Chapter 002: The Unruly Younger Brother
After taking a shower at home, Lin Hao lay on the bed, trying hard to recall last night's events. Piecing together memories from his previous life, he vaguely guessed the mastermind behind it.
This person was named Luo Zhijun. Both were sons-in-law of the Su Family, making them brothers-in-law. Unexpectedly, he had plotted against Lin Hao.
In the previous life, after this scandal was exposed, it was he who instigated his wife, Su Muyun, to divorce Lin Hao, causing his family to be broken apart.
In this life, Lin Hao swore he would take revenge!
After breakfast, Lin Hao went to the county committee office as usual and was stopped by Director Tian as soon as he entered.
"Xiaolin, hurry up, Secretary Li is looking for you," Director Tian said coldly.
When Zhang Jianming was in office, Director Tian used to refer to him respectfully as Secretary Lin. Now with Zhang Jianming out, it had downgraded to "Xiaolin."
What a snobbish guy!
Lin Hao frowned. He really wanted to retort, but ultimately he held back and turned to walk towards Li Jingyi's office.
He knocked on the door and only pushed it open when he heard Li Jingyi's voice from inside, granting permission.
He saw a capable beauty in a black suit, with the national emblem on her chest, sitting at the desk, her bright eyes looking over.
Li Jingyi didn't speak and just gestured for Lin Hao to close the door.
Having lived two lives, Lin Hao wasn't the least bit flustered. He walked over slowly, his mind filled with images from last night with the beautiful secretary. He couldn't help but glance at her devilish figure.
Such a stunning beauty, with fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs, curvy build, exuding the charm of a mature woman.
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyeballs!" Li Jingyi immediately noticed his wandering eyes.
"If Secretary Li is willing to dig them out, then go ahead," Lin Hao replied slyly, moving closer.
"Lin Hao, stop fooling around, this is the office," Li Jingyi glared at him intensely.
"So, what do you need from me?" Lin Hao straightened up.
"Lin Hao, I reviewed your resume. I never realized you were Secretary Lin's son," Li Jingyi said, quite seriously.
"You... you know my dad?" Lin Hao was surprised.
"Who doesn't know the famous Secretary Lin of the Discipline Inspection Commission?" Li Jingyi smiled coyly.
The charming smile of the beautiful secretary brought a springtime glow to the room. Lin Hao felt as if everything lit up in front of him, and he seemed enraptured.
"Dad works at the city Discipline Inspection Commission. He's so busy that I rarely see him. I hadn't expected…" Lin Hao suddenly felt a wave of sadness.
Lin Hao's father, Lin Yi, was previously the Discipline Inspection Secretary of Wuning City. After graduation, he originally planned for Lin Hao to gain some experience in Wucheng County before promoting him. The most up‑to‑date version is on M4VLEMP4YR.
Relying on his father's relationship with the former county committee secretary Zhang Jianming, Lin Hao secured a position as the secretary to the county committee secretary.
Unfortunately, Lin Hao's father had a car accident last year, and now Zhang Jianming had been taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission.
In other words, all of Lin Hao's backing had collapsed.
In the previous life, he discovered something suspicious about his father's death and had investigated some matters, but ultimately, he was silenced.
As for the three people who killed him, Lin Hao vowed to make them pay in blood!
In this rebirth, Lin Hao's worldview shifted significantly. He was no longer the naive, kind-hearted guy but a fierce beast lurking in the dark.
"By the way, our families have some connection. When Uncle Lin was alive, I met him," Li Jingyi said earnestly.
"Really? Does that mean I have another sister?" Lin Hao was overjoyed.
"I don't want a disrespectful younger brother like you!" Li Jingyi thought of last night's escapades and rolled her eyes at him.
However, last night this younger brother was truly committed, making her legs sore and her lower body still tingling, with some fluid still coming out.
Since her divorce, Li Jingyi had been alone, usually appearing aloof. In truth, she also had physical and emotional needs.
Thinking how she had slept with such a young and handsome brother made her feel a secret glee, eager to battle with Lin Hao once more and see whose prowess was greater?
"Jingyi, my mother passed away early, and my father's gone too. You're my only family now. You must look out for me!" Lin Hao shamelessly played the sympathy card.
"Alright, I'll look after you like a sister should. However, I don't want our relationship to be public. It's not good for your career," Li Jingyi advised.
"Don't worry, you're always our respected Secretary Li," Lin Hao joked with a grin.
Li Jingyi rolled her eyes again and changed the subject, asking, "How long have you been by Zhang Jianming's side?"
"I've been with Secretary Zhang for over a year," Lin Hao replied honestly.
"Over a year?" Li Jingyi considered it, then said, "In that case, how about you become my secretary instead?"
"Thank you for nurturing me, Leader!" Lin Hao was gleeful.
"Don't rush to thank me. If you're not qualified, I'll replace you anytime," Li Jingyi warned coldly.
"Rest assured, Secretary Li, I'll do my best," Lin Hao responded loudly.
"Last night we were set up. Do you know who did it? Or do you suspect anyone?" Li Jingyi resumed her cold demeanor.
Lin Hao certainly knew it was his brother-in-law, Vice County Chief Luo Zhijun. However, without evidence, saying it would only add trouble.
"Last night there were many people, a mixed crowd. Many toasted us as well. I suspect someone spiked our drinks, but I don't know who," Lin Hao calmly analyzed.
Li Jingyi also tried hard to remember everything from last night, but unfortunately, she couldn't recall who handed her the bottled water.
"Investigate this secretly. I want to know who targeted me," Li Jingyi instructed softly.
"Yes, Secretary Li, I will investigate thoroughly," Lin Hao replied seriously, nodding.
"You can go now. Let Director Tian come in," Li Jingyi waved him off.
Lin Hao quickly got up and left. Once outside, he bumped into the office director in the hallway.
"Hehehe…" Director Tian sidled over sneakily, lowering his voice, "I heard that last night you and Secretary Li… is it true?"
Seeing Director Tian's smirk, Lin Hao's heart sank. Clearly, someone had leaked what happened last night.
No doubt, although the mastermind hadn't caught Secretary Li and me with hard evidence, the events of last night, disseminated as rumors and gossip, still had a certain destructive power.
Furthermore, now that Li Jingyi wanted to promote me to work by her side, it would solidify these rumors even more, making it even harder for Secretary Li to speak.
In truth, by keeping him by her side, Li Jingyi was also worried about this kid going out and talking recklessly, hoping to remind him at all times to keep his mouth shut.
"What do you mean by true or false? What happened with me and Secretary Li?" Lin Hao feigned confusion.
