In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong

Upon hearing this, Tang Chuchu took Chen Hai's hands and held them.

"District Chief Chen, changing schools has already troubled you a lot. I really can't let you go through any more trouble."

Chen Hai's body trembled slightly.

"Um...this...um..."

"District Chief Chen, what are you trying to say?"

"Oh, it's like this. I noticed that the place Miss Tang is currently living in is quite old and dilapidated, and it's also a bit far from Jingzhou No. 1 Primary School. How about this, I'll arrange a place for you to stay? That way, you won't have to worry about those debt collectors coming to your door again."

Tang Chuchu shook her head upon hearing this.

"District Chief Chen, I appreciate your kindness, but I really have no money right now. I'm already grateful to be able to stay here."

"What kind of question is this?"

Chen Hai stared at Tang Chuchu, then said, "I have an apartment in Guangming District. I rarely live there since my divorce from my ex-wife. How about you and your son move in with me?"

"This……"

"Ms. Tang, don't worry. Here's the arrangement: my parents are getting old and their health isn't what it used to be, so the task of picking up and dropping off the kids will fall to you. I'm busy with work anyway, so you can help with their homework and such. Consider this payment as payment for the rent, how about it?"

"I……"

"Stop hesitating, it's settled then!"

Chen Hai made the decision very quickly.

Before parting, Chen Hai gave some special instructions.

"Miss Tang, please pack your things tonight. I'll drive to pick you and your child up tomorrow."

Before Chen Hai could leave, Tang Chuchu suddenly hugged him.

For a moment, Chen Hai was dumbfounded.

The primordial power within his body surged wildly.

"District Chief Chen, thank you, you're a good person!"

"You don't know, during this time no one was willing to help my son and me. We had to hide and run away. I really don't know how to thank you!"

Chen Hai mustered his courage and patted Tang Chuchu's smooth and delicate back to comfort her, saying, "It's all in the past. If you have any difficulties in the future, come to me. It's all about serving the people!"

"Ok!"

Tang Chuchu nodded emphatically, and the two separated a minute later.

Chen Hai awkwardly turned around, looked down at the little tent he had set up, and felt a surge of excitement.

Even after going downstairs and getting into his car, Chen Hai's mind was still filled with Tang Chuchu's alluring image.

Tang Chuchu stood on the balcony, watching Chen Hai drive away before giving a seductive smile.

"One Cai Chenggong left, and another District Chief Chen came along. Tsk tsk tsk, Tang Chuchu, Tang Chuchu, you're really lucky. A deputy director-level cadre, if only you could seize the opportunity..."

Thinking of this, Tang Chuchu closed her eyes, already having a plan in mind.

Chen Hai was absent-minded all night, and when he woke up in the morning, he realized the sheets needed to be changed...

After quickly washing up, Chen Hai couldn't wait to put on his best clothes, drive off in his car, and set off.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the old, dilapidated house where Tang Chuchu lived.

I climbed up to the sixth floor in one go.

The moment the door opened, a very well-behaved and adorable little boy took Chen Hai's hand.

"Uncle Chen, hello, my name is Cai Cai, thank you for finding me a new school!"

Chen Hai was stunned for a moment, then patted Cai Cai's head.

"You're such a good kid!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hai's gaze fell on Tang Chuchu, who was packing her things and carrying a large bag as she walked out of the bedroom.

"Miss Tang, let me help you!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Chuchu accidentally dropped the bag in her hand, spilling the clothes inside.

Chen Hai hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up.

But as soon as Chen Hai saw the clothes on the ground, his face turned red. They were all lace, kawaii and other styles of underwear. Just then, Tang Chuchu spoke up and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Hai!"

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Chen Hai gripped the small clothes on the ground, feeling incredibly hot. After finally picking them all up and putting them in a bag, Tang Chuchu came to him with wet wipes and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Hai-ge, you've worked hard. Climbing up six floors in one go must be quite tiring."

Feeling the other person's gentleness, Chen Hai realized that he had truly fallen deeply in love.

That gentleness, that beauty, that thoughtfulness—isn't this Chen Hai's dream goddess?

"Thank you, Miss Tang."

"Brother Hai, you're too kind. Just call me Chuchu."

"Uh, okay, thank you, Chuchu."

"No need to thank me, Brother Hai."

Seeing this, Cai Cai couldn't help but secretly give her mother a thumbs up. She still had a lot to learn from her mother's acting skills!

Chen Hai carried all the luggage downstairs by himself, and Tang Chuchu carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead after he finished.

It's normal for fingertips to inadvertently brush against Chen Hai's face during this time, and it's even normal for an index finger to accidentally land on Chen Hai's lips while wiping his cheek.

Chen Hai felt itchy all over.

Half an hour later, Chen Hai slowly parked his car downstairs at Jiangnan Jiadi, a fairly nice residential complex in Guangming District.

This is the house he bought, in the same place as Lu Yike's, even in the same building.

The reason... of course, is that Lu Yike was a naive and love-struck fool back then.

After getting off the car, Chen Hai carried the mother and son's belongings and led them up the elevator.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, someone else arrived, and the doors were immediately opened.

The people who entered the elevator were none other than Lu Yike and Liu Mingyu.

The moment their eyes met, an awkward silence fell.

"Ahem, District Chief Chen, we meet again."

Lu Yike didn't speak, but Liu Mingyu greeted her.

Chen Hai nodded awkwardly and asked.

"Director Liu lives here too?"

"Yes, I'm living with Yike."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hai felt nothing at all; his heart had unknowingly been occupied by a woman named Tang Chuchu.

"By the way, District Chief Chen, what's this all about?"

Liu Mingyu glanced at what Chen Hai was holding, then at Tang Chuchu and Cai Cai standing close by, his gossipy nature becoming increasingly irrepressible.

Before Chen Hai could even speak, Tang Chuchu, who was standing to the side, began to explain with a smile.

“I am Hai Ge’s friend. We’ve run into some trouble, and Hai Ge is willing to let my son and me come here to avoid this situation.”

Liu Mingyu clearly didn't believe this explanation.

However, there's no need to ask if you're not close to the person.

After the elevator doors opened, Liu Mingyu and Lu Yike left hand in hand, leaving only Chen Hai, Tang Chuchu, and Cai Cai.

Chapter 142: The Showdown Between T0

Upon entering the house, Chen Hai found that his apartment was of a decent size.

Three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom.

Tang Chuchu looked very carefully. Although it was not as good as Cai Chenggong's villa, there was a saying that went something like, "This humble abode is fragrant because of my virtue." This large three-story house was occupied by the district chief of Guangming District, which meant that fame would come from the presence of a dragon!

"Brother Hai, thank you so much, I... I don't know how to repay you..."

"These are all minor matters, why bring them up?"

Chen Hai couldn't resist the urge to gaze at Tang Chuchu with affection.

Is he, the former head of the anti-corruption bureau and now the head of Guangming District, stupid? Actually, he's not.

You could say he lacks political acumen, but he was fully aware of Tang Chuchu's advances.

One was driven by insatiable hunger, the other by opportunism; Chen Hai's sense of justice and his unwavering principles were being eroded little by little.

The night was enchanting. The three-bedroom apartment had Chen Hai's room in the master bedroom, Tang Chuchu in the second bedroom, and Cai Cai in the children's room.

Dinner was cooked by Tang Chuchu, and it must be said that her cooking skills were excellent; Chen Hai was already quite fond of it.

Chen Hai's phone rang while he was eating.

The call was from Chen Yanshi.

"Hey, Dad."

"Hai Zi, it's been an hour since you got off work, why aren't you back yet? We're waiting for you to come home for dinner."

Chen Hai looked at the bowl full of food that Tang Chuchu had filled, and he already had his answer.

"Dad, you guys eat. I still have some work to do in the district, so I won't be back tonight."

After saying that, Chen Hai hung up the phone before Chen Yanshi could ask any further questions.

At 10 p.m., Chen Hai lay in bed staring at the ceiling, feeling hot all over.

Just as Chen Hai was in a daze, his bedroom door was quietly pushed open, and a curvaceous figure slowly walked into his master bedroom, then groped her way onto the bed.

Dry wood catches fire easily when it meets a raging flame.

The next morning, Chen Hai stepped out of his house, looking incredibly energetic and radiant.

Upon arriving in the district, Chen Hai went straight to the Guangming branch of the Public Security Bureau.
