Chapter 423: County Magistrate Tang Has Been Set Up!

~9 min read 1,643 words

"I trust you!"

Hearing these words, Lin Heng almost shed tears.

For so long, Lin Heng had been in a state of inner conflict.

"County Magistrate Tang, thank you for being able to understand me."

"Little Lin, this is not your fault. In the future, put your work first; don't get involved in these scheming matters."

"Understood."

"As for Zhao Bin, keep him steady; don't let him know you have changed."

"Mm, rest assured, I will act as an undercover agent for you. If I encounter anything detrimental to you, I will alert you at that time."

In fact, Tang Ye had long known that Lin Heng was an informant planted by Zhao Bin at his side.

Tang Ye possessed strong secretarial attributes; he could resolve many matters on his own.

Therefore, Lin Heng serving as his Liaison Officer was mainly for running errands and doing odd jobs.

Tang Ye generally would not let Lin Heng touch core secrets; he handled those personally.

From the first day Lin Heng appeared, Tang Ye knew there was something wrong with him.

Tang Ye did not overthink it; he had no heart to slowly search for a reliable person himself.

Moreover, reliable people could also become unreliable due to various temptations.

Therefore.

It was better to keep a card on the table beside him that read "I am an undercover agent."

But, Tang Ye had not expected that after living in close quarters with Lin Heng day and night.

He had actually developed the informant Gao Hong had planted at his side into one of his own people.

Although Lin Heng's value to Zhao Bin was not very great, turning the other side's person into his own still brought Tang Ye great inner satisfaction.

His personal charisma was truly too powerful!

Behind Zhao Bin was County Magistrate Gao Hong.

Gao Hong had always been quite good to Tang Ye and had never created difficulties for him, but Tang Ye had always remained vigilant in his heart, because on the surface, Gao Hong was the newly promoted wolf king of the Suiyuan Gang's wolf pack.

It was just that this wolf king's appeal was not as powerful as that wolf king, Wang Xingjian.

Humans are higher animals; their territorial awareness is stronger than that of beasts. When a threat intrudes, he will inevitably become alert.

Tang Ye analyzed Gao Hong's strategy, which was to adopt a soft approach, wanting to capture him step by step.

Previously, when Tang Ye was called by Gao Hong to play mahjong in the middle of the night, that was a clear signal.

He was testing whether he could use money to corrupt him.

Fortunately, Tang Ye did not accept Huang Bingwen's tea money at the time; otherwise, he would have been successfully corrupted by him.

"County Magistrate Tang, there is something I would like to report to you. The woman next door to the apartment you live in was arranged there by Zhao Bin. When I was cleaning for you before, I saw Zhao Bin go over to knock on the door, and then I heard their conversation at the doorway."

"Mm, I understand." Tang Ye secretly thought that Lin Heng's words confirmed his own conjecture.

The landline rang, and Tang Ye glanced at Lin Heng.

Seeing Tang Ye pick up the phone, Lin Heng knew it was inconvenient for him to be present, so he immediately excused himself and left the office.

Tang Ye answered the phone, "Old Wan, any news?"

Wan Ming said softly, "I've already found out the background of your female neighbor next door. This girl moved in next to you last month; she works as a receptionist at a company called Beijing. Her father is currently receiving treatment at the City People's Hospital for uremia. Based on her family background, she simply cannot afford the huge medical expenses."

Tang Ye understood what Wan Ming meant, "You mean, someone promised to pay her father's medical bills and then had her approach me?"

Wan Ming sighed, "Your sixth sense is truly accurate; as soon as there's a hint of a fishy smell, you sniff it out immediately."

Tang Ye couldn't be bothered to argue with Wan Ming; he rolled his eyes, grasped the key point, and asked, "What is the background of the Beijing company?"

Wan Ming's tone instantly became grave, "The General Manager of Beijing is named Huang Bingwen. This company is mainly engaged in infrastructure work; many sections of the Suiyuan County 'Village-to-Village' construction project were contracted by this company."

Tang Ye frowned, "I met Huang Bingwen once. Previously, when I was playing mahjong with Gao Hong at the Grain Bureau guesthouse, he handed me an envelope. I didn't take it at the time; I estimate there was about twenty thousand yuan in it."

Wan Ming said coldly, "This Huang Bingwen started out as a construction foreman. By chance, he made a connection with Zhao Bin, and afterwards, he registered a company specializing in government infrastructure projects. In less than ten years, he became a famous big boss in Suiyuan."

Tang Ye was shocked internally, secretly thinking that he was fortunate not to have taken the tea money at the time.

Otherwise, he would have really been led into the ditch by Gao Hong and Zhao Bin.

"These people are truly pervasive; seeing that they couldn't corrupt me with money, they turned to using a woman to approach me."

Thinking that he had also lost four thousand yuan, Tang Ye was suddenly so angry that his whole body trembled.

Four thousand yuan was his salary for two months!

He would rather donate it to a poor family than feed it to these bastards!

Wan Ming sensed the chilling murderous aura coming from Tang Ye's tone!

"Are you alright?"

"I've been set up. Damn it, this score must be settled clearly!"

Wan Ming said softly, "I will focus on investigating Huang Bingwen; his company is definitely not clean."

Tang Ye reminded him, "Wait until you have enough information before taking action; don't alert the enemy."

……

Huang Bingwen sat in his office, saw Huang Ling walk in, and with a smile on his face, pointed to the sofa and said softly, "Sit!"

Huang Ling sat on the sofa, looking at Huang Bingwen cautiously, "Manager Huang, is there something?"

Huang Bingwen adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "How is the matter I asked you to handle regarding approaching Tang Ye going?"

Huang Ling frowned and said, "He is a very cautious person, and it seems he is often not at home. Once, I waited for him to return, and it was already past eleven o'clock. If I go to knock on the door, will it make him feel that I am being too deliberate?"

Huang Bingwen suddenly burst into laughter and patted Huang Ling on the shoulder, "Little Ling, you don't understand men! If you want to capture a man, you must strive to get close to him. A man chasing a woman is separated by a mountain; a woman chasing a man is separated by a thin veil. You see him as prey, but in fact, he is also seeing you as prey. This is a psychological game. You need to open your heart and be more proactive in approaching him."

A complex look appeared in Huang Ling's eyes.

Huang Bingwen knew that Huang Ling was still unable to shed her shyness and reserve.

However, it is precisely because of this that she is fundamentally different from those jaded socialites, exerting a unique attraction on men.

Huang Bingwen took a check out of his drawer, placed it in Huang Ling's hand, and took the opportunity to lightly stroke the back of her hand.

Huang Ling instinctively recoiled her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

Seeing the number on the check, she bit her lip, struggling to tell herself not to resist.

If she resisted, her father's medical expenses would have no source.

Huang Bingwen was satisfied with Huang Ling's reaction, which gave him a great sense of gratification.

There are many things in the world that money cannot buy.

But there are many things in the world that money can accomplish.

"This money is your father's medical and hospitalization expenses for one year. If you handle this matter well, I will pay for your father's kidney transplant surgery. Additionally, I will promote you to a high-level position in our company."

Huang Ling's eyes turned red, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, shattering as they hit the floor tiles.

"President Huang, I, I, I don't know how to face my boyfriend."

Huang Bingwen patted Huang Ling on the shoulder, "Can your boyfriend help you solve the problem of medical expenses? Can your boyfriend give you a stable job?"

In my view, you are lucky.

I have told you about Tang Ye's status; he is the youngest Deputy Division Level Official in Hanzhou, and both his appearance and physique are quite good; many people are lining up to become his lover.

For you, this is an opportunity to change your destiny.

You must seize it!"

Huang Ling gritted her teeth, looked at the check, and nodded slightly, "Understood, President Huang, I will do as you say."

Huang Bingwen handed over a tissue.

"Wipe away your tears; don't cry once you step out the door. Keep smiling, and don't let others think I've bullied you."

Huang Ling tried hard to adjust her expression and squeezed out a smile.

Huang Bingwen pinched Huang Ling's cheek and sighed inwardly, what a truly pitiful and lovely woman!

It is a pity that County Magistrate Gao has repeatedly requested not to touch Huang Ling for the time being.

After Tang Ye gets tired of playing with her...

Huang Bingwen will also have to taste this fresh flower!
