The raging fire burned, and the scorching temperature made people's skin slightly hot and stinging.

"Governor..., this?" Master Wei looked at Xia Meng with a pale face.

Xia Meng patted Lao Wei's shoulder comfortingly, "Master Wei, are you okay?"

"I..." Master Wei's lips trembled, and he was obviously frightened. After a while, he nodded, "I... I'm fine."

"That's good," Xia Meng saw that Wei Zhongliang's legs were shaking, and fearing that he would fall, she supported him and helped him sit down on the side of the road.

"You take a rest first."

Wei Zhongliang nodded subconsciously, and then saw Xia Meng take out her cell phone.

Xia Meng called the police first. Although she knew that it was probably useless and the results of the investigation would not satisfy her, she still called the police first because it was a necessary procedure.

After calling the police, Xia Meng called her superior again. During the call, Xia Meng reported the matter in detail to her superior.

After finishing the call with her boss, Xia Meng called Yang Heng again.

"Hello? I encountered some accidents, come and pick me up," Xia Meng told Yang Heng her current address, and then hung up the phone.

The noise here was so loud that it was soon surrounded by people watching.

Yang Heng came very quickly. Seeing that Xia Meng was safe and sound, Yang Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's great that you're okay!"

"Really?" Xia Meng looked at Yang Heng meaningfully. When Yang Heng felt uncomfortable, she slowly looked away.

Xia Meng looked at Wei Zhongliang, "Master Wei, can you still drive?"

Wei Zhongliang quickly stood up and said, "I can!"

"Okay," Xia Meng turned around and got into Yang Heng's car. Wei Zhongliang glanced at Yang Heng, then sat in the driver's seat.

Yang Heng reached out and gently adjusted his glasses, then opened the back door and sat on the other side of Xia Meng.

After Yang Heng got in the car, Xia Meng said to Wei Zhongliang, "Drive!"

Wei Zhongliang: "Yes."

The car started slowly and headed towards the office building. Wei Zhongliang's hands were steady and the car drove very smoothly, so Xia Meng didn't feel any bumps.

The car was very quiet, but the atmosphere inside was not peaceful, and it always gave people a sense of oppression and uneasiness.

Wei Zhongliang looked straight ahead and did not dare to look back.

Yang Heng got in the car and was quiet for a while before he spoke tentatively.

"Governor, this time... you are so lucky to be okay."

"Really?" Xia Meng looked at Yang Heng, her eyes calm and her tone steady, but she always gave people a sense of oppression that a storm was about to come.

"You think this was an accident?"

Yang Heng pretended to be confused, "Isn't it?"

Xia Meng saw the surprise and astonishment on Yang Heng's face and suddenly laughed.

"...If you think so, then so be it!"

"But..." The smile on Xia Meng's face disappeared, "I want you to help me pass a message to them."

"Hehe..." Yang Heng pretended to be dumb, "What does Governor Xia mean by this? Why... I don't understand!"

"Don't you understand? It doesn't matter," Xia Meng said casually, "I believe you can convey the message."

Yang Heng pulled the corner of his mouth, "I still don't understand what you mean."

Xia Meng ignored him and said bluntly, "Tell them: All those who want to kill me, Xia Meng... are dead! I want to see how tough their lives are!"

When Yang Heng heard Xia Meng's words, his face froze and the curve of his mouth almost disappeared.

After saying this, Xia Meng closed her eyes.

The car soon stopped in front of the office building. Xia Meng opened her eyes, opened the door and got out.

As Xia Meng walked into the office, the phone on her desk rang.

Xia Meng picked up the phone...

After Xia Meng hung up the phone, Yang Heng saw that Xia Meng looked unhappy and asked cautiously,

"Governor Xia, who's calling? Is there something wrong?"

Xia Meng raised her eyes to look at Yang Heng, and her expression returned to normal.

"Nothing, just called to inform me that they performed an autopsy on the tanker driver and found that the tanker driver was... driving under the influence!"

"hehe..."

Drunk driving?

What it means is: This was an accident!

So...arrogant!

Such an obvious thing was actually characterized as an accident.

Xia Meng knew that the car accident was a warning from Fan Wei and others to her!

Warn her not to interfere too much!

otherwise...

In fact, this time, if Xia Meng had not been so skilled, if he had been replaced by an ordinary person, he would have been doomed to death.

So they are really arrogant, and their power is probably even greater than Xia Meng imagined.

No wonder they are so confident.

They have people everywhere, and Xia Meng has no one on her side. Even if she wants to investigate, they would have destroyed all the evidence long ago. Even if she investigates, she can only find out that "it was an accident."

But everyone knew in their hearts that this was not an accident, this was 'premeditated murder!'

It turns out that being a governor is not that easy!

Otherwise, although Xia Meng is young and has made some political achievements, it would not be her turn.

If you are in a high position at a young age, you have to show your ability to impress everyone!

Otherwise...in the end you will end up like the previous governors and your life will remain here.

Xia Meng returned to her office and started a busy day at work. After finding out that it was just an 'accident', she was not angry, nor did she get upset. It was as if she had already accepted it.

Xia Meng finished work in the morning and went to the restaurant for lunch.

There were a lot of people in the restaurant, but Xia Meng was not as popular here as before.

When the employees saw Xia Meng, they just lowered their heads and walked away, as if they didn't see her. Only a few of them met Xia Meng's eyes and smiled politely to convey their goodwill.

When seeing someone smiling at her, Xia Meng would smile back.

When it was Xia Meng's turn to get food, Xia Meng walked forward and took a look. The staple food was only steamed buns, and the only dish was stewed cabbage. The cabbage seemed to be stewed in water and looked bland.

The chef who served the food was fat and had a greasy face.

When he saw Xia Meng, he didn't even raise his head when serving the food, as if he didn't see Xia Meng. He handed Xia Meng two steamed buns and gave her a spoonful of stewed cabbage. Moreover, when serving the food, the chef's hand shook, and half of the stewed cabbage in the spoon fell out for no reason.

Xia Meng saw it, but didn't say anything, instead she said,

"Master, two steamed buns are not enough, give me two more."

After hearing what Xia Meng said, the chef looked at Xia Meng and gave her a slightly provocative smile.

"So it's the governor..." The chef who served the food laughed at Xia Meng twice, then said,

"Who was I then? I was so arrogant and asked for two more buns."

After hearing what the chef said, Xia Meng asked calmly,

"What? You can't even have two more buns?"

"Of course not!" The master spoke in a high tone, as if he wanted everyone to hear him.

"Food is in short supply across the country right now. We are able to provide food for free, which is already very good. The steamed buns are all made to order. If you eat two more, won't others have to eat two less?"

"What? Is the governor trying to gain personal benefits for himself?"

Xia Meng was so angry that she almost laughed. Which governor would seek personal gain? Is he just looking for a few buns?

Xia Meng looked at the chef and asked, "How many steamed buns does Chef eat in one meal?"

Chef Guo Dayou didn't expect Xia Meng to ask him in return, and replied with a grin,

"Everyone has two steamed buns, so of course I have two too."

"Really?" Xia Meng sneered, "It's not easy to make a fat chef like the chef with just two steamed buns and boiled vegetables."

"It seems that the chef is a man who can squeeze out fat from steamed buns. Otherwise, why is the chef as fat as a pig when everyone else is as skinny as a bamboo pole?"

When Xia Meng said this, many people who were eavesdropping nearby couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ever since Guo Dayou became the restaurant's head chef, they have hardly had a good meal.

Almost every meal consists of steamed buns and boiled vegetables, but the styles of boiled vegetables are slightly different. Sometimes it is cabbage, sometimes it is potatoes, and sometimes it is smashed cucumber. Smashed cucumber is considered a good dish.

Even if you let the employees cook their own food, they can’t make it taste so bad.

But they didn't dare to say it because the chef had a complicated background.

Can I be a chef without any background?

No one dared to speak out, no one dared to offend the chef, so the chef became even more outrageous.

Ordinary employees eat boiled vegetables, while cadres do not eat boiled vegetables, but special meals.

But Xia Meng has never had any special meal. Before, she always ate whatever the employees ate, and everyone ate the same thing.

The chef knew that Xia Meng, the new governor, was stubborn and his relative had complained to him several times.

Therefore, he really disliked Xia Meng.

For a young woman to be able to sit in the position of governor, I wonder how many men she has slept with behind the scenes!

Of course, the chef didn't know whether Xia Meng had slept with any man or not, but based on his understanding, he felt that if Xia Meng, a young and beautiful woman, had not slept with any man, she would not have been able to reach her current high position.

So, although Xia Meng was the governor, Guo Dayou looked down on Xia Meng from the bottom of his heart.

It’s not that Guo Dayou hates people who use backdoors. On the contrary, he himself is a person who uses backdoors. How could he hate them? He just doesn’t like... people his relatives don’t like!

"You said I'm as fat as a pig?" Guo Dayou was very angry when Xia Meng described him as a pig.

Xia Meng smiled innocently, "Oh, it's just a metaphor, why are you so angry?"

"You are a man, you should be more generous, right?"

Guo Dayou's face turned red with anger, but thinking of Xia Meng's identity, he couldn't say anything too harsh, so he clenched his fists tightly.

Seeing Guo Dayou's unconvinced look, Xia Meng looked at the food in her hand and suddenly said,

"I've been here for so long, but I've never visited the kitchen. How about... today?"

After Xia Meng finished speaking, she walked towards the kitchen.

Guo Dayou's expression suddenly changed. He quickly stepped forward and blocked Xia Meng's way. Anxiously, Guo Dayou said to Xia Meng loudly,

"You can't go!"

"Huh?" Xia Meng looked at Guo Dayou, "I can't go?"

Xia Meng's face was calm, but her dark eyes made Guo Dayou feel very pressured for no reason.

"I..." Guo Dayou looked flustered, "The kitchen is a bit messy, it's better for the governor not to go."

Xia Meng sneered, "I hand over the kitchen to you because I trust you."

"Food hygiene conditions are related to everyone's life and health, and everyone is qualified to supervise you."

Xia Meng said to Guo Dayou in a commanding tone, "Get out of the way!"

Guo Dayou gritted his teeth but did not move away.

Xia Meng narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice again, "I told you to get out of the way!"

Guo Dayou said with a stiff upper lip, "If Governor Xia wants to visit the kitchen, he can come tomorrow. We don't have anything prepared today, so we'd better not go."

Xia Meng felt ridiculous, "What are you preparing for? Just to conduct a surprise inspection to see if you have kept the kitchen clean and if you care about everyone's life and health."
