The Invincible Son-in-law

Li Jingyi gave him a sideways glance and cursed, "You brat, your sister won't get jealous. We're all adults here, we each get what we want, so don't feel any pressure."

"As long as sister doesn't get jealous, I'm fine with it. Life is short, let's seize the day and enjoy being together happily." Lin Hao seemed very relaxed.

Lin Hao had slept with this beautiful sister, and it amounted to both getting what they wanted. Truly, there shouldn't be any undue pressure.

Especially considering Lin Hao was a married man, and Li Jingyi wasn't asking him to take responsibility. They were merely in pursuit of physical excitement.

However, Lin Hao was indeed skilled at pleasing people. These days, he had made Li Jingyi so comfortable, even her menstrual cycle arrived on time.

"Liao Jiarong, the deputy general manager, is a strong-willed woman, quite haughty, an aging bachelorette. She showed a lot of interest in you last night. You can build a good relationship with her, but do pay attention to boundaries and limits to avoid any scandals," Li Jingyi reminded.

"Rest assured, Secretary Li, I have principles and party loyalty." Lin Hao confidently replied.

Party loyalty?

This brat—when you were fooling around with me last night, where was that party loyalty?

Li Jingyi didn't expose Lin Hao's true nature, simply saying lightly, "Be careful! Safety first!"

The implication was, if you're going to mess around, be smart and avoid getting caught.

Lin Hao naturally understood this point and nodded, "Got it!"

At that very moment, the phone on the desk rang. After answering it, Li Jingyi's face suddenly turned very unpleasant. This text was acquired from M|V|L0EMPYR.

Smack!

Li Jingyi hung up the phone and looked at Lin Hao, seemingly contemplating how to tell him the news.

"What's wrong, Secretary Li?" Lin Hao frowned.

"Secretary Zhang has passed away!" Li Jingyi said, "He jumped off a building, committed suicide!"

"What?" Lin Hao felt his world spinning, and he blacked out momentarily.

"Lin Hao, are you alright?" Li Jingyi became nervous seeing him like that.

"I…" Lin Hao took a deep breath to calm himself and said, "Just a bit surprised, that's all."

Secretary Zhang committed suicide, putting an end to his corruption and bribery scandals, leaving Lin Hao unaffected henceforth.

Except Lin Hao was puzzled—without solid evidence from the commission, Secretary Zhang didn't have to die!

Recently, it was reported that Secretary Zhang was saved from a suicide attempt; how could he suddenly jump off a building again?

Countless speculations flickered through Lin Hao's mind, suspecting something suspicious about Zhang's death, yet silently lamenting the harshness of political struggles.

Now the issue was, with Secretary Zhang gone, what would happen to his daughter Zhang Yuanyuan? She must be devastated!

Lin Hao dared not to dwell further…

Li Jingyi calmly remarked, "Secretary Zhang's death is a good thing—his past misdeeds won't be chased after anymore, allowing many people to sleep peacefully."

"If there's nothing else, Secretary Li, I'll go arrange for the meeting." Lin Hao seized the chance to leave.

"Go ahead, but remember confidentiality!" Li Jingyi reminded.

"Understood." Lin Hao left her office, feeling somewhat lost.

His strong intuition told him Zhang's death was related to some things left behind by Zhang, and those were the direct cause of his death.

Lin Hao only glanced at part, but it involved many city and county level leaders, even provincial leaders.

Now he held these time bombs, potentially capable of utterly destroying him at any moment.

Lin Hao surmised Zhang Jianming must've used these things to threaten some big figures, leading to his demise.

After all, with bribery and corruption, if you return the stolen items and money, the party policy is lenient enough to pose no danger to life.

Lin Hao returned to his office, immersing himself in work to dispel sorrow in his heart, and had to act as if nothing happened with a professional smile.

He dared not call Zhang Yuanyuan because he had no idea what to say.

Primarily, the city commission had taken confidential measures regarding Zhang Jianming's suicide, not rushing to announce it.

Until after work, news arrived—Secretary Zhang Jianming died of a sudden heart attack during the investigation.

Perhaps it was because Luo Zhijun was released today, his father-in-law felt good and specifically asked Su Muyun to call Lin Hao, inviting him for dinner at home after work.

Last time, Lin Hao forced himself on Su Muyun, and although she was unwilling, she was ultimately coerced.

However, an increasingly vain Su Muyun, now introduced by Peng Yunyan to some city leader, paid even less attention to Lin Hao.

Just then, Zhang Yuanyuan's call came through.

"Sob... Lin, my dad... his heart disease... he's gone!" Zhang Yuanyuan was crying uncontrollably.

"What? Secretary Zhang has passed away?" Lin Hao pretended to be shocked.

"Yes, the city commission just called, saying dad had a sudden heart attack during the investigation and was sent to the hospital but couldn't be saved... Sob..." Zhang Yuanyuan was heartbroken.

Lin Hao felt pained as well but could only console, "Yuanyuan, don't be sad. You still have Brother Lin, and Brother Lin will take care of you."

"Brother Lin, how did dad pass away? How could he leave me alone? Sob..." Zhang Yuanyuan cried out loudly.

"Yuanyuan, don't worry, Brother Lin will come find you right away." Lin Hao felt a bit concerned for her.

He quickly left after speaking and drove straight to Wuning City, rushing to Zhang Yuanyuan's neighborhood.

When Zhang Yuanyuan saw him, she was heartbroken and threw herself into his arms, crying loudly.

Lin Hao felt her softness pressing against his chest, rubbing back and forth, but he had no ulterior thoughts now, only wanting to calm the beauty down.

So he helped Zhang Yuanyuan into the room, let her lie down on the bed, and stayed by her bedside.

"Yuanyuan, don't be sad. Brother Lin will be your family, and Brother Lin will take care of you." Lin Hao held her hand and gently comforted her.

"Brother Lin... Sob..." Zhang Yuanyuan tightly embraced him.

Lin Hao never expected Secretary Zhang to end his life this way; the sudden change left him feeling devastated.

For now, he could only care for Yuanyuan, repaying Secretary Zhang's spirit in heaven.

Yuanyuan slowly drifted to sleep, Lin Hao closed the door and called Su Muyun, saying he was busy with work and wouldn't return.

"Work? You're probably working it on some woman's bed, aren't you?" Su Muyun was furious.

"Don't accuse unfairly! I really have work, busy with the economic census." Lin Hao had to fabricate a reason to fool her.

"Economic census? In Wuning City?" Su Muyun angrily retorted.

"Did you send someone to follow me?" Lin Hao's expression changed.
