The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

"You still know it's your house."

Chen Fang gritted his teeth and said.

Then he turned to Tang Guozheng and said, "Secretary Tang, Mayor Liu, four or five days ago, I reported to both of you that a friend of mine was missing. Just now, I found my friend, at Comrade Ji Shuzhen's house."

Once these words were spoken.

The meeting room immediately burst into noise.

The other committee members started discussing as well.

Tang Guozheng and Liu Yi exchanged glances, each thinking this was absurd.

"Comrade Shuzhen, is what Comrade Chen Fang said true?"

Tang Guozheng asked.

Looking at Ji Shuzhen, she remained calm.

She smiled and said, "Comrade Chen Fang, let me ask you a question first, did your people ask for permission to go into someone's house?"

"Of course not, if permission was given, I wouldn't be able to find my friend."

"So, does this mean you knowingly broke the law? Trespassing is a minor matter, but can I consider it burglary? And you were the one who instigated it."

Ji Shuzhen remarked indifferently.

Chen Fang snorted coldly and said, "It's fine, I'm willing to accept responsibility for anything, but shouldn't you give an explanation for this matter?"

"Explanation? What explanation? The house used to be mine, but not anymore. I sold it to my secretary Guo Tingting two years ago. Do you need me to show you the purchasing contract?"

Ji Shuzhen said confidently.

Chen Fang's mind buzzed.

He hadn't expected Ji Shuzhen to be prepared.

He took a deep breath and said, "Even if it's not yours, weren't you living there?"

"I only occasionally stay there. I'm close with my secretary, sometimes we get together, if it gets late I just stay at her place, what's wrong with having a private life?"

Ji Shuzhen retorted.

"Secretary Chen, let me say something fair."

At this moment, Su Shangcheng, a municipal committee member and Secretary of the Municipal Committee, interjected.

Generally speaking, when something begins with "something fair," it often signals siding with one party.

Sure enough.

Su Shangcheng said, "Secretary Chen, it was wrong of you to send people to trespass. Secondly, you said Mayor Ji also stayed there? How do you know that? Did you send someone to follow Mayor Ji? Mayor Ji is a provincial-level official, it's not up to the City Disciplinary Committee to follow, is it? Could this be abuse of authority?"

This hit a sore spot.

Political and Legal Committee Secretary Hao Jin said, "That's right, Comrade Chen Fang, your actions are unacceptable. You could face disciplinary action if reported."

"Alright, Comrade Chen Fang, discussing a minor missing person case at the committee meeting is already absurd. Accusing and framing a colleague makes it more serious. Let this matter end here."

Tang Guozheng couldn't stand it anymore.

He said very seriously.

Thus concluding the matter.

After all that fuss, Ji Shuzhen, who orchestrated the kidnapping, got away with it.

Instead, Chen Fang's issue became serious.

At this moment, Chen Fang finally realized he was being sidelined by the leaders, seeking justice was impossible.

Helplessly.

Chen Fang could only sit down.

After about another half hour of the meeting.

Tang Guozheng announced the end of the meeting.

As soon as Chen Fang packed his things and left the meeting room.

He heard Ji Shuzhen's voice behind him, "Secretary Chen, wait a moment."

Chen Fang stopped in his tracks, then Ji Shuzhen came before him and asked, "Want to talk?"

Chen Fang said nothing and walked to the end of the corridor.

By this time, others were leaving in groups.

Ji Shuzhen, looking composed, said to Chen Fang, "What a pity, not satisfied yet, didn't expect you to actually find her, such a beautiful girl..."

Chen Fang thought Ji Shuzhen might deny everything.

Didn't expect her to brag in his presence.

At that moment, he wanted to punch Ji Shuzhen right in the face.

But he knew he couldn't do that.

Ji Shuzhen was doing it on purpose, trying to provoke him.

"Mayor Ji, now that the person has been found, the truth will eventually come to light. You will pay the price."

Chen Fang said.

Ji Shuzhen burst into laughter.

She said, "Secretary Chen, don't be naive. First, the house isn't mine. Second, my secretary Guo Tingting did this, she'll turn herself in to the police later. If your friend accuses me wrongly, who'll believe it? Do you think you can bring me down just based on her confession?"

"No wonder you're so fearless, already found a scapegoat."

Chen Fang said.

"Hahaha... Secretary Chen, you must feel helpless, upset, full of grievances? Want to hit me, right?"

Ji Shuzhen asked.

Before Chen Fang could speak.

Ji Shuzhen continued, "I've said it before, she's just a little girl, can't cause much trouble. A wise man knows to accept reality, Secretary Chen, you must swallow this anger, whether you like it or not. You, Chen Fang! As long as you're in Shangqing City, you'll never touch me, hahaha..."

After saying this arrogantly.

Ji Shuzhen swaggered away.

Halfway through, she suddenly turned, looked at Chen Fang, and said, "Secretary Chen, if you don't hit me now, you'll probably lose the chance, won't you?"

Seeing Chen Fang not moving.

Ji Shuzhen said, "Oh Secretary Chen, when you return, please tell that girl she's really pretty, but she should stop wandering around, if caught by bad people again, she might not come out this time..."

At this moment.

Chen Fang's fist was already clenched tight.

He couldn't care less now.

Seeing Ji Shuzhen about to leave.

Chen Fang shouted, "Ji Shuzhen!"

"What?"

Ji Shuzhen arrogantly turned back, only to see Chen Fang rushing her.

First, he kicked her in the stomach, sending Ji Shuzhen flying two meters away.

Then Chen Fang straddled her, slapping her face back and forth.

If it weren't for other staff at the municipal building pulling him away, Ji Shuzhen might have been finished today.

However, when Ji Shuzhen was helped up, her cheeks were swollen badly, and blood was oozing from the corner of her mouth...

She spat out a mouthful of blood foam.

With a terrifying smile on her face, she said, "Chen Fang, just wait to go to jail..."

Right in front of Chen Fang.

She pulled out her phone and directly dialed 110...

...

The news of Chen Fang beating Ji Shuzhen quickly spread throughout the compound.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Yi smiled at Political and Legal Committee Secretary Hao Jin, who came to report the situation and said, "Two dogs biting each other, all for a little girl, Chen Fang actually resorted to violence, this guy, doesn't have brains, can't see Ji Shuzhen deliberately provoked him?"
