Chapter 1174: Yang Guoxiong, You Are Under Arrest!

Yang Guoxiong took the initiative to step forward, attempting to pull Jin Baoling into the room.

Jin Baoling twisted her waist, avoiding Yang Guoxiong's hand.

A flash of surprise and anger crossed her eyes.

Yang Guoxiong forced himself to put on a smile,

"It's only been a few days, why are you so distant?"

Jin Baoling did not respond to Yang Guoxiong's question; she sat straight down on the sofa, placed her handbag on the coffee table, crossed her jade-like legs, and looked at Yang Guoxiong with a half-smile, "Mayor Yang, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

Yang Guoxiong took a deep breath, walked in front of Jin Baoling, and said softly, "I have something I need your help with. Xiyang City is currently investigating issues in the transportation system, and as the Vice Mayor in charge of transportation, I will definitely be a key target of the investigation."

Jin Baoling remained calm, "You overestimate my abilities. I am merely a Deputy Division Level Official; if you can't solve this, how could I possibly help you?"

Yang Guoxiong stopped beating around the bush, "Baoling, we have been together for so many years; I have long considered you the most important person to me. You wouldn't just stand by and watch me die, would you!"

I really cannot lose my position as Mayor.

Help me take the fall; if you take the initiative to confess to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, as long as I am saved, we still have a future."

Jin Baoling looked at Yang Guoxiong's disheveled state; for some reason, she felt a sense of sorrow, mixed with anger.

She couldn't help but reflect: is this the man she once loved deeply?

Back then, she could abandon all dignity for Yang Guoxiong and satisfy all his perverted demands.

Even when she knew he was dumping her by transferring her to work in the province, she still willingly accepted the arrangement.

"Mayor Yang, you disappoint me. If you were still the high and mighty person you once were, someone I had to look up to, perhaps I would still have some respect for you."

"The way you are now makes me feel like a stranger. I even wonder if you've been replaced by someone else."

Facing Jin Baoling's mockery, Yang Guoxiong actually felt very stifled.

In the past, Jin Baoling was his slave and plaything; she never dared to defy anything he told her to do.

But now, Jin Baoling gave Yang Guoxiong a feeling of being out of control.

Yang Guoxiong remained silent, took a divorce certificate out of his bag, and handed it to Jin Baoling.

Jin Baoling glanced at it, surprise appearing in her eyes.

Yang Guoxiong caught Jin Baoling's wrist unexpectedly and said gently and sincerely,

"I treated you poorly in the past, but I have truly thought it through now."

"You are indispensable in my life."

"I am not trying to propose to you, but rather asking you to help me."

"As long as you help me escape this current crisis, once everything is over, I am willing to marry you!"

"There are two million in the box; this money is all for you!"

The corners of Jin Baoling's mouth lifted slightly, and coldness spread across her face...

She would go and "pedal the sewing machine" for a few years for him.

After she got out, would Yang Guoxiong marry her?

"Mayor Yang, do you think I am particularly stupid and easy to deceive?"

"I have been with you since I was twenty, for over ten years; don't I understand your character?"

"This divorce certificate is likely fake, isn't it?"

"Also, my coming to see you today serves as a conclusion to our past ill-fated relationship."

"I am living very freely and easily now!"

"Please never contact me again."

Yang Guoxiong gave a bitter smile, "I can't do that! Baoling, I don't believe you are this heartless; you must be testing me. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Jin Baoling's eyes turned cold, "I don't need you to do anything. After being with you for so many years, besides being your mistress, I also became a tool for you to manage your connections. I was very naive before, thinking that loving someone required a spirit of sacrifice. But I have awakened now. If a person cannot even love themselves, they are not qualified to love anyone else."

Yang Guoxiong sighed, "Do you have someone you like? If you have a new relationship, I wish you well and won't disturb you. For the sake of our past feelings, don't be so heartless!"

"If you weren't in a desperate situation now, would you be groveling to ask for my help?"

"I actually always wanted to contact you. I was just too busy before."

"Is that so? I don't believe it."

"What do I have to do for you to believe me? How about I rip my heart out for you to see?"

"No need to be so dramatic. I don't need two million; kneel down, and perhaps I will believe you."

Yang Guoxiong bit his lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to kneel down.

Jin Baoling laughed wildly, "I didn't expect you to actually kneel. Do you really think that by kneeling in front of me, I will change my mind?"

"Jin Baoling, don't go too far! My patience is limited. Do you think that if I fall, you can escape? You are on the same boat as me!"

Jin Baoling's ruthlessness completely infuriated Yang Guoxiong.

He grabbed Jin Baoling's wrist in anger and pushed her onto the bed!

"Sure enough, you've revealed your true colors. Was it tiring to act just now? Why bother!"

"You bitch, I tried to talk to you nicely, but you wouldn't listen. It seems I have to use some forceful measures with you!"

If it were in the past, Jin Baoling would have chosen to submit and become Yang Guoxiong's fire extinguisher and punching bag.

But this time, Jin Baoling did not yield!

Yang Guoxiong unbuttoned his shirt and lunged toward Jin Baoling.

Jin Baoling rolled to the side and dodged him.

She took out her phone, dialed 110, and pointed the phone at Yang Guoxiong.

"Mayor Yang, I warn you again: if you dare to lay a hand on me, I will call the police and say you are trying to rape me."

Yang Guoxiong saw a chilling coldness in Jin Baoling's firm gaze.

A look of helplessness appeared at the corners of his mouth, "Forget it, it was all my own wishful thinking."

Jin Baoling walked toward the door decisively and closed it.

Yang Guoxiong silently lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then clutched his head in agony.

He wanted to persuade Jin Baoling to turn herself in voluntarily and take responsibility for everything.

However, this path with Jin Baoling was clearly a dead end.

Now, the only solution was to find his brother-in-law.

Yang Guoxiong dialed his brother-in-law's mobile number.

But the prompt that came through was, "The number you have dialed is currently unreachable!"

Yang Guoxiong felt a sense of being at the end of his rope.

He did not know how much time had passed when the doorbell rang, interrupting Yang Guoxiong's thoughts.

Yang Guoxiong's first reaction was, could Jin Baoling have thought it through and come back to him?

He walked to the door cautiously and looked out through the peephole, but he did not see anyone.

He thought for a moment and decided to open the door to find out what was going on.

Just as he pulled the door ajar, a massive force struck.

Several tall and burly men rushed straight in and pinned him to the floor.

"Who are you people?"

"We are the Xiyang Police! This is an arrest warrant. Yang Guoxiong, you are under arrest!"

Yang Guoxiong gradually stopped struggling, his mouth curling with panic, despair, and fear...

He did not wait for Jin Baoling to have a change of heart...

What he waited for was the Xiyang Police...
