Chapter 511: Lin Heng Taken Away by the Discipline Inspection Commission!

~9 min read 1,630 words

After the meeting ended, Nie Kai found Tang Ye.

Seeing Nie Kai, Tang Ye's eyes turned cold, but his words remained very polite:

"County Magistrate Nie, are you here to hand over work with me so soon?"

"I'm not in that much of a rush. There is still some time before the training class starts; there's plenty of time. I truly envy you. It is said that this class is of a very high standard, and many of the attendees are Department-level Officials. Building good relationships with them will be helpful for your future."

"County Magistrate Nie, how about I communicate with Secretary Han and let you attend this training?"

Nie Kai was stunned for a moment, then self-deprecatingly said, "I'd like that, but I don't have the qualifications. The province now values the rejuvenation of cadres, and you are destined to move upward. When all is said and done, Suiyuan is a small place, and you are a dragon crossing the river; this is no place for you to stay long."

Tang Ye saw through Nie Kai's mindset.

It appeared to be self-effacing, but it actually hid a sense of glee after a Hidden Plot had succeeded.

"Executive Nie, I am not a dragon crossing the river, and you are not a local tyrant. How long I stay in Suiyuan is not something you or I can decide. If the organization needs it, I can work here for a lifetime, and I can do so with a clear conscience," Tang Ye said in a flat tone.

Nie Kai cursed him for being hypocritical under his breath and sighed, "You still have an opinion of me. How about this: find a time, and I'll treat you to a meal so we can have a good talk. I have actually always appreciated you; the reason for our conflict is merely a difference in stance."

Tang Ye smiled and said, "I didn't expect your perspective to be so broad. I am a person who likes to consider the present. Having a meal with you now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to swallow it."

A cold look appeared in Nie Kai's eyes: "Your words are truly grating. It seems I was being overly familiar and sticking my cold face against a hot butt."

Tang Ye waved his hand and said, "Those with different paths cannot make plans together. Executive Nie, you had better take care of yourself!"

Nie Kai gritted his teeth and sneered, "Fine, I hope you don't regret this."

Tang Ye appeared smooth, but he also had his principles.

Especially with someone like Nie Kai, he could not reconcile.

Watching Nie Kai leave, a profound look appeared in Tang Ye's eyes. Sure enough, Nie Kai had bared his fangs.

Using the Provincial Party School Training to transfer him away from Suiyuan and strip him of his division of labor, thereby sidelining him!

This was only the first step.

There would certainly be other Hidden Plots to follow.

……

Just before the end of the workday, a group of people walked into the compound and rushed into the office where Lin Heng was.

The person in the lead looked around, and his gaze finally landed on Lin Heng: "Are you Lin Heng?"

"Yes, and you are?"

"We are staff from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. We need you to cooperate with an investigation into some issues. Please come with us."

Hearing that they were from the Discipline Inspection Commission, cold sweat broke out on Lin Heng's back. He subconsciously reached for his phone, but it was snatched away by a staff member with decisive action. "Comrade Lin Heng, from now on, you are forbidden from contacting the outside world."

Lin Heng tried his best to remain calm: "Fine, I will cooperate with you."

Lin Heng was escorted into a motorcade. As the motorcade departed, the County Party Committee Compound was suddenly filled with an atmosphere of alarm.

"Did you hear? Lin Heng was taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection work group."

"Lin Heng is just a small Staff Member; shouldn't the County Commission for Discipline Inspection be the one to investigate him? Why did it involve the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

"The drunkard's heart is not in the cup. Think about it, whose Liaison Officer is Lin Heng?"

"Tang Ye? Is the other side aiming at Tang Ye?"

"Tang Ye brought vitality after coming to Suiyuan and secured quite a few political achievements. Why would they move against him?"

"Tang Ye was able to pull in so many projects; he must have had connections with enterprises behind the scenes. There's no need to deify him."

"I didn't expect this. Han Guangyao is truly a master! After establishing a firm foundation in Suiyuan, he immediately killed the donkey after it finished grinding the mill, suppressing Tang Ye, this hero of political achievements..."

……

Nie Kai was currently chatting with Gao Hong in the office.

Both were cadres promoted by Xiao Jingyu; although they had conflicts, they had chosen to act in unison against outsiders during this period.

From his sitting posture, it was clear that Nie Kai was very relaxed, a smile on his lips: "Young Master Xiao is still as resourceful as ever. After such a long period of forbearance, he has finally made a move against Tang Ye."

Gao Hong sighed, "Tang Ye is a talent, but he lacks experience in struggle and chose the wrong partner! Although Han Guangyao is known as the 'Iron-Fisted Secretary,' he couldn't stay tough this time."

Nie Kai stroked his chin and said softly, "Why was Lin Heng investigated by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

A cold look appeared in Gao Hong's eyes: "This is the craftiness of Han Guangyao. On one hand, he lets Tang Ye attend the Provincial Party School Training, and on the other, he strikes at Tang Ye's Liaison Officer. That kid Lin Heng is also a traitor. I trusted him so much back then, thinking he would fulfill my tasks well; I didn't expect him to have defected long ago. Now, I'm afraid he's regretting it so much his intestines are turning green."

Nie Kai mocked with a sarcastic tone, "If Lin Heng doesn't keep his mouth shut and spills some of Tang Ye's old secrets, that would be interesting. It is said that some time ago, Tang Ye even treated Lin Heng's girlfriend's parents to dinner. This guy is quite skilled at buying people's hearts."

Gao Hong smiled faintly, "When a crisis arrives, people subconsciously choose to protect themselves. That kid Lin Heng is a two-faced 'three-surname slave'; he will definitely not cover for Tang Ye."

……

Han Guangyao sat in his office.

Outside came the voices of the Liaison Officer and Cheng Lin.

"Secretary Cheng, please let me announce you first!"

"Don't trouble yourself, I know Secretary Han is in the office."

"Let Comrade Cheng Lin in!"

Han Guangyao frowned and ordered in a deep voice.

Cheng Lin walked in with a frosty face, and the Liaison Officer hurriedly closed the door.

Han Guangyao handed Cheng Lin a cup of tea: "Secretary Cheng, what happened? You look like you're in a bad mood."

"Secretary Han, I went to attend a research activity, and after I returned, I heard that the county adjusted Tang Ye's assigned work. Why didn't you give me a heads-up about this matter beforehand?"

Han Guangyao said patiently, "Comrade Cheng Lin, this situation was relatively urgent, and I didn't have time to coordinate with you. I recommended to the city that Tang Ye attend the Provincial Party School Department-level class; this is a good opportunity, but the training period lasts three months, and he cannot manage both, so Comrade Gao Hong suggested that Nie Kai temporarily take charge of his assigned work. We will discuss his assigned work again after Comrade Tang Ye finishes his training."

Cheng Lin said in a deep voice, "The West City Development is currently at a critical stage. If Tang Ye is not in charge of this work and someone else is put in charge, will there be problems?"

Han Guangyao sighed, "I know what you are worried about. I won't hide it from you anymore. There are many reports and complaints against Tang Ye now, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection arranged for a work group to take his Liaison Officer, Xiao Lin, away for investigation. I did this to protect him!"

Cheng Lin said in a deep voice, "We have worked with Tang Ye for some time; we should know his character, and we should also know that someone is playing dirty tricks behind his back. Secretary Han, what you did is too disheartening."

Han Guangyao said with some impatience, "Comrade Cheng Lin, I can understand your good intentions, but you would know if you read that material; it even smeared the relationship between you and Comrade Tang Ye. If I didn't do this and let the matter escalate, it would also drag you into trouble."

Cheng Lin said sternly, "These are all baseless rumors; I don't care at all. As the top leader, you didn't stand up to support Tang Ye, which has greatly diminished your image in my heart."

Han Guangyao said with displeasure, "Isn't what you just said a bit excessive?"

Cheng Lin stood up abruptly, stating her position, "I do not agree with Tang Ye going to the Provincial Party School to study, nor do I agree with the County Government adjusting Tang Ye's division of labor."

Han Guangyao slapped the table in anger, "Comrade Cheng Lin, remember your status; you are the Deputy County Party Secretary, in charge of party and mass work. As for personnel arrangements, it is not your place to point fingers!"
