Chapter 519: Nie Kai is Finally Finished!

The next morning, Tang Ye arrived at the Municipal Party Secretary's office.

Zhou Chengwu gestured for Tang Ye to sit, a faint smile on his face: "You disappeared for these seven days, making quite a few people anxious; even Elder Hong sought me out several times. I didn't reveal any news to him, so I'll be criticized by him later!"

Tang Ye responded with a smile: "I already spoke with Elder Hong on the phone last night and explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly."

Zhou Chengwu's smile faded: "Just how serious are the problems with Xiao Zi'an?"

Tang Ye naturally understood Zhou Chengwu's concerns.

Xiao Zi'an was the son of Xiao Jingyu; once Xiao Zi'an was in trouble, Xiao Jingyu would inevitably be implicated.

"After Feng Kun resigned, he entered Xiao Zi'an's company. After spending over half a year investigating, he discovered that Xiao Zi'an had used Xiao Jingyu's status as Mayor to pave the way for the company to contract municipal projects. Furthermore, Xiao Zi'an also acted as a protective umbrella for Xu Zongchao, secretly directing Feng Lin to commit numerous disciplinary and legal violations. The assassination of Li Yongbo from the County Garden Bureau also has an inseparable connection to Xiao Zi'an. Xiao Jingyu provided protection for his son and committed many heinous acts."

Zhou Chengwu took a deep breath: "I never expected this."

Zhou Chengwu realized that this case was going to implicate Xiao Jingyu.

Xiao Jingyu had gone to the provincial level, yet he still indulged his son in reaching his hands into Hanzhou; it was truly detestable!

Tang Ye took out several documents and handed them to Zhou Chengwu: "This is evidence of Xiao Jingyu, during his time as County Party Secretary in Suiyuan, violating regulations to designate projects to unqualified companies. The preliminary estimate of the amount involved will exceed 500 million."

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Chengwu's eyes: "I will hand these materials over to the comrades at the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Tang Ye understood the gravity of this matter.

As a former Mayor of Hanzhou and a Department-level Cadre, once an investigation into Xiao Jingyu was launched, it would inevitably trigger public opinion.

However, he could feel Zhou Chengwu's determination.

Subsequently, Tang Ye also reported on the two cases regarding Xu Zongchao's involvement in organized crime and Sheng Hongbing's trafficking of cultural relics.

This could be considered an unexpected harvest!

"We rescued over twenty young girls from a den secretly operated by Xu Zongchao. These girls had their freedom controlled and were forced to engage in gray industries.

Additionally, many stolen cultural relics were found at Sheng Hongbing's residence, including many burial items from before the Tang Dynasty; we have already notified people from the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau to conduct an appraisal.

Comrade Wan Ming played a key role in this case."

In front of the Municipal Party Secretary, Tang Ye still had to give Wan Ming some credit!

"Well done! I will have the Municipal Party Committee Inspection Office establish a Special Case Investigation Team to continue pushing forward. No matter who is involved, we cannot let them off."

Zhou Chengwu nodded with satisfaction, giving high recognition.

……

Leaving the Municipal Committee Compound.

Tang Ye met up with Han Guangyao.

They went together to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to pick up Han Haoyang and take him home.

Letting Han Haoyang endure a night in the Public Security Bureau's detention cell was Han Guangyao's intention.

He wanted his son to remember this unforgettable lesson!

Pushing open the door to the Interrogation Room.

Han Guangyao and Tang Ye walked into the room.

When Han Haoyang saw it was Tang Ye and Han Guangyao, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Han Guangyao walked up furiously and raised his hand to slap Han Haoyang hard across the face.

Han Haoyang dared not make a sound, lowering his head to avoid Han Guangyao's gaze.

Han Guangyao scolded angrily: "Han Haoyang! I have taught you to walk the straight path since you were small; look at yourself, you nearly committed a grave mistake!"

Han Haoyang defended himself with grievance: "Dad, I just wanted to prove myself, is that wrong?"

Han Haoyang did not seem to have repented.

Han Guangyao raised his hand again, intending to strike.

Tang Ye hurriedly stopped him.

"Secretary Han, he already knows he was wrong. Xiao Zi'an set a trap for him; if it were anyone else, it would have been hard to escape unscathed."

Han Guangyao's lingering anger had not yet dissipated: "For your sake, I will spare him today."

Tang Ye turned to Han Haoyang: "Haoyang, this experience is a lesson. In the future, be down-to-earth and don't be swayed by temptation again."

Having said that, he sighed lightly, "This is a letter your female classmate entrusted me to bring to you."

Han Haoyang took the letter from Tang Ye's hand in surprise.

It read:

"Han Haoyang:

I'm sorry, I did the wrong thing in this matter, and I have paid the price I deserved.

However, if I were given another chance to choose, perhaps I would still walk the same path.

That's right, I am vain, and I was never worthy of you in the first place.

May you find your original self; only then will you meet someone worth liking.

Yu Linlin."

After reading the letter, Han Haoyang could no longer hold back and shed tears of remorse.

Compared to enduring a night in the detention cell, Yu Linlin's letter had more lethality and educational significance for him!

……

Sending Han Haoyang home.

Han Guangyao and Tang Ye sat in the car together, returning to Suiyuan County.

Although a major matter had been resolved, Han Guangyao's mood was somewhat heavy.

"This time, thanks to your keenness, knowing a step ahead that Xiao Zi'an was bewitching Han Haoyang; otherwise, I might have been dragged into the water by Xiao Zi'an."

"Secretary Han, you have firm Party spirit; your choices have always been correct."

Han Guangyao shook his head and sighed, "I had high hopes for Han Haoyang; if he had been implicated in this matter, his life would have been completely ruined. Also, this Chen Chu, he actually introduced Han Haoyang to Xiao Zi'an. I trusted him so much, yet he actually did such a thing; it is disappointing."

Tang Ye changed the subject, "Secretary Han, after looking into it with Old Feng, I found that Chen Chu is very close to Xiao Zi'an, and his reach is very long."

Han Guangyao was slightly startled, then anger appeared in his eyes, "It was my misjudgment. I didn't expect Chen Chu to disguise himself so well; the moment he gained a little power, he couldn't wait to bare his fangs and become a blood-sucking tumor. This kind of person is too detestable, too hateful!"

From Han Guangyao's tone, Tang Ye could tell he must have already seen the illegal materials regarding Chen Chu's unauthorized approval of the purchase of sky-high priced pine trees; he felt relieved in his heart. This Chen Chu was blindly arrogant and looked down on everything; it was entirely his own doing.

……

Nie Kai sat in his office, feeling not only low-spirited but also panicked and uneasy.

He knew clearly that Xiao Zi'an had been captured yesterday, and Chen Chu of the County Garden Bureau had also been taken away by the County Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation.

Furthermore, rumors were spreading: Tang Ye had not been taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation, but was instead cooperating in a special operation.

This operation was highly likely aimed at Xiao Zi'an.

At this moment, he still held onto a glimmer of hope: if only Xiao Zi'an wouldn't implicate him, or if those reports were all false.

Suddenly, a commotion came from outside. Nie Kai walked to the window and looked down, only to see Han Guangyao and Tang Ye getting out of a car side-by-side, exchanging pleasantries with Cheng Lin, Wu Yang, and others.

Seeing the smile on Cheng Lin's face, Nie Kai's heart sank to the bottom.

Tang Ye was safe and sound!

This meant the news spreading outside was true.

Xiao Zi'an had fallen into a trap and been caught!

Nie Kai sat back in his chair, looking dejected.

Not knowing how much time had passed, the office door was pushed open.

"Deputy County Magistrate Nie, we just received a notice; please go attend the meeting."

"Understood," Nie Kai replied calmly.

Before leaving, he took a medicine bottle from his drawer, popped two pills into his mouth, forced himself to perk up, and walked toward the conference room.

The Standing Committee Members of the County Party Committee had basically all arrived, and Han Guangyao and Tang Ye were the last to step into the conference room.

The moment Tang Ye sat down, he immediately attracted the gazes of many Standing Committee Members.

Quite a few people had not known the situation before and thought he had been "double-regulated" by the Discipline Inspection Commission.

"How did Tang Ye come back?"

"I heard he was cooperating with the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to execute a special mission."

"Why would the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection's mission require him to participate? It doesn't make logical sense."

Han Guangyao cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Today's meeting, the first agenda item is the serious disciplinary and legal violations of Chen Chu from the County Garden Bureau. The quoted price for a single landscape pine tree planted in the park reached seven hundred thousand; this matter triggered widespread controversy after fermenting online. I ask the comrades of the Discipline Inspection Commission to investigate seriously; no matter who is implicated, it must be investigated to the end and strictly held accountable."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone began to discuss it heatedly:

"Old Han is truly ruthless; Chen Chu was his confidant, yet he took him down just like that."

"Someone previously questioned Secretary Han for double standards, striking hard against those not in his own camp while shielding and indulging those he was familiar with; this can be considered proving his own innocence."

Nie Kai's heart tightened; he hadn't expected Han Guangyao to be so merciless even to his own people.

Suddenly!

The door to the conference room was pushed open, and several people in suits walked straight toward him.

"Comrade Nie Kai, we are the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection investigation team; please come with us."

The look in Nie Kai's eyes shifted from surprise to struggle, and finally turned into helplessness.

He stood up tremblingly, was held by two Discipline Inspection Commission staff members, and with a bloodless face, was forced to leave the conference room.

"Who could have imagined! Tang Ye being taken away a few days ago was a feint; the real target of the Discipline Inspection Commission was Nie Kai!"

"That medicine-guzzler Nie Kai, after doing so many bad things, is finally finished!"

"With Executive Deputy County Magistrate Nie Kai under investigation, a position has opened up in the County Party Committee leadership team; Tang Ye might replace Nie Kai and be directly promoted to Executive!"

"Although Tang Ye was already a Standing Committee Member of the County Party Committee, he was the junior-most; the Executive Deputy County Magistrate is the fourth or fifth in rank. It really isn't simple for Tang Ye to take that position!"

"With Nie Kai caught, will it implicate more officials?"
