Hongyang really wanted to say, "No matter how I look at you, it seems like you got taken advantage of," but he dared not speak.
Who knew how Sister would explode after hearing that?
All he could do was compose himself, and sheepishly said, "Big sister, I just called you last night, and your phone was off. I was really worried about you. Also, Liu Zhizhong made it home safe, and I'm a bit uneasy about that, so..."
"Enough, don't mention that jerk. That bastard played a drinking game with me last night. I drank for real, and he pretended, pouring his liquor into the soup, into the tea cup—it pissed me off! I forced him to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and he said he had to outdrink me before he'd eat—it pissed me off... The bastard took advantage of my drunkenness to delete his surveillance videos, which were my evidence of his messing around here, all gone, all gone! I really wanted to kill the scumbag!"
As Zhang Qixiang alternated between lying and blustering, it almost seemed genuinely possible, nearly convincing Hongyang.
Although Hongyang somewhat doubted her, he still didn't dare to rub his sister the wrong way and quickly said, "That jerk dodged a bullet this time, he's lucky! Next time, he won't be so fortunate. Sis, we definitely need to come up with a better plan to screw him over again..."
"Let it go, stop talking about this. If you're going to mess with Liu Zhizhong again, think of a better approach. Your efforts last night really messed up my drinking, and my head is still spinning! I've gone through so much trouble for you, I just want to eat and rest now, so hurry up and leave, don't make me angry!"
"Alright, alright, Sis, don't get angry, don't get angry, I'm leaving, I'm leaving..."
Hongyang didn't dare say anything else and swiftly admitted defeat and retreated.
Behind him, Zhang Qixiang felt miserable, thinking that she truly demeaned herself, unable to say anything, yet still covering for Liu Zhizhong.
This precious body of hers, just to be taken advantage of by that bastard! The death penalty might be avoidable, but not the living punishment!
Thus, Zhang Qixiang's thoughts stirred, and she went downstairs.
Passing by the second-floor restaurant and looking at the clean, tidy dining table, she really seethed with hatred!
That son of a bitch Liu Zhizhong had someone clean up the restaurant so early. Even if she truly wanted to investigate who drugged her, how in the hell could she?
A suffocating anger built up in Zhang Qixiang's heart!
She returned to her villa, changed her clothes, had breakfast, made some arrangements, and then was ready to call Liu Zhizhong...
Meanwhile, having been snubbed by his sister at Tianrun Villa, Hongyang left, pondering on how to mess with Liu Zhizhong again.
This time, he certainly intended to crush him utterly. Read complete versıon only at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
As he drove, lost in thought, a glance caught his eye.
Wasn't that Liu Zhizhong's car by the river?
What was he doing here?
At this time, shouldn't he be at the City Committee Courtyard serving as the Secretary of Municipal Committee?
Hongyang frowned, slowed down the car, this wasn't far from his sister's Tianrun Villa at all!
Dammit, what was going on?
Hongyang's heart skipped a beat and immediately, he did a U-turn and drove straight toward Liu Zhizhong's car.
Liu Zhizhong was just outside his car, sitting on a large rock near the river. Above his head were several large willow trees, shielding him from the harsh sunlight, quite cool.
He smoked, fiddled with his phone, and didn't notice Hongyang's car approaching.
When Hongyang stopped the car, Liu Zhizhong finally turned his head and saw his Mercedes.
Instantly, Liu Zhizhong murmured to himself, what was that jerk doing here? This was close to his sister's Tianrun Villa!
However, Liu Zhizhong quickly schemed and then grinned, hopping down from the rock,
"Yo... Mr. Zhang from the district, what brings you here all alone to personally inspect the South City River?" Liu Zhizhong said, pointing towards the segment of the river in front of him.
Indeed, this stretch of river was called the South City River, which also lent its name to the Southern District, the mother river of Southern District!
Hearing that "Mr. Zhang," Hongyang felt as if Liu Zhizhong was calling him a maggot.
Of course, adding a leader's surname before the office was fine. Hongyang was already a deputy district chief! Calling him "Mr. Zhang" was even flattering him.
Like in a township, there were Wang Town, Li Town, Zhao Town...
His expression grave, Hongyang, with his slightly plump stomach, indeed resembled a fat white maggot.
He lit a cigarette for himself and came over with a cold face, "Liu Zhizhong, cut the crap! Tell me honestly, what are you doing here?"
Looking serious, Liu Zhizhong questioned, "Eh? Mr. Zhang, have you been promoted to the Disciplinary Committee? Are you here to investigate me?"
"Stop beating around the bush! I'm asking you, did you take advantage of my sister last night?"
Liu Zhizhong raised his eyebrows, already grasping the situation, and immediately said, "What are you talking about? Did Sister Qixiang say something?"
"I'm asking you, don't play dumb!" Hongyang pointed at Liu Zhizhong's nose, his authoritative aura truly imperious…
