Chapter 198: The East Wind Has Come at Just the Right Time!

Xiao Jingyu finished his conversation with Jiang Jing and returned to his office with a grave expression.

Jin Ming was familiar with Xiao Jingyu and had a premonition that something major was about to happen.

"Secretary Jin, you are quite close with Young Master Huang, aren't you?" Xiao Jingyu asked suddenly, his voice low.

"Uh, actually, not that close. Mayor, what happened?"

Jin Ming's heart skipped a beat, but he forced himself to appear calm.

He couldn't say it, even if it killed him!

He often played mahjong and made extra money at Young Master Huang's private villa.

Xiao Jingyu slowly stood up from the sofa, his expression growing increasingly cold, "I've heard recently that Young Master Huang has no relatives in the province at all; his so-called background is entirely fabricated."

Jin Ming was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously explained, "Mayor Xiao, I've been to Young Master Huang's office. There are photos of him with leaders hanging on the wall, and more than one, too."

Xiao Jingyu shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "People can be faked, let alone a few photos."

Jin Ming still wouldn't give up and continued, "I've even attended dinner parties with him and the leaders' secretaries."

Xiao Jingyu paused, looked at Jin Ming with a sharp gaze, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "And you still dare to say you aren't close to him?"

Jin Ming realized he had let something slip and hurriedly explained, "It was all just for show. Didn't you instruct me before to keep in touch with him?"

Xiao Jingyu was slightly taken aback.

Jin Ming must have been panicked to the point of losing his mind; he was actually speaking without restraint.

"This man is daring enough to defy the heavens!

Last night, he actually directed thugs to drug Jiang Jing's daughter, intending to inject her with narcotics and take compromising photos, hoping to use that to blackmail Jiang Jing." The more Xiao Jingyu spoke, the angrier he became, his voice rising involuntarily.

Jin Ming's expression froze instantly.

He knew Young Master Huang planned to deal with Jiang Jing, but he never expected the methods to be so extreme.

"Could there be a mistake? Young Master Huang has always been enthusiastic about public welfare and is a responsible entrepreneur."

At this moment, Jin Ming could only bite the bullet and defend Young Master Huang against his own conscience.

Xiao Jingyu looked at Jin Ming deeply, his gaze complex, "Take care of yourself!"

Jin Ming hadn't expected Xiao Jingyu's words to be so decisive, and his heart went cold in an instant.

He walked out of the office silently.

Not long after he sat down, the Municipal Government Secretary-General Zhao Donglai walked directly into the Mayor's office without asking for permission.

Jin Ming suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Intuition told him that he was no longer trusted by the Mayor.

"Comrade Donglai, there is a matter for you to handle. Jin Ming previously applied to gain experience in the counties and districts; I think it can be arranged now."

Xiao Jingyu's tone was flat but left no room for doubt.

Zhao Donglai was slightly stunned; hadn't this matter been suppressed by Xiao Jingyu before?

But he didn't ask further and replied, "Very well. Then, regarding the choice of secretary..."

"Let Li Miao, the Deputy Section Chief of Secretariat Section One, take over his work." Xiao Jingyu had already made the arrangements.

Zhao Donglai nodded quickly, "I will arrange it immediately."

Xiao Jingyu added, "From now on, let Jin Ming take a vacation."

Zhao Donglai keenly sensed that things were not simple; on the surface, it was satisfying Jin Ming's request for a transfer, but in reality, it looked more like a decisive drawing of a line.

He pondered to himself, how did the Mayor's former favorite suddenly fall out of favor?

The deep meaning hidden within this was truly thought-provoking.

Tianling County Public Security Bureau.

Tang Ye and Wan Ming sat side by side, waiting quietly for news.

The "rumors" about Young Master Huang's forged backing had already scattered like dandelion seeds.

At this moment, they were waiting for this "seed" to take root and sprout in the soil of public opinion, gradually fermenting.

A signal caught the attention of Tang Ye and Wan Ming.

Jin Ming, the Chief Secretary of the Municipal Government, had been suddenly transferred to a county to serve in a deputy position.

On the surface, this was a promotion from Section Chief level to Deputy Division Level.

Yet Tang Ye keenly sensed an unusual scent.

"This is too surprising! Jin Ming and Young Master Huang are very close. The City Bureau established an investigation team to secretly collect evidence of Young Master Huang's underworld activities and illegal acts, yet Jin Ming gets promoted at this exact time."

Wan Ming found it inconceivable that Jin Ming could still get promoted!

Tang Ye frowned and analyzed, "It looks like a rise in rank, but in reality, he has been transferred away from the core of power. In my view, even if Mayor Xiao no longer trusts Jin Ming, he must find a way to appease him. After all, as the Chief Secretary by the Mayor's side, Jin Ming knows too many of the leader's secrets; he absolutely cannot be allowed to harbor resentment and turn his spear against him."

As they were speaking, Wan Ming's phone rang abruptly.

He answered the call quickly, and in an instant, a flash of light crossed his eyes.

"The provincial leader caught in the vortex of rumors was furious upon learning of this and demanded that Hanzhou must investigate to the end!

The City Bureau has notified us: the evidence collected is sufficiently thorough, the arrest warrant has been approved, and we can arrest Young Master Huang!"

Joy flashed in both of their eyes.

This east wind had come at just the right time!

The identity that Young Master Huang had originally been so proud of.

Because of the fermentation of public opinion, it had become a death warrant!

Tang Ye let out a long breath and said decisively, "There is no time to lose, you must set off immediately!"

For this operation, Wan Ming was appointed as the Deputy Group Leader of the Investigation Team, though in reality, he was the main force of the entire operation.

Just thinking about being about to arrest this super villain who had been rampant in Hanzhou for many years and dominated the region!

An irrepressible surge of excitement welled up within Wan Ming.

……

"Uncle, the Police in Hanzhou have started investigating me!"

On this end of the phone, Young Master Huang's voice was filled with anxiety and panic.

"Don't call me Uncle; my younger brother passed away ten years ago. Your surname is Wu, and you have absolutely nothing to do with me." On the other end of the line, the voice was cold and resolute.

"Uncle, although my surname is not Huang, my father was truly your own brother." Young Master Huang would not give up, still trying to salvage the situation, his words carrying a hint of pleading.

"I have treated you well enough. I never imagined that you would use my name to act recklessly and wantonly in Hanzhou."

"As long as you are willing to save me, I can give you all the money I have earned over these years."

Young Master Huang threw out his final bargaining chip in near despair, hoping to move his uncle.

"Do you think I would want your ill-gotten gains?

You actually dared to lay a hand on Jiang Jing.

Before you made your move, why didn't you go and properly investigate the background of Jiang Jing's ex-wife!"

Immediately, a "beep-beep-beep" busy signal came from the phone.

The phone in Young Master Huang's hand slid away.

His whole person felt as if his spine had been pulled out.

He slumped dejectedly into the sofa.

The arrogant, haughty aura he once possessed had vanished without a trace.

……

Wan Ming arrived at the villa area.

Police officers rushed in like a tidal wave.

"Don't move! Hands on your head, get down!"

"Whoever dares to move will be shot!"

Although there were many lackeys inside the villa, they dared not resist when faced with the well-prepared Police!

Inside the office, Wan Ming saw Young Master Huang.

Unexpectedly, Young Master Huang appeared unusually calm.

"You are Wan Ming?" Young Master Huang's tone was flat.

"That's right. Didn't expect it, did you? In the end, you still fell into my hands." Wan Ming replied with his head held high, a hint of triumph in his eyes.

Young Master Huang glanced at Wan Ming with disdain and let out a cold snort: "Just you? Besides, it is too early to talk about winning or losing now."

Wan Ming could not stand Young Master Huang's arrogance; he waved his hand and decisively ordered: "Cuff him for me!"

A mocking sneer appeared at the corner of Young Master Huang's mouth; facing the rushing Police, he neither resisted nor struggled.

He let them press his face hard against the desktop.

"Wan Ming, you will regret what you did today. Your official career ends here!"

"Is that so? Record every word he says in detail.

Report it truthfully to the higher-ups; I want to see exactly who gave you such courage to speak so wildly!"
