Chapter 1339: Really quite a capable operator!

Gong Weimin received a call from Wen Zhengming.

"Secretary Wen, hello."

Wen Zhengming's tone was somewhat serious, "Comrade Weimin, I have just received news that the Mayor of Wenyang City has fled to avoid punishment. Is this the case?"

Gong Weimin tried hard to respond calmly, "Yes, Secretary Wen, this matter happened very suddenly. However, please rest assured, we have already initiated action immediately."

Wen Zhengming paused for a few seconds and said slowly, "Come to the province tomorrow; let's talk about this matter in person."

Gong Weimin's heart skipped a beat, "Very well, Secretary Wen. I will come to Qiongjin early tomorrow morning to report the situation to you in detail in person."

After hanging up on Wen Zhengming, Gong Weimin began to analyze the meaning behind this call.

Asking him to go to the province—could it be that Secretary Wen felt his remaining in Xiyang City would be detrimental to the investigation team's work?

A wave of grief and indignation suddenly welled up in Gong Weimin's heart.

He had worked in Xiyang City for so many years, always diligent and conscientious, without any selfish motives.

In fact, from the moment Jiang Jing was arranged to be sent to Xiyang, he had already prepared himself mentally—Jiang Jing was there to replace him.

On the surface, Gong Weimin expressed a warm welcome to Jiang Jing's arrival, but deep down, he had always remained vigilant toward Jiang Jing.

Sure enough, Jiang Jing had swung a blade, just as he had expected!

……

The next morning.

Gong Weimin arrived by car at Building No. 1 of the Provincial Party Committee Compound.

Gong Weimin followed the Secretary's Secretary into the office.

Wen Zhengming stretched out a finger and pointed to the sofa on the right, "Please sit!"

Gong Weimin sat in the seat and said softly, "Thank you, Secretary."

Wen Zhengming said softly, "The problem in Wenyang is very serious. It is already 2010, yet there are still people who dare to point guns at our public security officers; this has brought an extremely vile influence upon society."

Gong Weimin said with shame, "Secretary Wen, I was also extremely shocked to hear about this. However, through our emergency arrangements and deployments, no casualties were caused."

Wen Zhengming cast a glance at the Secretary.

The Secretary handed a set of meeting minutes to Gong Weimin.

Wen Zhengming said, "After the incident occurred, the Provincial Party Committee immediately arranged for a work group to enter Xiyang to investigate. The comrades in Xiyang were still very proactive; they grasped clues in advance and actively initiated the investigation. Therefore, the process of the Provincial Party Committee investigation team collecting evidence went very smoothly. Subsequently, the Provincial Party Committee held a meeting overnight; these are the meeting minutes."

Gong Weimin flipped through the meeting minutes.

The final content was related to him……

A flash of anger appeared in Gong Weimin's eyes, which eventually faded into indifference.

He knew that reaching this step was already an inevitable result.

Even without the Zhang Family Three Brothers, if there were other factors, he would likely have faced this same ending.

Political maneuvering is just this cruel and realistic.

Some people need to advance, and if someone blocks their path forward, then that position must be vacated.

"Secretary Wen, I submit to the organization's arrangement. I am willing to take responsibility for this matter."

Wen Zhengming had originally worried that Gong Weimin would have strong resistance.

He did not expect Gong Weimin to accept this fact so naturally and calmly.

"Thank you for your understanding. By the way, how do you think Comrade Jiang Jing's work performance in Xiyang has been?"

Gong Weimin nodded and said, "After Comrade Jiang Jing arrived in Xiyang, he made obvious contributions to the local economic development. But the only shortcoming is that he has not been in Xiyang long enough and is not familiar enough with the local public sentiment."

Wen Zhengming nodded slightly, "Since that is the case, do you have any suitable candidates to suggest for arranging a reliable assistant for Jiang Jing?"

Gong Weimin analyzed for a moment, "I think Comrade Gao Qidong is very suitable. This comrade has ambition and ability. He coordinates well with Jiang Jing."

Wen Zhengming nodded, "The province will seriously study your proposal. In addition, there is no need for you to rush back to Xiyang for the time being. I am giving you a temporary task—a business organization is coming to Huai Province for an inspection; you are responsible for receiving this business delegation well and must ensure all service work is done properly."

Gong Weimin said, "Very well. I will certainly complete this task you have entrusted to me with dedication!"

……

That afternoon, Jiang Jing received a notice from the Provincial Party Committee Office, asking him to temporarily preside over the comprehensive work of the Xiyang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

Upon receiving this notice,

his entire gait became relaxed and vigorous.

He immediately convened a temporary meeting.

At the meeting, he said to the Standing Committee Members, "I have just received notice from the Provincial Party Committee that I am to temporarily preside over the comprehensive work of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

During the time Secretary Gong is away, everyone must perform their own duties and must not neglect their responsibilities. In particular, the Provincial Investigation Team is still conducting work guidance in our city; I hope everyone will be more diligent and do their own jobs well."

The meeting concluded.

The entire Municipal Committee Compound was buzzing with discussion.

"Do you think Secretary Gong won't be able to come back this time?"

"It's hard to say; the Wenyang incident this time caused too much of a stir. I estimate it will be very difficult for Secretary Gong to get out of this unscathed."

"Isn't that so? Having caused such a big mess, the province will definitely deal with it severely!"

"I didn't expect Mayor Jiang to really have such skill; he's presiding over the comprehensive work so quickly!"

……

Tang Ye met Han Hu in the office.

This arrest operation was carried out by the Yechuan County Public Security in coordination with the City Bureau, conducting a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the Zhang Family Three Brothers' forces.

"We arrested thirty-seven core figures together. These people are famous underworld members in Wenyang who usually run rampant and commit all kinds of evil. Some run casinos, some run illegal mines, and some organize prostitution. However, it is a bit of a pity that we did not catch Tan Zonghe."

Tang Ye said, "A wily rabbit has three burrows. Tan Zonghe has a keen sense of smell and knew he would run into trouble, so he made preparations to flee in advance."

Han Hu nodded, "According to clues provided by Tan Zonghe's driver, we searched his home and found a large amount of gold, jewelry, and cash, as well as expensive tobacco and alcohol. We have already handed the evidence over to the Provincial Party Committee investigation team."

Tang Ye nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. You handled this case beautifully."

Han Hu said admiringly, "It is still County Magistrate Tang who commands well."

Han Hu knew clearly in his heart that this game of chess was being laid out by Tang Ye from the shadows.

Including himself, everyone was a chess piece...

Tan Zonghe was one rank higher than Tang Ye, but in this contest against Tang Ye, he had fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Tang Ye was a Department-level Official, yet he was able to use his own methods to maneuver against a Deputy Department Level Official and force him into a desperate situation!

This ability to lay out a strategy was truly too powerful!

Han Hu felt shocked and full of admiration for Tang Ye's methods.

At the same time, he also felt very fortunate.

Through this contact, Tang Ye had gained a deep understanding of him.

Han Hu had just been promoted from the position of Deputy Director to Director, and his status was not yet stable.

Generally speaking, the Director of the Public Security Bureau is concurrently held by a Deputy County Magistrate or the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

Therefore, Han Hu had always wanted to strive to advance further.

Now, Tang Ye had provided Han Hu with an opportunity to demonstrate his abilities.

Tang Ye was still very satisfied with Han Hu's performance.

This person Han Hu was a bit like Wan Ming, belonging to the type who appeared rough on the outside but was meticulous on the inside.

More importantly, he had a sense of justice in his heart and was worth cultivating.

After Han Hu left, Tang Ye was lost in thought.

Not catching Tan Zonghe was a bit of a pity, but from another perspective, it was actually not a bad thing.

As the primary culprit, as long as Tan Zonghe was not caught for a single day, the case could not be definitively characterized.

A massive force was hidden behind Tan Zonghe!

They wanted Tan Zonghe to be caught more than anyone else, so they could push all the blame onto him.

Only after the case was characterized could this group of people sleep soundly!
