Chapter 415: Chapter 7: Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law (Part 7)

Li Shuning once again threw out a bombshell: “Ziheng, how much do you know about the Cao Family? The Cao Family’s base is in Lian City, which is coastal, and Lian City has not been calm over the years. The Cao Family is wealthy; where did all that money come from? Haven’t you ever thought about it?”

“However, nothing bad has ever been reported from Lian City. The Cao Family runs Lian City like a fortress. Why is that?”

Li Shuning took out some photos from her bag and handed them to Song Ziheng. Song Ziheng was shocked after looking at them.

“Over the years, a lot has happened in Lian City. Some have colluded with illegal elements to gain significant benefits. As the rising star promoted by the Cao Family, representing the family, would Cao Yun really be unaware of these things? If he knows, what will be the consequences if such a person rises to that position?”

“Moreover, I don’t think they’ll succeed. That person is as solid as a rock; the Cao Family’s matter is enough to seal their fate. As for what’ll happen to your Song Family, you should think about it.”

“Don’t harbor any illusions. Although I spent a lot of connections to obtain this information, if I can investigate it, others can with a little effort too.”

At this time, the Song Family had just made contact, and the situation wasn’t severe yet. There was still a chance to make amends.

Song Ziheng gave Li Shuning a deep look before picking up the photos and standing up: “Sister Ning, thank you for today. I’m deeply grateful; the Song Family owes you a favor for this significant matter. I must return first. Sister Ning, shall I have someone escort you back?”

“No need, you go ahead. I’ll drive myself back.”

After parting with Song Ziheng, Li Shuning went shopping.

As a doting parent, how could she not indulge her darling?

Song Ziheng returned to the Song Family with the photos and immediately sought out his father to recount everything as it happened.

Song Lin was a bit relieved: “Ziheng, although Shujiao’s situation previously embarrassed our family, the gift Shuning brought today has saved our Song Family. From now on, relations with the Li Family should remain as they were. Don’t let any grievances linger in your heart.”

“Dad, I understand. Sister Shuning helped with the Cao Jian issue; I don’t know if it’ll cause her trouble. What should we do now?”

Song Lin thought for a moment and said, “Shuning is remarkable. If she were a man, our Song Family might have helped her even more. These photos are rare. But Shuning is right, that person sits securely, so let’s stir the waters. He’s watching us from above; we can’t let him off so easily.”

That day, Song Lin personally delivered the photos to the hands of that individual.

What to do with them wasn’t Song Lin’s concern.

Indeed, that person had a bit of a headache.

The time for a change of leadership hadn’t come yet. Originally, he knew the Cao Family wasn’t clean and wanted to vie for the position, but he had leverage over them. The existence of the Cao Family allowed him to manage many families without facing any threat. It was advantageous!

But he didn’t expect the Song Family to bring such things at this time. Wasn’t it said that the Song Family had contact with the Cao Family?

Could it be that after contact, the Song Family grew wary and investigated the Cao Family?

While the photos were numerous, they showed only some things; the deeper matters weren’t uncovered, but it was enough. For a family with such power, it’s inevitable.

If the Cao Family were dealt with now, it might cause turmoil, given the magnitude of Lian City’s affairs. The Cao Family was quite audacious.

Only he knew when to take action, yet now wasn’t the time. Such a good pawn was wasted!

Ultimately, he had no choice but to swiftly take down the Cao Family with force.

In an instant, the political landscape changed, and officials in many regions were affected.

At this time, Li Shujiao was in disbelief.

The Cao Family was finished, yet the Song Family remained untouched. Where did it go wrong?

If the Song Family stays unscathed, wouldn’t her previous actions be making enemies for her brother-in-law?

Li Shujiao felt like things were slipping out of control.

Recently, she’d tasted the power of authority.

In Du City, although treated well, she was still just a pampered daughter.

These days, with her sister absent, she’d been advising Zhang Mingyang and reaping benefits.

She must become the most esteemed woman. She’d make the Li Family members pay back with interest.

No matter what happens to the Song Family or the Cao Family, as long as her brother-in-law rises to the top, nothing else matters.

Yet she didn’t even understand her brother-in-law.

Li Shuning had been gone for about ten days.

It’s been raining constantly for days. Jian City was flooded in several places, its situation not great.

During this time, Zhang Mingyang was deeply engrossed in pleasure, hard to extract.

Outside, he had to crawl through mud; inside, he was far more comfortable in a woman’s arms.

Zhang Mingyang thought he had delegated tasks and there would be no problems.

Besides, Jiaojiao warned it might get risky. When it does, he’d just make a public show to mitigate the issue.

Indeed, that way he might suffer less.

On the night it happened, they played recklessly, from the kitchen to the bedroom, then to the living room, lying naked on the carpet, not wanting to move.

Although Li Shujiao remembered that Jian City had previous incidents, the impact didn’t seem significant. As long as follow-up remedies were made, there would be no issue.

However, how could she know that rain fell heavily for over a month in Jian City, and Li Shuning had been dealing with hidden dangers the whole time. Even if something happened, it wasn’t catastrophic.

But neighboring cities to Jian City faced serious problems, leading to widespread turmoil.

Consequently, Zhang Mingyang reaped great achievements, quickly rising to the leading position in Jian City.

Li Shuning had left Jian City early. Although some hidden dangers were addressed before leaving, Zhang Mingyang hadn’t managed anything after, differing from the storyline.

As they lay asleep on the floor, pouring rain drenched Jian City. Soon, part of Jian City’s dam was breached.

Fortunately, the nearby residents had been evacuated.

Mayor Lin and his team were busy with aftermath work, everyone in chaos.

However, Vice Mayor Zhang was nowhere to be seen.

Someone went searching for Vice Mayor Zhang but couldn’t reach him.

The power was out, and many phone lines down, so several people went directly to Vice Mayor Zhang’s house.

After knocking with no response, they found the door open.

Of course, inside, they found Vice Mayor Zhang unclothed with his sister-in-law.
