Chapter 46: This assist was so timely!

Tang Ye rushed to the Government.

Dozens of sand transport trucks gathered at the entrance of the Government building, blocking the road completely.

A group of people held up banners.

The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger.

Chen Zhihua hurried downstairs.

"Fellow villagers, I am Town Party Committee Secretary Chen Zhihua. If something has happened, let us discuss it properly. Everyone, please move your trucks away first; do not affect the normal operations of the Government."

"Secretary Chen, we are at our wit's end. Rumors outside say the Shashi Factory is about to go bankrupt. To earn money, we took out loans to buy these sand trucks. If the Shashi Factory collapses, how are we supposed to pay back our debts and survive?"

"I understand everyone's feelings, and I promise you all: as long as the Shashi Factory does not violate any laws or regulations, there will be no problems. Our Government will back you up."

Chen Zhihua had talked until his mouth was dry.

But this group of people refused to budge.

Seeing a few people in the crowd whispering to each other, a cold look appeared at the corners of Tang Ye's mouth.

This group was being directed and incited by others; they certainly wouldn't leave until they had finished their performance.

Half an hour later, led by a police car, two black sedans followed closely behind and stopped behind the sand trucks.

Tang Ye realized that the peak of the storm was about to arrive!

Wei County Magistrate got out of the car, walked through the crowd, and went straight to the center of the group.

Wei Jian had a stern expression as he took the megaphone, "Fellow villagers, I am County Magistrate Wei Jian! I apologize to you all; because of our negligence in our work, your lives have been affected. The weather is bad, and it might rain later, so why don't you all disperse quickly? As for the issues with the Shashi Factory, you can arrange representatives to have a discussion with us. I will resolve this for you personally, so you can rest assured."

Wei Jian's arrival had an immediate effect.

The "actors" were extremely cooperative.

The crowd dispersed, leaving behind two representatives.

During the discussion, Wei Jian agreed to the demands put forward by the sand factory representatives.

He immediately announced the immediate release of the detained gambling suspects and the drivers who caused the incident.

After the discussion ended, Wei Jian convened a meeting with the members of the Pinghu Town Party Committee.

"Comrade Zhihua, as Party Committee Secretary, you are completely lacking in experience when it comes to handling these kinds of issues."

"I learned about the situation on the way here; the Police Station in your town arrested many people yesterday, and this was the fuse. I hope you release the people immediately; do not affect the operation of the sand factory."

Some comrades handle problems too radically, do not obey the overall situation, and lack a sense of awe.

Comrade Tang Ye, you are a Seconded Official and lack grassroots experience in handling problems; you must pay attention to your methods of handling matters in the future.

Although the disturbance has stopped, everyone must take this as a warning! Remember not to let such a situation happen again."

Wei Jian's gaze locked onto Tang Ye from time to time.

Tang Ye frowned; Wei County Magistrate was constantly targeting him!

It seemed the disturbance had subsided, but this way of handling the problem was hard to agree with.

It was completely indiscriminate!

Was it wrong to crack down on gambling?

Was it wrong to pursue the driver who caused the hit-and-run?

Maintaining stability is of paramount importance, but does that mean everything else can be cast aside?

Cao Debiao felt overjoyed seeing Chen Zhihua and Tang Ye get snubbed.

Wang Kaicheng's mood was somewhat complicated; after all, a mass disturbance had occurred, and as Town Mayor, he could not escape the blame.

He also saw that Chen Zhihua and Tang Ye were Du Chengfeng's direct subordinates, and that Wei County Magistrate was deliberately using this opportunity to dampen their spirits.

"Chen Zhihua, Tang Ye, I ask you two comrades to write a self-criticism and reflect deeply, then hand it to me tomorrow morning. Everyone, the meeting is adjourned."

With the situation settled, Wei Jian walked downstairs.

A military green jeep happened to drive into the Government compound.

A middle-aged man wearing a military uniform stepped out of the car.

Subsequently, Wu Jie appeared in everyone's view.

The moment Tang Ye saw Wu Jie appear, he was secretly surprised.

Immediately after, his eyes lit up, and he felt incredibly invigorated.

Who would have thought that Wu Jie had actually "called for backup"!

And she had called a big shot!

A golden olive branch and a gold star!

This assist was so timely!

Passing by everyone, Wu Jie led the middle-aged man straight toward Tang Ye.

"He is Han Ze's lifesaver. Our town's Deputy Town Mayor, Tang Ye."

The middle-aged man took the initiative to reach out his hand, "My name is Ji Guotao, thank you for everything you have done."

Tang Ye hurriedly grasped the other man's hand, "Chief, you are too kind; this is what I should have done."

Major General Ji patted Tang Ye on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Han Ze is the son of my old Class Monitor. If something had happened to him, my comrades and I would have failed our old Class Monitor in the afterlife."

"Sister-in-law is a woman with extremely strong self-esteem who raised the child alone through all kinds of hardships. I have told her many times to bring her to the military and let Han Ze stay by my side, but she refused."

"For so many years, my other comrades and I have been sending her money, but she hasn't touched a penny. If she hadn't encountered such a serious car accident, she would never have come to me."

Tang Ye cast a look of admiration at Wu Jie, "Wu Jie is righteous; she didn't want to disturb your lives."

Ji Guotao shook his head with a bitter smile, "Back then on the highlands, we encountered a cunning sniper. If the Class Monitor hadn't reacted in time, I probably would have lost my life right there. If the Class Monitor hadn't sacrificed himself, he would definitely have done better than me. When he sacrificed himself, I promised to take good care of you and Han Ze."

Wu Jie wiped her moist eyes, "If I hadn't encountered such a difficult hurdle, I would never have opened my mouth to you. Han Ze's father was a very tough man; I cannot let Han Ze's backbone go soft."

Overcome by emotion, she was choked with sobs.

Ji Guotao looked around, his eyes full of sternness, "Rest assured, today I must get justice for you; otherwise, I am no longer a soldier trained by the old Class Monitor."

Wei Jian recognized the situation and quickly reported, "Hello, Chief, I am Wei County Magistrate, Wei Jian. After the car accident occurred, the police from the Pinghu Town Police Station were immediately dispatched, apprehended the suspect and the vehicle involved, and have already detained them."

Tang Ye secretly thought that Wei Jian's reaction was truly fast enough.

Wan Ming said carelessly, "Wei County Magistrate, you just asked us to release the suspect. We have already acted according to your wishes."

Upon hearing this, Ji Guotao raised his sword-like eyebrows, "What is going on?"

Wei Jian was almost angered to death by Wan Ming and tried hard to control his expression, "I only made that decision to appease them while I was having a discussion with the representatives of the Shashi Factory. Comrade Wan Ming, you must immediately re-arrest the suspect."

Wan Ming felt secretly delighted and took out his mobile phone, "I will make a call quickly; the person should not have been released that fast."

Hearing that the Pinghu Town Government was being blocked, Du Chengfeng had a bad feeling and rushed to Pinghu.

Arriving at the Pinghu Town Government, he did not expect that the matter had already been calmed down.

In the conference room, Du Chengfeng saw Ji Guotao.

After a few words of greeting, Ji Guotao smiled and said, "This matter was handled appropriately by Pinghu Town. Especially Comrade Tang Ye, who sent the injured to the hospital for emergency treatment at the critical moment, found the best surgical Expert at the first opportunity, and even paid the medical expenses in advance; otherwise, it would certainly have caused loss of life."

Du Chengfeng laughed, "Little Tang is warm-hearted and often acts bravely for a just cause!"

Ji Guotao continued, "I must also commend the Police Station Chief of the Pinghu Town Police Station, Wan Ming. He acted at the first opportunity after the accident occurred and controlled the criminal suspect. He is brave and resourceful, has strong working ability, and is a good Police officer who does things with heart."

Receiving the praise, Wan Ming felt full of energy and shouted a slogan, "Eliminating the strong and supporting the weak, and upholding justice, is the duty of us grassroots Police."

Wei Jian sat at the table feeling quite uncomfortable.

Every word of Ji Guotao made it impossible for him to step down.

"I won't say much more! Remember one thing: do not let the weak be humiliated, and do not let the martyrs feel disheartened." "The new book is in the testing period, please leave comments and help with the data. Bowing in gratitude!"
