Chapter 1031: I Have Camera Phobia!

"What is going on?"

The police officer on duty walked toward Tang Ye.

Yang Ping looked as if he had seen a savior,

scrambled up in a disheveled state, and pulled out his work identification.

"This is my work ID. We are performing official duties, and this young man suddenly rushed over and attacked us."

Seeing that Yang Ping was a government employee, the police officer looked at Tang Ye calmly, "Why did you attack them?"

Tang Ye said, "Comrade Police, you cannot listen to their one-sided story; a work ID is nothing but a disguise for them. They were acting roughly toward an old man and a woman, and I couldn't stand by and watch, so I stepped in. One of the women said she is a reporter from the television station."

Upon hearing there was a reporter, the police officer's expression changed immediately, "Please come with us to the Police Station."

The woman stood up, and Tang Ye returned the miniature camera to her.

The woman thanked him with relief, "Thank you."

Tang Ye said, "You're welcome."

Tang Ye and the woman took a police car to the Police Station.

The woman proactively took out a business card, "My name is Tian Xiaomeng, and I am a reporter for the 'News Girl' program at the City Television Station. Thanks to your righteous act today. I would like to do a separate interview with you later, would that be alright?"

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled modestly, "I am a bit slow of speech and not very good at talking, so let's forget it!"

Tian Xiaomeng couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I thought you communicated quite well with the police just now."

Tang Ye secretly thought that now was not the time to accept an interview, and continued to decline, "I have a phobia of cameras. If I face a lens, I get flustered and can't say a single word."

Tian Xiaomeng looked at Tang Ye in surprise, "I seriously suspect you are lying to me."

Tang Ye smiled and did not respond further.

Tian Xiaomeng was a talkative person and began to speak to herself about the situation at the Old Lock Factory.

"Seven years ago, the Old Lock Factory was demolished in its entirety to build the Jinniu Lake Bridge. At the time, the lock factory received a sum of money, but this money was never distributed to the employees of the lock factory. The Factory Director at the time took the demolition funds and fled abroad. So, the employees, having not received the money, regularly petition the County Government."

Tang Ye nodded slightly, "The Government is indeed responsible for this matter."

Tian Xiaomeng's eyes flashed with determination, "I infiltrated the group of lock factory employees this time to investigate the reasons in depth, but it seems my identity has been exposed now...

Thank you for protecting my footage just now; it records the hard work of this period.

If Yang Ping had stepped on it earlier, it would have all been in vain.

I will definitely do a good job on this news, and after it is broadcast, it will sound an alarm for the Government!"

Tang Ye secretly gave a wry smile; sounding an alarm for the Government!

Isn't that exactly sounding an alarm for himself!

However, upon closer thought, Tian Xiaomeng and he shared the same starting point: both hoped to uphold justice for the common people of Yechuan County.

Upon arriving at the Police Station, Tian Xiaomeng and Tang Ye were thrown into an Interrogation Room.

Not long after, a middle-aged police officer walked in.

The police officer introduced himself, "I am Zhao Zhangle, the Police Station Chief of the Station Police Station. I would like to understand the situation from you."

Tian Xiaomeng said in a deep voice, "I am a reporter for the News Girl program at the television station, and I came to Yechuan County to secretly interview the news about the missing lock factory demolition funds. This comrade saw me and Xu Daye being bullied, which is why he acted righteously; he is a good person who acted with courage."

Police Station Chief Zhao frowned, "Who are you?"

Tang Ye remained calm, "Can we change rooms to talk?"

Seeing that Tang Ye had an extraordinary temperament and spoke with great presence, Police Station Chief Zhao said, "Fine, I will satisfy your request. Follow me."

Tang Ye followed Zhao Zhangle into the adjacent Interrogation Room.

Tang Ye took out his identification card and his personnel appointment documents, pushing them together toward Zhao Zhangle.

Zhao Zhangle took the ID card, then looked at the appointment documents with suspicion.

His expression changed from initial confusion to one of unbelievable shock!

"You, you are County Magistrate Tang?"

Tang Ye nodded slightly, "I have not yet attended the inauguration ceremony, so for the time being, I am not the Acting County Magistrate of Yechuan County. Call Zheng Shaokang and have him come here to see me. Notify only him; do not let a second person know."

Zheng Shaokang was the Deputy County Magistrate of Yechuan County and concurrently served as the Public Security Bureau Chief, so he could suppress Zhao Zhangle.

Zhao Zhangle said hurriedly, "I will call Deputy County Magistrate Zheng right away."

Zhao Zhangle retrieved Zheng Shaokang's phone number from his mobile phone.

He had recorded this number a long time ago but had never dialed it, because when Zheng Shaokang contacted him, it was always through the Deputy Bureau Chief; in reality, there was a gap in rank between the two.

Zhao Zhangle identified himself, "Deputy County Magistrate Zheng, I am Zhao Zhangle, the Police Station Chief of the Station Police Station."

"Hmm, Police Station Chief Zhao, hello. Is there something the matter?" Zheng Shaokang knew that if Zhao Zhangle didn't have a special matter, he would absolutely never call him.

Zhao Zhangle was just about to explain the reason when he saw Tang Ye reach out his hand.

Zhao Zhangle was stunned for a moment and handed the phone to Tang Ye.

"Deputy County Magistrate Zheng, I am Tang Ye. Because I don't have your mobile number, I had Police Station Chief Zhao call you. I am currently waiting for you at the Station Police Station."

Zheng Shaokang was bewildered!

Tang Ye?

That's quite a bold tone!

Suddenly, he shivered.

Tang Ye!

Isn't that the person who is about to come to Yechuan County to serve as the Acting County Magistrate?

He is at the Station Police Station right now?

Could it be that he encountered some dispute?

The Acting County Magistrate hasn't even attended his inauguration ceremony yet; if he were to be beaten up, then he, the Deputy County Magistrate who concurrently serves as the Public Security Bureau Chief, would have no need to continue in his position!

"So it is County, County Magistrate Tang! Please wait a moment, I will be there immediately."

"County Magistrate Zheng, it would have been better if you had come alone; family scandals should not be aired in public, so do not make a big scene and cause a huge uproar."

Zheng Shaokang hurriedly agreed, "County Magistrate Tang, I understand!"

Tang Ye handed the mobile phone to Zhao Zhangle, "The call has ended, County Magistrate Zheng will be here in a moment. Have a female police officer go to the adjacent Interrogation Room to keep the Reporter from the City Television Station company; be polite and actively work to reverse the Reporter's stereotypical impression of our Government."

Zhao Zhangle was covered in sweat at this moment and subconsciously wiped his forehead with his hand, "Understood, I will go make the arrangements right away."

A few minutes later, Zhao Zhangle walked in holding a teacup, "County Magistrate Tang, please have some tea."

Tang Ye nodded slightly and took a cigarette out of his pocket, "Smoke?"

Zhao Zhangle hurriedly took the cigarette and handed over a lighter.

Tang Ye took a puff of the cigarette and began chatting idly with Zhao Zhangle.

Zhao Zhangle answered cautiously.

He sighed inwardly, thankful that the cadres who went out on duty today were quite alert and did not cause any problems, so Tang Ye's attitude toward him was still quite good.

The door to the Interrogation Room was pushed open, and Zheng Shaokang walked in with long, swift strides, heading straight toward Tang Ye and proactively extending his hand, "County Magistrate Tang, welcome to Yechuan County."

After speaking, Zheng Shaokang swept a stern gaze toward Zhao Zhangle, "Speak quickly! What was done incorrectly to make County Magistrate Tang dissatisfied!"
