That night.

Guyang City Night World Nightclub.

In a luxurious private room.

A man in his thirties sat on the sofa.

Next to him sat another middle-aged man, none other than Zhao Yiping, who had just been promoted to Mayor of Wulan City.

Just yesterday, the provincial party committee's organization department had issued the transfer order.

Relieving Ji Yu of his duties as deputy secretary and mayor of Wulan City, he was reassigned to serve as deputy secretary and mayor of Runkou City.

Although it seemed like a lateral move.

For Ji Yu, it was somewhat depressing.

After all, Wulan City's economy ranked among the top in East River Province, while Runkou City, although bordering Wulan City, lagged far behind economically; moreover, at this critical juncture, the infrastructure projects in Guyang City's Economic Development Zone had already kicked off, and Wulan City's economy was set to climb a significant step, with promising achievements simply handed over to someone else.

But for Zhao Yiping, it was truly a moment of triumph.

From vice-hall to full-hall rank, it looked like only a half-step.

But for most people, that was an insurmountable chasm.

Zhao Yiping had also strived for this mayor position for a long time, and today, his wish was finally fulfilled.

More importantly, the middle-aged man before him had promised him that once Zhu Hanmin's term ended and he was transferred, the position of top leader in Wulan City would be his.

It really affirmed that saying.

Choice is greater than effort.

Ever since he found support in the mighty Hou Family, he truly began to soar to great heights.

The man by his side was surnamed Hou.

His name was Hou Yuanhui.

Yes, he was from the leading clan among Yuanjing's three major families, the Hou Family.

He was the eldest son of the family patriarch, Hou Yuanzheng, and the eldest grandson of the Hou Family.

Hou Yuanhui was 33 years old. At the age of 21, he founded the venture capital firm, Spearhead Investments. Although the company's name was rarely heard in the industry, those in the know were aware that Spearhead Investments was backed by the Hou Family.

"Mayor Zhao, congratulations," Hou Yuanhui said as he proactively raised his glass towards Zhao Yiping.

The title of Mayor Zhao sounded very satisfying to Zhao Yiping's ears.

He hurriedly raised his glass and said, "I still have to thank the leaders for their cultivation. Without the leaders, I wouldn't be able to be mayor."

"Hahaha... Mayor Zhao, you overstate it. I'll say it again, as long as Mayor Zhao remains loyal to our Hou Family, the future is not limited to just being mayor."

"Thank you, leader. Thank you, leader. Rest assured, after Guan Xiaoxian was arrested, I will take charge of restructuring the Boiling Point Group. When Sword Spirit Capital takes over Boiling Point Group, I will make sure it goes smoothly."

"Very good, very good," Hou Yuanhui nodded and said.

He emptied the wine in his glass in one gulp.

He asked, "Mayor Zhao, it's not often we're this happy. How about I take you to relax today?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yiping understood a bit.

He was not a lecherous man by nature, but today this procedure had to be completed; he knew that this was a test from Hou Yuanhui.

He nodded and said, "I'll follow the leader's arrangements."

Hou Yuanhui snapped his fingers.

The door of the private room opened.

A woman with a graceful figure walked in.

On the woman's body was barely more than a piece of sheer fabric, clearly revealing her high breasts and the forest between her legs under the light.

The sound of music gradually started.

The barefooted woman began to dance directly opposite the sofa.

The sheer fabric was already very light.

With each movement, all parts meant to be hidden were tantalizingly close to being revealed, which was incredibly seductive.

As the music grew more and more intense.

The woman's dance became more unrestrained.

Suddenly, she stuck out her tongue, placed a finger on it, her eyes hazy, and shaking her hips, she slowly walked towards Zhao Yiping.

Upon reaching him.

The woman spread her legs and sat down directly on Zhao Yiping's thigh.

Her upper body continued to twist, and then, her two hands picked up Zhao Yiping's hands and placed them on her ample chest.

A soft sensation rushed in.

Even Zhao Yiping gradually started to feel aroused.

"How about it? Mayor Zhao, is it comfortable?" Hou Yuanhui asked teasingly from the side.

By now Zhao Yiping's breathing had become somewhat rapid.

He nodded and said, "Comfortable, very comfortable, this feels really good."

Hearing this.

The dancing woman began to rub the butterfly she had been pressing against Zhao Yiping's thighs against his thighs even more.

Though it was through his pants.

The feeling was simply too wonderful.

He could clearly feel a warm current slowly spreading from his lower abdomen.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

The woman also felt Zhao Yiping's obvious change. Her slender jade hands unzipped his pants and reached inside. The moment her warm hand grasped the "banana," Zhao Yiping shuddered.

His body stiffened instantly.

Ultimately.

The woman fished the fellow out.

She knelt down.

Just as she stuck out her tongue, suddenly, with a clang, the door to the private room was pushed open.

The music stopped abruptly.

Because of the sudden entrance of an outsider.

The woman too stopped what she was doing.

And stood to one side.

The person at the door was none other than Zhao Yiping's secretary, Yang Shao.

Having his fun interrupted, Zhao Yiping, while stuffing his "weapon" back into his pants, yelled at Yang Shao, "Who let you in, get the hell out."

Having burst in on his leader's "good time."

Yang Shao too looked fearful.

But he quickly walked up to Zhao Yiping, whispered something into his ear.

Hearing Yang Shao's words, Zhao Yiping's face tensed up immediately and he rebuked, "What did you say? Say it again!"

Yang Shao swallowed and said, "News from the detention center, Chen Fang has been released on bail pending trial."

Hou Yuanhui, who had been indifferent, also tensed up and asked with a frown, "Chen Fang was released on bail pending trial? Who handled it?"

Yang Shao said, "It was approved by Secretary Zhang from the Wulan City Disciplinary Committee."

"Zhang Weiming? How could it be him? Impossible!"

Zhao Yiping heard the name and hurriedly pulled out his phone.

He dialed Zhang Weiming directly.

On the phone, Zhang Weiming admitted that he indeed signed off on Chen Fang's bail pending trial, but it was not a decision he made alone; it was Xu Li who had called him.

Zhang Weiming dared not fail to respect the Xu Family's face.

"Xu Li? Impossible! How could it be? Didn't he already make it clear that he wouldn't intervene?"

Hou Yuanhui asked in surprise.

A week earlier.

Which was the day Chen Fang was just sent to the detention center.

Upon learning of his wife's bad news, Xu Li flew from Yuanjing to Wulan City.

For the Xu Family.

Although Tang Zhuqing was hateful.

The exposure of this would be a huge joke.

His own wife turned out to be the murderer of the previous wife, and he, as the eldest son of the Xu Family, had been played like a fiddle the entire time. If the news spread within the circles of Yuanjing, the Xu Family would really lose all prestige.

So at that time, Xu Li's request was very simple.

No further investigation into Zhang Rou's death, and all responsibility for the mental hospital case would be placed on Guan Xiaoxian.

Though this was self-deception, they had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill.

For noble families, face is more important than the truth.

The next day.

Xu Jinxue was taken away by her father.

Although it was said that Xu Jinxue had also pleaded with her father to save Chen Fang for a long time, Xu Li would definitely not save Chen Fang. After all, Chen Fang was the instigator behind the entire affair. Xu Li hated him too much to even consider saving him.

And it was precisely because of this certainty.

That Hou Yuanhui arranged an assassination attempt on Chen Fang.

In doing so, everyone would turn their attention to the Xu Family, since it was obvious to anyone that Xu Li deeply detested Chen Fang.

Logically, Chen Fang should be dead in the detention center by now.

Not only had he not died, but he had also been bailed out by a phone call from Xu Li.

What exactly had happened today?

"Where is Chen Fang now?"

Hou Yuanhui asked Yang Shao.

Yang Shao took a deep breath and said, "I heard that after being picked up from the detention center, he was secretly taken to the airport. I checked, and he's booked on the earliest flight to Yuanjing..."
