The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

After Cui Qisheng and Jiang Huan left.

Chen Fang sat on the sofa in a daze.

Jiang Feng pushed the door open and walked in.

Chen Fang's words to the two earlier, Jiang Feng in the outer room heard them all.

He asked with some concern, "Leader, can we really clear up this case in half a month?"

Chen Fang shook his head bitterly and said, "It's impossible at the moment. Right now, all the avenues for investigating the case are blocked, and it's quite likely that Cui Liansheng might end up taking the fall for this case."

Ever since entering politics.

Chen Fang had never been so pessimistic as today.

It's not that he didn't have confidence in clearing up the case.

But the resistance from all directions was immense, and even though he was the Disciplinary Committee Secretary, he lacked the power to leverage the situation.

It's like throwing a punch.

But what was in front was just a mass of cotton.

No point of force at all.

Jiang Feng had previously suggested using Liu Yi's influence to counter Tang Guozheng.

With his sharp political instincts, Chen Fang knew that Liu Yi was eager to suppress him and would definitely not help him.

There was another crucial point.

The suspicion of Cui Liansheng being involved in murder made the case too sensitive.

Even if someone wanted to help, they wouldn't dare, because if anything went wrong, they might get tainted with "scandal."

In the political arena.

Everyone could only see their own core interests.

Expecting them to risk themselves to save someone was absolutely impossible.

Thinking of this.

Chen Fang looked up and asked, "I asked you to check Ji Shuzhen's background. Did you get it?"

Jiang Feng took out a folder, placed it in front of Chen Fang, and said, "Yes, I have. It's all here."

Chen Fang quickly opened the folder and glanced over it.

In Ji Shuzhen's background, he did find some anomalies.

Ji Shuzhen married at 24, and divorced at 28 from her husband Hu Jiurong.

At that time, Ji Shuzhen was working at the Women's Federation in Dingshan County as an ordinary cadre, while her husband Hu Jiurong was the head of a commercial bank in Dingshan County.

Hu Jiurong was a very violent person.

The divorce at that time was due to Ji Shuzhen taking Hu Jiurong to court, citing domestic violence.

The most severe incident was when Hu Jiurong broke two of Ji Shuzhen's ribs, leaving her bedridden for two to three months. After this violent incident, Ji Shuzhen resolutely chose to divorce.

After the two divorced.

Due to the scandal of domestic violence, Hu Jiurong was removed from his position as head of the bank.

And it was precisely because of this.

Hu Jiurong did not stop his revenge and harassment of Ji Shuzhen.

Later, for once again assaulting Ji Shuzhen and raping her, Hu Jiurong was arrested by the Dingshan County police and later sentenced to six years in prison.

At the age of 30.

Ji Shuzhen remarried.

By that time, Ji Shuzhen had become the Director of the Family Planning Office in Dingshan County.

Her second husband was named Zheng Ziyi.

He was the owner of a ceramic factory in Dingshan County.

In this marriage, Ji Shuzhen was not happy either.

A year after the marriage, Ji Shuzhen got pregnant, but during the pregnancy, she caught Zheng Ziyi cheating on her. She thought the confrontation might bring her husband back, but it didn't. Before long, Zheng Ziyi hooked up with his secretary again.

During the second time catching them.

Ji Shuzhen was pushed to the ground by Zheng Ziyi's mistress, causing her to miscarry.

After this incident, doctors confirmed that Ji Shuzhen would never be able to conceive again.

Not long after.

She and Zheng Ziyi agreed to divorce.

Since that time, Ji Shuzhen has never remarried, and to this day, remains single.

She also has no offspring.

These two unhappy marriages made Chen Fang sigh somewhat.

In a sense, Ji Shuzhen could be considered a pitiful person.

However, now she's completely different from the person who was once at others' mercy.

Putting down the folder in his hand.

Chen Fang let out a long sigh and said, "If Lin Duoduo was harmed by Ji Shuzhen, then such a demon will not stop, and Lin Duoduo would not be the only victim. Tell Wu Xixin to investigate around her, there might be a second victim."

"Okay, I'll inform Director Wu now."

Jiang Feng nodded and went out.

As he left.

Chen Fang suddenly shivered.

Suddenly, he felt his right eyelid twitching.

This was a bad omen.

As if something bad was going to happen in the dark.

Chen Fang took out his phone, first calling his wife Zhong Xiqian, who said everything at home was fine.

After hanging up the phone.

Chen Fang thought of Gu Mengsheng.

The last time they spoke on the phone should be three days ago, when she was at a scenic spot. Chen Fang asked her to come back, but she refused. She told Chen Fang not to worry about her, claiming she was grown-up and could take care of herself.

Chen Fang had no choice.

He made another call to her.

The call went through.

But was immediately hung up.

When he called again.

The phone was turned off.

Chen Fang thought, it must be this girl finding him annoying and not wanting to take his call.

So he sent a text message, asking her to stay safe, and to return quickly after her trip, otherwise, he would have difficulty answering.

Of course.

This text message also sunk without a trace, without any response.

While Chen Fang was calling.

Ji Shuzhen had already brought Gu Mengsheng to the door of her room.

As she took out her key.

Gu Mengsheng asked, "Sister, is this Chen Fang's home?"

Ji Shuzhen calmly replied, "No, Chen Fang's home is next door. I don't have his key, so you'll wait at my place."

"Sister, it's embarrassing, why don't I just wait in the hallway? He has to come back at some point."

Gu Mengsheng said awkwardly.

At this point, Ji Shuzhen had already opened the door.

She smiled and said, "Sister, don't be so polite. Come on in, there's air conditioning, it's cooler."

If it weren't really too hot outside.

Gu Mengsheng might not have stepped through that door.

Little did she know, it would be five days before she walked out again.

The apartment was large.

Sitting on the sofa, Gu Mengsheng glanced around, noticing there were four bedrooms.

The living room was also spacious and bright, very clean, giving a comfortable feeling.

At that moment.

Ji Shuzhen had already taken out an opened drink from the fridge to offer to Gu Mengsheng.

She said, "Thirsty? Here, have some chilled drink. One sip and the heat will vanish."

"Thank you, sister."

Gu Mengsheng took the drink and, without thinking, drank it down in big gulps.

Indeed.

The feeling of the cool drink going down the throat was extremely refreshing.

But she didn't know.

As she lifted her head to drink.

A sly smile flashed across Ji Shuzhen's face.

A smile that sent chills down one's spine.

"Feeling good?"

After Gu Mengsheng put down the bottle, Ji Shuzhen asked.
