Starting as a town mayor, he rose through the ranks.

Hearing the busy tone from his phone, Liu Mingche was completely dumbfounded, and his expression became increasingly uncertain.

Despite his reluctance and unwillingness to apologize to Luo Zhiguo, that country bumpkin, he was still determined to do so.

But he dared not disobey his brother-in-law Zhang Qiang, because he understood his brother-in-law's personality.

If I really don't listen, I will definitely lose everything I have now and eventually have to leave Shunping County.

"Secretary Liu!"

Although he couldn't hear the contents of the phone, Wang Shichang could guess what was going on from Liu Ming's expression and conversation.

It must have been County Chief Zhang Qiang who called him, not only scolding him but also demanding that he go in and apologize to Luo Zhiguo.

"Captain Wang! What are you doing here?"

Liu Ming was so focused on answering the phone that he didn't even notice Wang Shichang was right next to him.

"I've been standing here the whole time!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shichang replied, then looked at him and couldn't help but complain, "Liu Ming! I've been suspended from my duties and given a major demerit for what happened tonight..."

These words made Liu Ming feel somewhat embarrassed, after all, others had fallen to such a state because of him.

"Ahem! Um, Captain Wang, I'll remember this favor, and I'll definitely repay it many times over when I have the chance..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shichang's expression softened somewhat. After a moment's thought, he looked at Liu Ming and asked in a deep voice, "How should we resolve the situation inside?"

"Hmph! What else can he do? That kid was lucky tonight. Next time, we'll crush him under our feet and make sure he never gets another chance to rise again."

Mentioning this matter made Liu Ming very agitated. He snorted coldly and said in a voice full of resentment.

Wang Shichang nodded but didn't reply. Liu Ming was the county magistrate's brother-in-law and had the confidence to get back at him.

But he was just a captain of the security team; he had neither the confidence nor the ability to get revenge.

"Let's go in and explain the misunderstanding from tonight, then get out of here quickly."

With a slight sigh, Wang Shichang patted Liu Ming on the shoulder and then strode towards the private room.

At that moment, Luo Zhiguo was slightly taken aback when he saw Wang Shichang and Liu Ming go out to answer phone calls.

However, his worries did not lessen at all, and he was still looking for an opportunity to rush out and prepare to escape with the virgin.

Qin Lu, Fan Ming, and two others saw through his plan and immediately separated to block the doorway, preventing him from escaping.

"Luo Zhiguo! You've offended Liu Ming, tonight I'll see how you die..."

Qin Lu stared at Luo Zhiguo with resentment in her eyes, gritting her teeth and speaking in a hateful voice.

Luo Zhiguo really didn't want to talk to her, so he didn't respond to her.

But he didn't respond, not understanding why the virgin wouldn't answer.

"Your name is Qin Lu, right? A woman like you is really not good enough for my senior brother..."

"you……"

Hearing this, Qin Lu's face turned ashen with anger. She glared fiercely at Tong Zhen and said coldly, "Only a woman like you who has never seen a man before would be interested in a piece of trash like Luo Zhiguo. But you've actually offended me tonight. I'm going to tear your mouth apart and make sure you can never speak again..."

At this moment, Wang Shichang and Liu Ming pushed open the door one after the other, both of them looking very unpleasant.

Upon seeing Liu Ming, Qin Lu didn't observe his expression. She immediately pointed at Tong Zhen and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Secretary Liu! While you were out answering the phone, that bitch humiliated me! I wanted to tear her mouth apart..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming, already feeling aggrieved, raised his hand and slapped her across the face, angrily shouting, "Don't bother me! Or I'll strip you naked and dump you on the street..."

Qin Lu was stunned, looking at Liu Ming in disbelief. She never expected that he would actually hit her.

Immediately, she was filled with resentment, but she dared not do anything to Liu Ming, so she could only hold her resentment against Luo Zhiguo.

"Um! Luo Zhiguo, I apologize for what happened earlier. It was our improper enforcement that caused trouble for you and this young lady..."

Wang Shichang walked up to Luo Zhiguo and apologized with a very sincere attitude.

Upon hearing his apology, Luo Zhiguo was stunned. He looked at him with suspicion, not understanding what he was up to or why he was suddenly apologizing to him.

Fan Ming and the other two, along with Qin Lu, who had just been slapped and looked aggrieved, were stunned when they saw this scene.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, unable to understand why Wang Shichang had suddenly apologized to Luo Zhiguo.

"Luo Zhiguo! You're lucky tonight, but next time I guarantee I'll crush you and make sure you never have a chance to rise again."

Just as everyone was staring blankly at Wang Shichang, Liu Ming spoke up.

He simply couldn't bring himself to apologize to Luo Zhiguo, so he had no choice but to back down and show weakness.

However, while showing weakness, he didn't forget to make a threat.

Perhaps feeling he couldn't explain himself to his brother-in-law, he thought for a moment, then looked at Tong Zhen and said sincerely, "Miss! I was rude just now, please apologize. You're welcome to visit Shunping County often. If you encounter any trouble, just tell me, and I'll help you solve it..."

Qin Lu, Fan Ming, and the others were completely dumbfounded. First, Wang Shichang apologized to Luo Zhiguo, and then Liu Ming, the county magistrate's brother-in-law, chose to show weakness and apologized to the woman next to Luo Zhiguo.

This left the group completely bewildered, unable to comprehend what had happened to cause the two to become like this.

Luo Zhiguo frowned, his sharp eyes fixed on Liu Ming and Wang Shichang. He racked his brains but couldn't understand why the two of them were apologizing to him.

"Could all of this have been done by a virgin?"

Suddenly, he remembered that Tong Zhen had been calm on the phone earlier, not taking the situation here seriously at all, and a sense of doubt arose in his heart.

However, there were too many people around, so he couldn't ask her directly. He planned to find another opportunity to ask her properly later.

"Luo Zhiguo! I've said what I needed to say, and I've apologized as needed. Let's leave it at that for tonight. I'll treat you better next time..."

Liu Ming had no intention of staying there any longer. He stared sharply at Luo Zhiguo, left his words, and then turned and walked out of the private room.

Seeing this, Qin Lu and Fan Ming quickly followed and soon left the private room.

"Luo Zhiguo! I'm sorry about tonight's incident, and also to this young lady. I'm very sorry for the trouble I've caused you."

Seeing that Liu Ming had left, Wang Shichang didn't want to stay any longer. He apologized to Luo Zhiguo and Tong Zhen again, then turned and led his men out of the private room.

"Secretary Liu! We're leaving now."

Upon exiting the private room, he saw Liu Ming and Qin Lu heading towards another private room. He quickly stepped forward, greeted them, and then left.

"Secretary! What exactly happened?"

After watching Wang Shichang leave, Fan Ming couldn't help but look at Liu Ming and ask him in a low voice.

Liu Ming didn't speak, but stepped into their private room, sat down, and drank several glasses of wine before saying, "None of you can spread what happened tonight. Didn't Luo Zhiguo promise to help the villagers sell aloe vera? I'll give him three days. If he still can't do it by then, Qin Lu, you immediately find a reason to place him under investigation..."
