Chapter 626: This News is Truly Explosive!

"On the fifth of last month, you went to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the City People's Hospital to register and undergo an examination."

"A few days ago, which is two days before you met privately with Shen Mingcheng, you also went to a hospital in the provincial capital for an examination."

"Your husband was transferred for work half a year ago to a project site in Shaanxi Province and has not returned home in these six months. Why have you been frequently going to the hospital for prenatal checkups, and so discreetly, for fear that others would find out! This is truly suspicious!"

As Tang Ye gradually sorted through the information in these documents, tears slid from the corners of Gao Xiaoqing's eyes.

She knew her secret could no longer be hidden.

Gao Xiaoqing and her husband had been married for many years, but because of her husband's low sperm motility, she had never been able to conceive.

She had once thought about doing in vitro fertilization, but tried twice and both ended in failure.

Originally, Gao Xiaoqing thought she would never have the chance to conceive in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, she recently discovered her weight had increased and her usually regular period had been delayed.

She went to the hospital for an examination with a nervous heart, and the final conclusion left her surprised, excited, and speechless.

She was actually pregnant!

Gao Xiaoqing is now thirty-two years old and can no longer be considered young.

As a woman, she naturally hoped to have a child.

However, this child came too unexpectedly.

With her husband not by her side, the only explanation was that the child was Shen Mingcheng's.

Because in these past few months, only Shen Mingcheng had had relations with her.

After finishing the examination in the provincial capital, Gao Xiaoqing finally confirmed that she was truly pregnant.

She summoned the courage to call Shen Mingcheng, and after some probing, the two reconnected.

But, Gao Xiaoqing had not yet decided whether to tell Shen Mingcheng about the pregnancy.

She knew Shen Mingcheng had no children and was already divorced.

She had also had a crazy thought: divorce her husband and then form a new family with Shen Mingcheng.

However, reality poured a bucket of cold water on her.

Before she could confess this secret to Shen Mingcheng, it had already been discovered by others.

Moreover, judging from current signs, Shen Mingcheng had gotten himself into no small amount of trouble.

"Gao Xiaoqing, you are a rational person. You know Shen Mingcheng to some extent; is he really reliable? If I'm not mistaken, you haven't told him this news yet, have you! Because you know in your heart that once he finds out, he will definitely make you abort this child."

Gao Xiaoqing could no longer control her emotions, covered her face, and broke down in tears.

Tang Ye did not continue speaking, stood up, and left the Interrogation Room.

Wan Ming followed closely behind and asked in surprise, "How did you guess that the child in Gao Xiaoqing's womb is Shen Mingcheng's?"

Tang Ye analyzed, "Because Gao Xiaoqing is very smart and has a keen sense of smell for danger. Shen Mingcheng once had an incident due to issues with his conduct; if she weren't pregnant with his child, she would never have rekindled her old flame with Shen Mingcheng."

When saying these words, Tang Ye still wore a look of slight lament on his face.

Chen Lan said that her married life with Shen Mingcheng was not harmonious, while Tang Ye's own married life with Du Xi could always be given full marks.

This indirectly illustrated a principle!

The harmony of married life has no necessary connection to the accuracy of marksmanship.

Wan Ming asked again, "Gao Xiaoqing is pregnant; will she betray Shen Mingcheng?"

Tang Ye rubbed his chin and shook his head with a bitter smile, "That's hard to say. Even if Gao Xiaoqing doesn't step forward to accuse Shen Mingcheng, the evidence Lin Qing obtained from Gu Lanping's father is enough to make things difficult for Shen Mingcheng."

Tang Ye and Wan Ming walked into the office and chatted about the next investigative approach. Suddenly, the office door was knocked.

Wan Ming called out "Come in," and a policewoman walked in with a joyful look on her face: "Executive Tang, County Magistrate Wan, after some counseling, Gao Xiaoqing is willing to cooperate with our investigation and act as a state's witness to strive for a sentence reduction."

Tang Ye and Wan Ming looked at each other, both seeing excitement in the other's eyes.

In fact, Gao Xiaoqing's choice to betray Shen Mingcheng was within reason.

There was no affection between them from the start; it was purely based on interest-driven dealings.

Now that Shen Mingcheng would only bring misfortune to Gao Xiaoqing, the exquisitely selfish Gao Xiaoqing would naturally choose to "backstab" Shen Mingcheng.

Unknowingly, it was already eleven o'clock at night.

The policewoman took the transcript to find Wan Ming and Tang Ye.

After Wan Ming looked it over, he handed it to Tang Ye.

A flash of light crossed Tang Ye's eyes.

The clues and evidence provided by Gao Xiaoqing were very valuable!

After the policewoman left, Tang Ye dialed Du Chengfeng's phone: "Gao Xiaoqing has opened up; after interrogation, we have initially grasped evidence of Shen Mingcheng's violations of law and discipline."

Du Chengfeng had been waiting for news; he covered the phone and said softly to Zhou Chengwu not far away: "Secretary Zhou, we have already grasped the evidence of Shen Mingcheng's illegal activities."

Zhou Chengwu nodded slightly: "Have Little Tang send the materials over."

Du Chengfeng went to the hotel office and waited for about ten minutes before Tang Ye sent the transcript over via fax.

He picked up the fax and read it carefully, thinking to himself: This material is indeed enough to take down Shen Mingcheng; Tang Ye's efficiency is truly astonishing.

Zhou Chengwu took the materials handed over by Du Chengfeng, and when he saw that Gao Xiaoqing was pregnant and the child was Shen Mingcheng's, his eyes narrowed instantly.

This news is truly explosive!

For it to happen to a Party member and cadre is even more ironic!

Zhou Chengwu dialed the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary's phone: "Secretary Du, there is a matter that requires your immediate handling."

Du Bin received Zhou Chengwu's call in the middle of the night and immediately realized that something major must have happened, so he quickly replied: "Please give your instructions, Secretary Zhou!"

Zhou Chengwu said: "You must immediately form a special task force to conduct a talk and reminder for Tianling County Party Secretary Shen Mingcheng!"

Upon hearing this, Du Bin could not help but be startled.

Shen Mingcheng is a Provincial Managed Cadre, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection cannot directly investigate him, but they can supervise him through specific mechanisms.

A talk and reminder is one such method.

"Secretary Zhou, Shen Mingcheng is a Provincial Managed Cadre and was arranged by the province. Should we first notify the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection before conducting a joint investigation?"

Zhou Chengwu thought to himself that Du Bin still understood the rules, then said: "I will report this matter to the provincial leaders later; remember, you must keep Shen Mingcheng steady!"

Du Bin said in a deep voice: "Understood!"

After hanging up the phone with Du Bin, Zhou Chengwu said to Du Chengfeng: "Have Tang Ye hand over the evidence he has mastered to Secretary Du Bin immediately. Do not delay, go do it right now, there must be a conclusion by tonight."

Du Chengfeng nodded hurriedly: "I will go instruct Tang Ye right away."

After Du Chengfeng left the office, Zhou Chengwu dialed the Provincial Party Secretary's phone number.

Why is it said that a County Party Secretary is a "local emperor"?

Because the status of a County Party Secretary is very special.

Even for a Provincial Party Secretary, it is procedurally unfeasible to directly dismiss a County Party Secretary.

Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to convene the People's Congress Representatives for a meeting, and a decision can only be made after discussion.

However, regulations are one thing, and actual operation is another.

A Municipal Party Secretary is sufficient to determine the political career of a County Party Secretary!
