Chapter 1123: Another Sky-High Political Achievement!

Xiao Jingyu sat inside the car, his expression becoming calm.

Such an outcome was, in fact, within expectations...

"I have a question, I wonder if you can tell me?"

The Team Leader of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection working group asked curiously, "What question?"

Xiao Jingyu said, "I just saw Zhou Chengwu. He said his next step is Qiongjin. May I know what position he will be holding?"

The Team Leader said, "Although the personnel appointment hasn't come down yet, it's not a secret. His next step will be to go to Qiongjin to serve as Mayor."

Although Xiao Jingyu knew that Zhou Chengwu would certainly be promoted, he did not expect Zhou Chengwu to take this step so smoothly.

Qiongjin is a sub-provincial city, and the cadres there are all half a rank higher.

This step is not as simple as just being promoted to the Deputy Ministerial Level.

The next step would be having the opportunity to break into the Provincial Party Committee leadership team.

At this moment, Xiao Jingyu's heart was full of remorse.

If he hadn't competed with Zhou Chengwu back then, and had just endured for four years, once Zhou Chengwu left Hanzhou, he could have logically been promoted to Municipal Party Secretary.

Four years—if he had just endured, in the blink of an eye, wouldn't it have passed?

"Who will serve as Municipal Party Secretary?" Xiao Jingyu asked with difficulty.

"It hasn't been decided yet." The Team Leader did not continue, "Once the personnel appointment comes down, I will tell you!"

Wan Ming and the working group from the province completed the handover of Xiao Jingyu.

Watching the motorcade leave, Wan Ming swung his fist fiercely.

In order to arrest Xiao Jingyu across borders, he had arranged for people to closely track him for over two years.

Arresting someone across ten thousand miles requires considering many details; during this process, Wan Ming kept in contact with Tang Ye.

Therefore, Tang Ye's valuable suggestions were of great help to the successful arrest.

Now that there was finally a result to report, Wan Ming dialed Tang Ye's phone number.

"Xiao Jingyu has already been transferred to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. According to the preliminary information grasped, Xiao Jingyu hid quite a few assets domestically; although they are fewer than his assets abroad, some economic losses have still been recovered."

Tang Ye laughed, "Well done!"

Wan Ming smiled, "Er Zi, this kid is very sharp. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would have been hard to achieve this effect."

Tang Ye said, "Er Zi has worked by your side for many years, you should give him some opportunities."

Wan Ming said, "I plan to let him go to the county to be a Deputy Bureau Chief, temper him for a few years, and then transfer him to the City Bureau."

Tang Ye praised, "That is a good line of thinking."

Wan Ming said, "By the way, I have leads on the matter you asked me to investigate."

Tang Ye was somewhat surprised, "You have news about Jiao Junjie?"

Wan Ming said, "Yes, he opened a Chinese restaurant abroad, and the business is doing quite well."

Tang Ye said softly, "Taking the demolition compensation money of the Old Lock Factory's common people to go abroad and live the high life—he really is a piece of scum."

Wan Ming said with a smile, "If you have a need, you can have the Yechuan Public Security Bureau contact me. I will provide the relevant clues."

Tang Ye said, "Mm, I will have someone contact you in a moment."

Hanging up Wan Ming's call, Tang Ye let out a sigh of relief.

Xiao Jingyu being caught and brought back was, in fact, within his expectations.

Because this net had been laid for many years, and now that it was suddenly cast, the timing was chosen very subtly.

Zhou Chengwu was about to leave.

The Hanzhou leadership team was about to undergo adjustments.

Arresting Xiao Jingyu could serve to stabilize the morale of the troops.

At the same time, it also let those forces attempting to obstruct Du Chengfeng's rise weigh their own importance.

The forces opposing Zhou Chengwu were mostly very close to Xiao Jingyu.

This was a plan Tang Ye had been brewing for two years, designed mainly to be able to push his father-in-law a step further.

It was just that he hadn't expected this arrangement to end up having no value.

Du Chengfeng had done very well in his post and had gained Zhou Chengwu's recognition.

Additionally, at the Provincial Party Committee level, Cheng Guodong, Fu Yagang, and others also spoke up for Du Chengfeng, so this layout appeared insignificant.

Of course, this matter still had an unexpected harvest.

That was, through the cross-border arrest, he found Jiao Junjie, who had embezzled funds and fled from the Old Lock Factory back then!

Tang Ye dialed Zheng Shaokang's phone number.

"County Magistrate Zheng, is it convenient for you to come to my office for a moment?"

"It's convenient, I'll come over right now." Once Zheng Shaokang heard it was Tang Ye, how could there be any reason not to cooperate?

These past few days, both Shaan Province and Huai Province held commendation conferences for cross-provincial exchange cadres.

Tang Ye, with the most eye-catching achievements, appeared on the A2 page of the Huai Province Daily.

In this news article, Tang Ye's story was placed in the primary position; besides those political achievements that had been heard of before, there was also the evaluation of Tang Ye by Provincial Party Secretary Wen Zhengming.

Hoping that young cadres across the province would take Comrade Tang Ye as a learning example, display a spirit of not fearing difficulties and obstacles in grassroots work, utilize their own wisdom, and always put the interests of the common people in the primary position...

Zheng Shaokang first arrived at Ma Ran's office.

Ma Ran hurriedly stood up, "County Magistrate Zheng, County Magistrate Tang is waiting for you. I will take you over."

Ma Ran knocked on the door, and after Zheng Shaokang sat on the sofa, he poured a cup of tea for Zheng Shaokang, then went out.

Tang Ye came before Zheng Shaokang and pushed a slip of paper with a number written on it over.

"County Magistrate Zheng, calling you over is mainly for the Old Lock Factory's demolition compensation money. At that time, Jiao Junjie took all the money in the account and fled; inside it was not only the demolition compensation money but also the reconstruction funds for the lock factory. I received news that Jiao Junjie used this money to open a Chinese restaurant abroad, remarried and had children, and is living very freely. Contact the number on this slip of paper, and he will provide you with relevant clues."

Zheng Shaokang's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Tang Ye's meaning, "I will contact him; even if he is at the Ends of the Earth, I will have this scoundrel caught and brought back."

Tang Ye knew that Zheng Shaokang was a smart man.

Compared to capturing Xiao Jingyu, the difficulty was much lower.

It was done!

It was another massive political achievement!

"You must pay attention to confidentiality; you must choose people you can trust, and you cannot alert the enemy."

Zheng Shaokang nodded slightly, "County Magistrate Tang, please rest assured, I will not let any word leak out!"

Returning to his office, Zheng Shaokang dialed the number on the slip of paper.

"Hello, I am Yechuan County Magistrate Zheng Shaokang. May I ask if you are Bureau Chief Wan?"

Wan Ming nodded, "I am Wan Ming. Hello, County Magistrate Zheng."

Zheng Shaokang explained his purpose, "I received instructions from County Magistrate Tang to contact you; I would like to understand the situation and see if you have any leads on Jiao Junjie being abroad."

Wan Ming said, "Yes, our people have a certain understanding of his whereabouts, and we can share the information with you."

Zheng Shaokang had not expected Wan Ming to be so easy to talk to, realizing that the other party was only being so candid for the sake of Tang Ye.

"Bureau Chief Wan, thank you so much. What I am quite confused about right now is, if we manage to control Jiao Junjie, how do we bring him back from abroad?"

Wan Ming said easily, "I have experience; I can tell you the arrest procedures."

Hanging up the phone with Wan Ming, Zheng Shaokang's gaze became determined.

As someone in the public security system, Zheng Shaokang knew Wan Ming very well.

Wan Ming had repeatedly solved major cases over the past few years and was recognized as a master detective in the Huai Province public security system.

When a person has fame and has accumulated experience, their network of connections and resources naturally becomes different.

Although he and Wan Ming were at the same administrative rank of Deputy Division Level, in reality, the platform and level Wan Ming occupied were higher than his.

Therefore, in his own view, wanting to capture Jiao Junjie across borders was an almost impossible task to achieve.

But in Wan Ming's view, as long as the procedures were correct, capturing Jiao Junjie was easier than capturing Xiao Jingyu.

This was mainly because Xiao Jingyu had been controlled by someone else.

Moreover, Jiao Junjie had no vigilance...
