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

Luo Zhiguo looked up at Qin Lu with a sharp gaze, even though this woman had left him when he was at his lowest point and had even humiliated him in collusion with others.

I'm just angry about all of this, but I don't hate her, because it's always been a woman's nature to love the rich and despise the poor.

But to my surprise, she brought people from the Discipline Inspection Commission to arrest me, claiming that she had received a report.

Anyone with half a brain can tell that his embezzlement and lifestyle issues are just excuses.

Their real intention was to arrest me and take me to the disciplinary committee, then frame me for some fabricated crime.

"Qin Lu! Is this a report filed under your real name?"

"Luo Zhiguo! Stop talking nonsense and come with us obediently, or I'll force you to use force."

Qin Lu did not answer the question, but stared at Luo Zhiguo with a serious expression and reprimanded him in a very stern voice.

At the same time, she sneered inwardly, a playful glint in her eyes, and murmured, "Luo Zhiguo, Luo Zhiguo! Don't blame me for being ruthless. I have no choice but to use you as a stepping stone if I want to climb the ladder. So you can only blame your bad luck for not having a powerful father and being assigned to Bohou Town to take the blame..."

Luo Zhiguo sighed slightly. It seemed he couldn't escape it today. He thought that if he was forced to take the blame, the worst outcome would be being removed from the system.

But to my surprise, I underestimated the ruthlessness of the other party, who actually wanted to put me in there to work on the sewing machine.

It must be said that those big shots are no pushovers. As the saying goes, "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand," and those who climb to the top have countless bones under their feet.

"Alright! I'll go with you..."

Looking at Qin Lu, he stood up, and then two men followed him out of the office, went straight downstairs and got into a car.

Everyone in the Party and government office was shocked to see this scene. They never expected that the county discipline inspection commission would come and take Luo Zhiguo away at this time.

Immediately, the crowd began to discuss the matter, with some saying that Luo Zhiguo had been corrupt and had an improper lifestyle while serving as the secretary to the county party secretary, and that he had been having affairs with multiple women at the same time.

Some say that he was sent down to take the blame, and although he has now helped the villagers find a way to sell aloe vera, the bigwigs above him will not let him off the hook.

There were all sorts of rumors circulating.

Ye Hao and Qian Tao went to Chen Hua's office immediately after Luo Zhiguo was taken away.

"Secretary! The county discipline inspection commission suddenly took Luo Zhiguo away at this time. I think something's not simple. There's probably something fishy going on..."

Upon entering the office and seeing Chen Hua sitting at his desk, Ye Hao's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hua's face turned extremely gloomy. He lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and looked at Qian Tao, asking, "Old Qian! What do you think about this?"

"Secretary! I think Old Ye is right. The county discipline inspection commission suddenly came and took Luo Zhiguo away, especially at this time. There must be something fishy going on. It might even be that person's doing..."

The person Qian Tao was referring to was Liu Ming, the name Chen Hua least wanted to hear.

Although he was also one of County Magistrate Zhang Qiang's men, he disliked Liu Ming very much.

Because when Liu Ming was the mayor of Bohou Town, he always suppressed him, the party secretary, and treated him like a subordinate.

Therefore, he disliked this person very much and didn't want to hear his name.

However, after Qian Tao's reminder, he recalled Fan Ming, Zhou Guan, and Li Xiumei's behavior at yesterday's Party Committee meeting.

He couldn't help but wonder if Liu Ming had arranged this.

Given Fan Ming's personality and past practices, he would definitely have stood up to fight for the benefits at a Party committee meeting like yesterday's.

Zhou Guan and Li Xiumei will also stand up to fight for their interests.

But yesterday, Fan Ming, Zhou Guan, and Li Xiumei all behaved very strangely. Not only did they not stand up to fight for their interests, they also remained silent.

Thinking of this, his face darkened, and he said coldly, "It seems Liu Ming has also set his sights on the lucrative aloe vera market, which is why Fan Ming, Zhou Guan, and Li Xiumei didn't speak up at yesterday's meeting..."

"Wasn't that person promoted to Party Secretary elsewhere? Why is he still involved in Bohou Town's affairs?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao frowned, his expression full of suspicion as he asked.

"Hmph! Although Liu Ming was transferred and promoted to Party Secretary of another township, he was the one who spearheaded the aloe vera planting project in Bohou Town. If things were still the same as before, he wouldn't have interfered, but things are different now, so he also wants to reap the benefits, and he's going to keep it all for himself..."

Chen Hua sneered and analyzed through gritted teeth.

Qian Tao frowned, then suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed, "He probably had the Discipline Inspection Commission take Luo Zhiguo away, and then reaped the benefits..."

"That's right!"

Chen Hua nodded, his face grim.

Ye Hao understood as well, and his face turned extremely ugly. He hadn't expected the matter to be so complicated, and it wasn't just them eyeing this lucrative opportunity.

Even Liu Ming had his eye on Luo Zhiguo, wanting to take advantage of him, and even took action. It has to be said, this person's methods are truly ruthless.

"Secretary! What do we do now?"

Looking at Chen Hua, Ye Hao asked in a deep voice.

Chen Hua remained silent; clearly, he didn't know what to do either.

After all, Liu Ming is the county magistrate's brother-in-law, so he must have had the county magistrate's permission to do this.

He's just a Party Secretary; he can't fight city hall. Even if he wanted to solve the problem, he was powerless to do so.

While some are sad, others are happy. Unlike the oppressive atmosphere in Chen Hua's office, Fan Ming's office was filled with joy.

"Hahahaha! Did you guys see that just now? Luo Zhiguo looked like he'd lost his parents when he was taken away. It was hilarious..."

Fan Ming sat on the sofa, looking at Zhou Guan and Li Xiumei, and said with a smug smile.

Zhou Guan and Li Xiumei were also smiling smugly. Zhou Guan looked at Fan Ming and said, "If Luo Zhiguo knew that the buyer he worked so hard to find would not only have his peaches picked by someone else, but also be sent to a sewing machine by his ex-girlfriend, I wonder if he would go crazy from the shock..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, Fan Ming laughed wildly a few times, then a glint of malice flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "Instead of obediently taking the blame, he insisted on causing trouble, and he was so arrogant. He deserves to be driven crazy..."

"That's right! He deserved it. If I could see how arrogant he was yesterday, I'd like to go to the disciplinary committee and see what he looks like now..."

Li Xiumei gritted her teeth. Yesterday morning in the small auditorium, she, Fan Ming, and Zhou Guan were humiliated by Luo Zhiguo, who trampled them on the ground.

Thinking about all this, she wanted nothing more than to tear Luo Zhiguo apart and vent her anger.
