The Beautiful County Magistrate

Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Xu Qianli, someone is single now, you have to take responsibility!

As Vice County Magistrate, Zeng Changyun couldn’t feel more humiliated after being slapped twice in public by his own wife.

He wanted to explode with anger but couldn’t, so he had to temporarily swallow his frustration. He was curious to see whether He Lili could actually produce the money or not.

As long as she couldn’t cough up the cash, she’d still be his.

Just as Zeng Changyun brimmed with confidence, He Lili took out her mobile phone, opened her banking app, and busily transferred a sum of money.

Soon, the financial account of Qingshan Town received the funds—an exact total of 360 million!

At this job fair, all departments of Qingshan Town participated, including naturally the Finance Office.

After Director Zhao Feng was taken away for investigation, his two deputies took over the duties. When there was a movement in the account balance, both of them were immediately notified and quickly made it public.

Witnessing this scene, Zeng Changyun was stunned.

Damn it, how is this possible, how could it be?

His wife, He Lili, was just a medium-sized beauty salon owner, at most worth twenty million. How could she have so much money?

million all at once, where did she get it from?

Could it be money that Xu Qianli had embezzled and entrusted to He Lili to manage?

No, that can’t be. Zeng Changyun was very clear about the extent of profits in Jiang City—if someone like Ge Changhong embezzled 360 million, he might believe it.

Xu Qianli, that piece of goods, he only worked as the County Magistrate’s secretary, the Government Office Director, for half a year. Even if he was extremely corrupt, he couldn’t have embezzled so much.

The only possibility was that all this time, He Lili had been hiding her wealth from him, intentionally making him think she was only worth twenty million.

"He Lili, to think I believed that you trusted me completely, kept nothing from me. Turns out your schemes run deep, always keeping something in reserve."

"No way, the divorce agreement doesn’t count. Even if you want to divorce me, you must split your wealth with me, or I won’t agree!"

"Thinking of kicking me aside and leaving me penniless, dream on!"

Realizing he might have been played, Zeng Changyun completely lost his composure, and, disregarding his image, burst out yelling like a shrew.

He couldn’t care less about that woman, He Lili.

But he was extremely keen on He Lili’s money.

After all, He Lili had at least a couple of billion in wealth, and he was determined to take half!

Facing Zeng Changyun’s rampage, He Lili felt nothing but disgust.

Not disgust for Zeng Changyun, but for her former self.

She was a fool for having her heart blinded by him, actually falling for such trash and marrying him, aware of his incompetence, yet she let him deceive her into living like a widow for ten years.

Stupid, truly as stupid as a pig.

Regarding what Zeng Changyun had claimed, He Lili responded coldly, "The agreement we just made is witnessed by so many here. As the Vice County Magistrate of Jiang City, you surely wouldn’t go back on your word, would you?"

"So what if I do? After all, you and I are a married couple. As long as I don’t agree to the divorce, and we haven’t processed the divorce papers, you’re still my wife!"

"You either continue with me, or you give me half of your wealth!"

Zeng Changyun couldn’t bother to pretend anymore, his greed completely on display.

He might not keep his wife, but the money, he must keep.

No matter how much money He Lili had, he demanded half of it!

As long as he got his hands on the money, with wealth, he could live an incomparably carefree and joyful life. Moreover, he could make use of the money to rise through the ranks and reach heights he had never even dared to imagine.

Zeng Changyun’s wishful thinking clanked loudly like a well-rehearsed tune, amusing Xu Qianli enough that he couldn’t help but speak.

"Alright, alright. I’ve truly come to understand the character of Vice County Magistrate Zeng."

"Untrustworthy, greedy, and shamelessly thick-skinned. You really do command a second look."

Zeng Changyun bellowed, "Shut up! How dare you, Xu Qianli, question my character? Today you’re lucky, but you won’t always be so fortunate. Wait and see!"

Since he could not stop the investment conference and faced many people pointing fingers, Zeng Changyun had no face to stay any longer. He gave Xu Qianli and He Lili a meaningful glance and stormed off.

Xu Qianli seized the moment to speak.

"Vice County Magistrate Zeng, take care, no need for us to see you out."

"Next time you think of coming to Qingshan Town to cause trouble and thwart our development, you might want to bring a few bodyguards. After all, our Qingshan Town is poor, and they say poverty breeds cunning folk. What if you get beaten up by one of them?"

Xu Qianli’s voice was loud, deliberately raising it for all to hear.

Upon hearing his words, several villagers who’d blended into the crowd at the conference charged forward, kicking Zeng Changyun over and pinning him to the ground for a good beating.

"Mommy, stop, spare me, please spare me..."

Zeng Changyun was beaten so badly he cried for his parents, with both feces and urine flowing in his pants, a truly pitiable sight.

Sadly, no matter how loudly he wailed, no one came to his aid; everyone was busy enjoying the spectacle.

The officials of Qingshan Town naturally had no fondness for someone who wanted to sabotage their tourist development and economic progress.

The business delegates could see he was no good, and most regarded him with disdain.

For a moment, everyone was gleefully watching him getting beaten to the point of soiling himself.

After a while, the villagers stopped. Zeng Changyun, having narrowly escaped death, ignored his excruciating pain and scrambled away as fast as he could.

Following this episode, the investment conference continued.

Due to the pressure from Giant Communication Group, still no one was willing to invest.

As the end time approached, Xu Qianli stepped forward to announce the conclusion of the Qingshan Town tourism development investment conference.

Although it was unclear what mishap had befallen the Fan family, preventing them from attending, the conference had still managed to secure an investment of twelve billion, which was a resounding success.

According to the original plan, a celebration banquet followed the investment conference.

In a villa in Qingshan Town, the banquet was ready, with the staff of Qingshan Town arranging for the business delegates to head there.

He Lili deliberately lingered behind. Seeing that most had departed, she sauntered over to Xu Qianli on her perfect legs and whispered, "Naughty brother, your sister is going to be single from now on, all thanks to you. You better take responsibility."

After speaking, He Lili cast a flirtatious glance at Xu Qianli and then sashayed away, her hips swaying enticingly.

Today she wore a light purple chiffon cutout long-sleeve blouse and a white high-waisted pencil skirt. The figure-hugging material excellently accentuated her curves, revealing a sultry silhouette.

As she turned, the roundness of her hips swayed hypnotically, which made Xu Qianli’s heart race, and his breathing quickened.

What a temptress. He had to take her down as quickly as possible and have her bear his children!

As Xu Qianli was staring, He Lili suddenly turned her head and gave him a look filled with coquettish desire, then puckered her already seductive red lips at him.

Naughty brother, if you want to take me down, just try.
