N-M Chapter 236 shouldn't be there...
Chapter 236 shouldn't be there...
The sun is setting in the west.
The amber-colored setting sun fell on Zheng Zhiguo's shoulder.
Because he had traveled all night without showering or getting enough rest, his face was oily and his hair was a mess.
He was holding something wrapped in clothes in his arms, which was very conspicuous.
Zheng Zhiguo looked up and glanced at the county magistrate's office on the second floor, where his eyes met Dawei's.
Dawei gripped the railing of the second-floor corridor with both hands, his face filled with urgency. His fingers were tightly gripping the handrail, and then he raised his hand to wave to Zheng Zhiguo.
Zheng Zhiguo's lips curled up to one side, a smug smile on his face, as he quickly carried his things upstairs.
Xiao Fu was about to go up too, but Xiao Yanfang stopped him, saying, "You shouldn't go with me."
"What's wrong, Chief Xiao?"
Xiao Yanfang crossed her arms, looking somewhat helpless.
An older comrade standing nearby spoke up: "This is Director Zheng's moment of glory. Why are you joining in? You have no sense of propriety at all."
Xiao Fu then realized what was going on, scratched his head, and laughed.
Wu Maocai went to the stairwell to greet Zheng Zhiguo. There weren't many people in the corridor, and Wu Maocai even spread out his arms to block Zheng Zhiguo, as if he were escorting some big star.
Old Wu looked so tense and serious, as if he had also participated in the operation at Humen.
Seeing his senior's actions, Zhao Kui couldn't help but think of a scene from a foreign movie, where the husband painstakingly prepares a meal and then brings it out, while the wife, who has been idle all day, stands by with her arms outstretched, blocking and protecting it, making it seem as if the wife has done the hard work.
"You must be tired from your journey, Director Zheng... take care..."
Wu Maocai turned sideways, spread his arms, and followed Zheng Zhiguo, leading the man to Dawei.
Zheng Zhiguo stopped, took a deep breath, and couldn't suppress his smile: "County Chief, I'm back."
"Okay, let's talk inside." Dawei put a hand on Zheng Zhiguo's shoulder and invited him into his office.
Zhao Kui brewed some tea and placed it on the tea table in front of Zheng Zhiguo.
Director Wu waved to Zhao Kui at the door and helped close the door to County Chief Chen's office.
"Come on, Kui, let's go down."
Wu Maocai led Zhao Kui down to the convoy in front of the lobby on the first floor.
"Gentlemen, you've had a tough time on this mission."
County Chief Chen had already made arrangements; the canteen would provide special meals for everyone tonight.
Come with me, let's go get something to eat first.
Director Wu led Xiao Yanfang and others to the canteen. After settling everyone in, Director Wu walked alone toward the county government building. He couldn't leave for too long, for fear that County Chief Chen might look for him at any time.
Old Wu was waiting for County Chief Chen to finish his work so he could eat with County Chief Chen and Zheng Zhiguo.
Just as I stepped out of the canteen, I ran into Xiao Lili from the county organization department, who was there to eat.
Minister Xiao was dressed conservatively today, wearing black trousers and a white fitted long-sleeved shirt. The clothes were well-tailored, highlighting her figure very clearly, with her curves in all the right places.
"Director Wu, aren't you going to eat?"
"Oh, I'll wait for the county magistrate to come with me." Wu Maocai hurriedly prepared to leave.
Xiao Lili stepped aside, blocking his path, and looked at Director Wu with a playful expression.
"What's the rush? What big thing is County Chief Chen up to, making such a fuss? What's that thing Zheng Zhiguo is holding?"
Wu Maocai looked around warily and whispered, "It's a dangerous thing. Don't ask too many questions. Pretend you don't know anything."
"Tsk, what is it?!" Xiao Lili stomped her feet twice.
The two had already reached a tacit understanding and become allies.
Wu Maocai had previously helped Xiao Lili, which put her in this position.
Wu Maocai wouldn't say much about other people.
But the other party is Xiao Lili, and they are friends, so it doesn't hurt to reveal some information.
"You don't have any dirt on Lao Zhou, do you?"
Xiao Lili crossed her arms and hissed softly, "I don't think so... We don't have any financial dealings."
"Then, what else?" Wu Maocai gave her a strange look as he looked her up and down.
Xiao Lili fell into a brief silence. She had been burned by Zhou Xiangzhang before, which was a secret, but it wasn't a big deal.
She and Zhou Xiangzhang only met once, and she was forced to drink quite a bit of alcohol, so she can't be blamed.
She's not Li Taoying, and she never actively seduced Zhou Xiangzhang.
But... did that bastard Zhou Xiangzhang take any photos secretly?
"There shouldn't be anything else..." she replied uncertainly.
Wu Maocai smiled meaningfully: "If you say there isn't, then there isn't."
It doesn't matter if we have it or not, since the items are in County Chief Chen's hands anyway.
He won't blackmail you or anything; at most, he'll just have a slightly worse impression of you.
Wu Maocai walked away with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Lili stood there, looked back at Wu Maocai's back, and then at the closed door of the County Head's office.
After that night at the hotel, David acted as if nothing had happened.
That's a bit heartless, isn't it?
Xiao Lili was somewhat saddened.
The struggle between Dawei and Zhou Xiangzhang has now reached a critical juncture, with Dawei's side showing an overwhelming advantage.
She got something crucial today, perhaps even something related to Xiao Lili's secret.
At this moment, Xiao Lili felt uneasy.
I really want to solidify my relationship with Dawei.
A man who gains power will attract countless beautiful women; she's afraid if she doesn't consolidate her power.
in the office.
David sat at his desk and slowly cut open the outer layers of vacuum-sealed bags with scissors.
Zheng Zhiguo sat on the guest sofa by the wall in his office, swallowing hard every now and then. From his angle, he couldn't see the contents of the notebook on the desk.
David opened the vacuum-sealed bag, carefully crumpled it into a ball, threw it in the trash can, and then straightened the light red-covered notebook in front of him.
He reached out his left hand, opened the cover, and then slowly turned to the first page…
David's expression was very serious, and his breathing became faster and faster.
The document is filled with detailed records of numerous accounts and transactions.
Look at these characters, they are Zhou Xiangzhang's own handwriting.

David flipped through the pages faster and faster, becoming more and more shocked as he read!
