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

"you!"

Chen Hai and Wang Dalu were both amused and exasperated; they felt like they were being taken advantage of.

"You viper! Mao Ya, I never thought you had such abilities. But threatening me, Wang Dalu, is wishful thinking. Do you think a businessman like me would be afraid of you?"

"Go ahead and make your money if you dare. At worst, I'll just leave Handong. The world is vast, and I, Wang Dalu, can live a carefree life with my current assets!"

After saying that, Wang Dalu got up, clutching his backside, and slammed the door shut as he left, leaving Chen Hai to quietly look at Mao Ya.

"You hate us that much?"

Chen Hai didn't question her hysterically; he simply looked at Mao Ya calmly, while Mao Ya's heart tightened.

"What do you mean? Chen Hai, don't you want your district chief position anymore?"

Chen Hai shook his head.

"I'm not suited to be the district head. My abilities are limited. What you've done might make me lose face if it gets exposed, but you seem to have forgotten that I, Chen Hai, already have a terrible reputation in Handong. What you've done is incredibly foolish!"

After saying that, Chen Hai left without lingering.

Mao Ya was left alone at home. Looking at the messy house, the lingering scent in the air still told the story of last night's madness, and Mao Ya laughed to herself.

Aren't you afraid?

After laughing, Mao Ya collapsed onto the sofa. At 1:10 p.m., Chen Hai returned with two small green notebooks.

When she returned, Mao Ya still had a blank stare.

He paused, stunned, when he looked at Chen Hai and the two green notebooks.

"Chen Hai, what do you mean?"

Chen Hai didn't say anything, but took out a divorce agreement and handed it to Mao Ya.

"This is the divorce agreement, take a look."

"You're dreaming! I'd rather die than divorce you!"

Chen Hai shook his head.

"This is not up to you. I, Chen Hai, have never used my power to seek any special privileges for myself."

I know you won't let this go, and you want revenge, but before that, let me use my privileges to dissolve our marriage!

After saying that, Chen Hai placed the divorce agreement in front of Mao Ya, which was clearly signed by her.

"You! I didn't sign it! Chen Hai, you actually used a fake divorce agreement to deceive me?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Chen Hai smiled dismissively.

"Your signature, Mao Ya, is very distinctive. I had an expert who specializes in imitating handwriting do it for me."

Can't you see any difference?

I've already spoken to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and our marital relationship has been dissolved online.

"Chen Hai! You!"

"You do the first day of the month, I'll do the fifteenth. I'll just quit this district chief job, but Mao Ya, your scheme has completely failed."

"I'm going to sue you for abusing your power!"

Maoya was furious and had become somewhat unreasonable.

"And what's more, I'm pregnant! How could you dissolve our marriage? How could you!"

"Mao Ya, don't pretend to be a good person. We could have parted amicably. Wang Dalu was even willing to give you some money as compensation so you could safely give birth to your child, but you're still not satisfied. You're insatiably greedy. Well then, I'll make the first move!"

After saying that, Chen Hai turned around with a flourish, and just as he stepped out the door, he turned back and said, "By the way, you can go ahead and report me for abusing my power. If it's the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, find Secretary Lü Liang; if it's the Anti-Corruption Bureau, find Director Hou Liangping. I'll be waiting for you!"

After saying his last words, Chen Hai slammed the door and left.

Stepping out of the residential area, Chen Hai felt incredibly relaxed; the feeling of no longer having to worry was wonderful.

He abused his power, but such a situation is nothing for someone of his rank. At most, he would get a major demerit. If someone were eyeing his position, he might lose his job as district chief. But does he care?

Sure enough, Maoya's revenge came swiftly.

That evening, the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection received more than a dozen letters of complaint alleging that Chen Hai had abused his power. All of them were complaints filed by Mao Ya herself under her real name!

Meanwhile, Mao Ya also posted the video of the three of them online. The explosive plot left onlookers stunned, especially after recognizing Wang Dalu and Chen Hai.

The heat spread like wildfire throughout Handong.

Lüzhou.

At 9:30 p.m., Chen Luo had just finished reading a document when the phone rang.

I picked it up and looked at it, wow, it's Tian Guofu's.

"Hello, Secretary Guofu, what's up?"

"Oh dear! Secretary Chen, let me tell you, Jingzhou is so lively right now. That Chen Hai is actually with a businessman... Ugh, I can't even bring myself to say it!"

Chen Luo was completely bewildered.

"Ahem, Secretary Guofu, could you please explain in more detail?"

"That's how it is..."

Soon, Tian Guofu told Chen Luo about the incident. After listening, Chen Luo was speechless. How could someone do something like that?

"Secretary Guofu, how is the situation now?"

"What's going on? The comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have just set off and taken Chen Hai to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for questioning. Chen Hai has already explained that he and Wang Dalu were drugged by Mao Ya, oh, that is, Yi Xuexi's ex-wife, who is also Chen Hai's ex-wife, which is why this happened."

The exact truth is still under investigation, but Chen Hai was probably not lying; the charge of "gathering a crowd" likely won't apply.

Chen Luo nodded.

"However, after this incident, Chen Hai can no longer remain in his position as the district head of Guangming District."

"Well, who can argue with that? Tsk tsk. But then again, just two days ago Governor Jianjun assured us that Chen Hai wouldn't have any problems, not to mention that Chen Hai was drugged this time."

Regarding his alleged violation of regulations in dissolving his marriage, I'd like to hear how Governor Jianjun will explain his assurances in the end.

Chen Luo rolled his eyes. So, all you Tian Guofu wanted to do was watch this show?

"Secretary Guofu, what did Secretary Dakang say?"

After all, Chen Hai was a cadre from Jingzhou.

"Secretary Dakang doesn't care. I just called him, and he just said one thing: just do it according to the provincial party committee's opinion. He has no objection."

"In that case, Secretary Guofu, Chen Hai is, after all, a government official. I think it's necessary to explain the situation to Comrade Zhao Dagong and Comrade Qi Quansheng."

"Secretary Guofu, what do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Guofu immediately realized what was going on.

"That's right! Why didn't I think of telling Comrade Dagong and Comrade Qi Quansheng?"

Hahaha, Secretary Chen, thanks for the reminder. I reckon this topic will be discussed at the Standing Committee meeting when you get back on Friday. Tsk, we'll have to work together to resist these bad practices!

"No problem, let's leave it at that for now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo still couldn't help feeling nauseous.

"That Mao Ya is ruthless!"

Shaking his head, Chen Luo continued with his work.

In Jingzhou, far too many people couldn't sleep that night.

Chen Hai's case has drawn the attention of many Standing Committee members. To be honest, it would be worth it even if Chen Hai were to be completely stripped of his position.
