The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 368: The Child is Chen Bin’s!
Chapter 368: Chapter 368: The Child is Chen Bin’s!
In early December, Cao Sanjin left Tianhai and was transferred to the National People’s Congress Finance and Economic Committee as a member.
This is a thoroughly idle position.
It seems that Cao Sanjin’s career path has almost come to an end.
Shortly after, Fu Hongtu took over the role of Tianhai Municipal Committee Secretary.
Not long after, Governor Zeng Pengchao replaced the Yanxi Provincial Committee Secretary.
Feng Huzhou was appointed as Yanxi Provincial Committee Deputy Secretary, acting Governor.
Sure enough, everything was developing as anticipated.
When Feng Huzhou returned to the frontline, he attracted countless people trying to curry favor.
Now that he’s become Governor, the number of people coming to congratulate him is endless, including Ye Hong.
"Governor Feng, congratulations on your promotion. This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it with a smile."
As he spoke, Ye Hong gently placed a porcelain piece on the desk.
Along with it was an auction catalog.
Feng Huzhou immediately understood the implication and smiled as he asked.
"How have you been after leaving Dragon Mountain County?"
Sighing, Ye Hong’s face was filled with despondency.
"If an official doesn’t have power, then they’re no different from ordinary citizens. I’m currently in such a state."
He was used to being domineering in Dragon Mountain, so transitioning to an idle position suddenly was very uncomfortable for him.
Feng Huzhou didn’t respond and merely picked up his water glass and took a sip.
At this moment, Ye Hong continued to speak.
"That kid Chen Bin used to rely on Cao Sanjin to misbehave, but now that Cao Sanjin has fallen, if I return to Dragon Mountain, he definitely won’t be my match!"
Setting down the water glass, Feng Huzhou asked with interest.
"Chen Bin is now the secretary of the County Committee in Dragon Mountain, are you sure you can still compete with him if you return?"
"Competing is impossible, but I have leverage against him. If he brought me down, I won’t let him have it easy either!" frёewebηovel.cѳm
"What leverage? Let’s hear it."
"Governor Feng, if I tell you, can you pull some strings for me in the political arena?"
After a brief thought, Feng Huzhou eventually nodded.
"If your leverage can truly bring Chen Bin down, then before your retirement, I can at least promote you to a deputy department head with real duties."
This prospect left Ye Hong both amazed and delighted.
"My gosh, really?"
His original idea was to simply be reinstated, but according to Feng Huzhou’s suggestion, he could even go further.
"Do you think I need to deceive you?"
Seeing Feng Huzhou’s unpleasant expression, Ye Hong quickly explained.
"Governor Feng, don’t laugh at me when I say this, but my daughter-in-law Cai Lixia had a child with Chen Bin!"
Eyes widening, Feng Huzhou asked with excitement.
"Are you saying this is true?"
"Of course, it’s true! Cai Lixia gave birth not long ago, and Chen Bin even went to the hospital to see her! Plus, my son also stated that Cai Lixia personally admitted that the child is Chen Bin’s!"
A slight smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Feng Huzhou’s eyes were filled with cunning.
"Chen Bin used your scandal of having an illegitimate child to drive you out of Dragon Mountain County. He probably never imagined that he would stumble over the same issue!"
Actually, after Feng Huzhou became Governor, Xiong Wubing mentioned that the first thing to do was to bring down Chen Bin.
He wanted to take action, but he couldn’t directly decide the political fate of a County Committee Secretary, bypassing the Tianhai Municipal Committee and government.
However, considering it carefully, now the Tianhai Municipal Committee Secretary is Fu Hongtu, who has no connection to Chen Bin.
If there’s solid evidence, even if Fu Hongtu wants to help, he would be helpless.
This time, Chen Bin’s political career will definitely end!
The afternoon of the next day, Chen Bin was working in his office when the phone on his desk suddenly rang.
As soon as he picked up the handset, Fu Hongtu’s stern voice came through.
"Now, drop everything and come to the Municipal Committee at once!"
"Secretary Fu, may I ask..."
Before Chen Bin could finish speaking, the phone was already hung up.
Driving to Tianhai, his mind was full of questions, unsure of what was happening.
Upon arriving and walking into Fu Hongtu’s office, Chen Bin discovered
After reaching the Tianhai Municipal Committee and entering Fu Hongtu’s office, Chen Bin found that Disciplinary Committee Secretary Deng Jiabao was also there.
In that instant, a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.
Nonetheless, Chen Bin maintained a calm demeanor and greeted them both.
"Secretary Fu, Secretary Deng."
Fu Hongtu, with a cold face, asked first, "Do you know why I asked you to come over?"
"I don’t know."
Seeing that Chen Bin remained unfazed, Deng Jiabao proactively asked.
"Ye Hong has filed a real-name report accusing you of having issues with your lifestyle, engaging in an improper relationship with his daughter-in-law, who is also the Women’s Federation Chair in your Dragon Mountain County, Cai Lixia! Cai Lixia even had a child with you. How do you explain this?"
"This is utterly false; it’s impossible!"
Fu Hongtu and Deng Jiabao exchanged glances, with a hint of displeasure on their faces.
"You’d better tell the truth! If your attitude is good in admitting your mistakes, the organization might consider leniency. If you conceal and continue to err, then the problem will be severe!"
In the face of the threat, although Chen Bin was full of panic inside, he still maintained a normal expression.
"Thank you for the reminder, but my relationship with Cai Lixia has always been just that of colleagues. We hardly meet, let alone have any relationship. As for having a child, it’s utterly baseless!"
Seeing this, Deng Jiabao reminded once more.
"You better think clearly before you speak. If the organization investigates deeply, everything will come to light!"
Chen Bin also knew he absolutely couldn’t tell the truth.
Otherwise, his future political career would be over!
"Thank you Secretary Deng for the reminder. I have a clear conscience and am willing to accept scrutiny."
Fu Hongtu coldly snorted and immediately made a phone call using the desk phone in front of him.
"Let her in!"
Before long, the office door was pushed open from the outside.
Upon seeing that it was Cai Lixia, Chen Bin was extremely shocked.
After entering the office, Cai Lixia kept her head down, unable to look Chen Bin in the eye.
Clearly, she felt guilty.
At this point, Deng Jiabao seriously said to Chen Bin.
"Before you came, Cai Lixia already confessed everything. Do you still intend to persist in your lies?"
Glancing at Cai Lixia, Chen Bin calmly said.
"What did she confess?"
Slamming the table forcefully, Deng Jiabao seemed very angry.
"Chen Bin, are you making your last stand? Cai Lixia admitted to having an improper relationship with you, and the child she birthed is yours. Do you dare to take a paternity test?!"
Just as Chen Bin was about to speak, Fu Hongtu spoke first.
"Your contributions to Dragon Mountain County are evident to all, and the organization has always treated you as a young cadre to focus on cultivating. But if you’ve made mistakes, you should be brave enough to admit them. Are you sure you want to continue to deny it?"
