The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

"Director Zhou, did the leadership send you here with any instructions?"

This was Niu Yong's voice.

Zhou Shengtie spoke, "The leaders are very pleased that you chose to turn over a new leaf this time. As for your betrayal last time, the leadership has decided not to pursue it."

Hearing these two sentences, Chen Fang felt a chill in his heart.

Niu Yong laughed and asked, "Then, about the matter the leaders promised me…"

"Rest assured, the leaders keep their word. The three million will be transferred to your account on time, and as for the investment that Chen Fang promised you, you can still take it, the leaders won't interfere."

Zhou Shengtie's words made Chen Fang understand the situation seventy percent.

This promise also made Niu Yong's heart bloom with joy.

He politely said, "Director Zhou, have some tea, have some tea…"

Then came the sound of brewing tea.

Zhou Shengtie said, "Boss Niu, during my visit this time, the leaders repeatedly emphasized that there is one item you must hand over."

"What item?"

Niu Yong asked.

Zhou Shengtie sneered and said, "Naturally, it's the murder weapon that killed Qi Hui. The leader's intention is for you to hand it over to him so he can dispose of it for you."

Niu Yong fell silent for a while.

He said, "Director Zhou, sorry, but I really can't hand that over. Pan Youde is dead, Qi Hui is dead, and I definitely need to keep something to save my own life. If I were to hand over the murder weapon, and the leader gave it to the police, wouldn't I be doomed?"

This statement was key.

As soon as he finished.

Both Chen Fang and Lulu heard it.

The two quickly exchanged a glance.

Obviously, Lulu's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Niu Yong committed the murder."

Chen Fang let out a long sigh and said.

Lulu frowned and said, "That's impossible, why would he do such a thing, just for three million, he actually…"

Chen Fang took off his earpiece.

Ready to head for the door.

Lulu grabbed him.

She asked, "Where are you going?"

"Where else? Do you expect me to become his scapegoat?"

"This is Jin Ye Hui, and you came here alone, how can you possibly stand against him?"

Lulu said anxiously.

Chen Fang shrugged off her hand and said, "I don't care anymore, even if I die today, I want to clear this up!"

Having said that.

He opened the door.

Bang!

The door to the tea room was kicked open by Chen Fang.

The loud noise startled the two men inside.

When Niu Yong saw Chen Fang, he was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out.

He quickly stood up and asked in astonishment, "Chen Fang, how are you here?"

"Surprised? If I weren't here, I wouldn't have heard the truth about your set-up, would I? Niu Yong, oh Niu Yong, I treated you like a brother, and you treat me like a sucker?"

Chen Fang raged.

At this moment, Zhou Shengtie.

Upon realizing that the man before him was Chen Fang.

Also shakily tried to reach for his cell phone.

But due to fear, the phone clattered to the floor; after being glared at by Chen Fang's fierce gaze, he dared not pick it up.

Niu Yong also got a clear look at Chen Fang's outfit.

From the hospital gown visible under his jacket, it was clear to see that Chen Fang had escaped.

With this thought.

He sneered and said, "So what if I treat you like a sucker? Last time you had backup, but now you're all alone, you think I'm afraid of you?"

Having said that.

He pressed a button on the tea table.

In about a minute.

The sound of rapid footsteps came from outside.

Seven or eight lackeys rushed in.

Niu Yong pointed at Chen Fang and said, "Surround him."

In an instant.

These seven or eight men encircled Chen Fang.

Moreover, each of them was holding a machete in their hand.

If it were a bare-knuckle fight, Chen Fang might still stand a chance, but now, he had no hope of winning.

"Chen Fang, oh, Chen Fang, the underworld isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human feelings and worldly wisdom. What is worldly wisdom, you ask? It's deceit and backstabbing. Do you think I, Niu Yong, am a fool? To ignore perfectly good money and develop outside with you? In Jinde County, people call me boss, but outside, who the hell knows Niu Yong? You, just a minor Director of the Education Bureau, think you can turn the world upside down, change the status quo? Is that possible? You don't even weigh your own capabilities..."

"So, you've sided with Pan Youde's master?"

Chen Fang asked indifferently.

Niu Yong chuckled.

He said, "A good bird chooses a tree to nest in, a wise official chooses a leader to serve. When Pan Youde was around, I couldn't connect with the higher-ups. Now, thanks to your letter of challenge, I can get in touch with them. Why should I choose you over him? Am I a fool?"

"A worthless piece of trash can never stand tall; no wonder Zhang Cheng calls you a loser, you'll never make it to the big stage in your entire life."

Chen Fang stated.

"Hahaha... Whether I can make it to the big stage, I don't know, but for now, you're definitely left with nowhere to turn for help. I haven't yet reclaimed the face I lost last time and here you are, delivering revenge to my doorstep. Fine, I'll grant you your wish today."

After Niu Yong finished speaking,

he waved his hand.

The gang raised their machetes.

As a bloody conflict seemed inevitable, Chen Fang braced himself for battle.

Although he knew in his heart,

this fight was a sure path to death.

"Do it!"

Niu Yong finally gave the command.

Just as his underlings were about to make their move, suddenly, a domineering voice came through: "Everyone, stop!"

It was a woman's voice.

Everyone was stunned and looked towards the entrance.

There stood Lulu, dressed in a red outfit, slowly walking in with a murderous aura, exuding the air of a female boss.

Behind her were also a few followers, though fewer in number compared to Niu Yong's men.

"Lulu, what are you doing?"

Niu Yong scolded.

Lulu glanced at Niu Yong and said, "Niu Yong, do you remember why, after you chased me for so long, I finally agreed to be with you?"

"Why?"

Niu Yong asked.

Lulu replied, "Because at that time, I thought you were brave and righteous, with a bit of boldness, exactly the kind of man Lulu was looking for. Now it seems you're just a petty person. For a trifle gain, you even cast aside your most basic sense of shame."

"You... what the hell do you think you are? You're just a whore I took in, what right do you have to speak to me like this?"

Niu Yong was infuriated.

Pointing at Lulu, he shouted angrily.

Lulu's lips curled into a scornful smile, as she said coldly, "I don't have the right? Fine! If you dare, have them kill me!"

"Lulu, don't seek death! Get out of my way. After I take care of Chen Fang, I'll deal with you!"

As Niu Yong finished speaking,

he pointed at Chen Fang and yelled, "Cut him down!"

"I dare anyone to touch him!"

Lulu stood her ground.

And shouted loudly.

The underlings looked at each other, no one daring to move.

"Have you gone mad? Who's the boss, me or her? I told you to cut him down, to kill Chen Fang, get moving!"

Niu Yong was desperate.

He kicked one of his underlings in the buttocks.

But even so, no one made a move.

A look of contempt spread across Lulu's lips as she ordered, "Grab Niu Yong!"

At her command,

The seven or eight followers who had been called in immediately reversed their knives and turned them on Niu Yong.

Niu Yong was dumbfounded.

Utterly dumbfounded.

He never imagined that Lulu's word could be more powerful than his own.

With a sudden realization,

Niu Yong scoffed and said, "I get it, you bitch, have you slept with all these guys? Have they all had you, becoming your minions?"

Lulu replied, "Niu Yong, think about these past years. To ingratiate yourself with the leaders, you abandoned the dignity of a big brother. Besides messing around outside, when have you ever cared for your brothers? I worked hard to make the Tonight Club prosper, paying the brothers and taking care of them. Who do you think they would listen to?"

Indeed.

In the past few years, to manage the Tonight Club,

Lulu had put in efforts beyond what the average person could bear.

All the hostesses were personally trained by her.

As long as Tonight Club was open for business, Lulu was always there in the hall, handling various emergencies, to the point that everyone in the Club knew they could always find Sister Lulu near the bar.
