Chapter 1145: The Key Person Has Been Found!

Song Ci arrived at the hospital at the first opportunity.

Seeing the smile on her daughter's face, Song Qing was somewhat surprised.

Song Ci said impatiently, "Dad, it's found! That batch of goods, it's found!"

A look of shock appeared in Song Qing's eyes, "You aren't lying to me, are you? Where was it found?"

Song Ci explained, "It was found in a warehouse at Zhaojiang Wharf."

Song Qing was stunned, a look of concern and self-reproach appearing on his face, "You were too bold; that group of people are gangsters. Didn't I tell you not to get involved in muddy waters?"

Song Ci smiled, "I went with County Magistrate Tang of Yechuan County, and the police from the County Public Security Bureau accompanied us. Zhaojiang Wharf was sealed off directly."

A look of pleasant surprise appeared in Song Qing's eyes, "That's great. I must hurry and find a way to hand this batch of goods over to the buyer."

Song Ci held Song Qing's hand and said softly, "I have already made contact; the Yechuan County Government arranged vehicles to transport the Lime Stone over. County Magistrate Tang spoke with the Municipal Government and ordered the buyer not to pursue breach of contract liabilities."

Hearing this, Song Qing lay back slowly and sighed, "This time, I owe it all to you."

Song Ci wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Dad, why are you saying this to me? The most urgent matter is for you to actively cooperate with the treatment and not be like you were before."

Song Qing nodded slightly, "Alright, I should indeed pull myself together."

Seeing Song Qing's mood improve and his entire mental state change, Song Ci secretly thought that Tang Ye was indeed right; her father appeared to have physical injuries, but in reality, he was suffering from a heart ailment.

A heart ailment requires a heart-cure; now that the problem was solved, his state was immediately different.

Leaving the ward, Song Ci dialed Zhao Jing's phone number.

"Jingjing, thank your boyfriend properly for me."

Zhao Jing reacted quickly, "The matter with your dad's company is resolved?"

Song Ci smiled, "Yes, it's already resolved. To be honest, I thought your new boyfriend was quite unreliable before; I didn't expect him to help me so much this time."

Zhao Jing shook her head, unable to laugh or cry, "It's good that the matter is resolved."

Song Ci added, "I want to invite you both to dinner. To thank you both properly."

Zhao Jing smiled and teased, "You want to invite County Magistrate Tang, right? He has a very high profile and is very hard to invite."

Song Ci hurriedly tried to make up for it, "No, I am specifically inviting the two of you. It would be best if I could invite County Magistrate Tang, but mainly I have to thank you and President Xie; if you hadn't acted as the go-between, he wouldn't have been willing to help me."

Hanging up the phone with Song Ci,

Zhao Jing said to Xie Kai, "The call was from Song Ci, saying the matter with her father's company is resolved. That County Magistrate Tang you introduced last time helped her."

A look of surprise appeared in Xie Kai's eyes, then he said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you? In this territory of Xiyang City, there is nothing I cannot handle."

Zhao Jing collapsed directly into Xie Kai's arms and sighed, "Yes, who told you to be the brother-in-law of Mayor Jiang. By the way, Song Ci wants to invite County Magistrate Tang to dinner."

Xie Kai smiled, "Song Ci still has a conscience. I'll ask, but I'm not certain."

Zhao Jing said indignantly, "So little confidence? He is a County Magistrate, and you are the Mayor's brother-in-law! Shouldn't he be trying to curry favor with you?"

Xie Kai felt a bit awkward inside and had to put on a brave face, smiling, "I am a relatively lofty person; not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is worth me befriending."

Xie Kai stroked Zhao Jing's cheek and smiled as he dialed Tang Ye's number.

"President Xie, is there something?"

"I am here specifically to thank you. Your efficiency is too fast. It's only been a few days, and you've already helped Song Ci solve her trouble. She wants to invite you to dinner; I don't know if you have the time to grace us with your presence!"

Tang Ye smiled faintly, "No need to be so polite, it was just a small effort. I appreciate the sentiment, but let's skip the dinner!"

Hearing Tang Ye say this, Xie Kai said, "Alright, I will tell her."

Hanging up the phone with Tang Ye, Zhao Jing said indignantly, "Song Ci didn't say she wanted to invite him to dinner."

Xie Kai said, "People helped with such a big favor, can I not be sensible?"

Zhao Jing nodded slightly, "Yes, yes, yes, you are the one who is thoughtful; you are the most sensible."

……

Tang Ye received a call from Zheng Shaokang in the evening.

"County Magistrate Tang, we have found the key person through interrogating Cai Lin!"

"Who?"

"According to Cai Lin's confession, the person in charge of Zhaojiang Wharf is named Wu Xiuyuan.

When unloading cargo, the acts of pilfering, extortion, and blackmail were generally carried out under the direct instructions of Wu Xiuyuan."

Tang Ye said in a deep voice, "Do you know Wu Xiuyuan's whereabouts?"

Zheng Shaokang shook his head, "Wu Xiuyuan is the Vice President of Zhenao Group. I arranged for people to go to Zhenao Group to ask, and the company claimed that Wu Xiuyuan did not come to work today. Subsequently, we went to his residence to search, and the residential complex security guard indicated that he saw him drive to the company in the morning."

Tang Ye analyzed, "It seems that Wu Xiuyuan knew something happened at Zhaojiang Wharf, so he went into hiding."

Zheng Shaokang frowned, "Yes. As long as Wu Xiuyuan cannot be found, all the problems at Zhaojiang Wharf can be pushed onto him."

Tang Ye rubbed his chin, "This matter can only be handled this way for now. I didn't expect the other side to react so quickly."

Zheng Shaokang said, "By the way, you mentioned before that you wanted to see the warehouse inventory; I have already had people organize it and just sent it to your email.

There is really too much stuff inside; it will take you some effort to look through it."

"Alright, I will look at it in a moment."

In Zheng Shaokang's view, with so much data, the audit department might not even be able to finish reading it in a month or two.

Tang Ye would most likely just give it a cursory glance and would find it hard to find anything substantial.

"By the way, as the Police Station Chief of Zhaojiang Police Station, Cai Guobiao has committed serious disciplinary violations in this matter; he must be severely punished and absolutely cannot be condoned."

"County Magistrate Tang, please rest assured, I have already had Cai Guobiao dismissed from his post." Zheng Shaokang's voice was full of shame, "This matter was my lack of consideration; I bear an inescapable responsibility."

Tang Ye did not dwell too much on this matter and reminded him, "The unhealthy social atmosphere in Yechuan County was not formed in a day or two. To change it thoroughly, just shouting a few slogans is absolutely not enough; one must take actual action."

Zheng Shaokang said in a deep voice, "I have remembered your words."

Tang Ye continued, "County Magistrate Zheng, I hope that what you are saying is not just to fob me off. You must go to the grassroots level more often and listen to the real voices of the common people.

Right now, the common people are all saying that the gang forces in Yechuan are particularly rampant, and there are fights and brawls almost every day. To be honest, every time I hear this feedback, I feel particularly ashamed in my heart."

Zheng Shaokang secretly thought that Tang Ye's tongue was like it had been dipped in poison; every word pierced the heart, leaving one with no place to hide their face.

"County Magistrate Tang, rest assured; give me three months, and I will let you see the social atmosphere take on a brand-new look."

"I'll remember those words. I hope you aren't just bragging. If there is improvement after three months, I will request a commendation for you; if there is no change at all after three months, what will you do then?"

Zheng Shaokang was unknowingly pushed to the edge of a cliff.

He gritted his teeth and steeled his heart: "If there is no change, I will voluntarily step down from my position as Public Security Bureau Chief and quit!"

Tang Ye secretly thought that the provocation tactic had taken effect.

"Don't just throw in the towel so easily; work hard, and I'll be waiting to see your results."

After hanging up the phone with Zheng Shaokang, Tang Ye looked out the window and secretly thought that his ability to do ideological work had also unknowingly risen with the tide.

After waiting for half an hour, a new email notification appeared in his inbox.

Tang Ye pulled up the list.

He flipped through the data very quickly, reading ten lines at a glance.

In less than two hours, he had finished reading all the data.

A few pieces of information caught his attention.

The two oil tankers, "Xishun No. 66" and "Xishun No. 166".

The list showed that these two oil tankers had records every so often, but the content was somewhat strange, with remarks such as "jin," "eat," and "full" noted down.

This was clearly a code!

Behind this, could there be some kind of trickery hidden...
