Chapter 205 Hang Qi is in trouble

Hang Qi felt as if struck by lightning, and stood there in a daze, unable to move.

father?

What did Wang Yilu call the governor just now? Daddy, did he really not hear it wrongly?

The governor was furious when he saw his daughter's reaction. "You've only been out for a short time, and you're actually going against your father just to protect him!"

The governor's rage was simply uncontrollable, and it reached its peak when he saw Wang Yilu defending Hang Qi.

Hang Qi was so smart that she felt a chill down her spine and instantly realized what stupid thing she had said.

Wang Yilu did not accurately understand the reason why her father was angry, and said, "Lord Hang just sent me back, why are you angry with him?"

"Didn't you hear it just now? He is proposing to you now!" The prefect didn't know what to say to Wang Yilu.

Lin Xi reminded with a smile, "Sir, I think Lord Hang is sincere. Don't be so angry. You should listen to what he has to say."

Hang Qi's face turned green. It was obvious that Lin Xi was adding fuel to the fire. The governor was already so angry.

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Xi's words, the governor became even more furious, "Hang Qi!"

Hang Qi's heart was so frightened that it almost stopped working. He fell to his knees with a plop. "My Lord, I said the wrong thing just now. Please don't let it sink into your heart."

"Did you say the wrong thing?" The prefect sneered. Hang Qi thought he was stupid. He clearly said those things on purpose. How could he say them on purpose?

Xiao Yongyan, who was afraid of chaos in the world, said, "Sir Governor, Lord Hang is sincere and a young talent. He and Miss Wang are in love with each other. You might as well consider it carefully."

Hang Qi was filled with despair. Xiao Yongyan simply felt that he was not dying fast enough and was actually adding insult to injury.

"My Lord, this is all a misunderstanding..."

Before Hang Qi finished speaking, Wang Yilu was the first to feel that something was wrong. "What are you talking about? I've been in love with someone for a few days!"

The way Lin Xi looked at the little girl was really a little angry. She instantly realized that these grown men seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Wait a minute," Lin Xi walked up to the little girl, "You don't have any romantic feelings for Hang Qi?"

Wang Yilu was so shocked by Lin Xi's words that she jumped away. "What are you talking about? Isn't Lord Hang a government official? How can it be possible for him and I to be together?"

Now all the men were dumbfounded.

Lin Xi continued to ask, "Just now, Hang Qi said he wanted to marry you, did you disagree?"

Wang Yilu was immediately ashamed and angry. "People say that marriage is a matter of parents' decision. How could I agree to this? I don't have such thoughts at all."

Now that things have come to this, it would be unreasonable for this group of people not to know about this.

The prefect finally breathed a sigh of relief. God knew how angry he was just now. He almost vomited to death when he thought about his daughter following a guy like Hang Qi. Fortunately, his daughter didn't have this idea.

Hang Qi on the side was not so open-minded. After hearing what Wang Yilu said, he immediately felt as if he had been let down. "Miss Wang, you have been living in the county government office for a while. We have had a good chat. I thought you..."

Wang Yilu looked at Hang Qi as if she had heard something incredible. "Lord Hang, I am a poor man who got into trouble in your Lianggu County. Shouldn't the government take care of me? Besides, the people who arrested me have not been caught yet."

As long as his daughter was not brain-defective, the governor would be relieved. He immediately called someone and ordered, "Send the young lady back safely and keep her under strict supervision. If anything goes wrong again, you will lose your heads."

Wang Yilu was immediately unhappy, but what could she do? She could only let herself be taken away obediently.

Hang Qi, who was left behind, felt only darkness before his eyes, and he even felt that a dead end was in front of him.

"Sir, may I have a few words?" Hang Qi said.

The governor had no patience to listen to Hang Qi now, and said indifferently, "I have heard what you said today that you shouldn't have said."

"Sir," Hang Qi kowtowed, his face terrified, "I was just confused for a moment, please don't take it seriously."

After saying that, Hang Qi's subordinate slapped himself mercilessly.

Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan were so shocked by Hang Qi's sudden move that they were speechless.

"Sir, all the mistakes are my fault!" Hang Qi slapped himself again.

Although Hang Qi's applause was extremely crisp, the prefect just watched him perform quietly without any intention of rescuing him.

When Hang Qi saw that the prefect did not react, he knew that no reaction would be the worst reaction.

He has worked so hard to get to where he is today, he can't stop here.

He hardened his heart and slapped himself twice on the face.

To be honest, Lin Xi couldn't bear to watch it anymore. The slap sounded very painful.

However, the prefect was not moved at all. This man had already set his sights on his daughter. How could he still be nice to him?

Seeing that the other party had not responded yet, Hang Qi became even more anxious. He stopped slapping the other party and said to the governor, "Sir, please give me some advice. What can I do to calm you down?"

The governor had calmed down at this time, and just looked at Hang Qi quietly, "What are you talking about, Lord Hang? Just stay in your seat."

Hang Qi stood still, unable to figure out what the prefect meant by his words.

But now he didn't have the courage to ask the prefect what he meant, so he could only figure it out on his own.

After saying this, the prefect turned and left, leaving only his back to Hang Qi.

Xiao Yongyan walked past him with Lin Xi, and kindly explained to Hang Qi what the governor meant, "The governor is saying that it would be great for you to be the county magistrate of Lianggu County for the rest of your life."

After hearing this, Hang Qi felt as if all his strength was drained away and he fell to the ground.

At this moment, he really hoped that Xiao Yongyan was lying to him, but he knew even more clearly that Xiao Yongyan had no need to do so. Only at this moment, Xiao Yongyan was most willing to tell the truth.

Hang Qi only felt an overwhelming despair sweeping over him. He had struggled for so many years and had no other thoughts but the hope of making a name for himself.

Now, he has completely offended the prefect. All he needs is one word from him and there is no hope for him to turn things around in the capital.

It was easy for him to be forgotten in this remote little place, and now he is unpopular. I am afraid that he has lost even the last bit of hope.

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Xi asked Xiao Yongyan curiously, "Does the governor have such great power to interfere in the prime minister's affairs?"

Xiao Yongyan smiled faintly, "That's not necessary. Just pass a message to anyone in the capital, and Hang Qi's future will be over. The prime minister originally sent him far away with no intention of using him, but he himself can't see it and still dreams of returning to the capital one day."

"If he's depressed, he might cause us more trouble." This is what Lin Xi was worried about.
