Chapter 245: This feeling is just too intoxicating!

~8 min read 1,543 words

Suiyuan County.

A police car slowly pulled up in front of a foot massage parlor.

Inside the shop, a man who had just finished enjoying the service saw the police car; his face instantly turned deathly pale, and out of instinct, he turned and ran.

Tang Ye stepped out from the back seat of the police car and complained to Wan Ming with a hint of helplessness: "I told you before not to drive a police car here. Now look, you've affected someone else's business."

Wan Ming watched the figure sprinting away, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Getting that panicked at the sight of a police car—there's definitely something wrong. We'll have to look into him later."

Just then, a middle-aged woman in her thirties walked out of the foot massage parlor.

She wore heavy makeup and looked at Wan Ming cautiously, asking, "Excuse me, is there something you need?"

A smile appeared on Wan Ming's face, and he said gently, "Don't be nervous. We aren't here for an inspection; we are here regarding your daughter's case from three years ago."

The woman's eyes instantly turned red, her tone became cold, and she asked guardedly, "What do you want? My daughter won't see anyone right now."

Tang Ye sensed the woman's misunderstanding and hurriedly explained: "We are here to bring you good news. The case from three years ago has now been brought to light. Huang Ping was wrongly sent to the juvenile detention center; the real culprit is actually Wang Liang. Now, Wang Liang has been arrested by the police, and his father, who is suspected of bribing the case investigators, has also been detained."

"Ah?"

The woman froze in place, her hands subconsciously covering her mouth, and tears uncontrollably welled up and spilled from her eyes.

For three years, she had long since resigned herself to fate amidst the long, agonizing torment.

Her daughter had been assaulted, and her own profession working at a foot massage parlor had become a weapon for others to attack their mother and daughter.

She was filled with guilt, always feeling that she had dragged her daughter down.

Now that her daughter was paralyzed in bed, she not only had to take care of her daughter's daily life but also had to constantly pay attention to her daughter's fragile mental state.

She silently swallowed all the bitterness and gritted her teeth to keep going!

Because she knew deep down that if she were to collapse, her daughter would truly be finished.

And at this moment, the news arrived that Wang Liang had been caught.

A glimmer of dawn finally appeared in the long, dark night.

Her persistence had finally paid off.

"We would like to see your daughter," Tang Ye said softly.

"Alright, I'll take you to her." Cao Lili's mother quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "If Lili knows this news, she will definitely be very happy."

The group arrived at Cao Lili's home.

The mother walked into the bedroom and whispered to Cao Lili about the situation regarding Wang Liang's arrest.

Cao Lili's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

Afterwards, Cao Lili said with difficulty, "I am willing to see them."

Seeing her daughter willing to make a change, the mother hugged her, weeping.

Cao Lili sat in a wheelchair; she was not old, but because she rarely went out, she looked listless and very unhealthy.

Tang Ye comforted her softly: "Lili, I have communicated your physical condition in detail with the Experts at the Municipal People's Hospital, and after their assessment, they believe you meet the criteria for surgery. As long as the surgery goes smoothly and you cooperate with rehabilitation therapy afterward, there is a great hope that you will be able to stand up again. As for the expenses, you don't need to worry at all; Bureau Chief Wan will arrange for a professional Lawyer to help you apply for the compensation you deserve."

Hope was rekindled in Cao Lili's previously dim, lusterless eyes.

She moved her lips with difficulty and stiffly uttered two words: "Thank you."

Hearing her daughter speak, Cao Lili's mother felt tears well up and spill over once again.

Tang Ye looked at Cao Lili's mother and said sincerely: "If there is anything you need the Government to help resolve in the future, just ask. I will definitely do my best to help you secure it."

The mother wiped her tears while choking back sobs: "For these past few years, our family has been living in pain. It's all my fault; because of my profession, Lili suffered so many grievances... We don't have any other requests, we just hope to see the bad guys brought to justice."

Wen Rong followed behind Tang Ye, watching him interact kindly and gently with this mother and daughter, and her view of Tang Ye underwent a major shift.

Section Chief Tang was indeed capable of something extraordinary to have gained the appreciation of his superiors in such a short time.

In front of her, Tang Ye usually appeared cold and stern, yet when facing ordinary citizens, he was full of approachability.

The group emerged from the Cao residence.

The onlookers spontaneously began to applaud, and cheers rang out in unison.

This caught Tang Ye completely by surprise. He humbly cupped his hands to thank these enthusiastic people.

Wen Rong truly felt the goodwill flowing from the eyes of the masses, and she sighed inwardly.

This was the realm that an official should strive for!

—To win the sincere respect and support of the people.

A surge of heat rushed from the soles of her feet straight to the back of her head!

This feeling was just too intoxicating!

"Wen Rong, after we go back, write a follow-up report and submit it to Mayor Jiang. Add a section to the report about Jiang Rou's brave resistance against Wang Liang's school bullying. Handle this part cleverly; don't make it too deliberate, it needs to be naturally integrated into the entire report."

Only now did Wen Rong understand why Tang Ye had brought her along for this follow-up visit to Cao Lili.

This follow-up report was of great significance; it wasn't to deliberately claim credit for Jiang Rou, but to let Mayor Jiang see her daughter's growth and bravery.

Thinking of this, Wen Rong couldn't help but marvel that Section Chief Tang's mind was truly meticulous!

Returning to the Municipal Government.

After Wen Rong finished writing the follow-up report, Tang Ye read it through, confirmed there were no issues, and submitted it to Jiang Jing.

Jiang Jing read it very carefully and inadvertently mentioned the public security situation in Suiyuan County.

Tang Ye pondered to himself, could it be that Mayor Jiang was dissatisfied with the public security system in Suiyuan County?

After work, Tang Ye followed the address given to him by Guo Zhengting and arrived at a restaurant with a quiet and elegant environment.

After entering the room, Guo Zhengting shook hands with Tang Ye enthusiastically, "Section Chief Tang, long time no see! President An is on the way and should be here soon."

Tang Ye exchanged a few pleasantries with Guo Zhengting.

At this moment, the door to the private room was gently pushed open.

An Guohao and An Xin walked in side by side.

Today, An Xin was not wearing that well-tailored Secretary uniform; she wore a white, tight-fitting base layer on her upper body, which had both a casual comfort and a sense of feminine silhouette.

Below was a skirt, and as she moved, the hem swayed gently, revealing an unintentional charm and composure.

The pair of sparkling stud earrings on her ears glimmered, hidden within her hair.

She was also carrying an exquisite small pink bag in her hand, and her whole person was like a beautiful painting, pleasing to the eye.

Following beside An Xin was a young man.

The man was very tall, even two or three centimeters taller than Tang Ye, and he looked dashing and debonair.

At a glance, they looked like a good match, but if you looked closely at his ankles, you could discover he was a shoe-lift dog!

"General Manager An, long time no see! You should recognize this person; he is the former County Party Secretary of Tianling County, now the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, and the son-in-law of Du Chengfeng, Tang Ye."

Guo Zhengting enthusiastically introduced Tang Ye to An Guohao.

An Guohao was stunned for a moment upon hearing the long string of prefixes.

An Xin's expression did not change, but deep down, a faint sense of disappointment arose.

"Section Chief Tang is an old friend of my daughter. This is Xian Xingyun, the Vice President of our group."

"Vice President Xian, I've long admired your name!" Guo Zhengting shook hands with Xian Xingyun.

Xian Xingyun was the son of An Guohao's business partner, two years older than An Xin, and also a returnee from overseas.

Xian Xingyun's gaze landed on Tang Ye, secretly wondering if the young man before him was the same young man An Guohao often mentioned.

Originally, he had harbored hostility toward Tang Ye.

Now, hearing that he was married, the hostility vanished instantly!
