Chapter 1334: Intentionally Not Arresting Zhang Laosan!

Zheng Shaokang walked out of the Interrogation Room.

A subordinate approached him and whispered, "Mayor Geng of Wenyang City wants to see you."

Zheng Shaokang waved his hand, "I won't see him."

After the subordinate left, Tang Ye patted Zheng Shaokang on the shoulder to provide him with some mental preparation, "You will certainly face great pressure regarding this matter!"

"Don't worry, I can handle it! I've long found these scoundrels from Wenyang to be an eyesore." Zheng Shaokang paused and said with admiration, "Your decision to intentionally leave Zhang Xianzu unarrested so he could remain active outside is truly brilliant!"

Tang Ye shook his head and sighed, "To deal with this bunch, one must use their brain. They are too cunning."

They had arrested Tang Ying, the wife of Zhang Xianguang, but had intentionally left Zhang Laosan unarrested.

In fact, this was a trap.

Intentionally not arresting Zhang Laosan!

Letting Zhang Laosan seek help outside!

On the battlefield, this is a classic tactic—besieging a point to strike at reinforcements!

First, besiege the "point" that is Zhang Xianguang, then set an ambush on the perimeter, and once those who come to rescue him appear, defeat the reinforcements one by one.

If this were during wartime, Tang Ye would be an excellent commander.

The two walked side by side into another Interrogation Room.

They had set a large net, and it remained to be seen how many big fish they could catch.

For all of Xiyang, these next few days were destined to be bloody!

In the adjacent Interrogation Room, two police officers had already completed the preliminary interrogation of Tang Ying.

Tang Ye picked up the interrogation record and was surprised to find that Tang Ying was actually very cooperative.

He quickly understood the reason for this.

Tang Ying wanted to take the blame upon herself to protect Zhang Xianguang.

It had to be said that Tang Ying was quite a loyal woman.

Tang Ye sat down and introduced himself to Tang Ying,

"My name is Tang Ye, and I am the County Magistrate of Yechuan County. Not long ago, three employees from your company came to our Yechuan County to incite trouble. Was this also arranged by you?"

Tang Ying had long heard of Tang Ye's name, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes, "You are Tang Ye?"

Tang Ye nodded, "Yes, it seems we haven't met before."

"You are quite famous," Tang Ying said. "I am the legal representative of Dashou Insurance Company; if any problems arise, I naturally have to take responsibility. I admit that in order to meet performance targets, those below me hired a group of people with complicated social backgrounds. But as for the inciting of trouble, I was unaware of it; that was their own doing!"

Tang Ye asked, "Your husband was also unaware?"

Tang Ying said excitedly, "One person does the deed, one person takes the blame; don't frame others."

Tang Ye was filled with emotion, "Ms. Tang, you are truly noble!"

Tang Ying said in a low voice, "It's not that I'm noble, but that I don't want to implicate others."

Tang Ye sighed, "Then you should prepare yourself. Debts must be repaid, and a life must be paid for with a life."

Tang Ying was puzzled, "A life paid for with a life? What do you mean?"

Tang Ye took out a document, "As far as I know, the insurance company under your name once issued usurious loans to villagers in Yanfeng Village. At the time, a villager named Dong Chang was beaten to death and then placed under a car to fake a traffic accident. Was this also directed by you?"

Tang Ying widened her eyes, "You are wronging me. I never gave such an order."

Tang Ye corrected her, "Didn't you just swear that one person does the deed and one person takes the blame? Why are you going back on your word now?"

Tang Ying said with rapid breathing, "I admit that the company issued loans to the villagers of Yanfeng Village, but that was to assist agriculture; we were helping them get rich, and there was absolutely no murder case."

Tang Ye shrugged, "Ms. Tang, we will not interrogate you for the time being. Next, please watch the show with us to see how many people come to fish you and your husband out. These people are our targets. To be honest, both you and Zhang Xianguang are small fry; you don't carry enough weight."

Tang Ying's face turned pale, and she cursed, "You really are a sinister villain."

Tang Ye was unbothered, "I can take that as a compliment."

Tang Ying's tone rose, "You are truly thick-skinned; it is hard to believe that someone like you is a police officer."

Tang Ye laughed in spite of himself, "Tang Ying, you are a criminal suspect. Being loathed by an evildoer like you only proves that I am a very good person."

Tang Ying realized she was no match for Tang Ye in a war of words, and her heart was filled with helplessness and frustration.

Tang Ye and Zheng Shaokang walked out of the Interrogation Room.

Zheng Shaokang glanced at his phone, "A dozen missed calls."

Tang Ye said, "Is it from Geng Cong?"

Zheng Shaokang nodded slightly, "The last call was ten minutes ago. It seems he knows I won't answer his calls and will look for others to contact me."

Tang Ye sighed, "No one here is a fool. In this situation, everyone knows to protect themselves. Unless they had a close relationship with Zhang Xianguang and fear that Zhang Xianguang will expose them, they won't easily enter this trap."

Unable to reach Zheng Shaokang, Geng Cong had no choice but to helplessly seek out others, such as calling the Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

However, Wang Ming, the Vice Mayor of Xiyang City and Director of the Public Security Bureau, was a smart man. Upon hearing that the local tyrant of Wenyang, Zhang Xianguang, had been arrested in Yechuan, he immediately sensed danger and chose to respond vaguely.

On the surface, he said he would plead with Zheng Shaokang.

After the call ended, he turned his phone off directly.

Geng Cong did not wait for a call from Wang Ming,

when a call from Zhang Xianzu came in.

"Mayor Geng, when will my eldest brother and second brother be able to get out?"

Geng Cong sighed helplessly, "I'm looking for people. This Zheng Shaokang is impervious to reason and very difficult to deal with."

Zhang Xianzu said angrily, "Even a rabbit will bite when pushed to the limit! Damn it, doesn't he have a family? If it really comes to it, we will..."

Geng Cong interrupted him quickly and said angrily, "Zhang Laosan, don't be impulsive. Zheng Shaokang is a Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau; are you looking for death by threatening him?"

Zhang Xianzu continued to make threats, "Mayor Geng, we three brothers have done so much for you and Mayor Tan. Now that someone is causing us trouble, it is also aimed at you. I haven't read many books, I don't have much culture, and I'm stubborn; I only know that kindness is repaid with kindness and hatred with hatred."

Fearing that Zhang Xianzu would do something stupid, Geng Cong warned, "Don't be anxious yet. Both Mayor Tan and I will find a way; we definitely won't ignore you."

Zhang Xianzu changed his tone, "Mayor Geng, actually this isn't a big deal, why make such a fuss? As long as you can release my eldest brother and the others, you can name any condition, and we will agree to it."

Geng Cong's brow relaxed, "You have actually reminded me. Zheng Shaokang isn't answering the phone; could it be that he wants some benefits?"

Zhang Xianzu hurriedly said, "I will prepare the money immediately. Please help me pass on a message; I have prepared five million for him."

In Zhang Xianzu's view, five million was enough to satisfy Shaokang's appetite.

Geng Cong secretly thought that Zhang Xianzu was still quite straightforward, "Lao San, I actually feel quite bad about making you spend this money. This matter is indeed too big and has exceeded my range of control..."

"Mayor Geng, we have known each other for so long, I know you have your difficulties. After my brother and the others come out, they will definitely thank you properly."

Geng Cong said, "The most urgent task is to handle the matter well. As for other things, we can talk about them later."
