Chapter 1131: Jin Baoling Is in Trouble!

Hotel.

Yang Guofeng pushed open the room door.

Jin Baoling sat on the sofa, her expression gloomy.

His first reaction was that Jin Baoling was in trouble!

And it wasn't a small matter!

Sure enough.

Jin Baoling immediately stood up, walked toward Yang Guofeng, grabbed his wrist, and said with an anxious tone, "Mayor Yang, there's a problem. What should I do!"

Yang Guofeng's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained composed and unmoved. "Don't make a fuss, what kind of trouble could there be?"

Jin Baoling bit her lip and said helplessly, "Zhao Ping has been arrested. I'm so nervous right now."

An impression formed in Yang Guofeng's mind. "Zhao Ping? The Deputy Bureau Chief of the Yechuan County Environmental Protection Bureau? How could she be in trouble?"

Jin Baoling nodded and said, "It was yesterday afternoon; the Police suddenly took her away from a beauty salon. I've known Zhao Ping for many years, and our relationship is... very good. Can you find a way to get her released?"

Yang Guofeng took out his phone and dialed a number.

This person was an informant he had planted in Yechuan County.

"Mayor Yang, hello. It's so late, is there something the matter?"

"I'm asking you about something. Has the Deputy Bureau Chief of the County Environmental Protection Bureau, Zhao Ping, been arrested?"

"Yes, it was a very sudden arrest."

"Why didn't you tell me in time! Do you know the reason?"

"It happened suddenly! It is said to be related to Xiao Junjie. When the lock factory was relocated and rebuilt, the funds were publicly claimed to have been transferred away by Xiao Junjie. However, according to the interrogation of Xiao Junjie, it was discovered that many people participated in splitting the money. Zhao Ping also received a sum of money."

"Got it! If you can look after her, then look after her!" Yang Guofeng hinted.

"It's very difficult, I can only say I will do my best!" The other party gave a helpless, bitter smile. "My suggestion is, if you don't act decisively when you should, you will suffer from the chaos later!"

Yang Guofeng said, "I understand what you mean."

Hanging up the phone, Yang Guofeng looked at the tearful Jin Baoling, and an inexplicable irritation welled up in his heart.

Recently, it seemed that nothing was going smoothly.

Jin Baoling asked through tears, "Is there a solution?"

Yang Guofeng stroked his chin and pondered, "There have been major movements in Yechuan County recently, and I don't have many options either. Do you have any financial dealings with her?"

Jin Baoling hesitated, then said vaguely, "I have known her for many years, and we are very good friends."

Yang Guofeng slapped the table with a deep voice and said displeasedly, "If you want me to help, please tell me the truth."

Jin Baoling nodded slightly. "I do have financial dealings with her. That environmental testing company is run by her cousin."

Yang Guofeng realized that Jin Baoling must have held secret shares in it, and he paced back and forth in anger. "How many times have I told you to be cautious in your actions? How could you be so careless! The qualifications of this environmental testing company are problematic; it is very likely to lead to your total ruin."

A look of nervousness appeared in Jin Baoling's eyes. "Mayor Yang, I have no other choice now, I can only beg for your help."

Yang Guofeng sighed. "If it were any other county, it would be easier to talk about, but the County Magistrate of Yechuan County was just transferred down from the provincial level. He has a deep background and has a grudge against me. How about this: you have someone send a message inside—let her admit to what she must, and don't let the matter escalate."

Jin Baoling understood that Yang Guofeng intended to discard her like a worn-out shoe, and she sighed, "Is there really no way to save her?"

Yang Guofeng held Jin Baoling's waist, made her sit down, and gently stroked her back, soothing her. "Those who achieve great things must have the decisiveness to kill and act."

Jin Baoling suddenly remembered something. "Do you still remember that Golden Mouse?"

Yang Guofeng's heart skipped a beat. "Yes, why did you suddenly bring that up?"

Jin Baoling said uneasily, "I was the one who had Zhao Ping handle that Golden Mouse."

Yang Guofeng widened his eyes and said angrily, "Does she know that I was the one who handed that Golden Mouse to you to handle?"

Jin Baoling nodded slightly. "Of course she knows, otherwise how could she have spent hundreds of thousands to buy a fake golden mouse?"

Yang Guofeng pushed Jin Baoling away. Originally, he had wanted to stay out of it, but he seemed unable to avoid this matter now.

"Jin Baoling, oh Jin Baoling, you've killed me."

Jin Baoling was furious at Yang Guofeng's attitude, but she dared not vent her anger directly. While wiping away tears in grievance, she complained, "I have always been doing my best to help you. How could I harm you?"

Yang Guofeng realized he had lost control of his emotions and sighed. "I know you didn't mean it. We are all in the same boat. When the boat reaches the middle of the lake and there is a hole in the bottom, leaking water, no one can escape. I will find a way to send a message to Zhao Ping and have her take the fall for this matter."

At this moment, Jin Baoling could only comfort herself that Yang Guofeng must have a way to resolve this.

"Okay, I didn't expect her to get into trouble either."

Yang Guofeng said in a deep voice, "We have known each other for so many years, and we have an understanding between us. If one day I get into trouble, don't be as panicked as you are today. I will absolutely never mention you; as for you, you must distance yourself from me when the time comes."

Jin Baoling hurriedly hugged Yang Guofeng. "No, I won't abandon you."

Yang Guofeng smiled. "I'm just talking about the worst-case scenario. I won't fall easily."

Jin Baoling stared at Yang Guofeng, perhaps knowing that Yang Guofeng was brainwashing her.

But at this moment, she still couldn't help but feel a bit moved.

"Mayor Yang, I respect you very much. If it weren't for your promotion of me, I would still be a waitress at the hotel. Please rest assured, if one day I get into trouble, I will absolutely never betray you."

Yang Guofeng kissed Jin Baoling's brow. "I have never doubted your loyalty to me."

Jin Baoling hugged Yang Guofeng's neck, and her breathing became rapid.

Yang Guofeng only felt his neck being tightened, unable to breathe, and his head buzzed!

A surge of heat spread from his dantian.

Worry, anger, and unease were all thrown to the back of his mind...

After Yang Guofeng and Jin Baoling "finished their romance," he went downstairs.

The Secretary, Jing Le, was guarding the car. Seeing Yang Guofeng appear, he hurriedly opened the car door.

"Xiao Jing, how many years have you been with me?"

"It's been three years," Jing Le said quickly.

Yang Guofeng nodded slightly. "Three years is not a short time! By the way, has there been any movement in Yechuan County recently?"

Jing Le said, "Yechuan County has proposed a Bus Village-to-Village Project, wanting to open up bus routes from the county seat to the townships."

Yang Guofeng frowned, "I'm afraid this is another idea Tang Ye came up with, isn't it?"

Jing Le said, "Yes. This person is too good at stirring things up."

Yang Guofeng sneered, "He is still too eager for quick success! Is he not afraid of infringing upon the interests of certain people?"

Jing Le hurriedly said, "The Yechuan County Transportation Bureau has already gathered personnel for a meeting to solicit opinions. According to what I have learned privately, the voices of opposition are particularly loud."

Yang Guofeng nodded slightly, a look of severity appearing at the corners of his mouth!

"Only by letting him feel the voices of the grassroots will he have a sense of awe!"
