Chapter 178: Always Watching Over You Silently!

Cai Weilin was in a good mood; through the introduction of Du Xiaofeng, he had successfully made the acquaintance of Du Chengfeng, the County Party Secretary of Tianling County.

Du Chengfeng had a very good reputation and a strong grassroots foundation, and was deeply supported by the masses.

Under his meticulous governance, the economic development of Tianling County achieved an unprecedented leap last year.

In particular, a provincial-level Resort Project was about to be established in Tianling County; once this project, worth as much as three billion, landed, it would inevitably drive local development in every aspect.

Cai Weilin had been calculating how he could catch this "free ride" of Tianling County's development.

Previously, he had spent a great deal of effort meeting with Du Chengfeng several times, but the relationship had been difficult to advance in any substantive way.

Right now, a renovation project for old houses in the Tianling County seat was about to begin bidding.

Cai Weilin was determined to gain an advantage in the bidding, so he sought out Du Xiaofeng.

Now, he had finally gotten his wish and walked into Du Chengfeng's study.

Just at this moment, the Secretary's phone suddenly rang.

The Secretary frowned, exchanged a few words with the person on the other end, and after hanging up, hurriedly reported in a low voice to Cai Weilin: "President Cai, I just received news that Director Wang of the Liuhe Street Office has been taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation."

Upon hearing this, Cai Weilin's brows instantly knitted into a knot, and he said: "I was playing cards with Director Wang this afternoon; how could he get into trouble this afternoon?"

The Secretary looked grave and said in a low voice: "It is said that Executive Vice Mayor Jiang Jing was extremely dissatisfied and flew into a rage while inspecting our project."

Cai Weilin was full of confusion and asked: "Wasn't the project on Liuhe Street almost finished?"

The Secretary explained with a bitter smile: "There was still a loose end at that project that hadn't been cleaned up."

Cai Weilin snorted in anger and raged: "This bunch of people can't even handle such a small matter! Hurry, take me to the scene!"

Cai Weilin rushed to Building 3 of the residential complex, only to see a group of people already sitting in Old Man Pang's home.

Old Man Pang's son, Pang Dong, stared at these uninvited guests with a complex expression, a hidden chill showing in his eyes.

"President Cai, this family is particularly stubborn and refuses to sign the settlement agreement no matter what." The female subordinate in charge of the negotiations stepped forward and reported to Cai Weilin in a low voice.

Cai Weilin glared at her crossly, then walked over to sit opposite Pang Dong, a kindly smile plastered on his face.

"Mr. Pang, I express my deepest apologies for the many troubles caused to your family previously. We have shown our utmost sincerity and truly hope to gain your understanding. As long as you sign, I guarantee to arrange a new house for your family, and we will also cover the renovation costs."

It would be a lie to say Pang Dong wasn't tempted, but whenever he thought of the humiliation his parents and he had suffered, and his daughter developing severe depression because of it, it felt like a heavy stone was blocking his heart, and he couldn't make up his mind to pick up the pen and sign.

"I'll say it again: you should leave quickly; we have nothing to talk about." Pang Dong replied coldly.

A helpless, bitter smile appeared at the corner of Cai Weilin's mouth as he began to persuade him!

"Mr. Pang, don't be naive enough to think that just because Mayor Jiang paid your home a visit, you have a powerful backer.

There is a good saying: 'The heavens are high and the Emperor is far away.' Mayor Jiang has to worry about the affairs of millions of people; how could she possibly put all her energy into one single household like yours?

I advise you to quit while you're ahead and turn a big problem into a small one, and a small one into nothing."

Pang Dong knew clearly that what Cai Weilin said made sense, but he held a firm obsession in his heart.

"I know you came here this time to save Wang Guohai. Wang Guohai has done every evil thing imaginable. A perfectly good residential complex has been turned into a mess by you people. If I sign this today, I'll be pointed at by people's spines whenever I go out in the future. You'd better give up on that idea!"

Cai Weilin's expression instantly shifted from gentle to serious.

He had not expected Pang Dong to be so stubborn and impervious to reason.

"Since you are so uncooperative, don't blame us for taking special measures." A trace of ferocity flashed in Cai Weilin's eyes, and then he said in an icy tone, "How about this: I'll pay to send your whole family away for a 'vacation' for a few months."

Pang Dong was shocked and asked with a face full of vigilance: "What do you want to do?"

Cai Weilin gave his subordinate a look.

The subordinate understood, kicked the room door open with a bang, grabbed Pang Dong's daughter, and walked out.

Pang Dong's daughter already suffered from depression; at this moment, like a frightened little deer, she lost control of her emotions and burst into loud sobs.

Pang Dong's wife rushed over to try and take her daughter back, but was pushed hard by the subordinate, her back slamming heavily against the door.

Cai Weilin wore a cold sneer and mocked: "You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit; you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."

Watching his daughter break down and wave her little hands, crying out "Daddy, save me" over and over.

Pang Dong only felt a fire burning fiercely in his chest and roared angrily: "Let go of my daughter!"

He rushed over regardless of everything, but was kicked to the ground by the subordinate.

Cai Weilin walked up, gently patted Pang Dong's face with his hand, and said in a low voice: "Pang, do you know how serious things are now?"

After speaking, he turned his head and instructed the female subordinate: "Sign."

The female subordinate threw the settlement agreement on the ground.

A subordinate grabbed Pang Dong's wrist, forcibly pressed his hand into the red ink paste, and then slammed it hard onto the settlement agreement.

Cai Weilin picked up the settlement agreement and said triumphantly: "Wouldn't it have been better to cooperate obediently earlier? Why make things so ugly?"

He handed the settlement agreement to the female subordinate and instructed: "Take this settlement agreement to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection tomorrow."

Cai Weilin was just about to lift his foot to leave.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the stairwell.

Before he could react, a group of Police in uniform rushed up.

Wan Ming had arranged for his subordinates to secretly guard Pang Dong's family.

Seeing the other side break in aggressively, the subordinate realized the situation was critical and hurriedly requested reinforcements from Wan Ming.

Tang Ye walked quickly into the room.

The scene before him was heartbreaking.

The little girl was sitting on the ground, crying her heart out;

Pang Dong was lying on the ground with blood at the corner of his mouth;

Old Man Pang and the old lady had hollow eyes and faces full of despair...

Tang Ye's heart was full of regret, secretly blaming himself for arriving a step too late!

Wan Ming's anger rushed to his head; unable to suppress the fury in his heart any longer, he walked straight up and slapped Cai Weilin hard!

This slap was both fast and fierce!

Cai Weilin's head was knocked to the side, and he was completely stunned.

He looked at the group of people who had suddenly burst in with a face full of astonishment.

Finally, his gaze landed on Tang Ye.

He had just met Tang Ye at Du Chengfeng's home.

Previously, Du Xiaofeng had complained to him, saying that Tang Ye was an ambitious person solely focused on clinging to his brother.

Influenced by this, Cai Weilin did not have any good feelings toward Tang Ye either.

At this moment, he asked with a blank expression: "Tang... what exactly is going on here?"

Tang Ye also had not expected to run into Cai Weilin here.

"Cai Weilin, you condone your subordinates breaking into private residences, threatening and harming ordinary citizens. You have quite a lot of nerve!"

Wan Ming strode forward and put handcuffs on him directly.

"You are under arrest!"

Old Man Pang and the auntie recognized Tang Ye at this moment.

In an instant, their hearts were filled with gratitude.

They had originally thought Mayor Jiang's previous visit was just a formality.

In reality, there was a force in the shadows that had been silently protecting them all along... "Requesting votes! Requesting votes!!"
