33: Chapter 33: He Lili’s Secret Invitation!

Bai Jinse called Xu Qianli out of the study urgently and took him to the garden.

Along the way, while walking, she asked, “Brother Xu, what did my sister and you talk about just now?”

“Oh, nothing much,” said Xu Qianli, “she just told me to be brave and confident, to just keep hanging out with you all, and that if you and Zi Ning bully me in the future, she’ll have my back.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinse suddenly became displeased, and her lips quickly pouted.

“She really–to think, someone who didn’t know might think I’m an outsider.”

Xu Qianli kept looking at her; the girl was already beautiful, but with her lips pouted, she looked even more adorable–it was enticingly captivating.

As he watched, Xu Qianli felt a moment of unreality, fearing it was an illusion, and subconsciously grabbed Bai Jinse’s small hand.

Mmm, it was real, truly in his grip, and definitely not an illusion!

Her hand suddenly grasped by Xu Qianli, feeling the warmth of his large hand, Bai Jinse blushed with shyness, too embarrassed to even look at Xu Qianli, her demeanor submissive.

“Jinse, Brother Xu, you’ve finally come.”

Suddenly, Zi Ning’s voice came from deeper in the garden, waving at them.

Bai Jinse subconsciously withdrew her hand and hurried over, turning back to give Xu Qianli a beaming smile and a wave.

“Brother Xu, hurry up, we have prepared something fun.”

Watching the girl’s bright youthful smile, just twenty years old, Xu Qianli felt as if he had returned to his college days, as if he were seeing his beautiful first love who he had met and loved and then parted ways with.

Just the thought of that beautiful woman made Xu Qianli’s heart sour.

A few days ago, his breakup with Xu Shuman had hurt him, but it was nowhere near one-tenth of the pain his first love had caused him.

He didn’t even know where she had gone after graduation, how she was now.

Shaking his head, Xu Qianli cast aside the shadow of that woman and busied himself with the two young girls, only to find that the so-called fun was a chessboard.

Xu Qianli believed his chess skills were not too shabby and, on form, he beat the two girls soundly, leading them to chide him for being too fierce, for not knowing how to go easy on the fairer sex.

He stayed at Yunding Villa until almost ten at night before leaving.

His phone now had three additional numbers: those of the sisters Bai Yanran and Bai Jinse, and Zi Ning.

Driving away from Yunding Villa, Xu Qianli glanced in the rear-view mirror.

What had just happened seemed like a dream, too surreal.

Just as he was thinking about where to go next, his phone rang.

The message was from He Lili, the stunning beauty.

“Regent Hotel, room 608, don’t be late.”

Xu Qianli smiled faintly; He Lili, the gorgeous woman, was really impatient.

Having not been with him the previous night, she had sent another invitation tonight, and it was to the room where he had slept with Lan Qianrong last night.

Initially, Xu Qianli was somewhat reluctant at the thought of getting involved with He Lili.

But as soon as he thought of that bastard, Zeng Changyun, who had dug a big pit for him to jump into, nearly getting him killed, Xu Qianli’s mindset completely changed.

He stepped on the gas and headed straight for Zhongzhou City.

…

In a private club in Jiang City, Zhang Kuisan and his confidant, County Bureau Chief Li Weiguo, were having a jolly time in a private room, each holding a lovely woman with a delightful figure dressed in cool attire, drinking and making merry.

With wine in hand and beauties in arms, they should have been very happy, yet Li Weiguo looked extremely unhappy, preoccupied with his own thoughts.

Zhang Kuisan said, “I say, Weiguo, what’s the matter with you?

We’re out to have fun, and you look so distracted.

What’s wrong?”

Downing his glass of wine in one gulp, Li Weiguo slammed the glass onto the table and began to complain bitterly.

“What else could it be?

It’s all because of that bastard Wu Kai stirring up trouble!”

“I originally demoted that guy, but who knew he’d be so defiant, finding Xu Qianli to back him up, easily regaining his position, and severely slapping my face, humiliating me in the process.”

“Not only that, but today he kept stirring trouble at the station, grabbing hold of the criminal police team, adamantly talking about wanting to clean up the ranks, saying we can’t let a few bad apples sneak in, obviously throwing shade at me.”

“County Magistrate Zhang, do you think I can swallow this insult?”

Every time Li Weiguo mentioned Wu Kai, he was filled with rage.

The county bureau was his territory, yet there was Wu Kai, a thorn in his side, constantly going against him on his own ground.

It was a wonder he could stay comfortable.

When it came to Wu Kai, Zhang Kuisan dismissed him with disdain.

“He’s nothing but a small fry.

If it weren’t for Xu Qianli backing him, he couldn’t cause any trouble at all.”

“As long as we take down Xu Qianli, that guy will lose his backing, and then he’ll be nothing.”

“Right now, we need to figure out a way to deal with Xu Qianli first!”

Li Weiguo said, “County Magistrate Zhang is very perceptive, you’re absolutely right.

The most troublesome right now is Xu Qianli.

But how do we deal with him?

He might have something on us, it’s not easy to just take care of him.”

“Looking for faults just to take him down won’t work, of course.”

“But if he makes a significant mistake in his duties, can we not act against him?”

said Zhang Kuisan.

Hearing this, Li Weiguo’s eyes lit up, “Are you suggesting, County Magistrate Zhang, that you have a plan?”

“Well,”

Zhang Kuisan hesitated to speak, his face showing a profound and mysterious expression as he raised his glass.

“I do indeed have a plan, one that will ensure that kid gets what’s coming to him.”

“As for the specifics, if I tell you, it won’t work anymore.”

“Just wait and see.

Tomorrow morning, watch the scene I’ve prepared for Xu Qianli.

Let’s see if he can handle it!”

“Come, let’s drink.

Let’s really enjoy ourselves tonight.”

After a glass of wine, Zhang Kuisan began nibbling at the beautiful face of the beauty in his arms, then immediately pressed her down on the sofa, rudely tearing off the scant fabric on her body, and moved on top of her.

…

Xu Qianli drove at high speed through the night and finally made it to Zhongzhou City, almost reaching the Regent Hotel.

As he passed through a brightly lit night market street, he suddenly noticed a conflict erupting by the roadside.

At a fleeting glance, Xu Qianli recognized someone familiar in the crowd!

He Caixia, the daughter of the old County Magistrate!

Seeing He Caixia’s figure, Xu Qianli slammed on the brakes.

Looking closely, he realized that the group by the roadside indeed included He Caixia.

Not just He Caixia, but also her husband, Liu Jian.

Liu Jian was being pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by a few burly men, crying out for mercy.

He Caixia was being held down by two burly men, bent over a plastic table, while a man with dyed red hair ignored her pleas, pulled up her skirt, and busily unbuckled his belt.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qianli felt a surge of rage, and without thinking, he rushed out of the car, charging at them.

Taking advantage of the group’s unpreparedness, Xu Qianli launched a fierce kick at the red-haired man who had his pants down and was about to assault He Caixia.

Accompanied by a pig-like scream, the red-haired man was sent tumbling to the ground.

He Caixia, who had almost given up hope, saw Xu Qianli, and her eyes suddenly shone with a strange light, “Xu Qianli, please save me!”
