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

"Huh? You're really giving it to me?"

Tang Chuchu opened her mouth in disbelief. She knew Zhao Ruilong well; the richer a person was, the more generous they were to themselves, but stingy to others.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong rolled his eyes.

"What do you take my Shanshui Group for? The mafia? You think I, Zhao Ruilong, am a mafia boss?"

Tang Chuchu thought to herself, isn't that right?

However, she dared not say those words aloud.

"Alright, that's enough. From now on, your creditors will stop bothering you, and I'll pay you back."

But remember this: if you take the money and don't do anything, it's hard to say whether you'll ever see your son again!

Zhao Ruilong smiled nonchalantly, while Tang Chuchu nodded emphatically, saying, "I will keep my promise!"

"I hope you can... This is my phone number, this is a satellite camera, this is special medicine. Call me when you have any results."

............................................................

Even after being sent out of the Mountain and Water Manor, Tang Chuchu was still in a daze. She knew that she had been drawn into some kind of struggle, and there was no way to escape. Trying to play both sides would only lead to her death sooner.

"Ten million it is. Once the debt is paid off, I won't have to live that kind of life in hiding anymore..."

Shaking her head, Tang Chuchu made her decision.

At the same time, Chen Luo also began to make plans, and if he wanted Zhong Xiaoai and Zhao Ruilong to fight to the death, he had to add fuel to the fire.

This fire is crucial; it's necessary to corner Zhao Ruilong and the Zhao family with no way out, but at the same time, it's important to prevent the Zhong family from taking down the Zhao family too easily.

After thinking it over, a person popped into Chen Luo's mind.

Liu Xinjian, Party Secretary of Handong Oil and Gas Group and a department-level cadre, transferred state-owned assets to the Zhao family.

This is crucial evidence, but also a powder keg!

Once Zhong Xiaoai gets to the bottom of Liu Xinjian's investigation, it'll basically be all about hand-to-hand combat.

However, sometimes plans just don't keep up with changes.

Tang Chuchu was a smart person; the listening device around her neck returned to normal after she left the Shanshui Manor.

As if nothing had happened, Tang Chuchu returned to Chen Hai's side. Chen Hai had already completed the sale of the house and the loan, totaling five million. Chen Hai's feelings were somewhat complicated. Reason told him that it was not worth going into debt for an unmarried woman. However, Tang Chuchu had truly made him enjoy the pleasures of being a man these days, and he was addicted.

"Chuchu, the five million is all in the card!"

At this moment, Tang Chuchu shook her head while crying.

"Brother Hai, I'm not paying you back, I'm not paying you back. I can't take your money. My parents just called me. They've already left with Cai Cai and are staying right across from the county police station. They told me not to worry about them..."

Chen Hai was completely dumbfounded. He had already sold his house and taken out a loan, and now...

"Chuchu, is it true?"

"Brother Hai, really!"

For a moment, Chen Hai felt a mixture of joy and worry.

"Fine, I'll sell it then. I bought that house when I was working at the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate."

It's relatively close to the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Now that I've moved to Guangming District, it takes me half an hour to drive to and from get off work every day.

"If all else fails, we can just buy another new house, right next to the district government building, okay?"

"Okay, I'll do whatever Hai-ge says!"

Looking at Tang Chuchu's red eyes and smooth, moist face, Chen Hai felt enveloped in happiness.

These conversations also reached Hou Liangping's ears.

"What is Tang Chuchu trying to do! We clearly told her to squeeze every last drop of Chen Hai's assets out of her, and now she dares to disobey us?"

Enraged, Hou Liangping reported the situation directly to Zhong Xiaoai, who then instructed Hou Liangping to give Tang Chuchu a talking-to.

Upon receiving the instruction, Hou Liangping took out a specially made phone and dialed Tang Chuchu's number directly.

The call connected, and Tang Chuchu took out her phone to answer it.

Hou Liangping's voice changed completely; he sounded like a rough, rugged man.

"Tang Chuchu, what are you trying to do! I'm warning you, if you don't follow instructions, you'll be in jail tomorrow. You've defrauded 300,000 yuan and are 10 million yuan in debt. You should understand that you only have one way out!"

Tang Chuchu listened calmly, then said, "Director Hou, you don't need to pretend. I know it's you!"

Hou Liangping was stunned upon hearing this.

Silence, a long silence.

"The only ones who have a grudge against Chen Hai are you and your wife, Director Hou. Actually, it's not hard to guess. I want to tell you that I have a plan that can help you ruin Chen Hai forever. I just don't know if you and your wife are interested."

Now that things have come to this, there's no need to deny it anymore.

"you say!"

"It's hard to explain over the phone. Come to Chen Hai's house. I'll wait for you. Chen Hai has gone to work and won't be back."

For a moment, Hou Liangping hesitated.

Aside from worrying about falling into a trap, Hou Liangping was actually a little itchy inside, thinking of Tang Chuchu's graceful figure...

"Director Hou, are you afraid I'll eat you alive?"

These words completely overwhelmed Hou Liangping.

"Wait for me, I'm coming right away. You'd better really have a plan!"

Tang Chuchu scoffed at this.

"Alright, I await your arrival, Director!"

After hanging up the phone, Tang Chuchu took out the satellite camera Zhao Ruilong had given her and installed it. This thing could shoot and upload in high definition in real time without needing a network connection.

An hour later, Hou Liangping arrived at the door.

"Knock knock knock..."

Tang Chuchu opened the door as soon as the knocking sounded.

Tang Chuchu was dressed very conservatively, which caught Hou Liangping off guard. He had been worried that she was setting a trap for him, but she was surprisingly well covered up.

"Come in, Director Hou."

Tang Chuchu's face was very calm, without a smile or anger, and the two of them sat on the sofa in a proper manner.

Looking at Tang Chuchu's delicate face and her still curvaceous body even when covered up, Hou Liangping felt a sensation of being scratched by a cat, which made his blood rush to his head.

But Tang Chuchu beside him kept her distance.

"Director Hou, the simplest way to get rid of Chen Hai is not by targeting Chen Hai himself. What's the point of selling the house and taking out a loan?"

"Does Director Hou know what position Chen Hai holds now?"

"The district head of Guangming District, who doesn't know him?"

Tang Chuchu smiled slightly.

"Yes, District Chief of Guangming District, Chen Hai recently complained to me about some work-related issues. The district committee and government are not cooperating with the work on the two residential areas that are being demolished and renovated, while the funding for the renovation project comes from a bank loan of 5 billion yuan."

"Director Hou, what do you think will happen if this project ultimately fails?"

boom!

These words were like a sudden awakening, and Hou Liangping instantly understood.

"Failure would result in significant financial losses and major work errors. Being dismissed would be the least of your worries; in more serious cases, you would be held accountable for leadership responsibilities!"

Forget about him being a district head; it would be a miracle if the Chen family didn't get expelled from the Party and dismissed from public office!

For a moment, Hou Liangping was extremely excited, and his gaze towards Tang Chuchu was filled with affection. She was beautiful, sexy, and smart; it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.
