Gossip about Zou Yunkang keeps popping up one after another, just like WeChat messages with 99+ messages, making people dizzy!
Yan Miao first chose a topic that interested her the most—
Gossip about Mayor Zou's wife, Yao Rong!
[As expected, cities are full of tricks; Yao Rong turns out to be the illegitimate daughter of former mayor Cao Jinshu!]
No wonder! I was wondering why someone would give up being a perfectly good mayor's wife to help the former mayor ruin her own husband. So that's what the connection was!
Yan Miao couldn't help but click her tongue twice, her eyes filled with pity as she looked at Zou Yunkang.
[You're really unlucky, aren't you? Your political enemy is your father-in-law!]
[It turns out that before Zou Yunkang became mayor, former mayor Cao Jinshu had already begun making arrangements to place people around the city's key leaders.]
Some gifts are given discreetly through intermediaries, while those given openly and directly to close acquaintances are given directly! Those leaders are so audacious that practically no one will refuse.
However, everyone knows perfectly well that they're being kept outside the marriage. Either they buy a house for the kept woman to live in, or they directly confront their spouses at home, maintaining harmony between both sides!
[But Zou Yunkang was an oddball; he was completely infatuated with Yao Rong, and after knowing her for only a few months, he actually married her! That night, Cao Jinshu was so happy he couldn't sleep a wink, laughing and cursing him in the study for being a fool, feeling like he had everything under control!]
Cao Jinshu initially sent women to monitor the movements of several important leaders, fearing they would collude with his political enemies to bring him down. However, after receiving notification that Zou Yunkang was to take over as mayor, he was so enraged that he smashed everything in his office!
His resignation was inevitable; he'd reached retirement age and couldn't serve a few more years. He already had the best candidate in mind, planning to secretly appoint a trusted confidant to take over, maximizing his own interests. But then, out of nowhere, someone else intervened!
[Cao Jinshu was resentful, so he joined forces with the men in black to kidnap Old Madam Zou and used a pendant to poison Zou Yunkang, intending to have his own person take over after Zou's death!]
It seems the arrival of the men in black has disrupted the original plot!
Following the original course of events, Cao Jinshu wouldn't have been so bold as to directly kill the new mayor!
Instead, he instructed Yao Rong to secretly place evidence of treason and embezzlement in his office, and then arranged for his own people to report it.
They've pinned a crime on Zou Yunkang that he can never recover from!
Yan Miao was a little curious. Was Yao Rong out of her mind?
It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see whether it's her husband gaining power or her cheap biological father gaining power!
Why does she insist on siding with Cao Jinshu?
Chi Rang casually swirled his wine glass, but in reality, he wished he could press his head as close to hers as possible to listen to Mayor Zou's gossip!
Found it!
What did you find?
Yan Miao scrolled through the panel that no one could see, and also took a few bites of the cold dish.
Cao Jinshu raised Yao Rong as a cheerleader from a young age, instilling in her a distorted ideology that revered her father, and constantly manipulated her. No wonder she was so obedient to him!
She both hated and feared Cao Jinshu, but having been trained by him for so many years, her ingrained servility was impossible to eradicate, which was why she continued to work for him.
Cao Jinshu orchestrated the simultaneous kidnapping and poisoning of Old Mrs. Zou to create chaos! Zou Yunkang was already incredibly busy after taking office; if something happened at home, he would have even less time and energy to pay attention to his health.
Even if he discovers it later, it will be too late to change anything! If he suddenly dies, everyone will be misled into thinking it was due to exhaustion!
【But Cao Jinshu, despite his meticulous planning, overlooked my mother! Hahaha, I'm here to earn merit, I don't care if you're Cao Jinshu or Wang Jinshu, anyone who stands in my way of earning merit is unacceptable!】
After quickly browsing through the information about Yao Rong, Yan Miao's attention was immediately drawn to the information about another person!
He occupies the most entries in Zou Yunkang's gossip!
The name is the most eye-catching!
[Zou Yunliang? He's Mayor Zou's second elder brother!]
How can this guy have so many accolades? Could he be involved in all these things happening to the Zou family?
Yan Miao muttered to herself.
Disharmony among children is often a sign of the elders' lack of virtue!
Chi Rang also joined in the complaints.
Maybe it's because Grandpa Zou is a bad person that he caused discord among his brothers. Look at how Mayor Zou is being treated. If he puts any more makeup on his face, he could play the role of the old corpse in the mountain village!
Thank goodness he didn't say it.
Otherwise, if he and Yan Miao each said one sentence, they could immediately make Mayor Zou furious!
Then it comes in vertically and goes out horizontally!
[Oh my god, something's definitely fishy!]
Zou Yunliang is the second of the three Zou brothers, but he is not the child of Grandma Zou and Grandpa Zou; he is the biological son of Zou Yunkang, the eldest uncle!
When Mr. Zou first entered politics, he was young and impetuous, and his style of doing things made him enemies everywhere.
When Zou Yunliang was not yet one year old, his parents took him back to their hometown for the Chinese New Year, and his grandparents also went. That evening, Zou Yunliang's maternal grandmother suddenly suffered a heart attack and fainted. His parents rushed to see her, so his grandfather lent them his car.
