The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

It was night, around ten o'clock.

In Dingshan County, Shangqing City.

Dingshan County is also a major tourist destination in Shangqing City.

Although there aren't many types of tourism, it boasts a Taoist mountain famous worldwide—Wuqing Mountain.

The marvelous peaks and unique rocks on the mountain go without saying.

The mountain is dotted with Taoist temples, totaling twenty-five.

These temples have a long history, and the cultural relics within them are countless.

Such a picturesque place naturally offers beautiful scenery.

But who would have thought, hidden in the mountain forest, there is a huge estate.

With the estate backed by the mountain and facing the lake, its feng shui is unmistakably excellent; without guidance, no one would find this secret place.

In the middle of the lake is a small island of moderate size.

A villa is built on the island.

At this time, the villa is still brightly lit.

At the fence on the open space at the entrance, a sunshade umbrella is propped up.

Under the umbrella is a middle-aged man who appears to be in his forties or fifties, leisurely fishing with a rod in his hand.

Behind him stands a man and a woman.

The man is dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, with a stern face and eyes keenly scanning the surroundings.

The woman is wearing a qipao.

Her figure is graceful, her appearance charming.

Her eyes fixed motionlessly on the middle-aged man.

Suddenly.

Ripples appeared on the calm water surface.

But it wasn't a fish biting the hook.

Instead, it was at the estate's dock not far away.

A speedboat started up.

Racing swiftly towards this side.

In about one or two minutes.

The speedboat docked at the island's pier.

Another middle-aged man slowly got off the boat and was led by another man in a white shirt to the fisherman.

However.

He said nothing, made no movements, seemingly afraid to disturb the middle-aged man's fishing.

At last.

The bobber showed signs of movement.

The middle-aged fisherman jerked it up with force.

Perhaps it was a bit hurried.

The fish slipped off the hook.

The middle-aged man seemed a bit uninterested, throwing the fishing pole aside.

At that moment, a young woman stationed nearby leaned over and whispered, "Boss, Secretary Lv Xiaoyang from the city government has arrived."

The middle-aged man turned his head to glance at Lv Xiaoyang.

Lv Xiaoyang, looking timid and cautious, asked, "Mr. Fang, I hope I didn't disturb your fishing?"

The man picked up a towel by his side and, while wiping his hands, said, "Is the matter I asked you to handle settled?"

"Rest assured, Mr. Fang, it has been sorted out. Mayor Liu has agreed to make a move on Mei Jianxue's case."

Lv Xiaoyang seemed very intimidated by Mr. Fang.

He didn't dare to breathe loudly while speaking.

Mr. Fang gave a slight nod.

With a wave of his hand.

The woman in the qipao took a briefcase from a nearby rack and handed it directly to Lv Xiaoyang.

Seeing this, Lv Xiaoyang quickly said, "Mr. Fang, is this really necessary?"

"Take it, I don't like when people are overly polite."

Mr. Fang said.

Upon hearing this.

Lv Xiaoyang obediently accepted it right away.

He said, "Then I won't refuse it; if there's nothing else, I won't disturb your fishing, Mr. Fang."

Just as he was about to turn and leave.

Mr. Fang said, "Secretary Lv traveled far, it's late, stay the night before you head back."

Before Lv Xiaoyang could respond.

He continued, "Shuyue, arrange a room for Secretary Lv, let him relax."

"Yes, boss."

The woman in the qipao bowed slightly.

Pointed at the speedboat, and said, "Secretary Lv, please follow me."

"Thank you, Mr. Fang, thank you so much. In that case, Mr. Fang, I won't disturb you."

After speaking.

He followed the qipao woman back onto the speedboat.

With a sudden roar.

The speedboat returned to the opposite shore.

Led by Shuyue, walked towards the estate's main building.

"Boss, if Liu Yi plans to take action, should we prepare something as well?"

The young man standing behind Mr. Fang asked.

A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Mr. Fang's mouth.

He said, "I've heard that Chen Fang is quite shrewd, he managed to bring down both Ji Shuzhen and Li Xuan. I think we need not participate; once things get chaotic, Mei Jianxue, troubled with other matters, naturally won't have the time to deal with us."

"Yes, boss, I know what to do."

The young man nodded.

Now focusing on Lv Xiaoyang.

Following Shuyue into the opulent hall.

This is not his first visit.

Yet, the scene still left him wide-eyed.

What kind of estate is this?

It's practically akin to a palace.

"Secretary Lv, this way please."

Shuyue's words interrupted his amazement.

The two walked into the side elevator one after the other.

Shuyue in front, Lv Xiaoyang behind.

This angle perfectly showed Shuyue's graceful back and the slender white leg exposed through the slit of the qipao.

There's no denying.

Shuyue's figure is truly outstanding.

A natural allure.

Making Lv Xiaoyang can't help but think, if he could indulge in the thighs of such a woman, it'd be worth it even if he died.

The elevator dinged.

Shuyue extended her hand, courteously letting Lv Xiaoyang exit first.

After a gilded corridor of about ten meters.

They arrived at a Baroque-style wooden door.

"Secretary Lv, this is where you'll stay tonight."

"Alright, thank you, Miss Shuyue."

Lv Xiaoyang responded and then entered.

This is a highly decorated room, with a giant floor-to-ceiling window facing the bed, offering a view of the distant lake.

The scenery of the mountains and lake are all visible.

The atmosphere is downright exquisite.

Inside the room.

One glance reveals it's filled with expensive European furniture.

The coffee table hosts wine, high glasses, and even a full box of Cohiba cigars.

Each item exudes the scent of money.

"Ah, being rich is really great."

Lv Xiaoyang couldn't resist and let out a sigh.

At that moment, a soft knock came from the door.

He knew that the evening's exciting program was about to start.

"Come in."

After calling out.

Two young women dressed in kimonos walked in with small strides.

These two women, regardless of attire, appearance, or physique, were identical, clearly a pair of twins.

After the two greeted him in Japanese.

Lv Xiaoyang was taken aback.

Asked, "Are you Japanese?"

The two women gave a soft smile.

Stepped forward, one in front, one behind, held Lv Xiaoyang, and in broken Mandarin said, "Sir, we sisters will now assist you in bathing."

He didn't need to do anything.

Just had to open his arms.

The sisters effortlessly stripped Lv Xiaoyang.

Next.

Under their guidance.

They arrived at a nearby door.

Upon opening, it revealed an equally upscale bathroom.

It's no exaggeration to say, the bathroom is larger than many people's living rooms.
