Chapter 77 - Calamity Descends from the Sky

Since ancient times, there had been a saying, "Order of Annihilation". And now, no matter whether it was the area under management or the population under jurisdiction, the Party Secretary in any city could surpass the "Order of Annihilation" from ancient times. If Yin Yi's anger led to the annihilation of his clan, then wouldn't it be extremely easy for Party Secretary to destroy a mere Zheng Yanhong out of anger?

Thus, this series of plots was quickly born with the anger of the Party Secretary!

Before the disciplinary committee set up an investigation team to suddenly enter the school committee, Zheng Yanhong already had a bad premonition!

From the night that she left Lin Maoren in a panic, she had been anxiously awaiting his punishment. However, her short period of peace and quiet had given her another kind of fluke that she would rather believe in despite knowing that it was unrealistic.

Following that, the Municipal Committee Organization Department officially began her examination as the candidate of the Deputy mayor, and this situation gave her a false peace. How would she know that this was a trick Lin Maoren used before he attacked? He was even more happy to pay his respects to Lin Maoren, and nervously awaited the arrival of the public election.

Who knew that the one she was waiting for wasn't the public election, but Gao Mingliang who suddenly invited her to meet him one night. However, she was too upset to stay with him because she was waiting for the public election. Just as she tactfully rejected him, Gao Mingliang actually ordered her to go with a very serious tone, saying that he had something to tell her about her future.

He had no choice but to go! Zheng Yanhong perfunctorily listened to her as she answered the phone. He didn't notice the pain and hatred in his husband's eyes at all, and hastily went to his love nest with Gao Mingliang, only to hear another shocking piece of news. He received a report from the inside, informing her that she had used her authority to collect the kickbacks, and had even collected bribes.

Zheng Yanhong took out the envelope that Gao Mingliang had given her, and with trembling hands she pulled out a thick stack of paper. When she saw the list of crimes the informant had given her, she was so angry that she trembled and couldn't even stand properly.

Gao Mingliang tenderly carried her to the sofa and told her that since someone was plotting against her, this kind of report letter would definitely not only be sent to him. The other leaders might even receive it and have her think of a way to deal with it.

After Zheng Yanhong had been fuming for a while, she forced herself to calm down and analyze the situation. She felt that the facts described in the letter were mostly speculation and there was no solid evidence.

However, her luck was once again ruthlessly broken by the Gao Mingliang who was much more sensitive than her, and he said in a sharp voice: "Hong Hong, don't think that this is a small matter. If I don't have any other background and do some work in the city to suppress this matter, your opponent will probably just give up after making a ruckus for a while and seeing that there's no response. However, don't forget that right now is the special period for you to be nominated as a Marquis of the Deputy mayor. This matter might very well be directly related to your upcoming promotion! If that's the case, your opponent will not rest until he reaches his goal, so even if I suppress them, it will be hard to ensure that the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Municipal Committee will also help to suppress them! Furthermore, it is possible that the province has already received this thing. According to what I said, you should hurry to the province to go about your activities.

The more Zheng Yanhong listened, the more she felt that Gao Mingliang's words made sense. She went to the provincial capital the next day, and met with his godfather Lu Bowen secretly first. She frankly told her about her current situation and Lin Maoren's attitude towards her (Of course, she couldn't unintentionally say such a thing!) Asking Lu Bowen what should she do?

Lu Bowen was also a very decisive and wise leader, he asked about Zheng Yanhong's situation in the Cloud City in detail, and after careful consideration, he ordered the woman: "Hong Hong, in my opinion, Secretary Lin Maoren must be very unhappy about your participation in the Deputy mayor's election. Since there's so much resistance, it might not be a good thing for us to force the Cloud City's government to accept you! If the leader thinks too highly of you, then you will just be a Deputy mayor, with little room for growth in the future. That's why if you listen to your father, you will take the initiative to go to the Cloud City Board and resign as the candidate for the Deputy mayor. You will even become your chairman and wait for your father to create a good opportunity to transfer you to the provincial capital to develop. "

Since Zheng Yanhong was at a loss of what to do, she naturally followed Lu Bowen's advice. Next, she sincerely expressed to Cloud City that her abilities were limited, that she did not have enough experience, and that she did not have the talent to be a city leader. She was willing to withdraw from the public elections to continue training.

Provincial Committee Organization Department naturally admired her modesty, and after that she praised Zheng Yanhong's modesty to him. At the same time, she expressed that the province wouldn't interfere with the Yun Family's selection of the person as Deputy mayor, but she also used an undisguised praise to aggravate Zheng Yanhong's impression of her.

But it didn't matter if it was Lu Bowen, or Zheng Yanhong, no one realized that the power that men envied was simply destructive! So not only was Zheng Yanhong unable to quell her anger, she even mistakenly thought that Zheng Yanhong was the one who noticed his dissatisfaction and retreated on the surface. Going to the higher ups of the provincial capital was a completely different tactic!

This made him feel even more that his authority and the dignity of a man had been challenged like never before. His hatred for women had intensified, and his plans to destroy her had increased …

In reality, according to the Secretary Lin's idea, how could he simply send a few members of the Disciplinary Committee to investigate the matter in the name of "understanding the situation"? His original plan was to have the disciplinary committee and the procuratorate set up a special economic task force, and then execute the "two rules" on Comrade Zheng Yanhong as fast as lightning, sealing all of her escape routes from the very beginning and causing her to collapse immediately after being caught off guard.

But just at this moment, the people of the province also received a report like the one from the city two days after Cloud City. This was the disaster that Yang Qianli had stirred up! He did not listen to Lin Maoren's orders for him to just send a letter to the city, and thought that the more powerful he was, the faster Zheng Yanhong's death would be, and the faster he would be able to pass on the message, the more he would be able to send a report to Provincial Committee Organization Department, as well as to the provincial disciplinary committee and even the Provincial Education Office.

When Lu Bowen received Li Yuanhang's call, informing him that someone from the Cloud Capital had reported Zheng Yanhong to their school, he immediately thought of the incident where Zheng Yanhong had come to him to tell him that the city had already received something like this, and he keenly sensed that this was a premeditated conspiracy against his precious daughter!

In this situation, Lu Bowen did not come out personally for his daughter again, but instead ordered Li Yuanhang, in the name of protecting his subordinates and guaranteeing his loyalty, to stand up for Zheng Yanhong. Lu Bowen had even emotionally expressed that it was not easy for their Educational system to cultivate an outstanding Leading cadres like him, and if the Cloud City could not tolerate it, they would rather have Zheng Yanhong return to the provincial hall to work.

In this situation, the Provincial Disciplinary Committee was very clear that most of the anonymous information on this matter came from retaliation. They had to keep a low profile when they were trying to investigate Zheng Yanhong's incident, and they had to make sure that there were no conflicts before the truth was revealed, which would cause the Educational system to be dissatisfied and cause new trouble.

This order made Lin Maoren extremely furious, he scolded Yang Qianli angrily, but he did not dare disobey the instructions of the province, and could only change his previous vicious plan. He sent a few members of the disciplinary committee to interrogate Zheng Yanhong, causing Zheng Yanhong to be thrown into a complete disarray, and made ingenious arrangements at the periphery, in order to achieve her desired goal.

This was the storm that Zheng Yanhong had resolved before the disciplinary commission's investigation team arrived, when she was still operating in the provincial capital! When the investigation team arrived, she realized that she had indeed offended some people for some reason, and these people would not stop until she was dead.

With regards to the five or six so-called "investigation teams" that were led by a Division Chief to the Education Committee, although Zheng Yanhong was furious, she did not feel much fear towards them. She already knew from Gao Mingliang that the other party was capable of producing the evidence that was most worth the Municipal Commission on Discipline's attention, that they were "unwarranted", that she had instructed Zhao Shensan to "fix the location" during the event, and that she had accepted the kickbacks to the "designated location" of the service organizations.

Coincidentally, in this matter, Zheng Yanhong was the most righteous, because she had indeed not directly taken care of these trivial matters from the beginning till the end, but she was actually faintly complaining about Zhao Shensan, because the matter of the house that Zhao Shensan had eaten a great deal, had allowed her to invisibly come to a conclusion that this fellow was somewhat wealthy. Thus, she was extremely suspicious that she had suffered under Zhao Shensan's hands, and had been implicated and framed by him.

During the time that Zheng Yanhong was waiting to be questioned, the people from the Disciplinary Committee did not come into direct contact with her. Instead, they inquired about the methods from the middle level of the Education Committee to break through from the outside. This made Zheng Yanhong feel a bit of panic, because she knew very well that the quality of the people on the Education Committee's internal staff were mixed, there were plenty of people who harbored evil intentions. There were even people like Sun Tingdong who had coveted her position as the leader for a long time. During the investigation by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, it was hard to ensure that these people did not take advantage of her for their own benefits.

Just as Zheng Yanhong was sitting in his office in a hurry and found an excuse to enter Shuangshuang's office with a file, just when he wanted to hear some news, a thunderous roar from Zhao Shensan next door sounded. At that time, she had heard it clearly because they were separated by a wall. She was even smarter at using his anger to warn the rest of the middle level members of the Education Committee not to speak carelessly, and that he was endlessly praising her loyalty, but she purposely kept a straight face, and only appeared after the people from the Disciplinary Committee were unable to stop themselves from being courteous, but in reality, she completely condoned Zhao Shensan's actions, and actually went back home without even treating the people from the Disciplinary Committee any food.

This was the true background behind the incident with the school committee and even Zhao Shensan's extortion!

The reason behind this was extremely bizarre and strange. How could Zheng Yanhong, who was lying on the dark sofa in a daze and was thinking about everything, understand it completely?

She slowly thought back to when Lin Maoren had seen her expression twice, and it was as if she had fallen into a fog. She couldn't understand how she had angered the Secretary Lin, and how she had been punished so viciously.

While she was deep in thought, time ticked by bit. The midnight bell rang, and she was finally unable to understand what was going on. Just as she was about to give up and go to sleep, the door was suddenly opened by a key.

Fan Qianjin flashed into the house like an evil spirit. He switched on the light, changed into his slippers and turned around quickly, only to see his wife staring at him with shining eyes from the sofa!

As a guilty thief, when he saw the ghost-like thing, he shouted in fright, "Hong Hong, why are you waiting for me? I didn't do anything to let you down... "Ahhh!" Then, in a panic, he did something bad and staggered. The smooth wooden floor unexpectedly gave him a hard fall.

Zheng Yanhong originally did not suspect what he was doing most of the night, because there was no time limit for city nights. As long as you do not want to return home, there would naturally be plenty of places for you to fool around until dawn.

However, Fan Qianjin's current attitude had exceeded the usual surprise of seeing that she had not slept, completely feeling like he had been caught red-handed and guilty. This made Zheng Yanhong unable to help himself from thinking about the abnormality he had experienced these past few days.

Her heart was filled with doubts, but instead, she didn't speak the entire time. She stared at Fan Qianjin with eyes full of reproach and ridicule, as if she knew everything. Every time his eyes met hers, they would become even more flustered, to the point where he almost fell down and had to hold on to the wall to regain his balance.

"Ugh …" Red, why aren't you asleep yet? Are you still worried about the investigation? Look, do you want me to ask dad to step in and put some pressure on the city so they can stop investigating you? " After recovering from his shock, Fan Qianjin hurriedly put on a flattering look and went over to Zheng Yanhong's side, hugging her like a husband and consoling her.

In fact, Fan Qianjin might have forgotten that ever since he thought he was smart enough to go back to the provincial capital and make a divorce farce, although the two of them did not seem to be separated, Zheng Yanhong had hated him for being merciless. He had not given him a chance to kiss during this period of time. Whenever he wanted to hug her, she wouldn't have to struggle or scold him. He could only use his murderous gaze to make him retreat in sadness.

But tonight, he lost his composure and hugged his wife who originally didn't have the qualifications to be in his arms. This made him even more stupid, revealing his lack of confidence and the guilt of being a thief.

What was weird was that Zheng Yanhong did not struggle, she silently smelled the thick smoke and alcohol on Fan Qianjin's clothes, and the unique Fei Li scent that came from the arena mixed with the low smoke and perfume of the women, but she made a wrong judgement on Fan Qianjin's situation — — he went to find the prostitutes and the girls for fun!

After making a decision, Zheng Yanhong gritted her teeth in anger, feeling that she really had a hard time. It was one thing to find a man who failed in her career, but it just so happened that she was getting more and more dishonest in her life! Now that both of them had completely given up on him, he actually went to the extent of fooling around with dirty women, completely ignoring the fact that his wife was in dire straits and was in need of his arm as a man to comfort and protect her.

After a moment of disgust, she suddenly pushed him away and stood up as she coldly said, "Fan Qianjin, do something that you don't think you're very smart for, smart enough to hide everything from me! Your wife is currently in a difficult situation, so she naturally has no time to care about your little tricks. But remember, the family is supported by the three of us, and if you want to tear it down from your side, then do as you like! I, Zheng Yanhong, am not asking you to help me out when I'm in trouble, but it does not mean that you can take advantage of my predicament and act recklessly. "Before this day comes, you just have to enjoy it to your heart's content and hope for good fortune!"

Zheng Yanhong's words were originally because her husband was disappointing and warned him, but in actuality, she did not specifically point out what his "wanton actions" actually meant. She simply meant that he shouldn't go out and indulge herself when she was in trouble.

Unfortunately, Fan Qianjin is a man with a guilty conscience, and during this period of time, he has been deliberately trying to cater to Lin Maoren, trying to make his fall.

At this moment, when he heard Zheng Yanhong say that viciously and walked into the bedroom, and even heavily locking the door, he still felt despair. His conspiracy had already been completely exposed, and now that Zheng Yanhong knew what he had done, she was scared out of her wits.

Just then, Zheng Yanhong's forceful slam of the door woke up Shuangshuang, who walked out fearfully to see what was happening downstairs. As for Fan Qianjin, who was in despair, when he saw Shuangshuang who was walking up the stairs, a strand of hope appeared in his fish-like eyes. He quickly pulled himself together and beckoned for her to come down.

When both of them saw that there was only Fan Qianjin in the living room, they felt troubled! However, she could tell that this man was abnormal, so he decided to be kind.

Once again, Fan Qianjin's act of being smart worked. In the process of thinking that he knew a little about what his wife had done from both sides, he actually leaked out his own conspiracy …
