Chapter 62 Three Fires
"I am, and you are...?"
Zhao Shoujiang also noticed something amiss from these people's attire and hastily stood up to speak.
The leading figure spoke without a smile, "We are from the Municipal Disciplinary Committee. We received Comrade Luo Lan's real-name report that you, during your term as Deputy County Magistrate, abused your power to accept bribes, condoned Gaoteng Plastic Particle Factory's pollution, causing tremendous loss to the people. You also manipulated Comrade Luo Lan's life, inflicting great harm on both her body and spirit. After obtaining approval from the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, we are now enforcing house arrest. Please come with us."
A real-name report from Luo Lan?
That was an outcome Chen Fang had not anticipated.
Zhao Shoujiang's face turned ashen.
He seemed to have difficulty standing.
He swayed a couple of times.
Then plopped down onto the ground.
"It's over, it's truly over this time..."
In front of everyone's eyes,
Zhao Shoujiang was dragged away by the people from the Disciplinary Committee.
Then, Mei Shikang was sent back to the hospital.
The reason was that he was somewhat delirious, babbling nonsense incessantly.
It wasn't until three days later,
that the hospital announced some news.
Mei Shikang, due to the immense mental stress, had become delirious and could no longer fulfill his duties as the deputy director of the Safety Supervision Bureau.
And thus,
Zhao Shoujiang and Mei Shikang ended their careers three days apart, bringing a close to this sensational drama.
"Come, let's talk in your office."
Watching Zhao Shoujiang and Mei Shikang being taken away in succession,
Xu Lianyun stood up and said to Chen Fang.
One after the other, they entered Chen Fang's office.
As soon as the door was closed, Xu Lianyun stood in the middle of the office and began to strip off her clothes piece by piece.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Fang asked.
Xu Lianyun gave a seductive smile and replied, "Healing sickness, what else?"
After saying that,
she grabbed Chen Fang's hand and guided it directly towards her lower body.
Whispering, "Touch me, it's already flooded down there."
Indeed,
just a light touch,
his hand was already sticky.
"But everyone is waiting for us,"
Chen Fang said somewhat worriedly.
Xu Lianyun didn't care about that.
She pushed Chen Fang onto the couch, saying, "I'm going to be the Deputy County Magistrate soon. The longer I talk with you, the less likely anyone will dare to touch you. I'm doing this for your sake."
"For my sake? I think it's more for your own,"
Chen Fang chuckled.
Xu Lianyun couldn't wait and skillfully pulled down his pants, expertly mounting him.
Another round of mad riding ensued.
By the time they finished, a whole hour and a half had passed.
Xu Lianyun lay sprawled on the couch, still shivering uncontrollably even after the end, her two white rabbits leaping up and down, utterly tempting.
Chen Fang heaved a long sigh.
Asking, "How was it?"
"Amazing, so good. I don't know how many times I 'died'. You're wickedly skilled," Xu Lianyun cooed as she sat up.
She wrapped her arms around Chen Fang's neck, saying, "You've really got me now, I can't leave you anymore. But then again, how did you know I would be promoted to Deputy County Magistrate? I hadn't received any hint of this happening."
Chen Fang smiled slightly.
And replied, "Because I fought for that Deputy County Magistrate position for you."
"You? Are you joking?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
This left Xu Lianyun completely stunned.
"How did you do it?"
"It wasn't me who did it, but Zhang Cheng helped me do it."
"Zhang Cheng? Tiancheng Group's Zhang Cheng? How could he possibly help you?"
Xu Lianyun was even more astonished now.
Chen Fang didn't keep her in the dark,
explaining the whole process in detail.
Xu Lianyun suddenly had an epiphany, nodded, and asked, "Was Luo Lan's incident also set up by you?"
"No, I didn't know she would sacrifice herself to report Zhao Shoujiang."
Chen Fang said.
Xu Lianyun let out a long sigh.
She said, "I understand now, she did it to repay you."
"Repay me? What do you mean?"
"The saying goes that if you don't kill the snake, you suffer its venom. This failure will make Zhao Shoujiang completely lose his reason, and who knows what crazy things he might do to you. You gave Luo Lan freedom, and she repaid you with smooth sailing. Regardless, she has shown genuine sentiment and loyalty."
Was it really so?
Chen Fang, hearing Xu Lianyun's analysis, felt a corner of his heart tremble slightly.
"Sister, is there still a chance to save Luo Lan?"
"You want to save her?"
"Hmm."
Chen Fang nodded.
Xu Lianyun pondered for a while and said, "She's an accessory, and she has been under Zhao Shoujiang's control for many years, plus she is the victim and she turned herself in, her position should be secure, but she definitely won't be able to escape some kind of disciplinary action."
"Then I'll ask Sister to save her."
Chen Fang said.
Xu Lianyun chuckled softly, "I can save her, but..."
Chen Fang knew exactly what her wicked thoughts were.
His finger trailed up her thigh, inch by inch, until he reached the depths and plunged in.
Xu Lianyun's expression froze again.
A blush crept up her cheeks.
A low moan escaped her throat.
As his fingertip trembled.
Xu Lianyun's body tensed, and she gasped again and again, unable to stop.
Last time, the two of them had a "private conversation" in the conference room for over an hour.
This time, it was a full two hours.
By the time the two came out of the office, it was dark outside.
Although it was after hours, not a single person from the Safety Supervision Bureau had left.
Even Gao Jianzhao had been patiently waiting the whole time.
"Minister Gao, thank you for coming to help me."
Chen Fang spoke in a low voice as he helped Gao Jianzhao into his car.
Gao Jianzhao gave a bitter smile and said, "What are you talking about, brother? If my brother has an issue, as the older brother, how can I not come?"
Chen Fang smiled slightly and said, "Minister Gao, your nephew couldn't acclimate to staying at my place, and I've already arranged for someone to send him back. However, I still hope you'll take this as a lesson. If he wants to come and cause trouble again, I won't be so lenient in letting him go, okay?"
The words were spoken with a smile,
But they contained a threat.
Gao Jianzhao understood and could only respond with a forced smile.
He and Xu Lianyun were both summoned by Chen Fang's call.
His appearance today didn't help at all, yet Chen Fang still had him show up.
But Chen Fang didn't want him to deter Zhao Shoujiang.
Instead, his aim was to have him bear witness to the entire process.
By doing so, Gao Jianzhao naturally wouldn't dare to make any rash moves.
After all, he had seen Zhao Shoujiang's downfall with his own eyes.
After sending the two leaders off,
Chen Fang turned around,
and Office Director Tian Xingpo scurried up, chuckling, "Director Chen, it's getting late. How about I treat you to dinner?"
Tian Xingpo, this wily old fox,
had always been Mei Shikang's man.
Now, seeing Chen Fang seize control of the situation, he was scared half to death and immediately came forward to offer his eager services.
"No need for dinner. They say a new official sets fire three times, and I've already done my three fires. Director Tian can rest easy now."
With that,
he patted Tian Xingpo on the shoulder and left.
Chen Fang's three fires were each fiercer than the last.
The first fire directly removed Tang Weiping; the second fire scorched Mei Shikang, who nobody dared to touch; and the third was even more outrageous, as it directly extinguished Zhao Shoujiang.
Everyone in the Safety Supervision Bureau truly had their eyes opened this time.
Three days later, two heavy pieces of news reached the Safety Supervision Bureau simultaneously.
The first piece of news was that Mei Shikang, due to health reasons, had resigned from his position as the deputy director of the Safety Supervision Bureau.
The second was that Chen Fang was relieved of his duties as deputy party secretary and deputy director of the Safety Supervision Bureau and was reassigned to Fuguang Town to serve as deputy secretary of the party committee and acting town mayor.
Both pieces of news, like two bombs, exploded in the Safety Supervision Bureau at the same time.
