Chapter 1: Angry Divorce, Heartless Bitch

"I'm bleeding heavily, I think I had a miscarriage! I told you to be gentle, but you wouldn't listen! It hurts so much, hurry up and take me to the hospital!"

Fang Xiaoqian lay on the bed with her hand over her lower abdomen, the half-covered blanket on her body unable to hide her pained expression.

The white sheets had already been stained red with blood in a large patch.

Having just put on his clothes and pants, Lin Dongfan lit a post-coital cigarette, turning a deaf ear to Fang Xiaoqian's reproaches.

Today is Lin Dongfan's rebirth day.

In this life.

He didn't want to be toyed with by that heartless bitch in bed anymore, nor did he want to become a scapegoat in the officialdom.

Ruthless bureaucracy, ruthless woman!

Lin Dongfan threw a pack of sanitary pads onto the bed: "The wedding is canceled, go to the hospital yourself."

"What did you say?"

Fang Xiaoqian, who had been lying there unwilling to move, suddenly jerked upright: "The wedding is canceled? Say that again!"

Lin Dongfan calmly took a puff of his cigarette.

He calmly tallied up: "The 88,000 bride price I gave your family, plus the 100,000 yuan your brother borrowed from me—please transfer the full amount to my card, a total of 188,000."

"What???"

Fang Xiaoqian's reaction became more and more bewildered.

Being bewildered is just right!

In my previous life, when I just discovered that the son I'd raised for over a decade was actually a wild breed, I was also completely bewildered.

Lin Dongfan contentedly snapped his fingers: "Your service today was spot-on; you don't have to return the gold and silver jewelry I bought you—I'll be generous and consider it compensation for this romp."

"Lin Dongfan, you're possessed, aren't you!"

The more Fang Xiaoqian listened, the angrier she got, not even noticing the blood on her legs.

She glared with both eyes and shouted:

"The wedding invitations have already been sent out, and you say cancel just like that?! Besides, what do you mean by 'compensation for this romp'? What do you think I, Fang Xiaoqian, am? A prostitute?!"

Faced with her uncontrollable fury, Lin Dongfan only found it amusing.

Lin Dongfan flicked the ash from his fingertips:

"To be honest, I once held you up like a fairy in my palm. Yet behind my back you got together with Li Hengbo and became his mistress. What do you think I should regard you as?"

"Lin Dongfan!!!"

Fang Xiaoqian grabbed a sanitary pad and threw it at Lin Dongfan.

After throwing the pad, she hurled the bedside alarm clock.

Seeing Lin Dongfan easily dodge,

Fang Xiaoqian then flung the roll of tissue from the bedside: "When did I ever get together with Li Hengbo? You damn freak, get down on your knees and apologize right now!"

"Apologize?"

"Get down on your knees and apologize right now!"

"Alright, let me tell you the truth. No beating around the bush—I invited you here today to get rid of the bastard in your womb. How about it, you not satisfied?"

Lin Dongfan's tone was very calm, neither angry nor agitated.

It was precisely this uncharacteristic calm, tinged with a hint of unprecedented indifference,

that left the originally arrogant Fang Xiaoqian speechless.

Just now Lin Dongfan had acted like a domineering beast, and she had thought he was just pent up, never expecting his aim to be to get rid of the child in her belly.

It seems it can't be hidden anymore; this guy knows everything.

Fang Xiaoqian defended herself through tears:

"What happened between me and Li Hengbo is nothing like you imagine. That day I just got drunk, and afterward I don't even know what occurred. The child is just an accident..."

"Drunk? An accident?"

"In my past life, I was just simple-minded, believed your lies, and ended up dying miserably in prison."

Lin Dongfan gave a faint smile:

"I didn't expect you to feel guilty sometimes. As an assistant judge, please use your professional expertise to analyze whether your panties have touched the legal bottom line."

"Lin Dongfan! Don't go too far!!!"

Seeing Lin Dongfan pressuring her relentlessly, leaving no room for leniency, Fang Xiaoqian also couldn't be bothered to keep pretending innocence.

She angrily rebuked:

"If you had even a shred of power, would Li dare to touch me? You useless good-for-nothing! You really aren't going to marry me, are you? Don't regret it!!!"

"Do you even know in your heart whether I'm a good-for-nothing?"

Lin Dongfan glanced meaningfully at the pool of blood on the bed, his achievement laid out there.

Fang Xiaoqian flushed with shame and anger: "You damn freak, get out! Get out!!!"

Unable to grab anything, Fang Xiaoqian hurled her phone.

It didn't hit Lin Dongfan, who had anticipated it.

Lin Dongfan brushed off the ash that had fallen on him, and as he left he left a light reminder: "Remember to repay that 188,000 to me, don't force me to come to your house to collect the debt."

"Lin Dongfan! You bastard!!!"

This hoarse, furious tirade had no effect whatsoever on Lin Dongfan's mood.

Watching Lin Dongfan stride off like a life winner.

Fang Xiaoqian was so anxious her eyes filled with tears.

Getting rid of the child in her belly is a small matter, but if the news of the broken engagement got out, wouldn't relatives and friends laugh themselves to death?

Fang Xiaoqian gritted her teeth through the unbearable pain in her lower body, got out of bed, picked up her phone, and sent three messages to Lin Dongfan.

Now only you idiot still don't know—today Chu Jinsong has already been taken away by the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission!

If I don't help you, you will definitely be implicated this time!

As long as you come back and apologize to me, I can still forgive you!!!

Lin Dongfan had already walked out of the hotel doors.

Upon seeing the third message, he felt nauseous, his hand trembling, and he directly added Fang Xiaoqian to the blacklist.

Apologizing…

In his previous life, he had done plenty of such foolish things, treating Fang Xiaoqian as a spotless, extraordinary fairy, cradling her in his palm; no matter how she lost her temper, he indulged and yielded to her in everything.

Only after doing a paternity test did he discover that his nickname was actually "idiot," and he didn't even know he had been cuckolded.

He had raised someone else's child for over ten years.

Later they quarreled over divorce, failing to reach agreement on property division; the lover Li Hengbo directly moved to suppress him, using his authority to transfer him from the Political and Legal Affairs Commission to the Emergency Management Bureau to take the fall.

This led to his expulsion from the Party, removal from public office, and a sentence of ten years in prison.

In the end, he died confused and muddled in prison.

Such an absurd, tragic life—how could it be repeated in this lifetime? Unscientific.

"In this angry era, I'm back!"

Lin Dongfan gazed up at the tumultuous sky, feeling that this was the proper bearing of a reborn one.

Counterattack!

Gratify grudges!

Seek the pinnacle of power!

To stand firm in the bureaucracy, the key is first to gain the approval of the key figure.

And that key figure is Chu Jinsong.

Chu Jinsong is still a member of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission; the entire Nanzhou political and legal system is under his sway, amounting to one-man dominance.

The fact that Chu Jinsong was taken away by the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission today has not yet been made public.

In his memory:

The Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission will only announce the case filing and investigation against Chu Jinsong three days later.

For the Nanzhou bureaucracy, this is no less than a bombshell.

By then, the entire Nanzhou political and legal system will fall into a state where everyone fears for themselves.

Each one fears being implicated.

Before the case is cleared up, many will rush to distance themselves from Chu Jinsong.

Even when summoned by the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, some will even throw stones at Chu Jinsong while he's down.

In his previous life, Lin Dongfan was also a fool who couldn't read the times; although he didn't throw stones at Chu Jinsong, when summoned by the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission he also didn't say anything good for him.

Afraid of dragging himself into it.

As it turned out, no one expected that after being held for a month by the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, Chu Jinsong would resume work unscathed and then rise smoothly.

Right now is precisely the low point of Chu Jinsong's life.

A perfect opportunity to get on board!

Someone like Chu Jinsong, who values loyalty and righteousness, once he trusts you, will genuinely spare no effort to cultivate you.

This time we must seize this opportunity.
