Chapter 120: Chapter 120 He Chengjun Got into Trouble

Last night, Ji Yang drank quite a bit and randomly picked a hotel to stay in.

When he woke up, it was already bright outside.

After freshening up, Ji Yang sat there, somewhat lost in thought; he really didn’t know what to do next.

He left the hotel, found a small eatery in an alley, and had a bowl of noodles, wandering around the city afterward.

At that time, Chu Shuyuan called him, and after asking about his situation, she laughed, "Your holiday hasn’t found its place yet; you’re just doomed to be busy."

"It can’t be helped; I’m starting to understand those retired leaders. It’s indeed hard for them to adapt after stepping down."

Chu Shuyuan laughed heartily, obviously in a good mood, and said, "Alright, the matters here are almost settled, and there’s nothing for you here anymore. You’ll get your due credit; if you feel uncomfortable staying, feel free to go home."

Ji Yang agreed, and thinking he hadn’t been home in quite some time, he decided to visit.

After buying a bus ticket, Ji Yang also thought about the need to buy a car.

Given his current financial situation and some money earned later, he could indeed afford a small car.

An hour later, Ji Yang returned to the residential area where his parents lived.

Both his parents were workers at the city’s agricultural machinery plant—a very ordinary family. His father was still working, his mother was retired, and he had a younger sister in high school.

Seeing Ji Yang coming home, his mother, Li Shujuan, smiled and said, "Why did you think of coming home today, it’s not a holiday or festive season."

"Can’t I come home if it’s not a holiday?"

Li Shujuan, clearly delighted, said, "Go rest for a bit. I’ll go buy some groceries." With that, she hastily headed to the market.

Although the family’s living conditions were very ordinary, Ji Yang felt very comfortable.

He made himself a cup of tea and sat there, sipping the tea while thinking about recent events.

Honestly, Ji Yang still felt as if he was dreaming; so much had happened recently, especially concerning his relations with several women—something Ji Yang had never imagined.

As he was pondering, suddenly, his phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, it was Miao Xiaoying.

"Chief Ji, something has happened," Miao Xiaoying said softly.

Her voice clearly carried a tone of panic.

"What happened?"

"Just now, Mayor He’s wife came, accompanied by her brother. They caught Mayor He in bed with another woman. Her brother beat Mayor He and even smashed his genitals."

"What?" Ji Yang was also somewhat surprised.

"Everyone’s gone to see, Secretary Yan also rushed over, and I have to go take a look too," said Miao Xiaoying.

Miao Xiaoying quickly hung up the phone.

Ji Yang also somewhat understood Miao Xiaoying’s thinking; after having urged her to get closer to He Chengjun secretly, He Chengjun really had plans to use Miao Xiaoying.

Regardless of He Chengjun’s motives, he treated Miao Xiaoying well and even wanted to promote her to a director position. If Miao Xiaoying wasn’t grateful to He Chengjun, it would be impossible.

However, today’s incident had propelled the whole situation in an unpredictable direction.

While guessing the potential repercussions, Huang Yu called.

"Mayor He’s wife busted him for cheating; He’s genitals got smashed, and his wife’s family holds considerable influence in the city," Huang Yu informed.

Ji yang wanted to ask if Huang Yu had engineered the situation but ultimately didn’t.

However, from Huang Yu’s words, he grasped that Mayor He’s wife’s family was influential; perhaps Mayor He’s rise and his wife were closely connected, but with such an incident, would her family still support him?

This Huang Yu!

Ji Yang knew without asking that Huang Yu had definitely played a part in this.

"As far as I know, it was Yan Xingshun’s brother-in-law who leaked the news about He Chengjun," Huang Yu revealed.

Ji Yang gasped; Yan Xingshun was also implicated.

If investigated by higher authorities, it would be easy to figure out the situation. Although Yan Xingshun wasn’t directly involved, his family had reported it, leading to He Chengjun being beaten. How would the higher-ups view Yan Xingshun?

Huang Yu hung up after a few words.

Their conversation, if overheard, would seem as if Huang Yu was just updating Ji Yang, hiding the fact that it was orchestrated by them.

Previously, Huang Yu had intended to cooperate with Gui Ping; this time, it was unclear if Gui Ping was involved.

Ji Yang pondered for a moment before deciding to call Chu Shuyuan and relayed the incident.

Chu Shuyuan also expressed surprise, "Who would do such a thing?"

Ji Yang knew she was inquiring if the incident was related to him, and he replied, "I’m not sure about this."

"I understand. Don’t worry about it; let them sort it out," she said.

Ji Yang ended the call, lit a cigarette, and stood there thinking through the situation carefully. With such an incident, the higher-ups now had a pretext to replace someone. What would happen next was anybody’s guess.

Since Chu Shuyuan advised him not to get involved, Ji Yang had no intention of going back right away; unless called back urgently, he decided to enjoy a few days before returning.

Ji Yang was truly at a loss about how Huang Yu and the others had managed to orchestrate this.

In the following days, several village officials called, discussing the incident.

Combining their accounts, Ji Yang realized, He Chengjun and the nanny were practically living as a family—eating together, sleeping together, the nanny being quite attractive. After his wife learned this, she was furious and came with her brother, who was known for his explosive temper. They stormed in when He Chengjun was in bed, resulting in the attack.

It was said that He Chengjun’s wife was relentlessly pursuing the matter.

Ji Yang could only shake his head.
