The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

We must know, at this moment, there are also plenty of law enforcement officers on the first floor of the restaurant.

Qin Shuqiang's wailing is very loud.

Presumably, the people downstairs can also hear it.

Even so.

No one came up to see what was going on.

"Let's go..."

The woman suddenly said to Chen Fang.

"What about him..."

Chen Fang pointed to Qin Shuqiang on the ground a little helplessly.

The woman smiled slightly.

Asked, "After what he did to you, do you still have any sympathy for him?"

"Uh..."

Chen Fang suddenly didn't know how to respond.

But the woman didn't want to linger and walked straight out of the room.

Left with no choice, Chen Fang could only follow.

At the entrance.

A business vehicle without a license plate was already waiting at the door.

The car door opened.

A young man looking like a driver was standing respectfully beside the car.

The woman got into the car.

Seeing Chen Fang still standing at the door, she said, "Where to? I'll give you a ride."

"No... no need, thank you for today."

Chen Fang said.

The woman smiled lightly, and asked, "You came to Yuanjing to rescue Hou Jingjing, right?"

Chen Fang suddenly shivered.

He walked to the car and asked, "How did you know?"

The woman patted the seat beside her with her hand, her meaning was very clear, she was telling Chen Fang, get in the car and I'll tell you.

There was no better choice now.

Chen Fang hesitated for a moment, but still got into the car.

After the car door closed.

Wei Guang returned to the front passenger seat.

The vehicle slowly started, leaving Huahua Restaurant.

At the same time, an ambulance with flashing sirens came in, unsurprisingly, it was here to rescue Qin Shuqiang.

"When a whale falls, all things thrive. With the downfall of the Hou Family, many in Yuanjing have been well-fed, especially those who opposed them, every household is celebrating, even busier than the New Year. This Qin Shuqiang, so late to realize, is still flaunting the Hou Family's power. Even if I don't deal with him, his outcome won't be good."

The woman also saw the ambulance and muttered a sentence.

"How do you know I came for Hou Jingjing, who exactly are you?"

Chen Fang, without the heart to listen to her comments, asked impatiently.

The woman didn't answer, instead, she interestingly re-examined Chen Fang and smiled, "They say you are a man of means, a once-in-a-century political genius. But to me, you seem foolish, not at all having the cunning and ruthlessness of a politician. I doubt if the Hou Family was really brought down by you."

"You haven't answered my question."

Chen Fang said.

The woman smiled and said, "Who I am doesn't matter to you. What matters is that your journey will be in vain. I assume you haven't met the person you wanted to meet yet?"

"You know who I want to see?"

Chen Fang asked.

The woman pondered for a moment and said, "The fall of the Hou Family is unstoppable. After Hou Jidao was arrested, none of the four siblings can escape. Under such circumstances, the only one who can save Hou Jingjing is Shangguan Shoudong. So, your trip to Yuanjing is aimed at him, right?"

Shangguan Shoudong?

This young woman dared to call his name directly.

We must know, even I have to call him Mr. Shangguan when I meet Shangguan Shoudong, proving this woman is indeed remarkable.

He had thought maybe this woman was a child of nobility.

Now it seems that the word "nobility" is not enough to describe her prestige, her background must be linked to top power.

"Yes, I came to see him."

Since it was so.

Chen Fang had no need to hide it.

The woman sighed.

Said, "Shangguan Shoudong won't see you, even if he gives you a chance to meet, regarding Hou Jingjing, he won't relent."

"Why? Without Hou Jingjing, he might already be dead."

Chen Fang couldn't help but blurt out.

The woman sneered

Said, "That's two different things. Hou Jingjing is indeed a key figure in this matter and played a crucial role. But her surname is Hou, which makes her fate sealed."

Chen Fang was taken aback.

Asked, "Is Mr. Shangguan afraid of Hou Jingjing's revenge?"

"Hou Jidao has been in politics for decades, not only an elder but also a leader. Over the years, he has nurtured a large number of direct disciples. From top to bottom, these people hold important positions in the high-level and local departments, which is why the Hou Family has stood firm for so many years."

"For a long time, the top wanted to overthrow the Hou Family but never had the chance. Do you really think Shangguan Shoudong was unaware of the Hou Family's big move this time? You are too naive."

Buzz!

Chen Fang shuddered inside.

Asked, "You mean Mr. Shangguan already knew what the Hou Family wanted to do in Xiaxiang City?"

The woman nodded slightly.

Said, "When the Hou Family's plan was just released, Shangguan Shoudong had already received intelligence. The reason he pretended not to know and insisted on going to Xiaxiang City was to deliberately let the Hou Family dig their own graves. Only this way, the Hou Family would face a catastrophe."

Could this really be the truth?

Chen Fang's gaze fell on the woman's face.

Took a deep breath.

Asked, "Can I assume that the Hou Family reached this point was also facilitated step by step by Mr. Shangguan?"

The woman smiled.

Said, "I just said you were incompetent, but it seems you have some brains after all."

During the period when Shangguan Shoudong held office in Yuanjing, he began to tighten the encirclement against the Hou Family step by step.

He knew very well.

If the Hou Family didn't do anything particularly outrageous, it would be like being stuck with an unshakeable tail, and no one could uproot them.

Under these circumstances.

Shangguan Shoudong began the all-around encirclement of the Hou Family.

Of course, these encirclements were on the surface.

If the Hou Family didn't respond or retreated to some extent, Shangguan Shoudong couldn't do anything to them.

At this time, a key figure was needed to play a catalytic role.

It was only after receiving explicit support from this key figure that Hou Jidao decided to act against Shangguan Shoudong.

Of course.

This conspiracy was ultimately exposed.

At this point.

Chen Fang curiously asked, "But the situation was very critical that day, the Hou Family had already gone mad. If Jiang Chuo hadn't suddenly arrived with people..."

Saying this.

Chen Fang paused.

He looked to the woman, astonished, and asked, "The key figure you mentioned, is it Jiang Chuo? On the surface, he's Hou Jidao's man, but in reality, he's Shangguan Shoudong's man?"

The woman hesitated.

Finally, she nodded.

"I'm not familiar with Jiang Chuo, but since Hou Jidao could buy him, Shangguan Shoudong could naturally buy him too. He was Shangguan Shoudong's insurance, and at the most critical moment, Jiang Chuo would certainly appear. In this way, Hou Jidao's conspiracy naturally got exposed..."
