The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

The words had just been spoken.

Suddenly, the sound of synchronized footsteps came from the corridor.

Following the sound.

Four stern-faced individuals in black suits were walking toward them.

Each of them bore the party emblem on their chest, while one carried a black briefcase.

They headed straight to Liu Buxiang.

An older man among them scanned the crowd and asked, "Who here is Comrade Liu Buxiang?"

"I am, and you are..."

At the moment, Liu Buxiang hadn't realized the gravity of the situation.

He asked somewhat puzzled.

The man took out a badge and flashed it before him.

He said, "We are from the Disciplinary Committee of the Yuanjing City Health Bureau, Comrade Liu Buxiang, please come with us."

After speaking.

The badge was put away.

With a wave of the hand, he coldly said, "Take him away."

Two members of the Disciplinary Committee stood on Liu Buxiang's sides and quickly captured him.

"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? What are you doing?"

Liu Buxiang yelled as he was forcibly taken away.

This scene.

Many doctors and patients witnessed it.

Nobody could have anticipated that someone as distinguished as Liu Buxiang, a medical professor, would be arrested.

Dean Gu watched closely.

He couldn't help but gasp.

He fearfully said, "Miss Xu, rest assured, we will do everything possible to save your friend."

"I don't want to hear 'do everything possible'; the person must be saved and cured. Even if the King of Hell comes for her, you must send him away. Otherwise, you'll be next."

When saying this.

Xu Wanwan's face remained impassive.

As if discussing something entirely ordinary.

"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand, I will certainly, certainly do it..."

Dean Gu nodded repeatedly.

It was clear that even his lips were trembling.

"Mayor Chen, I've arranged everything for your sister here, including a caregiver. You don't need to worry about her treatment or daily needs."

Xu Wanwan looked at Chen Fang and said.

Owing such a large favor for no reason, Chen Fang felt uncomfortable inside, but he also understood that with his influence alone, he couldn't achieve such perfection.

He took a long breath.

He said, "Thank you, Miss Xu."

"Do you feel uncomfortable owing me a favor?"

Xu Wanwan asked.

Chen Fang was startled.

Could this woman see through people's thoughts?

After calming down, he smiled and said, "Favor is greater than the heavens, and since I already owe it, there's nothing I can do. I hope when Miss Xu asks me to repay it in the future, I won't be put in a difficult position."

Xu Wanwan chuckled at his words.

Indeed.

Her smile could truly be described with the words "radiant as a flower."

She covered her mouth and said, "Mayor Chen, don't worry. Right now, I'm giving you a chance to return the favor. Do you want to know what it is?"

"Please, Miss Xu."

"Tonight at eight, I need to attend a private banquet. Can Mayor Chen be my escort?"

Xu Wanwan asked.

Chen Fang wasn't a fool.

He knew such a big favor wouldn't be repaid in such a simple way.

Moreover, with Xu Wanwan's status and appearance, finding any man was effortless.

Therefore, tonight's private banquet must not be simple.

As if seeing Chen Fang's concern.

Xu Wanwan said, "Mayor Chen, you don't have to worry. It's just a small-circle private banquet, I won't reveal your identity to anyone, of course, if you wish to disclose it, that's not my business."

Having said this much.

If he were to refuse again, it would seem too pretentious.

After pondering.

He nodded and said, "Alright, I agree."

Upon hearing this answer.

Xu Wanwan was very pleased.

She took out a card and slipped it into Chen Fang's hand, saying, "At seven tonight, I will send a car to pick you up. This is my phone number; if anything arises, please reach out to me in advance."

After saying this.

As she was turning to leave, she seemed to remember something and asked, "Mayor Chen, do you need me to prepare attire for you?"

"Isn't this outfit okay?"

Chen Fang stretched out his arms and asked.

His dress today was quite simple.

A pair of jeans and sneakers on the bottom.

A baseball jacket on the top.

Looking both casual and relaxed.

He thought Xu Wanwan would certainly refuse.

Unexpectedly, she simply gave a faint smile and said, "Anything is fine; no need to insist."

After leaving this sentence.

Came the sound of high heels clicking on the floor.

Click clack click clack...

Echoing in the hall.

In no time.

Her graceful figure completely disappeared at the doorway...

Outside the hospital doors.

A business car was already waiting.

As Xu Wanwan approached.

The car door opened automatically.

Seated on a chair inside.

Was a young woman, apparently younger than Xu Wanwan.

Her eyebrows and eyes bore some resemblance to Xu Wanwan.

But definitely not twins, at most, sisters.

Indeed.

This woman was Xu Wanwan's younger sister, Xu Zaozao.

Her attire was entirely different from her sister's.

Xu Wanwan appeared elegant and poised, exuding an aura of a commanding woman.

Whereas Xu Zaozao sported shoulder-length hair covered by a baseball cap, a loose white T-shirt on top, and sporty pants and sneakers below.

More like a youthful student style.

"Sis? Why did it take so long, I even took a nap."

Xu Zaozao said with a pout.

Xu Wanwan smiled softly, took a long breath, and said, "Today's trip was really worth it; we scored a huge advantage, and the task Dad assigned us is accomplished."

Xu Zaozao, however, did not appear overjoyed.

Instead, she showed disdain.

She said somewhat grudgingly, "I think Dad is getting senile. Why does he value a young guy in his thirties so much that both sisters have to step in? I see it as him being inclined to sell his daughters."

"What do you mean?"

Xu Wanwan asked.

Xu Zaozao suddenly became animated.

She said, "Dad definitely thinks that if you can't handle it, then let his other daughter, me, take over. In any case, we must win over this Chen Fang. If this isn't selling daughters, then what is?"

Xu Wanwan's gaze became profound.

She said coldly, "Zaozao, if you talk like this again, don't blame me for being unfriendly. Dad's conflict with Lin Shuwei has been deepening these past two years. If we don't help him, who will? Don't just talk about me managing Chen Fang; even if I have to sacrifice myself, I'm willing to..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zaozao stuck out her tongue.

Though outwardly she complied, deep down she remained incredibly puzzled.
