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

"Ms. Tang, your thinking is spot on!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Chuchu revealed a charming smile.

"Director Hou is too kind. I just don't want to ruin my future. I had no choice but to sacrifice Chen Hai. He's a good man, but..."

"Pah! Chen Hai? A good person?"

Miss Tang, marrying Chen Hai is a complete waste of your talent; it's a pity that such a beautiful flower is stuck in cow dung.

Upon hearing this, Tang Chuchu's tears began to well up.

Seeing Tang Chuchu's tearful appearance, Hou Liangping felt a pang of heartache and quickly pulled out a tissue from the table to wipe her face.

"Miss Tang, don't cry. As long as you help us, your life will be comfortable from now on."

"Thank you, Director Hou!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Tang Chuchu gently leaned on Hou Liangping's shoulder, her hot breath hitting Hou Liangping's earlobe. In an instant, Hou Liangping's desire surged.

He couldn't help but hug Tang Chuchu and comfort her.

Even so, Hou Liangping still told himself not to do anything reckless.

Tang Chuchu also knew that she couldn't rush things.

As Hou Liangping left his embrace, the feeling of losing that warmth amplified Hou Liangping's reluctance to part.

"Director Hou, please have a glass of water. Thank you for comforting me!"

After taking the water glass from Tang Chuchu and drinking it down in one gulp, Hou Liangping felt his anger subside slightly.

Tang Chuchu's eyes lit up with a smug look upon seeing this.

"Director Hou, let's continue discussing how to make this project in Guangming District fail..."

"good!"

Time passed slowly, and Hou Liangping felt his body temperature gradually rising. At this moment, Tang Chuchu had already picked up a cup of coffee to drink.

But if you lose your balance, the coffee will spill all over you.

"Excuse me, Director Hou, I need to change my clothes first."

Hou Liangping swallowed hard, but did not refuse.

His body temperature was getting hotter and hotter, and his face was even red. He looked exactly like a monkey's butt!

In just two minutes, Tang Chuchu was changed and left the room.

This time it wasn't completely covered up, but rather so cool that Hou Liangping's anger flared up at just one glance.

The black yoga pants and pure white tank top created a sensation that caused Hou Liangping to release the drugs in his body at an alarming rate, amplifying his desires tenfold or a hundredfold.

Tang Chuchu had just sat down when Hou Liangping couldn't resist moving closer.

And what about Tang Chuchu?

Seeing that Hou Liangping's eyes were bloodshot and he knew the medicine was taking effect, he deliberately reached out and touched Hou Liangping's forehead.

"Director Hou, do you have a high fever? You're so hot!"

The touch of the cold little hand shattered Hou Liangping's last shred of rationality.

Like a tiger unleashed from its cage, it pounced directly on Tang Chuchu.

"Director Hou, what are you doing! Don't do anything reckless!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Chuchu shouted and struggled incessantly.

But Hou Liangping had long since lost his rationality.

A pear blossom branch, wet with spring rain, who cares about the consequences?

Half an hour later, Tang Chuchu lay on the sofa, crying incessantly.

Hou Liangping, on the other hand, was thoroughly enjoying himself.

The taste was indescribable, like an old man who had been eating cornbread for twenty years finally enjoying lobster and abalone – it was incredibly delicious and juicy!

However, as the joy and excitement faded, Hou Liangping immediately became worried, and the fear of making a mistake gradually spread.

"Miss Tang...I..."

Tang Chuchu slowly helped herself to her feet.

Then, looking at Hou Liangping, she cried and said, "You all bullied me! Waaaaah..."

Hou Liangping was now extremely anxious. He wanted to comfort the man but felt guilty, and he wanted to leave but was worried about the secret being leaked.

"Get out! I never want to see you again!"

In the end, Hou Liangping was still driven away.

After Hou Liangping left, Tang Chuchu, who had been crying and looking weak, changed into a different mask and gradually revealed a smile that was sinister and smug.

"Men are all the same, just like everyone else!"

As he limped toward the camera, Tang Chuchu knew that Hou Liangping was finished.

At Shanshui Manor, Tang Chuchu had just been seen off in the morning when she called in the afternoon.

"Hello, Miss Tang, is there anything else?"

Zhao Ruilong was somewhat displeased, as he had already offered good terms, and the ten million was being returned without hesitation.

"Mr. Zhao, the matter has been taken care of."

"ah?!"

Zhao Ruilong sat up straight instantly, looking completely bewildered.

"What did you say?!"

"The matter is settled, but it doesn't include Zhong Xiaoai. I'm not confident I can contact her. I only have leverage over Hou Liangping, and that camera you gave me..."

After hearing everything Tang Chuchu said, Zhao Ruilong clicked on his computer in disbelief, and sure enough! The video was in high definition!

The most important thing isn't that Hou Liangping cheated on Tang Chuchu, but that Tang Chuchu struggled and cried out for him the whole time. That makes a completely different difference; Hou Liangping is practically dead!

"Great! Great! Tang Chuchu! You're a real talent!"

"Here's what I'll do: I'll give you another million, no, five million, and I'll transfer it to your account right away. As long as you can stick to your story about Hou Liangping, I guarantee you'll be financially independent in the future!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao!"

Zhao Ruilong was ecstatic after hanging up the phone; Hou Liangping had actually been won over by Tang Chuchu.

However, after the initial excitement came deep reflection.

Hou Liangping is ruined now, but he is just a son-in-law after all. Zhong Xiaoai can choose to cut ties with Hou Liangping, which is not the result Zhao Ruilong wants.

If we could get something on Zhong Xiaoai...

hum!

With this thought in mind, Zhao Ruilong had already made a plan!

In the evening, when Zhong Xiaoai got home from get off work, Hou Liangping had already prepared a table full of food.

It is said that people who make mistakes are suspicious, and Zhong Xiaoai also sensed that something was wrong.

"Ryohei, didn't you say you weren't in the mood to cook these past few days? What's wrong now?"

Hou Liangping felt a chill run down his spine when Zhong Xiaoai asked him the question.

"Xiao Ai, it's like this, Tang Chuchu gave me an idea during the day: we don't need to start with Tang Chuchu to deal with Chen Hai. If the current renovation project in Guangming District fails, Chen Hai will be severely injured, if not killed!"

"I'm not happy."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai finally dispelled her doubts.

"That's true. I'll have someone check on this project tomorrow."

Having finally managed to fool everyone, Hou Liangping had just breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to eat when his phone rang.

Hou Liangping was stunned when he saw the unfamiliar phone number.

"What are you standing there for? Answer it!"

Urged by Zhong Xiaoai, Hou Liangping answered the phone.

"Hello, this is Hou Liangping, Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. And you are?"

"Tsk tsk, Director Hou, you've probably heard of me. My name is Zhao Ruilong. I have something good to give you, so remember to receive it."

After saying that, Zhao Ruilong hung up the phone.

Hou Liangping's face had turned pale.

Trembling, he opened the video in his email, and as soon as he saw Hou Liangping, his mind went blank.

Almost instantly, Liangping deleted the video.

"What are you doing? Why are you being so secretive?"

Zhong Xiaoai's question startled Hou Liangping.

"Nothing much, just eating. Xiao Ai, have some of this, your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs."
