Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

The Bigu Yuan Villa Community is still some distance from the County Town Center.

So after Xiao Hua took a minivan to the County Town, he still had to transfer once more to reach Country Garden.

He hailed a three-wheeler and rode it to Country Garden.

Arriving at the Country Garden community, he paid the three-wheeler driver 5 yuan fare, and Xiao Hua walked into the community.

One must say, this Bigu Yuan Villa Community, new is just different; not only are the buildings newer than Aoyuan's, but the style is also more fashionable, more in line with the mainstream.

Just a villa like this sells for hundreds of thousands, even not lower than commercial housing in Guangzhou.

Xiao Xueqing could actually afford a villa here?

A question mark arose in Xiao Hua's heart.

Although civil servants have a high provident fund coefficient, if it's purely relying on salary, Xiao Xueqing shouldn't be able to afford it.

Arriving at Xiao Xueqing's residence, Xiao Hua sent a message to Xiao Xueqing on his mobile phone.

Before long, Xiao Xueqing came out of the villa to open the door for Xiao Hua.

She even complained:

"This villa is great in every way, just no automatic access control; when guests come, I still have to run out to open the door."

Xiao Hua smiled politely:

"County Magistrate Xiao, what matter did you look for me for?"

Xiao Xueqing brought Xiao Hua inside:

"Let's talk inside, while drinking tea."

Entering the living room, Xiao Hua scanned a glance; this spacious hall, though not glittering with gold and jade, clearly had great effort put into the decoration.

"Like this villa?"

Xiao Xueqing carried tea over and asked very casually.

Xiao Hua smiled and said:

"A villa, who wouldn't like it?"

Xiao Xueqing smiled:

"Only pity, too expensive, even I can't afford it; if your two brothers helped support you a bit, maybe you could get on the ladder, otherwise it'd be hard."

Xiao Hua was stunned, his expression changing slightly.

This stun had two reasons.

One, Xiao Xueqing actually took the initiative to say she couldn't afford this villa.

Two, Xiao Xueqing seemed to have seen through Xiao Hua's inner doubts.

This Xiao Xueqing is not simple at all.

And she's not the kind of not-simple like Liu Yumeng who shows her sharp edges.

But the not-simple that startles wind and rain in silence.

"County Magistrate Xiao, this villa, wasn't it bought by you?"

Xiao Xueqing shook her head.

"Someone else gave it?" Xiao Hua asked again.

Xiao Xueqing laughed even more:

"If someone else gave it I wouldn't dare accept either; wouldn't that leave a handle on me?"

Xiao Hua was stunned once more.

Thinking of last night when Liu Xinwen received him, Liu Xinwen proudly said his villa cost him no money, was given by someone else, he actually never thought that accepting someone's benefits would likewise leave a handle for them.

Instead, Xiao Xueqing casually spoke out the essence of accepting bribes.

Though there are benefits, it also leaves a handle for others to manipulate.

"Then County Magistrate Xiao, your meaning is……"

Xiao Hua continued probing.

Xiao Xueqing said:

"This villa I'm renting; the rent isn't expensive, quite affordable; I've rented for five years straight, it's almost up now, but I don't plan to renew."

"Living fine like this, why not continue renting?"

Xiao Xueqing said:

"We officials must always be ready for the Organization above to transfer us; I've worked in this County Town so many years, barring accident, in another year or half, there'll be a chance to be transferred and promoted."

Xiao Hua said:

"Then let me congratulate County Magistrate Xiao first!"

But Xiao Xueqing said:

"Congratulate what; at this key node, it's easiest to fall flat on your face; Xiao Hua, the struggle inside is far more complex than you imagine; many things, I hope you don't just hear a few words from others and believe them true."

Xiao Hua looked at Xiao Xueqing, discovering Xiao Xueqing's expression had become meaningful:

"County Magistrate Xiao, I'm rather dull; if there's anything, please speak plainly."

Xiao Xueqing said:

"I heard you went to Liu Xinwen's home yesterday; Liu Xinwen should have said some things to you, right."

Wang Xiaohua was noncommittal and did not answer immediately.

Xiao Xueqing spoke again:

"I am pushing reforms in the County Town, assisting the development of the County Town's economy; this inevitably touches the cake of the local interest groups in the County Town, and Liu Xinwen, along with the Liu Family behind him, is one of the local Powerful and Noble clans in the County Town, so he very clearly wants to use you as a knife, a sharp knife to stab at me at the Key Node of my imminent promotion."

Wang Xiaohua spoke, but he did not admit Xiao Xueqing's speculation, nor did he deny it; instead he raised a question:

"I don't understand. Since County Magistrate Xiao, you are being transferred away, why does Liu Xinwen still need to make a move against you?"

Xiao Xueqing said:

"It's very simple. Because he wants to overturn all the reform measures I formulated, and the best way to overturn these policies is not to start from the trivial details of these policies, but to find the problem with me as a person, and directly negate me as a person from the Root Cause. If I as a person have a problem, then the formulated policies have an orientation of personal interest, and they can naturally be easily overturned."

"I see..." Wang Xiaohua nodded slowly.

Xiao Xueqing said at this moment:

"If my guess is correct, Liu Xinwen should have told you about Li Zhongxian being arrested, right?"

Xiao Xueqing looked at Wang Xiaohua, hoping Wang Xiaohua could be frank and open.

Wang Xiaohua thought for a full three seconds, and in the end did not conceal anything:

"That's right. Liu Xinwen said that my father-in-law was targeted by the Discipline Inspection Commission back then, and it was County Magistrate Xiao, your doing."

Xiao Xueqing laughed coldly:

"This bastard Liu Xinwen, really knows how to fan the flames."

Wang Xiaohua looked at Xiao Xueqing:

"County Magistrate Xiao, whatever the truth of the matter is, I hope you can tell me honestly."

Wang Xiaohua thought Xiao Xueqing would completely deny Liu Xinwen's statement, but the words Xiao Xueqing spoke next completely exceeded Wang Xiaohua's expectations.

As soon as Xiao Xueqing opened her mouth, she frankly admitted it:

"That's right. Back when Li Zhongxian was arrested, it was I who personally submitted the materials to the Discipline Inspection Commission that came to patrol."

Wang Xiaohua shuddered, his face full of shock.

He completely did not expect that Xiao Xueqing would frankly admit this matter.

At this moment, Xiao Xueqing changed the subject:

"However, this matter is far more complex than you imagine; it is difficult for me to explain it clearly to you in A Moment. If I make a long story short, I will tell you: Li Zhongxian's imprisonment was both the result of a Power Struggle and the result of his own voluntary sacrifice. For the sake of the Overall Situation, he voluntarily submitted the report materials to me, asking me to hand over the report materials to the Discipline Inspection Commission. He took all those matters from back then onto himself; only then was this County Town's peace exchanged."

Wang Xiaohua was even more shocked:

"You mean, all of this was my father-in-law's own will?"

Xiao Xueqing nodded:

"That's right, it was his own will. And the reason he was willing was because he knew he had been too greedy. After the Discipline Inspection Commission was stationed, it was Impossible for him to Escape no matter what. So he voluntarily sacrificed himself, then exchanged with us for a final Benefit."

"Final Benefit?" Wang Xiaohua asked.

Xiao Xueqing's gaze became complex, looking at Wang Xiaohua:

"He knew you would return to your hometown to develop after Graduation, so he wanted us to secretly support you, not letting you be buried in this Mountain Pass Small Place."
