"I have evidence."

Chen Fang spoke decisively.

Then he continued, "Secretary Zhou, please call Deputy Mayor Yang Xi and ask her to come here. I will show you my evidence."

Although Zhou Jingyan felt that Chen Fang's words were nonsense.

After some hesitation.

Zhou Jingyan still complied.

She picked up the phone on her desk and dialed Yang Xi's office.

About ten minutes later.

There was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

Zhou Jingyan called out.

The door was pushed open.

Yang Xi, in formal attire, walked in, "Secretary Zhou, you were looking for me..."

She had just finished greeting.

Yang Xi froze for a moment, completely not expecting Chen Fang to be inside the room.

"Close the door."

Zhou Jingyan ordered.

The confused Yang Xi complied.

Once the door was closed.

Chen Fang said coldly, "Mayor Yang, shall we talk in front of Secretary Zhou?"

Yang Xi was well aware of her relationship with Chen Fang, and his sudden change in tone naturally made her nervous.

"Talk about what?"

She swallowed and asked.

Chen Fang took a deep breath.

He stood up.

Walked straight to Yang Xi and said, "Mayor Yang, as far as I can tell, we've known each other for many years, starting from when we were at the Party School of the Provincial Committee, right?"

"Yes..."

Yang Xi nodded.

Chen Fang continued self-assuredly, "In my memory, Mayor Yang was a righteous and kind leader. I never imagined that you would become like this today. Don't you know that such a huge incident in Yinjiang County could cost many innocent lives?"

It was like being struck by lightning.

Yang Xi was stunned.

She steadied herself and said, "Mayor Chen, what are you talking about? I don't understand?"

Just as Zhou Jingyan was about to interject.

Chen Fang quickly said, "Last night, you leaked my whereabouts to others, didn't you? I already asked Gao Younan. It was only you who inquired about me from him. He considered you one of his own, so he candidly shared my whereabouts, and yet you betrayed me?"

He paused and continued, "Yang Xi, to be honest, I've been suspecting you for quite some time. Do you remember when I first arrived in Rongjiang City, you came to my office and we had relations?"

As soon as this was uttered.

Zhou Jingyan's eyes widened immediately.

What does that mean?

Chen Fang actually confessed to having an inappropriate relationship with Yang Xi?

Even Yang Xi's mouth gaped open, too frightened to utter a sound.

"That time, I noticed you had completely removed your body hair. Have you forgotten that you once told me you could never accept complete hair removal? It was then that I felt you were no longer the Yang Xi I knew."

"Do you think Gao Younan is really that foolish as to inform you about such a highly confidential operation? No! I had already instructed him that if you inquired about my operation, he should tell you the truth, because I wanted to test my assumptions about you!"

These words.

Chen Fang spoke with a heavy tone.

And after saying them.

He pulled up a message on his phone.

This message was sent by Chen Fang to Gao Younan before the operation yesterday, stating that if any acquaintance inquired about his secret operation, they should be truthfully informed.

Although Ye Ziyin was lost.

This allowed him to fish out another big threat lurking around.

Which was another sort of gain.

All of a sudden.

This time, Yang Xi was dumbfounded.

Her earlier defiance turned into panic.

Zhou Jingyan wasn't a fool.

Seeing her reaction, he immediately sensed something.

He stood up sharply and shouted, "Comrade Yang Xi, what exactly is going on?"

Yang Xi's eyes instantly welled up, and she stumbled, nearly losing her balance.

If Chen Fang hadn't been quick to react.

She might have collapsed to the ground by now.

"I... I didn't want to hurt anyone... I... I had no choice, they... they took my child, I had to... had to do as they said..."

Choking on her words.

Yang Xi managed to say this.

"Child? What child?"

Chen Fang asked in astonishment.

The reason for his question.

Was because Chen Fang knew very well that due to their "photo scandal," Yang Xi had already divorced her husband.

She hadn't remarried thereafter.

In her thirties, she was not only single but had never given birth, so where did this so-called child come from?

At this moment, Yang Xi.

Looked at Chen Fang with somewhat resentful eyes.

Chen Fang suddenly froze.

Shocked, he said, "Could it be..."

He didn't finish the question.

Yet Yang Xi nodded, affirming Chen Fang's guess.

At that moment.

Chen Fang's mind was in chaos.

He never imagined that Yang Xi was coerced into doing such things.

And the coercion came from their child.

A sudden thought crossed his mind, recalling that two years ago, Yang Xi took a year off under the pretext of research before transferring to Rongjiang City as deputy mayor. Could that gap be when she gave birth?

Was that child his own?

"Who are 'they' you mentioned?"

Taking a sharp breath.

Chen Fang asked.

Yang Xi stood upright.

Wiped her tears.

Glanced at Zhou Jingyan, gathered her courage, and said, "The Chairman of Yong'an Province Port Group—Zhang Bangqi."

"Who did you say? Zhang Bangqi?"

The first to cry out wasn't Chen Fang.

But Zhou Jingyan.

Because the name Zhang Bangqi was very familiar to both Chen Fang and Zhou Jingyan.

Who was Zhang Bangqi?

Years ago, when Jiang Chuo was serving as Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee in Yong'an Province, Zhang Bangqi was his secretary.

Later, when Jiang Chuo was sidelined,

Zhang Bangqi experienced a period of stagnation at the Provincial Committee.

Until Jiang Chuo returned to prominence,

Zhang Bangqi's career surged, and he was transferred to Yong'an Province Port Group as the Deputy Chairman.

After Jiang Chuo returned to Yong'an Province.

Zhang Bangqi then had the opportunity to become the Chairman of the Port Group.

And steered this provincial-level state enterprise.

As Jiang Chuo's main follower.

It wasn't surprising that Zhou Jingyan knew Zhang Bangqi.

Chen Fang had also interacted with him and was naturally familiar.

"Yes, it's him, he is the Immortal Leader of the Heavenly Appearance Sect in Yong'an Province."

Yang Xi's words.

Shattered Chen Fang and Zhou Jingyan's worldview.

It wouldn't be exaggerated to say.

At that moment.

Both of them stopped breathing.

Who could have thought that a provincial-level chairman of a state enterprise would be the leader of a cult organization in Yong'an Province, it was simply unbelievable.

"What is he planning to do?"

Chen Fang took a deep breath, suppressing his pounding heart and asked.

Yang Xi paused and said, "I don't know, but I know he isn't planning alone. Behind him is another enormous force—the Hou Family, one of the three major families back then."
