Chapter 2: The Life-saving USB Drive
"Mayor Hou has been placed under ’shuanggui’!"
Hiding behind the screen, Lin Fan was startled, piecing together Chen Jiayi’s recent advance towards him, he vaguely sensed something was amiss. Still, there was much he didn’t understand and could only continue to sneak peeks through the crack.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Jiayi didn’t show the slightest surprise; she calmly sat back on the sofa, "Perhaps it’s just for assisting in an investigation."
From her nonchalant tone, she must have already received the news. Or perhaps, all of this was within her expectations.
"What assisting in an investigation? I’ve already found out, it’s about the corruption in the demolition compensation funds. All the project bosses have backed out, so this time, it looks set in stone."
Guo Baoming sat down beside Chen Jiayi, his rat-like eyes greedily gaping at her loose neckline: "But don’t worry, I’ve been in cahoots with Old Hou, we’re practically brothers. I’ll surely find a way to fish him out, and even if I truly can’t, I’ll take good care of my brother’s wife."
As he spoke, he actually placed his hand on Chen Jiayi’s knee and began to inch towards her thigh.
"Vice Mayor Guo, are you planning to take care of your brother’s wife in bed?"
Chen Jiayi swatted away Guo Baoming’s hand.
"Your Old Hou can’t come out. As a woman, you need a backer for the future, and I am your best support. Shouldn’t I take good care of you, in and out of bed?"
