Tianjing Lake Tourist Resort Area.

The lake, shrouded in nightfall, shimmered with sparkling waves, striking a scene full of poetic charm.

On the hillside of the scenic area stood a luxury villa, nestled amidst lush branches and leaves.

A Rolls-Royce made its way along the winding path.

Soon, it arrived at the entrance of the villa's courtyard.

The heavy bronze iron gates slowly opened.

The Rolls-Royce drove in.

As the car door opened, a beautiful leg stepped out.

This person was Tang Zhuqing.

Today, she was wearing a very short hip-wrapped skirt, her long legs shining white under the moonlight, appearing very enticing.

Swinging her hips.

She made her way into the living room of the villa.

At this moment, Guan Xiaoxian, dressed in a robe, was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting his mind, surrounded by the elegant sound of a piano. This life could be quite pleasant indeed.

Hearing the sound of high heels clacking on the ground.

Guan Xiaoxian opened his eyes.

As soon as he saw Tang Zhuqing, he immediately stood up and walked over to welcome her, wrapping his arms around her waist and attempting to press his lips onto hers.

Tang Zhuqing pushed Guan Xiaoxian away disgustedly.

She walked over to the sofa, sat down, and crossed one leg over the other.

"Baby, what's wrong? Why do you seem so unenthusiastic?"

Guan Xiaoxian asked obsequiously.

Tang Zhuqing gave him a disdainful glance and snapped, "Useless fool, you can't even handle a small matter. What use are you to me?"

Guan Xiaoxian was startled.

He quickly sat down opposite her.

He asked, "What exactly happened?"

Tang Zhuqing took two photos out of her bag and threw them at Guan Xiaoxian.

Guan Xiaoxian picked them up and took a look.

He instantly froze.

Taking a deep sigh, he said, "I've already taken care of this, there won't be any more trouble."

"Really?"

Tang Zhuqing asked with a cold look in her eyes.

"Yes, yes, Zhang Jiangming is already cleaning up. I guarantee that not a trace will be left behind," Guan Xiaoxian answered meekly.

Tang Zhuqing spoke languidly, "That matter is not a problem anymore, but another one has blown up. I came here today to discuss with you how we should handle this."

"Oh? What is it?"

Just as Guan Xiaoxian finished his question,

he felt something pressed against his head.

He shuddered, turning around to find his face turning pale with fright. Behind him stood Ah Ping, Tang Zhuqing's personal bodyguard, with a pistol gripped in his hand, its barrel pressed against Guan Xiaoxian's head.

"Qingqing, what are you doing?"

Guan Xiaoxian asked frantically.

Tang Zhuqing, with her arms crossed, said, "Xiaoxian, don't blame me for being ruthless. Zhenzhen's origin has been uncovered. You know the severity of this outcome. Now, I have no choice but to ensure you're permanently silenced. Only then can our secret remain undiscovered."

Upon hearing this,

Guan Xiaoxian's body trembled uncontrollably.

He swallowed hard and said, "Qingqing, I've done so much for you over the years. Without me, you wouldn't be where you are today. How can you bring yourself to kill me now?"

"Hahaha..."

Tang Zhuqing suddenly burst into laughter.

Her laugh echoed in the living room, sending shivers down one's spine.

She said, "Xiaoxian, this world operates on the law of the jungle. You know, I come from nothing, and I worked hard to get to where I am today. I definitely don't want everything I've achieved with so much difficulty to vanish into thin air. So now, I have to sacrifice you. Don't worry, I'll make sure your offspring becomes the heir of the Xu Family. That way, you wouldn't have lost your life in vain for her."

"Tang Zhuqing! You're so cruel!"

Guan Xiaoxian chided through clenched teeth.

Tang Zhuqing took out a small jar from her bag and said airily, "Survival of the fittest. You should have anticipated this day from the moment you started doing things for me."

After saying that,

she had already opened the jar in her hand.

She poured some powder into the tea in front of her, then shook the cup and pushed it towards Guan Xiaoxian, saying, "Two choices: first, drink it and leave a complete corpse; second, Ah Ping shoots you and we dump your body in Tianjing Lake. Your call."

Watching Tang Zhuqing's resolute demeanor,

Guan Xiaoxian's face turned ashen.

He suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "When Chen Fang told me you would kill me, I didn't believe it at all. I never thought I was just a stepping stone to you. Now that I think about it, it's really quite sad."

"What did you say?"

Hearing Guan Xiaoxian's words,

Tang Zhuqing shuddered.

The look of terror on Guan Xiaoxian's face suddenly turned indifferent, and he shouted, "Secretary Chen, you can come out now. Since she's heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous. What do you want to know now? I'll tell you everything."

With that said,

Tang Zhuqing became even more nervous.

Her eyes scanned the surroundings.

At the entrance of the living room staircase, a figure emerged, none other than Chen Fang.

"You... how could you be here?"

Seeing Chen Fang, Tang Zhuqing was very surprised.

Her voice trembled.

Chen Fang merely smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. Tang, you didn't really think I'd be foolish enough to ask for your help, did you?"

At that moment,

It was as if she had been struck by a thunderbolt.

Tang Zhuqing seemed to have realized something.

"I understand now, I understand. You've been acting all along, haven't you? You were just forcing me to make a move on Guan Xiaoxian so that you could reap the benefits."

Tang Zhuqing yelled.

Chen Fang retained his signature smile and said, "It's mutual, isn't it? Mrs. Tang, you've been acting all along too. If Chen Fang didn't play along, wouldn't that be disappointing? Besides, with Zhang Rou and Xu Xuchuan dead for so many years, how else could I uncover the truth about the past without doing this?"

A sense of being toyed with welled up inside her.

At this point, Tang Zhuqing had no need for pretense.

Pointing in Chen Fang's direction, she ordered, "Ah Ping, kill him! Shoot him dead!"

Ah Ping's gun just started to point towards Chen Fang.

In the blink of an eye, an ashtray flew from the side, hitting him squarely on the temple. With a muffled groan, Ah Ping fell to the ground, and the gun flew from his grasp.

Just as he was stumbling to pick up the gun,

a foot had already stepped on the barrel.

Looking up,

it was none other than Hua Limo.

This twist of events was something Tang Zhuqing had not anticipated at all.

The situation was beyond her control,

yet she did not show a hint of fear.

With a sneer, she said, "Chen Fang, even if you have plotted against me, what can you do? Do you think someone of your rank can touch me?"

"How will we know if we don't try?"

Chen Fang retorted.

Just then, Tang Zhuqing nonchalantly took a seat and lit a cigarette.

She took a drag,

and said, "Today, you won't take Guan Xiaoxian away! Not just him; I'm afraid you won't be able to leave either."

After saying that,

she snapped her fingers.

At the villa's entrance, two cars drove in, one after the other.

The door of the leading car opened, and out stepped the Political and Legal Committee Secretary, Cui Weiguo, followed by the Deputy Chief of the Public Security Bureau, Zhang Jiangming.

Behind them, four or five people swiftly entered the living room.

They surrounded Chen Fang and his group.

It had always been thought that Zhang Jiangming was Guan Xiaoxian's man, but now it seemed that he had always been Tang Zhuqing's.

"Secretary Chen, what did I just say? You can't take Guan Xiaoxian, and now you should believe my words, right?"

From the sofa, Tang Zhuqing spoke with ease.

Chen Fang was not worried either.

He sat down opposite Tang Zhuqing,

Crossed his legs and said, "Mrs. Tang, do you really mean to kill us in front of all these people?"

Hearing this, Tang Zhuqing laughed heartily and responded, "Why not?"

Zhang Jiangming snorted coldly and said, "These people were personally trained by me; they will carry out my orders unconditionally. After you all die, the scene will look like Guan Xiaoxian killed you and your men, and then he will commit suicide. There will be no flaws whatsoever."
