Jiang Weihua stood there in a daze for a long time before he finally reacted.

His brows were tightly knitted together, his face was full of displeasure, he took a step forward and questioned Wang Songlin, "Director Wang, was it you who asked Li..."

He almost called Li Lin by name, but in front of the two of them, he immediately backed off, his tone stagnated, and he quickly changed the subject, "You took the initiative to report this to County Magistrate Li?"

Those wide-open eyes seemed to want to swallow Wang Songlin alive.

Wang Songlin was so frightened by the question that he trembled all over. He didn't dare to offend anyone, so he waved his hands like rattles to deny it, "It was County Magistrate Li who asked it first!"

As he spoke, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his eyes shifted panickily between Jiang Weihua and Zheng Pei.

Jiang Weihua was startled when he heard this and instantly understood what was going on.

He thought, since it wasn't Wang Songlin who said it, then it must be Zheng Pei who reported him.

Otherwise, why would Li Lin pay attention to such a small matter?

Thinking of this, he glared at Zheng Pei fiercely, stretched out his index finger, and pointed at her from a distance, as if to say, "You're in trouble! Let's wait and see!"

When Zheng Pei heard that it was Li Lin who ordered the withdrawal of the decision to send her to the countryside, a warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart.

Her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and her eyes were slightly red. Although she didn't know how Li Lin knew it, she was really surprised and excited that Li Lin could speak for her without hesitation.

At this time, with Li Lin's support, Zheng Pei once again faced Jiang Weihua's insults and provocations and no longer endured it in silence.

She straightened her back, her chest rising and falling violently, and shouted, "Deputy County Chief Jiang, aren't you going to send me to the countryside? Why are you silent? Aren't you going to force me to obey you? What other despicable means do you want to use against me?"

Wang Songlin stood aside, and seeing Jiang Weihua being humiliated, he couldn't help but be delighted. However, he was afraid that Zheng Pei would offend Jiang Weihua even more, so he kept winking at Zheng Pei secretly, and his eyes seemed to have the words "quit while you're ahead" engraved on his face.

Jiang Weihua was so irritated that his face turned blue and red, and his lips trembled slightly with anger.

He glared at Wang Songlin who was looking down, then glanced at Zheng Pei who stood up straight and fearless, and sneered, "Alright! I didn't expect you two were having an affair... No wonder he defended you so much! Zheng Pei, don't be complacent, we'll see!"

Before Zheng Pei could open her mouth to refute, Wang Songlin became unhappy.

He widened his eyes, glared at Jiang Weihua, and asked, "Deputy County Magistrate Jiang, what do you mean? Who is having an affair with whom? How can you slander someone? Zheng Pei is single, how can you destroy her innocence?"

Jiang Weihua had originally been hinting that Zheng Pei and Li Lin had an improper relationship, but when Wang Songlin questioned him like that, he flew into a rage, and immediately said coldly, "I didn't say anything about you, why are you so anxious? You know whether she is innocent or not!"

After that, he swung his sleeves vigorously, turned around and strode away, cursing before leaving, "Fuck! What the hell! Humph, a slutty woman...what's the point of talking about innocence!"

How could Zheng Pei tolerate this?

Her eyes instantly filled with tears and she rushed over to argue with Jiang Weihua.

Wang Songlin was quick-witted and reached out to stop her.

Zheng Pei was puzzled, her eyes red, and she asked in a tearful voice, "Director Wang, why did you stop me? Didn't you hear him scolding me?"

Wang Songlin sighed helplessly and forced a bitter smile on his face, "Xiao Pei, stop it. He is the deputy county magistrate after all... If things get awkward, you will suffer in the end!"

"I'm not afraid! The worst that can happen is I'll just quit! He won't have a good ending!" Zheng Pei bit her lower lip and said stubbornly, her hands clenched into fists, her body trembling slightly with anger.

Wang Songlin looked solemn and said earnestly, "It doesn't matter whether you do it or not! But you can't ruin your reputation, right? Jiang Weihua just now was clearly slandering you for having something going on with County Magistrate Li Lin... If you run out and yell at him again, the office will be full of people, and they will misunderstand if they hear you! It will affect both you and County Magistrate Li Lin! So don't be impulsive, just be patient for a while!"

"I!..." Zheng Pei wanted to argue, but swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.

She gradually calmed down and realized that what Wang Songlin said made sense.

Reputation is more important than life to a woman, and she is not married yet.

Besides, if Li Lin is implicated for this... that would be even more costly.

Maybe this was Jiang Weihua's evil plot, to deliberately provoke her, and then the two of them started quarreling in the corridor... making everyone misunderstand her and Li Lin!

It's really murderous and heartbreaking, so cruel!

After Zheng Pei calmed down, she slowly sat back in her original seat, with a trace of anger and unwillingness still in her eyes.

Not long after Wang Songlin left, Zheng Pei's cell phone rang.

She looked at the name "Li Lin" and felt mixed emotions.

Her fingers trembled slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she seemed to make up her mind and swiped the screen to answer the call.

Soon, Li Lin's voice came, very calm.

"Director Zheng, I just heard about your situation. It is unreasonable to arrange for you to be stationed in the village. I have already asked Director Wang to take back the documents."

Zheng Pei pursed her lips, feeling a little lost, as if Li Lin was still deliberately keeping a distance from her.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, her eyes reddened again, and she pursed her lips and said, "Thank you... Actually, it's not that I don't want to go down to the village, but this is a conspiracy by some people. I don't want to be a plaything in their hands, so I resisted... I'm sorry to make you worry about me."

Conspiracy? Jiang Weihua's conspiracy?

Combined with Zheng Pei's words, Li Lin quickly understood the whole story.

It was Jiang Weihua who used the excuse of going to the village to force Zheng Pei to do something she didn't want to do!
