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

After leaving the hospital, Chu Hao had no appetite for lunch. Upon returning to his office, he immediately dialed the number of County Head Zhang Qiang.

"Old Zhang! Are you free? Let's meet up."

At this moment, he no longer addressed Zhang Qiang as the county magistrate, implying that they were meeting in a private capacity.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang immediately knew why he had asked him to meet. After a moment's hesitation, he agreed to meet him.

In fact, Zhang Qiang was also very unhappy at this moment because of what happened yesterday, although he did not give the order.

But he knew everything Liu Ming did, and it could even be said that it was Liu Ming's idea.

He also knew that Luo Zhiguo had been taken to the county discipline inspection commission yesterday, which is why there had been no reaction.

There are three meanings. First, it is to test whether Luo Zhiguo and Tong Wu are really related, since he only heard about this from Chu Hao and did not see it with his own eyes.

Secondly, he also harbored the intention to get rid of Luo Zhiguo, since he was somewhat uneasy about having someone with connections to city leaders in the county.

Third, as planned, I will completely distance myself from this matter and let those people do whatever they want.

He just didn't expect that his brother-in-law, Liu Mingcheng, was more trouble than he was worth and made things so big.

Also, Tong Wu's movements were really too sharp. I thought he would call Chu Hao to mention Luo Zhiguo's matter.

But they didn't even make a phone call; they just pulled out all the stops. Now, the working group has come down, making the whole of Shunping County tense.

"Old Zhang! What happened yesterday was too much."

In a teahouse, two people sat facing each other, with a tea table between them and two cups of steaming tea on it.

Chu Hao lit a cigarette expressionlessly, exhaled a smoke ring, looked at Zhang Qiang opposite him, and said in a reproachful tone.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang picked up his teacup, blew on it, took a sip, put the teacup down, looked at him, sighed slightly, and said, "Old Chu! I really didn't know anything about what happened yesterday, nor did I instigate it. It was all my brother-in-law who did it using my name. I'm very helpless about it."

"snort!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Hao snorted coldly, not believing his words at all.

His gaze sharpened as he stared at Zhang Qiang, and he said in a deep voice, "Old Zhang! We've worked together for several years now, and we've always gotten along very well. I was very disappointed and heartbroken by what happened yesterday, but I don't want it to happen again. Also, you'd better not touch Luo Zhiguo, because I owe him a favor..."

Zhang Qiang frowned slightly, not expecting Chu Hao to be so angry about yesterday's events; this was somewhat beyond his expectations.

After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Old Chu! You really misunderstand me. I truly have no feelings for Luo Zhiguo anymore. I even asked Chen Hua to cooperate fully in governing Bohou Town together..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hao frowned, suddenly finding it difficult to understand Zhang Qiang.

Chu Hao simply couldn't believe that yesterday's events had nothing to do with him.

But now, his words truly indicate that he has given up on continuing his plan to target Luo Zhiguo.

Therefore, Chu Hao was immediately confused about whether yesterday's events had anything to do with him.

Or is it really as he said, that Liu Ming is just making a fool of himself by using his name?

"Old Zhang! No matter what, I don't want you to take action against Luo Zhiguo, and even more so, don't use the Discipline Inspection Commission to deal with him..."

After thinking it over, Chu Hao had no choice but to express his thoughts and meaning again.

"Don't worry, Lao Chu! My vision isn't that narrow."

His words displeased Zhang Qiang, and his reply was somewhat stiff.

Chu Hao didn't care whether he was satisfied or not; he got up, said goodbye, and left.

Watching him leave, Zhang Qiang frowned, despite feeling extremely dissatisfied.

But he held back and, after thinking it over, decided to find an opportunity to have a proper talk with Chu Hao again.

We cannot lose Chu Hao as an ally because of this.

Otherwise, if he becomes the county party secretary and then the other party sides with the new county head, then it would be a loss for him.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Regarding Luo Zhiguo's case, since the man who was in the interrogation room with Qin Lu took full responsibility for everything, the matter was resolved quickly.

The man who was fired ended up working as a sewing machine operator; Qin Lu was disciplined, and Zeng Hui was also disciplined.

That was the end of the matter. When Luo Zhiguo learned the outcome, he was furious.

He never expected that Qin Lu would escape unscathed, and that the man would take the blame for everything.

Even in his anger, he was powerless to do anything, since someone had taken the blame for everything, and there were no surveillance cameras in the interrogation room.

So no matter what they do, there is no evidence to prove that Liu Ming was the mastermind behind this.

Then Zeng Hui gave permission, and Qin Lu instructed him to torture her; the man was just a clerk.

"Virginity! I'll be discharged today. There's still so much to do in Bohou Town..."

Luo Zhiguo adjusted his mood, stopped thinking about that matter, looked at Tong Zhen sitting beside the hospital bed, and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Tong Zhen was about to refuse, but seeing his resolute expression, she thought for a moment and said, "I'll go ask the doctor. If the doctor says it's okay, we'll be discharged. If the doctor disagrees, then we'll have to stay in the hospital..."

"Um!"

Luo Zhiguo nodded with a wry smile, then watched Tong Zhen leave.

About half an hour later, the virgin came out, looked at him, and said, "Let's go! I've finished the discharge procedures."

"Okay! I'll change my clothes first."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo was so happy he almost jumped for joy and immediately grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom.

Tong Zhen drove him back to Bohou Town, and because she didn't notify anyone, no one knew he was back.

"Senior! Is this your dorm?"

Upon entering the dormitory, Tong Zhen looked around and asked with a smile.

"Um!"

Luo Zhiguo put the things into the bedroom and nodded with a smile.

Then, he looked at Tong Zhen and asked, "Are you hungry? I'll cook you some noodles."

"Great! It seems like I haven't had any noodles cooked by my senior brother. I'm really craving some."

When Tong Zhen was in college, after eating the noodles cooked by Luo Zhiguo, she would often pester him to cook noodles for her.

Hearing that he would be able to eat noodles cooked by his senior brother again, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Luo Zhiguo couldn't help but roll his eyes at her, thinking she was trying to flatter him.

Because the noodles I cook are very simple: I first cook the instant noodles, then drain the water, and then mix them with seasonings, some scallions, and garlic.

I ate like this when I was in high school. Because my family was poor and my living expenses were limited, I often ate instant noodles.

After eating enough instant noodles, I remembered to mix them with other ingredients, and I must say, they tasted really good when mixed with other ingredients.

As for his time in college, he often ate like this, and as a result, Tong Zhen saw it and curiously tried it.

The result was that she became obsessed with the taste and often asked me to make it for her.
