Chapter 63: Only Fight Battles You Are Sure to Win!

~8 min read 1,502 words

Only fight battles you are sure to win!

Tang Ye pulled several categorized documents out of his briefcase.

Even without the "get-out-of-jail-free card" of the Resort Project that had fallen from the sky.

He was still prepared.

The first piece of material!

"Leaders, after we arrested Hu Junsheng yesterday, we conducted a background investigation into his situation. Hu Junsheng is a degenerate gambler who throws every bit of money he has onto the gambling table. Recently, he has suddenly become extravagant; not only does he frequent high-end establishments, but he has also purchased many luxury goods. These are all pieces of evidence!"

Wei Jian glanced at Tang Ye and questioned, "Since you say Hu Junsheng likes to gamble, perhaps he suddenly won money, which is why he has a spending capacity inconsistent with his usual self. Gambling has its wins and losses. Perhaps his luck at gambling has simply improved recently?"

Tang Ye mused to himself that Wei Jian was sharp enough to immediately find the problem with the material.

When Ren Jun investigated the bank statement of Hu Junsheng, he did not see any large transfer information.

The only explanation: it did not go through online channels, but was a private cash transaction.

Of course, Tang Ye did not expect to break the deadlock with just one piece of material.

Immediately, he presented the second piece of material!

"This is the feedback from villagers we collected after conducting interviews. Hu Junsheng once lobbied several villagers to follow him in resisting the demolition work, promising them high compensation afterward. Hu Junsheng likes to be aggressive and violent, and he has injured villagers many times, so the villagers did not cooperate!"

The material was passed to Wei Jian.

Wei Jian only gave it a rough glance.

"The authenticity of this material remains to be verified.

First, could they have been bought off to provide false testimony?

Second, since the witnesses have a poor relationship with Hu Junsheng, could they be deliberately kicking a man when he is down?

Third, could they be deliberately smearing Hu Junsheng out of fear that he might obtain a better demolition policy?

There are often conflicts between villagers; these words are one-sided, not objective, and not credible!"

Tang Ye mused to himself that Wei Jian's ability to sophistry was very strong.

Under his distortion, the bullied villagers had instead become the sinister and cunning ones.

Tang Ye immediately took out a digital voice recorder.

This was the third piece of material, and also his trump card.

Victory or defeat rested on this one move!

"This recording was provided by Hu Junsheng's wife. We have obtained her consent to play it for everyone."

At this moment, Wei Jian had a bad feeling.

He had not expected Tang Ye to be so well-prepared.

It seemed as though every piece of evidence had been overturned by him.

But Wei Jian knew that he was merely engaging in sophistry.

The exposure of the Hidden Plot was only a matter of time...

Tang Ye pressed the switch on the voice recorder.

The conversation between Hu Junsheng's wife, Li Min, and Tang Ye played.

Li Min: "A month ago, Hu Junsheng called me and told me that our home was going to be demolished. He knows a very powerful boss in the county and will help this boss do a few things. After finishing this matter, the boss will let him take full charge of the demolition work in the town, and he can demolish three extra houses. He promised me that he would not only pay off his gambling debts but also buy a house in the city. He talked big, hoping I could bring our daughter back!"

Tang Ye: "Why didn't you come back?"

Li Min: "My heart is dead to him. No matter how much money he has, he will lose it. When he finishes drinking, he is an animal; he not only hits me but also hits our daughter. I can endure him hitting me, but I truly cannot endure him hitting our daughter. She is only five years old and covered in bruises. I have even thought about dying together with him!"

Tang Ye: "What is that boss's name?"

Li Min: "I don't quite remember, it seems his surname is Huo!"

Tang Ye: "Your marriage with Hu Junsheng has cracks, but you are still husband and wife. The demolition in the village requires you to come back once to assist us in handling it. You don't need to worry about Hu Junsheng pestering you. He assaulted Guo Liang and colluded with social drifters to obstruct official business. The law will punish him."

Li Min: "I will take the bus back tomorrow!"

Tang Ye turned off the voice recorder.

"Some may doubt the reliability of the recording. Li Min has already rushed back from her hometown, and we can verify it in person when the time comes."

"This man, Hu Junsheng, has a severe gambling addiction, is a long-term alcoholic, and has a tendency toward domestic violence. During the process of communicating with me, his wife had several emotional breakdowns. He even dared to assault staff members in public; Guo Liang is still lying in the County Hospital and cannot get out of bed. Can we tolerate such a social cancer, whom even his own spouse fears, to remain at large?"

Wei Jian stroked his chin and chose to take a strategic drink of water.

He hadn't expected Hu Junsheng to be so filthy; how could Huo Jiansheng have found such a thing!

"Are there any other materials?" Du Chengfeng looked around.

Tang Ye said, "That is all."

Du Chengfeng nodded, "Everyone has seen the materials. Let other comrades express their own views! Comrade Wei Jian, you have been considering the problem from Hu Junsheng's perspective; why don't you speak!"

Wei Jian said indifferently, "Comrade Tang Ye, I have been questioning the evidence, not deliberately trying to make things difficult for you.

Hu Junsheng has brought in a Reporter; if the materials cannot pass my inspection, it will be difficult to convince the Reporter. As Government staff, we must put ourselves in others' shoes and consider the problem from the perspective of the common people.

The power we possess is great, and the common people are a vulnerable group. Demolition work is inherently controversial, and news often breaks out all over the country, bringing a bad influence to the Government.

Regarding these materials, I still have doubts. Especially the recording; it still needs to be verified after Li Min returns."

Tang Ye had underestimated Wei Jian's psychological fortitude.

Even at this point, he could still fabricate a set of rhetoric from his own standpoint.

Following this, the members of the County Party Committee expressed their positions one by one.

Tang Ye had a rough understanding of the situation within the County Party Committee.

There were about three Standing Committee Members standing on Wei Jian's side;

There were three other Standing Committee Members who remained neutral and tried to smooth things over;

The remaining four, including Du Chengfeng, were on Tang Ye's side.

Although Du Chengfeng was the County Party Secretary, because he had not been in this position for long, his control over the Standing Committee was still insufficient.

However, the general direction of today's meeting still leaned toward Du Chengfeng.

After everyone finished speaking, Du Chengfeng provided a summary.

"Regarding the petition incident at the County Government today, Comrade Tang Ye has already clarified the situation; the top priority is to communicate well with the media so that the outside world does not develop any misunderstandings.

Secondly, the Provincial Level Resort Project will be located in Pinghu, and there will be large-scale land requisition and demolition work ahead; the situation will become even more complex in the future, so we must respect the rights of the common people, but we also cannot indulge those who seek private gain, and we must remove the stumbling blocks that hinder economic development.

Furthermore, the achievements made by Pinghu Town during this period are visible to all; the total investment for the Aiou Electric project has reached as high as 220 million. The first phase of investment for the Health and Wellness Town will be three billion. Local development will encounter various problems. We cannot believe every rumor we hear; we must support grassroots cadres and become the foundation of their struggle and hard work.

According to the feedback from Comrade Tang Ye, this may be a planned Hidden Plot.

The County Public Security Bureau must establish an investigation team to delve into the truth of the matter.

We must let those lawless elements who are restless and trying to fish in troubled waters know our determination; they should not think they can steal the people's interests through crooked paths."

Du Chengfeng's last sentence was the key!

Who could have imagined that Tang Ye would pass through unscathed?

Not only that.

He also beautifully swung a sword at the mastermind behind the scenes!
