The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Chapter 17: The Ruse of the Self-Inflicted Injury



If Chen Fang chose not to pursue the matter, there would still be a chance for things to turn around.

Like a lone lamp in the darkness.

Upon hearing this, Du Huai nodded again and again, tears and snot streaming down his face as he said, "Brother Chen Fang is right, I was deceived by others too. Someone called me to report prostitution, so I rushed over there."

Zhao Shoujiang became anxious upon hearing this.

He asked hurriedly, "Du Huai, think carefully, are you sure someone asked you to go there?"

His words already carried a warning.

He was trying to get Du Huai not to speak recklessly.

But at this moment, Du Huai, intent on keeping his police uniform, no longer cared about that.

He hurriedly said, "Yes, it was Zhang Wei'an from the Health Bureau. He called me saying that Brother Chen Fang was soliciting prostitution, and that's why I took people there. It was a trap he set."

"Vice County Chief Zhao, it was my negligence. Regarding this issue, the Health Bureau's party group will definitely handle it seriously."

Gu Jingshu was no fool.

No sooner had Du Huai finished speaking.

She took responsibility onto herself.

This way, Zhao Shoujiang found he could no longer say anything in his defense.

Like a mute person who has eaten coptis, suffering in silence, he could see that Chen Fang had used a self-sacrificing strategy, provoking Du Huai to attack him, and after forcing Du Huai into a corner, he had no choice but to confess Zhang Wei'an's involvement to save himself.

Since the situation had developed beyond control,

Zhao Shoujiang could only go down with the slope, otherwise, if Chen Fang were pushed into a corner, he might start lashing out recklessly.

He nodded and said, "All right, the Health Bureau must handle this affair properly. Call me when you need me to intervene, I have other matters, so I will take my leave now."

He arrived full of purpose, but left with a belly full of frustration.

Once in the car.

He took out his cell phone.

"Boss, has Chen Fang confessed?"

Upon receiving Zhao Shoujiang's call, Luo Lan asked excitedly.

"Confess my ass, Luo Lan, what kind of lousy idea did you come up with? Call that bastard Zhang Wei'an right now and warn him not to implicate others. Otherwise, I'll make him die without knowing how he died, got it?"

He had been hoping to take credit.

But instead, he ended up getting scolded.

Luo Lan felt wronged,

yet she knew something had gone wrong.

She could only meekly respond, "Vice County Chief Zhao, please calm down. I'm calling Zhang Wei'an right now."

"Once the matter is settled, meet me at the usual place."

With that.

Zhao Shoujiang hung up the phone.

The usual place to meet?

Upon hearing this phrase, Luo Lan felt a chilling tingle on her scalp.

Zhao Shoujiang had a habit; whenever he was in a foul mood, he liked to take it out on her, and it was the particularly violent kind.

Each time, leaving her bruised all over.

But what could she do about it?

Wasn't her fate firmly in his grasp?

On Zhang Wei'an's end.

The storm had just subsided.

One hand was still wandering over Juanjuan's body, not yet satisfied.

The other hand held a cigarette, leisurely puffing away.

Hearing the phone ring, he pinched Juanjuan's buttock and said, "Go get the phone."

"Okay."

Juanjuan got out of bed knowing Zhang Wei'an was watching her body, and deliberately wiggled her buttocks flirtatiously.

Upon seeing it was Luo Lan's number, he smiled broadly, "Director Luo, still not resting at this hour?"

"Zhang Wei'an, you are completely useless, can't even handle a simple task, what's the use of you? I warn you, if it was you who cooked up this scheme, if you dare to expose me and Vice County Chief Zhao, you'd better stop trying to get by in Changming County."

Zhang Wei'an had not even figured out what happened.

When the call was already disconnected.

Zhang Wei'an sat bewildered on the bed, only when the burning cigarette end scalded his hand did he remember to call back to inquire about the situation.

After one phone call.

Zhang Wei'an looked ashen.

He never would have thought that Chen Fang would turn the tables and counterattack so decisively.

It seems this time it's really over.

Half an hour later.

Chen Fang had already been taken into a hospital room in Changming County Hospital.

The duty doctor checked him over and thankfully it was all superficial wounds. There were no injuries to any muscles, bones, or internal organs, which was a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

Gu Jingshu was not reassured.

She went to the duty room to ask about the situation again.

Wen Mei, seeing Chen Fang with bruises on his face and burn marks on his arm, burst out laughing.

"I'm already in such a sorry state, and you're still laughing?"

Chen Fang asked.

Wen Mei covered her mouth, trying to stifle her laughter, and said, "You played the suffering ploy pretty smoothly, huh? But was it worth injuring yourself like this just to take down Zhang Wei'an?"

Chen Fang didn't want Wen Mei to know about the other matters.

He quickly changed the subject and asked, "Did that video work?"

Wen Mei replied, "I've already entrusted someone to deliver the video to Liang Abao. It shouldn't be long before he contacts me..."

"That's good, that's good. Um... I need to use the restroom."

Chen Fang said with a pinched face.

Wen Mei slapped him lightly and scolded, "What time do you think it is to be looking for a lady?"

"Ouch, that hurts, beauty, I meant I need to pee, urinate..."

Wen Mei misunderstood.

Her face turned red.

Chen Fang got up and walked into the restroom, only to suddenly hear a loud clatter follow by a series of groans from inside.

Wen Mei's heart raced with urgency.

She didn't care about anything else and pushed the door open and went in.

Before she could react,

her hands were pushed against the wall by Chen Fang, followed immediately by the touch of his warm lips.

"Have you gone mad? This is a hospital! Your wounds haven't healed yet!"

While enjoying the moment, Wen Mei's eyes looked uncertainly towards the door.

"Didn't you say you liked it exciting?"

Chen Fang said.

His nimble hands then slipped inside her clothes.

After just a little teasing, soft moans began to escape from Wen Mei's throat.

As their clothes were shed one by one,

two explosive souls instantly merged into one.

Suddenly.

Chen Fang stopped his movements.

Wen Mei, lost in the moment, was about to ask what was wrong.

Chen Fang put his finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet.

"Shh, your sister's back."

Sure enough.

The sound of high heels on the floor echoed in the hospital room.

"Huh, she was just here, where did she go?"

That was the voice of Gu Jingshu.

As the clicking of heels grew closer, both of them were certain, Gu Jingshu was now standing right outside the restroom door.

Both of their hearts raced to their throats.

In their haste, they had both forgotten to lock the door.

Just as they were praying that Gu Jingshu wouldn't open the door,

there was a clicking sound as the doorknob turned.

Gu Jingshu's head peeked in from the outside.

At that moment, the two of them, naked and in a compromising position, were caught in the act by Gu Jingshu.

The sudden visual shock always stuns people.

Seeing that Gu Jingshu was about to scream,

Wen Mei suddenly jumped up, covered her mouth with her hand, and forcefully dragged her inside.
