Chapter 387: Chapter 386, Was I Set Up by You?

"What? My sister’s back?"

Although Bai Yu’s face was just like a peach blossom, and her eyes were full of emotions, the news about her sister’s return instantly made her shiver.

She appeared very flustered and uneasy, afraid her sister would find out about her involvement with Xu Wendong.

"Don’t panic, put on your clothes first, and leave the rest to me!" Xu Wendong quickly handed Bai Yu her clothes, then picked up his own from the floor, put them on, and swaggered out.

"What are you doing here?"

Bai Lu had just changed into her slippers when she noticed Xu Wendong coming out of her younger sister’s room, unable to help her curiosity.

Xu Wendong said, "Chief Bai, your sister called me earlier, saying she felt dizzy and weak, so she asked me to come and take a look."

"By the way, do you have any brown sugar at home? I’ll make her a cup of brown sugar water."

Bai Lu didn’t think twice and told Xu Wendong where the brown sugar was, then went to the second bedroom and saw Bai Yu, who was already dressed.

However, the lingering smell in the air made her wrinkle her brow; it was a very unfamiliar scent.

But she didn’t dwell on it, reached out to feel her sister’s forehead, and asked with concern, "Are you having a cold?"

"Maybe I haven’t slept well these past few days!" Bai Yu forced a smile, but inside she was very tense because she wasn’t good at lying, especially not in front of her sister.

Bai Lu said earnestly, "It takes going through a lot to grow up. I hope this can make you more mature and prudent. Think twice before acting, and remember not to be capricious."

Bai Yu nodded repeatedly, "Sister, don’t worry. I’ll definitely learn my lesson."

At this moment,

Xu Wendong came in with a bowl of brown sugar water and placed it on the nightstand.

"Is her health okay?" Bai Lu asked.

Xu Wendong replied, "She’s fine, just a bit qi-deficient. Eating more food that nourishes qi and blood can improve her condition!"

Bai Lu nodded slightly; she still had a lot of trust in Xu Wendong’s medical skills.

"You rest first; later, I’ll take you to the station!" Bai Lu said to her younger sister and then signaled Xu Wendong to come out with her.

In the living room,

Bai Lu sat quietly on the sofa, her deep and beautiful eyes staring at Xu Wendong as she asked, "Who are you? Why do you dare to break the game here upon first entering Lianyun County?"

Sun Zhaoqiang stood out and helped Xu Wendong turn the tide, against her expectations. She also knew that without Sun Zhaoqiang’s timely intervention,

Xu Wendong’s fate would have been very tragic.

But,

would Xu Wendong’s outcome be that tragic?

She didn’t know.

She just sensed vaguely that there must be some unknown card and means behind Xu Wendong.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t risk everything.

Xu Wendong said, "I want to do something practical for the people. I want to climb up. That was my original intention when I came to Lianyun County! As for who I am, I’m Xu Wendong!"

Bai Lu didn’t ask more. She knew everyone had their secrets, especially in the officialdom. Who doesn’t have some backing?

Bai Lu picked up an apple and started peeling it while saying, "Wang Zhengjun has been taken down. The province attaches great importance to his case, ordering a thorough investigation into the officials who exchanged interests with him!"

"This time, I estimate that the Lianyun County Officialdom will undergo a reshuffle, even a major overhaul. A large number of people will definitely fall."

Xu Wendong smiled and said, "It wasn’t for nothing that I was beaten up and stayed in the hospital for a week!"

Bai Lu shrugged, "Luckily, your case didn’t reach the point where everyone knew. If everyone knew you were my driver, then our work would be very difficult!"

Although Wang Zhengjun fell, there were many who exchanged interests with him, and not all of them could be taken down.

And as long as those people were around, as long as they knew Xu Wendong was her driver, her situation would be very passive.

"Ahem!" Xu Wendong looked embarrassed, "In officialdom, there’s no wall without cracks. The fact that I’m your driver has probably already spread throughout the Lianyun County Officialdom."

"If I’m not mistaken, many now think it was you and Sun Zhaoqiang who took Wang Zhengjun down."

"After all, I’m just a small driver."

"Who would believe a small driver dares to fight against the Chief of Public Security?"

"Although this is an indisputable fact, would anyone really believe I dare to oppose the Chief of Public Security?"

Bai Lu’s face suddenly changed, and the fruit knife in her hand even cut her finger, bleeding, but she remained unaware.

If things were really as Xu Wendong said, it would be a fatal blow to her.

Only when she felt the pain from her fingertips did she snap back to reality, grabbed a tissue to wipe away the blood on her hand, and glared at Xu Wendong fiercely, "So, you’re saying I was calculated by you? Was all of this part of your plan?"

Xu Wendong replied truthfully, "The poverty of Lianyun County ultimately comes down to two reasons, the corruption in officialdom and the issue of feng shui."

"It’s like a patient with a fracture. We need to use internal and external methods for a quick recovery."

"Your role in this link is internal."

"And Sun Zhaoqiang is external. Only by joining forces can you quickly cure the patient’s condition."

"But you don’t need to be afraid."

"Since you have already been promoted to the Deputy Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, can there be a worse position than this?"

"You..." Bai Lu was at a loss for words.

On second thought, it was true.

Could there be a position worse than Deputy Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau?

She rubbed her temples and said helplessly, "Xu Wendong, you’ve been in Lianyun County for such a short time, you don’t understand the big picture here at all."

"Even if I join forces with Director Sun, it’s tough to defeat those phantoms lurking in the dark!"

Xu Wendong laughed, "One has to try everything, doesn’t it?"

Bai Lu gave him a disgruntled look.

She had been pushed by Xu Wendong to the forefront, forcibly becoming an important link in taking down Wang Zhengjun, and now there was no retreat.

As things stood, the only thing she could do was focus on her own duties.

"Phew!"

A cold breeze blew in through the window, causing the wind chime on the balcony to make a clear and pleasant sound.

Perhaps feeling the chill, Bai Lu went to close the window and, looking at the swaying trees outside, murmured, "The wind has picked up again!"

"Yes, the wind has picked up!" Xu Wendong walked over, looked at the scene outside the window, and smiled, "Soon, a big storm will sweep across Lianyun County, and in this storm, some are bound to stand out."

"By then, I hope Chief Bai will lend a hand."

Bai Lu said, "If it truly turns out as you’ve said, there will definitely be benefits for you."

Just then,

Bai Yu wheeled her suitcase into the living room and, seeing her sister and Xu Wendong standing side by side, couldn’t help but feel a jolt in her heart.

Why did the two of them seem so well-matched?
