The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 358: Making Chen Bin Never Able to Turn the Tables Again!
Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Making Chen Bin Never Able to Turn the Tables Again!
Returning to Dragon Mountain County, Chen Bin’s mind was filled with thoughts of helping out.
That evening, after work, Xiong Wubing came to the County Hospital to see him.
After some casual chatting, Chen Bin naturally invited him to stay for dinner.
In the hotel private room, Xiong Wubing noticed Chen Bin’s troubled expression and couldn’t help but ask.
"You’ve been recovering well, so why the long face now?"
Putting down his chopsticks, Chen Bin replied helplessly.
"I’m not worried about my health; it’s mainly that my future seems bleak, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to work together for much longer."
"Why, are you being transferred?"
"Something like that, anyway, there are tough times ahead."
Furrowing his brows, Xiong Wubing asked with concern.
"What’s going on? Tell me, maybe I can help you think of a solution."
Waving his hand, Chen Bin replied with feigned indifference.
"Perhaps it’s better to drop it; talking about it would ruin the mood. Come, let’s have a drink."
"No way, if you see me as a buddy, tell me what’s going on, and we’ll figure something out together."
Heaving a heavy sigh, Chen Bin replied.
"I’ve offended someone, and I’m afraid the good days are over."
"Who? Ye Hong? He can’t stir up any trouble now."
"It’s not Ye Hong; it’s the secretary-general of the Provincial Committee, Feng Huzhou!"
Xiong Wubing blinked, looking quite puzzled.
"Isn’t it just Feng Huzhou? Can it be that serious?"
"Of course, his connections in the Imperial Capital are strong, and I can’t afford to offend him!"
This piqued Xiong Wubing’s curiosity, and he couldn’t help but ask, "How did you end up offending him?"
Without hesitation, Chen Bin explained the situation with Xu Ruoxuan and Feng Lei.
Mixing truth with lies, the ultimate aim was to paint himself as an innocent character.
Hearing this, Xiong Wubing couldn’t help but sigh.
"Logically, this shouldn’t be blamed on you!"
"In the face of absolute power, right and wrong don’t matter. Feng Huzhou not only targets me but also my future father-in-law. Currently, my future father-in-law’s brother-in-law has been taken away by the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Commission. What should I do now?"
With a light cough, Xiong Wubing’s eyes flickered, and he remained silent.
At this point, Chen Bin continued.
"I don’t know where my future father-in-law heard about your family’s background, saying that your family has a good relationship with Feng Huzhou, hoping you could intervene and help."
"What?"
Xiong Wubing originally had a ’spectator’ attitude, but he didn’t expect this matter to involve him so quickly.
After some hesitation, he still didn’t know what to do.
He could only reply, "How about this, give me some time to go back and think about it. If I can help, I definitely won’t refuse. How does that sound?"
Hearing this, Chen Bin became thrilled and nodded repeatedly.
"No problem, brother, I really appreciate it!"
After dinner, Xiong Wubing bid farewell to Chen Bin and walked alone to the guesthouse.
He knew very well the relationship between Xiong Guoqiang and Feng Huzhou.
However, since coming to Tianhai, he hadn’t visited Feng Huzhou because he didn’t think much of the old man.
Feng Huzhou did save the old man of the Xiong family, so they were accommodating to Feng Huzhou in every way.
But what was infuriating was that Feng Huzhou seemed to think the Xiong family owed him for life, often bringing up the fact that he saved someone.
The proud old man of the Xiong family felt uncomfortable having his scars constantly revealed.
Over time, their contact with Feng Huzhou diminished.
Especially last time, when they helped Feng Huzhou return to frontline work, the Xiong family almost unanimously opposed it, except for the old man who, considering old times, eventually helped him.
Since then, the Xiong family rarely contacted Feng Huzhou.
After hearing Chen Bin’s words today, Xiong Wubing felt even more averse to Feng Huzhou.
As for helping Cao Sanjin, Xiong Wubing thought it was quite necessary.
Liking Chen Bin was secondary; it was mainly because he felt that Cao Sanjin had come to the end of his rope.
As long as he extended a helping hand at this time, it would surely make Cao Sanjin feel grateful.
Being able to win over a provincial governor to one’s side was indeed a very good choice.
Nowadays, the Xiong family was no longer content with the political arena.
Venturing into business was the way to earn more money.
Doing such things in the Imperial Capital was unsafe, so Xiong Wubing was assigned to Yanxi Province.
The purpose was to build connections and safeguard the Xiong family’s business development plans.
Now that Feng Huzhou was old and almost without value.
Cao Sanjin was in his prime; if he were supported to become the provincial governor or even the Provincial Committee Secretary, he could at least serve the Xiong family for another ten years.
Of course, although he decided to help Cao Sanjin, Xiong Wubing still didn’t plan to agree directly.
Waiting a few more days, letting Cao Sanjin become more anxious, would be more effective.
On the weekend, Xiong Wubing went to Tianhai to see Liao Ruoji.
During their conversation, they unknowingly talked about the former’s current work.
"I heard your county plans to vigorously develop vegetable greenhouses, how is the progress going?"
Since breaking up with Chen Bin last time, Liao Ruoji had never contacted him again.
However, after so long, Liao Ruoji still couldn’t let go of Chen Bin.
In her view, there was a misunderstanding between her and Chen Bin, and once it was cleared up, it wouldn’t be like this.
But as a woman, Liao Ruoji couldn’t bring herself to proactively explain, so the matter was shelved.
Now seeing Xiong Wubing, Liao Ruoji began indirectly inquiring about Chen Bin’s news.
Xiong Wubing didn’t know Liao Ruoji’s intentions and chose to speak frankly.
"So far, the progress has been very smooth. It won’t be long before Dragon Mountain will shed its label as a national poverty-stricken county!"
"With such big changes, the secretary of Dragon Mountain’s County Committee must be very capable, right?"
"Capable? It’s all the credit of the County Magistrate."
Then, Xiong Wubing began to describe the deeds of Chen Bin in Dragon Mountain County.
Although Liao Ruoji had already found out about it, hearing it again, she was still captivated by Chen Bin’s charisma.
"According to you, that Chen Bin is indeed impressive."
Hearing his girlfriend praise another man, Xiong Wubing instantly felt dissatisfied.
"Hmph, no matter how impressive he is, he still came to ask for my help a few days ago!"
He then disclosed the issue with Cao Sanjin.
"What? You say Chen Bin already has a fiancée?!"
"Yes, and she’s quite plump. My goodness, they say over two hundred pounds."
Xiong Wubing didn’t notice the change in Liao Ruoji’s expression and kept talking on his own.
"Chen Bin looks so handsome, yet he wants to marry such a woman, only because he wants to latch onto the big tree that is Cao Sanjin. So, everything he’s doing now, his only aim is to climb the ladder." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
With this statement, Chen Bin’s perfect image shattered instantly in Liao Ruoji’s heart.
She now realized that all those things Chen Bin said to her before were just sweet talk.
The only goal was to leverage the Liao family’s power to continue climbing.
An endless fury surged in her heart, and Liao Ruoji gritted her teeth, saying.
"I hate this kind of man; you must help me crush him!"
"What?"
Scratching his head, Xiong Wubing was a bit bewildered.
He only wanted to prevent Chen Bin’s image from being too perfect in his girlfriend’s mind, and now, how did it suddenly turn out like this?
"Ruoji, actually there are many people in the political circle who want to climb up, but whatever it is, Chen Bin is a man of deeds. Perhaps..."
Liao Ruoji paid no heed to this and merely shouted in a tearful voice.
"I’m asking you one question: will you help or not?!"
Even though Xiong Wubing genuinely regarded Chen Bin as a friend, compared to his girlfriend, a friend seemed less important.
Gritting his teeth, Xiong Wubing answered.
"Fine, I’ll help, isn’t that enough? I guarantee Chen Bin will never have a comeback!"
