284: Chapter 283: Blackmail 284: Chapter 283: Blackmail Before Secretary Zhou could speak, Liu Hun was the first to open his mouth and say, “You don’t need to worry about that, I know you have properties in both the city and the county. I will buy all your properties for double the price, and after that, you can leave Yuhua City and go wherever you want to live a carefree life. You only have these two choices, either go to court or cooperate with me. My patience is limited.” Wang Mei was coerced by Liu Hun on one side, and persuaded by Secretary Zhou on the other, finally gritting her teeth and nodding in agreement. While Liu Hun was doing everything possible to dig up dirt on Li Tianyang behind the scenes, the atmosphere in the County Committee compound of Anchang County was also permeated with cunning and infighting. Xiao Yanzi wholeheartedly thought that the issue with the mine was enough to give Li Tianyang a headache, but she didn’t expect Li Tianyang’s power to still be quite formidable. Not only did he get Secretary Zhou to take the fall for him, but he even had his negative evaluations wiped clean from above. During this period, Xiao Yanzi had been quite agitated, having to relieve herself at least twice each night at home, or else she truly couldn’t sleep. If she wished, there were plenty of people from the city to the province willing to “take care of her,” and her position would certainly skyrocket like a rocket, but that was not what she wanted. One by one, with their chubby greasy bellies, just thinking about it made her nauseous. Xiao Yanzi tried to imagine the hidden rules, and realized she couldn’t accept it at all. If there really was someone like him... Xiao Yanzi thought, and unexpectedly, Liu Hun’s image emerged in her mind, and she couldn’t help recalling that scene he witnessed that day, suddenly feeling a slight heat in her body. “Knock, knock, knock!” A series of knocks on the door snapped Xiao Yanzi out of her reverie, and she shouted towards the door, “Come in!” After the door opened, the person who came in was Han Jiazhen, the director of the office, who smiled at Xiao Yanzi and said, “County Chief Xiao, I have some materials here I’d like you to look at.” “Just bring them here,” Xiao Yanzi said casually to Han Jiazhen. Han Jiazhen immediately handed the materials to Xiao Yanzi. She had just flipped through two pages when her face suddenly contorted. She slammed the materials down on the desk and said to Han Jiazhen with an iron face, “Director Han! What is the meaning of this?!” Han Jiazhen shuddered, still quite fearful of this majestic female superior. But no matter whether he was ‘a rat wielding a gun threatening a cat’ or ‘a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh,’ he was determined to take a gamble. Xiao Yanzi’s tempting prize was something he had to taste by all means. “County Chief Xiao, please don’t get excited. I haven’t shown these materials to anyone else, I brought them to you first,” Han Jiazhen said with a sheepish smile to Xiao Yanzi. Xiao Yanzi was unclear about Han Jiazhen’s true intentions, but showing her the materials on her own bribe-taking was clearly not out of goodwill. She softened her tone a bit and asked Han Jiazhen, “Director Han, you can speak frankly.” Han Jiazhen gave a sly smile, then gradually moved closer to Xiao Yanzi and said, “County Chief Xiao, you know Secretary Li has been displeased with you for a long time. Think about what would happen if these things ended up on his desk.” “Are you threatening me?” Xiao Yanzi looked at the ever-closer Han Jiazhen, feeling nauseated just by his bald head. “No, no, no! I’m just looking for a proper way out for both of us.” Han Jiazhen, growing bolder, reached out as if trying to touch Xiao Yanzi’s face. “Slap!” Xiao Yanzi glared at Han Jiazhen and smacked away his presumptuous hand, “Han Jiazhen! How dare you!” Han Jiazhen didn’t expect Xiao Yanzi to show her temper at this time. He stepped back a few steps, and although he held the materials in his hand, he was indeed somewhat intimidated by Xiao Yanzi, and said tremulously, “Xiao... Xiao Yanzi, don’t be too arrogant! Stupid woman! Don’t play hard to get with me. Who do you think you are fooling? I know full well that you’ve been involved with Liu Hun from Jinxin Mining. The way you secretly swapped the bidding document, I saw it all very clearly!” Xiao Yanzi didn’t expect Han Jiazhen to have discovered this too. She slammed her hand on the table and said to Han Jiazhen, “So what if you know? Let me make it clear to you, Han Jiazhen, don’t you even think about taking advantage of me! I, Xiao Yanzi, will not be threatened by anyone!” “Fine... fine! Xiao Yanzi, you’re not afraid, huh?! You just wait! I’ll make sure you won’t want to be the county chief anymore, you’ll be longing for jail time! Just you wait! Stupid woman!” After mouthing off, Han Jiazhen, as if he was the thief himself, hurriedly left the county chief’s office in a fluster. After Han Jiazhen left, Xiao Yanzi slumped down in her chair, looking much wearier. After thinking it over, she took out her phone and called her sister, Xiao Yanzhu. Whenever she felt fragile and exhausted, she could only speak her true feelings to her sister. Three days later, Liu Hun got the materials he wanted, and Wang Mei, along with Secretary Zhou, took the money and flew far away. Just as Liu Hun was pondering how to deal with Li Tianyang and completely clear out all the stumbling blocks in Anchang County, he received a message from Xiao Yanzhu. To his surprise, the message from Xiao Yanzhu wasn’t about the industrial upgrades in several villages, but rather the difficulties her sister, Xiao Yanzi, had encountered. Xiao Yanzhu and her sister, Xiao Yanzi, were entirely different types of people. Xiao Yanzhu had always been in academic research institutions and hospitals, and had only been promoted to associate dean because of her exceptional medical skills, not for any other reason; her ascension to the position of dean was also a complete accident. In short, she was a gentle and reserved woman. So, when she encountered her sister, Xiao Yanzi, drunkenly complaining and spouting words that shattered her worldviews, Xiao Yanzhu was completely at a loss, especially when she heard Xiao Yanzi’s drunken babble about not being able to buy such a luxurious villa without paying for it. Xiao Yanzhu was on the verge of rolling her eyes. Feeling utterly helpless, Xiao Yanzhu had no choice but to tell Liu Hun everything, hoping he could help. After much thought, Liu Hun decided to go find Xiao Yanzi. He believed that if his judgment was correct, Han Jiazhen’s coercion had failed, and they could only hand over the materials to Li Tianyang in exchange for a promotion in his career. Since the dirt on Li Tianyang was currently in his hands, he should be able to make a deal with Li Tianyang to protect Xiao Yanzi. As for dealing with Li Tianyang, that would have to wait for another time. Upon arriving at Xiao Yanzi’s villa, Liu Hun finally realized where her villa had come from. He had been there once before and rang the doorbell as if it were familiar territory. “Clang!” With that sound, as soon as the door opened, a strong smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of jasmine perfume hit Liu Hun in the face. Liu Hun quickly reached out to catch the disheveled woman in a silk nightgown, who giggled stupidly at him and said, “Liu Hun, you’re here? My sister... my sister is drunk... blah...” As Xiao Yanzhu spoke, she suddenly felt her stomach churn and, opening her mouth, immediately vomited. Liu Hun, holding her, quickly bent his legs to dodge, but still got some mess on his shoes. Fortunately, Xiao Yanzhu was not in serious trouble. These sisters, really! Liu Hun sighed internally, took out a hand towel to clean Xiao Yanzhu a bit, then carried the nonsense-talking Xiao Yanzhu into the house. As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Yanzi sleeping soundly on the sofa, dressed in the same nightgown as Xiao Yanzhu. One strap of the nightgown had slipped down, revealing a large expanse of pale skin that could make anyone’s heart race. Liu Hun laid Xiao Yanzhu on the couch, making her comfortable, before rushing to the bathroom to clean the mess off his shoes. If it hadn’t been for his first visit to this bathroom with Chen Qiuya, where they even caught Xiao Yanzi in a stunning moment, Liu Hun would have had a hard time locating it. It took Liu Hun quite a while to clean his shoes. Just as he was about to leave the bathroom, suddenly, there was a softness behind him, and a pair of tender arms encircled his waist, a soft body pressing tightly against his back. “Yanzhu, now... your sister is still outside,” Liu Hun’s body stiffened slightly. Ever since he had made a spectacle of Lv Zhengsong at Imperial University, he understood Xiao Yanzhu’s feelings. It was disingenuous to say he wasn’t moved by such a gentle and peaceful woman. But in Xiao Yanzi’s house, it always felt a bit strange. “Mm, let me hold you for a while,” Xiao Yanzhu said as she hugged Liu Hun, her voice as gentle as ever. Liu Hun initially thought that hugging him would make Xiao Yanzhu feel better due to the pressure she was under, but unexpectedly, in less than a minute, Xiao Yanzhu slowly changed her position, wriggling into his arms, and then wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’m so tired, so lonely, and a bit cold,” Xiao Yanzhu said to Liu Hun after burrowing into his embrace. Liu Hun thought he had seen through Xiao Yanzhu’s heart, but he didn’t expect her to utter such surprising words at this moment. Ah, the heart of a woman is like a needle at the bottom of the sea! Liu Hun couldn’t help sighing, about to suggest that Xiao Yanzhu rest, when suddenly he saw her face coming closer to his. Her eyes were hazy from slight intoxication, her lips sensual and full, her facial features exquisitely beautiful, and her body exuded a strong scent of red wine. Everything was gradually eroding Liu Hun’s rationality. “Kiss me, kiss me gently,” Xiao Yanzhu whispered, pressing her lips against Liu Hun’s. Her lips were so cold! Could it be that Yanzhu’s heart wasn’t as she had previously shown? As Liu Hun felt Xiao Yanzhu’s icy lips, his heart was suddenly seized by pain. He hadn’t realized how much she had endured on her own until now when it had bubbled to the surface. With that thought, Liu Hun couldn’t resist pulling Xiao Yanzhu close into his embrace, giving her a tender and emotional kiss. This time, there was no unleashed desire, no wild abandon, and it wasn’t a fiery passion. Instead, it was a deep affection filled with tenderness, as if to warm and soothe the woman in his arms, who in turn gave Liu Hun a shivering, profound response filled with love. Lying in the bathtub, Xiao Yanzhu contentedly snuggled against Liu Hun’s broad chest. Suddenly she looked up at him and said, “I want to hear you call me, call me once more.”
