Chapter 1093: The Opponent Is No Rookie!

"Secretary Han, what did you want to see me about?"

Mao Yu had been keeping a close watch on Tang Ye's movements, and he knew Tang Ye had gone to Han Zhengyi's office.

It was no surprise that the topic of conversation concerned Chen Shunfei.

Previously, Mao Yu had felt that Tang Ye was targeting him primarily to consolidate his own authority.

But now...

Mao Yu felt that Tang Ye was intent on dealing him a lethal blow and purging his dissenters!

For so many years, Chen Shunfei had followed him, rising from a street thug to a socialite.

He believed that Chen Shunfei was loyal to him.

Even if something were uncovered, he would not betray him.

Mao Yu composed himself and knocked on the door of the County Party Secretary's office.

Han Zhengyi told Mao Yu to sit.

Mao Yu noticed that Han Zhengyi did not pour him any tea; this was not a good sign.

"I just received news that there was a disturbance caused by organized crime at the Jinyu Tianxia project, resulting in injuries to multiple citizens and causing a terrible impact.

Chen Shunfei has already been arrested by the County Public Security Bureau.

Do you have anything you want to say?"

Mao Yu distanced himself, "I have known Chen Shunfei for many years, but our relationship is merely average. However, based on my understanding of him, he shouldn't be doing anything illegal or undisciplined."

Seeing Mao Yu flatly deny it, Han Zhengyi's eyes revealed a look of disappointment, "We have known each other for many years, and I still admire your capabilities. You are flexible in your work and have your own solutions when encountering special circumstances. However, you have one fatal flaw: you are too confident. There are major problems in how you handle your relationship with County Magistrate Tang."

Upon hearing this, Mao Yu felt somewhat angry inside.

"Secretary Han, thank you for your recognition, but I truly have to speak my mind. For so many years, I have made so many contributions to the development of Yechuan County; why does the organization not recognize me, and instead arrange for a young cadre who is so much younger than me and lacks experience to be my superior?

After Tang Ye came to Yechuan, he immediately began making big moves. The Safety Production Rectification Action he proposed looks like it is rectifying social order on the surface, but in reality, he is just using it as a pretext to purge dissenters.

The Jinyu Tianxia project is the most important residential development in Yechuan County in recent years, and the developer has invested a massive amount of capital and effort into it.

Now, on the day of delivery, the developer's boss is arrested and citizens are beaten; this is clearly sabotage!

Some people rely on the backing of leaders in the city to act without regard for feelings or unity.

Such a person is simply not fit to be County Magistrate!

To be honest, I am not convinced!"

Han Zhengyi waited for Mao Yu to finish venting, then he stood up, walked to his desk, opened a drawer, took out a file of whistleblowing materials, and placed it in front of Mao Yu.

"This was handed to me by the Discipline Inspection Commission a few days ago. Take a look for yourself."

Mao Yu read the whistleblowing materials, struggling to control his expression.

The report was signed with a real name; the whistleblower was named Feng Feng, who was Li Haizao's ex-boyfriend.

They had broken up a few days ago.

However, Feng Feng did not let it go at that, but instead wrote a report.

From the report, it was learned that Feng Feng had actually known for a long time that Haizao was cheating.

At first, the suspected target was Chen Shunfei.

As it turned out, Mao Yu's wife had sought him out and shown Feng Feng intimate photos of the two of them.

The report was filled with resentment between the lines!

A dignified government official, taking the salary of the common people,

actually doing things that violate public order, good customs, and moral ethics!

A public servant who claims to be wholeheartedly doing good for the people,

has actually turned into an enemy of the people who engages in extortion and has lost all conscience!

After Mao Yu finished reading the materials, he hurriedly defended himself, "Secretary Han, this is absolutely splashing dirty water on me. Actually, it is very simple to prove this matter; you can have my wife testify. I can call her right now."

Han Zhengyi looked at Mao Yu calmly.

He watched how he performed without stopping him.

Mao Yu nervously dialed his wife's phone number.

"Wife, I'm in Secretary Han's office; he has something he wants to ask you about."

His wife sensed that something was wrong, "Okay, what is it?"

Han Zhengyi took the phone from Mao Yu's hand, "A few days ago, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection received a whistleblowing letter regarding Comrade Mao Yu. The letter says that he has a kept-woman relationship with someone called Li Haizao. At the time, you took the photos and told the whistleblower."

His wife had not expected Feng Feng to be so impulsive as to write a report to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

She was very disappointed in Mao Yu, but she had only hoped to warn him to just have a fling on the side and not to go further and further, and to settle down as soon as possible.

Clearly, she had not expected that her actions would trigger a chain reaction.

"Secretary Han, there is absolutely no such thing. I have an understanding of Mao Yu's character; he is a person with a special sense of family responsibility." His wife lied to help Mao Yu against her conscience.

Mao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

How could Han Zhengyi not see that the woman was providing cover for her husband?

He returned the phone to Mao Yu.

Mao Yu said to his wife, "I'll explain it to you later."

After hanging up the phone, having had his wife testify for him,

Mao Yu felt emboldened again.

"Secretary Han, I hope the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will investigate this matter strictly. The person who submitted the whistleblowing letter must have done so in an organized and planned way; there must be a black hand behind him."

Seeing that Mao Yu still would not reflect, Han Zhengyi felt extremely disappointed.

He reminded him again, "I think you should still deeply reflect on yourself right now; if you think it through now, there is still a chance."

Mao Yu continued to force himself to remain calm, "Secretary Han, I am upright and do not fear a crooked shadow. I guarantee to you that I have no relationship with Chen Shunfei, and I don't even know this Li-whatever-zao."

Han Zhengyi nodded slightly and said calmly, "I called you here mainly to understand the situation. If you are innocent, the Discipline Inspection Commission will take action and deal with the whistleblower according to the law."

Mao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, then I can rest easy."

After Mao Yu left, Han Zhengyi's heart was filled with disappointment.

He still trusted Mao Yu quite a bit, and even intended to groom him as his successor.

Originally, Mao Yu was also an ambitious young man, but ever since he took the position of Standing Committee Deputy County Mayor, he had changed a great deal.

From time to time, there were bad rumors, and as for his relationship with Chen Shunfei, Han Zhengyi was also aware of it.

It was just that he hadn't expected things to evolve into such a dire situation.

Han Zhengyi knew what the whistleblowing letter forwarded by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection meant.

It indicated the attitude of the municipal authorities.

Han Zhengyi sighed helplessly; although he wanted to protect Mao Yu, it seemed meaningless.

Because he sensed that a large net had already been woven, surrounding Mao Yu.

If he were to get involved at this time, it would only make him passive.

Mao Yu was also too irrational.

Tang Ye had taken office with a mission.

Among them was an important task, which was the death of Zhou Songtao.

Could it be that Mao Yu was really related to the cause of Zhou Songtao's death?

If that were truly the case, Han Zhengyi would have to keep his distance from Mao Yu.

Mao Yu was very smart.

But the opponent he was facing was no rookie!

Tang Ye's step-by-step pressure was gradually tightening around his throat, leaving him with no way to parry!
