Chapter 40: Calling Mayor Wang

  He Dong slept very restlessly that night, and for the first half of the night, he hardly slept at all. After all, there was an assassin who had once tried to kill him living not far away, which would make anyone's heart uneasy.

  Until late at night, He Dong brought out all the pets he had summoned from space and let them guard him by his side before slowly falling asleep.

  The next morning, He Dong woke up early and took a look at the pets around him. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. The pets that recognized their master were good, and their loyalty was not to be mentioned. This diligent and hardworking attitude was even more satisfying.

  "Master, are you up? Breakfast is ready!" As Hao Dong walked downstairs, he unexpectedly found Zhao Xinxin dressed in a standard maid attire, respectfully waiting at the foot of the stairs.

  Black tight-fitting short dress, white apron, such a clear black and white outfit, not only shows off Zhao Xinxin's fiery figure perfectly, but also sets off the whole person as exceptionally cute. Plus Zhao Xinxin's coquettish voice, almost made He Dong's nosebleed.

  He Dong's self-control was okay, and he just stared blankly for a while before coming to his senses. However, Wang Xuewu, who had just gotten out of bed, was completely stunned, with blood flowing from his nose, and even lost control of his wheelchair. If He Dong hadn't grabbed him in time, Wang Xuewu might have rolled down the stairs.

  Zhao Xinxin was amused by Wang Xuewu's awkward appearance and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, making Wang Xuewu blush bright red, completely unlike a spoiled young master, but rather like a shy big boy.

  Finally, He Dong glared at Zhao Xinxin fiercely, stopping her laughter and resolving the awkward situation for Wang Xuewu.

  Don't look at Zhao Xinxin's cute and mischievous appearance, but her cooking skills are actually quite good. Looking at the eight small dishes on the table, as well as the steaming hot porridge and freshly fried pancakes, He Dong felt his mouth watering uncontrollably.

  "Ah, delicious! Really delicious!" Wang Xuewu was still a big kid after all, and soon he forgot about the awkwardness earlier, wholeheartedly throwing himself into the grand task of eating breakfast.

  Of course, He Dong was no exception, and he even thought that this was absolutely the best breakfast he had ever eaten.

  He Dong and Wang Xuewu's unappetizing eating habits made Zhao Xinxin smile again, and in her heart, she secretly thought: "Sister Juan was right, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach. Since Master likes my cooking so much, I estimate it won't take long for him to become inseparable from me. When that time comes, I'll ask Master to teach me the Golden Bell and Iron Cloth Shirt, and it will definitely be a done deal!"

  "Cough, cough! That... Xinxin, I have to go to school now! Actually, I advise you to leave too, I really don't have anything to teach you!" Looking at Zhao Xinxin's smug expression, He Dong also felt that his own eating posture was a bit embarrassing, and he awkwardly cleared his throat twice before continuing to persuade her.

  "No!" Zhao Xinxin shook her head very firmly.

  "Whatever, I don't care about you anymore. If you want to stay here, then just stay!" After He Dong's persuasion failed again, he could only shake his head in frustration and walk out of the villa, leaving behind Zhao Xinxin's triumphant smile.

  Zhao Xinxin's appearance made He Dong's studies a bit distracted, but soon some good news directly dissipated the impact brought by Zhao Xinxin's appearance.

  "Lao San, did you know? Something's happened at Sun Sheng's grandson's house!" Wang Qiang, the eldest in the dormitory, found He Dong during lunch and said mysteriously.

  "What's wrong? Is it serious?" He Dong's spirit suddenly lifted, and he hastily asked.

  "How can it not be serious? Now Guangtai Group's bank accounts have been frozen, the three Sun brothers have all been taken away, and Bao Ming has also been arrested. Deputy Mayor Liu Ke has been suspended from duty and is reportedly under investigation!" Wang Qiang, as a well-known rich second-generation in Tiangyang City, this information is absolutely very informed.

  "Is it that serious?" He Dong had already known the result, but still pretended to be surprised and said.

  "That's not all, I heard that this time our Tianyang City government is going to have a big earthquake! So many years, and there are quite a few officials who have been in cahoots with the Guangtai Group!" Wang Qiang said, his face also showing a worried expression, after all, this time too many people were implicated, and not a few of them had close ties with the Wang family.

  "What? Is someone from your family involved this time too?" He Dong guessed as soon as he saw the expression on Wang Qiang's face.

  "There are a few officials who have connections, but most importantly, my uncle is among them!" Wang Qiang sighed with furrowed brows.

  "Is your uncle in that department?" He Dong asked.

  "He's the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau! He used to drink with Sun Sheng's old man, and later got drunk and had a murky relationship with a woman, and was even photographed by that scoundrel surnamed Sun, so..." Wang Qiang was so furious he couldn't speak.

  "Older brother, what's your uncle's name?" He Dong thought for a moment before asking.

  "Chu Hongda!" Wang Qiang said without thinking, but after saying it, he suddenly looked at He Dong with a puzzled expression and asked, "Old Three, why did you ask this?"

  "Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call first!" He Dong didn't answer Wang Qiang's question, but instead took out his mobile phone and dialed it.

  He had just seen off a deputy mayor who came to report on his work, and Wang Xuewen lit a cigarette with a refreshed expression. It had been over a year since he took office in Tianyang City, and only now did he finally feel like he could hold his head high.

  Deputy Mayor Liu Ke, who opposed him, has been suspended and is unlikely to return. This incident also implicated a large number of people, whose vacant positions he now has great power to decide on.

  Those officials who were not implicated were also trembling with fear, afraid that one day they would be affected by the fish pond, so some clever people immediately began to approach Wang Xuewen. As a result, Wang Xuewen was very busy and tired in these days, but he enjoyed this kind of busyness very much.

  "Brother Wang, you must be exhausted lately!" Just as Wang Xuewen was enjoying this painful yet happy moment, he suddenly received a call from He Dong.

  "Alright, little brother, I won't say much more. In the future, if there's anything you need, just speak up and as long as it's something I can do, I'll definitely take care of it." Wang Xuewen was a person who knew how to be grateful.

  "Brother Wang, today I really have a favor to ask of you. One of my good friends, who is like a brother to me, his uncle is our city's Bureau Director Chu Hongda." He Dong said straightforwardly.

  "Director Chu! Alright, no problem, you let him come here for a visit!" As soon as Wang Xuewen heard He Dong's words, he understood what he meant. Although this matter had blown up and wasn't easy to deal with, he still agreed without hesitation.

  After He Dong hung up the phone, he looked at Wang Qiang's puzzled and hopeful eyes, smiled slightly, and said "Boss, let Uncle go to Mayor Wang to report on our work!"

  "Ah! This... is this true? You just called Mayor Wang?" Wang Qiang was suddenly stunned by He Dong's words.
