Chapter Seventy-Three: The Plot to Catch the Deceitful

  "Yang Chen, have you observed clearly?"

  "Secretary Xu, don't worry, I've got this under control, it's just a small matter."

  "Yang Chen, I know you're capable, but this matter is no trivial thing. We must get to the bottom of it and truly grasp it before we can possibly succeed."

  In the current situation, if you want to grasp the problems of cadres, especially leading cadres, there are only two ways to start. One is economic issues and the other is style issues. Economically, it's obvious that there isn't much possibility. It's not that Liu Zhihua doesn't have any economic problems, but Xu Shaojie can't find them. Xu Shaojie wasn't in charge of economic work, even if he was, it would be hard to grasp Liu Zhihua's economic issues. Liu Zhihua's home is not far from the town, and Xu Shaojie doesn't have the ability to keep an eye on cadres going to Liu Zhihua's house. The agency's finances are ultimately Zhang Shiqiu's responsibility, he only signs off on expenses, but doesn't actually audit them.

  Economically it won't work, so we can only think of a way from the perspective of style. Although Liu Zhihua is over 50 years old, his interest in this aspect isn't low, Xu Shaojie has even heard some rumors about it.

  Liu Zhihua's wife is a typical rural woman, average in appearance, can be said to be ugly, and not young anymore. Liu Zhihua must have no interest in her. Xu Shaojie had investigated Liu Zhihua's family situation. After men gain power, they always want to show off, either with money or power. Working at the district level, wanting to say establishing great achievements is a joke. So, it's not surprising that Liu Zhihua has some problems with his male-female relationships. Xu Shaojie thought of this aspect, grasped Liu Zhihua's weakness, and completely knocked him down once and for all, making it impossible for Liu Zhihua to turn over again, and he would never have the opportunity to turn over again.

  Liu Zhihua raped Yu Zihong, according to Xu Shaojie's knowledge, it was in the dormitory of the district office, doing such things. Liu Zhihua would not do this at home, no one is so stupid. So, Xu Shaojie arranged for Yang Chen to secretly monitor Liu Zhihua's every move, and indeed there were discoveries.

  The head of the women's federation in the district, who used to be a private teacher, relied entirely on Liu Zhihua's efforts to enter the district government and step by step from an ordinary staff member to the head of the women's federation. The women's federation doesn't have much work to do, but the district finance still allocates some money to it every year, claiming to strengthen women's work. Xu Shaojie is in charge of the women's federation, but hasn't seen any actual work done by the district women's federation. However, Liu Zhihua often praises the district women's federation for doing a good job at meetings, so Xu Shaojie thinks that the head of the women's federation might be doing a good job behind the scenes.

  Xu Shaojie, of course, did not dare to make a rash judgment. This matter was not trivial, so from a month ago, Yang Chen had accepted the task. This was an extremely confidential matter. Xu Shaojie and Yang Chen had a very serious conversation, and Yang Chen did not hesitate.

  "Director Xu, I've discovered a situation. When the district government is on holiday, Liu Zhihua usually stays in the district government office. There are almost no people left in the office, but the Women's Federation director also stays behind. This has happened twice already. There's no work to be done, so what are they doing staying behind in the district government office?"

  "I know, Yang Chen, this week is about to be a holiday, during the day, you must pay attention and observe, don't expose yourself. You live on the first floor, Liu Zhihua lives on the third floor, you must find a way to grasp the situation and call me in advance. This is my phone number in Huaiyang City, I'm waiting for your news, how to grasp the time well, you know."

  "Secretary Xu, no problem, I've got it covered."

  Xu Shaojie's face revealed a cold smile, this time Liu Zhihua was doomed.

  Liu Zhihua's mood was somewhat irritable, and when he returned home to see his wrinkled old wife, he felt even more uncomfortable. He couldn't help but think of the Women's Federation director, who wasn't particularly beautiful, but had a certain charm. Her skills in bed were excellent, leaving him feeling refreshed every time. The indescribable pleasure was like nothing else mattered. Many women lacked flavor in this aspect, being dry and uninteresting.

  The weekend is just around the corner, and it's been a long time since the district has had a holiday. Work has been tense, and it's not easy to take time off casually. Liu Zhihua has endured for so long, but this time he must take a break. After the holiday, the district government office was almost empty, which would be a good opportunity to secretly meet with the Women's Federation director.

  The husband of the Women's Federation director is a genuine farmer, and Liu Zhihua also finds it strange that such a woman with charm would marry a farmer. Liu Zhihua forgot that the Women's Federation director was also a genuine farmer in the past; if she hadn't had the opportunity to become a private teacher or met him, she might still be in the village now, teaching and farming at the same time.

  On Saturday morning, the district government office announced that it would be closed for a day. The leaders of the district committee and government who were not locals could leave in the afternoon. After hearing this announcement, Xu Shaojie had lunch and went to the bus station to take a bus. It wasn't actually a bus station, but rather a temporary stop for passenger buses.

  Liu Zhihua watched as the leaders of each district committee and government office left, with the cadres leaving a bit later, usually after 4 pm. By 5 o'clock, the courtyard of the district government was very quiet, with almost everyone gone. Liu Zhihua slowly walked towards the cafeteria, where every time he took a break, the chefs knew the rules: Secretary Liu would eat here, and only after he finished eating could they go home.

  Liu Zhihua had just entered the cafeteria when the Women's Federation director followed him in.

  "Secretary Liu, you haven't gone off work yet."

  "Oh, there's still something to take care of."

  Two people ate their meals separately, without any conversation. The master was inside and didn't come out. In the afternoon, they cleaned up quickly and finished soon. The master also wanted to go home early, so it seemed like they could rest at home for a day.

  After dinner, Liu Zhihua strolled around the courtyard. It was still early and some cadres were coming in and out of the courtyard. When they saw Liu Zhihua, they all greeted him warmly. Liu Zhihua nodded slightly. At this time, there was nothing to do, so he went back to his dormitory, but it was still a bit too early. Tonight, Liu Zhihua would not be going home and would sleep in the dormitory of the district office. The head of the Women's Federation would also not go home and would almost certainly spend the night in Liu Zhihua's dormitory.

  Yang Chen stayed in his dormitory, not even going to the cafeteria for meals. He had a treasured item he brought back from the army, a high-definition telescope. At this moment, it was still early, so Yang Chen climbed out of the dorm's side door and headed to the post office to make a call. Judging by the time, Xu Shaojie would take about two hours to arrive at Yudou District from Huaiyang City, which was a relatively suitable time for any action or preparation. After making the call, Yang Chen looked at the time and found it was still early, so he bought some mantou (steamed buns) at a nearby convenience store. He hadn't eaten lunch yet and was a bit hungry.

  After receiving the phone call, Xu Shaojie quickly called Sun Zhiqiang. Half an hour later, Sun Zhiqiang arrived at the residential area in his car. Xu Shaojie was already waiting at the intersection. Sun Zhiqiang signaled for the two people in the car to wait and got out of the car himself.

  "Secretary Xu, you're really something, asking us to catch an adulterer. This is a first for us."

  "Director Sun, I'm afraid it's a bother for you, but there's no other way. Here, Director Sun, take this cigarette, thanks for your trouble."

  "Heh heh, Secretary Xu, don't worry about it. Unlocking things has never been a problem for my brothers, but the timing needs to be right. This kind of thing is very secretive."

  "Sun Zhi's team, today is also just a possibility, I don't dare guarantee it will definitely succeed."

  "Haha, of course I know that. The other party won't listen to your arrangements. Tell them to take off their clothes and they'll take off their clothes, tell them to go to bed and they'll go to bed, it's no big deal."

  "Son Zhi Dui, let's set off! This time I'll drive there. When we come back, I still need to avoid it."

  "I know, haha."

  Xu Shaojie and Sun Zhiqiang arrived in Yudu District when it was already dark. The car drove into the town, where there were few people on the streets and most of the shops had closed. When they were still 500 meters away from the district government office, everyone got off the bus.

  "Secretary Xu, we've brought cameras with us. When we take action, it's best if you keep a distance."

  "Sun Zhi, I won't be on site. After bringing you guys over, I'll leave the district office and stay in the car."

  Sun Zhi's team patted Xu Shaojie's shoulder and nodded.

  Yang Chen suddenly appeared from behind, and neither Sun Zhi and Xu Shaojie noticed, giving them a fright.

  "Sun Zhi, Secretary Xu, it's about time. I saw Liu Zhihua just enter the dormitory, with the Women's Federation Director walking behind him. There's no one in the district office, don't go in through the main gate, there's someone on duty, climb in from the side door."

  "Alright, I'll take the people in. Xiao Yang, you lead us to the location and then exit from the side door and wait outside. The time is one hour. If we succeed, someone will come to open the car and enter the district office courtyard. If we fail, we will exit from the side door."

  Xu Shaojie nodded, watching Yang Chen lead Sun Zhi and two others disappear into the night. Xu Shaojie lit a cigarette and got into the car, his hands trembling.

  Liu Zhihua entered the dormitory and became impatient, the whole building was very quiet, everyone had left, 10 minutes later, the Women's Federation director pushed open the slightly ajar door and came in. The Women's Federation director turned around to close the door, Liu Zhihua had already pounced from behind, embracing the Women's Federation director in his arms.

  "Secretary Liu, don't be in such a hurry, there's plenty of time."

  "Can't you hurry up? I've been holding it in for so long."

  Liu Zhihua's hands couldn't wait to reach into the Women's Federation director's clothes, quickly and accurately finding her weak point, and began to rub vigorously. The Women's Federation director seemed accustomed to it, stretching one hand towards Liu Zhihua's lower body. Liu Zhihua's lust was rapidly stirred up, and he stretched one hand towards the Women's Federation director's lower body as they hugged each other and entered inside.

  Soon, the sound of cows panting and groaning came from inside.

  "Director Liu, you're still so formidable."

  "Hmph, this old engine of mine starts slowly, but once it's going, you'll have a hard time stopping me, and it won't die down anytime soon..."

  Squad leader Sun and two police officers arrived outside the room unnoticed. At this moment, Yang Chen had already left, and it was very quiet inside the building. The sounds of Liu Zhihua and the Women's Federation director's flirtation and heavy breathing could be heard coming from the room, faintly audible from outside. In the darkness, Squad leader Sun nodded to a police officer, who took out something from his upper pocket and inserted it into the keyhole, easily opening the door.

  Liu Zhihua was working hard, enduring for too long. This time, he was full of energy, and the Women's Federation director was accommodating him from below, constantly teasing Liu Zhihua's emotions. The two forgot everything, immersing themselves in unparalleled joy...

  Two police officers appeared in front of Liu Zhihua, the director of the Women's Federation under him suddenly turned pale and let out a sharp cry. Liu Zhihua rushed to the director's side, unaware of the police behind him. The sharp cry made him walk towards them, and all the bullets were shot into the director's body.

  When the police raised their cameras, Liu Zhihua's mind was already a complete blank. The sudden situation made him lose his judgment. He knew what all this meant. After a brief astonishment, Liu Zhihua's first thought was that this matter must not be leaked out under any circumstances.

  Liu Zhihua started speaking in a low voice, and later even cried bitterly, but to no avail. The police ordered the two to put on their clothes, and the car had already stopped in the courtyard of the district office. The courtyard was still very quiet, with no changes, as if nothing had happened. Seeing everything familiar, Liu Zhihua felt a chill in his heart. It was arranged so well, the timing was so accurate, it couldn't be an outsider's doing, it must be Xu Shaojie. Liu Zhihua thought of Xu Shaojie during this time, who had been silent and not contacting him, with a honest appearance, but unexpectedly had such a deep mind.

  As the car started, a few old tears came out of Liu Zhihua's eyes. He knew that everything in front of him would no longer belong to him. From then on, he was going to disappear from the Yu Du District Committee team.
