Sky-piercing level Good luck

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Min's face turned red instantly.

After a brief silence, Liu Min sighed, "You saw it, too? Then you should understand that I really had no choice."

"Who's to say, Section Chief Liu? You're really quite flirtatious. On a normal day, you act all high and mighty, but who would have expected you to wear something so sexy underneath? Everyone says you're a widow, Liu Section Chief. I wonder who you dress up for on a daily basis?"

Zhou Qing smiled playfully, leaned in a bit closer, and gazed at Liu Min intently.

Liu Min, finding herself at a loss for words, paused before continuing, "Section Chief Zhou, I didn't do it on purpose! I really had no choice; I was pushed too hard by Qin Zhihao. I acted out of desperation, and I regretted it afterward. I'm sorry!"

"Is that so?"

Zhou Qing let out a cold snort. He didn't trust Liu Min's words one bit. Anyone who could make it in the system wasn't simple, especially not the women who were doing well in the system.

He certainly didn't think Liu Min was a naïve and innocent girl.

If he were to believe this woman's nonsense, he wouldn't even know how he died.

"Really, what do I have to do for you to believe me? This was truly my last resort," Liu Min said with an urgent expression, her voice trembling slightly, and her eyes glistened with moisture.

She looked so pitiful that it stirred compassion in one's heart, greatly triggering a man's protective instincts.

"You know what? Qin Zhihao just called me, offered a bunch of apologies, and also told me that it was your idea, Section Chief Liu, that I go to the logistics department."

"Ah! It wasn't me! After you bumped into the fire hydrant box that day, Qin Zhihao didn't dare to do anything, and that's when I took the chance to run out," Liu Min explained eagerly.

She had to do it. Who would have thought that Zhou Qing would suddenly soar high and turn into a phoenix, leaping from logistics to becoming the deputy county head's liaison officer?

"Section Chief Zhou, believe me, it really wasn't my idea. You know about the rumors spreading around the county committee compound, right? The ones saying you are the county head Zhou Weining's cousin, that rumor was deliberately spread by me," Liu Min suddenly revealed this piece of information.

At this, Zhou Qing's eyebrows raised, and he pondered in his heart. Just as he had become the liaison officer, this rumor started circulating. Interestingly, Zhou Weining didn't show any inclination to deny it.

Qin Zhihao? Unlikely!

He would have loved nothing more than to see me dismissed from public office and expelled from the party.

After all, I had witnessed something about him, although there was no substantive evidence, it was still leverage.

Others? Perhaps there was a possibility. The people in the county government and Party committee offices, full of idle gossip, would always look for reasons whenever they saw someone get promoted.

Like how so-and-so's wife is close to a certain leader.

Or seeing someone entering entertainment venues or teahouses with a leader, spreading such trivial rumors.

In a word, in their eyes, there was no normal promotion.

Could Liu Min be responsible for this? Possibly!

But that didn't mean he should consider her a good person. Just like the sting in a wasp's tail, a woman's heart can be the most venomous; having been bitten once, Zhou Qing became very cautious whenever he was with Liu Min.

Thinking to this point, Zhou Qing said, "Section Chief Liu, let's not bother with idle chatter. We don't have a basis for trust between us. Let's leave this matter as it is. I have other things to attend to, so I won't keep you any longer. As for those concerns you have, I can only say you're overthinking it. I'm not that kind of person."

What kind of person? Zhou Qing didn't say it outright. Once the words 'personal vendetta' were spoken, wouldn't it just prove that he had a personal grudge against Liu Min?

Who knows if Liu Min had a recording pen on her.

Thinking about recording devices, Zhou Qing suddenly noticed something. Today this woman had specifically chosen to wear a bright yellow dress, which seemed intentional.

That was her way of telling him that it was impossible for her to have any recording devices on her.

As Zhou Qing turned to leave, Liu Min reached out and grabbed his hand, "Section Chief Zhou, I really had no intention to harm you. I admit I inadvertently hurt you because I wanted to protect myself. But I really didn't do it on purpose. What do I have to do for you to forgive me?"

Zhou Qing stopped in his tracks, "Section Chief Liu, you don't have devices like recording pens or pinhole cameras on you, right?"

"None! If you don't believe me, search me," Liu Min said, boldly sticking out her chest as if saying if you're not at ease, feel free to search me.

Zhou Qing looked around and said, "Let's go to the back of the logistics department, no one goes there."

The two walked one after another, keeping a distance of four to five meters, and arrived behind the office of the logistics department. This area was the most northwestern corner of the entire county government compound, rich in vegetation and visited by almost no one on a regular basis.

Zhou Qing had discovered it during the few days he worked in logistics.

"Section Chief Liu!"

Zhou Qing spoke with a teasing tone.

Liu Min faced Zhou Qing with a complex and conflicted expression. In the next moment, she grit her teeth and abruptly lifted her dress.

Her legs were long, straight, fair, and smooth, indeed free of any devices,

Seeing Liu Min's underwear, Zhou Qing's eyes widened. This woman really did have a very unique taste. The black thong from the other day was enough to stir desire, but today's underwear was even more provocative.
