Chapter 140 - The Mystery of the Mrs. Lin

Zhao Shensan watched dumbfoundedly as these two people who could have been enemies with each other instantly became close friends that were even closer than he was. At this moment, he let out a cry of shock: "God, you two actually grew up together?"

Zhu Changshan actually recognized Zheng Yanhong, and as if he had experienced the pain of being transformed into a butterfly, breaking out of his cocoon was as easy as lifting off a cocoon. He laughed heartily and pushed Zheng Yanhong away, then smiled towards Zhao Shensan with tears in his eyes: "Hahaha, yeah brother, you don't know, right? I've held this girl since she was born! I'm basically her nanny! "

Zheng Yanhong sat down with a sad expression, she took off the hat on her head and sighed: "Hmm, Xiao Zhao, now you understand why you keep reminding me to be wary of Zhu Changshan, don't you? That is, I already had a feeling that he wouldn't be so cruel to me. Although his appearance had changed a lot after I first met him, I couldn't be mistaken when he looked at me. That was something only someone who truly loved me would have it! So at that time, although I still did not think of him and Huang Xiangyang as one, I had already dared to leave life and death matters to him. "

In fact, Zheng Yanhong's words were true and false. Back then, she had indeed casually handed the matter of extortion over to Zhu Changshan, but at that time, she was still in a dilemma on whether or not to accept Lin Maoren's pursuit. How could she have the mind to verify that Zhu Changshan was the most important protector god in her life for the past 16 years?

Furthermore, her oldest playmate was Fan Qianjin. Even though Huang Xiangyang, who was more than ten years older than her, was also a child in a military compound, and was even treated as a son by her father, she would at most be a backer, a scapegoat to clean up the mess she created!

At that time, she didn't know that Huang Xiangyang's departure was related to her, she only gave the photo to Zhu Changshan to deal with. He was completely like a woman who was born to be clever and cunning, because she had already guessed that the photo was actually Zhu Changshan's doing. As for whether or not he would bring any threat to her, her consideration at that time was that since he could come so close to her deliberately, it meant that he needed something from her.

From the moment he accompanied her on an inspection of the Phoenix Spring, to his meticulous care and indifference towards Ma Huimin, she had felt a kind of heartfelt sense of femininity and vanity. However, she had never thought of Huang Xiangyang, thinking that he was just like her, bewitched by her beauty, and was only a man who was willing to run away for her.

But as she delved deeper and deeper into the matter, she had already faintly discovered that this man's attention towards her had long since exceeded the scope of a normal admirer. If she could sense Zhu Changshan's presence when she was waiting for him at the entrance of the Shunfeng Market two or three times, this man was undoubtedly paying attention to her! This was not right!

She understood that when a man likes a woman, regardless of whether he gets it or not, the jealousy won't go away. She had used this trait to ingeniously make Lin Maoren and Gao Mingliang fall in love, and finally got rid of him, so if it was out of love, after sensing the close relationship between Lin Maoren and her, Zhu Changshan should have given up on her. After all, with his financial and material strength, as well as his ability, wouldn't chasing an ordinary woman be a piece of cake?

Based on Zhu Changshan's nature, he would never fight with the Party Secretary for the sake of a woman, but Zhu Changshan still chased after her relentlessly. This kind of chasing after was not a pursuit between men and women, it was a complete political threat!

To be honest, Zheng Yanhong's scheme was completely incomprehensible to Zheng Yanhong. She had only relied on mere clues to sense the existence of such a threat, and even more so, did not comprehend that Ma Huimin's direct challenge to her was on the surface that it would confuse her attention. She even more so, did not realize that Zhu Changshan had already successfully pulled her closer to the center of a huge, extremely dangerous political whirlpool. If she had such powerful observation and comprehension, then she, Zheng Yanhong, would become a Spirit Demon like.

However, don't forget that she was a woman, and a very intelligent woman. She didn't need to have much ability to sense danger, as long as she could feel it, then that was enough! As she walked step by step, discovering that Zhu Changshan was getting deeper and deeper into her life and that his attitude towards her was always swaying between "love" and "harm", she started to confirm her suspicions out of surprise. In the end, she was able to verify that there were two extremely unrelated people together, and only then did she go back to her parents' home to find out what was going on. However, she was still uncertain when she finally found the sixteen year old clothes and brought them back to the Cloud Capital.

Zhao Shensan did not realize that the moment he entered the room, Zheng Yanhong had already used a type of "I knew it all along" confidence to give Zhu Changshan a huge blow, allowing him to presume that she had already figured out all of his plans —

Wearing the clothes Huang Xiangyang had bought her, Zheng Yanhong leisurely opened the door as he sat there confidently waiting for his prey to take the bait. But when the door opened, a head popped out from the crack of the door, which he was extremely familiar with, wearing a small red hat on his head that was crooked at the side and his white and red face was reflected in his fluffy hair. He winked at, stuck out his tongue, and then revealed a very wronged and innocent look and gently said: "Xiangyang, ignore me … Zhao Xiaoli's flowery skirt was cut to pieces today. Her mother was chasing after me, what do you think we should do? "

Zhu Changshan was already stunned! This scene often occurred fifteen years ago, when this girl was always afraid to go home after getting into trouble, and would secretly run to his living quarters to look for him. This scene was so impressive that it actually caused him to lose the calmness of his years of training, and also caused him to lose his fifteen years of memory in an instant. It was as if time had instantly returned to fifteen years ago — that girl did not run away, but went to school in the new clothes he bought, and this big brother of his, who had always doted on her since she was born, had to protect her, had to come out and clean up the mess for her once again.

"Hongyan?" What did you do now? Is it because her dress is prettier than yours that you don't like it? " He slowly stood up, and unknowingly, he had already regained Huang Xiangyang's identity. His face was instantly filled with a blaming and doting expression as he walked towards Zheng Yanhong step by step.

"Hmph, who let her say that my pants aren't good? I cut her skirt so she doesn't show off! " Zheng Yanhong completely jumped in from outside, looking full of himself, as if he was spoiled.

Without a doubt, Zheng Yanhong's appearance made Zhu Changshan, who was shocked by the reversal of time, confused. He sat down on the chair in a daze as she watched the cute and hateful girl jump to the window, regardless of the cold winter when the window was opened, and then what Zhao Shensan saw happened …

Although he had suspected that Zhu Changshan saw him as a brother to make use of him, but now that he had clearly heard everything that had happened, he felt a sense of funniness from the "brotherly love" that he once attached great importance to, that "he could strike twice with his head?" "Wives are like clothes, brothers are like brothers?" Wasn't it taking advantage of each other? If he was not Zheng Yanhong's secretary, how could a person like Zhu Changshan be a corporal and treat him as his new brother?

He looked at the scene of the two of them reuniting as they cried and laughed in the room. His heart felt sour and bitter at the same time, but what could he do about it? blame it on Zhu Changshan's use of him? Or could it be that Zheng Yanhong had already noticed that something was amiss and did not tell him? Undoubtedly, these two choices were extremely foolish! Because Zhu Changshan was such a resourceful person, unless he was determined to cut off all ties with Zhu Changshan, wouldn't he just be using him as he pleased? What use could it have if he could break it? It would be even more irrational to complain to Zheng Yanhong. He was originally your superior, boss, and master, if he had any privacy, would he still need to tell you a secretary? Even if they were close friends with you, it was a huge secret. Why would they tell you all of it?

Therefore, Zhao Shensan very quickly smiled bitterly and said: "Director Zhu, hehe, looks like I'm the dumbest one! First, you used him to get close to the Mayor Zheng, then you used him to get to know Guo Xiaopeng, and finally, even more shamelessly brought along Dean Ma Huimin, bringing your plan closer and closer to perfection! If you didn't reveal it yourself today, who knows how many stupid things I would have done because of my unconditional trust in you! "

Zheng Yanhong stared at him and said: "That's right, to think that you boasted about him from the beginning, and almost became a godfather level character. But to be used by others and even helped promote him, you are truly foolish!"

Zhu Changshan patted Zhao Shensan's shoulder and said: "Xiao Zhao, don't feel bad. Actually you better not blame Big Brother for using you. If I wanted to use the people from your teaching committee back then, how many people from Fang Yongtai's side could? Why bring you into my circle? You didn't come in vain, did you? Right now, if I don't help protect the business you guys have with De Zi, no one can investigate it, right? "

Zhao Shensan's face suddenly flushed red, because he had always thought that Zhu Changshan was unaware of his business dealings with him. Only now did he quickly say: "Uhh … "Big Brother, actually, Brother De and I wanted to tell you this a long time ago. It's just that Brother De is afraid …"

"Afraid I won't let you do it, right? Humph! Actually, think about it. Which mine has the procedures for downloading workers and does not need my signature and seal? Can you fool me with your little tricks? It's just that I'm not willing to care about you guys! " Zhu Changshan said.

Hearing that the two had talked about some business, Zheng Yanhong finally broke free from her emotions and asked in surprise: "What business? Xiao Zhao actually knew how to do business? Do you want to make money? "

"Oh, it was when I was still on the Education Committee that I got into a bad relationship with Director Ma, right? "I got a bad job doing a training class with a friend. Business is not bad, hee hee." Zhao Shensan said while smiling embarrassedly.

Zhu Changshan said: "Actually, they only dared to take advantage of the policy because I'm the Chief of the Security Bureau. This is a business that benefits the entire world, so of course they would make a lot of money! Even if you do not want to stop, you should not be the legal representative, and if there is a problem, you are now the first person to take responsibility for it. If not for you, De Zi has followed me for many years, I will not be able to tell you this secret! "

Zhao Shensan was startled, then he understood why Wang De had made him a legal person at that time, and why he seemed so guilty and hesitant. If it wasn't for Xu Chaodong's constant urging, Wang De wouldn't have wanted him to participate.

He looked at Zhu Changshan with gratitude and said: "Thank you big brother, I will immediately go through the relevant procedures when I get back."

Zheng Yanhong was a big spender, upon hearing Zhao Shensan say that it was due to her discord with Ma Huimin, she did not question him anymore. Her guess about the joy of being verified as well as the excitement of obtaining a backer made her overlook this hidden danger, and she only stared at Zhu Changshan. No, it should be said that Huang Xiangyang was asking her: "Xiangyang, how is Auntie Huang? Where is she now? I miss her. How have you been all these years? Why have you never contacted us? Is it really because I hate our family? Actually, my dad has always liked you. He was unhappy for a long time after you left, so he just went to Uncle Qiao's grave to repent, saying that he shouldn't have taken care of you and Auntie Huang, and always used you to educate my brothers! "

The series of questions caused Zhao Shensan to be confused, because he did not understand why Huang Xiangyang had the same surname as his mother and why he was kicked out of Old Master Zheng to confess to Uncle Qiao's tomb.

Hearing this series of questions, Zhu Changshan's face darkened even more. It was as if he did not want to answer these questions, as though these questions were actually sharp knives that would once again remove his scabs, causing him to be drenched in blood.

"Sigh!" Your Auntie Huang is pretty good, I'll take you to see her in a few days. As for my matters, you don't need to ask. In short, I can't starve even if I'm a living person wherever I go. Forget it, let's talk about something else. " Zhu Changshan evaded vaguely.

Zheng Yanhong guiltily lowered her head and said: "I am sorry Xiangyang, I understand that if you had not left, you would definitely be a young and capable military officer now, but because of my mischievousness, you ruined your future … "You must have suffered a lot when you left, sorry …"

"Hey hey! Forget it, forget it! I have already thought it through. Being in the army is just a military official. Staying in the military camp for the rest of my life is boring. How can I be as comfortable as I am now? "As long as it's something I want to do, I can try it myself. It suits my personality, so don't apologize, I feel uncomfortable listening to it!" Zhu Changshan said straightforwardly.

The Zhao Shensan who was listening to his had actually gained a systematic understanding of the mischievous nature of her childhood. However, not only did he not get tired of her crafty actions since he was young, he had a closer relationship with her, and his love for her had also deepened by a level.

When dinner ended, it was already very late, but Zheng Yanhong actually received a phone call. She looked at the two of them cautiously, stood up and walked to the window, then said softly: "I have something to eat outside tonight, and it's not over yet! Oh? Let's talk about it tomorrow, I really can't go... What? Are you really sick? However … "Alright, I'll go over later."

When she returned to her seat with an ugly expression on her face, Zhu Changshan said cleverly: "Hong Hong, since you have something to do, hurry up and go. It's getting late, you should go home early!"

Zheng Yanhong said: "A friend said that he is sick, I must go and take a look …"

Zhu Changshan had already stood up and was about to leave, but he stopped. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Three, you go and drive the carriage over first."

After Zhao Shensan left, he said with a cold face: "Hong Hong, if you didn't recognize me tonight, then it would be fine, but since you did, I will use my elder brother's authority to request for you! Tell me honestly, is the patient you want to see Secretary Lin Maoren? "

Zheng Yanhong's face immediately flushed red. She winced for a moment, and in the end, she had still grown up relying on Huang Xiangyang, which made her shy as she nodded and muttered to herself: "You knew it, you had already followed me several times already, why didn't you see him picking me up at the entrance of the Shunfeng Market?"

Zhu Changshan's expression became even more solemn. With a dark face, he sat down again and said: "Hong Hong, don't be in such a hurry to leave, sit over here and I'll tell you something!"

In front of the Huang Xiangyang who she had relied on and feared when he was young, Zheng Yanhong really did not dare to leave, and he slowly rubbed his hands together as he sat back down on his chair, staring at his.

"Red, I have not interacted with Fan Qianjin for many years. I only remember that he was a rather obedient and docile child when he was young, following you around like an idiot all day long. I had a premonition that Chief Executive wanted him to be my son-in-law, and thought that it was quite appropriate.

Zheng Yanhong thought that Zhu Changshan would just call her back and end it with a few sentences. Who would have thought that he would actually start talking so much about Fan Qianjin, and this made her a little worried, because Lin Maoren said that he was really sick. She would not be able to relax even if she did not go.

What was in Zhu Changshan's eyes? He had long known that this girl was in a hurry to leave yet was embarrassed to sit down and give him face. However, he still did not have the intention of letting her go right away, but continued to speak: "Seeing that Fan Qianjin is cheating with someone else and even looking so calm, I already knew that you, this proud and arrogant girl, has suffered greatly if you were to follow him! "Therefore, I'm not surprised at all that you have an extramarital affair, and even more so that I won't judge you using my ordinary eyes …"

Hearing that he had suddenly changed the topic, and even mentioned that she was having an extramarital affair, Zheng Yanhong became even more embarrassed. He lowered his head and muttered: "Actually … I'm not disappointed in the progress... First it was the forest... "Ugh …" He chased after me, and I tried my best to flatter him, but then I thought he was very serious, and slowly I was moved by him … "

"Then you're dumb!" Zhu Changshan slapped his thigh and said: "Forget it, I won't tell you what his privacy is first, so I'll just ask you a few simple questions, okay?"

Hearing that Zhu Changshan's words were strange, Zheng Yanhong was not in a hurry to leave, and nodded his head anxiously.

"Firstly, Secretary Lin has been in the Cloud City for three or four years, right? Did you ever hear anyone mention where his lover was? Who is it? Where was their home? The child's condition? If it was another leader, like Gao Mingliang, would you have the same feeling of not knowing anything at all? " Zhu Changshan asked as he sat down steadily.

Normally, when looking at a leader's family, even if it was a leader who had very close relationships with others, Zheng Yanhong would never have the habit of investigating other people's family's situation, but if she didn't care, then naturally there would be others who would care about it, so the leaders' family situation had always been a gossiping topic that the officials were interested in, and even if Zheng Yanhong didn't ask, there would still be people who would voluntarily tell her about it. If Zhu Changshan did not mention anything about her, she would not have noticed. Now that she thought about it, it was really true, she knew about the families of the many leaders of the cities in Cloud City, but there were actually no gossip about the families of Secretary Lin!

"Ugh …" Really, I don't know. However … I think maybe it's because I don't know him that... Weakness of heart... Didn't pay attention to these things? Is there something wrong with that Xiangyang? " Zheng Yanhong's heart could not help but feel fear, to think that he would actually stutter.

"Humph!" I knew you were tricked by him! In fact, he has an extremely beautiful wife, not one bit worse than you. He spent a lot of effort to get this wife, but when he married her home, he only suspected her every day, just like the doctor in the TV series "Don't Talk to Strangers" from a few years ago. Even his wife and male colleagues were laughing at him, and he was so angry that he wanted to put her in a cage so that he could take care of her.

Zheng Yanhong was stunned! She sat there dumbly, her eyes stiff and unmoving, but in her heart, she was slowly confirming Lin Maoren's attitude towards her. Thinking of how he would suspect her because of such a small matter, and even show such an overbearing and exclusive appearance, and even eating Fan Qianjin's vinegar, encouraging her to quickly divorce and live with him, the more she thought about it, the colder she felt, and the more terrified she became!

"I also just found out about this situation because a lover of an acquaintance had just returned from abroad and met Mrs. Lin there. Maybe Mrs. Lin doesn't have many friends there, and is very close to her, so she told her about the family's situation with her words. Red, do you now understand what kind of man you love? With your reckless personality, do you think you can become Lin Maoren's caged canary? " Zhu Changshan explained.

Zheng Yanhong's face turned white bit by bit. She remained silent for a while, and in the end, she suddenly raised her head and asked: "Xiangyang, if I didn't ambush you tonight and force you to admit that you're Huang Xiangyang, what are you trying to do by coming to see me as Zhu Changshan?"

Zhu Changshan had often been bewitched by Zheng Yanhong's abnormal jumping thinking. Seeing how she was currently immersed in Lin Maoren's terror and feeling extremely sad, and was even thinking that it would be better to have it hurt more than it hurt more, she felt completely unwell tonight and quickly gave up on Lin Maoren. She did not expect she would suddenly ask about him, which caused him to be caught off guard.

After a long while, Zhu Changshan finally opened his mouth and said: "Err … I also wanted to tell you this … However, that intention is completely different from the one I'm giving you now! It's to disrupt your mind, dispel the idea of having birthday parties with him for his mother, further divide the intimacy between you two, create fear and estrangement between you two towards him, at the same time make him resent and dissatisfied with your disloyalty, and then only then can you break through each other after the year is over and the actions that subvert you two completely. "

"So now you're still telling me, is this a reminder to my sister from an older brother?" Zheng Yanhong's eyes lit up all of a sudden. He stared at Zhu Changshan with a fixed gaze that was filled with blue light, which actually made him flinch. He only spoke after dodging: "What do you think? If it wasn't to remind you, what else could it be? "

Zheng Yanhong slowly said: "Xiangyang, do you know? I really regret this … I regret that I didn't recognize you tonight... If you follow the original plan and use Zhu Changshan's identity to tell me about this, I might be able to accept it a little more … Sigh! "Forget it, even if that's the case, I have already promised to go over and see him. Even if I have to end it here, I will still go over."

Zhu Changshan was stunned! No matter how smart he was, he couldn't guess what this girl was thinking. Where was the difference between Huang Xiangyang and her?

However, Zheng Yanhong didn't say anything, and had already walked out from his confusion …
