Chapter 351: Chapter 351: Liu Piaoxue’s Decision

Liu Piaoxue was intelligent, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to get into a prestigious university. Over the past few years, she had seen too many things, which had matured her considerably.

After some thought, Liu Piaoxue’s expression became frozen; she suddenly realized what Ji Yang meant.

As a newly appointed county head, Ji Yang initially resisted appointing her as his secretary. Even yesterday, Ji Yang still kept a certain distance from her. So why had he suddenly said those things to her today?

As a leader, he definitely wouldn’t speak carelessly.

Since Ji Yang could talk to her in such a manner, it indicated that he did so deliberately.

So, the question arose, what exactly did he mean?

Liu Piaoxue was privy to Ji Yang’s every move in the past few days, with the sole exception of his trip to the market—his only moment out of her watchful eye. Did this mean that something had transpired during that time?

At this thought, Liu Piaoxue’s complexion changed, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something had indeed happened.

If something had really happened, it would be serious; perhaps, the events occurring within the county were related to him.

But why would Ji Yang reveal these things to her, knowing that she was on the opposing side?

Perhaps Ji Yang was no longer worried about her, nor did he fear that she would report the matters to Mo Chengguo and the others.

The more she understood these things, the uglier Liu Piaoxue’s expression became. She dreaded thinking of a very bad outcome—that Ji Yang and his group were prepared and might net their prey at any moment.

Netting their prey!

Liu Piaoxue’s heart trembled.

She knew well the kind of power Mo Chengguo and his backers possessed. Ji Yang’s willingness to move against such forces meant his own backing must be even more significant.

What to do?

Her first instinct was to report the matter to Mo Chengguo.

However, she quickly dismissed the idea. Deep down, she actually despised Mo Chengguo. Previously, knowing the strength of the factions behind him, and their control over the underworld forces, she had to suppress these thoughts.

Now, things had changed. Ji Yang and his people were not afraid of those forces, suggesting that everything might be within their control, and Mo Chengguo’s downfall could be imminent.

What about herself?

Although not part of Mo Chengguo’s core circle, Liu Piaoxue had assisted in some tasks. If she continued to align with them, she knew it was very likely she would be ruined completely.

She was at the prime of her life; how could she just throw it all away?

Liu Piaoxue’s face shifted through various shades of emotion; the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, as she hadn’t really done anything too outrageous.

Now, she fully understood Ji Yang’s intention. He was testing her, wanting to see her true stance, possibly even trying to flush out the enemy by startling them.

Regardless of Ji Yang and his people’s intentions, Liu Piaoxue felt powerless. Facing those formidable figures, even someone like Mo Chengguo, who did whatever he pleased in the county, seemed insignificant.

Right, Ji Yang was new to Chunshui County; he needed people too, and she was one of his targets. If she defected to Ji Yang’s side at this juncture, perhaps?

Liu Piaoxue wasn’t opposed to defecting to Ji Yang’s side, even to the extent of becoming his mistress. Compared to the alternatives, she preferred to follow Ji Yang.

Having realized all this, a new sparkle appeared in Liu Piaoxue’s eyes. If she provided some information on Mo Chengguo and his group, perhaps she could avert this danger.
