Chapter 514: Strike the Snake at its Seven-Inch Mark!

It was the third day since Tang Ye lost contact.

Suiyuan County Committee Compound.

The news had completely fermented.

"Tang Ye hasn't shown his face for three days; if nothing unexpected happens, he's likely finished this time."

"Tang Ye is a rare young cadre. After he came to our Suiyuan County, he brought so many changes, especially the Suiyuan Industrial Park, which was completely brought back to life by him."

"Cadres from other places who come to Suiyuan are bound to have problems within a year. Tang Ye hasn't escaped this 'law'!"

"Isn't it said that Tang Ye has a deep background? Why hasn't anyone come out to protect him?"

"It's rumored that he was involved in a massive bribery case during the investment promotion for the Industrial Park. People are scrambling to draw a line between themselves and him now!"

Because of Tang Ye's disappearance, Wan Ming had been very anxious these past few days.

A strange number called in.

"Old Wan! It's me, Tang Ye!"

Wan Ming felt a wave of surprise in his heart, followed immediately by wild joy, "Where are you?"

"Old Wan, don't get excited, listen to me! I need you to cooperate with me to carry out a special mission now, and the process must be kept confidential."

"Alright, tell me about it."

"Take some people you trust and bring a businessman named Sheng Hongbing under control. This person has a close relationship with Xu Zongchao."

Wan Ming immediately caught the scent of a major case, "I'll go gather the men right now. What kind of background does this guy have?"

"On the surface, Sheng Hongbing is an antique dealer, but in fact, he started out grave robbing and trafficking cultural relics. A few years ago, he paid to publish a book to package himself as a legitimate businessman and antique Expert, but privately he still engages in evil deeds and keeps a group of ruthless people who live by the blade around him. You must be careful."

Wan Ming said with a smile, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission. How are you? I was truly worried sick when you had an accident these past few days."

Tang Ye could feel Wan Ming's sincerity, "I didn't have an accident, I just can't show my face for a short time."

He hung up the phone with Wan Ming.

A look of relief appeared in Tang Ye's eyes.

After meeting with Cao Jin, he found a way to lure Xu Zongchao into a trap.

The suggestion Cao Jin gave was that they could go through the line of Sheng Hongbing.

Tang Ye had an impression of Sheng Hongbing.

Previously, when investigating the case of malicious encroachment and forced eviction of enterprises in the Suiyuan Industrial Park, Cao Jin and Sheng Hongbing were often together eating, drinking, and having fun.

That dog Cao Jin, after sitting in jail for half a year, hasn't changed a bit!

Once again, for personal gain, he betrayed his own accomplices.

This time!

I must strike the snake at its seven-inch mark!

Wan Ming put down the phone and fiercely waved his fists twice.

"I knew Tang Ye would be fine; it turns out he was laying out a plan. This kid is really capable of big things, keeping us all in the dark."

Including Wan Ming, many people did not expect that after Tang Ye lost contact, it would have such a great impact in Suiyuan.

Especially the Industrial Park and investment promotion that Tang Ye was in charge of, which all seemed to have been affected.

Guohao Group.

A knock on the office door sounded.

An Xin called out, "Please come in."

Xian Xingyun walked in and said expressionlessly, "There is important intelligence. The Suiyuan Deputy County Magistrate Tang Ye, who was previously our point of contact, has been taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation."

An Xin frowned, a look of surprise appearing in her eyes: "Do you know the reason?"

Xian Xingyun sighed and said: "The outside world is all saying that Tang Ye is suspected of serious disciplinary violations. He was the one who had been coordinating this project with us; is there still a need to continue pushing it forward?"

An Xin said thoughtfully: "Let me think about it, I will give you an answer as soon as possible!"

Xian Xingyun left the office, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.

An Xin must be very regretful now.

She had misjudged him!

An Xin had known about Tang Ye; he was a very upright cadre with potential, how could he encounter this kind of problem?

She pondered for a long time, then dialed Han Guangyao's phone number and identified herself, "Secretary Han, this is An Xin from Guohao Group."

Han Guangyao sighed inwardly, "President An, I know why you have come. No matter what problems have occurred within the Suiyuan Government, I can promise you that it will absolutely not affect Guohao Group's investment in Suiyuan."

An Xin heard the subtext in Han Guangyao's words.

Even if Tang Ye were truly found to have problems, the investment policies promised to Guohao Group would not change.

An Xin said in a grave tone, "Secretary Han, the reason I chose to invest in Suiyuan was not for the policies, because there are many local governments across the country that offer better policies than Suiyuan. Tang Ye and I have known each other for many years; we are not only partners but also very good friends. I trust his character very much and he would absolutely not engage in illegal behavior. If Tang Ye has problems, my investment plan for Suiyuan will also have to change."

Han Guangyao did not expect An Xin to stand up for Tang Ye directly and put pressure on him.

"President An, please wait patiently, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Hanging up the phone with An Xin, Han Guangyao rubbed his temples.

One must admit Tang Ye's personal charisma.

An Xin actually used the cancellation of the project as a bargaining chip to show support, which made Han Guangyao realize that this bid-winning project was not something Tang Ye had stumbled upon by luck like a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

Han Guangyao had originally thought that the arrangement for Tang Ye would not cause too much of a shock.

He did not expect that both internally and externally, they were exerting huge pressure on him.

This mood is a bit like the time before and after a breakup!

Before the breakup, both sides find each other annoying.

Only when you lose a person do you realize how important that person is to you!

……

Overseas.

Xu Zongchao was lying on the lap of a blonde woman when he received a call from Sheng Hongbing.

He did not know!

A thousand miles away, Sheng Hongbing and all his subordinates had been apprehended.

At this moment, a cold gun barrel was pressed against Sheng Hongbing's head.

Although he knew Wan Ming would not pull the trigger lightly, Sheng Hongbing knew he could not say a single wrong word at this moment.

"President Xu, will you be attending this year's auction?"

"Why? Are there any good items?" Xu Zongchao was quite obsessed with antiques.

Sheng Hongbing tried his best to squeeze out a smile, "A new pit has just been unearthed in Shaan Province, and the seller will be attending the auction. According to the news, there is a Black Pottery Figurine you have been keeping an eye on."

Hearing that a Black Pottery Figurine had surfaced, Xu Zongchao's eyes lit up, but his tone still revealed hesitation.

"I am a wanted man in the country; I am afraid I will run into trouble if I return."

Sheng Hongbing laughed in spite of himself, "You have vast supernatural powers; isn't it simple if you want to return to the country?"

Xu Zongchao was thoughtful, "Wait for me to consider it, then I will give you an answer."

Xu Zongchao then dialed Xiao Zi'an's number.

"How is the situation in Hanzhou recently?"

Xiao Zi'an laughed triumphantly: "Tang Ye has been investigated by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and there is still no news yet. Han Guangyao has already become my puppet; I tell him to go east, and he dares not head west."

Xu Zongchao remained calm: "What is the result of the handling of Tang Ye?"

Xiao Zi'an said: "It is not clear yet. He has been helping Haihua Group and Guohao Group fight for projects. As long as they investigate him, there must be economic problems. Besides, if the problems were not serious, they would not have investigated for so long."

Xu Zongchao agreed: "There is no cat that doesn't steal fish; without benefits, how could he possibly do his utmost to help these enterprises?"

Xiao Zi'an laughed: "Next, Hanzhou will gradually return to its original situation. President Xu, are you considering coming back to invest?"

Xu Zongchao laughed heartily: "Since Young Master Xiao is taking me to make money, of course I am willing! I have been abroad for so long, it is time to come back and take a look."

Xiao Zi'an said in surprise: "You are currently a wanted man; isn't it a bit too risky to come back?"

Xu Zongchao smiled: "In one's life, one must always try to do some exciting things!"
