Chapter 654: Chapter 654

Chen Yuanyuan was driving her own Mercedes G63. With a resolute heart and clenched teeth, she directly aimed at the large Land Rover in front of her that was changing lanes from the straight road to the right-turn lane.

She chose to target those driving such cars, feeling confident in her actions, unrestrained by guilt.

An acceleration past, she didn't care that the other party had already switched lanes; braking was already too late, for she was in the right-turn lane and had activated the right-turn signal.

Of course, she also didn't care about the collision.

The Land Rover's right front corner collided with the left front corner of the Mercedes G63, Chen Yuanyuan had deliberately rushed and swerved to hit it.

At the moment of impact, she jerked the steering wheel hard to the right, causing her car to mount the curb and crash into a flower bed, then she even floored the accelerator, hitting a tree before coming to a halt.

The airbags deployed too, blasting Chen Yuanyuan in the face, and she fainted on the spot.

Because the Land Rover's driver had braked urgently, the damage wasn't severe; the car sustained damage for sure, but the airbags didn't deploy. However, the driver was also extremely frustrated—what miserable luck.

Because according to this situation, she was almost entirely to blame. After all, she had changed lanes without giving way to the straight traffic, even if the straight path was for a right turn and the actual turning spot was still more than a hundred meters ahead, while the Mercedes G63 was still in the process of going straight.

This Chen Yuanyuan, who was plump and sly, really had a vicious streak, using such deceitful means to trap people. She was a pro at deception, unreliable in her dealings—this was a perfect description of such a second-generation rich kid attitude.

What followed was much simpler, thanks to the comprehensive traffic surveillance!

Call 120, report to the traffic police, and fifteen minutes later, Chen Yuanyuan was taken to the hospital by an ambulance.

The last number dialed on her phone was Li Tanglu's, and she hadn't even put the call through when she crashed; it was all intentional.

As a result, based on that number, the traffic police contacted the "Uncle," explaining the situation, indicating facial injuries, a broken nose bridge, two minor fractured ribs, other bodily abrasions, and that she was still receiving treatment and undergoing other exams, but it wasn't serious.

The traffic police also said that when Chen Yuanyuan woke up, she told the doctors, police, and insurance company that she felt somewhat responsible because she was in a rush to help her uncle invite a distinguished guest for lunch, driving too fast, which led to the accident.

The traffic police were saying, "Your uncle really carries clout, look how anxious you, his niece, were. After waking up, you were crying while talking about it!"

That damn Chen Yuanyuan, with every action and behavior, was so skillfully wicked.

She had a car accident!

She was hospitalized!

She had left in fine condition but couldn't make it back!

Such a ruthless act to feign injury!

So then... regarding the issue with Liu Zhizhong, what could the two leaders possibly say?

In fact, Luo Shuxiu made a phone call, and it was only ten minutes after that Liu Zhizhong returned to the villa.

When Liu Zhizhong came back, he told the two leaders that he had something urgent to do, went out to buy a few books about the Party's construction theories, which caused the delay. Well-spun words, quite convincing.

Then, Luo Tianlin and Li Tanglu didn't concern themselves with Chen Yuanyuan's matter. When meal-time arrived, they simply started the banquet; the three of them dined at one table, enjoying good food, especially the ingredients Liu Zhizhong had brought, which were certainly part of the meal. Luo Tianlin's Yangjiang Stinky Salted Fish was also served, and it was really delicious. The most update n0vels are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱

At the dining table, once the 35-year-old Moutai was opened, they naturally drank a little.

Liu Zhizhong handled things smoothly and firmly, leaving Li Tanglu quite satisfied, feeling that this young man was indeed worthy of Luo Tianlin's praises, possessing some real substance—political knowledge, interpersonal skills, and even the etiquette of drinking, all had bright spots.

Subconsciously, Li Tanglu compared Chen Yuanyuan to him, and genuinely found no comparison to be made, feeling secretly saddened and somewhat annoyed.

But since Liu Zhizhong said he went out to buy books, especially about Party construction, it was a dignified excuse, and Li Tanglu couldn't well rake up the past about Chen Yuanyuan's pressure on Liu Zhizhong.

Right in the middle of the meal, didn't Li Tanglu receive a phone call?

After hanging up, he explained the situation, and the Luo family father and daughter put their worries aside, not pursuing the matter further. In fact, they hadn't even mentioned anything about Liu Zhizhong and Chen Yuanyuan again.

As for Liu Zhizhong, he was shocked, secretly sensing Chen Yuanyuan's accident to be rather coincidental! But he couldn't voice his inner doubts; he just expressed his concern and sympathy, and that was enough.

Throughout the entire gathering, Liu Zhizhong did not reveal any dissatisfaction or negative emotions toward Chen Yuanyuan—indeed, he was very steady. This not only laid a harmonious atmosphere for the gathering but also gave full face to the Old Secretary.

At the very least, after Li Tanglu superficially complained about Chen Yuanyuan's careless driving and his relief that there were no serious injuries, he drank quite happily.

In terms of appearances, within the circle, in the realm of officialdom, that was about right, that was the idea.

Chen Yuanyuan had had the accident merely because she was in a hurry to help her uncle invite someone, all out of genuine concern for the Old Secretary and the guest. She was pardonable, everything was forgivable!

Of course, the Luo family father and daughter, Liu Zhizhong, and many others, all considered Chen Yuanyuan as the Old Secretary's dear niece, but in reality... hehe... there was a bit of a story there!

Li Tanglu was not an incompetent elder. Although he was 76, he had not become muddled, so he particularly inquired about Zhang Zhengchang and Lu Yumei, what Zhang Zhengchang's attitude was, and what Lu Yumei wanted.

Liu Zhizhong naturally didn't hide anything, recounting everything, leaving Li Tanglu quite satisfied.

Lastly, after the meal was finished, Liu Zhizhong stood up to excuse himself, but Li Tanglu said, "Comrade Xiao Liu is leaving, and we shall not keep you. There's something I'd like to entrust to you."

Liu Zhizhong smiled and said, "Of course, Old Secretary. Please, go ahead."
