Chapter Seven: Dragons Fight Tigers, Elites Endure Hardship, Snakes Swallow Elephants,

Wise Men Gather. He Kedai's wheelchair accelerated forward,

threatening to overturn at any moment. Seeing the danger, Tian Congying rushed towards the wheelchair to stop it.

Chen Hu, like a runaway horse, burst forth from the crowd and lunged at the wheelchair.

Almost simultaneously, Chen Dian and Tian Congying grabbed the wheelchair one after the other. The crowd breathed a sigh of
relief .

A drawer under the seat cushion swung open halfway, revealing a pistol to Chen Hu, but he remained silent.

He Kedai calmly closed the drawer, saying self-deprecatingly, "Thank you, but you've ruined
one of the most exciting acts of the banquet, the disabled motorcycle stunt. The China Acrobatic Troupe can't perform either."

Chen Hu carefully observed Tian Congying; her courage had caught his attention, but he hadn't expected her to be such a
quiet girl.

"Thank you, Miss," He Kedai nodded to Tian Congying.

He Kedai noticed that Tian Congying's arm was injured and bleeding profusely. He said apologetically, "Oh, you're injured.
Go get it bandaged quickly. I really don't know how to thank you."

A Si and Jiang Yuexiu ran over.

Jiang Yuexiu was still shaken. "Kedai, are you alright?"

"The lunar rover launch was unsuccessful. Their technology wasn't up to par."

A Si reached into his pocket, only to remember that He Kedai had confiscated his gun. "Big brother, I'll fight them."

He Kedai said in a low but stern voice, "A Si, let's go."

A Si and the others pushed the wheelchair out of the banquet hall.

Jiang Yuexiu took two steps and then stopped.

Hao Xiangshou raised his glass and walked to the microphone.

"It's nothing, just a small misunderstanding, a little incident. Please enjoy your meal. I hope you all have a good appetite."

Chen Hu turned around and found that Tian Congying was gone. Chen

Hu saw his target, Qiu Siyu, taking food from the buffet table. The buffet table was over ten meters long, with a dazzling array of Chinese and Western hot and cold dishes
, and stainless steel electric pots emitting fragrant steam.

He picked up a white porcelain plate, walked to the mysterious woman's side, and said with an elegant demeanor, "Miss,
perhaps veal would suit your appetite."

Qiu Siyu smiled charmingly, "How did you know I like veal?"

"Inspiration told me, Miss. You truly have the bearing of a lady; you are the queen of tonight's banquet."

"Thank you. I haven't met you before, sir?"

"Then we're acquainted. My name is Chen Hu. I'm sorry, I don't have a business card."

Qiu Siyu gracefully extended her arm for Chen Hu to shake. "It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Qiu Siyu.
I'm sorry , I have a business card, but I didn't bring it. Mr. Chen, where do you make your fortune?"

Chen Hu smiled, "I just watch others make their fortune."

"Oh, so you're a government official, pfft?"

"Not even a low-ranking official. And you, Miss?"

"I work for an information company in Hong Kong." "

I understand. In mainland China, they're called information companies, so your team must be very well-informed."

Qiu Siyu smiled charmingly again, "Well-informed, I'd say. I just have a few acquaintances. Mr. Chen has an extraordinary bearing;
you're sure to have a bright future."

“Thank you, I hope so. But I’m disfigured, and things might not be easy for me in the future.”

“No, you’ve put in a lot of effort.”

The band played music, and the dance began.

Jiao Dongfang whispered to Qian Zhong beside him, “How did Chen Hu get in?”

Qian Zhong said disdainfully, “Chen Hu? Those guys in that line of work are night owls; they only come if they have something to do. But don’t
take him seriously; that would be giving him too much credit.”

“That’s true.”

Jiao Dongfang pointed at Chen Hu.

Chen Hu sensed someone was watching him. Using this woman as a shield, he bowed gentlemanly and said,
“Miss Qiu, may I have this dance?”

“It would be my pleasure.”

Jiao Dongfang strode towards Chen Hu.

Chen Hu embraced Qiu Siyu’s slender waist and entered the dance floor. They were the first couple to enter. The first song was
Argentine Tango. Those who dared to dance the first song needed to be technically skilled and performative.

Jiao Dongfang wanted to distract Chen Hu and Qiu Siyu, but it was too late.

Hao Xiangshou walked to Jiao Dongfang’s side.

Jiao Dongfang stared disdainfully at Chen Hu's figure and said, "This country bumpkin is bound to make a fool of himself, daring to dance the first
tango. How did he even get in?"

Hao Xiangshou was the manager of the party. "I didn't send an invitation to the procuratorate, who knows where he came from
. It's ridiculous, should we ask him to leave?"

"We'll talk about it later, I'll teach him a lesson. This little brat doesn't know his place, daring to steal my thunder."

All eyes were on Chen Hu's dance partner on the dance floor.

Chen Hu's movements were elegant and precise, full of masculine energy. Qiu Siyu, like a vine clinging to a tree, was alluring, swaying gracefully with
Chen Hu 's steps.

The dance ended, and applause erupted.

A waltz was played, and the dance floor was filled with more people.

Chen Hu, arm in arm with Qiu Siyu, stepped off the dance floor.

Qiu Siyu smiled charmingly.

"Mr. Chen, you danced beautifully."

"You danced even more beautifully."

Chen Hu accompanied Qiu Siyu back to her seat. At this moment, Jiao Dongfang approached.

"Prosecutor Chen, why isn't your old classmate Tao Tieliang here?
It would be quite a spectacle if you two moved your boxing match here. Siyu, you know him, right? This is Director Chen from the Anti-Corruption Bureau, China's Sherlock Holmes."

A flicker of panic crossed Qiu Siyu's face, gone in an instant, but not escaped Chen Hu's notice.

"Mr. Chen's profession in Hong Kong is called the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). My apologies."

"We call it the Anti-Corruption Bureau here. Did I scare you, Miss Qiu?"

"Scared me?" Qiu Siyu feigned innocence.

Qiu Siyu took out a cigarette, and Chen Hu lit it and offered it to her.

"Mr. Chen, you're quite the joker. You're protecting us, aren't you?"

"Miss Qiu understands our work very well, thank you." Chen Hu bowed slightly. "Thank you again for dancing
the first dance with me."

Qiu Siyu returned the gesture with a flirtatious look.

"Your dance will leave a deep impression on me. I hope we have the opportunity to dance again."

Jiao Dongfang gestured for Qiu Siyu to join him. He couldn't allow Chen Hu to continue stealing his thunder.

"Miss Siyu, isn't it my turn?"

Qiu Siyu and Jiao Dongfang stepped onto the dance floor.

Jiao Dongfang whispered in Qiu Siyu's ear, "What did he ask you?"

"Nothing much, just getting to know each other."

“He might be after you.”

Qiu Siyu smiled seductively. “You mean Mr. Chen wants to sleep with me?”

Jiao Dongfang shook his head. “If only that were the case. I’m worried he has ulterior motives. This guy has an occupational hazard of fighting corruption;
he sees everyone as a bad guy.”

“He’s quite manly; I like him.”

Jiao Dongfang thought for a moment and said, “Siyu, if you can really get him into bed, then you’ll be truly capable. He’s not as easy to hook as He
Qizhang .”

“If I really manage to get Mr. Chen into bed, how will you thank me?”

“I’ll give you a house.”

“I don’t want a house. I don’t even have time to live in the house He Qizhang gave me.”

“Then what do you want? You’re not short of money.”

“I want you to lease out the Western restaurant, Chinese restaurant, and karaoke room at Horizon Plaza.”

Jiao Dongfang shrugged. “Others have already signed contracts that don’t expire for three years; I’m afraid that won’t work.”

“Then lease out the entire shopping mall.”

Jiao Dongfang nodded. “Well, that’s negotiable. Let’s talk about it after you get him into bed. I’m afraid you can’t handle
this stinky bone.”

"Then you just wait and see."

Qiu Siyu and Jiao Dongfang spun around quickly.

Chen Hu walked up to Ge Mengmeng, who was talking to Qian Zhong.

Chen Hu respectfully said, "Assistant Qian, hello."

Qian Zhong said with a forced smile, "Comrade Chen Hu, what brings you here today?"

"I came uninvited, please don't mind."

"Not at all, we're all just working!"

Chen Hu turned to Ge Mengmeng; she was the one he was most interested in.

"Hello, Comrade Ge Mengmeng, perhaps I should call you Chairman Ge now, may I take up a little of your time?"

Chen Hu extended his hand to Ge Mengmeng.

Ge Mengmeng ignored him, took Qian Zhong's hand, and said, "Let's go dancing."

Chen Hu awkwardly touched the scar on his face.

Jiao Pengyuan and Qiu Siyu waltzed past them.

Jiao Pengyuan saw Chen Hu and deliberately turned away.

Chen Hu's gaze followed Jiao Pengyuan; he wanted to discover something.

Hao Xiangshou walked up to Chen Hu, adopting the authority of a three-person team speaking to a subordinate: "Chen Hu, I didn't expect to run into you in a place
like this ."

"Oh, Director Hao, hello."

Hao Xiangshou took out his Zhonghua brand cigarettes.

"Want one?"

"Thanks, I don't want one right now."

Hao Xiangshou put the cigarette in his mouth, and Shen Shi, who had been following him, took out a lighter and lit it for him.

"Chen Hu, I heard you're working on Secretary Jiao's materials?"

Chen Hu was startled. Had Zhou Senlin reported the TV program recording to his superiors? "Director Hao, you're very well-
informed , but it's not easy to confirm. I'm just continuing my investigation into Vice Mayor He's cause of death."

"The Municipal Party Committee has already concluded it was suicide. Do you still insist on your opinion?"

"There is increasingly strong evidence showing that this is at least not a simple suicide case."

"What did you say?"

"I said He Qizhang's death is not a simple suicide case."

Hao Xiangshou's eyes flashed with cold light.

“Comrade Chen Hu, you are a Party member and should understand the Party's organizational discipline. Secretary Jiao is leading the investigation into this
matter . The three-person team is fully responsible, and you're compiling materials on high-ranking officials behind the scenes. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?”

Chen Hu touched his scar and said, “Director Hao, I didn't compile materials on high-ranking officials. But the Central Committee has clearly instructed that
corruption cases, regardless of the level or the person involved, must be investigated thoroughly. Everyone
is equal before the law.”

“You'd better watch yourself!”

Hao Xiangshou left Chen Hu with a displeased expression, Shen Shi following closely behind him.

Jiao Dongfang and Tian Congying jumped slowly.

As Jiao Dongfang jumped, he looked at Tian Congying's wrist, which was already wrapped in gauze, and said with heartache, “Does it still hurt?”

Tian Congying shook her head.

"You're amazing! You managed to grab the wheelchair, otherwise who knows what trouble would have gotten into?"

Tian Congying asked curiously, "Who's in the wheelchair?"

"My best friend." "Did

you two have a fight?"

"No, just a little misunderstanding. Sigh, if it weren't for you tonight, it would have been so boring. Don't
be fooled by these people clinking glasses and dancing; they're all scheming and backstabbing, like Li Linfu with a smile hiding a knife."

"You must be exhausted."

"With you, all my worries have vanished."

Qiu Siyu flew like a swallow to Chen Hu and said sweetly, "Mr. Chen, won't you invite me to dance
?"

"It would be my pleasure, please."

Chen Hu and Qiu Siyu danced the cha-cha.

A well-dressed middle-aged man and a beautiful young woman entered through the door, arm in arm.

The waiter was extremely respectful to Sun Qi and Jiao Xiaoyu.

Qiu Siyu wanted to stop dancing and apologized, saying, "Excuse me, I need to say hello to a gentleman."

Chen Hu also saw the couple who had entered and released Qiu Siyu's arm, saying, "You mean
Mr. ?"

"You know the Steel King too?"

"We've met a few times. Miss Qiu knows quite a lot of people!"

Chen Hu and Qiu Siyu walked over to Sun Qi and Jiao Xiaoyu, who had just entered. Qiu Siyu pushed Chen Hu aside and kissed Sun Qi on
the cheek .

"You're late! Is this lady your dance partner?"

Sun Qi gave Chen Hu a cold look; clearly, he found Qiu Siyu and Chen Hu's dance strange.

"Excuse me, Miss Siyu, I was held up by something. Let me introduce you, Miss Jiao, Miss Qiu."

Qiu Siyu shook hands with Jiao Xiaoyu.

Qiu Siyu, wanting to play the leading role and show her prowess to all men, introduced them: "This is
Mr. , an official from the Anti-Corruption Bureau. This is Mr. Sun Qi, the Steel King."

Chen Hu extended his hand to Sun Qi, "We know each other."

Sun Qi turned his head away dismissively, "We don't know each other."

Sun Qi and Jiao Xiaoyu went to dance on the dance floor.

Chen Hu lit a cigarette. Who was this beautiful girl? She and
Jiao Dongfang . This arrogant Sun Qi was even more mysterious. Just how powerful a backer did he
have to manipulate the judiciary so easily? Chen Hu recalled the resistance he encountered last year when investigating Sun Qi's case.

Zhou Senlin pushed the newspaper featuring Sun Qi's outstanding deeds onto Chen Hu's desk, lighting the article about Sun Qi...
The caption read, "Don't investigate Sun Qi's matter any further. Look, another
article praising him has appeared in the newspaper. And this article was ordered by Secretary Jiao to be published."

Chen Hu pointed to Sun Qi's photo in the newspaper, mirroring Zhou Senlin's gesture, indicating his dissatisfaction.

"I've seen this newspaper. I have materials. According to Zhao Jun, the manager of the steel company's service company,
Sun Qi is suspected of bribery."

"What evidence? We can't produce any solid evidence. Sun Hong's entire paperwork is legal. Besides, Zhao Jun
has recanted his testimony, denying any financial relationship with Sun Qi."

"I suspect Sun Qi and Zhao Jun colluded, forming a pact of silence."

"What evidence? You still have no evidence. Sun Qi's father is a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and a member of the Central Committee. We
must be extremely cautious. Preserving the results of Zhao Jun's case would be good enough. I order you to stop the investigation into
Sun Qi ."

The unpleasant memories of the past didn't cloud Chen Hu's sharp eyes.

He saw Sun Qi talking to Jiao Dongfang. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he guessed
they were talking about him, the uninvited guest.

In a corner of the banquet hall, Hao Xiangshou was making a phone call.

Hao Xiangshou was getting impatient; he wanted to get rid of Chen Hu.

"Director Zhou? Excuse me, my voice is too noisy."

Zhou Senlin answered the phone in his study, where he was reading *Zizhi Tongjian*. He closed the book and said, "It's me."

"Your Chen Hu, without an invitation, barged into the Capital Horizon Hotel banquet hall to dance and show off. The foreign businessmen are very
unhappy. He's your subordinate; are you going to ask him to leave?"

"Okay, I'll go."

Zhou Senlin hung up the phone and cursed, "A mere brute, brave but reckless, ruining my plans."

The dance was still going on, the loud, frenetic disco music pushing the party to its climax.

Jiao Dongfang, Sun Qi, and Shen Shi left the banquet hall and entered a small lounge. A woman in a red dress brought
each of them a glass of foreign liquor.

Jiao Dongfang waved his hand, and the woman left.

Sun Qi leaned back on the sofa, looking melancholy. "Night owls come into the house, they don't come unless they have something to do. Chen Hu is here to probe our situation."

In front of these two, Shen Shi never forgot to show his loyalty, saying, "Chen Hu has a death wish, he
's got some nerve compelled to gather materials on Secretary Jiao."

Jiao Dongfang waved his hand with a smile, saying, "Let's not talk about him. He's just a slippery eel, what big waves can he make? It's fun to tease him a bit
. You don't need to worry about Chen Hu's affairs. The three-person team is in charge of him, he can't possibly escape the Buddha's
palm ."

Jiao Dongfang took out three unsealed envelopes.

“One for each person, a small token from Mr. Wang of the Wucai Group, HKD 200,000. Everyone
contributed to this project. He'll show his appreciation later.”

Shen Shi cautiously asked, “Is there anything else? That kid's here to get you killed today.”

Jiao Dongfang waved his hand, “It's not that I'm being mean, but we can't give him a single penny. The He family has become a target of the anti-corruption bureau;
every penny that falls into his hands will become evidence.”

Sun Qi weighed the envelope in his hand, “Dongfang, let me give you a heads-up. I heard
from an insider that Wang Yaozu doesn't want to develop Wucai Plaza. He wants to resell the contract to Americans, actually speculating on our
land. Qiu Siyu probably knew about this a long time ago, but she didn't say a word. That bitch is two-faced.”

“Is your information reliable?”

“Absolutely reliable.”

Shen Shi took the light red Hong Kong dollars out of the envelope, looked at them, and then put them back.

“That’s even better.” Jiao Dongfang took a sip of his drink. “I have a way to deal with this old fox.”

Shen Shi hesitated and said, “Dongfang, things are tense right now. Should we just forget about the money? Or should we
keep it with you?”

Jiao Dongfang patted Shen Shi on the shoulder and said, “You’re scared as soon as Chen Hu arrives, without even smelling his fart? Brother,
you’ve already taken more than enough to warrant a death sentence. What’s the big deal if you take an extra 200,000? Don’t worry,
nothing will happen. Think about it, a mere section chief, how could he possibly sway the old man? The death of Vice Mayor He has already made him lose his bearings
!”

Shen Shi was still uneasy and said, “Just now, Chen Hu insisted to Director Hao that Vice Mayor He was murdered!”

"Homicide is good, then let Chen Hu find the killer. It's clearly suicide, where is he going to find the killer,
hahaha !"

Sun Qi glanced at Shen Shi with disdain. "Little Shen, you better take good care of the old man, don't let us brothers down.
If anything happens, you don't have to worry about us not paving the way for you. Oh, if you're free, go keep the old man company first
."

Shen Shi picked up his briefcase and went out, turning back at the door and placing the briefcase on the sofa.

"I'm going to keep the leader company. Leave the briefcase here, don't let the leader see it."

After Shen Shi left, Sun Qi took out several documents from the briefcase and handed them to Jiao Dongfang, saying, "That kid is all talk and no action.
Get him transferred away from the old man's side as soon as possible. Oh, Dongfang, the paperwork for purchasing the Montreux Steel Plant in France
is complete. The bank hasn't been completely settled yet, and we might need the old man's approval to transfer the foreign exchange to France."

Jiao Dongfang looked through the documents, pondered, and said, "I think we should do it in two steps. Part of the foreign exchange should be transferred directly to France,
and part should be transferred to me first, then transferred to Tokyo in the name of the Japanese side, and then transferred to France. Putting it all together
will be too conspicuous."

“That’s great. You find a pretext, and I’ll transfer thirty million US dollars to your account.”

Jiao Dongfang leaned back on the sofa, patting the documents, and said excitedly, “Brother Qi, no business
is as fast as transferring state-owned assets. Just open the treasury valve, and we can just pocket it! Your move
to buy was brilliant!”

Sun Qi raised his glass and said, “From now on, let’s go down the path of overseas investment and bring glory to the country!”

Jiao Dongfang patted Sun Qi’s shoulder, “We’re catching the last train. If we don’t hurry, those guys who acted first will empty the
treasury !”

The two glasses clinked together amidst hearty laughter.

Jiao Dongfang drank it all in one gulp.

“Brother Qi, you go first. I’ll give that old fox a piece of my mind.”

Sun Qi smiled, picked up the envelope, and tossed it to Jiao Dongfang.

"For this portion, you can buy some ginseng for the old man; consider it my tribute."

Jiao Dongfang picked up the phone: "Sally, please ask Boss Wang to come to the small lounge."

Just then, Jiao Dongfang's phone rang. The number displayed on the LCD screen made him realize this was a very
important call.

"Brother, this is Dongfang."

"Is your place packed with guests today?"

"I didn't dare disturb you. I knew I'd sent you an invitation, but you didn't come."

"Dongfang, don't let victory cloud your judgment. Chen Hu's interest in you is a dangerous
sign . With He Qizhang dead, things will definitely escalate. You must ensure our business doesn't leak
out. That way, your Jiao family will have room to maneuver."

"Don't worry, brother."

"From what I understand, the central government wants to use He Qizhang's death as a breakthrough. Your father's life will become increasingly difficult. You and I both know the cruelty of
power struggles. It's
time for your father to mobilize his political resources for self-protection. Dongfang, He Qizhang's downfall is good; you can use this case to stall them, making things
easier for us."

"Understood. Brother, will my business with Wu Aikun continue as planned?

" "Yes, it will continue as planned. But how to proceed, wait for my instructions. Don't let your subordinates get involved."

"Understood. Any further instructions, brother?"

"That's all."

The other party hung up the phone.

After receiving Jiao Dongfang's call, Sally went to the dance floor, patted Boss Wang, who was dancing with Ge Mengmeng, and
whispered, "President Jiao requests your presence." Wang

Yaozu said "I'm sorry" to Ge Mengmeng and left with Sally.

Sally led Wang Yaozu to the small lounge and opened the door.

"Please come in."

Sally closed the door from the outside.

Jiao Dongfang sat on the sofa without standing up.

"Please sit down."

"Thank you. Mr. Jiao, tonight's banquet and dance were wonderful." Wang Yaozu bent down to light a cigarette for Jiao Dongfang. "
It's a great honor for me that your father could attend in person. Thank you very much."

"This whole commotion will only make things more exciting. I've offended my best friend for you. As for you, your stocks will definitely rise when the Hong Kong
stock market !"

"That's thanks to Secretary Jiao's good fortune."

Jiao Dongfang stared intently into Wang Yaozu's eyes. "No need to beat around the bush, we're all old friends. You're going to
sell the Colorful Plaza to the Americans, right?"

Wang Yaozu chuckled a few times, then said awkwardly, "It's not time to lift the lid yet, Mr. Jiao, you're really quick-witted
." "

If you keep doing this, you'll create a real problem for my father, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Mr. Jiao, please don't take offense. Tomorrow, as soon as I return to Hong Kong, I'll immediately deposit two million US dollars into your Swiss bank
account, I promise."

Jiao Dongfang sneered, "Two million? I'm not a beggar!"

"Two million two hundred thousand, any more, my cash is tight right now, I can't withdraw any more."

"Two million five hundred thousand!"

Jiao Dongfang said decisively, without backing down.

"Fine, two million five hundred thousand it is. Mr. Jiao, you're ruthless. One day, when you take over your father's position and
become the municipal party secretary, we businessmen won't even have food to eat."

The music was soft, the lights were dim, and people were dancing cheek-to-cheek. Jiao Xiaoyu asked Chen Hu to dance, and he didn't refuse.

"I heard you're from the Anti-Corruption Bureau?"

Chen Hu inwardly chuckled to himself. Why was he dealing with women all night? Qiu Siyu, Ge Mengmeng,
and now Jiao Xiaoyu—who was she? "Yes. Miss, where do you work?" "

Just graduated, waiting for job assignment."

"You're quite familiar with Sun Qi, aren't you? He's a famous entrepreneur, a prominent figure!"

Jiao Xiaoyu changed the subject. "Prosecutor Chen, your Thai Sanda still needs work."

"How do you know?"

"I had the pleasure of watching one of your matches."

"I remember now, we met once."

"Your problem is that you only know how to attack, not defend. Your footwork is also lacking, and your punches aren't fast enough. Without
speed, there's no power."

"Are you a sports student? A boxing coach?"

"Just a hobby." "

It's rare to see a girl who loves boxing. Looks like I'll have to become your student."

Chen Hu saw a familiar face coming from the doorway. He thought to himself, "The beautiful Song Huihui, another
woman . All the heroines have arrived. "

Noticing Chen Hu's distraction, Jiao Xiaoyu smiled faintly and said, "Prosecutor Chen, is the prosecutor's investigative awareness
always on high alert?"

"I'm the most clueless."

The beautiful Song Huihui looked around, searching for someone in the crowd. The

beautiful Song Huihui saw Qiu Siyu and walked towards her.

Chen Hu, with Jiao Xiaoyu in his arms, followed the beautiful Song Huihui with dancing steps.

The beautiful Song Huihui reached Qiu Siyu's side.

"Miss Qiu, I need to talk to you."

Qiu Siyu pretended not to recognize her, "What is your surname, Miss?"

"Don't pretend you don't know me, I'm the beautiful Song Huihui."

Qiu Siyu's face showed an exaggerated expression, "Wow, you're the famous program host, nice to meet you,
nice to meet you."

"Why are you spreading rumors about me everywhere? What have I done to offend you?"

"Miss Song, I don't understand what you mean." "

Don't play dumb. You're spreading rumors that I have an improper relationship with Vice Mayor He. What evidence do you have?"

Qiu Siyu feigned surprise again. "I didn't say that, Miss Song. You've misunderstood."

"I haven't misunderstood. Jiao Dongfang told me himself. I've brought you here today to confront him. Come on,
let's go find Jiao Dongfang together. Do you dare to go?"

Qiu Siyu was somewhat flustered.

"Miss Song, you've ruined Jiao Dongfang's good time. You probably can't afford the consequences. He's in the middle of it,
and Secretary Jiao is here. You should consider the consequences."

The beautiful Song Huihui's tone softened. "I have nothing to hide. I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door in the middle of the night. I advise you to be careful.
You're the one who's Vice Mayor He's lover. You want to throw mud at me and divert attention? No way!"

Chen Hu vaguely heard the intermittent conversation.

The beautiful Song Huihui turned to look for Jiao Dongfang in the distance.

Chen Hu followed her with his eyes, seemingly understanding.

Jiao Xiaoyu said sarcastically, "Are you dancing or working?" "You stepped on my foot."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That's exactly where I went wrong."

The dance ended. Chen Hu politely nodded to Jiao Xiaoyu.

"Thank you. I forgot to ask, which school did you graduate from?"

"You even gave us a lecture."

"Oh, really?" Chen Hu was taken aback.

"You talked about the psychological qualities a prosecutor should possess, and your presentation, combined with case studies, was excellent."

Chen Hu suddenly realized that he was a specially invited teacher from the University of Political Science and Law.

"You're from the University of Political Science and Law?"

Senlin got out of the Audi, entered the lobby, and then the banquet hall, his eyes searching for Chen Hu.

Qian Zhong walked over. "Director Zhou, you're here too. The section chief and director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau are here together. Is
there some case here today?"

Qian Zhong's sarcasm infuriated Zhou Senlin. He retorted slightly,

"Perhaps we've stumbled upon the wrong place, Assistant Qian."

"Stumbling upon the wrong place is punishable, just kidding, just kidding. Let's have a drink over here."

Zhou Senlin politely declined, "Thank you. I have something to attend to. See you later."

Zhou Senlin walked towards Chen Hu.

Jiao Xiaoyu, who was talking to Chen Hu, lowered her voice when she saw Zhou Senlin approaching.

"Your director is here?"

Chen Hu's suspicions were piqued. How come all the women tonight were so adept at navigating social situations? "Do you know
Director Zhou ?"

Jiao Xiaoyu answered casually, "I've seen him once or twice."

Chen Hu stood up and greeted Zhou Senlin.

"Director Zhou,"

Zhou Senlin said in a commanding tone, "Come outside with me."

Chen Hu followed Senlin towards the door.

Hao Xiangshou and Qian Zhong whispered something, clearly referring to Zhou Senlin taking Chen Hu away.

Seeing that Zhou Senlin's usual calm expression had vanished, Chen Hu remained silent, waiting to be scolded.

Zhou Senlin's voice was low: "No need for explanations, just get out of here immediately."

Chen Hu went down the stairs.

Zhou Senlin watched Chen Hu's retreating figure, lost in thought, "What should I do with you?"

Hao Xiangshou walked from the banquet hall to Senlin's side, shaking his hand: "Director Zhou, you've come at the right time. Secretary Jiao
is here too ; he wants our three-person group to meet. Right here, it won't take long."

Jiao Pengyuan, still enjoying himself at the ball, disliked holding meetings at this time, but after Hao Xiangshou's reminder, he
was genuinely worried about making a mistake and approved this impromptu meeting of the three-person group. He sipped his tea as Hao
Xiangshou and Zhou Senlin knocked and entered.

Jiao Pengyuan gestured to the sofa, "Sit down, let's go over the situation."

After sitting down, Jiao Pengyuan closed his eyes and said, "Xiangshou, you go ahead."

Hao Xiangshou sat up straight, to show that his position in the three-person group was second only to Secretary Jiao, and
above .

"Following Secretary Jiao's instructions, Tao Tieliang went to S Province. He just called back and reported some information.
Li Haoyi is suspected of a huge illegal fundraising case, and he has begun to confess to some issues, which may involve some people.
But this major case in H City is being handled directly by the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Tao Tieliang can't find out exactly what Li Haoyi confessed to. I told him to find out the situation before coming back. That's all."

Zhou Senlin said expressionlessly.

Jiao Pengyuan remained with his eyes closed, seemingly resting. "Old Zhou, you're the Deputy Chief Prosecutor and Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. If Li Haoyi really has
problems , the Supreme People's Procuratorate should have informed you, given you a heads-up. They shouldn't have blocked you from accessing the case, should they?"

"I know nothing right now,"

Jiao Pengyuan opened his bloodshot eyes. "Yes, the officials arresting me don't even consult me. I
'm still the Party Secretary of the Municipal Committee. Now, they don't even consider the owner when they beat a dog. Someone's trying to get us, but we can't lose
our composure. First, we must try to get Li Haoyi's case under our control and investigate it ourselves. If we can't, and
can't , then any investigations into who Li Haoyi is involved with must be kept under our control. We can't expand the scope; that
's organizational discipline. Second, the three-person team must play its role, truly fulfilling its leadership role. 'Leadership'
means to guide and direct, and we must guide according to the correct principle of ensuring the stability and unity of the Municipal Committee
. What do you say, Old Zhou?"

“I will do as you instruct,”

Hao Xiangshou pressed. “You must implement Secretary Jiao’s instructions in terms of measures. Do you have any ideas?”

Jiao Pengyuan said meaningfully, “Old Zhou, your responsibilities will be heavier from now on. You’ve been the deputy chief prosecutor for four years
now, and I’m planning to put the burden of the chief prosecutor on your shoulders as well.”

Zhou Senlin smiled devoutly and humbly, “I really don’t have the ability to shoulder the burden of the chief prosecutor.”

Hao Xiangshou’s heart tightened. How could Secretary Jiao entrust the position of chief prosecutor to this
old fox ? But he said aloud, “Secretary Jiao trusts you so much, so there’s no need to be too modest.
It’s of utmost importance to keep the reins firmly in the hands of us true Marxists!”

Jiao Dongfang left the small lounge, excited that he had squeezed out another two and a half million US dollars from Wang Yaozu. He
took the elevator to room 1201. This was a room that was never rented out; it was Jiao Dongfang’s secret rendezvous place. The inner, middle, and
inner suites were connected together, providing excellent privacy.
He took off his suit, changed into a silk bathrobe, took out two glasses, poured in XO, and
added a white powder—an aphrodisiac—to one of the glasses.

The beautiful Song Huihui knocked on the door. Her face was melancholy and uneasy.

Jiao Dongfang opened the door.

"Please come in, Miss Song."

Song Huihui looked around and said, "Sally said you were meeting me here. I wanted to ask, there
might be right?"

Jiao Dongfang was taken aback and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a hotel room, not your TV
studio ."

"Dongfang, have I offended you?"

Song Huihui sat on the sofa and questioned him bluntly.

"Our friendship is unbreakable, what nonsense are you spouting?"

The beautiful Song Huihui lit a cigarette, exhaled a few puffs of smoke, and said with a somber expression, "Since we're friends,
let's be frank. Vice Mayor He has treated you well, and even better, your father. You shouldn't have resorted to underhanded tactics!"

Jiao Dongfang's heart skipped a beat, his expression tense. He feigned composure and said, "Huihui, you're getting more and more mysterious.
What underhanded tactics did I use?"

"A videotape!"

Jiao Dongfang's expression softened; so that's what she was asking about. But he still pretended to know nothing and
asked, "What videotape?"

"Don't play games with me. It's a videotape of me and Vice Mayor He. I can see it very clearly from the tape—the furniture,
the furnishings, the layout—it's this restaurant. You secretly recorded it behind our backs!"

"How could I not know?"

"Let me tell you straight, your father made me watch it, otherwise I wouldn't know. As the restaurant president, how could you not
know? Who would dare to secretly film Vice Mayor He? Did you give the tape to your father?"

"No! I don't know anything about videotapes. Is it serious? What's the big deal if you talk to Vice Mayor He and it's recorded ?"

'Fine, if you won't admit it, I'm leaving!'

The beautiful Song Huihui stood up, but Jiao Dongfang stopped her with a forced smile.

"Don't be impulsive. How about this, I'll check. If it really exists, I'll return the videotape to you."

The beautiful Song Huihui sat on the sofa, sobbing, "You must return it to me. Actually, I know it's in your hands.
It doesn't matter if you and Secretary Jiao know, we're all on the same side. But if Chen Hu finds out, it'll be evidence. If it gets
out , I'll be ruined, how will I ever face anyone again..."

Jiao Dongfang stroked the beautiful Song Huihui's long hair and said, "Huihui, don't worry, even if this videotape exists,
it will never fall into Chen Hu's hands. That guy profits from human blood; the more people he kills, the faster he rises in rank.
If it falls into his hands, you'll be skinned alive, if not dead. Come on, have a drink to perk yourself up." "

The beautiful Song Huihui took the wine glass handed to her by Jiao Dongfang and drank it all in one gulp.

"How are you feeling? Much better, right?"

Jiao Dongfang quietly waited for Song Huihui to become aroused under the influence of the drug.

Song Huihui felt hot all over. She took off her coat and said, "Why am I so hot? It's hot inside,
and a little itchy. Is it because the alcohol is too strong?"

"No way, you've always been a hero with a huge capacity for alcohol."

Song Huihui's eyes sparkled, her expression hazy. She couldn't control the restlessness from the bottom of her heart.

"I'll massage your feet to cool you down."

Jiao Dongfang squatted down, took off Song Huihui's high heels and stockings, and massaged her feet.

Song Huihui leaned back on the sofa and groaned, "I didn't expect a foot massage to feel so good."

"There's more to feel good!" He embraced Song Huihui, kissing and caressing her passionately…

Jiao Dongfang carried the beautiful Song Huihui to the bed, kissing and caressing her passionately… and then thrusting and
embracing her wildly… He possessed her while she was in a daze.

The next

afternoon, Jiao Dongfang drove his Mercedes into the city television station.

Since television entered China, it has been closely linked with politics, surpassing the sacred
status and becoming the primary media. The television station's biggest fear was accidentally broadcasting
footage of a leader who had already stepped down, which would be a serious political mistake. Director Wang of the editorial office called a meeting with the heads of various departments to assign tasks.

The beautiful Song Huihui pushed open the door and entered.

Wang Qingsheng said disapprovingly, “You're the only one missing. I'm assigning an important task. The municipal party committee has instructed that
Li Haoyi's image must not appear in any future broadcasts.

” An editor asked, “Boss, who is Li Haoyi?”

“The director of the Municipal Development Office.”

"I thought he was some big shot. Haven't you heard those old sayings? 'You only realize how little money you have when you get to Guangdong,
and how bad your health is when you get to Hainan.' What's the next line? Right, 'You only realize how insignificant your
official position is when you get here.' Is a mere bureau-level official really worth all this fuss?"

Another editor said, "You don't know, Li Haoyi used to be Mayor Lin's secretary for a few years."

Wang Qingsheng said unhappily, "You think you know so much? We did a
good job removing He Qizhang's scenes a while ago; there were no political incidents, and the municipal party committee was quite satisfied with us. This time, we have to complete the same task."

The editor joked, "Well, we just evaporated He Qizhang, and now we're evaporating Li Haoyi. This 'evaporation order'..." One after
another .

Wang Qingsheng frowned. "Stop being cheeky. Li Haoyi's case is a bit tricky. He doesn't have many scenes alone,
unlike He Qizhang, who's easier to investigate. He's often standing next to municipal leaders like Secretary Jiao and Mayor Lin, making
it easy slip through the net."

Suddenly, the beautiful Song Huihui said, "Oh no! Li Haoyi is the lead in our two upcoming documentaries.
If we cut him, the structure will have to be rearranged, and we won't be able to air on time."

Wang Qingsheng tapped his pen on the list. "Then we'll postpone it. We'll air it whenever it's finished editing.
Meeting adjourned. Get

to work immediately." The editors busied themselves searching for the videotapes; no one dared to neglect this political task. At that moment, Jiao Dongfang pushed open
the door and entered.

"Damn, that's quite a scene."

Wang Qingsheng greeted him. "Dongfang, you wanted to see me?"

"You're so busy, I wouldn't dare disturb you. I'm looking for Huihui."

The beautiful Song Huihui said indifferently, "What do you want?"

"Of course, it's good news."

"Come to my office."

After

entering the office of the famous TV host Song Huihui, Jiao Dongfang said impatiently, "
Did you bring me the things?"

Jiao Dongfang pretended to be confused. "What things?"

"Pretending to be confused, aren't you? Who knows when you secretly filmed the tape?"

"I'm not from the TV station, why would I film a tape?"

The beautiful Song Huihui was on the verge of tears. "I... that day, you... you actually did such a thing...

I can't stand being bullied by you and your son... it's that tape of He Qizhang and me. As the hotel president,
how could you not know? Who dares to impersonate the deputy mayor? Did you give the tape to your father?"

Jiao Dongfang helplessly spread his hands and remained silent. He felt a kind of pleasure in teasing women from the beautiful Song Huihui's anxiety
.

The beautiful Song Huihui wiped away her tears and said, "I know it was all your doing, I know it's in your hands. It doesn't matter if you and Secretary Jiao
know , we're all family, it's all in our own hands, but if word gets out, how can I face anyone
? I can't live like this. If Chen Hu finds out, he might drag me into He Qizhang's case, and then I
'll confused."

"Is it that serious?"

The famous TV host Song Huihui stood up. "You can go now, I'll ask your father for it."

Jiao Dongfang stopped her, saying, "Xi Shi looks beautiful when she has a stomachache, you look beautiful even when you're angry."

"Are you kidding me?"

Jiao Dongfang smiled and took out a videotape from his purse. "Is this what you want?"

The beautiful Song Huihui snatched the videotape, looked at it, and was about to put it into the VCR.

“It’s not appropriate to watch this kind of tape in a place like this,”

the beautiful Song Huihui said doubtfully. “Is this the original?”

“If you wash it, it will be out of print.”

“How many tapes have you copied?”

“I only have one original tape. You’re the expert, take a look if you don’t believe me.”

The beautiful Song Huihui opened the videotape case, took out the tape piece by piece, took it to the bathroom inside the house, and put it in
a metal box.

Jiao Dongfang followed him into the restroom and lit the videotape with a lighter.

The tape distorted, as if all the high-level secrets had vanished. After Xu Jiabao, the

sixth secretary of a certain county party committee, became a guest at the Capital Horizon Hotel, he had a clear understanding of the situation. He considered the position of county party secretary to be like his personal power, clinging tightly to his most private and unspeakable position. He had come excitedly, exchanging pleasantries in Jiao Dongfang's office before accompanying Jiao Dongfang and Yang Ke from the lobby to the parking lot to see two new cars that had been specially transported by truck. One was a Mercedes, and the other a Santana. Xu Jiabao carefully smiled apologetically, "President Jiao, both of these cars have zero kilometers on the odometer; there are some odometer readings, but you won't mind, will you? Let's test the cars' performance; this is also for your and our old man's safety." Yang Ke impatiently pushed Xu Jiabao away, "What's wrong with you?" Xu Jiabao handed the car keys to Jiao Dongfang. "Here are your keys, and these are for our old man. Please pass them on." "I'm testing the performance." Jiao Dongfang opened the Mercedes door, and Xu Jiabao tried to get in, but Jiao Dongfang pushed him out: "Get in the Santana." Xu Jiabao opened the Santana door, and Yang Ke glared at him. "Don't bother me, wait here." The Mercedes and Santana drove away, leaving Xu Jiabao stranded in the parking lot. Xu Jiabao stood there dumbfounded, confused. He couldn't understand why he was being beaten for giving gifts, a practice he'd never been known for. The Mercedes and Santana were on the highway. After driving several dozen kilometers, they returned to the Capital Horizon Hotel parking lot. Yang Ke noticed Xu Jiabao was still there. Yang Ke muttered to himself, "This idiot, still standing here." Yang Ke got out of the car and smiled at Xu Jiabao, "You've been standing here for an hour?" "It's alright, it's alright. I'd be willing to stand for another two hours. Is the car alright?" Jiao Dongfang got out of the car, also finding it strange, "Old Xu, why haven't you left yet?" " You didn't tell me to leave, so how could I dare move? I'm afraid you'll still come looking for me." Jiao Dongfang sneered, "You're really stupid. Go back. I know what's bothering you." Jiao Dongfang and Jiao Pengyuan were watching a movie in their home, a real home theater that could accommodate over twenty people and project film. It's unclear when it started, but people of his status had home theaters. Leaders watched new films and Western films imported specifically for the upper class, not shown to the public. After reaching this position, Jiao Pengyuan naturally enjoyed this privilege. A never-to-be-released American erotic musical was playing on the screen. Jiao Dongfang and Jiao Pengyuan sat on the sofa in the front row. The housekeeper brought two cups of coffee on a tray, placed them on the coffee table, and left. "Dad, about Xu Jiabao's matter, shouldn't you consider it?" Jiao Pengyuan's gaze didn't leave the screen. "The famous TV host Song Huihui called me and said you brought her the original version?" "Yes, I delivered it myself." " Don't record this kind of nonsense again. Which Xu Jiabao?" "The town head of Chengguan Town in Yanxing County, Xu Jiazhu." "Ugh, the one who wants to be the top official in Yanxing County?" "It's him. I think he's quite clever, and most importantly, politically reliable and mature. He's done a good job with tourism, so he has some achievements." Jiao Pengyuan snorted. "I think he's good for nothing but flattery. At best, he'll barely get promoted to deputy director of the county tourism bureau." "Dad, I think he's loyal to you." Jiao Pengyuan laughed. "You believe that? He's not loyal to me; he's trying to climb the ." Jiao Dongfang said dismissively, "In a market economy, the law of value exchange is everywhere, and that's normal. Xu Jiabao gave you a Mercedes, and I accepted it on your behalf. " Jiao Pengyuan was taken aback. " Ku? I have two cars, what kind do you want?" "That's the official car the government provided for you, and Xu Jiabao gave you your private car." Jiao Pengyuan slapped the sofa armrest. "You're just making things difficult for me! A Mercedes for a bureau-level official? Are Communist Party officials that cheap? How can you do this? How many bureau-level officials do I have? I wouldn't sell it even if you gave me a plane. How am I supposed to lead the cadre team in the future? Return the car." Jiao Dongfang fell silent. The music from the American movie grew increasingly shrill, and the exposed thighs became even more dazzling. Jiao Pengyuan softened his tone: "If it's really difficult to return, this is a one-time exception. What color is it?" The nanny came in and said, "Secretary Jiao, Xiaoyu is here, she's in the living room." "Let Xiaoyu come to watch the movie with you." The nanny left. Jiao Dongfang smiled, "Xiaoyu must have come for her job arrangements. She doesn't know you've taken care of everything for her, does she ?" Jiao Xiaoyu greeted everyone as she entered, "Uncle, Brother Dong, hello!" Jiao Pengyuan pointed to the empty sofa next to him, "Xiaoyu, sit here." Jiao Xiaoyu sat down next to Jiao Pengtong. "Uncle, watching an American movie? I'll translate for you." Jiao Pengyuan waved his hand and said, "Singing and dancing, what's the point of translating? Domestic movies aren't good, and foreign movies without translations are incomprehensible. It's just a musical to relax." Jiao Dongfang said affectionately, "Xiaoyu, I prepared a lot of little trinkets for you, but you haven't come to pick them up." "I know, those little trinkets are just necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. I don't like those. Keep them for your girlfriend." "You two are never serious when you're together. You've been fighting since you were little. Let's get down to business, Xiaoyu, your dream is about to come true . I've arranged for you to work at the procuratorate, possibly in the anti-corruption bureau. Director Zhou Senlin is a very good cadre ; he's processing your paperwork right now." Jiao Xiaoyu clapped her hands happily, "Great! When do I report for duty?" "No rush, it'll only be a few days." Jiao Dongfang said meaningfully, "Great, our family will have an official in the anti-corruption bureau. Xiaoyu, actually, you 're the one who's truly taken over, aren't you, Dad?" Jiao Pengyuan stroked his chin and said, "Dongfang is right. The year of the founding ceremony, I was the head of the police station." The nanny came in again and whispered, "Secretary Jiao, Hao Xiangshou called, saying it's urgent." Chapter Eight: Sending Black Hair to the Cemetery to Bury Affection, Welcoming White Hair to the Private Residence for Pleasure

The public cemetery was silent, save for the sounds of car engines in the parking lot, a reminder that life existed here alongside death
.

A dozen black Audis and two large buses slowly pulled up.
Jiao Pengyuan and his secretary, Shen Shi, alighted from one of the Audis. Qian Zhong, Lin Guanghan, and Hao Xiangshou followed, each
wearing a small white flower pinned to their chests.

Tao Tieliang helped his mother out of an Audi.

Jiao Pengyuan greeted her, extending his hand to grasp Tao's mother's.

Tao Tieliang introduced her, "Mom, this is Secretary Jiao of the Municipal Party Committee."

"You've lost a good daughter, and the Municipal Party Committee has lost a good cadre. Please accept my condolences and take care. All the
main . Tieliang, help your mother rest."

"Thank you."

Tao Tieliang, along with a female colleague who caught up, helped his mother up to the cemetery.

Yong Senlin, Jiang Dabing, and Chen Hu alighted from the buses. Some officers were in police uniforms,
some in prosecutor's uniforms, and some in court uniforms; those in ordinary clothes were discipline inspection cadres and relatives of the deceased.

Jiao Pengyuan looked around and said, "Didn't Fang Hao come back last night? Why isn't he here?"

Hao Xiangshou said, "Secretary Fang said he would definitely come, but who knows if he actually will."

Looking at so many high-ranking officials attending the memorial service for a section-level cadre, Chen Hu felt uneasy.
This was highly unusual. According to convention, Secretary Jiao never attended the memorial services for cadres below the deputy ministerial level.

Chen Hu whispered to Zhou Senlin beside him, "Director Zhou, isn't today a bit strange?"

Zhou Senlin was also observing the people who had come.

"You mean why the main leaders of the municipal party committee are attending the funeral of an ordinary cadre? This shows
the importance the municipal leaders attach to anti-corruption! It's an attitude! Although Comrade Tao Suling's martyr status is not up for debate,
Secretary Jiao's personal attendance is itself an affirmation of her."

Fang Hao's Audi pulled up.

Fang Hao got out of the car. Hao Xiangshou, Qian Zhong, Lin Xianhan, Zhang Guangding, Xiangdi, and others greeted him.

Hao Xiangshou was the first to rush forward and shake hands, "Secretary Fang, thank you for coming all this way."

Qian Zhong also seized the opportunity to express respect and friendliness: "Secretary Fang is the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission; your presence is an encouragement to political and legal
cadres and discipline inspection cadres."

Fang Hao silently shook hands with everyone.

Fang Hao walked towards Jiao Pengyuan, and the two shook hands.

Jiao Pengyuan said in a low voice, "Old Fang, you went to the Central Party School for training, seeking some peace and quiet, but quite a few things happened.
You should come back soon."

"It's almost over. I'll study and work at the same time. Secretary Jiao, you've lost a lot of weight, and your eyes are dark."

"Yes, we can't let others laugh at us. People with ulterior motives might make a big deal out of it."

Fang Hao saw Chen Hu and took the initiative to go over to him.

"Comrade Chen Hu!"

Chen Hu grasped Fang Hao's hand and said, "Secretary Fang, what new directives did the Central Committee send back? What kind of powerful documents did they bring back?
Please convey them to us."

"I studied at the Central Party School for three months, and it's not over yet. I came back to say goodbye to Comrade Tao Suling. Alas, we've
lost a good comrade. It's such a mistake!"

Chen Hu's expression somber. "This is all my responsibility. I request punishment."

"You can call me tonight if you need anything. We must support each other. Secretary Jiao and Mayor Lin are here; this is
support for the anti-corruption work."

Thousands of two-foot-high tombstones were arranged in layers up the hillside, each layer containing over a hundred tombstones, about twenty
layers in total, with a one-and-a-half-meter passage between each layer. The highest layer consisted of the tall tombstones of wealthy families.

Tao Suling's tombstone was newly erected, only two feet high, like an ordinary tombstone.

Jiao Pengyuan walked to the tombstone, nodded slightly, and grasped Tao Suling's mother's hand.

"Please accept my condolences and take care of yourself,"

the mother sobbed.

Jiao Pengyuan and Shen Shi picked small white flowers and placed them next to the two small wreaths in front of the tombstone.

After bowing three times to the tombstone, Lin Guanghan held Tao's mother's hand.

"Your daughter is an honor for us discipline inspection cadres. Please accept our condolences and take care of yourself."

Zhang Guangda, Kong Xiangdi, Qian Zhong, and Hao Xiangshou shook hands and placed small white flowers before the tombstone, all
bowing three times with somber expressions.

Fang Hao walked to the tombstone, bowed three times, then knelt down, stroking the stone, tears streaming down his face.

"Lingling, you were so lively when you sent me to the Central Party School. I'm back, but you… Lingling,
I really want to see you again!"

Chen Hu walked to Fang Hao's side and helped him up.

Fang Hao wiped away his tears and held Tao Suling's mother's hand.

"Comrade Tao Suling will live forever. We will always remember her. On behalf of the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission, I express my condolences.
We promise to investigate thoroughly. Please take care of yourself."

Chen Hu took out a cloth bag, opened it, and inside were Marlboro cigarettes that Tao Suling had given her. He would never forget
Tao Suling's voice at the scene where the bullet was found and the scene of the car rolling down the hillside.

“If you find anything today, I’ll give it to you as a trophy!”

He gently opened the cigarette pack, took out a cigarette, bent down, and placed it in front of the tombstone.

Chen Hu murmured to himself, “Lingling, this pack of cigarettes is my eternal treasure. Only after the entire case is
investigated can I have the right to smoke one.”

Chen Hu shook hands with Tao Tieliang and his mother, then silently left.

Zhou Senlin, Jiang Dabing, and others came to the grave to pay their respects, followed by many others.

Chen Hu walked down the steps to the cemetery, and on the last step, he looked back at the top of the cemetery, tears
welling up eyes.

Zhou Senlin walked down the steps and patted Chen Hu on the shoulder.

"Chen Hu, the organization has assigned you a new partner, a very nice young woman, a recent graduate from the University of Political Science and Law
."

"Another woman? I don't want her?"

"What, Comrade Chen Hu, are you still sexist?"

"It's not like that. Wasn't sacrificing Tao Suling enough? I don't want her, I absolutely refuse."

Zhou Senlin's face hardened. "This is the organization's decision, it's not up to you. She's here today too,
she'll be ."

Jiao Xiaoyu, dressed in a prosecutor's uniform, walked down the steps. She was slender, with bright, large eyes.

Zhou Senlin called out, "Xiaoyu, come here!"

Jiao Xiaoyu quickly approached.

"Director Zhou, you called me?"

"I've come to introduce you to your superior, Comrade Chen Hu. This is Jiao Xiaoyu, the new prosecutor."

Jiao Xiaoyu extended her hand. "Hello."

“We’ve already met. I’m sorry, I don’t want another Tao Suling. Please ask Director Zhou
to arrange another job for you.”

Chen Hu finished speaking and turned to walk towards the bus. The deeper reason Chen Hu couldn’t accept Jiao Xiaoyu as his assistant
was that his intuition told him he couldn’t trust this woman; it was she who had been involved with Sun Qi.

Beside Jiao Pengyuan’s Audi, Public Security Bureau Chief Jiang Dabing and Criminal Investigation Department Chief Tao Tieliang reported to the municipal leaders.
Lin Xianhan, Fang Hao, Qian Zhong, and Hao Xiangshou stood beside Jiao Pengyuan.

Jiang Dabing said, “Secretary Jiao, the main municipal leaders are all here; it’s not easy to meet them all. Comrade Tao Tieliang, who went to S Province to negotiate
Li Haoyi’s case, also has something to report. What do you think?”

Jiao Pengyuan tried to keep his gaze away from the tombstone.

“It’s a rather eerie place, and besides, Comrade Tie Liang must be in a bad mood right now.”

Lin Guanghan glanced at Fang Hao and said, “It’s not easy to run into each other, especially with Deputy Secretary Fang here.
Why don’t we listen to what’s going on?”

Jiao Pengyuan lit a cigarette and said, “Alright, don’t take too long. Everyone’s waiting to go back.”

Jiang Dabing pulled Tao Tie Liang forward a step.

“Tao Tie Liang, give a concise report.”

Tao Tie Liang unzipped his briefcase, took out two documents, and was about to hand them to Jiao Pengyuan, but Jiao Pengyuan waved his hand.

“Don’t look at the documents yet. Tell us the situation. Everyone should listen.”

“As instructed by Director Jiang, I went to the S Province Public Security Bureau and the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and also met with a
deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in charge of political and legal affairs. I have basically figured out some of the details about Li Haoyi. Li Haoyi has been changed from detention to arrest. This is
a copy of the arrest warrant.”

Jiao Pengyuan’s brows furrowed, Lin Xianhan looked somewhat nervous, and Hao Xiangshou’s cigarette butt fell to the ground.

“Li Haoyi participated in a massive illegal fundraising scheme in S Province, totaling over 3 billion yuan. According to
the Public Security Bureau , Li Haoyi has begun to confess. I suggested bringing Li Haoyi back for
further investigation, but the provincial department refused. Their reasons were valid, and my insistence was futile, so I returned. That's the basic
situation . The S Province Public Security Bureau was very welcoming, and the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee specifically expressed their hope that we
would cooperate and not let this matter affect the normal progress of economic and technological cooperation projects between brother provinces and cities.”

Qian Zhong interjected, “That’s all.”

“There’s another situation: S Province frequently reports this case to the Ministry of Public Security, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the Supreme People’s
Procuratorate. Relevant central departments have become deeply involved in this case, and central leaders have given specific instructions.”

Jiao Pengyuan was furious upon hearing this.

“Why didn’t they mention this important situation first?”

Jiao Pengyuan angrily climbed into his car, only to have his head bumped against the door frame.

Jiang Dabing tugged at Tao Tieliang’s sleeve, signaling him to stop talking.

Qian Zhong and Hao Xiangshou each got into their own cars.

Lin Guanghan hesitated for a moment, then turned and waved to Jiang Dayan. Jiang Dayan quickly walked over.

"Secretary Jiao is upset. You know, Li Haoyi used to be my secretary, and now that his secretary has run into trouble,
I'm the first to be affected. It's understandable that everyone is in a bad mood. Talk to Comrade Tao Tieliang and ask him
not to take it to heart. Also, have Tao Tieliang write a more detailed report about Li Haoyi and send it to me."

"Okay, is there anything else, Mayor?" "

Hmm, if possible, could you also find out the specific instructions from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Supreme People's Procuratorate regarding the illegal fundraising case in S Province?
We still need to follow the central government's policies. Secretary Fang, what do you think? You're in charge of this area."

Fang Hao said cautiously, "How about we hold a Standing Committee meeting?"

Chen Hu was smoking by the bus when he saw Jiao Pengyuan's head hit the door frame.

People boarded the bus to return home.

On the bus, Jiao Xiaoyu greeted Chen Hu, who had just boarded.

“Comrade Chen Hu, I’ve saved you a seat.”

Seeing the car was full, Chen Hu had no choice but to sit next to Jiao Xiaoyu.

Jiao Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said, “I’m not that easy to shake off, am I?”

Chen Hu glanced at her, impatiently pulling out a cigarette to light it. Jiao Xiaoyu took the lighter from Chen Hu.

“Excuse me, smoking is not allowed in the car.”

Chen Hu went straight to the point, wanting to see Jiao Xiaoyu’s first reaction. “You’re quite familiar with the steel tycoon Sun Qi,

aren’t you?” “Just acquaintances.”

“You two came in together at the dance. With such powerful social connections, you could do business so well,
why did you choose to be a prosecutor?”

“Someone once said something like this: ‘Prosecutors wear the national emblem of the People’s Republic of China on their heads and shoulder a sacred
mission. This profession is a direct embodiment of human justice.’ This sentence moved me and prompted me to choose
this path. Perhaps the person who said this has long forgotten his words.”

Chen Hu looked at Jiao Xiaoyu meaningfully. He hadn’t expected her to remember what he said in class so well.

In the early morning, people practicing Tai Chi and other exercises in the park looked serene.

Zhou Senlin and Fang Hao pushed each other in a secluded corner. They had to avoid being seen by some people to discuss
confidential matters.

Zhou Senlin said anxiously, "There's no precedent for a three-person group like this. I'm worried, will it
hinder judicial fairness?"

Fang Hao's eyes scanned the surroundings warily.

"Old Zhou, you have to be prepared to bear the pressure. But we all know that no matter how much pressure we're under, it
's not as much as the pressure the Central Committee is under. If any province or city has a problem, the people will ultimately
blame the Central Committee and our Party. The reason corrupt officials have shaken the people
's faith in the Party is because they are leading cadres, waving the banner of the Communist Party."

"Yes, yes,"

Fang Hao emphasized, "Chairman Mao said long ago that the Communist Party members have no
special interests of their own apart from the interests of the people. Now some people are doing the opposite, ignoring the interests of the people apart from their own special interests
."

Zhou Senlin sighed, "Alas, my hands and feet are tied by the three-person group, what am I going to do?"

Fang Hao suddenly pushed, sending Zhou Senlin out.

“This might free you. Old Zhou, you'll be the target for a while, and I'll shoot at you.”

They whispered for a while, and Zhou Senlin nodded repeatedly.

Hao Xiangshou arranged for Senlin, Fang Hao, and Jiao Pengyuan to hold a meeting in the small conference room of the municipal party committee. Everyone was very serious.

Jiao Pengyuan presided over the meeting.

“Today, Comrade Fang Hao is attending the three-person group meeting. Comrade Fang Hao is the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and should be participating in the three-person group meeting.”
However, he was studying at the Party School, so Zhou Senlin participated instead. "Comrade Fang Hao, you basically understand the situation.
What are your thoughts?"

Wen Hao launched his offensive, following the strategy agreed upon with Zhou Senlin.

"The fact that Secretary Jiao has led the formation of a three-person group shows the Municipal Party Committee's high
regard for the cases of He Qizhang and Li Haoyi. But I'm very dissatisfied with Comrade Zhou Senlin's work. Old Zhou, as the Deputy Chief Prosecutor and concurrently
the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, your work is very ineffective! It's simply disorganized. Secretary Jiao is the top leader, overseeing the overall situation;
he can't possibly focus all his attention on the investigation of specific cases. Comrade Hao Xiangshou, in charge of the Municipal Party Committee Office, is also
very busy and can't spare much energy either. As for you, anti-corruption is your duty, and you haven't fulfilled your responsibility
! The Central Committee has clear policies on anti-corruption, and you've studied Comrade Jiang Zemin's discourse on anti-corruption.
The Municipal Party Committee has also given specific instructions long ago, and Secretary Jiao's instructions are very clear: no matter who is involved in the case, no matter
how high their rank, it must be investigated to the end. Isn't that right, Secretary Jiao?"

Jiao Pengyuan was stung; Fang Hao's veiled criticism was very effective. Jiao Pengyuan looked very uncomfortable and said
helplessly , "Yes, yes, Comrade Fang Hao is right. I've said this many times too."

Fang Hao raised his voice: "Old Zhou, what are you waiting for? I think you're too self-serving, that's why you're so hesitant and timid
. If you continue like this, you'll make a mistake."

Hao Xiangshou couldn't hold back anymore, "Secretary Fang, Director Zhou is still working very hard."

Fang Hao became even more stern, "What about results? Without results, how can you say you're working hard? Old Zhou, if you
continue like this, you'll betray the Party's trust in you. Li Haoyi's case was discovered and handled by a brother province/city;
how much cooperation did you provide? Li Haoyi is a cadre in our city; we should know him best. Why didn't we discover his
problems? Old Zhou, if you continue to be so passive, if you don't change your attitude, if you don't maintain political consistency with
the Central Committee , then you should consider whether you should remain in this important position." Zhou

Senlin seemed about to say something, but then swallowed it back.
Jiao Pengyuan, unaware of Fang Hao's scheme, said gently, "Old Zhou, take Fang Hao's criticism with a grain of salt
. However, Old Zhou's work is still hard; even without merit, there's still effort."

Fang Hao continued to press, "Director Zhou, I hope you'll cheer up. My words were a bit harsh, but our city's anti-
corruption efforts are indeed far from meeting the central government's requirements. If there are any further deviations, I will hold you responsible."

Jiao Pengyuan tapped the table unhappily, "Let's end today's meeting here. Comrade Fang is going back to the Party School tomorrow;
we can't take up too much of his time. The three-person team's work just needs to proceed normally."

After the meeting, Jiao Pengyuan's car drove along the bustling streets, stopping directly at the main road restaurant.

Hao Xiangshou and Jiao Pengyuan sat in the back.

Hao Xiangshou seemed to understand something and said, "Secretary Jiao, the more I think about Fang Hao's speech today, the more uneasy I feel.
He openly criticized Zhou Senlin, but he was subtly implying something else."

"You mean he was indirectly criticizing someone?" "

He keeps saying he's in line with the Central Committee, as if we're not following their instructions. The Party's leadership is
manifested through the leadership of Party committees at all levels. In our city, your leadership is the Party's leadership, and being
in line is being in line with the Party Central Committee. Fang Hao's statement, 'Our city's anti-corruption efforts are far from meeting the Central Committee's requirements,
' doesn't sound right."

Jiao Pengyuan lit a cigarette. "Hmph, after a few months at Party school, he thinks he's some kind of imperial envoy.
From now on, you need to pay more attention to Zhou Senlin. He's a good comrade; we can't let him suffer. Tell Old
Zhou I'm treating him to drinks." "

When the car arrived at the Capital Horizon Hotel, Jiao Pengyuan dismissed the driver, and Hao Xiangshou had already gotten out midway.
He was there to see Ge Mengmeng and didn't want anyone to know, including his son, so he wore sunglasses to
avoid being recognized.

As Jiao Pengyuan slipped into Ge Mengmeng's room, his son, Jiao Dongfang, was also doing something he didn't want anyone to
know. He slipped into a private room reserved for his own use and watched
the footage from a hidden camera in a corner of the room on the monitor—a unique enjoyment for him.

Jiao

Dongfang sat at the control panel, turned on the monitor with the remote, and the screen displayed the footage. While
watching the monitor, Jiao Dongfang dialed a number.

"Xiaoying? Are you back at school?"

came Tian Congying's voice: "It's so late, and you're still not asleep

. I miss you, I can't sleep."

"Don't call anymore, it disturbs the students in the dormitory."

"I got you a mobile phone so you can talk whenever you want. Okay, I won't bother
you anymore, goodnight."

Jiao Dongfang hung up the phone.

A screen displayed a picture of Lai Huihui still fast asleep, turning over. Jiao Dongfang
returned the videotape to the beautiful Song Huihui and destroyed it along with the tape. Song Huihui was very grateful to him. Jiao Dongfang generously
booked a guest room for Song Huihui free of charge for an extended period. He, in turn, could enjoy the footage of Lai Huihui's naked body transmitted from the hidden camera at any time
.

Jiao Dongfang muttered to himself, "Sleep well, my beauty."

The remote control activated a secret camera in a certain room, showing two men opening a combination lock box
filled with RMB.

He pressed a button, zooming in on the faces of the two men, along with their voices.

"This is half the deposit. The other half will be paid after the goods are received."

"Okay, we'll decide the delivery location."

"Won't there be any problems?"

"Don't worry, it's absolutely safe."

Jiao Dongfang cursed at the monitor, "Safe my ass, let's see how we squeeze you dry."

He picked up the power cord. "Who's staying in the room?"

"A guest from Yunnan, named Matsuda Qi."

"How many days?"

"Three days, today is the first day." "

Okay, it's alright now." He concluded that these were two drug dealers and pondered how to extort money from them.

Jiao Dongfang used the remote control to activate another room. The screen showed Jiao Pengyuan and Ge Mengmeng
chatting on the sofa.

Jiao Dongfang exclaimed in surprise, "Dad!"

Ge Mengmeng nestled in Jiao Pengyuan's arms and said, "Old Jiao, you still have so much energy! You're really vigorous for your age. Do you eat deer antler velvet every day?" Jiao Pengyuan pinched Ge Mengmeng's cheek and said, "It's so nice to see you. How's it going? Doing business in Hong Kong is much more comfortable than working in the government office ,
isn't it? "

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. I opened a separate account for you in Hong Kong and
deposited all your money there. Do you want me to reimburse you?"

"Don't I trust you? My principle has always been to trust those I don't trust."

"How exactly did Vice Mayor He die? Hong Kong and Taiwan newspapers have published many articles, some saying it was suicide, some saying it
was murder, and some articles even mentioned Qiu Siyu, publishing a photo of Qiu Siyu and Vice Mayor He, saying that
Vice Mayor He died for love. If this continues, it might implicate me!"

Jiao Pengyuan sighed and lit a cigarette.

"The report was sent to the Central Committee, concluding it was suicide. But a minor section chief in the Anti-Corruption Bureau said he found some other
evidence, deliberately trying to make things difficult for me."

"You mean Chen Hu?"

"That's him."

"That guy has a face full of scars, he's very cunning. Can't you just order him transferred?"

"Chen Hu is quite well-known in the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also appreciates him. He may be small, but he
's influential. Besides, I've given several reports on anti-corruption, so it has to be generally acceptable. Arbitrarily
transferring an anti-corruption cadre doesn't make sense. Tell me, is Qiu Siyu really a Hong Kong star?"

Ge Mengmeng's lips curled to one side.

"Her? Tell me her background, it'll shock you.

" Jiao Pengyuan said with great interest, "Tell me quickly, is she really that close..."

Jiao Dongfang raised his voice, making the conversation between Jiao Pengyuan and Ge Mengmeng clearer.

"Did you connect He Qizhang and Qiu Siyu?"

"My dear Secretary, He Qizhang is your steward, how could I not serve him well?" "

This guy, he's got quite the luck with women. I'm a little sleepy..."

Ge Mengmeng walked to the wine cabinet, opened the glass door, and took out a bottle of XO.

Exhausted, Jiao Pengyuan suddenly mumbled in his sleep.

"Sweet and bitter...? Noisy..."

Ge Mengmeng glared at her former superior and lover, muttering to herself, "Hmph, old man, your Lai Huihui
is probably in Zhun's bed!"

Ge Mengmeng sipped her wine, pondering the past and thinking of countermeasures.

Hong

Kong, a paradise for mainland economic criminals, a highway for transferring state-owned assets.

Ge Mengmeng picked up He Qizhang, who had just gotten off the plane, and walked towards her car. The driver opened the door, inviting He Qizhang in,
and then opened another door for Ge Mengmeng.

"Mayor He, want to go shopping?"

"I've been to Hong Kong so many times, why go shopping again?"

"How about we go to my national goods department store? You have shares there!"

"I'm not here to check your accounts, I'm not looking." He Qizhang pulled an envelope from his suit pocket. "
Here you go. Secretary Jiao asked me to give this to you. Is it a love letter?"

"I'm old and faded, who still cares about me? Unlike you, riding high on your success."

"My duty as vice mayor is to serve Secretary Jiao and deliver messages for us.
Don't neglect me in your esteemed place!"

"Who dares neglect the financial manager of Old Master Jiao? Tell me what you want to do, and I'll make sure you're satisfied."

"That's wonderful! My idea is good, isn't it? Take out tens of millions and set up a business in Hong Kong.
It'll be a place for people to settle down. I set up this business specifically for you."

"Don't boast. Otherwise, would Secretary Jiao have promoted you from Finance Bureau Director to Executive Vice Mayor? The next step,
the mayor's position, wouldn't it be yours?"

"Lin Guanghan is no good. He keeps one eye on the central government and the other on Secretary Jiao.
I only look at Secretary Jiao; I don't look at anyone else. " "A scholar will die for one who understands him!"

Ge Mengmeng opened the envelope and pulled out a card.

"There's nothing here, just a letter of credit."

He Qizhang took the letter of credit, looked at it, and handed it back to her.

"With this letter of credit, your deal is done. What are you talking about? I couldn't even issue you a letter of credit
for an astronomical sum. Secretary Jiao is truly resourceful!"

"Why don't we check in first?"

The car drove to the five-star Nikko Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui.

A waiter carried He Qizhang's suitcase and led them to a suite.

Ge Mengmeng slipped the waiter two tips and looked around the room.

"The sea is right outside the window. Just make do here for a few days. Once I've completed the paperwork for buying the hotel, I'll reserve
the most luxurious suite for you and the beautiful Song Huihui. Hey, why didn't you bring Huihui along this time?"

He Qizhang rocked back and forth in his armchair.

"Who brings their wife on a trip?"

"Huihui isn't your wife."

"But she acts like one. " Confucius was right, "Women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with. If you treat them well, they'll take
advantage of you; if you distance yourself from them, they'll complain and make a scene. It's
unbearable . Mainland girls are no good, they don't know how to please people."

"I think you're tired of mainland girls and want to find a Miss Hong Kong, right?"

"I guessed right, you're so understanding, otherwise why would Secretary Jiao be so attached to you! Mengmeng, can you
find a Hong Kong star?"

"You have quite the taste! Okay, I'll find you a Miss Hong Kong."

"Miss Hong Kong won't do, I want a star, a Hong Kong star. I've never tasted the life of a star."

"Alright, my dear Mayor, a star it is. There's no time tonight, I'll find you one first,
consider it an appetizer, and I'll give you the main course in a few days." He

Qizhang nodded in satisfaction on the sofa.

Ge Mengmeng had put in a lot of effort to find women for He Qizhang, carefully selecting from the beauties who had signed up.

The women who had come to her office sat in a row on the sofa outside, waiting to be summoned.

Ge Mengmeng sat behind her desk in the inner room and said to a woman sitting outside the desk, "Excuse me, you
can go now."

Ge Mengmeng rang the doorbell, and the secretary outside said to the first woman in line, "You can come in."

This woman was very alluring; it was obvious she was a prostitute. Ge Mengmeng didn't offer her a seat.

"Do you speak Mandarin?"

The woman answered in Cantonese that she didn't.

"Excuse me, you can go now."

Another woman entered, quiet and somewhat stiff. Ge Mengmeng didn't even ask her a question.

"Excuse me, you can go now."

The next woman to enter was a slender and beautiful woman in her early twenties, with blue eyes, fair skin, and
long legs.

Ge Mengmeng found her alluring and beautiful, naturally gorgeous, and exceptionally pretty, with a graceful yet dignified air, which filled her
with joy.

"Are you mixed race?"

Hong Kong star Qiu Siyu replied elegantly, "I'm one-quarter Spanish."

"Spanish? Then you must be very enthusiastic."

"I can tap dance with Spanish castanets."

"Your Mandarin is very good."

"Thank you. I speak Cantonese, English, and Spanish. In our line of work, you need to know several languages so
customers like you."

"Are you a Hong Kong star prostitute?"

"Yes, but I usually only work for monthly contracts, accompanying tourists. You can also be called 'Hong Kong Star Miss'."

"Have you been to mainland China?"

"Of course. Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing, Chongqing, Urumqi, Lhasa, Xi'an, Tianshui." "

What's your surname, Miss?"

"Qiu Siyu. Of course, whatever name the customer gives me, that's my name."

"Miss Qiu, have you accompanied high-class clients?"

"I've accompanied British senators, Japanese senators, a Taiwanese lieutenant general, and the Saudi Arabian royal family. I don't
know if these people count as high-class clients?"

"Very good, I'm very happy. " "I'm sending you to accompany a vice mayor from the mainland. If you can make him happy, I
don't care about the money."

"None of my clients have ever been dissatisfied with me."

"There's a condition: you can't tell the vice mayor you're a Hong Kong star prostitute, not even a high-class one.
You can only say you're a star, a Hong Kong star, understand?"

"Oh, I've actually acted in Category III films, a Hong Kong star."

"That's good, you can say that. Just say you're a Hong Kong star lead actress. As long as your service is attentive, the gentleman is very
generous."

"I understand. In the mainland, whoever has power has money. I'll make him satisfied."

Ge Mengmeng tore a check from her checkbook.

"I bet, I'll give you HK$50,000 in advance. Later, we'll see how well you perform."

"Thank you."

Qiu Siyu put away the check and stood up to leave.

"Remember, you're not a Hong Kong star prostitute."

"Understood, I am a star."

Qiu Siyu, with the air of a movie star, swaggered away. She entered the hotel room where He Qizhang was staying
…

He Qizhang told her, “I washed myself thoroughly this morning to wait for you.” She had no choice but to
comply and obediently went into the bathroom.

While she was undressing, he was secretly planning to go in and have some “water fun” with her.
Finally , he let her in. He told her in the bathroom that her water heater seemed to be malfunctioning, there was no hot water,
was it broken?

Hearing this, she went in to check. When she opened the door, she saw He Qizhang completely
naked , his lower body already erect with excitement. She was stunned for a moment. He Qizhang then took the opportunity to grab her
hand, pulled her into the bathroom, and held her tightly, saying, “Why don’t we shower together?”

She softly agreed. He Qizhang began kissing her cherry-like lips, his hands starting to wander
, caressing every part of her body. Sometimes he would reach inside her pajamas to caress her breasts, sometimes he would slip his hands inside her pajama bottoms
to rub her private parts. While constantly arousing her desire, He Qizhang skillfully helped her remove all
her clothes .

She was truly exquisite. Her breasts were large and full, rounded like skin, with darker nipples,
perhaps because she had never given birth. Yet her waist was slender, He Qizhang estimated to be about 24 inches, without any excess fat.

Her pubic hair was sparse and thin, soft like fine silk, and her entire vulva was white, plump, and
beautiful .

Her lower abdomen was slightly protruding, and her buttocks were round and large, very fleshy and elastic. Best of all, her entire
body was soft and smooth, like touching silk, so comfortable, an indescribable feeling
that could only be understood by actually touching it.

At first, she was a little unnatural, her body a bit stiff, just standing there letting He Qizhang caress, rub, and
kiss , but later, as He Qizhang continued to tease her, he began to ignite the fire of her desire.

She knew to hug Ho Kai-cheung tightly and respond passionately to his kisses. Ho Kai-cheung, of course, wouldn't let her go, and
they shared a wet kiss, with his tongue plunging into her mouth. At that moment, Ho Kai-cheung's lower body reacted intensely, his erection more hard
than ever before , so hard that it hurt him a little.

Ho Kai-cheung played with her breasts with one hand while stroking her back with the other. She seemed to be getting
more and more excited. Besides hugging Ho Kai-cheung tightly, she also lightly grabbed his genitals with one hand. This action
made Ho Kai-cheung feel like he was being electrocuted, and his body involuntarily trembled.

She continued to stroke Ho Kai-cheung's genitals with her hand. Ho Kai-cheung was so excited that he cried out. He was really
afraid that he would ejaculate right then and there, but fortunately, he managed to hold back.

Then, she knelt down and put Ho Kai-cheung's penis in her mouth and licked it. He really couldn't believe that on
their first time together, she was willing to give him oral sex. Ho Kai-cheung immediately stood in position, letting her serve him.

Whether she frequently performed oral sex on her husband or had done it for many others, her technique
was truly top-notch. Besides sucking on Ho Kai-cheung's penis, she constantly stimulated his scrotum with her hands, and sometimes
licked his genitals with her tongue.

Ho Kai-cheung had never experienced anything like this before. Even his previous girlfriends, who were willing to perform oral sex on him,
only engaged in constant up-and-down movements, lacking such skill.

Ho Kai-cheung, of course, wanted to passionately kiss her
fair ,
beautiful, full, and sexy body, not letting her go. He climbed down and kissed her snow-white breasts, flat stomach, rounded thighs, plump inner thighs, thick, high, fair, beautiful vulva and labia, and rosy labia majora, then inserted his entire tongue into her rosy
labia to suck, lick, lick, tease, and play with them.

At that moment, the star Qiu Siyu's lower body reacted intensely; she felt extremely comfortable and pleasurable down there,
constantly moaning "Oh...ah...oh...oh...ah..." with pleasure.

When He Qizhang was very excited by her, he pulled her up, pressed her back against the wall, and then lifted
one of her legs, inserting his penis into her private parts from below. Her private parts were not tight, but they were very wet, and
He Qizhang inserted his penis to the deepest point in one go. She couldn't help but cry out, "Oh!... Ah!..."

Afterwards, Ho Kai-cheung continued to thrust forcefully, trying his best to push his penis deep into her body, and she cooperated by
moving up and down in response to his movements. Her breathing became rapid, and her heavy breathing told
Ho Kai-cheung she was enjoying herself and becoming excited.

When Ho Kai-cheung had almost reached his goal, he lifted her other leg, and she naturally
wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, her hands tightly around his neck, her whole body supported by his penis.

Ho Kai-cheung, of course, held her back, and with his other hand touched her breast. Then, Ho Kai-cheung
continued thrust his lower body into her, and with each thrust, she would let out a "ya!"

Later, her legs clamped tighter and tighter, and Ho Kai-cheung knew that she was about to ejaculate, so he increased the speed and force,
and her cries turned from one to another into a continuous series of moans.

Sometimes, she would kiss Ho Kai-cheung's lips forcefully, and Ho Kai-cheung would thrust deeper and faster, his hands beginning to vigorously
rub her breasts and stimulate her nipples. Then Ho Kai-cheung could only hear her cries growing louder and her breathing heavier.
Ignoring everything else, Ho Kai-cheung continued thrusting until he climaxed and ejaculated into her vagina.

Ho Kai-cheung and she slowly lay down on the ground. She seemed completely disintegrated, unable to move;
Ho Kai-cheung was the same, his legs a little weak. Because of the standing intercourse and having to lift her up, the posture was too strenuous, but perhaps
because they were so excited at the time, they didn't feel tired.

Afterwards, they showered together, even helping each other lather with soap. At that time, Ho Kai-cheung could slowly admire
her body. Of course, Ho Kai-cheung continued to gently caress and kiss her. It was truly unbelievable that Ho Kai-cheung
could have sex with such a beautiful Hong Kong star…

After Ho Kai-cheung and Qiu Si-yu's third night of passion, Ge Mengmeng hosted a banquet for Ho Kai-cheung and Qiu Si-yu.

Qiu Siyu gracefully stood up from her seat, leaned forward, and said, "Excuse me, I'm going to the restroom."

He Qizhang roughly patted Qiu Siyu's bottom.

After Qiu Siyu disappeared, Ge Mengmeng smiled.

"Mayor, are you satisfied with her?"

He Qizhang smiled mysteriously.

"Incredible! Incredible! I only regret that we met too late, too late!"

"You're exaggerating! How does she compare to Huihui?"

"All the beauties in the palace pale in comparison. Even the beautiful Song Huihui can't compare to her. Song Huihui is
a star, but she can't compare to Hong Kong stars. Siyu is practically inhuman, a vixen! She clings
to like a snake. The best part is, she's got aroused everywhere I touch her. She knows exactly when to tighten
and when to loosen—her sense of rhythm is amazing! Mengmeng, where did you find her?"

"She's a big star, she's acted in movies with Chow Yun-fat. It took a lot of effort to get her to come out of retirement;
she was originally going to marry an Arab prince!"

"I'll definitely repay this favor handsomely. Tell me, what do you want?"

"I need ten houses, four bedrooms and a living room each."

"Buying houses in Hong Kong? Do you really need me?"

"Did Siyu confuse you? Don't worry, she's just touching up her makeup and will be back soon.
I need ten houses on your land. They're all friends who begged me; I couldn't do anything about it in Hong Kong, so I had to ask you.
It's such a small matter, it's not like I need to trouble Secretary Jiao."

He Qizhang scratched his head and said, "Ten houses, just over ten million, how about five?"

"Look at you, you were talking big just now, and now you're backing down on ten houses? No way, forget about one
."

Ge Mengmeng turned her head away coyly.

He Qizhang punched himself on the head.

"Fine, my dear lady, you're a man of your word. Ten houses, give me the list, and I promise to hand over
the keys and deeds to them."

Ge Mengmeng raised her glass.

"Let's clink glasses!"

Due to the excessive force, a glass suddenly shattered.

He Qizhang muttered to himself, "This doesn't seem like a good omen."
