The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 321: Scandal!

Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Scandal!

Si Yating ran too hastily and slammed into something too hard, her body weakened, and she fell backward to the ground, motionless.

Xu Qianli was completely shocked. "Oh my god" she was too reckless; he just hoped she was okay.

He quickly rushed over to check on Si Yating’s condition. She had already lost consciousness, her eyes rolled back, convulsing on the ground with white foam at the corners of her mouth; her condition was terrible.

He couldn’t care about anything else, Xu Qianli fiercely picked up Si Yating, burst through the door, and rushed out. Ignoring the strange looks from others, he carried her straight out of the government complex, got into his car, and drove straight to Jiang City.

It was clear that Si Yating had hit her head due to the collision. Such injuries could be big or small, but with the medical resources at Qingshan Town Hospital, it definitely wouldn’t suffice. He needed to rush her to Jiang City County Hospital for treatment.

Xu Qianli floored the gas pedal, racing all the way, hoping to get there in time so that she wouldn’t have any complications.

Back at the government complex, the bystanders had no idea what had happened; they just saw Xu Qianli carrying an exceptionally beautiful and sexy woman running out of the office, rushing to the car and driving off.

Many people had already started commenting. Could it be that Xu Qianli and that beautiful woman were fooling around in the office, and he, being too vigorous, had caused the woman to faint, and that’s why he was in such a hurry to take her to the hospital for emergency treatment?

There had long been rumors that Xu Qianli had a huge appetite in certain respects, and that ordinary women simply couldn’t handle him. It seemed there might really be some truth to it.

Even more so, many people vividly discussed the scandalous affairs between Xu Qianli and several attractive female subordinates including Li Xiaoju, speaking as though they had witnessed it with their own eyes, knowing every position.

Lin Feng, who had just taken office as the Deputy Town Chief of Qingshan Town, got wind of this news and immediately went to find his cousin Lin Monong.

"Cousin, what was Xu Qianli thinking, fooling around with a beautiful woman at such a critical moment, fainting her and then disregarding public opinion to rush her to the hospital? He’s practically handing us ammunition on a silver platter."

"Shall we take this opportunity to teach him a harsh lesson?"

"Even if we can’t pull him down from his secretary position right away, it’s enough to disgust him."

Lin Monong slightly shook his head upon hearing this, walked to the window, and pondered for a while before responding.

"You underestimate Xu Qianli too much."

"If he were really fooling around with a beautiful woman during work hours and hiding in the office, how could he be so careless as to make the woman faint and need to rush her for emergency treatment?"

"I guess, there must be another reason for the woman’s unconsciousness."

"Even if what you said is true, do you have solid evidence?"

Lin Feng listened and realized, "So you’re saying, we just let this opportunity slip by?"

"Not necessarily."

"Although we can’t take immediate action, it at least gives us an idea on how to deal with him."

"Men, how many of them don’t like young and beautiful women? Xu Qianli, being young and strong, is certainly no exception."

"Let’s start by having someone investigate his private life to find out how many women are actually around him."

"On the other side, we should also continue to woo Qingshan Town’s officials and even intensify our efforts. We must completely marginalize Xu Qianli!"

"Once Xu Qianli is marginalized in Qingshan Town and holds no real power, if we then have something on him, wouldn’t we easily be able to crush him completely?"

Lin Monong calmly strategized for Lin Feng.

She came with Lin Feng to Qingshan Town this time to act as a strategist, planning and safeguarding Lin Feng’s interests.

Every stumbling block in Lin Feng’s path was to be cleared by her, especially Xu Qianli, who was the primary target to deal with.

She had already planned to settle scores with Xu Qianli; today at Wild Game Villa, Xu Qianli humiliated her, causing her to lose her shoes and rip her dress. She remembered this debt clearly and was determined to settle with Xu Qianli sooner or later!

Lin Feng nodded and gave a thumbs-up, "Cousin, you’re indeed smart. It’s a pity you’re not a man; otherwise, you’d definitely be the one the family focuses on nurturing, not me."

"Don’t sell yourself short, cousin. You just haven’t settled yet. Once you gain some experience in society, and once your temperament steadies, your strategies will match anyone."

"For now, let me shield you from the wind and rain and clear all obstacles for you!"

"Xu Qianli, I’ll make him scram sooner or later to clear the way for your career!"

Lin Monong said this and sneered, "Xu Qianli, you bastard, just you wait, you’ll be crying soon!"

On the other hand, Xu Qianli rushed Si Yating to Jiang City County Hospital in the shortest time and handed her over to Liu Qian.

Upon learning that Si Yating was unconscious from the impact, Liu Qian did not dare to delay and immediately arranged for an examination.

When the examination results came out, Xu Qianli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Si Yating had only a mild concussion and there were no serious injuries. She would recover with a day or two of rest.

Soon, she was wheeled into the ward and put on an IV drip.

Xu Qianli stayed by the bedside, waiting for Si Yating to wake up.

Although her blackout was due to her own recklessness and not related to him, it had happened in his office, so he felt obliged to take care of her.

Moreover, he had once shared hardships with this woman and still felt a bit of affection for her.

Liu Qian approached Xu Qianli, glancing at him with displeasure, "Xu Qianli, aren’t you capable? It’s only been a few days since you went to Qingshan Town, and you’ve already hooked up with such a beautiful woman. I bet you’ll end up dying in the arms of a woman one day!"

Xu Qianli quickly pulled Liu Qian into his arms, "Qianqian, you’re wronging me. I really have nothing to do with her. Her fainting was purely accidental. The reason I know her..."

Xu Qianli explained the whole situation.

After learning about it, Liu Qian was not as concerned about Si Yating as she was about Xu Qianli.

"You say that Deputy County Chief Lin, upon arriving at Qingshan Town, immediately started winning over local officials to sideline you. Most of the local officials are tempted. So, what are you planning to do?"

Xu Qianli said, "Staying unchanged in response to myriad changes will suffice. Qianqian, don’t worry about the deceitful tactics of officialdom. I can handle it. Look, I have something to discuss with you—I’m planning to bring Meixin home to visit my parents in a while, would you like to join us?"

"Visit uncle and auntie?"

Liu Qian’s heart tightened, and she instantly became shy, turning her face away, unable to look at Xu Qianli.

"You and Xiao Ding are lovers; it’s natural for you to take her to visit your parents. What am I supposed to be in this scenario?"

"Besides, would Xiao Ding mind?"

"You shouldn’t say that; she doesn’t know anything about this. That’s absurd."
