Chapter 464: County Magistrate Gao Regrets It Again!

Tang Ye and Wu Yang returned to the office together.

Wu Yang took the initiative to hand Tang Ye a cigarette and said emotionally, "County Magistrate Tang, I thank you on behalf of old Li. In fact, he mentioned to me more than once before that he wanted to bring the materials to you. If he hadn't been so hesitant, perhaps the tragedy wouldn't have happened."

Tang Ye sighed: "After this incident, the County Garden Bureau will definitely have to undergo a major reshuffle; you should make the relevant arrangements."

Wu Yang nodded slightly: "I'll bring the list and materials over later; please help me think it over."

Tang Ye understood the implication behind Wu Yang's words—this was a clear declaration of allegiance. He said softly: "The city is currently emphasizing the rejuvenation of the cadre ranks; you might as well select a group of people with drive and upright character to cultivate well."

Wu Yang smiled and responded: "Don't worry, there are many outstanding young people in our team."

Clearly, after this incident, the Suiyuan County Garden Bureau was bound to face a thorough personnel adjustment.

After Wu Yang left Tang Ye's office, he felt a secret sense of emotion in his heart: his choice this time had been the right bet. He had originally thought Tang Ye would sit by and do nothing, but he hadn't expected him to provide a resolution so quickly.

What was even more critical was that one could see Tang Ye's skill in handling problems from this matter.

He was adept at capturing an opponent's flaws and then winning with a single strike.

The Director of the County Garden Bureau, Sun Linong, was an old subordinate of County Magistrate Gao Hong.

I wonder what County Magistrate Gao will think when he learns of this?

……

Inside the County Magistrate's office, Gao Hong sat before his desk, his eyes full of fury.

He hadn't expected Sun Linong to be arrested, and even less did he expect this matter to implicate the cause of Li Guoyong's death.

One must know that he bore responsibility in this affair.

Back when Li Guoyong died, in order to cover up the truth, Feng Lin had once called Gao Hong.

Although Gao Hong was not directly involved, he had given Feng Lin the opportunity to cover up the truth.

Even though the entire matter was operated by Feng Lin, would Feng Lin sell him out?

The more Gao Hong thought about it, the more irritable he became.

That dog Tang Ye had once again torn a piece of flesh off him.

On the surface, it was just a problem with the Garden Bureau, but in reality, it also involved the inside story of municipal engineering projects.

Gao Hong had operated in Suiyuan for many years; although he was not directly involved in economic issues, he had fattened a group of his subordinates.

The tens of millions in municipal engineering funds every year had long since formed a massive network of relationships.

If Tang Ye kept pulling at this thread, it would be easy to uproot his people.

The landline rang, and Gao Hong reached out to answer the call.

"Secretary Han, is something the matter?"

"County Magistrate Gao, please come to my office for a moment."

Gao Hong immediately headed to the Party Committee Office.

……

Inside the room, besides Han Guangyao, the Full-time Deputy Secretary Cheng Lin, Organization Department Minister Kang Jiayi, and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Chen Zhiyuan were all present.

There was also the County Party Committee Standing Committee Member and Deputy County Magistrate, Tang Ye.

When Gao Hong saw Tang Ye, his expression turned gloomy in an instant.

Tang Ye thought to himself, this smiling tiger is finally not even bothering to act in front of me anymore.

Looking at it from another angle, this was victory!

"County Magistrate Gao has arrived, so our small meeting can begin. Comrade Tang Ye is very familiar with the entire incident; I will have him explain the cause and effect of this matter to everyone, and then we will discuss how to handle it."

Tang Ye nodded to Han Guangyao, then swept his gaze over everyone and spoke slowly: "The cause of the matter was that a landscaping engineering company wanted to participate in the bidding for the Industrial Park greening project. The next day, someone broke into her home, not only imprisoning her family but also using violent threats to make her cancel her plans to participate in the Suiyuan greening project.

After the Public Security Bureau learned of this, they acted immediately, sorting through all the greening engineering companies in Suiyuan, and ultimately locked onto Feng Lin as the most suspicious.

Coupled with the fact that a few days ago, Li Yongbo's wife, Yu Yan, came to find me to report that there were dark dealings in the Garden Bureau, claiming that Li Yongbo died suspiciously, we followed the clues and discovered that Sun Linong had engaged in serious disciplinary and legal violations, colluding with Feng Lin."

Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Chen Zhiyuan felt Tang Ye's gaze turn toward him and took over the conversation: "After the Discipline Inspection Commission learned of the situation, we immediately established a Special Investigation Team. Through surprise interrogations, Sun Linong confessed to his criminal acts, with the amount involved exceeding ten million yuan. At the same time, he admitted that Li Yongbo's death was orchestrated by Feng Lin."

A cold light flashed in Cheng Lin's eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "This Sun Linong is too detestable! He acts one way to your face and another behind your back; he used donations as a pretext, but in reality, he helped Feng Lin scout targets. We received the news in time and rescued a female student from Feng Lin's residence. This person completely ignores the law and discipline; his conduct is no different from a beast."

Kang Jiayi stroked his chin and said in a low voice: "Not long ago, in order to get a promotion, Sun Linong frequently ran to the city to seek office. This matter even reached the ears of Minister Xia Hong, who once specifically called me to find an opportunity to persuade and educate him. Sun Linong's problem is no accident."

No sooner had Kang Jiayi finished speaking.

Than Gao Hong sensed that everyone's gaze was focused on him.

At this moment, Sun Linong had no chance to turn things around!

He realized he had to take a stance, so he coughed lightly: "I am very shocked to learn of Sun Linong's disciplinary violations. I considered myself to have some understanding of him, but I never expected that he would change so much in these few years, reaching the point of colluding with businessmen and disregarding human life.

I believe this matter must be investigated to the end, and Sun Linong must be punished severely. However, we must be careful with the scale of the case; after all, implicating too many people is not conducive to internal unity—this is just my suggestion; as for how to handle it specifically, we must listen to everyone's opinions."

Gao Hong's words caused everyone's expressions to turn grave instantly.

His meaning was very clear: double-regulate Sun Linong, and there was no need to investigate other implicated personnel.

Han Guangyao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Synthesizing everyone's opinions, I have three points.

First, thoroughly investigate Sun Linong's problems; we will not tolerate them and must handle them seriously;

Second, adopt a 'leniency for confession' strategy for the personnel involved; those who take the initiative to admit their mistakes, hand over illicit funds, and have relatively minor circumstances may be forgiven for past misdeeds;

Third, reorganize the personnel arrangements of the County Garden Bureau; we must have a complete blood transfusion to clear the air. If everyone has no objections, I will bring it up for discussion at the Standing Committee meeting."

Gao Hong responded with an expressionless face: "I have no objections."

Seeing that Gao Hong did not object, Han Guangyao nodded slightly: "Meeting adjourned."

……

Gao Hong returned to his office, furious.

He hadn't expected Sun Linong to be so stupid as to help Feng Lin commit evil, causing him to be so passive.

The office door was knocked on lightly.

Gao Hong looked up; it was the Executive Deputy County Magistrate Nie Kai.

"County Magistrate Gao, are you busy right now?"

Gao Hong's expression did not change, and he said in a deep voice, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Nie Kai's tone was indifferent: "I heard the problems in the County Garden Bureau are very serious. As far as I know, Wu Yang, who is in charge of the Garden Bureau, has been getting very close to Tang Ye recently."

Gao Hong's voice sounded as if it had been quenched in ice: "Did you come here specifically to say this?"

Nie Kai gave a faint smile: "County Magistrate Gao, I wanted to remind you. Tang Ye has gradually gained a firm foothold, and quite a few people are silently leaning toward him."

Gao Hong suddenly looked up, his gaze shooting toward Nie Kai like a blade: "Thanks for the reminder."

Seeing that fire was practically spitting from his eyes, Nie Kai felt incredibly happy inside.

Watching these two dogs tear at each other while standing on the sidelines was just too satisfying!

"County Magistrate Gao, I have a meeting to attend, so I won't stay long."

Having said that, he turned around to take his leave.

Nie Kai was in an exceptionally good mood.

Gao Hong had finally seen for himself just how difficult Tang Ye was to deal with!

He must be full of regret in his heart right now.

To actually think of corrupting Tang Ye into his own tool.

That was simply too wishful, too self-righteous!
