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

"Okay, I'll go, I'll go right now!"

Chen Hai hung up the phone with a gloomy expression. He had just been planning to tell Yi Xuexi about Mao Ya and Wang Dalu, but Yi Xuexi actually acted like a secretary.

With a sudden surge of anger and desire, Chen Hai drove after Wang Dalu's Maybach.

The car stopped when it was about half a block away from Wang Dalu and Mao Ya's residential area.

"Mrs. Yi, I'll leave you here. I'm afraid Secretary Yi might see you if you walk the rest of the way."

Mao Ya gave Wang Dalu a charming glare.

"Now you're scared? You weren't this careful when you took me away during the day."

"And do you have some strange quirk? Even after all this, you still call me Mrs. Yi?"

Wang Dalu chuckled at Mao Ya's direct gaze, then hugged her and kissed her.

"Doesn't this make Mrs. Yi feel it even more intensely?"

"Hmph, you rascal!"

After saying that, Mao Ya opened the car door and got out. Although she and Wang Dalu had a somewhat ambiguous relationship, Mao Ya was a smart woman. It was obvious who was more important, a husband who was a high-ranking official or a businessman who talked about money.

It's just that people are naturally fickle.

She's just trying it out; as long as the secrecy is maintained, her life will only get better and better.

As Mao Ya walked down the street, she straightened her collar. Just as she was concentrating on adjusting her collar, a black Santana slowly pulled up beside her.

Chen Hai lowered the car window, placed one hand on it, and stared intently at Mao Ya's still-charming figure.

"Ms. Mao Ya, you really have a lot of free time."

Startled by being called by name, Mao Ya turned around and saw Chen Hai's ambiguous smile.

Maoya quickly concealed her panic.

"District Chief Chen? It's so late, why isn't District Chief Chen home? What's the meaning of stopping here?"

If you need to report anything to my husband, you can simply call him.

It would have been fine if we hadn't mentioned Easy Learning, but once we did, Chen Hai got straight to the point.

"Ms. Mao Ya, I have a great treasure that I want you to examine closely, but I don't know if you'd like to see it."

"You scoundrel!"

Mao Ya's expression was somewhat unnatural, but Chen Hai remained calm.

"Oh? It seems Ms. Mao Ya isn't going to cooperate. This treasure is something else; it recorded someone and Wang Dalu being all lovey-dovey in a coffee shop, and it also recorded someone and Wang Dalu entering the residential area together..."

Upon hearing this, Mao Ya's face turned deathly pale.

"Chen Hai, what do you mean?!"

Mao Ya pointed at Chen Hai, her chest heaving violently.

"What do you mean? Ms. Mao Ya, you don't want me to expose your affair with Wang Dalu, do you?"

At this moment, Maoya was surprisingly calm.

"Just tell me what you want, and I'll do everything I can to give it to you. Let's leave it at that!"

"Ms. Mao, you've really changed things up after hooking up with Boss Wang. You're quite the big talker. But I don't like money or anything else. I'm just particularly fond of you, Ms. Mao!"

"How are you, Mrs. Yi? Would you like to get in the car?"

The atmosphere was extremely tense. Mao Ya felt conflicted, but in the end, she lowered her head, opened the car door, and got in.

The vehicle drove along and soon arrived at the house Chen Hai had been renting.

The house isn't very big; it has two bedrooms and a living room.

As soon as he opened the door, Chen Hai took out a bottle of small blue pills from the cabinet in front of Mao Ya, then poured out seven or eight pills and swallowed them with mineral water.

Mao Ya was speechless upon seeing this.

"The medicine will take effect in a little while. I'm going to take a shower first. Mrs. Yi, wait for me!"

After saying that, Chen Hai went into the bathroom. A few minutes later, Mao Ya was sitting on the sofa, lost in thought, when the phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was her husband calling.

Taking a deep breath, Mao Ya answered the phone.

"Hey, Lao Yi? What's up?"

Yi Xuexi didn't notice anything amiss and calmly asked, "Wife, it's already 10:30 PM, why aren't you home yet?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I went back to Luzhou this afternoon. I'm thinking of opening a teahouse in Jingzhou, so I had to go back to prepare."

This was half true and half false. Mao Ya did indeed want to open her tea shop in Jingzhou. Yi Xuexi didn't suspect anything. Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Chen Hai naturally heard Mao Ya and Yi Xuexi's conversation. He felt extremely happy.

Chen Hai sat down right next to Mao Ya, and his hands immediately started to wander...

Mao Ya was on the phone, her face flushed.

"Hey... Lao Yi, it's getting late, why don't you... ah!"

"What's wrong with you?"

"No, no, it's nothing! A mouse just scurried into its hole, it scared me to death."

"Mice? It's only been a few months since I've been home, and there are already mice in the house?"

"Yes, yes, a big black rat!"

"Alright, honey, you can clean up the mess yourself. Don't overdo it; I can hear you panting."

Chen Hai was very pleased with himself. At the same time, the effects of the medicine gradually took hold. Without hesitation, and ignoring that Mao Ya had not yet hung up the phone, he picked Mao Ya up and carried her into the house.

The flowers have faded, spring's beauty gone too soon...

A lonely paulownia tree in a deep courtyard locks in the desolate autumn!

Yi Xuexi had a hard time sleeping that night. He had gotten used to his married life over the years, with his wife almost always by his side, but now he could only fall asleep hugging a pillow.

At Chen Hai's house, Chen Hai was extremely satisfied. Compared to Zhong Xiaoai, Mao Ya was in no way inferior, and her charm was something Zhong Xiaoai could not compare to.

The next morning, Chen Hai staggered to his feet. He was exhausted from the night before, and although his anger had subsided, he was clearly weak.

Chen Hai, however, smiled broadly.

On Saturday, Chen Hai came to the district committee and government as usual. He had only been sitting in his office for a few minutes when his secretary told him that Yi Xuexi was waiting for him.

After leisurely tidying up his desk and making himself a cup of goji berry tea, Chen Hai headed to Secretary Yi Xuexi's office.

dong dong dong...

"Come in."

Easy-to-learn's voice sounded somewhat tired.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hai immediately pushed open the door.

Upon entering the office, Chen Hai sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, seemingly oblivious to Yi Xuexi's presence, without waiting for Yi Xuexi to speak.

He then slowly opened the teacup, blew on it, and took a small sip of the goji berry tea.

Yi Xuexi frowned; he clearly sensed the huge change in Chen Hai's attitude.

"District Chief Chen, I called you here to tell you that today you'll oversee the construction site, and this afternoon you'll visit the residents who have been relocated. These tasks aren't difficult, what do you say?"

Chen Hai smiled slightly, then looked up at Yi Xuexi. He saw that Yi Xuexi looked extremely tired, with dark circles under his eyes.
