The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 365: If I Lie to You, May I Have No Descendants to Continue My Line

Chapter 365: Chapter 365: If I Lie to You, May I Have No Descendants to Continue My Line

With a cold snort, Du Minli appeared utterly disdainful.

"Chen Bin does have some abilities; I won’t deny that. But the achievements he’s made so far are entirely due to others hyping him up. Even the tiniest bit of credit becomes headline news—it’s nothing short of ridiculous!"

Grinning broadly, Xiong Wubing was very pleased with this response.

As a political rival, the worse Chen Bin’s reputation, the better it was for him.

"Then tell me, what’s your opinion of me?"

Du Minli didn’t hesitate; flattering words rolled off her tongue effortlessly.

"Although I don’t know much about Secretary Xiong, I’m well aware that you’re destined for great accomplishments in the future. After all, temporary postings are meant for honing one’s abilities. The top seat of Dragon Mountain County seems like it was made for you!"

After hearing this, Xiong Wubing felt as if he were walking on air.

He raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Du, I toast to you!"

The two of them drank quite a bit over the course of the evening.

After leaving the hotel, they each returned to their respective accommodations.

But not long afterwards, Du Minli appeared in a strappy short dress, swaying her curvy hips as she gently knocked on Xiong Wubing’s door.

Seeing her dressed so seductively, Xiong Wubing felt his breath hitch and his eyes glaze over.

Although Liao Ruoji was prettier than Du Minli, the latter had a wild, provocative charm.

And a woman who was both uninhibited and beautiful carried a fatal allure for men.

Looking at Xiong Wubing’s dazed expression, Du Minli chuckled flirtatiously and asked:

"Secretary Xiong, what are you staring at?"

Xiong Wubing suddenly realized he had lost his composure.

He hurriedly asked, "County Magistrate Du, what brings you here?"

"I need a small favor, but it’s not really appropriate to talk about it out here."

"Alright, come on in then!"

Xiong Wubing moved aside and invited Du Minli into his room.

Watching her round, firm hips, he couldn’t help but swallow hard.

Once the door was closed, not even ten minutes passed before it was suddenly flung open.

Moments later, Du Minli dashed out stark naked, clutching her chest as she ran.

"Help! Xiong Wubing... Xiong Wubing is trying to assault me!"

Her cries quickly roused the neighboring guests, who opened their doors to look.

Everyone saw Xiong Wubing, pants in hand, chasing after Du Minli.

She fled into her own room, where she locked the door. Xiong Wubing relentlessly banged on it, unwilling to give up.

But as minutes passed and the crowd around them grew larger, Du Minli showed no intention of unlocking the door.

Xiong Wubing, seeing the increasing number of onlookers, had no choice but to retreat to his own room in frustration.

The next day, this scandal spread like wildfire throughout Dragon Mountain County.

Du Minli didn’t let the matter rest. She went straight to Tianhai to file a complaint.

The Municipal Committee treated the incident very seriously and immediately sent investigators.

Xiong Wubing, of course, denied everything vehemently.

But as evidence was gathered, it became undeniable that Xiong Wubing had indeed tried to assault Du Minli.

Since Xiong Wubing was an official temporarily assigned from the Imperial Capital, Tianhai dared not handle the matter directly.

Thus, Cao Sanjin reported the issue to the Provincial Committee’s top leaders. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The Provincial Committee quickly contacted the Ministry of Agriculture, which in turn informed Xiong Guoqiang.

Xiong Guoqiang was deeply shocked to learn of the incident.

He couldn’t believe his grandson would do such a thing.

But further investigation confirmed the allegations against Xiong Wubing.

The whole affair infuriated Xiong Guoqiang, but since it involved his own grandson, he couldn’t simply stand aside.

If handled according to the rules, Xiong Wubing’s career would be completely ruined!

After much deliberation, Xiong Guoqiang personally called the Yanxi Provincial Committee Secretary.

He asked for the matter to be downplayed, to pacify the aggrieved female official, and assured that the Ministry of Agriculture would recall Xiong Wubing.

With Xiong Guoqiang personally intervening, the issue naturally didn’t escalate further.

When word of this reached Cao Sanjin, he promptly dismissed Xiong Wubing.

Soon after, Chen Bin naturally rose to become Dragon Mountain County’s secretary of the County Committee.

Imperial Capital, the Xiong family residence.

Xiong Wubing knelt before the family’s ancestral shrine as Xiong Guoqiang pointed at him and scolded furiously.

"You wretched fool! I sent you to train for two years, and here you are, making a mockery of yourself! How dare you... How dare you assault a woman! You’ve completely disgraced the Xiong family!"

Faced with Xiong Guoqiang’s raging fury, Xiong Wubing trembled uncontrollably.

He quickly tried to explain, "Grandpa, I... I was framed!"

With a furrowed brow, Xiong Guoqiang roared in exasperation:

"Speak! What on earth happened?!"

Without delay, Xiong Wubing recounted the events in detail.

That night, after Du Minli entered Xiong Wubing’s room, she began seducing him.

Though Xiong Wubing was in his thirties, he had no prior experience with such an experienced woman.

He gave in immediately.

Du Minli, taking advantage of his hesitation, quickly undressed both of them.

Xiong Wubing, having gone too long without touching a woman, was already burning with desire.

Coupled with the influence of alcohol, his mind became muddled.

Just as he held his "caterpillar," ready to enter Du Minli, she suddenly fled.

What followed was the spectacle everyone witnessed, which cemented his reputation for assaulting women.

Xiong Guoqiang was still skeptical of his story.

"You little brat, are you sure you’re not lying to me?"

Xiong Wubing immediately responded earnestly.

"Grandpa, I swear on my life—if I’m lying, let me lose all offspring..."

"Shut up! Fine, I believe you!"

"Yes, when the incident happened, I knew immediately that it was Chen Bin scheming against me. That guy uses his status as Cao Sanjin’s future son-in-law to do as he pleases in Dragon Mountain County. He did this just to drive me out!"

"Chen Bin? I’ve heard of him. Rumor has it he’s quite competent at his job."

"He is competent, but he’s also cunning and manipulative. Over the past two years in Dragon Mountain, I realized he’s exceptionally shrewd and composed—like a veteran who’s spent decades navigating political waters."

"So, being outplayed by him doesn’t leave you feeling particularly aggrieved, does it?"

"Getting framed is frustrating, but Chen Bin is too cunning—losing to him is something I can accept."

In truth, Xiong Wubing held a certain admiration for Chen Bin.

If not for Liao Ruoji’s dislike of the man, Xiong Wubing wouldn’t have wanted to make him an adversary.

At this point, Xiong Guoqiang voiced his own doubts.

"If I were you, I’d find a way to get someone like him on our side. Why did you choose to oppose him?"

"I did think about recruiting him, but since Ruoji doesn’t like him, I... Sigh!"

"You mean to say, you broke off relations with someone potentially useful just because a woman didn’t like him? Xiong Wubing, do you think that was worth it?"

"It wasn’t worth it!"

Casually brushing off the question, Xiong Wubing asked in turn:

"Grandpa, since things have already reached this point and Chen Bin and I are irreconcilable, shouldn’t we take action against him? Otherwise, outsiders might think the Xiong family is easy prey!"

With a slight nod, Xiong Guoqiang’s expression darkened with anger.

"Hmph, how dare he frame my grandson? This Chen Bin—I won’t let him off the hook!"
