Chapter 584: Tang Ye is Quite Annoyed!

The most vicious, despicable, and contemptible thing in the world is to wield a butcher's knife against a group weaker than oneself.

Xiaoguo Village had long been in a state of poverty; having finally secured the planting base project and an opportunity to build wealth, no one expected that someone would want to sabotage this excellent trend.

Tang Ye dialed Guo Shulin's number.

"Branch Secretary Guo, I'm giving you some feedback: I have already sent people down to investigate the issue you complained about regarding the misappropriation of funds for the Xiaoguo Village cemetery land requisition."

"County Magistrate Tang, I thank you. But I do not wish to pursue this matter any further."

Guo Shulin's tone was somewhat dispirited.

Tang Ye knew why Guo Shulin was like this, as the plantation had suffered a major blow. He comforted him: "I have learned about the situation from Wan Ming and know that the plantation was sabotaged by a group of people. Please rest assured, I will investigate this matter to the end."

Guo Shulin gave a bitter laugh: "I didn't expect these people to be so wicked; the total value of those saplings must be several hundred thousand. It is our opportunity that General Manager Gu is willing to come to our Xiaoguo Village to invest. Even if we cannot help, we must not cause trouble for her!"

As the saying goes, poor mountains and treacherous waters produce unruly people.

But there is another old saying: righteousness is often found among those who butcher dogs.

Although Guo Shulin had not read many books, he was very clear-headed about how to conduct himself.

Tang Ye was silent for a moment, then said in a serious tone: "I will communicate well with General Manager Gu, understand the extent of the losses, and do everything possible to compensate her. One thing is one thing, another is another; you must not have a psychological burden, feeling that your reporting of the stolen cemetery demolition funds was the cause of the whole incident. On the contrary, your actions were correct; exposing it early can allow the Government to avoid further losses."

Guo Shulin sighed and said: "I didn't think that much. I have lived my life with a clean record, only wanting to secure more paths for the villagers. I haven't read many books, but I can still distinguish between right and wrong. Although the money for the cemetery is not a small amount, compared to the investment in the plantation, it is not that important!"

Tang Ye thought to himself that the more reasonable Guo Shulin was, the more he had to provide him with a reasonable explanation.

"Branch Secretary Guo, rest assured, I will get to the bottom of both these matters."

After hanging up on Guo Shulin, Tang Ye stood up and calmed his mood.

He had not expected that these people would not only stretch their demonic claws toward profits but also involve underworld forces; the nature of the situation was completely different.

Tang Ye returned to his seat and dialed Gu Jing.

"General Manager Gu, I just received news; I heard the plantation was sabotaged?"

Gu Jing had been driven to distraction by this matter; this batch of newly planted saplings was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the key was that after being destroyed, it would affect a series of subsequent plans.

"Yes, I feel quite upset. I didn't expect that doing some practical work would be so difficult," Gu Jing said with a bitter smile.

Tang Ye said: "I will find the person behind the scenes for this matter and provide you with corresponding compensation. I hope you will not lose confidence because of this."

Gu Jing laughed in spite of herself: "Don't worry, I have signed contracts with the Government for so many years; it is impossible for me to negate this project because of a small interlude. After learning about this, Branch Secretary Guo of Xiaoguo Village has been gathering villagers to voluntarily help us recover losses and strengthen patrols. The support of the villagers makes me feel very warm and full of hope for the future. This small setback is not enough to make me retreat."

Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "With those words from you, I can rest easy."

Gu Jing knew Tang Ye's positioning for Xiaoguo Village.

He hoped to use the plantation project as a seed, with Xiaoguo Village as the core, to cover other villages.

It takes ten years to grow trees, and a hundred years to cultivate people.

Others felt that Tang Ye was crazily pursuing political achievements and would adopt tough, radical strategies to push some projects.

But, from the Xiaoguo Village plantation project, Gu Jing could understand Tang Ye's painstaking efforts.

He wanted to use ten years to build an eye-catching industrial chain that would lead to wealth through afforestation.

Gu Jing was determined to persist in participating in this long-term plan.

After finishing the call, Tang Ye felt full of energy again.

The resilience and trust of Guo Shulin and Gu Jing swept away Tang Ye's previously depressed mood.

As his position grew higher and the problems he encountered became more complex, Tang Ye would sometimes feel exhausted, but because he had a group of like-minded people around him, and even more so a group of firm supporters, Tang Ye was able to adjust his mindset quickly.

The destruction of the Xiaoguo Village plantation, unsurprisingly, was definitely related to Guo Shulin's complaint about the misappropriation of cemetery requisition funds.

Zhang Jinan had already absconded with the money, and many people had pinned the blame on Zhang Jinan, so Zhang Jinan had become a key figure.

As for the person behind the scenes, it was definitely related to the Civil Affairs system.

Yin Xidong had once said he would order Wang Guopeng to come and explain the situation to him.

However, Tang Ye did not wait for Wang Guopeng to arrive.

In his view, Wang Guopeng was either feeling guilty or did not hold him in high regard.

He was not the Deputy County Magistrate in charge of the Civil Affairs Bureau, so if Wang Guopeng did not come to find him, it would be inappropriate for him to take the initiative to call and question him.

This matter made Tang Ye quite annoyed!

……

Wan Ming returned to the County Public Security Bureau and convened a meeting for the staff.

Wan Ming did not like meetings very much; once a meeting started, he would lecture people.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the conference room was very tense; it is no exaggeration to say that the sound of a needle falling could be clearly heard.

Sure enough, Wan Ming lectured them one by one first.

The Public Security system was just like this!

One person refuses to submit to another; if you do not act tough, others will instead treat you like a grandson.

After Wan Ming's lecture, he moved on to the main topic and said in a deep voice: "Having just finished attending the County Government meeting, there are a few matters that need to be handled with priority. First, regarding Zhang Jinan, there is a new lead; later, please have Political Commissar Cui coordinate with the County Commission for Discipline Inspection and arrange a few capable officers to launch a pursuit operation."

Upon hearing this, Cui Yong's eyes revealed a grave expression: "Understood, I will coordinate with the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission immediately after the meeting."

Wan Ming continued: "Second, regarding the issue of the Xiaoguo Village plantation being sabotaged, the outside world is highly concerned. This not only involves major losses for the investor but also damages the business environment of Suiyuan. We must not only severely punish the personnel involved in the case but also investigate further to see if there is anyone behind it giving orders. Only by dragging out the black hand behind the scenes can we serve as a deterrent and avoid similar problems from appearing again."

Cui Yong nodded slightly.

Wan Ming continued with a solemn face: "Third, starting from tomorrow, all entertainment venues in the county will resume business. However, we must do a good job of regular inspections, and at the same time, pay attention to work discipline; it is not allowed for relevant personnel to get too close to entertainment venues. Once any disciplinary or rule-breaking issues appear, they will definitely be pursued to the end."

Cui Yong felt Wan Ming's boldness in handling affairs.

Although Wan Ming usually looked careless.

But in fact, he was meticulous, had methods for handling problems, and also adhered to principles.

More importantly, Wan Ming had repeatedly solved strange cases over the past few years, becoming a legendary figure in the Hanzhou police world.

Unsurprisingly, Wan Ming would go further than him in the future.
