Chapter 66: No Need to Act Anymore!

~9 min read 1,738 words

Town Mayor's office.

Cao Debiao walked in and said mysteriously, "Just got news, the Resort Project is going to be located in our Pinghu!"

Wang Kaicheng remained calm, "It's true. Wei County Magistrate just finished calling me."

Wei Jian told Wang Kaicheng immediately; this was a signal worth pondering.

Nowadays, Pinghu has become a hot commodity, and various factions have already begun to draw battle lines.

Wang Kaicheng works in the administrative sector and has relatively frequent contact with Wei Jian.

In the past, Pinghu was a backward township, so Wang Kaicheng belonged to the fringe figures.

Now that Pinghu shows signs of rising, Wei Jian called to take the initiative to win him over.

With the news confirmed, a smile also appeared on Cao Debiao's face, "Didn't expect Tang Ye to have some real skills!"

Wang Kaicheng sighed with emotion, "More than just 'some skills'!"

Cao Debiao was full of regret at this moment, "Back then, when Tang Ye suggested to Chen Zhihua that all town party and government cadres sweep the streets together, I thought he was making things difficult for us. It's said that leaders from the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission came to Pinghu for an unannounced inspection and took a liking to this point."

Wang Kaicheng stroked his chin and sighed softly, "It seems like an unintentional act, but in fact, everything was aimed at a target!"

Tang Ye can be described with the word 'demon'.

The twenty-seven-year-old young comrade lays out plans like playing chess, calculating a hundred steps for every one taken.

Truly terrifying!

In officialdom, some people study matters, and some people study people.

Wang Kaicheng is undoubtedly the type who studies people.

For ordinary people, he can figure out their background after a few contacts.

But Tang Ye has always remained unfathomable to him.

Wang Kaicheng secretly thought that Cao Debiao did not know his own distress.

Wei Jian clearly wants to win him over to take a side.

Taking a side is a science.

If you choose the right team, you can rise rapidly;

If you choose the wrong team, it's no different from jumping into a cesspit.

Wang Kaicheng vaguely felt that keeping his stance consistent with Tang Ye's might be the most correct choice!

……

Tang Ye learned from Ren Jun that Li Min had rushed back from her maiden home, so he hurried to the Police Station.

Li Min was not very tall, had delicate features, and was holding a little girl by the hand; her complexion was dark, and she was in low spirits.

Tang Ye took Li Min into the Interrogation Room.

Hu Junsheng first showed a look of surprise, then immediately glared, "You finally decided to come back?"

Li Min was afraid of Hu Junsheng and hid behind Tang Ye while holding her daughter.

The daughter remembered how terrifying Hu Junsheng was after drinking and started crying loudly in fear.

Tang Ye had originally thought Hu Junsheng would soften when seeing his wife and daughter.

He didn't expect him to reveal his ferocious nature instead.

Sure enough, some people are born cold-blooded and cannot be reformed.

He scolded coldly, "Hu Junsheng, behave yourself."

Hu Junsheng seemed to know about the commotion at the entrance of the County Government and showed a look of disdain at the corner of his mouth, "Shouldn't you be letting me out?"

Tang Ye smiled helplessly, "I just came back from the County Government. The ones who went to hang the banners were all your fair-weather friends, right? The County Public Security Bureau has set up an investigation team and laid out a dragnet; not a single one will escape. Do you think you can still get out?"

Hu Junsheng's expression changed slightly, "Don't try to scare me. Once the reporters expose this and the matter blows up, you won't even be able to keep your official hat. If you let me go now, maybe things won't be too bad."

Tang Ye said disdainfully, "Giving you one last chance; as long as you tell me who is behind you, you can still be treated leniently."

Hu Junsheng actually sensed that things were going wrong, but he was still as stubborn as a dead duck!

"Don't even think about tricking a single word out of my mouth."

Li Min, considering their time as husband and wife, wiped away tears and pleaded bitterly, "Hu Junsheng, Town Mayor Tang isn't lying to you. Liu Er and the Bearded One have been arrested for suspected illegal gathering and causing trouble."

Hu Junsheng knew his wife wouldn't lie to him.

His face changed drastically at this moment.

The last bit of hope in his heart was also extinguished.

He slammed the table in a breakdown.

"They promised! The reporters would expose it, and the County Leaders would intervene."

Ren Jun quickly stepped forward and pressed his face onto the table.

"What awaits you is the sanction of the law. If nothing goes wrong, you will have to serve at least five years in prison. Li Min has already decided to divorce you, and the demolition compensation will be distributed according to legal regulations. I hope that after you go in, you can turn over a new leaf and become a new person!"

Tang Ye covered the girl's eyes in advance.

Even though Hu Junsheng is a cold-blooded devil.

Tang Ye did not want the child to see such a twisted side of her father.

……

County People's Hospital.

Guo Liang took the peeled apple from Xu Miao's hand, took a bite, and said with a smile, "The apple Town Mayor Tang bought is really good, crisp and sweet with plenty of juice; you should have some too?"

Xu Miao gave Guo Liang a look of disdain, "Town Mayor Tang isn't stingy; the fruit he picks is always the most expensive."

Footsteps came from the corridor.

Guo Liang reacted quickly, hurriedly hiding the apple under his pillow, pulling up the quilt to cover his body, and frowning tightly.

Xu Miao looked at her husband's reaction, finding it both annoying and funny.

"How much longer do you have to keep acting? Aren't you exhausted?"

Guo Liang retorted irritably, "What do you know? I just got a call from Town Mayor Tang; the County Leaders are coming to visit the sick. If I were perfectly fine, wouldn't the leaders have made a wasted trip?"

No sooner had the words fallen than a group of people appeared in the hospital room.

Walking at the very front was Du Chengfeng.

Beside him was the Dean of the County People's Hospital.

Tang Ye walked slightly behind and to the side of Du Chengfeng.

Upon entering the hospital room, Tang Ye stepped to the front and introduced to Du Chengfeng, "This is Guo Liang's wife, Xu Miao." He then introduced to Xu Miao, "This is County Party Secretary Du, who came specifically to visit after learning that Guo Liang was injured in the line of duty."

Xu Miao was extremely surprised; she had not expected County Party Secretary Du Chengfeng to come visit in person, as this was no ordinary treatment.

Du Chengfeng walked to Guo Liang's side.

Guo Liang slowly opened his eyes and tried his best to sit up, showing an extremely pained expression on his face.

Tang Ye watched Guo Liang's strenuous performance and found it secretly amusing, but he soothed him, saying, "Your injuries haven't recovered well; don't force yourself."

Du Chengfeng frowned, his eyes full of concern, "The Village Bully Hu Junsheng has already been arrested. From now on, you must rest well and strive for a speedy recovery."

Tang Ye smiled from the side and said, "County Party Secretary Du is extremely concerned about you and has already had the County Party Committee issue a commendation order to honor and reward you."

Guo Liang was ecstatic inside, but he still wore a weak look on his face, "I am too ashamed. Thank you, County Party Secretary Du, and thank you all, leaders, for coming to see me. I only did what I should have done."

Du Chengfeng gently took Guo Liang's hand and patted the back of it, "Rest well, we won't disturb you any further. If you need anything, just mention it to Comrade Tang Ye, and we will do our best to accommodate you."

Guo Liang squeezed out a look of gratitude once more, "Thank you for your concern, County Party Secretary."

The camera flash flickered, and the shutter sound "Click!" rang out.

The comrade in charge of publicity captured this "touching" scene just in time.

Tang Ye saw Du Chengfeng to his car and immediately turned back.

Tang Ye looked at Guo Liang lying on the bed, still maintaining his sickly appearance, and was torn between laughter and tears, "They've left; you don't have to act anymore."

Guo Liang sat up with a grin, "I never expected that getting injured would actually stir up the County Party Secretary."

Tang Ye said with a smile, "I just mentioned it to the County Party Secretary in passing; I didn't expect him to take the initiative to come visit you. Keep working hard; your future is bright."

Guo Liang was overwhelmed with excitement and asked cautiously, "I heard the provincial-level Resort Project is going to be built in our Pinghu. Is that true?"

Tang Ye nodded firmly, "Absolutely true. There will be a bunch of tough battles to fight in the future. You need to prepare yourself mentally!"

After Tang Ye left.

Guo Liang couldn't stay lying on the bed anymore; he got down and paced back and forth.

Xu Miao said softly, "Can you settle down for a moment?"

Guo Liang clenched his fists and said excitedly.

"Tomorrow I'm going to handle my discharge procedures.

I chose the right side in this political alignment!

Wife, do you think I have a chance to move up a step further?"

Xu Miao watched Guo Liang acting as if he were possessed and sighed to herself, though she could actually understand it.

Many people would go crazy, wouldn't they!

What would it mean for a three-billion-scale investment project to drop into a small town?

The room for imagination was just too vast!

... "Unknowingly, another year has passed!

Thank you all for accompanying me for another year!

I wish you all a happy, joyful, healthy, smooth, and successful new year in everything you do!"
