Chapter 463: Old Li's Blood Was Not Shed in Vain!
"Old Wu, you've come at just the right time; I was just about to look for you!" Tang Ye's initiative caught Wu Yang off guard.
"Looking for me? Is there a lead on Li Yongbo's case?" Wu Yang reacted.
Tang Ye nodded: "Sun Linong has been placed under 'internal disciplinary investigation'. You lead the way, let's go to Li Yongbo's home and take a look."
Wu Yang smiled with relief: "Let's go."
The Garden Bureau Family Quarters was not far from the County Government; Tang Ye drove there in less than five minutes.
This was an old building without an elevator. When the two climbed to the fourth floor, they saw two men skulking at the entrance of Li Yongbo's home.
Wu Yang shouted sternly: "Who are you people?"
The two were startled, but then calmed down. The man with a face full of jowls raised his eyebrows, put his hands on his hips, and retorted: "And who are you?"
"From the County Government," Tang Ye said, frowning.
The jowly man sneered: "The government? I advise you to mind your own business and get lost immediately."
"It's only right and proper to pay back debts; this family owes us money!" the other man chimed in, "Don't meddle, or you'll suffer the consequences."
Tang Ye hadn't expected them to be so arrogant, and he sneered: "I'm definitely going to meddle in this business today."
Seeing that he was tough, the jowly man stepped forward and grabbed Tang Ye by the collar.
Tang Ye blocked with his elbow and kicked him in the waist from the side.
The man felt the pain and went tumbling down the stairs.
Seeing this, the other man retreated nervously. Tang Ye closed in, caught him by the shoulder, and gave a light lift.
The man flew out and landed, seeing stars.
Seeing they were no match for Tang Ye, the two left while cursing and swearing.
"County Magistrate Tang, I didn't expect your combat skills to be so good!" Wu Yang watched with admiration.
"It's enough to deal with people like this." Tang Ye brushed off his sleeves, "They came to block the door, so they must have intended to threaten Yu Yan and her family. This proves they have a guilty conscience and are afraid of the matter being exposed."
Wu Yang dialed Yu Yan's phone.
The mother and daughter had been badly frightened at home; only after hearing it was Wu Yang outside did they dare to open the door.
As soon as Yu Yan saw a familiar face, tears of grievance welled up instantly.
"Old Wu, thank goodness you came! This gang has been blocking my door for a long time; whenever we go out, they follow us."
"Don't cry, we've chased them away," Wu Yang comforted her, "County Magistrate Tang came today to tell you some good news."
Only then did Yu Yan notice Tang Ye, and her eyes lit up: "County Magistrate Tang, come inside!"
The light inside the room was dim, and Li Yongbo's portrait hung on the wall.
Tang Ye walked up to the portrait and bowed deeply.
Yu Yan's daughter, Li Ya, brought over two glasses of water. When Tang Ye took them, he noticed the girl—she had a delicate figure and exceptionally bright, large eyes, though her brow was clouded with an indelible sorrow.
Tang Ye drank the tea and said softly, "Sister Yu, I have some news for you. There was indeed something suspicious about Old Li's death; he was framed. The mastermind and accomplices in this case have all been arrested. The reason someone came to block your door is because they are afraid."
Yu Yan looked at Tang Ye in surprise, unable to control herself any longer; tears streamed from the corners of her eyes, and she began to wail.
"I knew it! Old Li, you were wronged!"
As for Yu Yan's daughter, she hurriedly supported her mother and comforted her softly, tears also spilling from the corners of her eyes.
Tang Ye waited for the two to calm down slightly before saying softly, "Although Old Li has passed away, he was once our colleague and a warrior willing to fight against evil forces. Therefore, from now on, whatever difficulties you have, the organization will help you resolve them. I discussed this with Wu Yang on the way here. The County Government is about to establish a company. I have already looked at Li Ya's file, and there is a position suitable for her. If she is willing, she can join this company at that time, and we can provide a state-owned unit establishment."
Upon hearing Tang Ye say this, Yu Yan's eyes lit up, and she said softly, "County Magistrate Tang, thank you so much."
Li Ya's eyes filled with tears: "County Magistrate Tang, I am willing to accept this job. Please rest assured, I will definitely work hard in the future and not let down your trust."
Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said softly to Yu Yan, "If you really want to thank someone, you should thank Deputy County Magistrate Wu."
Wu Yang mused that Tang Ye knew how to handle people well, and said earnestly, "If it weren't for County Magistrate Tang's intervention, the matter would have been very difficult to resolve."
Seeing that the matter was mostly resolved, Tang Ye stood up and said, "Sister Yu, if you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me at any time."
Yu Yan said with red eyes, "Thank you!"
Recalling that meeting with Tang Ye, Yu Yan had knelt before Tang Ye twice, and Tang Ye had not given her a promise at the time.
Although Yu Yan knew in her heart that it was presumptuous of her to beg Tang Ye for help, she still felt some resentment.
She even thought that Tang Ye was in cahoots with those bad guys.
Wu Yang's suggestion that she beg Tang Ye had been a completely wrong piece of advice.
Therefore, in private, Yu Yan had many complaints about Tang Ye, and even harbored resentment.
But, practice proves everything.
Although Tang Ye did not agree at the time, he proved with his actions that Wu Yang's suggestion was not wrong; Tang Ye was indeed a Party cadre with a sense of chivalry, and he was a different breed from the people in the Suiyuan Gang.
Respect ignited in Wu Yang's heart; it was just as he had judged, Tang Ye was indeed someone worth trusting, and even worth following.
After Tang Ye and Wu Yang left, Li Ya heard a commotion outside.
Yu Yan's eyes were full of worry: "Could it be that thug Zhu Dadan and his hooligans have come to block County Magistrate Tang and Old Wu?"
Li Ya hurried to the balcony, and the worried expression in her eyes instantly turned to relief.
She saw the jowly man clutching his head, squatting on the ground, while the lackeys he had called over were squatting beside him.
As for Tang Ye and Wu Yang, they stood with their backs straight beside this group of people.
"Mom, it's fine. County Magistrate Tang and Uncle Wu must have contacted the Police. Zhu Dadan and his gang of hooligans have all been controlled." The emotions Li Ya had suppressed for so long were finally completely released at this moment.
"These people shouldn't dare to come again in the future," Yu Yan let out a heavy breath.
This gang usually bullied the market, but now they had been caught red-handed by the Police.
The residents of the residential complex all came out to watch the excitement.
"What's going on? Why is Zhu Dadan handcuffed?"
"It's good that he's been arrested. He hasn't done fewer bad things in the past."
"His guts were too big this time; he went to harass Yu Yan's family and was caught red-handed by two Deputy County Magistrates. The key is that he didn't know when to quit and even brought people over to retaliate."
"Why did two Deputy County Magistrates come to Yu Yan's house?"
"That's great, this big hoodlum is finally having bad luck; it would be best if he rots in prison."
"I heard it's because Old Li's matter was uncovered. He didn't die from being drunk at all, but was murdered by someone."
"Wasn't there a rumor before that before Old Li died, he fought with thugs, was slashed dozens of times, and bled dry before he collapsed? It seems this matter is true. Sun Linong has finally been arrested."
"That dog Sun Linong has truly done every evil thing imaginable. Him being investigated by the County Commission for Discipline Inspection is very gratifying. Old Li's blood was not shed in vain!"
