Chapter 1176: Yang Guoxiong Regrets His Past Actions!

The news of Yang Guoxiong being arrested was like a bolt from the blue for his ex-wife!

The world she had painstakingly managed had collapsed!

She had been struggling recently with when to remarry Yang Guoxiong!

She dialed her brother's number.

"Old Yang has been arrested, sob, can you save him?"

Her brother sighed, "His arrest was only a matter of time."

"Within this past month, a lot of news has reached my ears."

"I heard he was working out of a hotel, and his office at the Municipal Government was just for show."

"If this matter gets out, it will become a huge joke!"

The ex-wife asked in surprise, "There is actually such a thing?"

Her brother did not know if his sister was truly naive or just pretending.

Since things had reached this point, he chose to lay his cards on the table.

"I never dared to tell you. He has been involved with several women..."

The ex-wife actually knew that Yang Guoxiong must have had women on the side, but she had always let herself pretend not to know.

Now, her brother's words stung her self-esteem.

"Brother, I know he was fooling around outside. But, at his position, many women would come flocking. Yet he was always good to me. He had a premonition that something would happen to him, so he divorced me and gave me all his money. Just for this, I must help him."

Her brother was silent for a few seconds, "The Discipline Inspection Commission wouldn't arrest someone without having gathered a massive amount of evidence. You divorced him, which is the perfect way to distance yourself, why be so foolish?"

The ex-wife choked with sobs, "Brother, we were husband and wife after all; I cannot just watch him go in. You know many people, can you pull some strings?"

Her brother said helplessly, "The only way now is to actively return the illicit gains and strive for leniency, so he can serve a few years less in prison." Hearing that she needed to return the loot, the ex-wife gave a bitter smile, "He might be a bit of a flirt, but he never touched money. I don't have much money in my hands either."

Her brother was silent for a few seconds and warned, "You are still too naive. Is there a possibility that he hid a lot of dirty money from you..."

Upon hearing this, the ex-wife suddenly did not know how to express herself.

Her brother said softly, "If nothing goes wrong, the Discipline Inspection Commission will come to talk to you. Do not think about hiding anything for him; if there are any issues, push them onto him and just say that you yourself were unaware."

The ex-wife knew her brother was looking out for her, but she was still somewhat hesitant.

Acting out a fake scenario until it becomes real.

Letting the fake divorce become a real divorce!

For a moment, she found it hard to accept this fact.

The next morning, not long after Jin Baoling started work, a group of people in uniforms arrived at her office.

Jin Baoling immediately knew the intent of this group, slowly stood up, and said in an extremely cooperative manner, "You must be the comrades from Xiyang; I will go with you."

From Yang Guoxiong's reaction last night, Jin Baoling had already seen that she had no way out.

With Yang Guoxiong under investigation, her relationship with him would inevitably be exposed.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Jin Baoling took the initiative to hand over a bank card.

"There are over three million in here; these are my illegal gains from all these years."

"I am willing to voluntarily confess how this money came to be!"

The staff members did not expect Jin Baoling to be so cooperative, "Your attitude in admitting your mistakes is very good. We want to know about your relationship with Yang Guoxiong."

Jin Baoling said with a blank expression, "Yang Guoxiong was not only my superior but also my lover. For so many years, I maintained an improper sexual relationship with him. Under his manipulation, I went from being a hotel attendant to a section chief at the Environmental Protection Bureau, and then a Deputy Director..."

The staff member hurriedly asked, "What about that Golden Mouse? Please explain that!"

Jin Baoling said, "After Mao Yu was arrested, he had his wife dispose of it. As it turned out, his wife was greedy and stupid; she didn't dispose of the mouse and even transferred four hundred thousand to the Integrity Account. To make up for the loss, he threw the mouse to me to handle. I then had Zhao Ping clear the accounts through an environmental company."

The staff member's eyes lit up, "The lead you provided is very critical!"

After parting ways with Jin Baoling,

the staff members immediately told the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection working group about the circulation trail of the Golden Mouse.

The working group arranged for people to check the collection records of the Integrity Account, and sure enough, they found that sum of money.

Faced with the transfer records of the Integrity Account, Yang Guoxiong knew there was no point in being stubborn anymore and confessed everything about his corruption and bribery over the past few years, just like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

He never expected that Jin Baoling would betray him.

He never expected that the fake mouse would become the source of his downfall.

And he even less expected that his own transfer record to the Integrity Account would become evidence of his corruption!

Yang Guoxiong wrote down the illegal things he had done over these years.

The more he sorted through them, the more terrified he became!

He had actually done so many bad things.

Back in the day, he was also full of spirit, wanting to make a contribution with his own strength.

However, he had unknowingly gone down the wrong path.

He had become the person he most despised and looked down upon.

He was now particularly regretful.

He regretted that he had overreached himself.

And he regretted even more that he had not clearly recognized the trends.

Of course, what chilled his heart the most was that the woman he had once treated like a plaything had been so decisive and ruthless when betraying him...

As for his ex-wife, although she did not betray him, she did not take out her private savings to help him return the loot and reduce his sentence.

She kept saying she loved him, but in the end, she loved money more.

When Jiang Jing arrived in Xiyang, he should have immediately reined in his sharpness and cleared up all those messy things he had been involved in.

The arrest of his own brother, Yang Guofeng, was actually a strong warning.

He was not prepared at that time.

After carefully sorting things out, Yang Guoxiong knew his mistake was underestimating Tang Ye's destructive power.

"Yang Guoxiong, you were wrong in such an outrageous way. Why go against Jiang Jing? Why provoke his trusted aide Tang Ye?"

"No, it wasn't me provoking them. It was that I had been targeted by them long ago!"

"Yang Guofeng, you have ruined me. Why did you have to go see Zhou Songtao on the day he died? If it weren't for being implicated in Zhou Songtao's death, you wouldn't have been targeted!"

"I hate this!"

After Tang Ye finished attending the County Magistrate meeting held by the city, he came to Jiang Jing's office.

Like Tang Ye, Jiang Jing used Hanzhou Green to entertain others.

Jiang Jing took a sip of tea and said in a relaxed tone, "Yang Guoxiong has confessed."

Tang Ye knew about this matter.

The County Audit Bureau received news yesterday that the Municipal Audit Bureau had taken over the investigation into Tianlu Company.

From this change, it could be confirmed that Tianlu Company had blown up a massive scandal.

The scope of the search not only covered Yechuan County but also extended to the entire city's transportation system.

As for those corrupt personnel, every single one of them, whether they were big fish or small fish, would all be rooted out!

Not only would Chen Ning, who was behind it, have problems, but Yang Guoxiong, who was in charge of transportation, could not escape involvement either.

"Yang Guoxiong confessed faster than I imagined." Tang Ye's tone carried a hint of disdain and relief.

Jiang Jing said, "It was mainly because the few clues you provided were very critical, especially that fake Golden Mouse."

Tang Ye said modestly, "It was still you who withstood the pressure."

A complex look flashed across Jiang Jing's face, "Secretary Weimin is very troubled right now, because I gave him a difficult problem!"
