Chapter 159: Involved with a Municipal Bureau Cadre?

Tang Ye felt that the lead provided by Mo Xiaoyu was extremely critical.

He furrowed his brows slightly and pressed, "Do you know the specific location of that house?"

Mo Xiaoyu shook her head.

"I'm not sure, but I know that house is registered under his younger sister's name. He is a very cunning person; afraid of being watched, he used his sister's information and even gave her fifty thousand yuan."

Tang Ye's expression eased somewhat.

He gave a look to the policewoman.

The policewoman quickly confirmed, "With this information, we can find the location."

Tang Ye paused for a moment, then asked again, "Additionally, regarding that Shang Deyi, do you know what illegal or undisciplined things he has done?"

Mo Xiaoyu bit her lower lip, a flash of hatred appearing in her eyes.

"Shang Deyi once took me to meet Bureau Chief Luo of the Municipal Education Bureau. Looking at Shang Deyi's respectful attitude, this Bureau Chief Luo must be his benefactor."

That Bureau Chief surnamed Luo had originally made many improper demands, which made Mo Xiaoyu feel disgusted!

A look of gravity instantly flashed across Tang Ye's eyes.

He had not expected the case to involve a Department-Level Cadre.

Digging deeper along this line would very likely trigger another major upheaval in the Hanzhou officialdom.

Having just stirred up the County Land and Resources Bureau, now the fire was about to spread to the education system.

In officialdom, making too many enemies was by no means a good thing for oneself.

Mo Xiaoyu watched as Tang Ye fell into silence, not saying a word.

She instantly understood that he might be worried that the matter would become too big.

A helpless, bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said softly, "Town Mayor Tang, I admire you. If I had met you when I first entered the school and encountered that misfortune, you definitely would have reached out to help, and I wouldn't have ended up sinking into depravity."

"It's just that this matter has far-reaching implications and will affect your official career. I advise you to stop while you're ahead. Chu Dongfa is a major corrupt official; being able to take him down is already a good thing for the students and teachers of Pinghu."

From Mo Xiaoyu's words, Tang Ye truly felt her concern.

She was not mocking him, but rather had an understanding of the forces behind Shang Deyi.

After all, for him, a Section Chief level township official, to challenge a Department-Level Cadre—

It was like a cultivator at the Postnatal Stage challenging a Golden Core Stage expert in a cultivation novel.

In this game of intertwined power, it was undoubtedly an extremely bold and crazy decision.

"Teacher Mo, thank you for the reminder. Since I have decided to intervene in this matter, I will never give up halfway." Tang Ye said with a firm gaze and a resolute tone.

Tang Ye walked out of the Interrogation Room.

Seeing his relaxed expression, Wan Ming knew that things were settled.

"As expected, it still required you to step in!"

"Don't flatter me. There is no time to lose; let's act tonight and catch the other party off guard."

Upon hearing that Mo Xiaoyu had confessed the clue about where Chu Dongfa hid his illicit money, Wan Ming immediately arranged for his police officers to retrieve the relevant information.

Sure enough, after verification, a commercial property located in the city was indeed registered under the name of Chu Dongfa's sister.

Chu Dongfa was under surveillance.

He was currently resting in a hotel.

Wan Ming immediately led a team to take action.

The group rushed to the hotel.

Holding an arrest warrant, they retrieved Chu Dongfa's check-in information from the front desk.

They barged straight into the room where Chu Dongfa was staying.

Having exhausted much of his energy, Chu Dongfa was fast asleep on the bed and was startled awake by the sudden commotion.

Before he could even react, he was pinned directly onto the bed by the police.

Looking at the group of police officers in uniform with cold expressions, Chu Dongfa's mind went blank, and he was completely bewildered.

He had specifically chosen such a high-end and secluded hotel.

How did he still run into a vice raid?

He couldn't be that unlucky!

In a panic, Chu Dongfa hurriedly scrambled to put on his clothes.

He calculated in his heart that for now, he would cooperate with the police's actions, and once he was taken to the Police Station, he would find a way to pull strings and find acquaintances to get himself out.

Soon, Chu Dongfa was escorted to the County Public Security Bureau.

Facing Wan Ming, who had a serious expression and eyes like torches across the interrogation table, Chu Dongfa put on a highly cooperative attitude and said with a face full of smiles, "Bureau Chief Wan, could you let me make a phone call?"

The next second, the door to the Interrogation Room was pushed open with a "creak," and Tang Ye walked in.

Tang Ye's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold, mocking smile as he said, "Principal Chu, in my opinion, you'd better not call anyone and add to their trouble."

The moment Chu Dongfa saw Tang Ye, his eyes widened like copper bells, and his face was filled with disbelief.

He was completely thrown into chaos.

Shouldn't Tang Ye be with Mo Xiaoyu?

How could he appear here?

Was Mo Xiaoyu also arrested?

That woman had poor mental fortitude and couldn't withstand interrogation.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out uncontrollably, soaking his back.

Intertwined with anger and shock—

Chu Dongfa stood up abruptly, slammed his hands hard on the table, and roared at Tang Ye, "You dog, how dare you plot against me?"

Tang Ye rolled his eyes in annoyance and retorted unceremoniously, "Who exactly plotted against whom first? Don't you find it ironic for those words to come out of your mouth?"

Chu Dongfa shouted at the top of his lungs, "I kindly invited you to dinner, and you actually repay kindness with ingratitude?"

Tang Ye could not be bothered to waste any more breath on Chu Dongfa.

What kind of kindness do you call this!

You are clearly trying to drag me down with you!

Seeing this, Wan Ming strode over, pressed Chu Dongfa down into his chair, and said sternly, "Behave! I advise you to cooperate with our interrogation and strive for leniency; don't go looking for trouble."

Chu Dongfa struggled to calm the surging emotions in his heart.

"I'm dating my girlfriend, what law have I broken? You don't believe she's my girlfriend? I can give you her ID number."

As Chu Dongfa spoke, he tried to find excuses for himself.

He was downplaying the serious and avoiding the important, trying to muddle through.

Tang Ye did not want to waste time going in circles with him at all, and said straightforwardly, "Chu Dongfa, we don't care whether you are dating or not; we just want to know how much money you have embezzled over all these years!"

"Don't frame me, I am very honest."

"Oh? There is a house under your sister's name. Mo Xiaoyu has already confessed that the house is your treasure vault. Can you take us there to have a look?"

Chu Dongfa still feigned calmness and flatly denied it, saying, "Ridiculous! Mo Xiaoyu is a lunatic. How would I have the key to my sister's house?"

Tang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly and gave Wan Ming a look.

Wan Ming understood immediately, then pulled out a set of keys and said coldly, "You were truly careless; you actually left such an important thing at the hotel when you were getting dressed. Could the key to that house be among this set?"

Chu Dongfa's heart went cold in an instant.

He made up his mind to remain silent from now on.

As long as he kept his mouth shut, someone would definitely come to bail him out!
