Chapter 432: Why Did Tang Ye Turn Hostile?
Tang Ye looked at Huang Bingwen's appearance, his heart full of repulsion.
However, he still smiled and said, "Then thank you, Boss Huang."
Huang Bingwen narrowed his eyes and poured another glass of wine for Tang Ye, "County Magistrate Tang, besides that debt, there is another matter to inquire about. It is said that you went to Small Fruit Village for research with Deputy Secretary Cheng Lin this afternoon and discovered some problems. You must not listen to the one-sided words of that bunch of unruly people."
Tang Ye put down his wine glass, feigning ignorance, "Oh? That project was done by your Beijing Company. It is said that the construction quality is very poor; not only did the cement thickness fail to meet standards, but the drainage system has problems, and a newly built bridge was directly washed away by the flood, even leading to casualties."
A fire burned in Huang Bingwen's heart; he secretly thought that this bunch of villagers really deserved to be disciplined, actually shooting cold arrows in the dark.
A look of helplessness appeared on his face, "That bridge indeed has certain problems, but the reason there were casualties that day was because that man was driving too fast and drove straight into the river. There are eyewitnesses who can testify!"
Tang Ye said indifferently, "It is said that the deceased's father was sent to a psychiatric hospital for forced treatment, resulting in a mental breakdown?"
Huang Bingwen said indignantly, "County Magistrate Tang, that old thing really has a mental illness. His son drowned by accident, and we provided humanitarian care and compensated him fifty thousand yuan, but he still opened his mouth like a lion, relentless, insisting that we compensate him one million. Isn't this extortion? The company refused his request, so he sat in protest at our company entrance every day. Later, we forcibly sent him to a psychiatric hospital only to find out that this old thing had suffered a huge blow because of his son's death. If one is sick, one should actively seek treatment; his medical expenses were even paid by our company."
Tang Ye secretly thought that Huang Bingwen was truly cunning!
It was originally malicious injury, yet after such glib and deceitful sophistry, it turned into helping others?
"Manager Huang, the road construction in Xiaoguo Village has serious quality problems; this is what we saw on-site. Today, besides me, Secretary Cheng also saw it. Even if I don't express an opinion, Secretary Cheng will submit this matter to the Standing Committee for discussion."
Huang Bingwen's eyes rolled, and he grinned, "Then I must ask County Magistrate Tang to help. As far as I know, you and Secretary Cheng have a very good relationship. As long as you are willing to step in, Secretary Cheng will definitely give you this face."
"Manager Huang, you have a detailed understanding of me!" Tang Ye said calmly.
Huang Bingwen glanced at Huang Ling and issued a blank check, "County Magistrate Tang, I have a bold idea. Promote Huang Ling to be the Project Manager of Beijing Company, and from now on, all Village-to-Village Projects will be under her responsibility. For every road repaired, we will give her a commission, and the commission rate is fifteen percent. I know you personally have high moral integrity and are unwilling to get involved in economic issues, but given your relationship with Huang Ling, isn't her money yours?"
Hearing Huang Bingwen say this, Huang Ling's heart surged with waves.
A highway project fund is at least several million; fifteen percent would be a commission of over a million.
Huang Bingwen felt that the chips he offered were enough to make Tang Ye relent.
Tang Ye looked at Huang Bingwen quietly.
Huang Bingwen's face was piled with smiles, vulgar and cunning.
He suddenly picked up the wine glass in front of him and splashed it directly at Huang Bingwen.
Huang Bingwen subconsciously wiped his face, staring at Tang Ye in shock!
A second ago, he was immersed in the joy of pulling Tang Ye into the water.
He didn't expect that in the next second, Tang Ye would directly turn hostile.
"County Magistrate Tang, what is the meaning of this?" Huang Bingwen glared at Tang Ye, furious.
Tang Ye smashed the glass directly onto the floor.
The glass shattered into pieces.
"Huang Bingwen, you are truly disgusting. No wonder the Village-to-Village Project is a poorly constructed project. If I'm not mistaken, this money wasn't used by you on the project, but was all used by you to collude and corrupt officials, right?"
Huang Bingwen had not yet recovered from Tang Ye's sudden change in attitude!
"County Magistrate Tang, weren't we chatting quite well just now? Why are you suddenly angry? Didn't you agree to get rich with us?"
Tang Ye took a deep breath and looked at Huang Bingwen coldly, "For scum and dog shit like you, I would compromise with you? You overestimate yourself and underestimate me too much."
Huang Bingwen realized that Tang Ye did not intend to join in, so he frowned and warned, "County Magistrate Tang, you should think about the consequences; doing anything leaves traces. Although you haven't made mistakes in economic aspects, you have major problems in your conduct. How about I send the photos from last night to your wife or your father-in-law? What would they think?"
Tang Ye sneered, "What photos?"
Huang Bingwen was burning with rage; he walked straight to the corner and opened his briefcase.
He took out an envelope and poured several photos out of it!
A look of surprise appeared in Huang Ling's eyes.
Huang Bingwen had actually rushed to have these photos developed.
It shows that he had long been prepared to use these photos to blackmail Tang Ye.
"Tang Ye, today I wanted to be friends with you, but don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Don't think you are so remarkable; isn't it just because you landed a good wife and found a good backer that you rose to Deputy Division Level? As long as I leak these photos, your life will be over."
Tang Ye did not show a look of panic, "Huang Bingwen, is this your usual tactic for dealing with officials? I am now particularly curious whether those officials who cooperated with you all have handles in your hands."
Huang Bingwen laughed crazily, "That's right, as long as they have cooperated with me, I keep evidence. Can't help it; when one is in the world, one must have some means to save one's life. You just splashed me with wine; I am a broad-minded person and won't hold it against you. As long as you kneel down and apologize to me, we can still be friends."
Tang Ye looked at Huang Bingwen's arrogant appearance, his anger rising from nowhere.
He looked at the wine glass in front of Huang Ling and gently swept it with his hand.
The wine glass fell to the ground, making a sharp sound.
Tang Ye was quite speechless in his heart...
Wasn't it agreed that smashing the cup would be the signal?
Why haven't Wan Ming and the others come in yet?
Could it be that the sound just now wasn't loud enough?
He could only smash it one more time!
Before Huang Bingwen could react, the wooden door of the private room was pushed open, and a group of people rushed in from outside.
Huang Bingwen looked at Tang Ye in shock, cold sweat breaking out all over his body.
Tang Ye said softly to Wan Ming, "I have already recorded the words he just said. However, there are still many things he hasn't confessed. A detail he mentioned just now is worth digging into: he has kept evidence on everyone who has cooperated with him. Following this clue, we should be able to uncover quite a few people."
Er Zi and a police officer pressed Huang Bingwen onto the table, his cheeks distorted and deformed from the pressure!
However, he still hadn't realized his situation and was still clamoring!
"Tang Ye, I have evidence of your illicit affair with Huang Ling. If I get into trouble, I will also bite a piece of flesh off you."
Wan Ming walked to Huang Bingwen's side unhurriedly, picked up those photos, and curled his lips in disdain.
"Huang Bingwen, haven't you realized it yet?
These photos were deliberately staged as bait to get you hooked.
You are truly ridiculous; you are at death's door, yet you still think these are evidence!"
