Sure, here is the translated text:
After contemplating for a long time, Chen Bin still lacked the courage to call Zhao Xinmei.
With no other option, he had to forcibly suppress his unease and head to the office building to find Qian Lang.
After all, he was unfamiliar with the place, and finding someone to talk to would be nice.
Moreover, the main reason was that Qian Lang, being an old-timer here, surely knew a lot of internal news.
The political field is like a battlefield, and Chen Bin still hoped to understand the situation of the County Committee and County Government from Qian Lang's mouth.
"Brother Qian, after your shift ends, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"Oh, you just arrived today, how can I let you spend money? I'll do it."
Seeing Qian Lang being so generous, Chen Bin chose a compromise.
"How about this, I'll pay this time, and the next time we go out to eat, you treat me, how does that sound?"
After a brief thought, Qian Lang immediately nodded.
"No problem!"
In the evening, the two casually found a small restaurant nearby.
They ordered a few dishes, a few bottles of beer, and started chatting while eating.
Qian Lang loves drinking but has a poor capacity.
After a few beers, he started to feel tipsy and was even more talkative.
Among the topics were quite a few gossips about the County Committee and County Government.
Even though Chen Bin wasn't sure about the truth of these matters, he still silently noted them down.
Anyway, knowing more wouldn't hurt.
With another beer downed, Qian Lang suddenly looked around warily.
After confirming there's no one else, he whispered in Chen Bin's ear.
"Brother, I'm happy today, let me tell you a gigantic secret, something even most people at the County Committee and County Government don't know."
This immediately piqued Chen Bin's interest, and he eagerly leaned in.
"What's it about, so mysterious?"
"It's about our County Magistrate Sun!"
County Magistrate?
This is absolutely a big scoop!
Feeling his breath catch, Chen Bin quickly asked, "What's up with County Magistrate Sun?"
Seeing Chen Bin's curiosity fully aroused, Qian Lang wore a smug expression.
Yet, just as he was about to continue, two people suddenly walked in.
Upon seeing their faces clearly, Qian Lang broke into a cold sweat in fright.
Noticing Qian Lang's odd behavior, Chen Bin also glanced at the two.
They were ordinary-looking, seemingly nothing special.
They walked in and directly sat at a table not far away.
So Chen Bin quietly asked Qian Lang, "Brother Qian, go on with your story."
Shaking his head slightly, Qian Lang became cautious.
"Both of them are County Magistrate Sun's people; we'll talk when we're back."
Nodding in agreement, under such circumstances, Qian Lang's reluctance to speak was understandable.
However, Chen Bin remained curious about what secrets such a high-ranking official might have.
After wine and dine, Qian Lang was thoroughly drunk.
If not for Chen Bin's support, he probably wouldn't even get back to the dormitory.
For this reason, Chen Bin never got an answer concerning County Magistrate Sun.
Just as he was preparing to wash up, the phone rang suddenly.
Seeing Zhao Xinmei's number, Chen Bin went to the balcony.
After connecting, a calm voice came from the other end.
"Xiao Bin, are you off work yet?"
For some reason, Chen Bin always felt this was the calm before the storm.
He swallowed and responded softly.
"Yes... I am."
"Aren't you coming home for dinner?"
"Mom, someone arranged a dormitory for me here, I plan to stay, so I didn't return."
"Come home, I need to talk to you about something."
Uh oh!
Chen Bin almost concluded that what he left on Zhao Xinmei's panties had definitely been discovered.
Clearing his throat, he hurriedly tried to dodge the topic.
"Um... I have work tomorrow, how about we talk about it over the phone..."
Before Chen Bin could finish, Zhao Xinmei snapped at him.
"I told you to come home now, did you hear me? Immediately! Right now!!"
Listening to the busy tone from the phone, Chen Bin felt his scalp tingling.
This was the first time he saw Zhao Xinmei angry.
The enormous pressure made him nearly suffocate.
But since it had happened, he had to face it.
Otherwise, the consequences might be even worse.
With this thought, Chen Bin promptly left the dormitory.
He hailed a cab directly to Zhao Xinmei's house.
Half an hour later, he finally reached the destination.
After lingering at the doorstep for a long time, he eventually summoned the courage to ring the doorbell.
Soon, the door opened.
The first thing he saw was Zhao Xinmei's frosty expression.
After entering the house, Chen Bin drooped his head, standing quietly at the entrance.
Zhao Xinmei meanwhile closed the door, arms crossed over her chest.
Her beautiful and charming almond-shaped eyes slightly squinted, emitting waves of hostility.
This frightened Chen Bin significantly.
Before long, he could no longer withstand such strong pressure.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."
With a cold snort, Zhao Xinmei's tone was icy.
"Tell me, what exactly did you do wrong."
"I shouldn't have used your panties... for that kind of thing."
"What kind of thing? Explain it to me clearly!"
Having drunk quite a bit with Qian Lang earlier, Chen Bin was somewhat tipsy.
But now facing a hostile Zhao Xinmei, all he felt was chills down his spine.
Cold sweat slowly trickled down his forehead, his mind turned incredibly sharp.
"I... I shouldn't have taken your panties to... you know, masturbate. Ouch! It hurts, it hurts..."
Just as Chen Bin confessed, Zhao Xinmei gripped his ear, dragging him into the room.
Pointing at the panties on the bed, she loudly scolded.
"I am your mother, how could you use my... my... for that kind of thing?!"
