keep an eye on Hongqing Grocery Store.

A few days ago, Cui Hongqing took away the store's earnings and went out to have fun with the butcher's widow, Mrs. Chen.

The man had stayed away from town.

So Chen Fang had not taken any action.

As the two of them reached the vicinity of the grocery store, they heard a ruckus inside.

"You bitch, where's the money? Did you give it all to some bastard you're keeping on the side, huh? If you don't hand over the money today, I'll beat you to death."

"Wuwuwu... there's no more money in the store. You took almost half a month's income last time. The money from the last few days of sales has gone into restocking. There's not a single cent left at home."

That was the sound of Jiang Yuchan's weeping.

Guo Zheng, hearing this.

Wanted to rush in.

Chen Fang grabbed hold of him, saying, "Wait a moment."

Upon hearing there was no money.

Cui Hongqing went mad again.

He swept the items from the shelves onto the floor.

A slap landed on Jiang Yuchan's face as he shouted, "God damn it, you whore! I don't care how, but you'd better get me that money. Otherwise, I'll strip you naked and throw you onto the street for everyone to see!"

"Wuwuwu, Hongqing, there really is no money at home..."

"No money? Then get out there and sell yourself! What good are you to me if you can't even bear a child? Believe it or not, I'll choke you to death right now!"

The broad-shouldered Cui Hongqing raised his hand again.

He aimed another slap at Jiang Yuchan's face.

But just as his palm neared her, a hand suddenly appeared out of thin air and grabbed his wrist.

The arm, bulging with veins, hung frozen in mid-air.

Cui Hongqing looked up.

He saw a delicate face.

He frowned and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

"Boss, I'm here to buy something."

"Buy something? I'm not doing business today, get the hell out of my way!"

Cui Hongqing cursed angrily.

Meanwhile, he tried to pull his hand back.

But after trying to yank it several times, teeth clenched, he found that Chen Fang's grip wouldn't budge.

His own strength seemed to dissipate into thin air, utterly ineffective.

"Ah Fang!"

Jiang Yuchan had closed her eyes in fright when she was hit.

After hearing the familiar voice, she opened them again and immediately saw Chen Fang.

"You two know each other?"

asked Cui Hongqing.

"Not only do we know each other, but we are also very close."

said Chen Fang.

Cui Hongqing seemed to suddenly understand.

He tried to kick Jiang Yuchan again and cursed, "You filthy woman, I wasn't wrong; you've been spending all the money on your little lover, haven't you?"

It was at the very moment he extended his leg.

that Chen Fang released his wrist.

His body had been tense the whole time,

and with the release, he instantly lost control.

He missed his target and stumbled, crashing heavily into the shelf behind him, grimacing in pain.

"Yuchan, get up!"

Chen Fang reached out his hand and helped Jiang Yuchan up from the ground.

Then he shielded her behind him and said, "Yuchan, you don't need to worry about anything. I'll handle the rest."

Although Jiang Yuchan was still somewhat apprehensive,

she trusted Chen Fang's words.

She nodded,

leaning against Chen Fang's back.

"You shameless bitch, you've gone too far, bringing your lover here, huh? If I hadn't come home today, I would've never caught onto your affair,"

Cui Hongqing climbed up from the ground again, cursing furiously.

A faint smile appeared on Chen Fang's face as he said, "Let's not use such ugly words. Aren't you also messing around with women outside?"

"I'm a man."

"So what? Men are allowed to cheat and commit domestic violence, but women can't?"

"You don't know shit. She's like a hen that doesn't lay eggs. What's the use of keeping her around?"

Chen Fang asked, "Have you ever considered that maybe you're the rooster that's shooting blanks?"

"Motherfucker, are you asking for death? Just watch, I'm going to kill you today."

Having finished cursing,

Cui Hongqing roared and charged at Chen Fang again.

Before he could get close,

Chen Fang kicked out, striking him solidly in the lower abdomen.

Cui Hongqing flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing against the shelves once more, this time warping them out of shape.

"Ow, it's killing me, damn it..."

The commotion

attracted a crowd of onlookers from the vicinity.

Seeing that Cui Hongqing had shakily gotten back on his feet,

this time, he was completely cornered.

He picked up a sickle from the ground

and had just raised it

when Chen Fang began waving his hands and said, "No more fighting, no more fighting, I give up. Big brother, why don't you name a price? What will it take to let me off the hook?"

Upon hearing Chen Fang offer to name a price,

Cui Hongqing's mind began to whir.

His wife "wearing a green hat" actually didn't bother him much; money was what really mattered.

After sizing up Chen Fang, he snorted coldly and said, "You're scared now, huh? You slept with my wife and hit me; don't think some chump change will get rid of me."

"Then you name a price."

Chen Fang pressed.

Cui Hongqing thought for a moment,

then said, "Eight thousand; nothing less will settle this matter."

Expecting him to ask for a sky-high sum, he was surprised that it was only eight thousand.

Chen Fang paused, then said, "Forget eight thousand; what about twenty thousand? Will that do?"

Seeing someone haggle was not uncommon,

but it was the first time he had encountered someone haggling up.
