Absolute power in officialdom

Chapter 47 The Woman Who Got a Secret Divorce

Tao Sizhong is in his fifties, tall and robust. Unlike other people his age, he has a muscular build because he has been exercising for a long time and has no big belly.

Lin Keke suppressed her panic: "Let's talk in the living room. What's wrong with Tao Yong?"

Tao Sizhong casually said, "Since we're already upstairs, let's talk upstairs."

To Lin Keke's surprise, Tao Sizhong not only went upstairs to the second floor, but also went straight to her bedroom.

"Coco, Xiaoyong doesn't come back often, so I came to check on your room."

Previously, Lin Keke had found Tao Sizhong to be sleazy and unrespectable. Now, coming to her room late at night, she couldn't help but suspect his true motives.

Lin Keke stood at the door, hesitant, wondering whether to go into the bedroom or not.

"Coco, I want to talk to you about Xiaoyong. What are you standing there for? I'm not a tiger, I don't eat people!"

Wu Zhiyuan keenly sensed that Tao Sizhong's late-night visit had ulterior motives.

He was also very nervous.

Although Lin Keke and Tao Yong have divorced, this is a secret.

If Tao Sizhong were to open the curtains and discover him, he would be in a situation where he could never clear his name, no matter how hard he tried!

If Tao Sizhong were to complain to Xu Youwei, he would be in a very passive position.

There was a gap in the curtains, so he quietly took out his phone and started recording a video through the gap.

Tao Sizhong, who had been drinking tonight, leaned against the bed and beckoned to Lin Keke: "Keke, come in!"

Lin Keke still came in.

She knew that if Tao Sizhong made any advances towards her, Wu Zhiyuan would definitely stand up for her.

"Coco, Xiaoyong is gay, did you know that?"

Lin Keke feigned surprise: "Oh! No way?"

Tao Sizhong grinned mischievously: "Coco, stop pretending. I asked Xiaoyong, and he hasn't touched you at all in the past two years."

Lin Keke wanted to vent her anger at being tricked into marriage, but she held back when she thought of how Tao Yong cared for her like an older brother.

"Coco, I only found out last week. Xiao Yong is such a worry. Last week, he went to a club in Jiangzhou and met a male model. They happened to run into a police raid on prostitution and got caught in the act."

After I found out, I resolved the matter. That's how I learned that Xiaoyong had this strange habit.

I was shocked. Why can't he be a normal man? Why does he have to be a troublemaker?

I pressed him for answers, and he admitted to being gay, asked me to keep it a secret, and said that he hadn't touched me in the past two years because he had no interest in women whatsoever.

Coco, you're not still a virgin, are you?

Lin Keke finally realized that Tao Sizhong's visit late at night was not for good reasons.

At this moment, Tao Sizhong's true colors have been revealed.

She said coldly, "This is my private matter, it's none of your business. Do you think it's appropriate to ask this?"

Tao Sizhong sneered, "Private matters? Keke, don't play dumb with me!"

Xiaoyong, it breaks my heart to see you all alone in this empty room!

You are so young, in the prime of your life, how can you live a life of widowhood?

I know what you need. What Xiaoyong can't give you, I can give you!

As he spoke, Tao Sizhong suddenly stood up and pulled Lin Keke into his arms.

"Please show some respect! Don't be disrespectful to your elders! You've made me despise your character!"

"Lin Keke! How dare you insult me! You should understand that without me backing you up, you are nothing!"

How could you become a deputy section chief at such a young age? How could you live in such a luxurious villa?

In Longcheng, there's nothing that Tao Sizhong can't do!

Lin Keke, I advise you to be sensible! Don't refuse a polite offer and end up suffering the consequences!

Lin Keke struggled, but Tao Sizhong's large hands were like iron clamps.

"Lin Keke, you can't escape! Tonight, I want you to be my woman!"

Do you know what? I've had my eye on you for years, but I held back. There are some things I just can't do!

But ever since I learned that Xiaoyong is gay, I have no more reservations! I'm going to fill Xiaoyong's place!

"Give in, and I'll promote you to section chief this year. Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't even be a deputy section chief!"

"I don't want to be an official. I have no interest in being a section chief or deputy section chief. I just want to be a free person and have a normal love life."

"I can be romantic with you! I'm a normal person! Although I'm a bit older, I've been exercising regularly and am strong and healthy. My abilities in that area are no less than those of a young man. You'll see soon enough!"

Tao Sizhong began to undress Lin Keke.

At the critical moment, Wu Zhiyuan pulled back the curtains, jumped off the bay window, and was still holding his phone to take pictures.

He gripped Tao Sizhong's wrist precisely and forcefully with one hand.

"Stop!" Wu Zhiyuan shouted angrily.

"Wu Zhiyuan!" Tao Sizhong was utterly shocked and trembling with rage. "How could you be here? You're lawless!"

Lin Keke was rescued and moved aside.

Tao Sizhong cursed loudly, "You slut! You're keeping a gigolo! This is my villa! I bought it!"

Lin Keke really wanted to say that she had divorced Tao Yong, but she swallowed the words back.

Because she had promised Tao Yong that she would keep it a secret.

She believed that Tao Sizhong would never know that she and Tao Yong had divorced.

Tao Sizhong, relying on his strength, snatched Wu Zhiyuan's cell phone.

Wu Zhiyuan was also strong and young, and had practiced Sanda (Chinese kickboxing). Tao Sizhong was no match for him.

Soon, Tao Sizhong was beaten to the ground.

But he was all bark and no bite. He pointed at Wu Zhiyuan and loudly questioned, "What do you want to do at my house so late at night?!"

I'm going to talk to Secretary Xu in person tomorrow! No, I'm calling him right now!

Wu Zhiyuan was utterly unafraid and sneered, "Tao Sizhong, if you dare to make the call now, I'll post the video online right now! And send it to the Discipline Inspection Commission!"

What I do is not important; what matters is what you just did!

Your disrespectful behavior towards your elders and your lewd actions towards Lin Keke are not only illegal and disorderly, but also constitute a criminal offense! I believe you know more about the law than I do!

Wu Zhiyuan started playing the video.

Tao Sizhong instantly regained consciousness, his face turning from red to green, then from green to white, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

He knew better than anyone that this video was irrefutable evidence that could ruin his reputation and land him in jail! Panic overwhelmed everything!

Tao Sizhong's tone softened, and he pleaded, "Secretary Wu, it's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! I drank too much tonight and got confused!"

I apologize to you, and I apologize to Coco! Please delete the video, and let's pretend this never happened!

I promise I will never bother Coco again! Whatever your conditions, just name them!

Lin Keke didn't want to make a big fuss. Even if the video could be used to punish Tao Sizhong, Tao Sizhong was Tao Yong's father.

Moreover, if this matter gets out, it will be spread by word of mouth, and who knows what version it will eventually become.

Public opinion can be a powerful force.

Lin Keke said, "You can leave now. As long as you don't bother me or make things difficult for Zhiyuan in the future, this matter will be over."

However, if you break your promise, don't blame us for breaking ours!

Tao Sizhong slunk away.

Wu Zhiyuan comforted her, "Coco, he's gone, you're safe now."

Tears welled up in Lin Keke's eyes: "Zhiyuan, if it weren't for you, I would have been defiled by this old scoundrel tonight. Thank you!"
