The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Chapter 917


Everything was predictable.

Chen Fang sat down cheerfully.

Huang Ken went to the cabinet and took out some good tea to brew.

They chatted idly for a bit.

He glanced at Chen Fang a few times, probing.

Curiously, he asked, "Brother Chen, you have a good relationship with Secretary Zhong of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee?"

"Not exactly a good relationship, it's alright."

Chen Fang replied nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Huang Ken immediately said, "Brother Chen is being modest; I've seen today's events with my own eyes. Secretary Zhong personally came down from the province to clear your name, which shows your relationship is not ordinary."

"Hahaha... Let's not talk about that... This tea from Director Huang is nice..."

"If Brother Chen likes it, I'll send some to your office tomorrow for you to try..."

Huang Ken said with a smile.

He opened his mouth.

Unsure of how to broach the subject.

Chen Fang noticed his hesitation.

He asked, "Director Huang, is there something on your mind? As brothers, just say what you need to say."

"It's not really a big deal, just... how to say it..."

"Just say it directly, no need for politeness, or else I won't dare to take your tea..."

"Alright, alright! I'll say it, I'll say it..."

Huang Ken had no other choice.

He certainly knew he shouldn't tell Chen Fang about such matters, or he'd be giving Chen Fang leverage. But Yang Pei's pressure was right in front of him, and he had to solve it. He hesitated but still recounted the story from beginning to end.

Of course.

Huang Ken still covered up part of the truth.

He made it sound like Liang Jingjing had deliberately seduced him, and that he made a mistake while drunk, leading to a big error.

While narrating the events.

He deliberately showed a remorseful manner.

After Chen Fang listened.

He furrowed his brows.

Said, "Director Huang, forgive me for being blunt, but this matter is somewhat difficult to handle."

"I know it's difficult, that's why I came to Brother Chen."

"Since you've come to me, I'll risk everything to handle this for you, Director Huang, let me tell you..."

Next.

Chen Fang leaned toward Huang Ken's ear and whispered a few words.

Huang Ken asked in surprise, "Where did you hear about this? Is it reliable?"

Chen Fang nodded.

Said, "If it weren't reliable, I wouldn't dare to mention it to Director Huang. Since Secretary Yang is acting this way, if you wait passively, it will be very disadvantageous. Taking initiative might offer a chance."

Huang Ken still looked troubled.

Chen Fang knew he was tempted, and all that was left was to add fuel to the fire.

After a pause, he said, "Director Huang, like I said, I'm only giving a suggestion; how you execute it is up to you."

Huang Ken nodded.

Said, "If it's true, I'll definitely act, but the lack of evidence is an issue."

"To be honest with Director Huang, it's something I heard from an intern police officer. As far as I know, he has the evidence."

Huang Ken was surprised.

"Oh? An intern? Who?"

"Jiang Feng from White Tower Police Station, but this kid is sly; if you go directly to him, he won't admit anything. But with some incentives, he'll definitely hand over the evidence."

Huang Ken's face lit up.

Asked, "Incentives, what kind of incentives?"

"That's up to Director Huang; within the system, what's more tempting than a promotion?"

Chen Fang said, feigning indifference.

Huang Ken paused.

Suddenly snapped his fingers.

Said, "Wasn't Chen Fu from White Tower Police Station arrested? If we let this kid take Chen Fu's place, wouldn't he be overjoyed?"

"Makes sense, Director Huang is resourceful. If Director Huang personally takes the appointment letter to him and gets the evidence, wouldn't it be settled in minutes?"

Upon hearing this.

Huang Ken immediately stood up.

Said, "I'll convene the party committee now to approve this appointment, then pay a visit to White Tower Police Station."

After saying that.

He stood up and shook Chen Fang's hand, saying, "Brother Chen, you truly are a blessing to me. Once this matter is settled, I'll host a dinner and invite Brother Chen for drinks."

"Don't be polite, we're brothers; saying that makes us seem like strangers... Director Huang, the matter is urgent; you focus on this first and we'll have a good chat after it's over."

After leaving these words.

Huang Ken personally saw Chen Fang out.

He remained silent for a long time.

Finally firmed up his decision.

Immediately called in his secretary, instructing him to notify party committee members to convene for a meeting right away...

...

Stepping out of the police station.

Fang Mei was already in the car waiting at the intersection.

As soon as Chen Fang got in the car.

Fang Mei asked with concern, "Is it settled?"

Chen Fang nodded, said, "Settled. Now, let them fight it out. Regardless of the result, Zhou Nongxin will be heavily affected. These two positions are very important; we need to figure out how to secure them."

Fang Mei nodded thoughtfully.

Asked, "What exactly did you tell Huang Ken?"

"Yang Pei's son Li Fu's traffic accident and intentional injury case…"

Chen Fang said.

Yang Pei married relatively late.

Not until she was over thirty did she, under her family's urging, go on a blind date with a high school teacher and swiftly entered the hall of marriage.

At 32, Yang Pei gave birth to her son Li Fu.

But merely two years later, ambitious Yang Pei grew tired of her husband's mediocrity, and they ultimately chose to divorce, with Li Fu being raised by his father.

Since her son didn't grow up with her, Yang Pei spoiled him considerably.

Maybe due to growing up in a single-parent family, Li Fu became extremely unruly.

Since middle school, he was constantly in trouble, big and small.

Almost entirely resolved by Yang Pei.

Last year, during the summer after Li Fu's high school graduation, he went for a drive with his girlfriend without a driving license in his father's car and ended up hitting a cleaner on a remote road.

After the traffic accident.

Li Fu not only neglected to check the cleaner's injuries.

Instead, because the cleaner glanced at the license plate.

The extremely vile Li Fu pulled out a spring knife he carried around, got out of the car, and stabbed the cleaner twice before driving away.

Afterward, the cleaner died.

Because the incident occurred on a stretch of road without surveillance or eyewitnesses, the case naturally became a cold case, and to this day, the police haven't solved it.

Huang Ken hadn't expected.

That this case was actually committed by Yang Pei's son.

Chen Fang's intentions were clear too.

He wants Huang Ken to go after Li Fu.

This way, Yang Pei would naturally have to negotiate with Huang Ken.

Both would have leverage over each other, take a step back, and the issue would be resolved.

Of course, Huang Ken didn't know the reason for Yang Pei's attack.

Once Huang Ken really does this.

It will only drive Yang Pei, losing both money and resources, even more insane. What the outcome will be, no one can say at that point...
