Name: The Holy Son of the Energy Department Enters Handong

"How could my son, Hou Liangping's son, possibly lose a kidney? What kind of joke is this?" Hou Liangping said with a cold laugh.

Just as he was thinking this, the office landline rang again.

"What's going on? And the phone keeps ringing! What do they want?!"

"As expected, this world can't do without me. Maybe this is the treatment of a protagonist," Hou Liangping thought to himself, feeling smug.

Answer the phone.

He said condescendingly, "Hello, this is Hou Liangping, the director of the Hanzhong Anti-Corruption Bureau. Who are you? What can I do for you? If you're not here to conduct business, please fill out a form and wait in line. Don't call me directly; I'm very busy every day!"

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned by Hou Liangping's string of words, but this stunned silence was not due to panic, but rather the suppressed urge to erupt like a volcano.

"Hou Liangping, you bastard, why don't you just die?!"

At this hour, you are still so radiant and in such a wonderful mood!

Do you know that because of you, your son sacrificed a kidney, and that kidney was personally delivered by my father, Zhong Zhengguo?

"Hou Liangping, are you even a father? Your son has lost a kidney, and you can still be so carefree? Do you have any heart? Do you even deserve to be Zhong Haoran's father?" Zhong Xiaoai roared into the phone.

Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Hou Liangping's spirits trembled slightly!

His face turned deathly pale instantly, and a wave of uneasy speculation churned within him.

The sudden information bombarded his brain, leaving him momentarily speechless.

"Xiao Ai, what nonsense are you talking about? Isn't our son named Hou Haoran? Why is he called Zhong Haoran now?"

Isn't it supposed to take my surname? Why is it taking your surname?

And how could my son have lost a kidney? What exactly happened?

Isn't Haoran with his father?

How could he possibly lose a kidney? Who could take his kidney? Hou Liangping asked a series of questions, trying to deny what he had just heard and hoping that Zhong Xiaoai would tell him that it was all fake and that he had misunderstood.

There was no rush to provide proof or speak on the other end of the phone; instead, there was a deathly silence. This scene completely panicked Hou Liangping, who couldn't help but ask again, "Xiao Ai, speak! Speak quickly! This is a lie! My son's name is still Hou Haoran! My son didn't lose a kidney! What's going on? Speak!!"

Hou Liangping had already guessed some of the answers, and his voice grew hoarse as he spoke, eventually becoming a roar.

The surroundings were deathly silent. Zhong Xiaoai seemed to have completely given up on Hou Liangping. At this moment, she was still concerned about the surname, rather than focusing on the problem of her son's lost kidney.

"Hou Liangping, all of this is because of you! Because of you, such a huge mess has been made. Didn't you know that? You still have the nerve to ask? Don't you know that all of this is the result of your actions?!"

Zhong Xiaoai's voice was low and hoarse, each word drilling into Hou Liangping's ears, causing Hou Liangping's face to freeze and his pupils to gradually dilate.

"It's true, it's all true. What happened?" Hou Liangping asked hoarsely, his tone now more sincere.

"It was Li Dakang. He was hit by a car and needed a kidney to save his life. Fortunately, our son was a match for him, so my father personally took him there to donate a kidney."

If you don't do this, your career, your entire future, and even the rest of your life will be completely over.

Do you understand now? All of this is the result of your impulsiveness. Why did you intercept Li Dakang at high speed? Even if you wanted to intercept him, why did you have to go yourself?

Hou Liangping, you are too impulsive and too foolish. The combination of the two will only lead to trouble at every turn.

The world has given you so many opportunities, but you're foolish and you can never seize them!

"Indeed, the world is fair. It gave you luck, allowing you to climb up to the Zhong family. But it also lowered your IQ to the lowest possible level!" Xiao Ai said softly in a hoarse voice.

By the end, it was almost a whisper; if Hou Liangping hadn't turned on the speakerphone and been listening intently to the voice on the other end of the phone,

Otherwise, it would be impossible to hear what Zhong Xiaoai was saying.

After listening to Zhong Xiaoai's story, Hou Liangping fell into a long silence.

He stood there dumbfounded, holding the phone, unable to accept the sudden truth. It turned out that Ji Changming hadn't lied to him; it was all true. His son had changed his surname and lost a kidney!

"Beep beep beep beep beep!!"

The phone Hou Liangping was holding went dead; Zhong Xiaoai had hung up.

Hou Liangping, however, did not put down the phone, but held it weakly to his ear.

Hou Liangping appeared to be in a daze.

It's true, it's all true, he messed everything up.

He knew that his son had lost not only a kidney, but also his surname.

There's more.

The support of the Chung family, and the love of his wife!

There are many more subtle, gradual influences.

These things changed silently. The loud arguments were because there was still meaning in arguing, because both sides still had demands.

They hope to get what they want through arguing.

But Zhong Xiaoai's silence on the phone, without mentioning divorce, was even more terrifying than saying divorce!

By changing his son's surname, he was sending a message to the outside world!

Hou Liangping's status in the Zhong family underwent a dramatic change.

Although he has the title of son-in-law, he does not have the actual status of a son-in-law.

And then there's Zhong Xiaoai's feelings for herself.

In the past, he might have been able to win a smile from the beauty by using all his strength, but now it seems that Zhong Xiaoai has completely given up on him, and no matter how hard he tries, it will be useless.

No matter how hard you try with your tongue or how skillful you are with your lips, it's all useless!

Because Zhong Xiaoai won't give him a chance, that's psychological. Even if he tries to force himself on Zhong Xiaoai, he can't change the outcome.

A deep sense of powerlessness instantly filled Hou Liangping's heart; he knew he was about to be abandoned.

His future prospects and unbridled capital are all gone; he may be stuck at the division-level position for life.

He used to look down on Qi Tongwei, but now he's going to trample on his face.

He could no longer boss people around or give them orders.

He used to show his arrogance and confidence to outsiders in front of Zhong Xiaoai.

He was as aloof and arrogant in public as he was in front of Zhong Xiaoai.

But now he can no longer be high and mighty in the outside world, and no one can make him remain high and mighty. No matter how well-behaved he is with Zhong Xiaoai, it's useless.

Everything changed. Zhong Xiaoai didn't say it, but Hou Liangping had already sensed it.

There's no going back now.

"No, no, I still have a chance to turn things around. In the whole game of Handong Province, Sha Ruijin needs me!"

I can make contributions, I can make progress, and the Zhong family can continue to move forward without his help!

The Zhong family hasn't given any signal yet, so I can still work for Sha Ruijin while still being under their protection.

"When the time comes, I'll be rewarded with honors and can even get promoted!"

Hou Liangping roared hoarsely.

The Chung family is unlikely to release any signals so quickly regarding such humiliating information.

If one wasn't paying close attention to the Zhong family, they wouldn't have realized so quickly that he was no longer a henchman of the Zhong family.
