Chapter 113: Giving You an Ultimatum!

Monday morning.

Tang Ye found Chen Zhihua.

He discussed with him how to handle the illegal land transfer in Liuqiao Village!

Having obtained Chen Zhihua's support, Tang Ye took Xu Qiao and headed straight for the village committee office.

The Village Chief of Liuqiao Village was named Liu Guang; he was fifty-two years old, sticking out his big belly, crossing his legs, and chatting with a man in a suit and leather shoes.

"Were you satisfied last night?" the man opposite asked with a smile.

"Not bad, though she was a bit old." Liu Guang had a lewd grin on his face.

"So you like them younger; there's a college student in her twenties, I guarantee you'll like her." The man gave a knowing smile, "I'll set the place tonight, let's relax properly."

"I'm making President Chu spend money again!"

"As long as the project is implemented, what does this little bit of money count for?"

Chu Kun's expression suddenly shifted.

"Regarding that piece of land, I heard that your Town Mayor Tang Ye doesn't agree, and he wants you to think of a way."

"Just put your heart at ease, I've already contacted Town Mayor Zhong for you. He has connections in the county, especially in the Land and Resources Bureau; one word from him, go through the motions, and the land will be approved." Liu Guang was full of confidence.

"But I heard that the situation in your town is quite special, and the proposal we submitted last time has already been rejected by Tang Ye."

"If it really doesn't work out, you can take a piece of land our village had before; that owner is waiting to sell, the price might be a bit higher, but the location is better than the land you're planning to take now. I can help you haggle!"

Chu Kun said bluntly, "As far as I know, that plot of land is disputed."

"President Chu, I can show you the approval documents for that land. You just go ahead and build; if the county really wants to investigate, I'll handle it for you. As for that man surnamed Tang, he's just a Seconded Official who doesn't understand anything; he's all show and no substance."

At this moment, the office door was pushed open heavily.

Tang Ye stood outside with an expressionless face.

He looked at Liu Guang with a sharp gaze.

Liu Guang felt angry at first.

He was meeting a guest; who was so blind as to dare to disturb him?

He looked closely and saw it was actually Tang Ye!

In an instant, it was as if he had been thrown into an ice cellar.

How could it be such a coincidence? He had just finished cursing Tang Ye, and this god of plague had appeared.

"Town Mayor Tang, why have you come so suddenly!" Liu Guang immediately trimmed his sails and changed into a different face.

"Do I need to make an appointment with you before I come?" Tang Ye's face was livid as he sat straight down in Liu Guang's office chair.

Chu Kun was shocked; was this the Tang Ye he had been racking his brains to meet?

He hadn't expected him to be so young.

It was just that the occasion was truly a bit awkward.

Why would Liu Guang slander Tang Ye behind his back?

Chu Kun's eyes then fell on the woman accompanying Tang Ye.

He thought to himself, this must be the Xu Qiao that Liu Guang often mentioned in private.

Her looks and figure were extremely outstanding; no wonder Liu Guang had always wanted to get his hands on her.

"Town Mayor Tang, have a cigarette!" Liu Guang hurriedly took out a cigarette and handed it over.

Tang Ye did not take the cigarette, "I can't afford such a favor."

Liu Guang smiled awkwardly, "It is our honor that you have come to Liuqiao Village to inspect our work. Is there some kind of misunderstanding?"

Tang Ye sneered, "Misunderstanding? My ears aren't deaf."

Liu Guang was at a loss, sensing that Tang Ye had come to hold him accountable.

Although he was unwilling in his heart, he still lowered his head and smiled apologetically.

"Town Mayor Tang, I spoke without thinking; if I have offended you, I apologize! I hope you are a magnanimous person and won't hold it against a crude man like me!"

"You not only speak without thinking, you also have the gall of a bear. In your eyes, is the entire Liuqiao Village your private garden, and are you the emperor? You can sell whatever land you want whenever you want?"

Liu Guang shivered; he realized that Tang Ye had come because of that complaint letter.

"Don't pin labels on me! Didn't I just brag a little to get President Chu to invest in Pinghu? Pinghu is yours to decide!"

Liu Guang gritted his teeth and decided to play the role of the grandson to the end.

Tang Ye saw that Liu Guang refused to admit his guilt.

He gave Xu Qiao a look.

Xu Qiao took a notebook out of her bag.

Tang Ye took it and smashed it directly onto Liu Guang's face.

Liu Guang was left dazed and confused by the blow!

"This is the evidence I recorded yesterday after visiting over two hundred households in Liuqiao Village!

On March 20, 2001, you colluded with your cronies, used coercion and bribery against the villagers, and successfully got elected as Village Chief.

On June 8, 2001, you occupied Liu Ziyi's fish pond, forcing Liu Ziyi's family of five to have their home destroyed and their family scattered.

On May 6, 2002, you colluded with Xu Jie to illegally transfer the farmland of Liuqiao Village, taking collective interests for your own.

On August 15, 2003, because Liu Dong ran against you for Village Chief, you sent people to threaten him.

On August 21, 2004, you were enraged by Liu Dong's petitioning and illegally detained him for three months, causing him to become mentally deranged.

……

You are even more impressive than Xu Yiping.

He only had twenty-some criminal charges.

Your various crimes add up to over a hundred..."

The content recorded in the notebook was even more detailed than what was mentioned in the complaint letters.

Liu Guang realized that Tang Ye had come prepared.

He said angrily, "Tang Ye, you are framing me!"

"Whether you've been framed or not, we will know after the organization investigates!" Tang Ye took out his phone and dialed a number, "You may come in now."

Liu Guang suddenly panicked, his whole body trembling!

Tang Ye had come prepared!

"Liu Guang, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I hope you cooperate with the Town Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation, confess everything truthfully, and spit out all the money you should. I am not discussing this with you; I am giving you an ultimatum."

Tang Ye's voice had just fallen.

Town Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Chen Cheng, Police Station Chief Ren Jun, and others walked in.

Liu Guang's lips trembled, and he grabbed Tang Ye's arm as if clutching a straw for survival.

"Town Mayor, I was wrong. Give me one chance, and I will listen to everything you say from now on."

Tang Ye sneered, "Secretary Chen, record his current appearance! Is this what a village cadre should say?"

Tang Ye gave his arm a shake and easily broke free from Liu Guang's entanglement.

Liu Guang did not expect Tang Ye to be so cold-blooded, and a fierce light burst from his eyes.

He was enraged by shame!

"Tang Ye, you actually dare to set me up. Don't be arrogant; if I end up with nothing, I will absolutely not let you have an easy time."

Consumed by rage, Liu Guang completely lost his reason.

Ren Jun rushed over immediately.

He threw a punch and hit him hard in the face.

"You've got some nerve, daring to lay a hand on Town Mayor Tang."

Afterward, he smashed another punch into his abdomen.

Liu Guang instantly turned into a pile of mush.

Two police officers dragged him out.

Tang Ye said to Chen Cheng with a grave expression, "We must investigate this to the very end!"

Chen Cheng nodded firmly, "Please rest assured, Town Mayor, we will certainly complete the mission!"

Tang Ye cast a faint glance at Chu Kun, "Mr. Chu, please do not be nervous. We are cracking down on the likes of Liu Guang to create a better business environment. We very much welcome law-abiding entrepreneurs to invest in Pinghu!"

Chu Kun was trembling with fear, not daring to even let out a breath.

Tang Ye walked out of the village committee office.

Many villagers were guarding the police cars, cracking melon seeds, and watching the excitement.

Sister Liu in the crowd recognized Tang Ye at a glance.

"Isn't that little Tang?"

"Little Tang is the Town Mayor?"

"Did he actually come to my house to investigate Liu Guang?"

"Town Mayor Tang, you've toppled the Village Bully; we thank you."

Tang Ye felt the goodwill and approval cast by the villagers.

His depressed mood eased quite a bit.

"Fellow villagers, please rest assured, we will certainly investigate Liu Guang's illegal and undisciplined behavior clearly. As for the losses caused by the previous irregularities in land transfer, we will provide compensation to everyone.

I apologize to everyone that a black sheep has appeared among the cadres.

I promise everyone that we will learn our lesson and such mistakes will never happen again.

You are welcome to supervise us!"

The villagers applauded one after another.

Xu Qiao was also applauding, her eyes filled with respect as she gazed at Tang Ye.
