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

Upon arriving at the airport parking lot, Tian Jingye led Li Shangli to a black Audi. As they approached the car, Li Shangli raised an eyebrow and looked at Tian Jingye.

But Tian Jingye didn't notice the gaze at all. He simply opened the passenger seat and sat down smoothly. At this moment, Li Shangli frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

Li Shangli was a department-level cadre, about to take office as the secretary of Guangming District, but Tian Jingye ignored him and wouldn't open the back door for him.

Tian Jingye, sitting in the passenger seat, was also very dissatisfied. He was, after all, the governor's secretary. Even though he was about to be transferred to the position of district head, it didn't mean he could lower himself to serve Li Shangli, who used to have to be polite to him.

After a minute of this strange atmosphere, Tian Jingye couldn't hold back any longer; Governor Jianjun was waiting for him!

He rolled down the car window and stuck his head out to look at Li Shangli.

He put on a professional fake smile and said, "Secretary Li, is there anything else? If not, please get in the car. Governor Jianjun asked us to arrive at the provincial government by 1 p.m., and we only have half an hour left. We need to hurry."

This reason was so compelling that Li Shangli could only twitch his lips and reach out to open the car door.

After getting in the car, he slammed the door shut with a forceful slam.

He then crossed his legs and, in a superior's tone, instructed, "Comrade Jingye, you can start driving now!"

These words made it sound like he, Tian Jingye, was just a driver. He gave a forced smile, and a shadow of gloom flashed deep in Tian Jingye's eyes, but he remained very magnanimous on the surface.

"Secretary Luggage, driver, let's go!"

The vehicle started slowly and quickly left the parking lot.

The car was moving at a good speed and soon arrived at the exit. Parking fees need to be paid at the parking lot exit, and generally drivers pay by hand, so the process is quite fast.

But the black Lexus in front of Tian Jingye and his group was different. The car stopped at the payment counter for a full minute, and through the car window, Tian Jingye could only see a fairly fair arm paying in cash.

Normally, Tian Jingye could wait patiently, but now he was in a hurry!

After the other party settled the parking fee and started the engine, Tian Jingye gave instructions to the driver.

"Honestate the horn once to urge them on!"

The driver was very obedient and honked the horn without hesitation, but that horn caused trouble. The Lexus car that had already started moving in front of him suddenly stalled and rolled backward.

Although the speed was not fast, the rear of the car still hit the hood of the car that Tian Jingye and his group were riding in with a solid impact.

Now, not only was Tian Jingye gloomy and unhappy, but Li Shangli couldn't hold back either. They still had to rush to the provincial government to see the governor!

Enraged, Tian Jingye simply opened the car door and got out!

He then went to the driver's window of the Lexus in front and started banging on it, yelling, "Are you blind? How do you drive?!"

As he finished speaking, Tian Jingye noticed that the other person was a woman around forty years old, whose temper was somewhat restrained.

But she still snapped, "I'm letting you off easy since you're a woman, but hurry up and move the car out of the parking lot. Don't block the road; you can't afford to delay our trip!"

Inside the car, Zhong Xiaoai first breathed a sigh of relief, then her anger surged up.

However, instead of venting her anger, she looked towards the back row.

"Mom, are you alright?"

Sitting in the back row was Zhong Xiaoai's mother. After all, she was quite far along in her pregnancy and needed someone to take care of her. Zhong's mother was worried about her, so she came to Handong with her.

"It's nothing, Xiao Ai, I'm just a little dizzy."

It's alright.

The more Zhong's mother said this, the angrier Zhong Xiaoai became. If it weren't for the car behind her honking its horn indiscriminately and making her panic, how could they have rolled away and collided?

In this situation, Zhong Xiaoai naturally couldn't tolerate Tian Jingye's feigned magnanimity and unwillingness to hold it against her!

Lowering the car window, Zhong Xiaoai stared intently at Tian Jingye with an icy gaze.

"You can't afford to take the blame!"

Why are you honking your horn for no reason? Are you in a hurry to get home to see your wife give birth? Do you even have a wife?

Do you even know I'm pregnant? It's a good thing you were all scared just now; otherwise, you'd be in deep trouble!

Zhong Xiaoai didn't tolerate Tian Jingye's behavior, and of course, they didn't know each other.

Tian Jingye was stunned by Zhong Xiaoai's assertiveness, but after regaining his senses, he became angrier the more he thought about it.

"You want me to suffer the consequences? I don't want to argue with you since you're a woman, but if you're stubborn, I won't mind teaching you a lesson so you'll remember it!"

"Do you have the ability? It's not that I look down on you, but judging from your clothes, you're a cadre. Just because you're a cadre doesn't mean you can act recklessly! I'm waiting for you to teach me a lesson!"

"Aren't you in a hurry to be reincarnated? Then I'm not leaving!"

Chung Hsiao-ai pulled the handbrake, then unlocked the car and pulled out the key, sitting in the driver's seat with her arms wrapped around herself.

"You, you, you!"

Tian Jingye's face turned red with anger. Had he met his match?

Zhong's mother, sitting in the back row, remained silent. She had heard the conversation clearly and knew that her daughter, Xiao Ai, had done nothing wrong. Of course, more importantly, Zhong's mother knew that Xiao Ai was pregnant and it was normal for her to have a bad temper. It was good for her to vent her anger if she had a reason.

Inside the Audi, seeing Tian Jingye trembling with anger, Li Shangli couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"You can't even handle this? I'll have to step in!"

Li Shangli opened the car door and strode up behind Tian Jingye. Without giving Tian Jingye any time to explain, he walked straight to the car window and looked at Zhong Xiaoai with an arrogant gaze.

"Madam, we have very urgent work to attend to right now. Please do not obstruct our official duties!"

That gesture was like shooing away flies.

"Obstructing official business? And who are you? What are you pretending for? Just because you're an official doesn't mean you can be so unreasonable."

I'm warning you, none of you will leave here unless you apologize to me!

"Hey! You woman! You've really gone too far!"

Do you even know who we are?

"I don't know, I'm not interested, and I'm not afraid!"

Zhong Xiaoai practically yelled it out, venting all the negative emotions she had been suppressing for months on Tian Jingye and Li Shangli. The more she yelled, the more energetic she became.

"Hmph! I've already warned you, lady. I am Li Shangli, the soon-to-be-appointed Vice Mayor of Jingzhou City and Secretary of the Guangming District Committee, a cadre at the ministerial level!"

The man next to me is the soon-to-be-appointed district head of Guangming District, a deputy director-level official!

"I'm warning you one last time. There's still time to clear the way. If you continue to obstruct me, I'll have to call the police. Since you're pregnant, I'll give you one last chance. Will you clear the way or not?"

"No way!"

The "no" wasn't spoken by Zhong Xiaoai, but by Zhong's mother in the back row!
