Chapter 735: A Big-Breasted, Brainless Vase!

"You came here for Ma Ran, didn't you!" Tang Ye took the initiative to clarify with Huo Xiaowen.

Huo Xiaowen looked at Tang Ye in surprise and asked, "Yes, County Magistrate Tang, I heard that something happened to Ma Ran."

At this moment, it was just time to get off work.

Not far away, quite a few colleagues were peeking and watching.

Tang Ye sighed softly and suggested, "There are too many people and too much gossip here; let's go into my office to talk!"

As he walked, he pondered.

Seeing Huo Xiaowen, Tang Ye didn't know why he suddenly thought of Xi Xiao'e.

Back when Lin Heng was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission for investigation, Xi Xiao'e had also come to find him like this.

Xi Xiao'e gave people an exceptionally sincere feeling.

But!

The way Huo Xiaowen was behaving at this moment always made one feel there were traces of performance.

Huo Xiaowen's mood at this moment was extremely complicated; she knew very well what it meant for a civil servant to be taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission.

She had always regarded Ma Ran as her future husband; although her parents had introduced her to many excellent boys, after interacting with them, Huo Xiaowen always felt that Ma Ran was more considerate toward her.

More importantly, Huo Xiaowen felt that she could handle Ma Ran.

But right now, the predicament Ma Ran was facing was not an ordinary one, but an unprecedented crisis.

She had to carefully consider whether she should continue to entangle herself with Ma Ran.

The two walked into Tang Ye's office.

Huo Xiaowen looked around and discovered that this office was not large; it was clean but very simple, not even as luxurious as the Principal's office.

Tang Ye turned to pour a cup of warm water for Huo Xiaowen and handed it over.

When handing the water, Huo Xiaowen's fingertips touched the back of Tang Ye's hand, as if by chance.

This subtle gesture made Tang Ye somewhat surprised, and a trace of vigilance quietly rose in the bottom of his heart.

Huo Xiaowen did not drink the water, but simply placed the cup on the table and spoke softly:

"County Magistrate Tang, I must explain something to you.

A few days ago, when Ma Ran was eating with Bureau Chief Chen, he accepted some money.

Actually, Ma Ran refused to take it at first; it was I who persuaded him to accept it.

I was possessed by a ghost at the time!

Considering that Ma Ran is your Liaison Officer, I beg you to help him."

Tang Ye said calmly, "Teacher Huo, although Ma Ran is my Liaison Officer, the law is merciless. If he truly did something wrong, he must accept punishment. If I help him now, he will only think that power can override the law, and he will only commit greater mistakes in the future."

Tang Ye did not reveal his plan just because Huo Xiaowen was Ma Ran's girlfriend.

After all, Huo Xiaowen's stance was unclear!

Huo Xiaowen did not expect Tang Ye's attitude to be so firm; she only felt her heart was as heavy as if pressed by a giant rock, and even breathing was somewhat difficult.

She bit her lower lip, looked at Tang Ye with a complex gaze, and then made an extremely bold move.

She slowly took off the shawl she was wearing, revealing the tight-fitting undershirt inside.

Huo Xiaowen's figure was kept extremely well; at nearly 1.7 meters tall, she weighed only 95 jin, yet the places on her body that should have curves were unmistakable, and the arcs of her waist muscles and hips were particularly prominent, exuding a visually pleasing impact.

She tossed the shawl onto the sofa, and immediately reached out to take off her undershirt.

Her snow-white arms, swan-like slender neck, and the crystal-clear, smooth skin of her chest were gradually revealed.

Tang Ye's expression darkened; he stood up and walked straight to Huo Xiaowen's side, reached out to press her arm, raised an eyebrow, and questioned, "Teacher Huo, what are you doing?"

Huo Xiaowen looked up, gazing at Tang Ye with tear-filled eyes, her tone carrying a plea: "County Magistrate Tang, for Ma Ran's sake, I can sacrifice everything. You are a cadre who came across provinces for exchange; you must know many people in the city and province. I beg you to help him once!"

Tang Ye's expression instantly turned grave.

His gaze unconsciously drifted toward the handbag Huo Xiaowen had placed to the side.

The position where that handbag was placed carried a hint of deliberation.

He took a step forward and snatched up the handbag.

Huo Xiaowen reacted extremely quickly and immediately rushed over, wanting to snatch it back.

Tang Ye could feel her body pressing in, carrying a soft touch and a faint scent of jasmine.

Yet he remained expressionless and blocked her away without mercy.

There was not a shred of intention to cherish the fair and protect the fragile.

Huo Xiaowen seemed to have collided with a copper wall and iron bastion; she rebounded violently and fell onto the sofa, her face instantly filled with panic.

Tang Ye unzipped the handbag and dumped everything inside out in one go.

Aside from cosmetics and skincare products, just as Tang Ye had expected, a thumb-sized pinhole camera was hidden in the lining.

"Teacher Huo, what is the meaning of this?" Tang Ye asked in a cold voice, pinching the camera in his hand.

Huo Xiaowen's state of mind was completely shattered!

In fact, the news that Ma Ran had been taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection working group was told to her by Chen Dongan.

At the time, Chen Dongan even threatened her, saying that Ma Ran was arrested for bribery, and that she, Huo Xiaowen, could not escape involvement either.

The only way now was to find a way to drag Tang Ye into the water.

When she first heard Chen Dongan's plan, Huo Xiaowen only felt it was insane.

But once she thought that if she didn't do this, Ma Ran would definitely not be able to get out.

In the end, she chose to take the risk.

Tang Ye also had a judgment regarding Huo Xiaowen.

Her beauty and figure could be called top-tier, but she was nothing more than a big-breasted, brainless vase!

Huo Xiaowen slumped onto the sofa, her eyes filled with despair.

Biting her lip, she said in a low voice, "County Magistrate Tang, I know you must be very angry right now, but I have no other choice... apart from you, no one can help Ma Ran."

Tang Ye mercilessly saw through her, saying in a deep voice, "Teacher Huo, stop acting. Tell me honestly, were these actions today instigated by someone else? If you confess now, there is still room for maneuver; if you insist on hiding it, I can only report this to the police."

Huo Xiaowen was stunned!

She had not expected Tang Ye to be so calm!

She completely panicked, having no idea what to do.

If Tang Ye really called the police, she would be completely finished.

She had always been confident in her figure and beauty, but Tang Ye remained unmoved, which stirred a strong sense of frustration deep within her.

Seeing Huo Xiaowen silent, Tang Ye knew her resolve had begun to waver.

He bent down to pick up the shawl from the sofa, handed it to Huo Xiaowen, and softened his tone:

"Teacher Huo, I know that what you did today may not have been your own intention. But you should be clear that some people have no way back now—at this moment, your choice is of the utmost importance."

Huo Xiaowen's eyes reddened, and finally unable to hold it in any longer, she revealed the truth: "County Magistrate Tang, I... I was instructed by Bureau Chief Chen to come and find you today. I regret it so much now, please, I beg you not to call the police! I know I was wrong, I was forced into a corner and had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure!"

Watching Huo Xiaowen cry like a pear blossom in the rain, Tang Ye felt not a shred of wavering.

He was not deceived by this display of vulnerability.

Huo Xiaowen stood up silently and crouched on the floor to gather her scattered belongings.

When she saw that pinhole camera, a wave of intense shame surged from the bottom of her heart.

Today!

It was absolutely the most humiliating day of her life!
