Chapter 60: Designed to Break the Deadlock!

Du Xi returned home, finished her shower, and had just gotten into bed to apply a facial mask.

Liu Fang called, "Tang Ye handled things tonight, and the whole process was quite handsome."

Du Xi smiled and said, "It's not easy to get a compliment from you!"

Liu Fang said seriously, "I originally thought Hu Zhongping was outstanding, but when placed alongside Tang Ye, Tang Ye is clearly superior. However, you should prepare yourself..."

Du Xi was puzzled, "Prepare for what?"

Liu Fang analyzed rationally, "Tang Ye has his own opinions and ideas; he has high emotional intelligence and is witty and humorous. Dating him would certainly be very happy. However, if it comes to marriage and daily life, I'm afraid it will give you a headache; he belongs to the type of person who is hard to control."

Du Xi countered, "Why would one want to control the other person?"

Liu Fang was stunned for a long time, then sighed, "Fine, you hopeless romantic, you're beyond saving."

Liu Fang was also reflecting on herself.

In the process of dating, she liked to occupy the dominant position and hoped the other person could satisfy her demands. Therefore, when getting along with Sun Hai, she appeared very overbearing.

Although Sun Hai's appearance was not as good as Tang Ye's, he could cater to her in every way.

Sometimes she wondered if Du Xi's personality—independent but not overbearing—was more liked by men...

After hanging up on Liu Fang, Du Xi took out her phone and opened her photo album.

During the group dinner, they had taken a photo together.

In the photo, Tang Ye wore a smile, his eyes gentle, giving people a feeling of being extremely sunny and optimistic.

Du Xi closed her eyes, and Tang Ye's answer from that day began to swirl in her mind again.

"A police officer is not easy to pursue!"—Why must one pursue?

At 8:30 in the morning, Tang Ye went to the County Party Committee's lecture hall to attend a meeting.

The theme was that all government agencies and units needed to strengthen their studies by the end of the year and complete a Rectification Movement.

Regarding the Rectification Movement, this was how Tang Ye understood it.

The Rectification Movement, in the final analysis, is about rectifying people; one doesn't know which two immortals are fighting, but after the soup is boiled, the winner is the one who gets to drink the soup and eat the meat.

Half an hour later, Tang Ye was yawning as he listened.

For the second half, he simply stopped paying attention to the meeting content, picked up his fountain pen, and began writing rapidly in his notebook, listing and sorting out the important matters he needed to handle recently one by one.

After the meeting ended, Tang Ye went to the County Hospital, bought fruit at the fruit shop at the entrance, and then visited Guo Liang.

Guo Liang's wife, Xu Miao, was carefully wiping Guo Liang's arm.

Viewed from the side, Xu Miao and her younger sister Xu Qiao were actually ninety percent similar.

Beads of sweat seeped out on her oval face, her snow-white skin was slightly flushed, and her charming phoenix eyes were somewhat dazed from exhaustion.

Compared to Xu Qiao's pure sweetness, hers was a gorgeous and bright beauty.

Seeing Tang Ye, Guo Liang hurriedly asked Xu Miao to help him sit up.

Tang Ye looked at the thick bandages wrapped around Guo Liang's head, and he couldn't help but feel some sympathy; after all, this errand was one he had assigned to Guo Liang.

"The thermos is out of hot water. Wife, go get a pot of hot water."

"Okay!"

Xu Miao knew her husband wanted to talk to Tang Ye about something.

Something secretive.

After Xu Miao left, Tang Ye pressed on Guo Liang's forehead.

Guo Liang gasped in pain.

Tang Ye was surprised, "I didn't expect you to be so seriously injured!"

Guo Liang sighed, "The other side struck very hard! At the time, I almost thought I was going to be beaten to death."

Tang Ye gripped Guo Liang's hand tightly and said seriously, "Thank you for your hard work; the sacrifice you made for the demolition work is too great. Your name will be recorded in the book of merits."

"When I had the doctor write the medical report, I even exaggerated it slightly."

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, then praised, "Your brain is quite sharp."

Guo Liang clenched his fists, a look of anger appearing in his eyes, "The compensation for this demolition is very high. These few households are all local ruffians and scoundrels who want to take the opportunity to grab more. Besides, as you judged, there is indeed someone stirring up trouble behind it. The person who hit me is named Hu Junsheng, and he is their leader."

Tang Ye gripped his fist tightly and said with a firm gaze, "You focus on recovering, and leave the rest to me."

After Tang Ye left, Xu Miao returned to the ward carrying the thermos.

"Town Mayor Tang is quite a good person, coming specifically to visit you."

"Xu Qiao has a good leader!"

"Do you think Town Mayor Tang and Xu Qiao might..."

Guo Liang interrupted his wife, "Xu Qiao just needs to follow Town Mayor Tang and do her work well; you must not think about playing matchmaker between the two."

Xu Miao looked puzzled, "He is unmarried and she is unmarried, what is impossible about it?"

Guo Liang lowered his voice, "Town Mayor Tang has a girlfriend who is a police officer. The woman's family background is very good; it's just that the relationship hasn't been confirmed yet."

Xu Miao looked enlightened, "So that's how it is."

If Tang Ye heard this rumor, he would likely be extremely shocked.

He and Du Xi had only met twice at the Government Compound, and this had already turned into a scandal?

Guo Liang did not tell his wife the real reason he disapproved of his sister-in-law being with Tang Ye.

Tang Ye's hidden depths were too profound; if his sister-in-law were with him, she would definitely suffer.

In *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, there is a tactic called the Bitter Meat Strategy.

Guo Liang followed Tang Ye's arrangement and deliberately used words to provoke Hu Junsheng.

Hu Junsheng gave Guo Liang a brutal beating.

It appeared that Guo Liang was the victim.

However, looking at the overall situation, this was designed to break the deadlock!

……

If it weren't for Tang Ye having Guo Liang deliberately provoke Hu Junsheng into giving him a sound beating.

Tang Ye would truly feel deeply grieved seeing Guo Liang wrapped up like a rice dumpling.

Tang Ye silently gave Guo Liang's acting skills a score of ninety.

This guy's execution is truly not bad!

He has a future and is worth cultivating well!

Returning to the Pinghu Town Government, he knocked on the door of Chen Zhihua's office.

Seeing it was Tang Ye, Chen Zhihua hurriedly stood up, preparing to get tea leaves.

Tang Ye waved his hand at Chen Zhihua, "Secretary, no need to brew tea; I'm here to say a few words to you, and I'll leave once I'm done."

Chen Zhihua walked in front of Tang Ye, "What is it?"

Tang Ye's expression was serious, "I just went to visit Guo Liang. He is seriously injured; his head was smashed open, he lost a lot of blood, and he not only has a concussion but also severe sequelae. The doctor even said that if he doesn't recover well, he might not be able to have a sex life in the future."

Chen Zhihua was dumbfounded, feeling a chill between his legs and constantly gasping in cold air, "It's that serious?"

Tang Ye waved his fist, "The situation is so dire, I suggest we arrest the perpetrator."

Chen Zhihua smiled bitterly and helplessly, "The one who did the beating is Chen Junsheng from the demolition village. If we arrest him, it will definitely have a negative impact."

Tang Ye said in a deep voice, "A loud drum must be struck with a heavy hammer. If we don't use thunderous means for the demolition work, it will be hard to continue pushing forward. Besides, this time Hu Junsheng is in the wrong for injuring someone."

Regarding demolition, Tang Ye would firmly stand in the position of the relocatees to consider the issues.

The relocatees face the expropriation of their assets and are the disadvantaged party.

Therefore, Tang Ye opposes violent demolition and opposes seeking private gain through demolition.

But the situation is different now.

The demolition funds for Pinghu Town this time are sufficient; not only are they giving money, but they will also build resettlement housing, and the comprehensive subsidies are higher than those of surrounding towns.

Almost all villagers approve of the conditions given by the Government.

Standing from the perspective of the Government's development, demolition is imperative; only by demolishing can we provide fertile soil for the rapid development of the economy.

Moreover, the current obstacles to demolition are clearly a meticulously planned, organized, and systematic Hidden Plot.

Chen Zhihua cautiously reminded, "If we forcibly arrest someone, we might just walk right into a trap designed by others."

Tang Ye, however, had a different view, "If we conduct demolition in violation of regulations, it would be contrary to morality and we certainly wouldn't get support. But if we stand from the perspective of the masses, then there is no need to be timid or hesitant in our actions; we must have the courage to press forward."

Chen Zhihua was thoughtful, "What do you intend to do?"

"Arrest Hu Junsheng on the charge of malicious assault. I am willing to bear the responsibility for any negative impact caused."

Chen Zhihua waved his hand and said in a firm tone, "I am the Party Secretary; once there is a negative impact, of course, I must be the one standing at the very front."
