The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Did you think this was the end?

No, it's not!

This is just the beginning of the nightmare.

She saw the crimson nail marks left on Gu Mengsheng's skin.

Ji Shuzhen seemed very excited.

She actually laughed out loud, her face also showing a satisfied expression.

After finishing with the right Big White Rabbit, she switched to the left, rubbing and ravaging, until both mounds were covered with such a grim sight.

Only then did she feel a bit tired.

First, she pulled a syringe out of the drawer.

Drew some unknown liquid and injected it into Gu Mengsheng's arm.

Until Gu Mengsheng couldn't hold on any longer and felt drowsy.

Then she took off her robe, revealing her naked body, lay down beside Gu Mengsheng, embraced her tender body, and peacefully fell asleep.

Today is the first day of the nightmare.

When she woke up the next day, it was already bright.

Opening her eyes, what she saw was not Ji Shuzhen, but also the abused Tingting.

She stared at Gu Mengsheng with eyes that seemed void of anything.

"Help me, help me..."

Gu Mengsheng shouted out suddenly.

Only then did she realize that somehow she had regained some strength.

She climbed frantically out of bed, only to find her feet were fastened to the iron frame at the foot of the bed.

These were two thick iron chains, escaping was simply impossible.

"Eat something."

Tingting pointed to the bedside.

On it was a tray with fruits, milk, and a piece of exquisite dessert.

Gu Mengsheng had no appetite.

She pleaded with Tingting in a begging tone, "Please help me, please help me..."

"It's no use, you should eat something."

Tingting said blankly and then prepared to leave.

Gu Mengsheng called out, "Tingting, your name is Tingting, right? Help me, help me, let's escape together, I know people, I know powerful people who will protect us, really, they will protect us..."

Tingting glanced back at Gu Mengsheng.

Without saying anything, she left.

What followed was endless silence.

Gu Mengsheng originally didn't want to eat, but her mind was still clear.

She knew she needed strength to get away.

So, she ate the food on the bedside table quickly, and after regaining some strength, she started fiddling with the iron chains on her ankles.

After countless tries.

Even though her ankles were chafed and raw, it was to no avail...

At this moment, she had no idea that early in the morning, Chen Fang also sensed something was amiss.

A little after eight in the morning.

Chen Fang walked into the City Committee building as usual.

The guard at the entrance first greeted him and then said eagerly, "Secretary Chen, there was a young girl who came looking for you yesterday, are you aware of this?"

"A young girl? What young girl?"

Chen Fang asked in a daze.

The guard scratched his head, recalled, and said, "Oh right, I think her name was Gu... Gu Mengsheng, yes, Gu Mengsheng."

"Yesterday? Gu Mengsheng?"

Chen Fang jerked and asked, "Where is she?"

The guard said, "Since I couldn't get in touch with your office, I didn't let her in, and then... then... she seemed to be taken away by Mayor Ji."

"Mayor Ji?"

Chen Fang repeated under his breath.

Suddenly.

All the nerves in his body tensed up.

He asked, "Ji Shuzhen?"

"Yes, yes, Mayor Ji. I was bored at the time, so I watched outside. I saw her get into Mayor Ji's car, and then I didn't know where they went."

Chen Fang's mind buzzed like an explosion.

He immediately took out his phone and called Gu Mengsheng.

Unexpectedly, the phone was off.

Aware that something serious might have happened, he rushed out the door and headed to the City Government Building.

Taking long strides, without even knocking, he directly pushed open the door to Ji Shuzhen's office.

At the time Ji Shuzhen was listening to her female secretary's report, Chen Fang's sudden entrance startled both of them.

Especially Ji Shuzhen, who said with a disgruntled face, "Secretary Chen, why don't you even have basic manners? As the Disciplinary Committee Secretary, don't you know to knock?"

"Mayor Ji, I have something to discuss with you."

Chen Fang said, suppressing his wildly racing heart.

Ji Shuzhen glanced at the female secretary beside her and said, "Tingting, go take care of what I instructed you earlier."

The secretary, Tingting, nodded, said okay, and turned to leave.

Ji Shuzhen stood up from behind the desk.

Gesturing to Chen Fang, she said, "Have a seat."

Chen Fang remained standing, not budging.

Bluntly he asked, "Mayor Ji, I heard from the guard downstairs that you took a female friend of mine, and I'd like to know where my friend is now?"

Ji Shuzhen remained very composed.

Pretending to think for a moment.

She said, "Oh, you mean Miss Gu who went to the City Committee building yesterday?"

"Yes, yes, that's her, that's her."

Chen Fang said anxiously.

Ji Shuzhen said calmly, "At that time she said she was waiting for you, didn't meet you, and I happened to be going out, so she asked if I could drop her off at Jianye Road, which I did."

"Jianye Road? Why did she go to Jianye Road?"

"That, I don't know, why? Is there a problem?"

Ji Shuzhen asked.

Chen Fang pondered for a moment.

Gazed at Ji Shuzhen again.

At this time, she was sitting on the sofa, leisurely drinking water, appearing calm and unaffected.

Thinking about Lin Duoduo's death.

Chen Fang took a deep breath and said, "Mayor Ji, this girl's identity is not simple. If you know her whereabouts, please inform me, otherwise, it could lead to big trouble."

"Mayor Chen, what do you mean? I helped your friend, and you turn around asking me about her whereabouts? Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

Ji Shuzhen raised her head, looking disdainfully at Chen Fang, and said.

Chen Fang swallowed nervously and said, "Mayor Ji, I'm not joking; this girl's identity is really quite unusual."

After speaking.

He gritted his teeth.

Said, "Mayor Ji, I promise not to pursue the Lin Duoduo case anymore, as long as you hand her over to me."

With a bang.

Ji Shuzhen slammed her hand on the coffee table.

Suddenly stood up.

Pointing at Chen Fang's face, she angrily exclaimed, "Secretary Chen, don't push it. Get out now, and don't forget, among the City Committee members, my rank is higher than yours; it's not your place to criticize me."

Since Ji Shuzhen didn't admit to it.

Chen Fang had no other way.

Not wanting to waste time on this woman.

As he turned to leave, he suddenly paused, turned back, and said, "Mayor Ji, I understand if you want revenge on me, but please don't go too far."
