The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Chen Fang returned upstairs.

He could only call Shangguan Shoudong to report.

But after several calls, the phone was still off.

There was nothing he could do, so Chen Fang could only pray that Gu Mengsheng wouldn't get into trouble.

That evening.

Chen Fang received an important call.

The call was from Xiao Ye.

She said there was a lead in the investigation in Baizhang Town.

This was good news.

Since it was inconvenient to speak over the phone, Chen Fang asked her to come to the villa at seven in the evening to discuss the situation.

Have to say.

Xiao Ye was quite punctual; she knocked on the villa door just a few minutes before seven.

Upon entering the living room.

Xiao Ye started complaining about how hard her investigation was over the past two days and how much she suffered.

Chen Fang listened impatiently.

He waved his hand to interrupt her and said, "Let's skip the hardships; I'll compensate you accordingly. First, tell me about the two people I asked you to investigate."

Xiao Ye, hearing this.

Her face lit up with joy.

She said, "Jin Ming and the whistleblower are both in Ironhead's hands, locked up in an abandoned primary school in Baizhang Town, guarded by Ironhead's men."

Hearing this news.

Chen Fang and Momo exchanged a glance.

Momo couldn't contain her excitement and stood up immediately, saying, "Let's report to the police now and let them rescue them."

"No!"

Chen Fang grabbed her arm and said.

Momo was stunned.

She asked, "Why? We already know their whereabouts, calling the police will solve the problem."

Chen Fang shook his head and said, "Once the command center receives the order, they'll report immediately to the local police station, meaning they'll alert the Baizhang Town police station. Lou Youhua is the top official there; do you think the police station isn't under his control?"

"Then what should we do? We can't just watch them suffer, right?"

Momo asked anxiously.

Chen Fang smiled and looked at Xiao Ye, who was eating fruit beside them.

Xiao Ye shuddered.

She looked at Chen Fang puzzled and asked, "Why are you looking at me? Surely you don't expect me to rescue them with the information I gathered?"

"Such a secretive piece of information, how can an ordinary student like you gather it?"

After saying this, Chen Fang.

Opened a drawer on the coffee table.

He took out three stacks of cash and threw them in front of Xiao Ye: "Let's be straightforward, if the money is not enough, I can add more, but you have to help me get them out, discreetly, without alerting Lou Youhua that I'm involved."

Xiao Ye wanted to argue a few words.

But the temptation of cash was too great.

She picked up the three neatly stacked piles of cash, held them under her nose and took a deep whiff, savoring the "scent" of money, then tossed the money back in front of Chen Fang, saying, "I might be short of money, but I still can't do it."

Momo also chimed in, "Ah Fang, how can you expect a woman to rescue them? I think we should call the police instead?"

Chen Fang did not reply.

He pulled out another three stacks of cash from the drawer.

Adding up.

It was sixty thousand now.

Xiao Ye was very tempted.

Her eyelids were trembling.

She wanted to reach out but withdrew her hand.

Chen Fang smiled slightly.

He pulled out four more stacks and tossed them on the table.

One hundred thousand!

A full one hundred thousand!

Xiao Ye licked her lips, her eyes fixated on the cash.

"Alright, since it's not about the money, I'll just take this money elsewhere to find someone else."

Chen Fang was about to put the money back into the drawer.

Xiao Ye panicked.

She quickly pressed his hand and said, "Hey, hey, hey, wait, why the rush, even though it's challenging, I can still try, just add twenty thousand more, add two more, and I'll do it."

Momo was surprised.

He was about to take out two thousand from his bag when Chen Fang glared at him and said to Xiao Ye, "This is all the money; if you can do it, take the money, if not, I'll find someone else."

"I'll do it, I'll do it, okay?"

Xiao Ye, full of resentment, swept the money swiftly to her side.

She grumbled, "So rich yet so stingy, no wonder people say rich people are magnanimously stingy, while poor people are cautiously generous..."

She stuffed the cash one by one into her pockets.

Filling her few pockets to the brim, even slipping a stack into her bra when there was no more room, satisfied after collecting everything, she stood up and said to Chen Fang, "Alright, I took the money, I'll get to work now."

"How long will it take?"

Chen Fang asked.

Xiao Ye thought for a moment and said, "48 hours, I'll get back to you in 48 hours."

"No, 24 hours, you'll deliver the person to this villa within 24 hours."

Xiao Ye gritted her teeth, cursed him as a ruthless businessman, and left resentfully.

As soon as she left.

Momo held onto Chen Fang's wrist.

She asked, "Ah Fang, can Xiao Ye really handle it? She's just a small woman, facing them are several tough men, if she's caught too, wouldn't we be losing people and money?"

"Don't worry, she can handle it."

Chen Fang said with a smile.

His face was full of trust.

Although Momo didn't understand, she didn't say anything either, after all, at the moment, there was no better idea.

The same time the next night.

At the entrance of Feiluan Primary School in Baizhang Town.

This was a village-level school, and a few years ago, students were transferred to the central school due to its establishment, so the teaching building was abandoned.

On the first floor, the lights in a few rooms were on.

Noisy sounds came from one room.

Inside, five or six people were making a racket.

Upon closer look, three people were playing cards, and others were watching intently.

"Damn it, what lousy cards, I'm done, I'm done."

A burly man with a full beard slammed his cards on the table, cursing, "Bad luck, I'm going for a piss, you guys continue."

As he got up.

Someone observing the game took his place.

The noise resumed.

After the bearded man left the room.

He didn't head towards the restroom.

He looked around.

While no one noticed, he took out a key and unlocked a nearby door.

After opening a small gap, he cautiously glanced back, then slipped inside.

Inside the room, the light was on.

In the empty room, other than a bamboo mat and a dirty blanket in the corner, there was nothing else.

Wait, near the mat, there were several bottles of mineral water.

On the mat sat a woman, her hands and feet bound, a tape across her mouth, she whimpered in fear upon seeing the bearded man.
