Chapter 558: Fan Ye Once Again Unleashes Full Firepower

Lin Dongfan! Answer my question!

Lv Yizhi's roar echoed in the meeting room, a tone of command! He stared fixedly at Lin Dongfan, displaying full official authority, like God looking down on ants.

The key is that his question is extremely tricky.

Skillfully elevating the "regulatory technical difficulty" to "disregarding citizens' rights", he tried to seize the moral high ground, putting Lin Dongfan in the awkward position of "neglecting duty, ignoring public interests".

All eyes once again focused on Lin Dongfan.

Wang Daochen's finger tapped silently on the table as he quietly watched Lin Dongfan's performance. Song Changeng lifted his teacup, also wanting to see how Lin Dongfan would respond next.

Chen Gang felt a chill run down his back, cold sweat nearly soaking his shirt.

In Chen Gang's view, the fiercer the conflict between Lv Yizhi and Lin Dongfan, the more the unlucky ones caught in the middle would suffer, whoever won.

Fan Ye remained as calm as ever.

In Fan Ye's eyes, Lv Yizhi's pure stubbornness was a desperate struggle; the angrier he acted, the more it showed he had something to hide—if you're innocent, why are you panicking?

Most likely……

Jiang Lin also has an affair with Lv Yizhi!

In other words, Jiang Lin doesn't care whether Qiao Lianzhou lives or dies; she truly wants to protect Lv Yizhi's interests! That vicious woman is highly likely to have murdered her husband.

Having thought this through, Lin Dongfan had sorted out the myriad thoughts in his mind, making them clear and orderly.

He slowly rose to his feet, placed both hands on the table, leaned forward, and met Lv Yizhi's almost fiery glare with an intensely oppressive posture.

"Deputy Provincial Lv, that 'disregarding citizens' rights' hat you've put on fits you perfectly."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear, carrying an icy quality.

A faint smile curled his lips: "Serve the people? Of course I remember. Precisely because I always keep this in mind, I cannot stand by while some people use the 'serve the people' banner as a cover to secretly engage in shameful, illegal acts."

"You! ……"

Lv Yizhi trembled with rage, his facial muscles twitching.

He never imagined Lin Dongfan would dare, without any evidence, to secretly slap a "malfeasance" label on his deputy minister‑level position.

Before Lv Yizhi could organize his words,

Lin Dongfan had already sped up his speech.

Full firepower:

"Regulation is a technical issue? Ridiculous!

Knowing full well that the suspect might disappear forever, knowing this is letting the tiger return to the mountain, yet still insisting on approval—this isn't solving the problem, it's creating a bigger one!

This is using a moral cloak to cover up substantive error!

This is dereliction of duty!

Lin Dongfan kept his eyes locked on Lv Yizhi's continually twisting angry face.

Get angry, you old coot!

The angrier you get, the more excited I am!

No matter whether your boss above is surnamed Xu or something else, I'll go all‑in; even if I accidentally fall, the worst that can happen is I resign and go into business—what can you do to me?

Lin Dongfan thrust his arm out, pointing toward the window as if he could pierce the wall and aim straight at the hospital!

"You parade the people's basic rights on your lips, constantly emphasizing life and health rights as the highest, most fundamental rights that cannot be trampled!

What about Zhu Siming, who lay in the hospital before—what happened to his right to life?

When he was killed by illegal organ harvesting, who respected his rights?!

When Huang Xiuju went to appeal, she was kicked around like a ball and even arrested on false charges—who respected her rights?!

I ask you, what were you doing back then?!

Now the investigation points to Qiao Lianzhou's door, simply because he's your prized disciple, and you're nitpicking over every trifle! Deputy Provincial Lv, isn't your double standard going a bit too far?!

Hat‑pinning techniques, Fan Ye has his own set.

This barrage of questions, like a heavy hammer, struck again and again at Lv Yizhi's psychological defenses, and at the hearts of everyone present.

Song Changeng set down his teacup, his expression turning solemn as he silently reflected on his various negligence and oversight in the Huang Xiuju case.

Wang Daochen also furrowed his brows, his gaze deep.

And Lv Yizhi, left pale‑faced by the rebuke, breathed rapidly, his hand pressed over his heart. Confronted with Lin Dongfan's irrefutable critique, he seemed powerless to resist.

At this moment of collapse.

Lv Yizhi hastily pulled out a bottle of quick‑acting heart pills, swallowed one with the tea on the table, to keep himself going!

The air in the meeting room seemed to have solidified.

It even exhaled a hint of death!

And this deathly aura was emanating from Lv Yizhi himself! Though Chief Wang Daochen merely glanced at him lightly, he had no intention of stopping Lin Dongfan's barrage.

Lin Dongfan chuckled: "Deputy Provincial Lv, is your heart all right? If there's nothing seriously wrong, I'll go on—I, Lin Dongfan, wasn't afraid of the lawless evil forces in Haishan; now that I'm back in the province, do you think I'll be scared off by some people's power?"

"Nobody here denies your investigative attitude!"

Lv Yizhi already realized that clashing head‑on with Lin Dongfan, this red‑background hothead, was a no‑go; if he kept going, he'd surely be speared by that hothead.

He must under no circumstances throw his own ranks into chaos!

Lv Yizhi took a deep breath and put on an air of calm impartiality: "The problem is, you keep saying this and that, but it's all speculation and suspicion—your accusations about the authenticity of the organ donation consent form, about Jiang Lin murdering her husband, and about Qiao Lianzhou feigning illness to escape, have no factual basis!"

Having said that,

Lv Yizhi decisively turned his gaze toward Wang Daochen.

Not giving Lin Dongfan a chance to rebut.

He directly tossed the problem to Wang Daochen: "Secretary Wang, earlier Huang Xiuju was arrested on false charges, and we all indeed bear some responsibility for negligence. Moreover, having learned from the past, we must now take lessons to heart and avoid repeating the same mistake! Regarding the Qiao Lianzhou issue, I believe we ought to respect the family's reasonable demands."

"What is an old fox? This is the old fox!"

In officialdom, the struggle isn't fought with knives.

Use your brains!

Lv Yizhi first tied himself together with everyone present, pointing out that Huang Xiuju's wrongful arrest was not his personal dereliction of duty, but a collective dereliction of duty by everyone present.

Then, on this basis, he raised the flag of reflection.

He did not deny Lin Dongfan's criticism; instead, he treated Lin Dongfan's criticism as a step, stepped down along it, and reasonably justified the demand to protect Jiang Lin.

The pressure was placed on decision-maker Wang Daochen, but Wang Daochen remained as deep and inscrutable as ever, with no change visible on his face.

Wang Daochen fell silent in thought for a moment.

He replied in a neutral tone: "Old Lv, Dongfan, what you say makes sense. This is not a petty quarrel between you, but a conflict between 'criminal investigation' and 'the right to seek medical treatment.' This matter requires waiting for the relevant authorities to organize a hearing, conduct research and argumentation, before a decision can be made; for now, let's leave it at that."

A big shot is a big shot.

He casually made a summary, indirectly denying Lv Yizhi's argument!

After waiting for the relevant authorities to hold a hearing and reach a research conclusion, wouldn't that be until the Year of the Monkey and Month of the Horse? Put bluntly, it's just a delaying tactic, buying time for Fan Ye to uncover the truth.
