1958: C1958 End of the Road

C1958 End of the Road

No matter what had happened in the past few days, it couldn't change the fact that Chu Liangxiao was currently in charge of the city.

However, Yamaguti Shiqi, who had a close relationship with her, had died in the hospital. It was only two days after her death that she had heard of such a huge incident. What did it mean?

It could only mean that no one else was willing or dared to get involved with her.

The smile on her face froze, and she thought about Faang Yunkang's situation just now: That was the dignified second generation and third generation young master of the Fang family from the Jingdu City. After receiving such heavy injuries and being hospitalized, other than the medical personnel that had to be present, the ward was empty, not even a person, a flower, or a fruit basket.

Just like those laborers who came to the capital to work after the accident -- it's not as if they were laborers, they're all temporarily accompanied by their fellow workers.

Chu Liangxiao thought about Faang Yunkang's current situation because they were both in the same situation. Whether it was in the hospital or outside, they had already become the plague in others' eyes. They could hide as far away as they could.

Otherwise, Chu Liangxiao's chauffeur wouldn't have taken sick leave to rest at home. Driving would have to be her trusted aide.

Tightly puckering her lips, Chu Liangxiao then asked, "H-how did he die?"

"He died from a heart attack. He died in his sleep."

The secretary softly replied, "I heard that right after discovering his death, R Country suspected that he was murdered in retaliation. The biggest suspect is... is..."

At this point, the secretary lowered her eyes. The name made it difficult for her to say it.

"It's Tang Peng, right?"

Chu Liangxiao, however, said the name that her secretary did not dare to say.

"Yes."

When the secretary saw that Chu Liangxiao did not mind mentioning Tang Peng, she heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "However, when the Enforcer of the Divine Dynasty, who was extremely insistent on the matter of R Country, began to investigate Tang Peng, he found a large amount of evidence that said he was not present. Most importantly, at the scene of Yamaguti Shiqi's death, we didn't find any suspicious points. He is the highest level, there are two super bodyguards guarding the door 24 hours a day, and the monitor in the ward's corridor didn't get any suspicious points. "

"Under the strong request of the R Country, the relevant departments carried out an autopsy and sent the samples back to their local authorities. However, they did not find any signs of poisoning."

At this point, the secretary sounded obviously happy, "All of this means that he died a natural death. Perhaps he had done too much to deserve this, which was why he was taken away by the gods."

Yamaguti Shiqi was definitely the main culprit behind Chu Liangxiao's fall into despair. Not only was he able to vent his anger, the secretary also regretted that he had died too easily: this kind of animal should die, no matter what, he should be tortured.

If she knew about the horrible feeling Mr. Yamaguti experienced before his death, perhaps the secretary would be so happy for her.

"Yamaguti Shiqi died naturally?"

Chu Liangxiao muttered to herself before smiling. "Let's go to the office."

The secretary immediately shut up and started the car.

Soon, Chu Liangxiao appeared in front of the building.

Just like before, in the office buildings and courtyards, people continued to pass by and warmly greeted them.

However, as if they were blind, no one saw Chu Liangxiao and her companion.

Chu Liangxiao didn't mind. With her secretary accompanying her, she walked up the stairs with a calm expression on her face.

As she was walking up the stairs to the second floor, she met quite a few people. They were all her subordinates who wanted to kneel down and lick her toes when they saw her in the past.

When these people saw her, their eyes all stared at her for a moment before continuing to laugh and whisper to each other as they walked down the stairs. On the contrary, it was the cleaning lady who was walking at the back, and just like before, she had a timid and fawning expression on her face as she greeted with great respect, "Prefect Chu, good morning."

Prefect Chu?

At the corner of Chu Liangxiao's eyes, she saw her subordinates stop in their tracks, and then she smiled. "Sister Wang, you're early as well."

If it wasn't for the fact that her son had died from a work injury five years ago (which was when the building was being built), how could a woman from the countryside, who was almost fifty years old, be qualified to spend time with the most elite of these societies?

But now, when the elites of society who called themselves high quality and never even looked at the countryside people in the eye ignored Chu Liangxiao's existence and avoided her like a plague, Aunt Wang became the first person to greet her.

Chu Liangxiao smiled. It was a genuine smile, a very happy smile.

She knew that the reason for her sister-in-law's flattery was because, in the summer, the personnel department was going to cancel her contract. It was when she happened to see the silently crying Aunt Wang packing up her things and leaving that she casually asked this question and then severely reprimanded the personnel department on the phone.

This was the only way to keep her job.

Think of all the blood your son once sprinkled on the floor of this spacious and bright office.

Chu Liangxiao's words were firmly engraved in her mind. She also told her little daughter that she must remember the long term of Chu Zhai.

Of course, although Aunt Wang was an uncultured woman from the countryside, it did not mean that she was stupid. She could tell what kind of retribution Chu Liangxiao was going to suffer. Her dismissal was probably the lightest, and she might even be invited to tea.

And at this time, all those who dared to take the initiative to greet her, even if she was a janitor, would receive the 'proper' blow after she was appointed as the new Superior: this was an unspoken rule, and everyone understood it.

Aunt Wang also understood, but she still greeted them, and guarded those social elites.

Chu Liangxiao didn't know that in order to greet her, Aunt Wang had deliberately been looking for her for days, but she had never had the chance to do so until today.

Chu Liangxiao didn't know that this was the only way for a simple and honest country girl like her to express her gratitude. Not everyone was avoiding her, and there was also a cleaner who remembered her well.

Besides that, Sister Wang couldn't give Chu Liangxiao any more.

Lily didn't know any of this.

All she knew was that, since she had assumed this position, many people had been recognized and promoted by her (she was, after all, a courtier and a courtier), and that the favour that she had received from Chu Liangxiao was nothing compared to those people.

But now, after Chu Liangxiao had fallen into a desperate situation, the only person who greeted her was Aunt Wang, a country woman.

The modern world might be heartless, but if they could get a bit of warmth, then even the lowliest and most heartfelt of people would feel it. They would feel that the world was actually quite a beautiful place.

Chu Liangxiao held her chest high and stomped into her office with her secretary on her high heels.

Chu Liangxiao's office was on the same floor as her political enemies' offices (since the location was more expensive than gold, the offices of the first and second leaders were all on the same building).

As soon as she walked into the corridor, Chu Liangxiao saw at least 15 leaders waiting at the door of the office like grandchildren. They had fawning smiles on their faces as they waited to receive her.

The door to his office was empty.

In the eyes of his secretary, the smiles on their faces were like numerous knives stabbing fiercely into Chu Liangxiao's vitals.

However, Chu Liangxiao didn't seem to feel any pain as she calmly walked into the office.

Standing at the door and looking at the familiar scene in the office, Chu Liangxiao was stunned for a moment before sighing softly. She instructed the secretary, "Ai …" "Let's pack up."

"Pack up?"

The secretary was stunned for a moment before he came to a realization.

Chu Liangxiao, who had spent so many years rolling around in office, had developed a keen sixth sense and decided that there would soon be a visit from her superiors — to get her out of this office, to go where she was supposed to go.

Chu Liangxiao asked herself, no matter what her position was, she had never done anything to let the people down.

But that was no longer important.

The important thing was that even if she made irreplaceable contributions to the country, it was time to end the curtain.

This was the price of betrayal.

Since she was about to leave, why didn't Chu Liangxiao pack her things in advance?

The secretary started to pack her things while Chu Liangxiao walked to the window and opened the curtain.

As soon as the curtains were pulled back, the bright sunlight fell on her.

The winter sun was bright but not hot. Warmth was comfortable as it sprinkled over his body.

Chu Liangxiao liked this feeling of relaxation and comfort. After exhaling a long breath, she closed her eyes and remained motionless for a long time.

"Superintendent Chu."

The secretary, who was packing her things, suddenly walked to Chu Liangxiao's side and handed something to her.

This was a work log made out of plastic. Chu Liangxiao had brought it over from Shen City.

On the second page of the cover, there was a photo.

It was a picture of a young man.

The man in the photo was laughing. His laugh was very candid and had a very despicable look to it. His pair of eyes were slanted in a crafty manner, as if he was peeking at something.

Chu Liangxiao's heart skipped a beat when she saw this picture. A hint of red surfaced on her face.

Of course she knew what this thief who looked like was peeping at: it was even Tang Peng who had once gone out with her to play at Shen City, using the identity of a lover.

It was summer, and Chu Liangxiao was wearing a tugging dress. When she was taking photos of Tang Peng, the naughty spring breeze blew her skirt up, causing someone's eyes to immediately widen.

That was the moment.

An enchanting moment.

So enchanting that Chu Liangxiao, despite the danger, washed out the photo and posted it on her work log.

Later on, she brought this notebook along with her after she worked for Lai Jingducheng. She recalled the moment when she was happy.

However, due to the terrible things that happened afterwards, Chu Liangxiao forced herself to forget Tang Peng and where the notebook was kept.

Today, while the secretary was packing her things, she found the notebook and saw the photo.

Chu Liangxiao took the notebook slowly and looked at her secretary.

The secretary lowered her head as if she had made a mistake.

"Xiao Soong, you know I wouldn't do that."

Chu Liangxiao rubbed the photo lightly with her right hand, her eyes full of self-mockery. "You hope that I can send someone else to trample on my last shred of dignity?"

She knew that the reason the secretary had shown her this photo was because he wanted her to take the book and go find Tang Peng — to give him a hand, for the sake of his former happiness.

Currently, only Tang Peng could avoid such a disaster.

Don't forget, when Chu Liangxiao was able to get Lai Jingducheng back then, it was definitely related to Tang Peng.

"I'm sorry."

Secretary Xiao Soong knew what she had done wrong and apologized in a low voice.

"It's fine."1

As Chu Liangxiao closed her notebook, someone knocked on the door.

Without waiting for Xiao Soong to open the door, the door was pushed open and a few cadre like men appeared at the door.

What should come, finally came.

The corner of Chu Liangxiao's eyes twitched as she smiled and said, "Director Zhang, please come in."

Unlike Chu Liangxiao, Xiao Soong's face was pale.
