Chapter 455: Chapter 455 Secretary Zou, You Only Have One Way to Go!

Xu Qianli pointed to his own nose.

"After all that, it was because of Xia Dongyang?"

"You really went too far!"

"The reason I took care of him was because he hired a few gunmen to assassinate me, wanting to kill me."

"I still have a scar on my arm from that gunshot wound back then!"

"And you, you actually came to hate me, set me up, and wanted to curse me into a disastrous pitfall. I can’t believe you could do such a thing!"

Xu Qianli was furiously upset, thinking to himself where he might have gone wrong to have offended her.

He never imagined it was for such a reason.

Feeling Xu Qianli’s rage, Jiang Yufei put on a smiling face.

"I was wrong, isn’t it enough that I admit my mistake?"

"I was also confused for a moment, that’s why I acted that way toward you."

"You’re fine now, and on the other hand, you’ve caught me. Calm down, let’s talk this over."

"You remember my proposal just now, right? My husband is the City Secretary, just let me go this time, and I’ll definitely have him promote you, how about that?"

Jiang Yufei was waiting, hoping for Xu Qianli to agree.

As long as Xu Qianli agreed, the matter would be considered handled.

Xu Qianli scoffed, "Do you think I, Xu Qianli, am a fool, to be appeased by just a few words? As for a promotion, I’ve just become Deputy County Magistrate, it’s impossible to get promoted again in a short time. Your husband Zou Ming is destined to resign from Zhongzhou City next year, how would he promote me then?"

Jiang Yufei thought about it, realizing he was right. She then suggested, "Then how about this, I’ll give you money, twenty million, how about that? Most of my money was invested in Xia Dongyang’s company, and that’s gone, but I still have twenty million on hand. Take it and let me off the hook."

"I’m not interested in your money!" Xu Qianli sternly refused.

"Then what are you interested in?"

Jiang Yufei suddenly looked down at her full chest and charming long legs, suddenly showing a hint of shyness.

"You... you wouldn’t be interested in my body, would you?"

"No way, if something happens between us, my husband will kill me, it won’t work."

"Xu Qianli, I beg you, I really made a mistake in a moment of confusion, letting Zhang Jian go against you, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this one time."

"As long as you forgive me, my husband and I will definitely help you as much as we can. Even if we can’t promote you, we can still help you in other areas."

"Not to mention, the new County Party Secretary of Jiang City, Fu Guotai, and the County Magistrate Lan Qianrong, neither of them get along with you. With those two suppressing you in Jiang City, you basically have no room to develop in the future."

"My husband can help you, move you to another county under Zhongzhou City, with three districts and nine counties, you can choose freely."

Xu Qianli responded, "I will not go anywhere! As for you, someone will come soon to take a statement, explain everything clearly about the crimes you committed. As for how to deal with you, I will consider it carefully."

With those words, Xu Qianli quickly left the detention room.

Outside, two policewomen were already waiting and soon entered the detention room to take a statement.

Wu Kai came over, "Buddy, we’ve really stirred up a storm this time. How do you think we should wrap this up?"

"How to wrap this up?"

"We don’t need to worry about that, someone else will think it through for us."

"Just wait, the people should be arriving soon."

As Xu Qianli spoke, several cars entered the city bureau.

The cars stopped, and the leader was none other than Zou Ming.

Followed by the Director of the City Public Security Bureau and others, their forceful presence clearly indicated hostile intentions.

Xu Qianli greeted them with a smile, "Secretary Zou, what wind blew you over here?"

Zou Ming’s face was ashen, and he said sternly, "You know exactly what this is about, so stop playing dumb! Where is my wife? I’m warning you, if she suffers even the slightest grievance, I won’t forgive you! Also, why did you arrest her? You must give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise you know the consequences!"

Fuming, Zou Ming came to Jiang City and immediately confronted Xu Qianli.

He really wanted to ask, where did Xu Qianli get the guts to arrest his wife?

Xu Qianli lowered his voice, "Secretary Zou, some matters are not convenient to discuss in public, how about we find a place to talk alone?"

Zou Ming hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and followed Xu Qianli into a room.

After closing the door, Zou Ming adjusted his collar and said hurriedly, "Alright, there’s no one else here, speak up, what’s the reason?"

Xu Qianli asked, "Do you remember Xia Dongyang, Secretary Zou?"

Hearing the name Xia Dongyang, Zou Ming’s eyes flickered, then he said, "I know him, he’s a businessman from our Jiang City. I heard he got caught for some offense. I’m asking about my wife, why did you bring him up?"

Xu Qianli was sure that Zou Ming definitely knew about the affair between Jiang Yufei and Xia Dongyang.

Previously, when Wu Kai led a team to arrest Fang Xiong, they unexpectedly obtained a USB drive. The content was all about the unsavory dealings of some people in Zhongzhou City, including some dirt on Zou Ming.

This guy was not so clean, sleeping around and taking black money.

Could it be that Xia Dongyang, the so-called big boss, was actually his man, responsible for managing the money he took?

Upon that thought, Xu Qianli felt enlightened. Jiang Yufei had mentioned having a small share in Xia Dongyang’s company, but for such a small share, would she risk retaliating against herself?

If Xia Dongyang’s company was actually owned by both Zou Ming and Jiang Yufei, it made sense.

Zou Ming was really patient. He had been superficially helping Xu Qianli until today when he finally showed his true colors. Xu Qianli couldn’t help but admire such deep scheming.

Zou Ming, feeling uneasy under Xu Qianli’s intense scrutiny, said impatiently, "Don’t stay silent, just tell me, what do you want? Or what are you seeking?"

Xu Qianli quickly responded.

"Since Secretary Zou you are so straightforward, I’ll get straight to the point."

"You have two choices now, either watch your wife Jiang Yufei go to jail and pay for her mistakes."

"Setting up traps against officials and betraying a top domestic celebrity, it’s not a minor issue, it’s at least five years and above."

"If it’s discovered that she was involved in Xia Dongyang’s case with conspiracy of hired murder, it will be even more troublesome."

"If further investigation reveals a large amount of money with no legal source invested in Xia Dongyang’s company, it’s probably more than just trouble."

Xu Qianli said calmly, each sentence making Zou Ming’s heart pound.

Zou Ming thought to himself that Xu Qianli was truly formidable, how could he know so much?

If these matters really came to light, it’s not just his wife who would end up in prison, it would also implicate him.

Forget about a promotion next year, he might even struggle to hold onto his position as Secretary of the Zhongzhou City Municipal Committee.

No, he couldn’t let such a thing happen.

"What’s the second option, let’s hear it?"
