Chapter 250: Is Tang Ye's Backer About to Fall?

"The case related to Qimei Group is too egregious in nature. Secretary Zhou was furious after reviewing the relevant situation.

However, if we continue to dig deep into this case, the Hanzhou political scene might be turned upside down."

This case was the first matter Du Chengfeng was tasked to supervise by Zhou Chengwu after taking office, and it was also a test.

Many cases seem straightforward at first glance, but how one handles them and what the outcome is requires technique.

Qimei Group was once the largest daily necessities manufacturing enterprise in Suiyuan County, and its market share for toothbrushes and toothpaste ranked in the top three nationwide.

But, after being acquired by the multinational corporation Gaolu Group three years ago, it went downhill.

Judging from the whistleblower materials, there are signs of illegal and disciplinary violations.

"The province sent Secretary Zhou to Hanzhou to clean up the city's atmosphere, not to stir up a 'political storm.' If this case is investigated too deeply, it might trigger a chain reaction and turn the entire Hanzhou political scene upside down," Tang Ye analyzed in a low voice.

Du Chengfeng nodded slightly and acknowledged, "The key is that this case cannot go uninvestigated. Reporters from other provinces have conducted undercover investigations, and the materials were intercepted by the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department; this must be taken seriously."

Tang Ye also sighed and remarked, "With Secretary Zhou's personality, how could he tolerate any sand in his eyes? He certainly won't sit idly by regarding this matter."

Du Chengfeng looked at Tang Ye and suddenly asked, "Is this comrade Wan Ming reliable?"

Tang Ye pondered for a moment before answering, "I haven't known him for long, but from our dealings, I find him decisive and bold in his work, full of a sense of justice, and possessing a sense of reverence for his profession."

"Comrade Wan Ming can play a major role in this case. You should cultivate your relationship with him well."

Tang Ye understood Du Chengfeng's meaning immediately.

In Du Chengfeng's eyes, Wan Ming is a capable ally worth cultivating for Tang Ye.

In the officialdom, if you want to go far, political achievements are certainly important, but connections within the public security, procuratorate, and judiciary systems are even more necessary resources to help pave your way.

Du Chengfeng was clearly "giving extra lessons and special guidance" to Tang Ye.

"Thank you for the reminder," Tang Ye replied, feeling a warmth in his heart.

Emerging from the study, Tang Ye felt as if he were standing at the very center of a storm.

This sense of impact was something he had never experienced before.

Previously, he didn't even have the qualifications to be a pawn on this chessboard.

But now, he and Wan Ming have become key pawns, swept into this complex and intense struggle.

However, as the saying goes—

The rougher the waves, the more valuable the fish!

The next morning.

Tang Ye took a car driven by a chauffeur and arrived at Jiang Jing's residence.

Aunt Chen came to open the door; she turned slightly to the side and whispered a reminder: "Ms. Liu is here."

Jiang Jing and Liu Xiuzhi were arguing intensely.

"Why did you agree to let Jiang Rou take the college entrance exam in the country? I have already arranged everything for her abroad!" Liu Xiuzhi's voice carried obvious urgency and dissatisfaction.

"This is our daughter's own decision. How can you be so selfish? You must let her make her own choices in life," Jiang Jing did not back down.

"The path I planned for her is the most reasonable one. If she wants to get into a good university in the country, she has to start preparing from middle school, and we have to find special channels for her, like participating in various competitions, winter camps, summer camps, and so on, but now it's too late," Liu Xiuzhi spoke extremely fast, trying to persuade Jiang Jing.

"Don't be so anxious, can you? She has already grown up and has her own ideas," Jiang Jing patiently tried to persuade her, hoping to calm Liu Xiuzhi down.

"Hmph, you are just indulging her. I will absolutely not agree to this," Liu Xiuzhi's voice grew increasingly sharp.

Accompanied by a "bang," the door was slammed shut, and a tall woman wearing a white shirt and loose trousers walked out with a face full of anger.

"You must be Tang Ye?"

"Yes, Director Liu, hello," Tang Ye responded politely.

Liu Lingzhi suppressed her anger and tried to speak as softly as possible: "I am very grateful that you saved Jiang Rou before. But please do not interfere with Jiang Rou's judgment. I have already planned her life for her."

Tang Ye remained calm and said earnestly, "Jiang Rou has changed a lot during this time. I hope you can see that she is constantly improving and respect her own decisions."

Just then, Jiang Jing walked out from the room.

He looked gloomy and walked toward the door without saying a word.

Tang Ye hurriedly followed Jiang Jing's footsteps.

"Mayor Jiang, is there any discomfort in your body?" Tang Ye keenly noticed that Jiang Jing's complexion was poor and asked with concern.

"I'm fine!" Jiang Jing said, but he felt a wave of dizziness hitting his brain.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, just gritted his teeth and tried to hold on.

Without a word, Tang Ye immediately reached out and placed his hand on Jiang Jing's wrist.

In an instant, a look of surprise appeared on his face—the pulse was wrong!

"Mayor Jiang, you must go to the hospital immediately," Tang Ye's tone was urgent and firm.

Jiang Jing was a bit angry and said, "Little Tang, what are you doing? I already said I'm fine."

Tang Ye patiently persuaded him: "Mayor Jiang, although I am not a professional doctor, I do know some traditional Chinese medicine. Your pulse is chaotic and your breath is unstable; there is a high probability that something is wrong with your body. Let's go to the hospital for a simple check-up now; if there's nothing wrong, that would naturally be best."

At this time, Liu Xiuzhi walked out from the room.

Seeing Jiang Jing's abnormal complexion and his lips slightly bitten, she felt a faint sense of worry in her heart.

Although she and Jiang Jing had already divorced, the two had a daughter together and had lived together for many years; even if the love had faded, the family bond still remained.

Under Tang Ye's insistence.

The car sped toward the City People's Hospital.

In the car, Tang Ye hurriedly reported the situation to Lin Ru: "Secretary-General, I am reporting to you that Mayor Jiang has suddenly developed physical discomfort, and I am accompanying him to the hospital for a check-up."

"How could this happen?" Lin Ru's voice was tense as she asked urgently, "Is it serious?"

An exclamation came from Liu Xiuzhi in the back row.

"Old Jiang, say something, don't scare me."

Tang Ye looked back at Jiang Jing in the back seat and was shocked—Jiang Jing had already lost consciousness.

Tang Ye adjusted his emotions and said into the phone, "Please reschedule Mayor Jiang's activities for today. Once the examination results are in, I will notify you immediately."

Afterward, Tang Ye called his father, Tang Yu.

"Dad, there is an emergency; Mayor Jiang has fallen into a coma. I suspect it is a sudden cerebral hemorrhage."

Tang Yu was startled, "I will arrange for an Expert consultation immediately."

Jiang Jing was his son's superior!

If something went wrong, wouldn't it affect his son's future?

Liu Xiuzhi looked dejected, occasionally wiping the corners of her eyes with her little finger.

Tang Ye sighed inwardly.

What was the use of crying?

If nothing unexpected happened, Mayor Jiang's sudden illness was likely caused by being angered during an argument with his ex-wife!

She had bought a plane ticket and traveled thousands of miles to rush back, and before she had even adjusted to the jet lag, she started arguing!

It was too late to regret it now!

Mayor Jiang was his backer!

It had been so hard to build that trust.

If he were suddenly gone because of an argument with his ex-wife.

Damn it!

Wouldn't he be stifled to death?
