216: Chapter 216 Han Peng’s Show-Off Technique 216: Chapter 216 Han Peng’s Show-Off Technique In the small garden, Xiang Yu gave Shi Jian some more instructions on collecting evidence of officials’ criminal activities before he returned to the ward.

After Shi Jian, Long Zaitian, and Zhang Hongbo left, the others stayed behind.

Wu Jing stayed behind temporarily as well because of his concerns for Xiang Yu’s safety.

That afternoon, while Xiang Yu was resting in his hospital bed, his phone suddenly rang—it was Su Guangrui calling.

“Xiang Yu, come quickly.

Secretary Mo wants to see you,” Su Guangrui said a bit excitedly.

In his heart, he had actually given up on Xiang Yu, viewing him as a naive youngster who wasn’t capable of accomplishing much; but to his surprise, Mo Aiguo sought him out, which caught him off guard.

“Now?”

“Right now, immediately,” urged Su Guangrui.

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yu got out of bed and prepared to head to the municipal party committee.

Although he was injured, it didn’t affect his ability to walk.

“Where are you going?” Long Wu asked as he saw Xiang Yu getting out of bed.

“Something urgent,” Xiang Yu replied without elaborating.

Then, after getting dressed, he went downstairs.

Wu Jing originally wanted to accompany him, but Xiang Yu refused, asking him to stay and protect Tie Zhuzi instead.

Xiao Xuan drove, with Long Wu sitting beside him with an icy face.

To outsiders, the pair might have seemed like siblings, both devoid of expression, which indeed made them resemble each other.

Upon arrival at the municipal party committee, Xiang Yu headed straight for Su Guangrui’s office, with Long Wu following him.

Seeing Xiang Yu arrive, Su Guangrui hurriedly asked him to take a seat, saying, “Secretary Mo just called me and wants to meet you.

You must be careful not to speak out of turn,” Su Guangrui warned, then finally glanced at Long Wu who was standing by Xiang Yu’s side.

“Don’t worry, I won’t speak carelessly.

Let’s go over now,” Xiang Yu said.

“He…” Su Guangrui hesitated as he looked at Long Wu, seemingly suggesting that she need not come along.

“He’s my secretary; we’ll go together,” Xiang Yu stated plainly.

Long Wu just looked at Xiang Yu and remained silent.

Su Guangrui reluctantly nodded, and then they headed toward Mo Aiguo’s secretary’s room.

Reaching Han Peng’s room, they found him surfing the internet, busy with something.

“Secretary Su, what brings you here?” Han Peng immediately stood up to greet him.

He had already noticed Xiang Yu but showed no intention of acknowledging him.

“Does Secretary Mo have time now?

We’d like to see him,” Su Guangrui said.

“Oh dear, you don’t have an appointment.

Just a moment ago, Secretary Mo reminded me not to allow anyone to disturb him,” Han Peng said.

Upon seeing Long Wu behind Xiang Yu, his eyes brightened, and he couldn’t help inwardly remarking on her stunning beauty.

With an awkward smile, Su Guangrui said, “Really?

Secretary Mo just called me himself, asking me to come over.”

How come I didn’t know?” Han Peng seemed genuinely surprised.

As the primary secretary, he was supposed to have complete control over the secretary’s schedule and appointments.

Mo Aiguo calling Su Guangrui certainly bypassed me, Han Peng, which indicates two possible reasons: first, that Mo Aiguo had an urgent matter, and second, that he no longer trusted this secretary.

Xiang Yu didn’t bother to explain to Han Peng and then walked straight toward Mo Aiguo’s office.

Seeing this, Han Peng grew anxious, as the naive young man obviously didn’t put him, the primary secretary, in his eyes.

Although Han Peng wasn’t a high-ranking official, many senior leaders respected him, not for anything else, but because he was the boss’s secretary.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu, the idiot, clearly failed to see the lay of the land.

“Stop right there, what do you think you’re doing?” Han Peng hurried over to Xiang Yu, attempting to grab him, but Long Wu stepped in front of Han Peng first.

Han Peng, looking fair and delicate, wasn’t the burly type obvious at a glance.

If it really came down to it, he was no match for Long Wu.

Seeing this devastating beauty blocking his way, Han Peng’s grudge against Xiang Yu deepened.

He wanted to impress the beautiful woman, to show her who truly deserved her allegiance.

“Xiang Yu, if you dare to take another step forward, I’ll call the police right now.

You’re looking at jail time,” Han Peng threatened.

Xiang Yu didn’t pay him any attention, just scoffed with a laugh and called him an idiot, before pushing the door open and walking in.

Han Peng was so furious he almost spat blood.

As the primary secretary, worshipped and respected wherever he went, he couldn’t believe that on this day he was being ignored by this troublemaker, especially in front of a beautiful woman.

Following behind, Su Guangrui couldn’t help but admire Xiang Yu’s boldness, or perhaps his ignorance.

After all, Han Peng was Mo Aiguo’s secretary, the so-called ‘second-in-command’, and in this city, crossing him meant trouble.

Yet, Xiang Yu seemed fearless.

Angrily, Han Peng whipped out his mobile phone while heading to Mo Aiguo’s office.

He had just connected with Captain Luo, hoping he could come to take this brat, Xiang Yu, away, when he happened to see Mo Aiguo and Xiang Yu shaking hands.

“Secretary Han, is there something you need from me?” A rugged voice sounded from the other end.

“Oh, it’s nothing, we should have a drink together when you’re free,” Han Peng deflected.

Captain Luo was initially taken aback, but then burst into laughter, hastily responding, “I’ll treat you when we have the chance.”

For Captain Luo, head of security for the municipal committee, getting a call from Han Peng was a great honor, especially when Han Peng suggested having a meal together.

This signaled a chance of promotion, naturally making him delighted.

Han Peng hung up the phone and then looked darkly at Xiang Yu and Mo Aiguo.

He was uncomfortable; first, because Mo Aiguo had contacted Su Guangrui without going through him, and second, because Xiang Yu had insulted him.

When Su Guangrui walked in, he also witnessed Mo Aiguo and Xiang Yu shaking hands.

He was a bit puzzled about what the blunt Xiang Yu had possibly said to Secretary Mo, as they seemed to be in good terms.

“Secretary Su, please take a seat first; I need to talk to Xiang Yu about something,” Mo Aiguo said, then went with Xiang Yu into the inner room.

Han Peng felt like his lungs were about to explode with rage.

Yet seeing Long Wu’s stunning beauty, his excitement returned.

Why would an idiot like Xiang Yu have such a gorgeous girlfriend?

With that thought, Han Peng walked over and sat opposite Long Wu, revealing a warm smile as he said, “Hello, my name is Han Peng, the secretary of Secretary Mo.” Han Peng then extended his hand towards Long Wu.

Su Guangrui, from a distance, could see right through Han Peng’s intentions, remaining silent.

Long Wu sat there, silent and unresponsive to Han Peng’s gesture.

Han Peng awkwardly withdrew his hand, but without anger said, “You might not know this, but being a secretary is very tiring.

You have to deal frequently with those local mayors and bureau chiefs, it’s really annoying.

Barely have any free time following Secretary Mo, and even on days off, they still come looking for favors.”

Han Peng outwardly seemed resigned, but in fact, he was bragging before Long Wu, “It’s really embarrassing to say, but I still don’t have a partner.

I had a lot of potential suitors, but simply no time…”
