Please, mature women, have some self-respect. I just want a raise and a promotion.

After touching Lin Zheng.

Lin Lanxin's hands were trembling.

The women in the office were right, Lin Zheng is really amazing.

She admired it for quite a while.

It was put back.

Lin Zheng was a little disappointed. He thought Lin Lanxin would take the opportunity to continue, but he didn't expect her to just admire it for a while.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset, thinking that Lin Lanxin would do it again if she did it once.

Her eyes just now clearly showed that she wanted to, but she was still a little hesitant.

Given the right opportunity, something will inevitably happen between us sooner or later.

"Team Leader Lin, you are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened today," Lin Lanxin instructed, her face flushed.

"Don't worry, Mayor, I'll keep what happened today to myself," Lin Zheng nodded.

The two chatted for a while until it was time to leave work. Lin Zheng, still unwilling to give up, wanted to ask Lin Lanxin out for dinner, but Lin Lanxin refused.

After leaving the town government, Lin Zheng planned to find a place to grab a bite to eat, but the phone in his pocket rang as soon as he got into the car.

Lin Zheng picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number. He didn't answer and hung up immediately.

But as soon as I put down my phone, it rang again.

Lin Zheng frowned and answered the call.

"Hello Team Leader Lin, this is Chen Lianghai. Is it a convenient time for us to come out and talk?"

Chen Lianghai?

Lin Zheng was stunned when he heard the name.

How did Chen Lianghai get his phone number? Was it Yang Dong's doing?

If Yang Dong was behind this, what does it mean that Chen Lianghai called to talk about it?

Completely bewildered, Lin Zheng stood there for a good ten seconds before finally coming to his senses and saying, "Director Chen, it's convenient for me. Where would you like to meet me?"

What is meant to be will be, and what is meant to be will be. Since it has happened, running away won't solve the problem; we have to face it, whether it's good or bad.

"Come to room 303 of the Beijing Hotel."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and then drove off.

Forty minutes later, Lin Zheng entered the private room, where Chen Lianghai had already prepared a sumptuous feast and was waiting for him.

"Team Leader Lin, I'm so sorry to have bothered you to come out. Please have something to eat."

Lin Zheng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly opposite Chen Lianghai.

Chen Lianghai poured Lin Zheng a glass of Wuliangye liquor and then gestured for him to start eating.

Lin Zheng knew that Chen Lianghai had something to say, but since he didn't speak, Lin Zheng pretended not to know.

The two ate and drank, and soon an hour had passed.

The two bottles of Wuliangye on the table were empty, and Chen Lianghai's face was as red as a monkey's bottom.

He took out a 100-yuan pack of He Tianxia cigarettes, opened it, gave one to Lin Zheng, and lit one for himself.

After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, Chen Lianghai's gaze met Lin Zheng's.

"Team Leader Lin, what grudge do I have against you?"

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire room froze.

Lin Zheng held the cigarette in his hand, unsure how to respond.

He took a deep breath and observed Chen Lianghai's expression. Seeing that Chen Lianghai was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The Bureau of Justice was someone he was trying to win over; if things went wrong, all his previous efforts would be for nothing.

"Director Chen, how can you say that?"

"How can we drink together if we have a grudge?"

Lin Zheng did not ask Chen Lianghai the reason, but instead subtly hinted that Chen Lianghai should explain it himself.

"You're right, I guess you, Team Leader Lin, aren't the kind of person who would do that kind of thing."

"Director Chen, did you hear something about me?" Lin Zheng continued to ask.

"It wasn't that I heard anything about Team Leader Lin, but someone told me that you instructed him to do this," Chen Lianghai said.

Hearing this, Lin Zheng cursed inwardly, already guessing that Yang Dong was behind it.

Still unclear about what Yang Dong had said, he continued to feign ignorance, saying, "Director Chen, we've only just met today, we have no grudges against each other. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble for myself to send someone to cause you trouble?"

"Think about it, as an outsider trying to gain a foothold in Tianhe Town, I'm too busy trying to win you over to do something like this."

After listening carefully, Chen Lianghai realized that this was indeed the case.

It's illogical that Yang Dong would use something against Lin Zheng when he had no grudge against him.

Thinking of this, Chen Lianghai said, "Team Leader Lin, you're right. I was tricked by that bastard Yang Dong. He set up a scheme to get information out of me, saying he wanted you to support him, so I suspected that you were the one pulling the strings behind the scenes."

Damn it, Yang Dong, he's playing dirty tricks on me, trying to use Chen Lianghai to deal with him.

If Chen Lianghai takes this to heart and doesn't meet with him to discuss the matter, then he and Chen Lianghai could very well become adversaries.

Thinking of this, Lin Zheng said, "Director Chen, is it possible that Yang Dong set us up to fight?"

Chen Lianghai nodded and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking, which is why I asked you to come out."

"But there's one thing I don't understand. He doesn't benefit from fighting us, so why is he doing this?"

"Is it possible that he was also acting under someone's orders?" Lin Zheng asked.

"You mean Tan Huafeng?" Chen Lianghai asked.

"I'm not sure about that, but this is the most likely possibility at the moment."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lianghai's eyes flickered.

"Team Leader Lin, how about we team up?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng immediately became interested.

"Director Chen, what kind of cooperation do you want to pursue?"

"If you help me get back the leverage Yang Dong has over me, I will always stand with you and Mayor Lin."

Hearing this, Lin Zheng was overjoyed, but he pretended to be embarrassed.

If she agreed too readily, it would arouse Chen Lianghai's suspicion.

"Director Chen, this is a bit difficult."

"Yang Dongming is clearly trying to get me, how could I possibly help you get back some leverage?"

Chen Lianghai stared at Lin Zheng for a long time before finally laughing.

"I believe you can do it. As long as you help me get back the leverage, I can give you another big gift, which is about Tan Huafeng."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng was secretly delighted, but he still pretended to be considering it.

After putting on a good show, he finally spoke, "Director Chen, what leverage does Yang Dong have over you? I need to know so I can get it back."

"This…"

After hesitating for a while, Chen Lianghai finally gritted his teeth and told Yang Dong about how he had been tricked into playing with women and had been filmed.

"Okay, Director Chen, give me three days, and I will definitely get the video back for you."

Chen Lianghai handed cigarettes to Lin Zhenggen, saying, "As long as you can get the video back, the Justice Bureau will listen to you from now on."

Lin Zheng took the cigarette, took a few puffs, and then said, "Director Chen, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

"Don't worry about whether it's appropriate or not, just say what you want to say."

"I can say that, but you promise not to get angry," Lin Zheng said.

Chen Lianghai frowned: "What exactly is it, Team Leader Lin? Why are you being so long-winded?"

"What storms haven't I, Chen Lianghai, weathered? Just tell me what's on your mind, and I'll definitely not get angry."

"Alright, since Director Chen has put it that way, then I'll say it."

Lin Zheng paused deliberately at this point.

"I heard rumors in the office that someone said your son is Yang Dong's."

As he finished speaking, Lin Zheng looked at Chen Lianghai's increasingly heated face and knew that Yang Dong was about to be completely crushed.

It's not fair to blame him for breaking his promise; it was Yang Dongxian who betrayed his promise first and tried to use someone else to do his dirty work.

Since Yang Dong started it all, then don't blame him for starting it all the next.
