Chen Fang took a bathrobe from the wardrobe.

He walked to the door and slipped the bathrobe through the crack.

Hou Jingjing inside received the bathrobe.

Chen Fang then returned to the sofa.

About three minutes had passed.

The bathroom door opened.

Hou Jingjing, wrapped in the bathrobe and barefoot, walked out.

"Taking a bath is so refreshing."

After making that remark,

she walked straight to the refrigerator, took out two beverages, opened them, and brought them over to Chen Fang, then sat down opposite him.

"Thank you."

Chen Fang responded.

It was only then that he noticed.

The robe on Hou Jingjing was loosely tied, causing the neckline to droop.

A swath of fair skin on her chest was exposed.

The two round and supple breasts were also half-exposed.

This partially hidden charm was particularly enticing.

The lower body was the same.

Due to sitting on the sofa, the bathrobe had been pulled up to the top of her thighs.

And indeed, Hou Jingjing's long legs were quite impressive, both fair and slender.

The most private area was covered by the bathrobe, yet it felt like just a slight movement from her could reveal everything underneath.

The more you wanted to see, the less you could, which made it all the more tantalizing.

At that moment, Chen Fang, of course, paid no mind to this detail.

He still had his wits about him.

The woman in front of him was none other than the fourth young lady of the Hou family.

From Tang Zhuqing's actions, one could see that the Hou family was cunningly treacherous and ruthlessly decisive.

He certainly did not want to add any extra trouble for himself.

Cough, cough...

He cleared his throat.

Chen Fang took a sip of his drink and said, "Miss Hou, let's cut to the chase, what would you like to talk about? Let's get straight to the point, I don't want to waste time."

"Straightforward!"

Hou Jingjing commented.

In front of Chen Fang, she crossed her legs.

Just at the moment when her legs parted, Chen Fang inadvertently caught a glimpse of the scene between her legs.

It was fleeting.

He saw something, yet it was as if he saw nothing.

"You know I'm here for Hou Yuanhui, Deputy Mayor Chen, state your conditions. How can you release him?"

Hou Jingjing asked with a smile.

Chen Fang smiled faintly and said, "Alright, since Miss Hou is being so forthright, I'll speak plainly. Two conditions—first, the Hou family must not touch the Economic Development Zone; second, as long as Chen Fang is in Guyang City, no one from the Hou family can set foot here."

Hou Jingjing heard the conditions.

She paused for a moment and asked, "Are you drawing a line for the Hou family?"

"Yes!"

"Chen Fang, do you really think that with support from Director Xu and the two families, the Hou family wouldn't touch you? In the eyes of the Hou family, you're just an ant, easily crushed. Do you really think Director Xu and the two families would go all out for you? You're too naive."

Hou Jingjing said contemptuously.

Chen Fang nodded and replied, "Indeed, it was my idea to have Director Xu's and the two families join forces, but I'm not planning on joining their ranks."

Hmm?

This statement made Hou Jingjing pause for a moment.

"Do you know what you are saying?"

Hou Jingjing asked.

Chen Fang laughed, "Of course I know that the reinstatement was courtesy of Director Xu's two families, but I've also resolved the grudge between the two families over the years. I owe them nothing, and I will not allow the Hou Family to exploit the benefits of Guyang City. Naturally, I won't allow Director Xu's two families to act recklessly here either. This is Guyang City, and as long as I, Chen Fang, am here, Guyang City will belong to the people of Guyang, not to the likes of you aristocrats!"

Chen Fang spoke these words with resolute determination.

Even Hou Jingjing did not expect Chen Fang to utter these words.

In her view,

Chen Fang had already sided with Director Xu's two families.

He had become the spokesperson for Director Xu's two families in Guyang City.

She hesitated for a moment.

Then asked, "What if I don't agree to the conditions you're proposing?"

"It's simple. I will thoroughly handle the case involving Hou Yuanhui, and I will tack on every charge related to all the crimes until Hou Yuanhui is punished by law. I, Chen Fang, stand alone, with no parents, no wife, no children. I'm ready to risk my life if necessary to take a piece out of your Hou Family. I believe that even if I don't ask, Director Xu's two families would help me out, wouldn't they?"

Hou Jingjing's facial muscles twitched.

She hadn't expected Chen Fang to be this uncompromising.

She sneered, "If I agree to your terms, won't the reputation of the Hou Family be utterly ruined? The prestigious Hou Family being blackmailed by a mere Deputy Mayor, how would that reflect on us if word got out?"

"That's not for me to worry about," he replied.

Chen Fang finished speaking.

He stood up.

"President Hou, our negotiation ends here. I'm giving you one day to decide. After that, I fear your nephew will start suffering in the police station, and then, don't blame me, Chen Fang, for not being merciful."

"Wait!"

Just as Chen Fang was about to leave,

Hou Jingjing shouted loudly.

"Have you made up your mind, President Hou? Actually, we can still discuss other matters," Chen Fang asked.

Hou Jingjing opened the bag she was carrying.

She pulled out a checkbook, tore off a check, and pushed it across to Chen Fang, saying, "Here is ten million, and besides, the Hou Family can promote you to be the Mayor of Guyang City. With the backing of the Hou Family, your future career would be limitless. Aren't you going to consider it, Deputy Mayor Chen?"

Chen Fang bent down and picked up the check from the coffee table.

He looked at the amount.

He sneered, "Ten million, most people in this world have never even seen what ten million looks like. The Hou Family really does spend money easily, true to being the foremost noble family indeed."

As soon as he finished speaking,

the check was torn up with a ripping sound.

Damn, stubborn bastard!

Seeing this,

Hou Jingjing abruptly stood up.

She angrily said, "Chen Fang, don't be ungrateful. I advise you to think carefully about the consequences!"

"No need, since President Hou doesn't want to talk, whatever the consequences, I, Chen Fang, am prepared to face them. Goodbye!"

After dropping those words,

Chen Fang decisively left.

But he had only taken a few steps forward when a wave of dizziness struck him.

He staggered and fell to the ground.

Looking at Hou Jingjing, her face was full of smugness, and she looked contemptuous.

"What… what did you… what did you put in my drink?"

Chen Fang then remembered that the drink had been brought over by Hou Jingjing.

Hou Jingjing lit a cigarette,

contentedly took a puff,

and exhaled a large smoke ring, saying, "Chen Fang, I told you just now, don't mess with the Hou Family; the consequences are too much for you to bear. But don't worry, I don't want your life, it's just some strong aphrodisiac. In a few minutes, a woman I've arranged will arrive, and I will record everything to send to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. The news of Guyang City's Deputy Mayor soliciting a prostitute, I believe the media will find quite interesting."

After speaking,

like magic,

a camcorder appeared in Hou Jingjing's hand.

She turned it on and positioned it on top of the TV cabinet aimed at the bed.

She sneered, "Deputy Mayor Chen, don't you think I'm very considerate? This trick was once used by Guan Xiaoxian on Shi Ming. Now using it on you, does it feel familiar?"
