The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 366: Do You Have Any Conscience Left at All?!

Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Do You Have Any Conscience Left at All?!

Since becoming the secretary of the County Committee, Chen Bin had no rivals left in the entirety of Dragon Mountain County.

Not even a potential opponent existed.

Yet, he couldn’t feel any joy.

Chen Bin knew that if Cao Sanjin fell, the one to suffer next would undoubtedly be him.

Unfortunately, his words carried no weight, and he had no say in matters concerning the municipal party secretary.

All he could do now was put his full focus on work and study.

He hoped to raise the living standards of the people of Dragon Mountain County during his term as much as possible.

That way, when the time came to leave, he could do so with a clear conscience.

Ever since Jiang Pu was taken away by the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Commission, Jiang Ninghan’s health had begun to deteriorate day by day.

When she finally learned that Cao Sanjin had also been implicated in the matter, she collapsed onto her bed, crying her eyes out every day.

It was then that Jiang Ninghan finally felt regret—she shouldn’t have spoiled her younger brother so much.

If she had heeded Cao Sanjin’s advice and allowed life’s realities to toughen Jiang Pu’s character, things might not have turned out this way.

Even though Cao Sanjin was furious about the situation, Jiang Ninghan was still his wife.

Unable to bear it anymore, he finally took Jiang Ninghan to the hospital.

While waiting for her test results, they happened to run into Yuan Qian.

Yuan Qian and Jiang Ninghan had crossed paths before; their relationship was average, but they could at least be considered old acquaintances.

When Yuan Qian saw Jiang Ninghan, who looked utterly worn out, she seemed quite surprised.

"Jiang, what’s wrong with you?"

Forcing a faint smile, Jiang Ninghan replied.

"I haven’t been feeling well lately, so I came to the hospital for a check-up."

"Have the results come out?"

Handing over the test results she had received, Jiang Ninghan let Yuan Qian take a look.

After examining them, Yuan Qian smiled and said.

"Fortunately, it’s nothing serious. Jiang, you need to take care of your emotional well-being; being in a bad mood can make you sick easily!"

"Got it. Thank you, Dean Yuan."

Since Cao Sanjin had gone to the restroom and wasn’t nearby, Yuan Qian curiously asked.

"Jiang, why did you come to the hospital alone? Where’s Chenxi?"

"She’s busy with work every day. I came by myself; it’s no big deal."

"I see. How old is Chenxi now? Does she have someone in her life?"

"She’s in her thirties, and she has a fiancé. They might get married in the next year or two."

This immediately ignited Yuan Qian’s gossiping instincts.

"What does her fiancé do?"

"He’s Chen Bin, the secretary of the County Committee of Dragon Mountain County! The young man you often see in news reports—extremely capable. The progress Dragon Mountain County has made is all thanks to him."

When talking about Chen Bin, Jiang Ninghan’s face lit up with a smile, and her entire demeanor visibly improved.

However, Yuan Qian’s brows furrowed, and her expression darkened.

"Chen Bin is your daughter’s fiancé?"

"Yes, why? Is something wrong?"

Clenching her fists, Yuan Qian trembled with anger.

She had always suspected that Chen Bin wasn’t a decent person, but Xu Ruoxuan loved him as if her life depended on it.

And now? She’d even gotten pregnant, while Chen Bin had a fiancée.

Forcing a smile at Jiang Ninghan, Yuan Qian said she suddenly had something to attend to, then turned and left.

Afterward, she immediately called Xu Ruoxuan.

"Have Chen Bin come to your place tonight. I need to speak with him. Don’t tell him it’s me asking to see him."

Startled by the abrupt call, Xu Ruoxuan was a bit at a loss.

"Sister, what’s going on with you?"

"Don’t concern yourself with that. I’ll go to your place after work. If I don’t see Chen Bin there, you’ll see what happens!"

In Dragon Mountain County, inside the secretary of the County Committee’s office.

As Chen Bin was immersed in work, he received a WeChat message from Xu Ruoxuan.

"Brother, come over tonight. I miss you."

"Alright!"

Not sensing anything unusual, Chen Bin responded and continued working.

After finishing work that evening, he immediately drove to Xu Ruoxuan’s home.

Upon arrival, he noticed Yuan Qian was also there.

Just as Chen Bin was about to greet her, he noticed her expression was extremely grim.

He glanced at Xu Ruoxuan, who shook her head cluelessly.

Left with no choice, Chen Bin braced himself and said.

"Cousin, hello!"

Locking her gaze onto Chen Bin, Yuan Qian asked coldly.

"My cousin is pregnant. When do you plan to marry her?"

"Well... I think it’s best to wait until my career stabilizes."

"No way. She’s already over thirty; she can’t wait any longer. You two will get your marriage certificate tomorrow!"

The moment those words were spoken, Xu Ruoxuan’s face lit up with joy.

But, wanting to seem reserved, she reluctantly said.

"Sister, isn’t tomorrow a bit too soon? We’re not ready yet."

"You silly girl! Letting someone take advantage of you, and you’re still counting their money? Shut up!"

Scolded by Yuan Qian, Xu Ruoxuan quickly lowered her head in fear.

Since childhood, the person she feared most was Xu Tai.

After him, it was this cousin.

Yuan Qian wasn’t just beautiful; she also excelled academically.

After she graduated, she successfully married an equally accomplished man.

Now, Yuan Qian was the executive vice dean of the First Affiliated Hospital of Yanxi University, while her husband, Fu Hongtu, was the mayor of Tianhai City.

Xu Ruoxuan had spent her entire life living in Yuan Qian’s shadow.

Noticing something wrong with Yuan Qian’s attitude, Chen Bin cautiously said.

"Getting the certificate tomorrow... wouldn’t that be a bit rushed?"

Yuan Qian abruptly stood up, locking her stern gaze on Chen Bin.

"Answer me. Will you or won’t you marry Ruoxuan tomorrow?!"

Though Chen Bin didn’t have feelings for Cao Chenxi, she was still his official fiancée.

Furthermore, Cao Sanjin was currently the municipal party secretary of Tianhai City, so Chen Bin couldn’t act recklessly.

But facing Yuan Qian’s aggressive stance, he didn’t dare outright refuse either.

The room fell into a tense silence.

Suddenly, Yuan Qian snapped at Xu Ruoxuan.

"Do you see it now? The man you love with all your heart doesn’t even want to marry you! Tomorrow, get rid of the baby. From this moment on, cut ties with him!"

That statement terrified Chen Bin.

Flustered, he said, "Dean Yuan, I truly love my cousin. Why are you doing this?"

"If you love her, then marry her! You’ve been together for so long, and now there’s even a child. Why are you still hesitating?"

"I... I..."

Seeing Chen Bin’s conflicted expression, Yuan Qian sneered.

"Chen Bin, don’t think I don’t know. You’re already engaged to another woman! And now you want to deceive my cousin too? Do you have any conscience at all?!"

"What?!"

Xu Ruoxuan turned to look at Chen Bin, stunned and alarmed.

She vividly remembered Chen Bin telling her that once she got pregnant, the two of them would meet his family together.

How could this be happening now?

Tears streamed down her face as Xu Ruoxuan looked at Chen Bin in disbelief.

"Brother, tell me honestly, are you really already engaged?"
