Chapter 642: Chapter 598: Ambushed (Seeking Monthly Ticket Support)_1
At this moment, Hu Fei was deep in thought. Just now, he didn’t notice. But now, as his classmates mentioned it, Hu Fei also seemed to feel a sense of familiarity.
He pondered, “Gu Jiang, you’re right, I was negligent. Now that you mention it, I also get this feeling. This man with the surname Nie, I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere.”
Just at this moment, Li Min sarcastically remarked, “What a 33 year old Lafite. Have you ever seen one? Everyone can boast. Why didn’t you say it’s a 660-year-old Lafite instead of a 66-year-old one?”
Nie Zhenbang didn’t get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, “My fellow classmate, the reason we call it Lafite is because the Lafite Winery was established in 1354 by a noble named Lafite. Now, it only has a history of 645 years. How could there be a 660-year-old Lafite?”
Li Min’s words not only didn’t make Nie Zhenbang lose face, but this dissemination of knowledge about red wine left the classmates attending the reunion speechless. They were all wondering where Jiang Ruoxuan’s friend came from to know so much about Lafite.
This incident only highlighted Li Min’s ignorance. Li Min’s face turned red hot, as if all the attention in the room was on him, which made him feel humiliated.
At this time, Jiang Ruoxuan stood up and said to Nie Zhenbang who was sitting next to her, “Let’s leave. If I knew this is what this reunion was like, I wouldn’t have come at all.”
Nie Zhenbang smiled at this moment. This woman Jiang Ruoxuan was somewhat crafty. She knew it was inappropriate to address him, so she used such a way to avoid it.
Li Min sneered and mocked, “Just leaving? Jiang Ruoxuan, how will you get home? Are you going to ride your bicycle?”
Li Min was well aware that in Sea-view City, the regulation of the use of public vehicles is strictly enforced. Li Min is sure this minor government official would not dare or have the qualifications to use a government vehicle. And such a person, how could they possibly own a private car? Hence, they must be using either a motorcycle or a bicycle.
It seemed that Li Min had found a way to save face. The face of Jiang Ruoxuan turned grim. Ever since, she treated Li Min as her best friend. Yet after two years, Li Min had completely changed. She then said in a stern voice, “Li Min, how did you become like this? I can’t believe it. Consider me Jiang Ruoxuan wrong for life. From now on, you go your way, and I’ll go mine.”
Hearing this, Li Min believed even more that Jiang Ruoxuan traveled by bicycle. Then Li Min disparaged, “Jiang Ruoxuan, these are your words. When you are working at the Sea-view City TV Station, don’t come begging me and Young Master Hu.”
Then, Li Min raised her head and smiled, “Come on, classmates, let’s see what brand of bicycle our ice beauty rides?”
The last four words, Li Min deliberately emphasized. It was clear that Li Min was deliberately trying to embarrass Jiang Ruoxuan.
Meanwhile, the other classmates felt awkward. But they knew Young Master Hu was not someone ordinary. And Li Min was known to remember grudges and to retaliate. What if she transferred her anger to them?
Everyone else also followed suit and left. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang had already taken the initiative to bring his car over. The trident logo, that domineering body, Mercedes’ top-level SUV, priced over two million yuan, left Li Min in an awkward condition.
At this moment, Jiang Ruoxuan calmly got into the car. The two of them drove away.
At this moment, Hu Fei suddenly turned pale. He stood there in a daze and whispered, “Gu Jiang, I know who this man is.”
Seeing the shocked look on Gu Jiang’s face, Hu Fei lowered his voice and said, “This man is the mayor of Sea-view City, Nie Zhenbang. I can’t believe that Jiang Ruoxuan, this bitch, has hooked up with the mayor. I thought this whore really was a pure and clean woman. Turns out, she was looking for a big backer.”
Gu Jiang’s face also changed, he whispered, “Young Master Hu, what are we going to do? We offended Mayor Nie today. Will he…?”
Hu Fei was also nervous at this moment. At this time, Hu Fei had no mood to participate in the reunion. He instantly said, “No, I must rush back immediately. I have to discuss this matter with my old man.”
Hu Fei didn’t dare to hesitate. Without even uttering a greeting, he walked out immediately, drove his Audi A4 from the parking lot and headed off.
When he arrived home, it was still early, barely half-past eight. As Hu Fei entered the house, he put on an uncharacteristically polite demeanor, smiling as he said, “Dad, Mom, I’m home.”
At this moment, Hu Jiawang was seated on the sofa in the center of the living room. Next to him, his wife Liu Guixiang smiled and said, “Little Fei is back. That’s good. He came home so early today, Old Hu, see, our Little Fei is becoming more considerate.”
However, Hu Jiawang merely huffed, discontentedly retorting, “Humph, the excessive leniency of a mother often leads to the ruin of her children. Just look at him, when has he ever been sensible? He barely spends a few days of the month at home. Courting favor when there’s no special occasion rings bells of dishonest motives. And you too, stop accepting all sorts of bizarre gifts. My position might very well fall into ruins because of both of you mother-daughter.”
No sooner had his voice died down than a middle-aged woman with short, wavy hair stood up, roaring at him, “Oh, really, Hu Jiawang? I knew it! You ungrateful worm! You’re tired of your mother and me. Don’t forget! When you were sent to the countryside as an educated youth all those years ago, you wouldn’t have amounted to anything if my dad hadn’t been the head of the commune. You would have been executed as a hooligan a long time ago!”
Hu Fei was already accustomed to such scenes and expected the argument to inevitably end with his father’s defeat. His expectations proved true as Hu Jiawang immediately capitulated upon hearing these words, waving his hand dismissively. “Enough, enough! Why bring up matters old as rotten corn and sesame.”
At the same time, Hu Jiawang fixed his gaze upon Hu Fei, addressing him in a deep voice, “Tell me, what trouble have you stirred up this time?”
Seeing Hu Jiawang trying to change the subject, Liu Guixiang calmed down, turning her gaze towards Hu Fei. At this moment, Hu Fei spoke in a low voice, “Dad, today, I infuriated Mayor Nie.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Guixiang was also taken aback. Although she might be an uneducated countrywoman, she had been a bureaucrat’s wife for many years and had a clear understanding of the inner workings of the system. She slapped her thigh in alarm, saying, “Oh my, my little jewel, of all the people you could provoke, you just had to pick Mayor Nie! Didn’t Shi Yiwu and Lin Zhengxing end up the same way, utterly defeated by Mayor Nie. Even your dad is subordinate to Mayor Nie, yet you managed to offend him like this, what are we going to do?”
The expression on Hu Jiawang’s face grew grave, but he did not panic like Liu Guixiang. Immediately, he said in a deep voice, “You rebellious son, you truly thought you could do anything in Wanghai City, even daring to provoke Mayor Nie. Who else are you not afraid of? Tell me in detail, what actually happened?”
Hearing this, Hu Fei knew that his father would stand by him regardless. Immediately, Hu Fei sat down obediently and recounted everything.
Hu Jiawang was on the brink of collapse. That was definitely daring. No, to be precise, it was recklessly audacious. He actually addressed Mayor Nie as ‘Little Nie’.
After thoughtful consideration, Hu Jiawang couldn’t help but ask, “Little Fei, are you sure it was Mayor Nie you saw? Is he really Jiang Ruoxuan’s boyfriend?”
Hu Fei nodded resolutely and said, “Dad, I saw it clear as daylight; it was absolutely Mayor Nie. It was a Mercedes-Benz G550 with a military license plate from Jiangzhou Military District. There’s only one of such in Wanghai City, which belongs to Mayor Nie’s wife Yang Anna. I’m absolutely certain, it has to be Mayor Nie. And from what I saw, Jiang Ruoxuan appeared affectionate towards him. She’s surely seduced Mayor Nie and become his lover.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Guixiang let out a sigh of relief, saying, “I thought it was something else. If that’s the case, Little Fei, what’s there to be afraid of. We simply have to expose this matter, and Mayor Nie will likely have to consider his future and reputation.”
The moment her words trailed off, Hu Jiawang was quick to denounce her, “A woman just talks! What do you know? There’s no direct evidence that unequivocally proves it was Mayor Nie. What can you do to Mayor Nie? However, if it was indeed Mayor Nie, he probably won’t take any action. We all just pretend not to know.”

Seeing that he wouldn’t get into trouble, the resentment inside Hu Fei surged up again. With a shift in his expression, he said in a low voice, “Dad, this time you should reward me. If it hadn’t been for me, how could we have unearthed such a secret?”
After a pause, Hu Fei couldn’t help but chuckle and say, “Dad, think about it. Who despises Nie Zhenbang the most in Wanghai City right now?”
“I suppose it should be Tian Xujian,” Hu Jiawang responded. “Secretary Tian is the top official, but he has to suffer in silence like a wronged wife. At this point, if we were to reveal this scandal to Secretary Tian and it gets out that the Mayor has a mistress who is a prominent reporter from Wanghai TV Station, Nie Zhenbang’s position would be in jeopardy. By then, with Secretary Tian holding all the power, do you have any plans, Dad?”
Hearing the words of his son, Hu Fei, Hu Jiawang also felt a pang of excitement. He had originally thought that once Nie Zhenbang became the Mayor, he would at least become a deputy mayor and committee member, but he was disappointed by the outcome. Li Xiangtian became the executive deputy mayor, and now, he has been promoted to be the mayor of Puzhou City. It’s obvious he’s being groomed to take over as the party secretary in Puzhou City, whereas he has been stuck in the same position.
With these thoughts on his mind, Hu Jiawang felt a sense of resentment. After a moment of hesitation, he stood up and said sternly, “Little Fei, come with me.” (To be continued. If you enjoy this book, please recommend and vote for it on WebNovel. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
