Chen Fang stretched lazily.

He said, "Secretary Liu insists on having Zhang Jiangming preside over the Public Security Bureau's work. I want to know, if something were to happen with Comrade Zhang Jiangming, I wonder who among those present will assume this responsibility?"

"I will! Since I nominated Comrade Zhang Jiangming, I, Cui Weiguo, will take full responsibility for any issues. I wonder if this answer satisfies you, Secretary Chen?"

Cui Weiguo declared, thumping his chest.

Chen Fang nodded slightly and said, "Since Secretary Cui has said so, my opposition would be meaningless. You all decide."

Seeing Chen Fang compromise,

Liu Mingkai's heart blossomed with joy.

In his view, Chen Fang had been completely suppressed by him.

He said with a smug look, "As the ancients said, those who know the times are outstanding. Secretary Chen, sometimes, you need to change your temper. Always going against everyone's opinion isn't personality—it's foolishness, you know?"

To speak up like this during the standing committee meeting was already quite audacious.

But Liu Mingkai didn't care.

He wanted to humiliate Chen Fang, to grind his face into the ground.

At that moment, he was immersed in the pleasure of victory.

After the meeting ended.

Chen Fang had just returned to his office.

Ling Li pushed the door open and complained, "What on earth is Ren Yiweng thinking? How could he support Zhang Jiangming? I didn't expect him to be so fickle. I guess I misjudged him."

Looking at Chen Fang again,

his face was all smiles.

Startled, he said, "How can you still laugh? Zhang Jiangming presiding over the Public Security Bureau means all the efforts you and Director Pei made earlier were in vain. He will definitely eliminate all the evidence against them."

"I know,"

said Chen Fang.

"If you already knew, why aren't you worried at all?"

Ling Li asked in surprise.

Chen Fang smiled slightly and said, "If we don't let the enemy win sometimes, how will they become reckless? If Heaven wants to destroy them, it first makes them mad, right?"

"You already have a plan?"

Ling Li asked.

Chen Fang said, "Everything is ready; we just need the east wind. The time is almost here; the east wind should be arriving soon."

As soon as he finished speaking,

there was a knock on the office door.

Chen Fang grinned and said, "Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives; the east wind is here."

The door opened.

Yu Zhengchuan walked in,

handing a folder to Chen Fang and saying, "The lab report came out. Just as you expected, Xu Xianzhen and Xiaoxue are not sisters, which means Xu Xianzhen is not Xu Li's daughter."

"What? Xu Xianzhen is not Xu Li's daughter? Then whose daughter is she?"

Hearing this explosive news, Ling Li widened his eyes and asked the two.

Chen Fang laughed and said, "You'll know the answer soon…"

…

It was ten-thirty in the morning.

At the top floor of the Fangyuan Hotel.

There was a swimming pool there.

In the large pool, there was only one person swimming, none other than Tang Zhuqing.

The skimpy bikini covered the private areas, and her graceful figure fluttered on the water, even at nearly fifty, her physique was still enough to make men's blood surge.

Suddenly,

a hurried footsteps sounded.

At the entrance of the pool,

the bodyguard Ah Ping hurried to the edge of the pool.

"What's the matter?"

Tang Zhuqing emerged from the water and wiped the water off her face, asking.

"Madam, the Secretary of the Guyang City Disciplinary Committee, Chen Fang, has come to visit you,"

said Ah Ping.

"Chen Fang?"

Tang Zhuqing furrowed her brow. She had heard the name but hadn't met the person. She scoffed and said, "Another sycophant, tell him I don't have time to meet him."

Ah Ping still looked hesitant to speak, prompting Tang Zhuqing to ask, "Why haven't you gone yet?"

Ah Ping said, "This Chen Fang says he knows the whereabouts of Miss Xiaoxue."

"Oh?"

Tang Zhuqing, who had thought about diving back into the water, suddenly stopped.

After a moment of thought, he said, "Bring him here."

"Yes!"

Ah Ping responded and turned to leave.

Five minutes later.

Chen Fang appeared by the poolside.

Tang Zhuqing did not immediately pay him any attention, continuing to swim back and forth in the pool.

About ten minutes later.

Tang Zhuqing climbed out of the pool, draped a towel over his shoulders, and slowly walked up to Chen Fang. He glanced at him, then asked suspiciously, "Secretary Chen, have we met before?"

"My face is quite common; nothing unusual if Mrs. Tang has seen it before,"

said Chen Fang.

Tang Zhuqing sat down on a lounge chair.

He picked up a glass of orange juice from the table, took a sip, and said condescendingly, "I heard you know the whereabouts of my eldest daughter?"

"Yes!"

"What do you want then?"

"I want a lot of things, which is why I came to visit personally this time, intending to have a good chat with Mrs. Tang."

As he spoke, Chen Fang also sat down in a lounge chair next to Tang Zhuqing.

Looking at him disdainfully, Tang Zhuqing said, "Secretary Chen, finding my daughter will naturally be rewarded, but if your demands are too egregious, I might not be able to meet them."

"No, I believe whatever I want, Mrs. Tang will satisfy,"

Chen Fang said with a smile.

Tang Zhuqing paused and asked, "That confident?"

"Of course."

"Then tell me first, where is my daughter?"

Tang Zhuqing asked.

Chen Fang pulled an envelope from his pocket, pushed it across to Tang Zhuqing, and said, "Mrs. Tang, before discussing official matters, I hope you'll take a look at something here. After viewing it, we can chat further."

Tang Zhuqing glanced at the envelope.

She slowly opened it thereafter.

Pulling out two photographs.

She carefully looked over the photographs and said, "What do these mean? I don't recognize the people in these photographs."

"Let me introduce them, Mrs. Tang. The girl in the first photograph is Lin Jiaya, and the girl in the second photograph is Yao Man. These two girls are patients at the Guyang City Psychiatric Hospital."

Upon hearing this answer,

Tang Zhuqing immediately flung the two photographs away.

As if they were jinxed.

She angrily said, "Secretary Chen, what are you doing? Why are you showing me this? What does this have to do with me?"

Chen Fang bent down, picked up the photographs again, and wiped off some droplets, saying, "These two girls have quite a connection with Mrs. Tang,"

"Nonsense, I don't know them at all!"

Tang Zhuqing shouted angrily.

Chen Fang said with a faint smile, "Indeed, you don't know them, but like you, they are Guan Xiaoxian's women. Except they were raped, and you were voluntary."

At this statement,

Tang Zhuqing looked horrified.

She abruptly stood up, pointed at Chen Fang and yelled, "Chen Fang, what nonsense are you spouting? Get out of here this instant!"

Unruffled, Chen Fang then pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket.

He unfolded it and presented it to Tang Zhuqing, saying, "Mrs. Tang, look at this paper before deciding whether to send me away!"

Tang Zhuqing took the paper in astonishment.

Just one glance made her shudder, her face of anger freezing over, replaced by boundless fear.

"How… how could you have this?"

She asked with a trembling voice.

Chen Fang exhaled deeply and said, "Mrs. Tang, what do you think the Xu patriarch would do if I sent this genetic test report to him?"

Tang Zhuqing's gaze became vacant.

She seemed lost as she sat down.

This was a DNA testing report.

It stated that there was no blood relationship between Xiaoxue and Xu Xianzhen.

This secret she had buried for many years.

If the Xu family were to find out, she knew her fate would be grim…
