Chapter 1 Chaos KTV

  The old leader that Bai Jingchu mentioned never gambled, but his son-in-law was originally a crazy gambler. He was once a promising young man with a bright future ahead of him and had the backing of his father-in-law, a provincial-level leader. Everyone thought he would achieve great things. At the very least, he could become a vice mayor or vice minister.

  However, this young man was fond of gambling. From the initial thousands to the later tens of millions. And in the end, even the family's house was lost. A member of a deputy provincial leader's family had such a shameful thing happen, how could the old leader not be disgusted?

  This person didn't know to repent, instead he became even more unscrupulous. His weakness was fully exploited by his old leader's political enemy. The opponent sent a few skilled gamblers who thoroughly swindled this scoundrel. In the end, the scoundrel finally realized that he couldn't repay the gambling debt.

  The other party revealed a ferocious face, threatening to expose his participation in gambling and whoring with prostitutes while on duty as a civil servant! If that happens, this guy will be completely finished!

  But afterwards, the other party eased up a bit and extracted many family secrets from his father-in-law. As a result, the other party used this as a handle and almost caused a huge political crisis for the old leader. Although the old leader finally settled things with super high skills, he also paid a heavy price. More importantly, he was chilled to the bone!

  As a high-ranking official's son-in-law, he was addicted to gambling and whoring, and even stabbed him in the back... Who could tolerate this if they were a big shot? After a fit of rage, the old leader kicked this scoundrel out and personally strangled his political career. Of course, his daughter also divorced him soon after and remains single at home. This loss of reputation was equally unbearable for the old leader. It seemed that wherever he went in the provincial party committee compound, people would point and whisper to each other.

  Since then, the old leader has said in the circle more than once: "Gambling will make a person not look like a human being, nor a ghost! Whoever is obsessed with this, get out of my sight... Gambling is addictive, it's demonic!"

  Without personal experience, it's hard to understand the deep pain of an old leader, and it's also difficult to understand his almost paranoid hatred for gambling. This is like how ordinary people view extramarital affairs as a joke, while the woman involved sees it as the worst thing in the world; the reasoning is roughly the same.

  Coincidentally, Zhao Wei, the executive vice mayor of Jiangning City, likes to gamble and is notorious for his addiction. Moreover, his gambling often involves "immorality". Sometimes after inspecting grassroots areas, he would gamble with some female subordinates who intentionally lose badly, then use the excuse that their salary is not enough to repay the debt, and offer themselves as a form of "repayment" by sleeping with him. Zhao Wei would happily accept this, thoroughly enjoying himself.

  Some female cadres who "repaid the gambling debt" with their bodies often received Zhao Wei's care. A certain female deputy town head in Xiawu District, who had "lost" to Zhao Wei several times, rose through the ranks of deputy secretary of the town party committee, town head, and deputy director of the district party committee organization department within two years, and is now a member of the district party committee standing committee and district secretary-general, with real power as a deputy county-level official. This series of rapid promotions, disregarding normal personnel appointment regulations, has earned the admiration of Jiangning's official circles, who all say that "this woman has something special". As for Zhao Wei, he indeed fulfilled his promise to this female cadre - "future promotion".

  This kind of thing is very common and has spread widely to some extent, it can be said that it is notorious. But Zhao Wei pretended to be a clean and upright person in front of the old leader, while the subordinates did not dare to let the old leader know about this matter.

  "He's simply a scumbag in official circles." Yi Jun sighed, "Zhao Xiaowu is a good kid, how could his old man be such a person?"

  Bai Jingchu elegantly shrugged her shoulders: "One flower, one world; a thousand people, a thousand appearances. If there are heroes and scoundrels among the children of old masters, then naturally it's also possible for the opposite to occur. Actually, I'm also pitiful about Xiao Wu and Xiao Wen (Zhao Xiaowu's twin sister) - they're really good kids. Otherwise, I would have exposed Zhao Wei long ago. But this time he asked someone to investigate and monitor me, which really got on my nerves. Tell me, should we take him down or not?"

  Yi Jun was also a bit conflicted. To say that according to the ordinary people's way of thinking, they would definitely be delighted if an official like Zhao Wei were to fall. However, it had to be admitted that Zhao Xiaowu was indeed not bad. Not only had he helped Yi Jun out, but he had also followed closely behind him with great enthusiasm. In terms of age, he seemed like a younger brother, and psychologically, even more like a younger nephew.

  After some thought, Yi Jun shook his head and smiled: "Forget it. Once this gets out, Zhao Wei will be finished, and his family will probably fall apart too. After all, no one would be foolish enough to tell Zhao Xiaowu's mother about Zhao Wei's infidelity. And once the truth comes out, those two will probably get a divorce. Then what will you do with Xiaowu and her siblings?"

  "What's going on? Am I supposed to just put up with it? That damned guy, daring to investigate me! How much money does my family secretly give him every year, and he still doesn't know what's good for him."

  Yi Jun smiled and said, "It's really not possible to make it clear to him and advise him to change his stinky habits. In fact, he may be panicked now. Although the detective agency can't find War Eagle, they will definitely continue to look for him. Moreover, after War Eagle, the detective, went missing, Zhao Wei at least knew that this surveillance investigation had failed. Maybe Zhao Wei has already started to suspect - suspect that you know he is investigating you."

  Bai Jing smiled slightly: "Whatever, it's better if you know, scare this guy to death."

  "It's still best to resolve it peacefully," Yi Jun said. "We have enough things on our plate, don't let Zhao Wei get in the way again. Although the matter with Qian Qi Yun has been settled, I suspect he hasn't been up to any good either. On the other hand, just like how the detective agency is desperately searching for Zhan Xiong, the assassin organization must also be frantically looking for Wen Zhu. Especially since even Wen Zhu's sister Wen Keke has gone missing, the Bamboo Shadow Organization will go crazy."

  "Cut! Bai Jingchu glared at him: 'When you caught that killer arrow, you were really a hero. One moment it's 'Bamboo Shadow', the next it's 'Xiang Bamboo Tears', you're acting like some kind of big shot.'"

  "What a big shot, I've only occasionally heard of this organization, just trying to scare him with nonsense."

  "Are you still hiding from me? Do you believe that I can kick you out through the window with one foot? Honestly, were you a hitman in the past?" Bai Jingchu said with a slanted gaze. But after a while, this woman with extremely strong associative thinking and rapid emotional changes sighed and said, "Forget it, if you don't want to say anything, then don't. I told you my secret, but originally I didn't plan on exchanging your secrets."

  "Hehe......"

  "Hey, you!" Bai Jingchu supported her chin, gazing at the bright moon outside the window. But looking at that lovely face, it was clear that she was a little bit down in the dumps.

  Yi Jun smiled and said: "Hmmm, if you want to talk about a killer circle, I suppose it counts."

  Bai Jingchu suddenly turned her head and stared at the guy's face. Is this Yi Jun's secret? True or false? It seems that this guy doesn't have any substantial words in his mouth.

  "Scared? Haha, I used to be a tough guy who often stabbed people with knives!" Yi Jun deliberately laughed eerily.

  "Scared of you? You big-headed ghost! Come on and try to stab me if you dare, I'll swallow you whole!" And so, another fierce attack ensued.

  Spit? Swallow?
