Chapter 593: Wang Guopeng Exposed and on the Run!

"What is the relationship between Wang Guopeng and Chen Fei?" Tang Ye asked softly.

"Chen Fei is the cousin of one of Wang Guopeng's mistresses. Chen Fei used to be a street thug. When Wang Guopeng wanted to make money from the cemetery project, he opened a Lingyuan Company in his name.

By utilizing the cemetery land requisition and demolition project, Wang Guopeng made a lot of money. Chen Fei is Wang Guopeng's white glove; in situations where it is inconvenient for Wang Guopeng to show his face, Chen Fei will step in to resolve things," Qiao Jing explained.

"Five years ago, a vicious case occurred in Gaojiazhuang. Was it instigated by Chen Fei?" Tang Ye pressed.

Qiao Jing did not hesitate in the slightest and nodded slightly. "Gaojiazhuang is quite special. At that time, the work of relocating ancestral graves was at a standstill, and the higher-ups were watching closely. To achieve results, Wang Guopeng instructed Chen Fei to take men to beat and maim the leading households, resulting in two people being seriously injured and dying. Wang Guopeng used his connections to cover it up."

The policewoman responsible for taking the statement showed a look of shock upon hearing this.

Although the material Tang Ye received was written very crudely and the evidence was unsubstantiated, this particular past event was described in great detail.

Therefore, Tang Ye guessed that the material must have been submitted by an insider of the 618 Gaojiazhuang grave relocation case.

At that time, it caused a terrible impact, and the culprit who injured the people was none other than 'Ma Biao', who was caught in Luocheng, Yu Province!

Now, all the clues have finally come together!

Who could have imagined that the Civil Affairs Department, which is most vital to the people's livelihood, would be shrouded by the underworld?

Who would dare to believe that these people, while eating the food provided by the common folk, were still racking their brains to smash the common folk's rice bowls?

Tang Ye cursed that dog Wang Xingjian again in his heart!

He used to think the Suiyuan Gang was just a factional symbol.

In reality, during the time Wang Xingjian served as County Party Secretary, those below followed the example of those above, and every aspect of Suiyuan was turned into a foul, smoky mess.

Under his misguided leadership, there were numerous problems throughout Suiyuan from top to bottom.

Now that the investigation has reached the Civil Affairs Department, it is even more chilling.

More importantly, do other departments have problems as well?

No wonder Han Guangyao encountered such great resistance when he first took office.

His persona as an iron-blooded official was merely forced by the situation.

"You mentioned earlier that Wang Guopeng betrayed national interests. What is that all about?" Tang Ye asked.

"Every once in a while, Wang Guopeng would receive a sum of US dollars, and he would have me find a way to convert the dollars into Renminbi. He once had me create a document. This document recorded the information of many deceased people. After these people died, their bodies were not immediately cremated..."

Qiao Jing's words were disjointed.

Tang Ye was full of questions!

"These bodies were not cremated; where did they go?"

"I don't know the specifics either."

"Qiao Jing, the information you provided is very important. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"County Magistrate Tang, I know you are a good person. Recently, Wang Guopeng has often viciously cursed you in private. I know he is hollow inside; he is afraid of you. So I believe you will definitely be able to catch him. For me, I have lived like a walking corpse for so many years. I know I have been an accomplice and have done many bad things. So I don't harbor any delusions of getting away unscathed."

Qiao Jing's following words made Tang Ye sigh inwardly.

Tang Ye comforted Qiao Jing, "I will report your situation to the higher authorities truthfully. It is not a bad thing that you have awakened in time. I will try my best to help you strive for leniency."

At this moment, Qiao Jing's tears could no longer be controlled, gushing from the corners of her eyes.

Tang Ye said to Qiao Jing, "Later, our comrades will take you to a safe place to rest. If you think of anything, you can write it down. They will convey the message to me."

Qiao Jing nodded gently. "County Magistrate Tang, thank you for being able to listen to me finish these stories. I have suffered from long-term insomnia and often have nightmares. Every day I am surrounded by evil ghosts. They say I am an accomplice and tell me to return the bodies to them."

Tang Ye was an atheist.

However, seeing the fearful look in Qiao Jing's eyes at this moment, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Tang Ye said to Wan Ming, "Arrange for a psychologist to provide counseling for Qiao Jing. She is also a pitiful person, having been physically and mentally devastated by Wang Guopeng for a long time. It hasn't been easy for her to hold on until now."

Wan Ming clenched his fists. "Wang Guopeng is truly a pervert. Many of the scars on Qiao Jing's body are old wounds accumulated over the years. I find it strange, doesn't Qiao Jing's husband know?"

Tang Ye was silent for a moment. "Her husband must have known. It is very likely that he acquiesced to this happening; this is the key to destroying Qiao Jing's mental world."

Wan Ming said angrily, "Her husband is truly a bastard. Why doesn't Qiao Jing divorce him?"

Tang Ye said, "In a special state, people will be forced to choose to compromise due to a hostile environment. Over time, they come to regard the perpetrator as their closest person. People like Qiao Jing who can wake up are still in the minority. Some victims, under long-term torture by the perpetrator, will even stand up to clear the perpetrator's name when the perpetrator is arrested. This is called Stockholm Syndrome, also known as hostage identification syndrome."

Wan Ming gave Tang Ye a thumbs up. "There's such a thing? Your breadth of knowledge is truly vast. However, Qiao Jing mentioned one thing just now: why didn't the funeral home cremate those bodies in time?"

Tang Ye was also pondering this matter.

Suddenly, a flash of light crossed his mind.

"I think I know why they did that."

Wan Ming widened his eyes, then asked with a smile, "You know again? Hurry up and tell me! What exactly is going on!"

The night was deep and quiet.

Wang Guopeng came to the window, looked down at the building, and observed quietly for over ten minutes.

He could be certain that there were people hiding in two cars below.

It was three o'clock in the morning, and there were still people in the cars!

Without a doubt, these people were monitoring him!

Wang Guopeng took a deep breath, a look of determination appearing in his eyes. He put on a trench coat, wore a mask, wrapped himself up tightly, and took the elevator to the basement parking lot.

Chen Fei saw Wang Guopeng and stepped out of the car.

Wang Guopeng climbed into the car and ordered, "I'm being watched, hurry up and drive!"

Chen Fei nodded slightly. "Alright!"

After Chen Fei's car drove out of the residential complex, the monitoring vehicles indeed followed them.

Chen Fei ordered the driver, "Speed up and shake off the cars behind us."

After passing through two traffic lights, a temporary roadblock suddenly appeared ahead.

"Brother Fei, what should we do? Should we ram the checkpoint?"

"Ram your sister!" Chen Fei scolded irritably. "Change the route, take the side roads."

The driver jerked the steering wheel, the car performed a drifting turn, and it dashed into a small alley on the right.

"Brother Fei, it's a dead end ahead! What should we do?"

Chen Fei took a deep breath, "What can we do? Just deal with it!"

Chen Fei knew he could not escape.

He got out of the car and raised his hands above his head.

The car behind caught up.

Plainclothes officers rushed out of the car, pointing pistols at them, "Give up the struggle, get down on your knees!"

Chen Fei put his hands on his head and obediently squatted down.

Immediately after!

A plainclothes officer kicked him to the ground, pulled out handcuffs, and cuffed him...
