The Invincible Son-in-law

On personal conduct issues, it's always been a weakness for party officials. As long as no mistresses come forward to testify, the city's disciplinary committee couldn't care less about these trivial matters.

However, when it comes to matters like corruption and bribery, those must be thoroughly investigated.

Wu Man Ni didn't expect that after just taking a bribe from Zhang Jianming and then turning around to report him, they couldn't find any incriminating evidence, making her feel quite awkward.

Although this was a deliberate frame-up, Zhang Jianming did accept his gold bars, which is conclusive evidence; the problem now is that the gold bars haven't been found.

At Zhang Jianming's residence, they only found hundreds of thousands in cash. Secretary Zhang said he won it from gambling, and even named those involved - a deputy county magistrate from the county party committee, several bureau chiefs, and some company bosses.

The city's disciplinary committee immediately summoned them, and indeed, they had been gambling together and lost to Zhang Jianming, so they had no way to deal with him either.

Gambling is one of those issues that's neither too big nor too small, but at most, it results in some disciplinary action, not enough to topple Zhang Jianming.

Of course, after such a commotion, Zhang Jianming's political career is completely over.

However, if solid evidence is found, he's definitely going to prison. Right now, without evidence, it's just Wu Man Ni's one-sided accusation, which doesn't pose much threat to Secretary Zhang.

The leaders of the city's disciplinary committee are now in a bind, trying to figure things out in a meeting, while Zhang Jianming has taken a more extreme step by going on a hunger strike, threatening suicide, and scaring the committee into having someone monitor him 24/7, and even adjust his diet and sleep.

Lin Hao was quite pleased when he got this news, after all, it seems Zhang Jianming might not die just yet.

However, Lin Hao felt that Wu Man Ni framing Zhang Jianming couldn't be as simple as it seemed on the surface; surely there's an invisible hand behind this.

After all, Wu Man Ni is the mistress of Shen Sihai from the Four Seas Group. Her frame-up against Secretary Zhang might very well be at Shen Sihai's behest.

"Captain Zhou, thanks. I'll treat you to a drink another day," Lin Hao expressed his gratitude.

"Brother, skip the drinks. You'd better keep your mouth shut about this. If they trace it back, I could be in trouble," Zhou Bin warned.

"Don't worry, I won't reveal a word about this," Lin Hao assured, knowing the situation could be big or small, but he needed to be cautious.

Actually, he merely needed to discreetly inform Zhang Yuanyuan, and even if the city's disciplinary committee investigated, they wouldn't find any clues.

If it came down to it, he'd take the heat himself, ensuring Zhou Bin wouldn't get dragged into it.

In the previous life, that brother was truly like a brother to him, helping him many times, but ultimately, he was shot dead during a manhunt.

Living again, Lin Hao decided to help him avoid a disaster at the right time.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Hao went straight to the stock exchange to open an account and put in all the remaining tens of thousands, then bought a stock.

After all, he'd still need money in the future, and if he earned it from the stock market, it would be traceable.

Public officials can trade stocks, but they can't engage in insider trading or manipulate the market. Many people play around in the market like him.

This was also Lin Hao's way of finding a fallback for the future sources of huge funds.

As for the large amount of money in the car, he didn't dare to bring it home or leave it elsewhere, so he went to a used car market to buy a new car.

However, the car was registered under Zhang Yuanyuan's ID. As for the car, Lin Hao had already planned to park it in a remote underground garage. This chapter is from the collection at M-VL-EM-PYR.

At that time, he just needed to rent a parking space, park the car there, and leave the suitcase inside.

Only after doing all of this did Lin Hao drive back, and it was already dark.

Zhang Yuanyuan saw him return and immediately served the prepared meal - four dishes and a soup, which tasted pretty good.

"Lin, try my cooking skills," Zhang Yuanyuan proactively put a piece of braised ribs on his plate.

Lin Hao didn't stand on ceremony and started eating, nodding repeatedly in praise, "This is really good. I didn't expect you to have such skills."

"I usually eat at the school cafeteria. I only cook for myself on weekends. My dad used to find time to join me for a meal sometimes, but now..." Zhang Yuanyuan's expression turned gloomy when she talked about her dad.

"By the way, I asked around. Secretary Zhang is eating well and sleeping well inside. The city's disciplinary committee hasn't found any evidence of his corruption or bribery, so he'll probably be released soon," Lin Hao comforted her.

"Really? That's great news, Lin. Thank you!" Zhang Yuanyuan was overjoyed and gave him more food.

"Here's your ID card, and I bought you an electric scooter. It's downstairs, so it'll be more convenient for you to go to school," Lin Hao said as he handed her the ID card and keys.

As for the car, he didn't want to tell her about it for now. If the city's disciplinary committee came to investigate her, and she accidentally leaked it, that would be troublesome.

Zhang Yuanyuan was elated, took them cheerfully, and said, "Lin, you're so good!"

"Alright, let's eat and stop overthinking. I'll keep an eye on Secretary Zhang's situation," Lin Hao reassured her again.

"Thank you, Lin." Zhang Yuanyuan felt much better.

After dinner, Lin Hao initially planned to return to the county, but couldn't resist Zhang Yuanyuan's enthusiastic invitation and decided to stay for the time being.

The two-bedroom apartment was just right for them, with one room each.

However, there was only one shared bathroom for taking showers.

Zhang Yuanyuan, holding a semi-transparent nightgown and underwear, glanced at Lin Hao, who was smoking on the sofa, and quickly went into the bathroom.

Water started running, and the beautiful school belle began washing inside.

Hearing the sound of water, Lin Hao couldn't help but imagine Yuanyuan's enchanting figure, feeling a dry throat.

After a while, the beautiful girl finished her shower, came out in her nightgown, and went into her room.

A moment later, Zhang Yuanyuan walked out with a set of newly bought pajamas, handed them to Lin Hao, and said, "Lin, I bought you these pajamas and pants while shopping for groceries. See if you like them?"

"You even bought me underwear? So thoughtful?" Lin Hao discovered a pair of underwear included, joking with a smile.

"See if they fit you?" Zhang Yuanyuan blushed with embarrassment.

Lin Hao picked up the pajamas, looked at them, and matched them against his body, saying with a smile, "They should be fine."

"Then go take a shower," Zhang Yuanyuan said.

"Okay!" Lin Hao happily took the pajamas into the bathroom.

Bam!

After closing the door, Lin Hao turned to see pink lace lingerie and underwear on the sink, instantly feeling a surge of heat.

Apparently, the school belle had forgotten to take her clothes after giving him the pajamas.
