Chapter 453 - Extracting Information About Ye Fan

Around 3:30 in the afternoon, Li Zhaojun received a call from Zhao Tianya.

“Zhao Jun, I’ve gotten that Yang Zecheng’s mobile number,” Zhao Tianya said over the phone, “The background of that Yang Zecheng is really not simple; he’s from the deeply rooted Yang family of the official provincial power.”

“Zhao Jun, what do you need him for?” Zhao Tianya couldn’t help but ask again out of curiosity.

Li Zhaojun replied, “I can’t tell you for now.

Alright, thank you.

Please send me his mobile number.”

“Okay then,” Zhao Tianya said, sounding somewhat dismayed.

After a pause, she immediately giggled coquettishly, “Zhao Jun, let’s have dinner together after work.

It’s been quite a while since we last ate together.”

“Maybe tomorrow.

I can’t today, I have things to do,” said Li Zhaojun.

After ending the call with Zhao Tianya, it wasn’t long before Li Zhaojun received a text message from her.

After saving Yang Zecheng’s mobile number from the message to her phone contacts, Li Zhaojun began to ponder how to extract the specific conflict between Yang Chengze and Ye Fan.

Phoning him directly was out of the question, and arranging a face-to-face meeting was even less appropriate.

She thought for a while and quickly came up with a plan.

She pressed the call button on the top right of her luxury office desk, and soon, the call connected.

“Director Li,” a respectful voice came from the phone, belonging to Wang Siyan.

“Come to my office,” Li Zhaojun instructed.

A minute later, Wang Siyan knocked on the door and entered Li Zhaojun’s office.

Looking at Wang Siyan, Li Zhaojun said, “I have a personal call to make and it’s inconvenient to use my own phone.

May I borrow yours?”

“Of course you can,” Wang Siyan quickly handed over her phone.

Taking the phone, Li Zhaojun said, “You can go back now.

After I finish the call, I’ll call you to come get your phone.”

“Alright,” Wang Siyan turned and left.

After Wang Siyan left, Li Zhaojun entered Yang Zecheng’s mobile number into the phone and dialed out.

The phone rang twice before it was cut off by the person on the other end.

Li Zhaojun didn’t give up and dialed a second time.

This time Yang Zecheng finally answered the call.

“Who is this?” Yang Zecheng asked with an air of superiority.

“Hello, may I speak with Mr.

Yang Zecheng?” Li Zhaojun deliberately softened and sweetened her voice.

For a moment, her voice was filled with contemplation, making it pleasantly soothing to the listener.

No one would have known that her voice could have such an enchantingly appealing side.

Although Yang Zecheng was initially impatient with the unfamiliar call, upon hearing Li Zhaojun’s voice, even through the phone, he could imagine that the caller was definitely a very beautiful and gentle young woman.

Therefore, his patience was renewed, and he said in a softened voice, “Hehe, I am Yang Zecheng.

May I ask who is calling?”

“My name is Shangguan Jingshu…” Li Zhaojun responded.

Yang Zecheng could not resist interrupting with a compliment, “What a beautiful name!

Quiet in her beauty, surely Miss Shangguan’s name was inspired by the Book of Songs?”

“Mm, Mr.

Yang is quite learned,” Li Zhaojun flattered Yang Zecheng.

The image of the beauty that Yang Zecheng had conjured in his mind became even more vivid, and he laughed heartily, “I dare not claim so.

May I know the purpose of Miss Shangguan’s call?”

“I am from the Emali Group,” Li Zhaojun said.

“Hmm?” Yang Zecheng couldn’t help but respond, thinking to himself, wasn’t that the company where Ye Fan worked?

He only heard Li Zhaojun continue, “Today, I suddenly got some insider news that someone wants to fire that scoundrel, Ye Fan.

So, I came to you for help.”

“Um,” Yang Zecheng acknowledged, pondering, “Do you have a grudge against Ye Fan?”

“Indeed,” Li Zhaojun said indignantly, “He harassed me, but he has connections in the Emali Group, so I couldn’t do anything to him.

Even though he might be kicked out of Emali Group now, I still can’t swallow my anger!”

“You want to take revenge on him?” asked Yang Zecheng.

Li Zhaojun replied, “Exactly.

That’s why I turned to you.

I never expected that you would be, actually be a high-ranking official.

That’s just perfect!”

Yang Zecheng chuckled, pretending to be modest, “I’m not a high-ranking official.

I’m just an ordinary civil servant.”

“You’re being modest!

Isn’t a director a high-ranking official?” Li Zhaojun called out, pretending to be cute and naive, “Don’t think I don’t understand anything.”

Yang Zecheng couldn’t help but laugh heartily, saying, “Alright.

I do have some power.”

He continued to ask, “How do you want to take revenge on that kid, Ye Fan?”

“I want him to be completely discredited and spend a few years in jail!” Li Zhaojun said with hatred in her voice.

Yang Zecheng felt a mix of schadenfreude toward Ye Fan and frowned upon Li Zhaojun’s request.

With Tantai Wanrong protecting Ye Fan, it was impossible for him to frame Ye Fan for a crime and send him to jail, especially since Ye Fan was in Hua Hai.

However, he decided to first cajole this girl, who might very well be a stunning and naive beauty.

“Alright, how dare he bully you.

I happen to have a score to settle with him as well.

Let’s join forces and finish him off!” Yang Zecheng said.

“Okay, thank you,” Li Zhaojun said, pretending to be grateful, “But I don’t know how to bring about Ye Fan’s downfall and imprisonment.

By the way, what grudge do you have against him?”

“Hehe, my grudge with him is quite significant,” Yang Zecheng said, trying to garner sympathy from Li Zhaojun by exploiting their shared grievances.

Li Zhaojun asked, “What exactly is your grudge?

Tell me.”

“Um…” Yang Zecheng, in his eagerness, couldn’t concoct a grudge with few loopholes.

He was in another city, Ye Fan in Hua Hai, and although the two cities were almost connected, they were still different cities.

Moreover, as a director-level civil servant with real power, and Ye Fan merely a wage earner, it was nearly impossible for the two men to cross paths.

It was indeed difficult to fabricate a conflict with Ye Fan on short notice.

Unable to come up with a lie in the heat of the moment, his thinking habitually shifted to the real conflict he had with Ye Fan.

Soon, based on the foundation of his real grievances, he concocted a lie.

“Do you know the Executive Vice Mayor of Hua Hai, Tantai Wanrong?” Yang Zecheng asked.

Li Zhaojun replied, “I’ve heard of her and have seen her on the TV news.”

“Some time ago, I had official business to discuss with Tantai Wanrong, and unexpectedly that kid, Ye Fan, came out of nowhere and hit me.

He even warned and threatened me to keep my distance from Tantai Wanrong,” Yang Zecheng said.

Li Zhaojun couldn’t help but ask, puzzled, “How is Ye Fan related to Tantai Wanrong?

Why did he hit you?”

“Of course, I was also baffled, but later I found out that Ye Fan is very close to Tantai Wanrong.

It’s said that he even calls Tantai Wanrong his ‘auntie’,” Yang Zecheng explained, “However, Tantai Wanrong is quite a few years his senior, which just shows how utterly shameless that kid, Ye Fan, is.”

Li Zhaojun made a mental note of the name Tantai Wanrong.

Although she didn’t fully believe Yang Zecheng’s words, at least the connection between Tantai Wanrong and Ye Fan wasn’t made up out of thin air.

This was an important piece of information.

“Did you have any other conflicts with him?” Li Zhaojun asked further.

“Of course, there were.

Since that incident, that kid, Ye Fan, has been calling to threaten and harass me every other day.

It’s been maddening.

He even tried to extort me.

Sigh, it’s difficult to explain everything over a few words on the phone.

Why don’t we meet face to face to talk?

It’s a good opportunity to think of ways to deal with that kid, Ye Fan.

I’ll be in Hua Hai tonight, and we could…”

Before he could finish, he heard the sound of the call being disconnected with the “beep beep” tone of a busy signal coming from his phone.

Thinking it might be due to a poor signal, he immediately tried to redial the number, but the next moment, he was absolutely livid – the other party had actually blocked his number.

“Damn it, I’ve been tricked!” Yang Zecheng cursed angrily.
