Chapter 549: The Jianghu is About Human Relationships and Worldly Wisdom!

Yan Qiang's legs felt as if they were filled with lead as he walked back to his office.

After hesitating for a long time, he dialed Yang Guoliang's number.

Yang Guoliang was in a foul mood at this moment, because the matter of the Dong Family deciding to demolish their ancestral hall had already reached his ears.

In truth, Yang Guoliang did not care at all about how the Old City Project was progressing.

The key was that the conflict between Tang Ye and the Dong Family seemed to have eased, which left Yang Guoliang quite depressed.

He had originally wanted to see two tigers fight, with one inevitably getting hurt, to achieve his goal of using someone else's blade to kill!

He had not expected Tang Ye to resolve it just like that.

As for the Dong Family, they were truly disappointing.

They claimed to be a prominent family in Suiyuan, yet they had no fighting strength at all.

They were cleaned up by Tang Ye in just a few moves!

"Director Yang, you have to help me!" Yan Qiang's tone made Yang Guoliang's mood turn extremely terrible.

"Old Yan, I heard there has been progress on the Dong Family Ancestral Hall demolition project; isn't that a good thing for you?" Yang Guoliang deliberately pretended not to understand.

"I followed your arrangements, but the matter of having the demolition crew forcibly tear down the Dong Family Ancestral Hall seems to have been exposed. Now the county leaders are putting pressure on Sha Ping. Sha Ping just forced me to go and surrender to the organization," Yan Qiang said in a deep voice.

"Old Yan, you must withstand the pressure on this matter. As the Director of the Demolition Office, you must shoulder the pressure from all sides. Sometimes, one must take special measures to get things done. In order to calm the situation and give the Dong Family an explanation, the organization will at most give you a disciplinary action; there is no need to be so anxious," Yang Guoliang hurriedly reassured him.

"The demolition matter involving my wife's family has also been investigated," Yan Qiang said in a deep voice. "According to Sha Ping's intention, he wants me to surrender voluntarily and spit out the demolition funds. I only received a portion of this money, and a lot of it was given to you as a tribute at the time."

Yang Guoliang said in a deep voice: "Old Yan, speak with a conscience. Back then, to help you forge various documents, I asked many people for favors. That money was all spent; I didn't take a single cent. If you bring up old matters with me now, I won't acknowledge them."

Yan Qiang said with a mournful face: "Director Yang, I just want to ask you to help me."

Yang Guoliang sighed: "I will think of a way for you, but you must also be mentally prepared. If you withstand the pressure, we will try our best to help you. But if you cannot withstand the pressure, then you really have no hope at all."

Yan Qiang was beyond tears; at this moment, he could only pin his hopes on Yang Guoliang: "I won't talk nonsense."

This matter seemed to be becoming more and more troublesome.

Yang Guoliang thought it over repeatedly.

He dialed Gao Hong's number.

"County Magistrate Gao, I just received news that Yan Qiang, the Director of the Demolition Office in Jiulong Town, seems to have run into trouble."

Gao Hong frowned, "Didn't you just show me his documents not long ago, wanting to promote him to Deputy Town Mayor?"

Yang Guoliang sighed helplessly, "I didn't expect him to be so bold and have such long fingers."

Gao Hong said in a deep voice, "Old Yang, I have told you many times: you must maintain good relations with those below you, but you cannot be too intimate. The Demolition Office is a complex department; if you associate too closely with them, it will bring a lot of trouble. I suggest you protect yourself and do not get involved in it. Many people are now casting their eyes toward the Old City Project; it is a hot potato that is very easy to cause problems."

Yang Guoliang could see it now.

County Magistrate Gao did not want to intervene in this matter at all!

Gao Hong pondered for a long time and sighed inwardly!

Yang Guoliang had gotten himself into big trouble this time!

Old City District, Jiulong Town.

At the entrance of the Dong Family Ancestral Hall.

Tang Ye signed his name on the demolition agreement, then took a copy of the agreement from the hands of Dong Tianbao and signed his name.

The agreement was in triplicate.

Originally, Sha Ping could have signed it, but to show his importance, Tang Ye came to sign it in person.

After Tang Ye finished signing, he took the initiative to reach out his hand.

Dong Tianbao shook it; Tang Ye's palm was large and soft, but very powerful.

After the handshake was finished, Tang Ye nodded toward Sha Ping.

Sha Ping made a gesture toward an excavator not far away.

The excavator operator responded quickly; the huge mechanical arm descended from the sky and poked directly down from the roof of the ancestral hall.

The huge sound mixed with the exclamations of the onlookers.

The last nail obstructing the Old City Commercial Reform had finally been pulled out.

The surrounding crowd discussed it heatedly.

"I didn't expect it; the Dong Family Ancestral Hall was still demolished."

"The Dong Family actually agreed; aren't they afraid of cutting off the family's Feng Shui and fortune?"

"Bullshit Feng Shui and fortune! Feudal superstition, cultural dross! It was just an excuse to find a pretext to bargain with the Government and increase their leverage."

"The Dong Family previously wanted to ask the Government for a plot of eighty mu of land, but they were rejected by the Government."

"Regardless of what is said, the Jiulong Town Government still has strength."

"The Jiulong Town Government has zero strength! It is said that the Suiyuan County Government intervened. The Dong Family had over a dozen shops and entertainment venues sealed; if it weren't for such a hardline stance, how could the Dong Family have conceded so easily?"

"It is said that Yan Qiang from the Demolition Office has been arrested!"

"Baldy Yan is usually extremely arrogant in his work, relying on demolition to enrich himself while making the villagers suffer. It is truly gratifying to see the big tumor arrested!"

Dong Tianbao's mood was somewhat heavy; although the agreement was signed, the shops and entertainment venues associated with his family could not be opened for a while.

"Boss Dong, the demolition of the Old City has ended. Next, we will be connecting with many investors. As far as I know, you have a development company and a construction team under your name; I can help introduce you when the time comes."

Tang Ye appeared very magnanimous.

Although he had a conflict with Dong Tianbao, it was only because their positions were different.

Now that the matter had been resolved, there was no need to make the relationship too stiff.

The Jianghu is not just about fighting and killing.

The Jianghu is also about human relationships and worldly wisdom!

Seeing Tang Ye take the initiative to show goodwill, Dong Tianbao smiled faintly, "Thank you, County Magistrate Tang!"

Tang Ye said sincerely, "We can consider this a case of not knowing each other without fighting; there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Dong Tianbao laughed, "I will still have to rely on your care. By the way, I have a lead here that I believe you will definitely be interested in."

Tang Ye looked at Dong Tianbao in surprise.

Dong Tianbao took an envelope out of his briefcase and handed it to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye discovered that the envelope contained photographs, and after looking at them, his eyes lit up, "Boss Dong, the lead you provided can play a key role in the case of Dong Weiqing; I must thank you."

A cold look flashed in Dong Tianbao's eyes, "No need for thanks! I am essentially proving my own innocence. Otherwise, many people think that I was the one who caused Dong Weiqing's death. I hate being wrongly accused the most."

After parting ways with Dong Tianbao, Tang Ye dialed Wan Ming's phone number.

"Just now, Dong Tianbao gave me a few photos. Dong Weiqing's wife, Cai Xiangxiu, once said that Dong Tianbao attempted to assault her, which made Dong Tianbao very angry, so he secretly investigated Cai Xiangxiu's chaotic private life, and there are some suspicious things."

Wan Ming said, "I recently investigated Cai's bank account, and there is a deposit of a not-insignificant amount of funds."

Tang Ye said in a deep voice, "The photos Dong Tianbao gave me are enough to prove she has problems; arrest her immediately!"
