Chapter 1209: Wu Xiuyuan Silences Witnesses on the High Seas!

~7 min read 1,385 words

Tang Ye set down the fruit basket and said with a smile, "You really have to thank Jiang Rou this time. If she hadn't been concerned about your safety and called me, I wouldn't have been able to help!"

A flash of helplessness and sorrow crossed Xie Yina's eyes. "I didn't expect Chen Xiaoyu to turn out like this. I should have been more cautious."

Tang Ye comforted her, "Everyone encounters all sorts of people. Chen Xiaoyu is guilty of heinous crimes, and the sanctions of the law await him. As for you, don't take other people's mistakes as your own burden."

Xie Yina thought to herself that Tang Ye's words were like a clear spring, making her heart feel much more at ease.

In truth, she hadn't had much of a good impression of Tang Ye before.

Because Tang Ye had a very good relationship with Jiang Rou, and was also highly valued and trusted by Jiang Jing.

Therefore, Xie Yina always felt that Tang Ye would side with Jiang Rou.

But after this incident, Xie Yina knew that Tang Ye had never been biased; he would also provide timely help when treating her.

If Tang Ye hadn't invited a doctor from Hanzhou, Xie Yina very likely would not have been able to save the baby this time.

So in Xie Yina's heart, Tang Ye was not only Jiang Jing's savior, but also the savior of her and her child.

"Because the baby is premature, it needs to be in an incubator, but don't worry, the hospital will arrange the best nurse."

Xie Yina nodded slightly. "I am very reassured!"

Xie Yina was a postpartum woman, and Tang Ye felt it was inappropriate for him to stay long; after sitting for a short while, he rose to leave.

Xie Kai hurriedly stood up to see Tang Ye off, accompanying him all the way to the parking lot.

Xie Kai's emotions suddenly erupted, and he gripped Tang Ye's hand tightly. "County Magistrate Tang, I owe you my life."

Tang Ye hadn't expected Xie Kai to show his true feelings, so he patted the back of his hand. "Please don't say that. If you need anything in the future, contact me anytime."

Xie Kai sighed, "I handled this matter immaturely. I thought Chen Xiaoyu was just a loser, so I didn't pay him any mind. If I had been alert sooner, the things that followed wouldn't have happened."

Tang Ye had some understanding of Xie Kai; this person was sometimes unreliable in his actions, but he was extremely concerned about Xie Yina.

"This matter wasn't just aimed at Mayor Jiang; it was also aimed at me. Even without Chen Xiaoyu, other twists and turns would have occurred. Don't feel too much guilt."

Xie Kai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said through gritted teeth, "Who exactly is it? I won't let them get away with this."

Tang Ye patted Xie Kai on the shoulder. "Don't worry, this bunch won't be able to jump around for much longer!"

Tang Ye sat in the back seat of the sedan.

Xie Kai waited until the sedan disappeared from view before turning back to return to the ward.

After these few contacts, Xie Kai had gained an understanding of Tang Ye.

This person was absolutely reliable.

No wonder Jiang Jing placed Tang Ye in a very important position.

Evening, around eight o'clock.

After finishing his work, Jiang Jing came to the ward and spoke with Xie Yina for a while.

"Tang Ye came by today and brought a fruit basket."

Jiang Jing nodded slightly, thinking to himself that Tang Ye was as high in emotional intelligence as ever.

Xie Yina remarked with emotion, "If Tang Ye hadn't helped, things would have blown up. Xie Kai showed me that article; it was very unfavorable to you."

Jiang Jing waved his hand and gave a wry smile. "Why did Xie Kai show you that!"

With red eyes, Xie Yina said shamefully, "I've caused you a lot of trouble. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

Jiang Jing pulled Xie Yina into his arms. "You encountered a bad person; what fault of your own is there? You are very brave, especially when you insisted on saving the baby during the emergency; it moved me deeply. I promise you, let the past be the past. From now on, we will live our lives well."

Xie Yina's heart felt as if it had been warmed by a spring breeze.

She nodded her head vigorously.

Jiang Jing found a sense of satisfaction from Xie Yina.

A man has a desire to protect a woman.

After leaving the ward, Jiang Jing dialed Tang Ye's phone.

"Gong Weimin talked to me today and stated his position: he supports me in this matter and will go all out to arrest the lawless elements behind it."

Tang Ye said, "Mayor Jiang, we have already found clues about Li Wenbo. We are waiting for the right opportunity."

Jiang Jing said coldly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Hanging up Tang Ye's call, Jiang Jing fell into deep thought.

He hadn't expected the dark, evil forces in Xiyang to be so bold and reckless.

If Tang Ye hadn't communicated with the provincial level in time, the negative public opinion about him would certainly have spread until everyone knew, and he would have become a big joke.

Jiang Jing secretly rejoiced that he had such a capable assistant as Tang Ye.

Li Wenbo followed Wu Xiuyuan to the Wharf.

Wu Xiuyuan pointed to a fishing boat not far away. "Today I'll let you experience the highest realm of eating fish. Once the fishing boat leaves the port and reaches the deep-sea area, the fish caught are the freshest. Without complex cooking techniques, just a simple preparation, it is the top-tier delicacy."

Li Wenbo had long heard of this form of recreation and said with some yearning, "Old Wu, you are becoming more and more of a connoisseur of life!"

Wu Xiuyuan chuckled twice and led Li Wenbo into the fishing boat.

After the fishing boat left the port, it sailed toward the high seas for a long time.

Li Wenbo wondered to himself why there was no sign of fishing.

Finally, the fishing boat came to a stop.

Wu Xiuyuan led Li Wenbo onto the deck, looked around, and said with a smile, "Li Siyan, tell me how you feel right now!"

Li Wenbo felt the seawater surrounding him, a sense of emptiness, and shivered. "Humans are still too insignificant."

Wu Xiuyuan grinned, his smile carrying a trace of coldness. "Li Siyan, this is the high seas. If I were to kill someone here, do you think anyone would know?"

Li Wenbo jumped, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "Old Wu, don't play such jokes on me; it's quite scary!"

Wu Xiuyuan saw through Li Wenbo's guilty conscience and laughed heartily. "Joking? You think I'm like you, liking to pass off viciousness as humor? To tell you the truth, I've long been sick of you. Bringing you to the high seas today is to make you disappear from this world completely!"

Li Wenbo instinctively took two steps back, "Wu Xiuyuan, we have our grievances, but there is no need for you to resort to murder. If I die, how will you answer to the Chairman?"

Wu Xiuyuan pulled a dagger from his pocket, licked the back of the blade with his tongue, and barked angrily, "You're at death's door, yet you still try to use Master Chai to pressure me. You've caused Master Chai such huge trouble; do you really think Master Chai will spare your life?"

Li Wenbo tried hard to stay calm and said in a deep voice, "Old Wu, you've been bewitched by that man surnamed Chai. Don't do anything foolish; if you have a murder case on your hands, you'll never be able to clear your name in this lifetime."

The fishy-smelling sea breeze, laden with moisture, lashed against Li Wenbo's face, no longer gentle, feeling like the slash of a blade.

He knew that Chai Zhenkun had sent him to Wu Xiuyuan's side.

It was not to leave him a way out.

Rather, it was to use Wu Xiuyuan's hand to make him disappear forever!
