The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Especially for Zhong Xiqian.

At that moment, she was crouching down.

Her pants had been pulled down to her knees.

Even more fatally, as Chen Fang turned around to rescue her, his crotch ended up facing her face, and in a sudden, unexpected movement, it bumped straight into her.

Chen Fang also felt somewhat embarrassed.

He hurriedly said, "I'll steady your body, you quickly wipe yourself, and then I'll help you onto the bed."

It had already come to this.

What else could be done?

Zhong Xiqian could only follow Chen Fang's instructions.

By the time she pulled on her pants and stood up, her face was red up to her neck.

It couldn't have been more embarrassing.

They looked at each other, speechless.

They didn't know what to say anymore.

Chen Fang picked her up again and walked out of the bathroom.

Just as he was about to lay her on the bed, a man's furious shout came from behind him, "What the hell are you doing?"

He gently set Zhong Xiqian down.

Chen Fang only felt his back being yanked.

Before he had time to see who the person behind him was, a fist smashed toward his cheek.

The strike was fierce.

With a thud.

Chen Fang staggered and crashed heavily against Zhong Xiqian's hospital bed.

"Zhang Chenbo! What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Zhong Xiqian also got angry and yelled at the man.

Only then did Chen Fang see clearly that the assailant was a man in his twenties, about the same height as himself, with a slicked-back hairdo and wearing a crisp suit that obviously was quite expensive.

Zhang Chenbo?

Wasn't that Zhong Xiqian's boyfriend?

The young master of the Juming Group.

The anger that had surged in his heart also subsided by half.

Not because he was afraid of him, but because the other party was Zhong Xiqian's boyfriend, and seeing his girlfriend being held by another man, he himself would not have been able to stand it either.

"Qianqian, was he making advances on you? Damn it, so bold to touch my woman, someone come!"

Zhang Chenbo shouted angrily.

At the door, four men in black suits quickly walked in.

A conflict was about to erupt.

The driver who had called earlier hurried in and stammered to Zhang Chenbo, "Young Master Zhang, there's been a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. He's the lady's lifesaver, he's the one who rescued the lady from the mountain, otherwise she would have been dead right now."

"Lifesaver?"

Hearing this.

Zhang Chenbo frowned.

Then he reached out to someone nearby.

A man in a black suit opened the briefcase he was carrying.

He took out a stack of money and placed it in Zhang Chenbo's hand.

Zhang Chenbo waved the money a bit.

It looked to be about thirty to fifty thousand.

He directly slapped the money onto Chen Fang's chest, saying, "A lifesaver, huh? Fine, take this money and get out of my sight now!"

"Zhang Chenbo! Have you lost your mind?"

Zhong Xiqian yelled at him again.

But Zhang Chenbo seemed not to hear her at all.

Staring at Chen Fang, seeing that he didn't move, he sneered and said, "Not enough, huh? No problem."

Then.

He took roughly another fifty thousand.

He waved it a bit.

Said, "Never seen so much money in your life, right? Now it's all yours, you can take the money and disappear from my sight."

"Chen Fang, don't mind him, he's not right in the head sometimes."

Zhong Xiqian hurriedly said to Chen Fang.

Chen Fang took the money in his hand, smiled, and said, "Then thank you, Young Master Zhang, for the reward."

Having said that.

He turned to Zhong Xiqian and said, "Miss Zhong, your boyfriend really is something."

After dropping that remark, he walked through the crowd and left.

Chen Fang had just left.

Zhang Chenbo snorted coldly, saying, "What savior, he just knows your status and wants to score some money. Just look at that bird's appearance, his eyes turned red as soon as he saw the money."

"Zhang Chenbo, aren't you being too much?"

Zhong Xiqian exclaimed angrily.

Zhang Chenbo waved his hand dismissively.

The underlings who had entered, one by one, obediently filed out.

Then, licking his face, he smiled, quickly grabbed Zhong Xiqian's hand, and asked, "How are you? That pathetic man didn't do anything to you, right?"

"Young Master Zhang Chenbo, thanks for your concern, I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and the first thing you ask upon arriving is whether that man touched me inappropriately. It seems you are not here to visit me; you're here to monitor me."

Zhong Xiqian gave him a cold look.

She then lay down directly.

It seemed she was genuinely angry.

Zhang Chenbo quickly pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "I am just worried about other men harboring ill intentions toward you. Society is very dark these days, that man looked destitute, he definitely had ulterior motives, I couldn't let you be deceived."

"Without him, I would have died."

Zhong Xiqian said.

Zhang Chenbo still remained unconvinced.

He said, "So I should be thankful to him, right? Look how happy he was to get the money. Alright, baby, don't be angry."

"Young Master Zhang."

At the door, a young man dressed in a black suit called out softly.

"Scram! Can't you see I'm talking to Qianqian?"

Zhang Chenbo didn't even turn his head as he snapped back.

The man in the black suit looked embarrassed but still swallowed hard and said, "The man who just left, he put all the money into the lady's hospital fees."

Zhong Xiqian, covered with a blanket.

Upon hearing this news.

She suddenly threw off the blanket.

It was obvious that she was surprised by the news.

"Oh? Is that so? It seems this kid is playing the long game."

Zhang Chenbo muttered.

Seeing Zhong Xiqian glaring at him angrily, he quickly changed his tune, "Alright, Qianqian, I won't say anymore, he is a good man. I'll personally thank him someday."

Despite his words.

The jealousy in his heart was growing stronger.

Leaving the clinic.

Chen Fang was in a good mood.

Though the investigation in Chagang Village had been aborted, saving a life was more meritorial than building a seven-level pagoda.

Zhang Chenbo's oppression didn't bother him at all.

After all, there is a class difference between people, and such behavior from a spoiled young master like Zhang Chenbo was actually normal.

Humming a tune.

He suddenly saw Guo Zheng running towards him from a distance.

Chen Fang was startled.

He then remembered.

He hadn't seen Guo Zheng since he had admitted Zhong Xiqian into the hospital room.

"Boss, something big has happened!"

As soon as Guo Zheng reached Chen Fang, he gasped for breath and spoke.

"What happened? What's the matter?"

Chen Fang asked.

Guo Zheng pointed towards the northeast sky with his finger.

Chen Fang fixed his gaze, and his heart instantly rose to his throat.

He saw thick smoke billowing in the northeast sky, a huge plume of smoke rising from the ground, darkening the sky.

"It's... it's a fire, there's a fire over there..."

Guo Zheng shouted in panic.

"Where?"

Chen Fang asked.

"The... the warehouse of the Bamboo Products Cooperative in Songlin Village, it's the warehouse that's on fire."

"What?"

Chen Fang's heart clenched instantly.

A very strong, ominous premonition instantly surged through his mind.
