Chapter 648: Strip Him of His Underpants in Public!

Ren Zilong was somewhat surprised when he was pushed into the police car.

The Police did not take him to the police station, but instead drove straight toward the Water Pump Factory.

Quite a few employees had already gathered in front of the Water Pump Factory office building; everyone had received notice and knew that a leader from the County Government was coming to the site to coordinate matters.

Ren Zilong's mood at this moment was exceptionally complex, and he could not fathom the other party's intentions at all.

Previously, Deputy County Magistrate Chen Hai had also come here to participate in coordination, but he ended up getting beaten; not only was the matter not resolved, but he also ended up looking disheveled and disgraced—that beating was for nothing.

Tang Ye really had quite a lot of nerve; could it be that he also wanted to taste the iron fists of the Water Pump Factory workers?

Tang Ye met Ren Zilong in the office.

Despite wearing handcuffs, Ren Zilong looked very calm; at a glance, he was the type of person with extremely strong psychological fortitude.

"Factory Director Ren, it really isn't easy to see you!" Tang Ye teased with a smile.

Ren Zilong's face turned red then white, but an unrealistic thought popped into his mind: Tang Ye had requested to see him, he had dodged the meeting, and as a result, the other party had actually used the power of the Public Security Bureau to drag him right under his nose.

To tell the truth, this move by Tang Ye was both "flashy" and tough enough!

"I didn't expect you to have such a temper. I admit, I did find an excuse not to go report my work to you, but you didn't have to make such a big scene," Ren Zilong said with a look of defiance at the corners of his mouth.

Tang Ye secretly mused that Ren Zilong had truly underestimated him.

How could he go to such great lengths just to vent his anger?

Although he was the Executive Deputy County Magistrate and a trusted aide to County Party Secretary Han Guangyao, and even the Deputy County Magistrate who concurrently served as the Public Security Bureau Chief was his loyal follower, he was not so petty as to lack even that much capacity for tolerance!

Using public office for private revenge? That didn't exist!

"Factory Director Ren, I came this time to thoroughly resolve the problems of the Water Pump Factory. Why you were arrested, I am not clear; that is the work of the Public Security Department. But for today's on-site coordination meeting, as the current Factory Director of the Water Pump Factory, you must be present!" Tang Ye said in a deep voice.

Ren Zilong glanced at Tang Ye with disdain.

The Water Pump Factory had run into operational problems over these years, but it didn't have much to do with him.

As for the matter of the office building being leased out, although Zhang Shun took the lion's share, quite a few people had participated in the dividends.

Now, wanting to lease out the office building undoubtedly infringed upon the vital interests of many people.

This kind of matter could not be coordinated into a result at all; instead, it would trigger chaos. Tang Ye was looking for trouble where there was none and putting himself on the fire to be roasted.

Lin Heng leaned over to Tang Ye's side and reported in a low voice: "The employees are almost all here."

Tang Ye asked: "Have you contacted Zhao Qian?"

Lin Heng replied: "Contacted, she will be here in five minutes!"

Tang Ye nodded slightly: "Let's wait a little longer."

Hearing the name "Zhao Qian" from Tang Ye's mouth, Ren Zilong vaguely felt something was wrong.

Could it be the old factory director's daughter, Zhao Qian?

She was not an employee of the Water Pump Factory; what was the point of calling her here?

The office door was pushed open, and Zhao Qian walked in with an anxious look on her face.

When she saw Ren Zilong wearing handcuffs, with two tall Police officers standing on his left and right in battle array, her originally hesitant mood instantly became firm.

Ren Zilong had been arrested!

Her father's grievances from back then could finally be cleared!

Tang Ye stood up, walked toward Zhao Qian on his own initiative, and introduced himself: "Hello, I am Tang Ye. The main reason I invited you to participate in the Water Pump Factory coordination meeting is that your father mentioned many problems in his complaint materials many years ago. Although he is no longer with us, we still hope you can be present."

Hearing Tang Ye mention her father, Zhao Qian's eyes instantly turned red; at this moment, she no longer had the slightest hesitation!

"County Magistrate Tang, this ledger was compiled by my father back then; it involves the details of the loss of Water Pump Factory assets. I am handing it to you now."

Tang Ye did not expect that Zhao Qian had not only come but also brought such crucial evidence.

With a solemn expression, he took the ledger from Zhao Qian's hands and flipped through it quickly, a mix of emotions surging in his heart.

Afterward, he gently closed the ledger, handed it to Lin Heng for safekeeping, and turned back to Zhao Qian, saying sincerely: "Your father was an upright person; the ledger he left behind can just happen to supplement our current investigation into the loss of Water Pump Factory assets.

The coordination meeting is about to begin; please come out with us and expose the ugly faces of those bad elements hiding in the Water Pump Factory to everyone!"

As soon as Tang Ye arrived at the scene, someone in the crowd started to stir up trouble:

"Don't waste your effort; we firmly disagree with selling the office building!"

"The Government never respects the interests of the common people when doing things; we want a fair and just explanation!"

"You all have gone too far; you arrested Zhang Shun, and you still dare to come here and show off your power?"

"Release Zhang Shun! Otherwise, don't think about leaving today!"

Tang Ye swept his gaze across the crowd and thought to himself: This bunch of Water Pump Factory employees has been brainwashed quite thoroughly.

Today's coordination meeting was destined to be quite difficult.

He took the megaphone from Lin Heng's hand and said loudly: "Judging by everyone's attitude, you are quite 'welcoming' of my arrival. Actually, I was quite nervous before I came; after all, there was a comrade who came to do work for everyone before who walked in standing and was carried out lying down. But I believe that I will absolutely not repeat the same mistake today!"

Tang Ye's words made the masses below feel quite surprised.

"Who is this person speaking? He's actually quite humorous."

"I recognize him; he is Executive Deputy County Magistrate Tang Ye, a higher official than Chen Hai, who came to do ideological work for us before."

"He is the mastermind who wants to sell the building!"

"He actually dares to walk right into the trap!"

Ignoring the clamor below, Tang Ye continued: "Why do I have confidence? Because I made full preparations before coming. First, I found the reason for the Water Pump Factory's losses over these years; second, I invited a special representative to participate in the coordination meeting with me."

The employees were left full of confusion by Tang Ye's words:

"Reason for losses? Isn't it just a sluggish market and poor management?"

"Who is this special representative?"

Tang Ye gave Lin Heng a look.

Lin Heng immediately waved to the distance, and immediately after, Ren Zilong was escorted out.

Ren Zilong was usually imposing and influential at the Water Pump Factory, but at this moment, wearing handcuffs and sandwiched between Police officers, he looked extremely wretched!

The crowd suddenly erupted in an uproar:

"Isn't that Factory Director Ren?"

"Why has Factory Director Ren been arrested?"

"They didn't just arrest Zhang Shun, they even arrested Factory Director Ren; their methods to sell the office building are just too dirty!"

"Bringing Factory Director Ren to the scene must have a reason, let's see what's going on first!"

"Ren Zilong has done plenty of bad things in private, has he been found out?"

Among the employees, a portion had been brainwashed by Ren Zilong, but there was also a group who remained calm.

At this moment, Ren Zilong finally understood Tang Ye's intention.

He wanted to strip away his underwear in front of all the employees and expose his ugly true colors!
