Chen Fang had thought that Yang Xi would be the most embarrassed to show her face.

He was wrong.

She stood with her hands on her hips.

Addressing the mocking Chu Jindai, she said, "What? Are you jealous of Chen Fang? Jealousy is useless, brother, I don't fancy you."

"Pfft, you think I fancy you?"

Stumped by that retort, Chu Jindai hesitated for a moment, then immediately shot back.

"Of course, who doesn't know that our Master Chu only has eyes for the dregs? A toad only pairs with a toad. Did you really think you could get a swan?"

Yang Xi's words not only stunned Chu Jindai and the others.

They also stunned Chen Fang.

This woman was indeed fierce.

For a moment, Chu Jindai was at a loss for words.

He muttered resentfully, "Keep showing off, I want to see how you can keep it up later."

After saying that,

he waved his hand,

and left with Bai Yi.

Yu Sheng came downstairs and approached Chen Fang, saying, "The Disciplinary Committee just called us in for a talk to inquire about your relationship with Yang Xi. I just told them the truth. How the other two responded, I have no idea."

"Good, thank you."

Chen Fang patted Yu Sheng on the shoulder.

He then arrived at the entrance to the Disciplinary Committee.

The door was open.

Inside, one could hear the intense discussion going on.

Not long after Wang Xiaoyan went in, she came out again.

She walked in once, and by then, several leaders from the school's party committee had already assembled.

Each one of them looked at them with grim eyes.

Vice Principal Li Li cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Since the establishment of our Party School, we have never had an incident of such severe nature. The issue of relationships between men and women has always been a red line in our school disciplines and regulations. You two have been overly bold and reckless, skipping classes to have an affair. If we do not handle this seriously, the reputation of our party school built over a hundred years might just be destroyed by you two."

The Secretary of the Committee Xu Qingyang nodded and said, "After the party committee's investigation, the decision on how to handle this has been made. Comrades Chen Fang and Yang Xi, you two have severely violated the school's rules and regulations; we have decided to expel you from the party school, send you back to your original place of residence, and wait for the local Disciplinary Committee there to deal with you."

After saying that,

he produced two documents with red headings.

He handed them to Chen Fang and Yang Xi and said, "Please sign here."

Direct expulsion.

This method of punishment was somewhat too severe.

And judging by their attitude, they seemed to have no intention of thoroughly investigating the matter.

It was the annual training program.

I wonder how many section-level officials dream of attending it.

Now, well, having been in school for just a month, they were expelled, and whether they could return to their original positions was uncertain, but at least the two had become a joke throughout the province.

Even if they were to be reinstated,

their subsequent careers were essentially over.

"I refuse to sign."

After Chen Fang spoke, he tore the document into pieces.

Xu Qingyang was about to get angry.

Li Li interrupted him, saying, "Whether you refuse to sign or not, this is the outcome decided by the school's Party Committee. You have to accept it unconditionally. Your personal belongings have already been packed; you can leave the campus now."

After saying that,

he glanced at the doorway.

Chen Fang turned around to look.

He saw two military police officers already standing at the door.

What was this?

A ruthless solution?

Leaving no room for negotiation?

Chen Fang himself didn't care much, as he didn't want to drag Yang Xi down and was considering arguing a bit.

Then Yang Xi, following his lead, tore up her document too.

She said, "I also refuse to sign."

After dropping those words, she turned and left.

Well, I didn't see that coming; this woman actually had some personality.

Since Yang Xi had left,

there was no reason for Chen Fang to stay either.

As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said, "No matter who the person framing me is, rest assured, I will make them pay."

"Chen Fang, what do you mean by that?"

Xu Qingyang angrily rebuked.

Chen Fang, without a word, sneered and then left straight away.

The two men, escorted by the armed police, passed through the Party School.

There were hardly any people when they arrived.

When they left, the corridors of the teaching building and the dormitory were crowded with classmates they had spent a month with, who whispered among themselves. The scene was no different from the ancient practice of parading offenders through the streets.

They walked out of the Party School's gate.

Chen Fang had only one duffel bag.

And Yang Xi had only one suitcase.

The two men exchanged a look.

How desolate they appeared.

"Hungry? Let me treat you to a meal?"

Yang Xi said with a slight smile.

Chen Fang was startled and asked, "You seem not at all upset?"

"What's there to be upset about? Things have already happened, and being upset only adds to the annoyance, right? Life must go on, I surely can't handle such a blow by jumping off a building, it would be too unworthy."

Chen Fang gave him a thumbs up.

Then he saw a familiar face appear right in front of him.

It was none other than Jiang Chuo's secretary, Zhang Bangqi.

"Comrade Chen Fang, the leader is asking for you to come over,"

Zhang Bangqi said, pointing not too far away, where the provincial committee's car number three was parked on the fire access road.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you,"

Yang Xi said.

Chen Fang nodded, handed his duffel bag over to her, and said, "Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

In the car.

Jiang Chuo sat with his legs crossed, leisurely smoking a cigarette.

Chen Fang got in.

He directly threw out his cigarette butt.

He asked, "Fired?"

"As you wished, fired,"

Chen Fang said.

Jiang Chuo smiled slightly and said, "You're wrong, your dismissal wasn't my doing."

"No, it was your doing. If it wasn't for you, no one else would have been jealous of me, and naturally, no one would have tried to sabotage me. You played the game of killing someone with a borrowed knife very smoothly."

Chen Fang said, staring at Jiang Chuo's face.

Jiang Chuo was startled and wasn't angry but soon smiled and said, "So you've figured it all out?"

Chen Fang shook his head and said, "At first, I didn't know, but on my way back today, I figured it out."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Jiang Chuo asked with interest.

Chen Fang slightly smiled and said, "The relationship between the two of us, heaven knows, earth knows, you know and I know, so there's no need to elaborate. Logically, you wouldn't have kicked me even if I were grateful, let alone help me excuse my tardiness that day, which I found very strange."

According to typical logic.

Chen Fang should be entirely grateful.

But he wasn't.

Because he was very clear that the grudge between him and Jiang Chuo was irreconcilable.

Him bringing down Xiao Xiao couldn't possibly be overlooked.

What's more damning, Jiang Chuo was his mortal enemy, the murderer of his parents.

His biological parents and Tan Yandong likely died at his hands.

With such deep hatred, with Jiang Chuo's personality, how could he easily let it go?

The initial elevation at their first meeting definitely had a hidden catch.

"At first, I really couldn't understand, but then when you announced a 'Best Student' and others told me that the party school was just a formality, I realized. You deliberately set up this 'Best Student' to tell the school leaders that I was your protege. This would naturally make other leaders' proteges not sit idly by."

Chen Fang concluded.

Jiang Chuo appeared very satisfied.

He nodded and said, "Not bad, very insightful, so that means you already know who plotted against you, right?"

"Of course, he is indeed loathsome, and I can't just let it go, but you are even more despicable. If it weren't for your behind-the-scenes manipulation, such a thing probably wouldn't have happened. You great figures are just that, a slight stir from you can cause huge waves. I am truly impressed."

Chen Fang said.

Jiang Chuo chuckled.

He muttered, "No wonder Xiao Xiao died at your hands; looking at it now, it wasn't unjustified. But you should be very clear that even if you know the truth, you can't do anything to me, right?"

As he said this, there was a sense of superiority on Jiang Chuo's face.

A condescending look as if he towered above all.

As if Chen Fang was just an ant in his hand, who could be annihilated in an instant if he so desired.
