In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

"Tsk tsk tsk, you have no idea, I ran into your wife on the street a few days ago. I just called her name to say hello, but she got so scared that she dropped the groceries she was carrying and ran away, as if she was afraid I was a debt collector."

This was made up by Chen Hai, but it's useful as long as it works.

Upon hearing this, Cai Chenggong could no longer hold back the tears that rolled down his cheeks.

He, Tsai Chenggong, may not be human, having deceived the workers at Dafeng Factory, but that doesn't mean he has no emotions; his family is his Achilles' heel.

"District Chief Chen, I don't know what you want to know from me, but you can ask whatever you want. I only have one request!"

After I tell you this, you have to take care of my wife and children. I want you to swear to God!

Seeing this, Chen Hai smiled calmly and said, "I, Chen Hai, swear to heaven that as long as you, Cai Cheng, can provide me with useful information, I will definitely take care of your wife and children."

With this promise in hand, Cai Chenggong finally spoke frankly: "I believe you. Now, ask me!"

Chen Hai was enjoying the fruits of his victory.

"I just want to ask about Hou Liangping's situation, or to put it bluntly, you help me kill Hou Liangping, and I'll take care of your wife and children. Are you satisfied with this deal?"

Cai Chenggong pondered for a moment.

"I need to see your sincerity first. Here's what I'll do: I'll provide you with some information, and let you know what I know about Hou Liangping."

You know Ding Yizhen, right?

"I know, the former deputy mayor of Jingzhou City and secretary of the Guangming District Party Committee."

"After I received the money from Shanshui Group, I partnered with Ding Yizhen to open a coal mine in Lincheng."

I am the legal representative, and there are two other shareholders: Ding Yizhen and Hou Liangping.

"Hou Liangping? Are you sure?!"

"I'm sure, but... Hou Liangping might not know about this. I added his name myself."

Chen Hai squinted at Cai Chenggong.

"I don't care whether it's clear or not, as long as his name is on it, as long as you insist on sticking to your story!"

"Then it depends on your sincerity!"

Cai Chenggong stared intently at Chen Hai, who nodded nonchalantly and said, "Just wait for my good news."

After saying that, Chen Hai got up and left.

An hour later, at the entrance of an old, dilapidated house, Chen Hai covered his nose and frowned slightly.

This is where he found out Cai Chenggong's wife and children lived; the environment was terrible!

Chen Hai knew very well that if he wanted Cai Chenggong to listen to him, he had to offer him corresponding benefits. It was just a matter of taking care of an orphan and a widow, which wasn't difficult.

Chen Hai climbed six floors in one go, sweat beading on his forehead. He arrived at the door and gently knocked.

dong dong dong...

The knocking wasn't too loud, but it wasn't inaudible either. After a while, Chen Hai leaned closer to the door and faintly heard a child crying.

Seeing this, Chen Hai started banging on it forcefully.

"I'm Cai Chenggong's friend, not here to collect debts. Open the door, trust me!"

After shouting at the top of his lungs for two minutes, Chen Hai was already too weak to move and leaned against the door.

Just then, the door opened!

Before he could react, Chen Hai lost his balance and fell into the house.

Instead of the expected ground contact, I found myself enveloped in a warm embrace...

He looked up and found himself holding the other person tightly, pressed very close. At that moment, Cai Chenggong's wife was only wearing a thin nightgown, and her fragrance filled Chen Hai's nostrils, causing Chen Hai to move instantly.

"Um... could you let go of me?"

After a long while, Cai Chenggong's wife, Tang Chuchu, finally spoke softly, a voice that stirred a special protective instinct in Chen Hai.

After quickly releasing the other person, Chen Hai finally got a clear look at Tang Chuchu's full appearance. She was clearly around thirty years old, but she looked only twenty-five or twenty-six. Her pure and innocent appearance combined with the allure of a married woman made Chen Hai's tongue go dry.

"I'm sorry, Miss Tang, I lost my balance just now."

"Oh, by the way, I'm Cai Chenggong's friend. He asked me to look after you and your child. I've come to check on you and see if you have any difficulties that I can help with. Just tell me, and I'll do my best to help!"

Tang Chuchu blinked and nodded.

"I'd better not trouble you. I'm fine with myself, it's just my son..."

"What's wrong with your son?"

Chen Hai subconsciously pressed for an answer.

"Sigh, my son used to attend prestigious private schools, but you know our situation now. We can't afford the tuition, and our house has been mortgaged and auctioned off. Without a house in a good school district, my son can only attend a bad school nearby..."

"Hey, isn't that simple?"

"So, how old is your son? I'll arrange it!"

"No need, no need, it's too much trouble for you, sir."

Chen Hai shook his head and said, "Please don't call me 'sir.' Let me introduce myself first. My name is Chen Hai, and I am the current district head of Guangming District. Your matter is really not difficult for me."

A look of surprise flashed across Tang Chuchu's eyes.

"District Chief Chen, I never imagined you were such a high-ranking official, even though you look only in your thirties."

By the way, my son is in fifth grade now.

"Fifth grade? That's the same as my son. My son is also in fifth grade. Ms. Tang, if you'd like, I can make arrangements for your son. Jingzhou No. 1 Elementary School is in Guangming District. I have connections there. What do you think about getting your son into that school?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Chuchu quickly grabbed Chen Hai's hands, and the warm touch made the tips of Chen Hai's ears gradually turn red.

"District Chief Chen, I'm very satisfied! Thank you so much! But I hope this hasn't put you in a difficult position, since..."

"No problem, no problem, it's all a small matter."

It just so happens that my son doesn't have many friends at school, so it's good that he can keep your son company. Ms. Tang, you can also help look after my son occasionally; children from single-parent families often lack maternal love.

"District Chief Chen, are you single?"

"Yes, we've been divorced for several years now."

Tang Chuchu nodded thoughtfully.

"District Chief Chen, please don't stand, come in and sit down. Let me wash some fruit for you first."

Chen Hai originally wanted to decline, but seeing Tang Chuchu's curvaceous back, he followed her in as if possessed.

Watching Tang Chuchu washing fruit, Chen Hai couldn't help but sigh inwardly that businessmen really do eat well!

When Tang Chuchu finished washing the fruit and placed it on the coffee table, she bent down, and Chen Hai, sitting on the sofa, could directly see that dazzling white world.

Chen Hai's breathing became increasingly rapid, and the tips of his ears turned bright red. Tang Chuchu, on the other hand, smiled as if nothing had happened and returned to her room.

Two minutes later, when Tang Chuchu reappeared, the first thing that caught the eye was her long, slender legs.

Tang Chuchu changed into a pair of yoga pants and paired them with a black lace bra top.

"I'm sorry, District Chief Chen, the heating in my house is too hot, I really can't stand it, so I have to change my clothes."

Chen Hai was completely stunned.

I nodded subconsciously, never imagining that this was an old neighborhood where heating was practically nonexistent!
