Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Heh, you're actually quite considerate of me!"

Facing Liu Yumeng's sarcasm, Wang Xiaohua replied in a calm tone:

"I don't just consider you, I also consider your dad. To tell the truth, since your family thinks so highly of me, I must treat this with due seriousness."

Liu Yumeng's brows furrowed slightly:

"Wang Xiaohua, why do I feel there's a hidden meaning in your words?"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly denied it:

"No, no, just the literal meaning, I'm very sincere. I just said, I left early today, that was indeed my fault, I apologize to you again, truly sorry. How about this, another day I'll treat you to a meal."

Liu Yumeng had nothing to say.

"Alright alright, I also have my faults, I should have sent you a message when I woke up."

Wang Xiaohua said calmly:

"It's fine, it's fine, I don't blame you."

Liu Yumeng was rendered speechless.

She thought, how did it become your place to blame me?

I didn't blame you at all!

Wang Xiaohua spoke again at this moment:

"Are you going home to sleep now, or coming straight to Town? Why not come straight to Town, help me handle some documents."

Liu Yumeng subconsciously refused:

"I'll still go back and catch some more sleep, I'm dead tired! I might be a bit late to work this morning, you better not mark me late, otherwise I won't let this go with you!"

Wang Xiaohua chuckled:

"Okay okay, I'll submit a leave slip for you, count it as half a day off."

Liu Yumeng felt stifled.

She just wanted to say she didn't want to take leave, but discovered Wang Xiaohua had already hung up the phone.

Liu Yumeng took a deep breath, adjusting her emotions.

Mentally reviewing what had just happened, how did she feel Wang Xiaohua had changed?

As for where he had changed, she couldn't put her finger on it.

Just intuition told her, Wang Xiaohua was no longer as easy to manipulate as before.

And on the other side, Wang Xiaohua hung up Liu Yumeng's phone.

He stood up, brushed his teeth and washed his face.

Then went for a run.

Circling the Town market, he ran one lap.

He hadn't exercised his body for a long time.

But from now on, he must train his body well.

For nothing else, only to prepare for long-term struggle!

When he just set out for his run, the street was still empty of people.

By the time he finished running, the market was already bustling with people coming and going.

Today is Market Day.

Those selling things, those buying things, all agreed to come to this street to conduct trade.

So many years, this street hasn't changed, the Market Day here hasn't changed either.

Still that familiar feeling.

Wang Xiaohua at a breakfast shop bought an egg rice noodle roll, finished the roll, went back to shower, changed into clean clothes, the whole person felt refreshed, only then went to work.

Arrived at the Office side.

Checked the time, only a bit past six.

The entire Town Government Building, only he had come.

Wang Xiaohua leisurely processed yesterday's backlogged documents.

Then took out his mobile phone, dialed Xiao Xueqing's number.

"Hello, County Magistrate Xiao, I have something to discuss with you."

Xiao Xueqing on the other end of the phone, receiving Wang Xiaohua's call, was very surprised, but also very delighted.

She thought Wang Xiaohua wouldn't contact her again, wouldn't even give her a chance again.

So last night she suffered insomnia the whole night, couldn't think of a countermeasure.

Unexpectedly today Wang Xiaohua actually took the initiative to call.

"Xiao Hua, whatever it is, you say it, I'm listening."

Xiao Xueqing's voice, within fatigue carried a trace of trembling.

This was her showing a negotiable attitude first.

Although her position is higher than Wang Xiaohua's by who knows how many levels, but the current situation, whether she can land safely, might be a matter of Wang Xiaohua's single thought.

So attitude naturally needs to be set straight first.

"I went to Liu Xinwen's home again last night. Does County Magistrate Xiao know about this matter?"

Wang Xiaohua went straight to the point.

Because by this time, beneath the calm lake surface, undercurrents had long been surging violently, even fighting to the death, so there was no longer any need to beat around the bush.

"I know."

Xiao Xueqing's voice trembled:

"You this is……"

She even choked up a bit:

"You this is, have you already made your choice?"

Wang Xiaohua didn't answer directly, but countered with a question:

"What do you think?"

Xiao Xueqing's heart sank to the bottom, and she said with a bitter smile:

"You went to Liu Xinwen's home a second time, and moreover took such important materials from his hands, I imagine you should have already made your choice……"

Speaking to here, Xiao Xueqing paused for a while, then continued:

"Xiaohua, I know you already distrust me, but I can only say, the initial matter was your father-in-law's choice, and moreover no one expected he would die suddenly in prison, for this I can only be very sorry."

Wang Xiaohua laughed at this moment:

"County Magistrate Xiao, I think you've misunderstood my meaning."

Xiao Xueqing was stunned, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw rope:

"Your words…… what meaning?"

Wang Xiaohua just said:

"I have no intention of going to report you."

Xiao Xueqing was dumbfounded:

"Is this true?"

Wang Xiaohua just said:

"If it were a lie, I wouldn't have needed to specially make a phone call to tell you."

Xiao Xueqing nodded, indeed this was the principle.

Wang Xiaohua said again:

"I knew that upon learning I took the materials from Liu Xinwen, you would certainly be deeply worried, and might even choose to surrender because you couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock, so I hurriedly gave you a call this morning to give you a reassurance pill."

Xiao Xueqing heard these words, and was even more astonished.

She completely didn't expect that Wang Xiaohua had even predicted her choice!

This young person, on the surface appearing ordinary in looks, but in actuality ability far exceeds ordinary people's imagination!

So young, yet possessing such predictive judgment, in the future will certainly have boundless prospects.

"I was indeed thinking, whether to go surrender." Xiao Xueqing confessed, she let out a long sigh, "Although I'm very unwilling, but if you really choose to go report me, then the optimal solution before me, I fear there's only the one road of surrender."

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

"County Magistrate Xiao, set your mind at ease, you will land safely."

Xiao Xueqing asked:

"Why do you want to help me?"

Wang Xiaohua instead said:

"I'm not helping you, but helping myself."

Xiao Xueqing was stunned:

"How to explain these words?"

Wang Xiaohua then explained:

"At Liu Xinwen's, I'm merely a chess piece, at yours, however, it's not simply just a chess piece, additionally if I reported you, I would certainly offend most of the leaders in this county town, at that time Liu Xinwen certainly wouldn't protect me, then wouldn't I become a discarded piece? That is to say, reporting you, and cutting off my own future prospects aren't much different."

Xiao Xueqing nodded, deeply expressing agreement:

"Xiaohua, didn't expect you to consider things so profoundly!"

Wang Xiaohua continued:

"And if I don't report you, then I can transform from a chess piece into the chess player, Liu Xinwen wants to deal with you, right? I have a method to help you resolve the crisis."

Xiao Xueqing hurriedly said:

"Liu Xinwen certainly doesn't have only you as a chess piece, he still has follow-up moves, even if you don't report me, someone else will go fill the gap, do you really have a method to resolve this crisis?"

Wang Xiaohua's tone was calm:

"Yes, but it still depends on whether County Magistrate Xiao you have sincerity?"

Xiao Xueqing trembled.

At this moment she realized, Wang Xiaohua hadn't come to help her, but to manipulate her.
