Chapter 550: Yang Guoliang Bites Back!

Tang Ye and Wan Ming walked into the Interrogation Room one after the other.

Cai Xiangxiu's expression appeared restless and uneasy.

"County Magistrate Tang, County Magistrate Wan, what is the meaning of this? Didn't you say there was a new development in my husband's case? Why are you talking to me as if I'm a criminal?"

After Tang Ye sat down, he asked in a soft voice, "The case of Dong Weiqing has been largely clarified. It is eighty percent certain that it was suicide! Before he died, he liked to gamble and owed a lot of usury, so he took a desperate risk, embezzled public funds, and colluded with Chen Chu using a pine tree with an exorbitant price of 750,000, hoping to use this to cover his debt holes."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiangxiu stood up abruptly, put one hand on her hip, pointed at Tang Ye with the other, and said shrewishly, "County Magistrate Tang, my father-in-law trusted you, but I didn't expect you to act as an accomplice and speak for that beast Dong Tianbao. I understand now. The Dong Family Ancestral Hall agreed to the demolition. You reached a settlement with them, so you don't care about my husband's matter anymore. In the final analysis, you are all birds of a feather, and none of you are good people."

Tang Ye did not expect Cai Xiangxiu's reaction to be so intense.

He smiled bitterly and helplessly, "Whether I am a good person is not for you to decide. I am willing to help people resolve their worries and difficulties. However, I absolutely will not help just anyone, nor will I manage every single matter."

Cai Xiangxiu sneered, "You are too hypocritical, one way on the surface and another on the inside. I must have been blind to actually believe you could help us. I will not give up; I will petition and file a complaint against you."

Wan Ming could not watch anymore and slapped the table hard twice, "Cai Xiangxiu, we brought you here today to investigate the case, not for you to throw a tantrum. Let's lay our cards on the table. We have obtained a lot of evidence that you intentionally wanted to use the death of your husband, Dong Weiqing, to defraud more money and property."

"You are talking nonsense!"

Wan Ming threw an envelope directly in front of her.

"How do you explain these photos?"

The photos were of intimate scenes between Cai Xiangxiu and Yang Guoliang at a hotel.

"Cai Xiangxiu, the day you blocked Secretary Zhou's research motorcade, was it Yang Guoliang who gave you the route? I seriously suspect that you and Yang Guoliang committed adultery during your marriage and conspired to murder Dong Weiqing."

Cai Xiangxiu's face turned deathly pale, and she froze in place.

Her relationship with Yang Guoliang was very secretive; how could it have been discovered?

Tang Ye pressed on step by step, "You had an improper relationship with Yang Guoliang before you were married. Many murder cases are crimes of passion. If it is not confirmed to be suicide, another possibility is that you and Yang Guoliang colluded and conspired to murder Dong Weiqing."

Cai Xiangxiu's psychological resilience was not high, and with her secret exposed, she was panicked inside.

Now that she was being accused of murder, she could no longer control herself.

"I didn't kill anyone. Dong Weiqing was a degenerate gambler. My marriage was unhappy, but I really didn't kill anyone."

"Give an honest account: a while ago, an extra 100,000 yuan appeared on your bank card. What is that about?"

"That money was given to me by Yang Guoliang!"

Tang Ye and Wan Ming exchanged a look.

Cai Xiangxiu's psychological defense had collapsed.

……

The Dong Family Ancestral Hall was demolished!

Yan Qiang was under investigation!

Yang Guoliang's left eye twitched, and he felt restless.

The phone rang.

Yang Guoliang recognized it as the phone number for Tang Ye's office. He adjusted his mindset, answered, and said in a calm tone, "County Magistrate Tang, hello! Do you have any instructions?"

Tang Ye's tone was very flat, "Please come to my office; there are some matters that need to be discussed with you in person."

Yang Guoliang said helplessly, "Alright, I will be there shortly."

Tang Ye was now in charge of finance and was Yang Guoliang's direct superior.

Although Yang Guoliang was unconvinced in his heart, he had to obey Tang Ye's command on the surface.

More than ten minutes later.

Yang Guoliang knocked open the office door.

After he entered, his gaze landed on a person on the sofa; it was actually the Deputy Director of the Finance Bureau, Ge Yongjie.

Ge Yongjie was more than ten years younger than him, and he was usually very polite when interacting with Yang Guoliang.

Yang Guoliang had handed over many key tasks of the Finance Bureau to Ge Yongjie to be responsible for, under the pretext of wanting to cultivate and promote this young man, but in fact, Ge Yongjie had always been a tool in Yang Guoliang's eyes.

"Yongjie, you are here too!" Yang Guoliang smiled and nodded toward Ge Yongjie.

Ge Yongjie glanced at Yang Guoliang and did not speak.

His cold attitude made Yang Guoliang alert.

Yang Guoliang sat on the sofa on his own. Seeing his very casual manner, Tang Ye sneered inwardly.

"I called you here to understand a few accounts from the Finance Hotel. These accounts all have your signature."

Yang Guoliang glanced at Ge Yongjie and suddenly understood that the issues Tang Ye had brought up at the meeting a while ago regarding the Finance Hotel had all been secretly collected by Ge Yongjie.

He had always thought Ge Yongjie was quite honest, but he didn't expect him to backstab him. This made Yang Guoliang burn with rage.

"County Magistrate Tang, this is not my handwriting; someone is intentionally framing me." Yang Guoliang refused to admit it at all.

Ge Yongjie frowned and said, "Director Yang, there are a few accounts that you ordered me to sign in front of several people! Your memory is too poor!"

Yang Guoliang looked at Ge Yongjie in surprise, "Don't you go around slandering people. County Magistrate Tang, Ge Yongjie is intentionally framing me; you cannot be misled by him! I also have evidence of Ge Yongjie's disciplinary violations here. Five years ago, one of his relatives came to Hanzhou for a visit and stayed at the Finance Hotel for a month without paying any fees."

He didn't expect Yang Guoliang to strike back and bite him in return……

Ge Yongjie was trembling with anger.

"I paid the money at the time, but you told the finance department to issue the money to my salary card in the form of wages."

Yang Guoliang frowned and said displeasedly, "It was clearly you who greeted the Manager of the Finance Hotel. Ge Yongjie, you cannot be without a conscience!"

Tang Ye knew that Yang Guoliang was good at being unreasonable and creating confusion.

At this moment, he was trying to confuse right and wrong and drag Ge Yongjie into the water.

"Ge Yongjie's issues can be set aside for now. Today, besides the unclear accounts of the Finance Hotel, I also want to talk to you about the death of Dong Weiqing! What is your relationship with Dong Weiqing's wife, Cai Xiangxiu?"

Yang Guoliang looked blank, "I don't know her!"

Seeing Yang Guoliang flatly deny it, Tang Ye's tone became increasingly grave.

"But she indicated that she is very familiar with you. Previously, when Secretary Zhou came to Suiyuan for research, she and her family blocked the road to cry out for justice. The research route was provided by you, and you even told her that blocking the road there was the most appropriate. The extra 100,000 on her bank card was also given to her by you!"

Yang Guoliang felt cold sweat break out on his back and flatly denied it, "Is this woman crazy? Why is she biting people indiscriminately?"

Tang Ye narrowed his eyes and said, "Cai Xiangxiu has already confessed your entire relationship. You knew full well that Dong Weiqing committed suicide, yet you incited her to constantly harass the Dong Family and demand explanations from law enforcement, all to muddy the waters and create chaos in an attempt to reap the benefits for yourself. Unfortunately, you overestimated Cai Xiangxiu. She couldn't withstand the interrogation and has already confessed everything!"

Yang Guoliang stood up abruptly.

"Tang Ye, I know you don't like me, but is there any need to frame me at all costs?

I have been an official for over twenty years, working diligently and uncomplainingly, with extremely strong principles.

You are retaliating against me!

I am going to report you to the higher authorities!"
