The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Under the strong pressure from the City Committee.

Three days later.

The Shangjiang District Committee made a decision.

To sell the original district committee courtyard plot located in the center of the district, the proceeds will be compensated to Jianhong Real Estate for the subsequent construction of East Green Garden, and another portion will be used to pay the overdue subsidies to the villagers of Nanmen Village.

This whole matter has been going back and forth for three to four whole years.

If it weren't for Chen Fang's words.

Perhaps the people of Nanmen Village would have died without ever seeing the day their new houses were completed.

The afternoon three days later.

The public cemetery in Shangjiang District.

Xiaoye knelt on the ground, in front of her was a tombstone.

This grave is precisely where her father, Si Ruzheng, the last village head of Nanmen Village, is buried.

"Dad, the mission you entrusted to me, I've completed it..."

After saying this.

Xiaoye's tears could no longer be held back and streamed down uncontrollably.

At this moment.

A tissue suddenly appeared in front of her.

Xiaoye was startled.

She turned her head to look, not knowing when Chen Fang had appeared beside her.

"You… How did you get here?"

Xiaoye seemed a bit flustered and quickly stood up, wiping away her tears as she asked.

Chen Fang reached out with a tissue to wipe the tears from the corner of her eye, and said, "Village Head Si was truly a good official, I also had to come and see him."

After speaking.

He placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone.

"My dad was filled with guilt towards everyone before he passed away. I think he can finally rest in peace now, all thanks to you."

Xiaoye said.

Chen Fang smiled slightly.

He said, "No, you should thank yourself, it was your perseverance that saved the people of Nanmen Village, while I merely did what I was supposed to do."

"You are a good person."

Xiaoye sighed deeply and said.

Chen Fang chuckled at her comment and said, "To hear such praise from you, I must be truly fortunate."

"I'm speaking the truth, not just flattering you."

Xiaoye muttered with a pout.

Chen Fang sighed.

He said, "This matter should be a lesson to us officials, why could such a matter not be resolved for three to four years, why did many people know about it but did not handle it, why is the communication between the people and the leaders so difficult, what is power really?"

"Society is progressing, your appearance signifies progress. I believe things will only get better moving forward."

Xiaoye said, looking at the distant blue sky.

At that moment.

Chen Fang was somewhat moved.

Even after enduring so much hardship.

Xiaoye still held bright hopes for the future.

Such a girl is truly rare to find.

"Here, this is for you."

Chen Fang suddenly thought of something and handed an envelope to Xiaoye.

"What is this?"

Xiaoye asked.

"The admission notice for Jiuhe Political and Legal University."

Chen Fang said.

Xiaoye's expression froze immediately.

"I looked into it, you were indeed a student of the Political and Legal College, your registration still exists. I couldn't believe it at first, but I pulled some strings and arranged for you to return to school, although you'll have to start over from freshman year."

Chen Fang said.

Xiaoye's body began to tremble slightly.

Tears began to accumulate in her eyes.

Chen Fang quickly said, "No crying, and no need to thank me. This is what you deserve, though it's a bit late, but you were not let down. Go study well at the Political and Legal College, whether you enter the legal system or become a lawyer after graduating, I believe you will uphold the law."

"Yes! I will definitely achieve that."

Xiaoye did not let the tears fall.

Instead, she gritted her teeth and nodded heavily.

After the commemoration.

The two of them were just about to descend the mountain.

It was at this time that Chen Fang saw, in the distance, at the cemetery's entrance.

A dozen or so young people were coming towards them.

These dozen people looked unruly.

Some had yellow hair.

Some were wearing vests exposing their tattoos.

All of them were holding steel pipes, machetes, and one even had a homemade hunting gun in his hand.

It's important to know.

In the large cemetery, they were the only two people.

These people suddenly appeared.

Without any accident, they must be coming for them.

The cemetery is arranged along the hillside, from top to bottom.

Chen Fang and Xiaoye were halfway up the hill.

And those dozen people were climbing the hill.

What's worse is, it's as if they had planned it, they scattered as soon as they arrived at the cemetery, and there were people on all three paths down the hill, meaning even if Chen Fang and Xiaoye wished to escape, the paths down the hill were blocked.

Unfriendly visitors.

Chen Fang and Xiaoye exchanged a glance.

Being quite nimble, Xiaoye said, "Go up the hill, I know a small path to leave."

Without another word.

The two started running uphill.

Seeing the two escape, those behind them quickly sped up too.

A few minutes later.

Led by Xiaoye.

The two reached the top of the cemetery.

Between the cemetery and the mountain forest, there was an iron fence barrier.

Sure enough.

Xiaoye found a door in the corner.

The door wasn't locked.

After they pushed the door open, they were faced with a dense mountain forest.

"Why do we always end up escaping into the mountains."

Chen Fang murmured seeing this.

Xiaoye was puzzled, asking, "Do you often have to escape?"

Chen Fang laughed cheekily and said, "Not often, but scenarios like this have happened a few times."

Chatting away.

But their pace didn't slow.

Although they were fleeing quickly, those chasing them were relentless as well.

After sprinting wildly for a while, Xiaoye, being a woman, was clearly struggling, yet their pursuers hadn't been shaken off, at this rate, they'll be caught sooner or later.

At this moment.

His foot suddenly landed on nothing.

If not for his quick reflexes, grabbing a nearby small tree.

He would have fallen into a deep pit.

Upon taking a closer look.

Where he stepped was a trap.

Covered with fallen leaves, it was likely set by a Hunter to catch wild boars.

Thinking quickly, he crouched down to remove the leaves and sure enough saw a cover made of woven vines.

He opened the cover and said to Xiaoye, "Here, let's hide in here."

Xiaoye simply couldn't run any further.

She nodded.

With Chen Fang's assistance, she descended first into the pit.

Chen Fang spread some leaves over the vine cover, then used branches to erase their footprints.

He then jumped into the pit, carefully lifted the vine cover and let it fall back over the trap.

After about two minutes.

The sound of dense footsteps appeared overhead.

The trap was not small.

It was large enough to hold a wild boar.

Even so, in such a confined space, Xiaoye was still tightly pressed against Chen Fang.

In times of crisis, a man remains a woman's reliance.
