Chapter 438: You are truly clear-sky officials!

Tang Ye gave Wan Ming a wink.

Wan Ming walked straight to Bao Guohua's side and pressed down on his shoulders.

Bao Guohua was greatly shocked, struggling as he shouted, "Let me go! You are framing me. Cheng Lin, Tang Ye, you are abusing your power and using lynching! I am going to report you!"

Seeing that Bao Guohua was so uncooperative, Wan Ming had no choice but to put handcuffs on him.

As the cold handcuffs locked around his wrists, Bao Guohua finally began to feel afraid!

The entire conference room went silent in an instant.

They were as quiet as cicadas in late autumn.

Was Bao Guohua, who had always been able to stir up wind and rain in the town, just finished like that?

Cheng Lin's face was livid. She turned to the victim's relatives and said in a deep voice, "As a government employee, Bao Guohua not only failed to help the villagers seek justice when they encountered problems, but also attempted to cover up the truth. His crimes are heinous. This matter has seriously damaged the image of Party members, and the County Discipline Inspection Commission will thoroughly investigate his issues. Everyone present here as a cadre must not only do your own jobs well but also reflect deeply. If you report problems in a timely manner, the organization will treat you with leniency."

The cadres in the town looked at each other, and many began to feel restless in their hearts.

Bao Guohua experienced what it meant for everyone to push a falling wall.

He felt deep regret in his heart; if he had known, he wouldn't have associated so closely with Huang Bingwen.

It was said that Huang Bingwen was a friend of County Magistrate Gao.

He thought he could use this connection to gain County Magistrate Gao's appreciation and thus have an opportunity for advancement.

Facts proved that when you take crooked paths, there is always a day when you fall into the water!

The victim's mother realized that the matter had been resolved, and at this moment, her face was once again covered in tears.

"Secretary Cheng, thank you! If my son could see this scene, he could rest in peace in the afterlife."

Cheng Lin restrained her aura and said gently, "Auntie, you don't need to be so polite. Branch Secretary Guo said that your husband was persecuted; please tell us about that as well."

"In order to seek justice for our son, my husband kept wanting to petition, but every time he just left the township, he would be controlled by people. They first locked him in a closed room, not giving him food for days and nights, only water to drink; later, they forcibly sent him to a psychiatric hospital. After he came back, he was dull, foolish, and mentally confused."

"There is also my son's fiancée. She was originally an employee at the county textile factory, but she was dismissed for no reason. The factory leaders said that if our family kept holding onto this matter, the government would put pressure on the factory, and they had no choice."

Cheng Lin glanced at Tang Ye.

Tang Ye understood the signal and stated the solution the two had agreed upon on the way.

"In this matter, the government has an inescapable responsibility. We will arrange for your husband to go to the hospital for treatment, with the expenses covered by the Beijing Company;

Regarding this lady's job, we will also coordinate and arrange a suitable position based on her work experience, with plans to first arrange it at the County Tourism Bureau.

What do you think?"

Hearing this plan, the victim's mother nodded forcefully, her eyes filled not only with sorrow but also with a trace of solace.

The deceased's fiancée supported her, her shoulders also trembling slightly.

Tang Ye sighed inwardly.

Although they had provided a solution, a human life had already passed, and a family had been torn apart; no amount of compensation could make up for it.

He looked toward Guo Shulin: "Branch Secretary Guo, we will arrange for a construction team to rebuild the shoddy project in your village, and you can supervise the entire process. These are the current plans; if you have any other needs, feel free to say so."

Guo Shulin's eyes were red: "Secretary Cheng, County Magistrate Tang, you truly are clear-sky officials! On behalf of all the villagers of Xiaoguo Village, I thank you!"

Cheng Lin stood up and bowed to Guo Shulin: "Branch Secretary Guo, on behalf of the government, I apologize to you. This matter was a failure of government supervision, and there were black sheep in the ranks. We will reflect deeply and never commit similar mistakes again."

With the matter mostly resolved, Tang Ye and Cheng Lin left the conference room.

Bao Guohua was pressed by Wan Ming as they walked toward the police car.

Bao Guohua's eyes were filled with terror; he no longer had the look of a local tyrant.

A large crowd had gathered around, many of whom were villagers from Xiaoguo Village.

Seeing Bao Guohua being escorted, someone took off their shoe and threw it hard at him:

"Smash you to death, you dog official!"

"Bao Guohua, you corrupt official, you've finally been caught!"

Cheng Lin and Tang Ye walked out of the government building.

The crowd looked at Cheng Lin, discussing among themselves:

"Is this the female secretary of Suiyuan County? She really has such an elegant temperament, like someone who walked out of a painting."

"The man beside her is also very handsome; is he her Secretary?"

"No, that is Deputy County Magistrate Tang Ye. I've seen him on the county television news."

"The two of them together look like actors from a TV drama."

"Thanks to them, the problems in Xiaoguo Village were solved, and Bao Guohua, that corrupt official, was brought to justice."

Guo Shulin walked Tang Ye and Cheng Lin all the way to their car.

Tang Ye held his hand: "Branch Secretary Guo, let the fellow villagers disperse. I will continue to pay attention to the development of Xiaoguo Village. I will come to see you again in the future; if you have any problems, contact me at any time."

Cheng Lin added from the side: "County Magistrate Tang is an expert at handling the economy. I have decided that he will be responsible for the subsequent development of Xiaoguo Village. Treat him as one of your own; if you have difficulties, find him, and he will help you solve them."

Tang Ye laughed: "Since Secretary Cheng has given the instruction, Branch Secretary Guo, rest assured, I will definitely keep a close eye on Xiaoguo Village."

Guo Shulin understood that with the continued attention of County Leaders, there would definitely be more opportunities for the village's development.

Tang Ye and Cheng Lin sat inside the car. It was unclear who started clapping first, but the onlookers followed suit one after another.

Xu Qiao suddenly remembered the day Tang Ye left Pinghu; at that time, he had experienced the highest praise for seeking welfare for the people.

Cheng Lin, however, was having this experience for the first time. She instinctively rolled down the car window and looked back at the gradually blurring crowd behind her, feeling moved in her heart: So this is what it feels like to be recognized by the common people; this feeling is both intoxicating and addictive.

"We should come down and walk around more often in the future."

"Alright, I'm at your beck and call!"

Tang Ye thought to himself: Has Cheng Lin become addicted to unannounced visits?

By going deep into the grassroots, she had truly realized the joy of work.

Using power to root out the strong and support the weak, ultimately winning the sincere recognition of the people.

The satisfaction it brought was truly addictive!

Lin Heng and Xu Qiao sat in the back of the car.

It was Lin Heng's first time experiencing a scene where the common people showed such support, and he remarked with emotion, "Sister Qiao'er, only today have I truly witnessed the personal charisma of Secretary Cheng and County Magistrate Tang; they genuinely want to do things for the common people."

Xu Qiao smiled and said, "We are both lucky to have followed good leaders."

Although Lin Heng had not had much contact with Xu Qiao, he knew that she privately called Tang Ye "Master." He could see that the look in Xu Qiao's eyes when she looked at Tang Ye was full of admiration, respect, and trust—all of which were recognitions Tang Ye had earned through his concrete actions.

"Yes, I must learn well from County Magistrate Tang; he understands too much, and I can learn new things every day."

"Do you have this experience, that by his side, you feel like you are a piece of trash?"

Lin Heng nodded in shock: "How did you know?"

Xu Qiao could not help but laugh: "Don't mind it, I've had that feeling too! You'll know once you stop being my 'Master's' Liaison Officer one day; it's not that we aren't good enough, it's just that 'Master' is too outstanding!"
