Chapter 199: Shao Jinbo is on the list!

Tang Ye's mobile phone rang abruptly.

The caller ID was Wan Ming.

"Chief Secretary Tang, Young Master Huang has made a request; he wants to see you."

Wan Ming's voice came through the receiver.

Tang Ye couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, "What does he want with me?"

Wan Ming chuckled on the other end of the line and teased, "He knows you're the key figure behind all this. He wants to say goodbye to you. You should at least let him die knowing the truth, right?"

Tang Ye was caught between laughter and tears, subconsciously trying to decline, "Can I not see him? I'm quite busy; I have to prepare an important speech draft."

"He is currently refusing to plead guilty; perhaps you have a way to make him talk," Wan Ming insisted.

Tang Ye sighed helplessly and replied, "Very well, I will go meet him."

He was also a bit curious.

Just what kind of person this notorious Young Master Huang really was.

Although the two had never met, they had been locked in a battle of wits in the shadows for several months.

Half an hour later, Tang Ye stepped into the City Bureau Interrogation Room.

This was his first face-to-face meeting with Young Master Huang.

However, from the burning gaze of Young Master Huang, Tang Ye clearly captured an intense hatred.

Finally, you wicked, unrepentant bastard have been taken down by yourself!

If it weren't for Young Master Huang, there wouldn't have been so many tragedies!

Young Master Huang was not very tall, looked to be about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, his figure was slightly plump, and his skin was very fair; if one didn't know his background, one would think he was a gentle and refined entrepreneur or philanthropist.

Tang Ye sat down calmly opposite Young Master Huang and said quietly, "I heard you wanted to see me, so I'm here. Speak, what do you want with me?"

Young Master Huang glanced up at Wan Ming and said, "I want to smoke a cigarette."

Wan Ming's brows furrowed slightly, and although his face was full of impatience, he still stepped forward to light a cigarette for him.

Young Master Huang took two deep drags, his tense emotions seeming to ease slightly, and he said out of the blue, "I really didn't expect that I would actually fall into your hands; it's too unexpected."

Tang Ye's expression was calm as he corrected him, "Even without me, given your actions, you would have been sanctioned by the law sooner or later. You walk by the river often enough, how can you not get your shoes wet? You should be very clear about this principle."

"Right now, the wisest thing for you to do is to confess everything you know without reservation and strive for lenient treatment."

The corners of Young Master Huang's mouth turned up, revealing a look of disdainful cold laughter, and he sneered, "It's not that I'm looking down on you, but if I really told you the secrets I hold, could you bear the consequences? In the eyes of those big shots, you are nothing but insignificant ants; crushing you to death is as easy as pie."

Tang Ye rolled his eyes, "If you really had such heaven-reaching connections, why would you be sitting here, wasting breath with a 'little ant' like me?"

Young Master Huang was so angered by these words that his eyes turned bloodshot instantly.

"I've never seen anyone as unafraid of death as you. Your name is already on the menu, so you'd better pray for your own luck!"

Tang Ye was quite dismissive, "You think you're smarter than everyone else, but in reality, you're just someone else's pawn and tool. I might as well tell you, half an hour ago, Jin Ming already took the initiative to confess to the Discipline Inspection Commission. He handed over all the dirty money and emphasized that the only reason he violated discipline was because he was seduced by you and fell into your trap."

Young Master Huang looked as if he had been struck by lightning, his whole body freezing in place.

He had been on intimate terms with many officials and had thought these relationships were unbreakable.

But now, the situation had suddenly reversed; when a wall is about to collapse, everyone gives it a push. Those who used to call him brother in the past were now all avoiding him.

What he hadn't expected even more was that Jin Ming, whom he had once considered to be under his thumb, had actually turned against him and betrayed him.

"This bastard is absolutely shameless to the extreme!"

Young Master Huang's emotions instantly spiraled out of control, a twisted and ferocious look appearing on his face.

Tang Ye continued to rub salt into his wounds, "From the very beginning, you were just a pawn that could be discarded at any time."

"Wu Yong, even if you changed your name, you cannot cover up the fact that you are an illegitimate child."

"In the eyes of certain people, you have always been a disgrace to the family."

This sentence was like a fuse, completely detonating Young Master Huang's last shred of reason.

He was furious beyond control.

He slammed a palm fiercely onto the table.

Wan Ming was quick-witted and agile, rushing over immediately to press down firmly on Young Master Huang with both hands, preventing him from making any more extreme moves.

Under Wan Ming's suppression, Young Master Huang's emotions gradually calmed down.

"I really didn't expect that chatting with you would actually break my defenses. Fine, I admit defeat. Don't worry, since they are so cold-hearted, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Hearing this, the lead interrogator, who had been keeping his nerves taut, let out a long sigh of relief.

The interrogation work, which had been making no progress, was finally resolved due to Tang Ye's appearance.

Tang Ye was not a professional interrogator, but his interrogation rhythm was worth learning.

Walking out of the interrogation room, Wan Ming took out a list and handed it to Tang Ye.

"We found a list of people who frequented Young Master Huang's private club. On this list, we saw a familiar name."

Tang Ye saw the circled name, "I didn't expect Shao Jinbo to also be a guest of Young Master Huang."

Wan Ming said, "Young Master Huang is very smart; as long as someone has a bit of a background, he will befriend and win them over, using a mahjong parlor as a front to funnel benefits. Shao Jinbo won at least fifty thousand from Young Master Huang within half a year."

Tang Ye's eyes were full of disdain.

"To ruin one's own political future for a mere fifty thousand, how short-sighted."

……

Wan Ming returned to the County Public Security Bureau from the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

He happened to run into Guo Chuan head-on.

"A bit surprised, right? That I came back so soon!"

Guo Chuan said with a fake smile, "Congratulations, I knew you could withstand the test!"

Before walking far, Guo Chuan heard Wan Ming let out a cold laugh behind him.

Guo Chuan felt incredibly depressed inside.

Who could have imagined that Wan Ming would be suspended!

Was it actually a play put on to make Young Master Huang let down his guard?

His own behavior was exactly like a villain in a movie!

Wan Ming had just sat down.

The office door was knocked, and Qiao Liang pushed the door open and walked in.

Wan Ming hurriedly stood up, poured a cup of tea for Qiao Liang, and said respectfully, "Director Qiao, I was just planning to report to you. There has been progress in the arson case on Chengguan Street."

A kind smile hung on Qiao Liang's face as he said, "I heard. This time you received orders from the City Bureau to handle a case across districts, and your performance was quite outstanding; you have brought honor to our County Bureau."

Wan Ming was filled with emotion and said with a hint of apology, "Director Qiao, I have caused you a lot of trouble."

Qiao Liang walked forward, gently patted Wan Ming on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "You withstood a great deal of outside criticism. After this incident, everyone has a brand-new understanding of you. As for the individual comrades who raised doubts about you, do not take it to heart. As public security officers, we only seek to act with a clear conscience."

Wan Ming knew clearly in his heart that while Director Qiao Liang usually seemed to like reconciling and compromising on many matters, on matters of principle, he always held firm to the sense of responsibility of a public security officer deep down.

After Qiao Liang left, several of Wan Ming's trusted subordinates walked into the office together.

"Director Wan, welcome back to the team!"

"Guo Chuan was spreading rumors everywhere, saying that you definitely wouldn't be able to come back this time. Now he has been slapped in the face hard."

Wan Ming waved his hand and said with a smile, "I don't need to lower myself to his level."

At this moment, another person said excitedly, "Director Wan, there is news saying that you are going to be transferred to work at the City Bureau!"

"Director Wan, once the transfer is successful, you must take us with you!" the others echoed one after another.

Wan Ming laughed heartily and replied, "I will never treat you all unfairly!"
