Zhang Hongyang felt his face become deathly pale with anger, his whole body trembling.
He suddenly clung to the car door frame, looking as if he wouldn't let Liu Zhizhong leave!
He leaned against the car door, his head lowered, he said fiercely, "Can't you fucking stop mentioning my sister? Will you die if you don't bring her up? Always clinging to that, don't you have any bottom line? This matter..."
Zhang Hongyang said this while also forcefully adjusting his emotions, trying to calm himself down a bit.
Because Luo Tianlin had earnestly told him that an official who can't control their emotions is bound to encounter big problems and won't get far.
Zhang Hongyang continued, "The matter with my sister is a done deal, irreversible, I don't want to dwell on it anymore. But don't you fucking get cocky, Liu Zhizhong, or you'll regret it! Just don't bring up my aunt out of respect for her, you're nothing but a dog serving her, and now you've been kicked away."
Who would have thought, eh, that what Liu Zhizhong said about his aunt's behalf and about his sister was of the same nature. If the aunt had been slept with by Liu Zhizhong too, would Zhang Hongyang spit blood from rage upon learning the truth?
"Right, right, right, you're absolutely correct," Liu Zhizhong hurriedly nodded his head repeatedly, looking very serious, "You being able to let go of the matter with your sister is also progress. Brother-in-law is very pleased to see your progress! Old Secretary is a legend of Yangzhou, a pity his curtain has fallen. You are his greatest love and expectation, I hope you can create your own legend! Keep it up, I believe in you, I'll be as tolerant with you as possible! Well then, I'll be leaving, take care of yourself! During the mourning period, refrain from carnal desires, otherwise it would be a great disrespect to the deceased! I hope Zhao Han finds her way back home!"
Liu Zhizhong spoke with heartfelt sincerity and inspiration. But to Zhang Hongyang, it was fucking lecturing, washing over him with feelings of disgust and revulsion!
Especially when it came to Zhao Han, Zhang Hongyang felt pain in his very core, knowing what Liu Zhizhong meant.
Zhang Hongyang was so angry he clenched his teeth, then clenched them again, nearly unable to hold back from slapping this rotten adulterer across the face.
After Liu Zhizhong left, Zhang Hongyang's entire mood plummeted.
The grandfather who loved and cherished him was gone, and he had lost a huge political asset; his sister had given herself to Liu Zhizhong, beyond reclaiming by all measures. His wife, Zhao Han, had also become Liu Zhizhong's. How fucking lucky was this bastard Liu Zhizhong to get his hands on both sisters...
A strong sense of failure engulfed Zhang Hongyang's heart, turning his complexion exceedingly ugly. Damn it, his expression matched the somber tone of the funeral.
After a long silence, Zhang Hongyang finally lit a cigarette and sat down on a bench by the parking lot, wallowing in his thoughts about his grudge with Liu Zhizhong. What to do, how to resolve it, how to vent the hatred festering in his heart?
Liu Zhizhong had become the thorn in Zhang Hongyang's side, an irritant that must be removed for peace of mind, sigh~~~~
After much thought, Zhang Hongyang decided to disregard Luo Tianlin's advice. Fine, after Grandfather's funeral is over, no... after the Seventh Seven, I'll see what Liu Zhizhong is up to. If he's fallen on hard times, then let it go.
But if he hasn't fallen and instead has obtained an even better position, then I'm sorry, I'll certainly have to annihilate you!
What he meant was truly killing the guy!
Oh, that's right, at least let me finish dubbing my TV drama "County Government Office" first, drain it of value, and then it'll be your fucking demise!
Heh, it's really... no one is as ruthless as Zhang Hongyang; folks, steer clear of officialdom!
Young Master Zhang was boiling with rage, truly ready to commit murder!
Anyway, it seems like he's already gotten his hands dirty with blood, haha... remember that tender university student model?
Her boyfriend... oh, more like suitor, Qian Peng, is now following Zhang Hongyang around, doing pretty well for himself in Shadong County!
Qian Peng was originally a pretty upright university student, even if a bit stubborn, but someone who reasoned honestly. However, the sad reality is that when honest people turn bad, they do it quickly!
Just like Qian Peng, who learned the ropes under Zhang Hongyang in just a few days, demeanor and bad habits already beginning to show. This kid's got a bit of cunning not being used for good, which makes it pretty bad.
That's how people are, shaped by their environment. Once you enter officialdom and have someone like Zhang Hongyang as a Master, it's impossible not to turn bad... ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
And Liu Zhizhong, of course, had no idea that Zhang Hongyang had murderous intentions.
Driving home, he felt a sense of relief wash over him.
Certainly, he knew he shouldn't attend Old Sir Zhang's funeral anymore, and soon the whole of Yangzhou would know. In officialdom, people say all sorts of things, so let it go! At worst, those unaware of the details would say I lack discretion, not understanding the social intricacies of politics; those in the know would only comment on how domineering and overbearing Yue Xing is.
What Liu Zhizhong was most worried about was the spread of Zhang Hongyang's deduction; that would be no small matter.
On the way back, he also received messages from both Lu Yumei and Zhao Han! Despite being busy, mother and daughter made sure to give Liu Zhizhong their full concern.
Lu Yumei told Liu Zhizhong to make sure to rest up, insist on taking a vacation, and forget about what's happening here, not to feel responsible for Master Zhang's death or carry that burden of thought. Not being Yue Xing's secretary isn't the end of the world. Screw serving that wench!
The gist of Zhao Han's message was similar, telling Liu Zhizhong to go clear his mind, not to care about these rumors. In her heart, he was innocent, and she would always stand with him.
This was the warmth of family, bringing comfort to Liu Zhizhong's heart. But he also understood, if the speculation about Zhang Hongyang was spreading and Lu Yumei and Zhao Han both knew, then...
When he got home, just about to pack his luggage and really take off for a vacation in Shennong Valley, Zhao Yan unexpectedly took the initiative to call him…
