Chapter 738: Who Wants Your Dirty Money!
Tang Ye is the Executive Deputy County Magistrate, how could he appear here!
As for Ma Ran, wasn't he taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation?
The appearance of Ma Ran made Chen Dongan realize in an instant.
He had been deceived!
"Director Chen, long time no see!"
"You turtle grandson, you dare to backstab me!" Director Chen was so angry he gritted his teeth!
Tang Ye picked up the confession document in front of Chen Dongan, scanned it quickly, and then tore it directly into pieces.
"Your attitude toward confessing is not good enough; even I can't stand to look at it, let alone the staff of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection!"
Tang Ye destroyed the materials that Chen Dongan had racked his brains and spent half a day writing in one fell swoop.
Chen Dongan felt as if his lungs were about to explode with anger.
"Tang Ye, you have gone too far! Even a rabbit will bite when pushed to the limit! Where exactly did I offend you, why must you keep pressing me step by step!"
Tang Ye sighed softly: "You didn't offend me, you offended the common people of Dayu County. During your years serving in the County Education Bureau, how many unconscionable things have you done? Don't you have any idea in your own heart?"
Chen Dongan slapped the table angrily: "Don't give me that sanctimonious act! Do you think I don't have dirt on you in my hands?"
Seeing the cold sneer at the corner of Chen Dongan's mouth, Tang Ye immediately guessed what he intended to say.
"If I'm not mistaken, you want to say that I have an improper relationship with a certain female teacher at our County No. 1 Middle School, right?"
Chen Dongan laughed out loud, while casting a look of pity at Ma Ran: "Are you sure you want me to spell this out right now?"
Tang Ye smiled helplessly:
"Director Chen, don't be fooled by the things you've imagined. I know very well what you want to say!
Ma Ran was invited by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to assist in the investigation of the Dayu County education corruption case.
His girlfriend, Huo Xiaowen, found me, hoping I could help Ma Ran get through the crisis.
The process of my interaction with her was all recorded, and there is no relationship like the one you've imagined."
Chen Dongan stared at Tang Ye in shock.
He had originally thought he was firmly holding onto dirt on Tang Ye.
He did not expect Tang Ye to openly and honestly explain the matter.
At this moment, Ma Ran gritted his teeth and sneered: "Director Chen, do you still remember that day at the noodle shop when you had people beat me? Ever since then, I decided to break up with Huo Xiaowen. Although we got back together later, that was just a temporary measure.
It was only after receiving instructions from County Magistrate Tang that I deliberately played along, infiltrated your ranks, and contacted and learned about your corruption methods..."
In fact, as early as when he saw that Ma Ran was not angry at his attempt to expose the alleged affair between Tang Ye and Huo Xiaowen, Chen Dongan had already vaguely felt that he seemed to have been set up.
Now, hearing Ma Ran say that he was intentionally acting as an undercover agent, and that even accepting that money was part of the plan, he only felt his head buzzing as if it had been blown open.
"Hmph, I have worked in Dayu County for so many years and made so many contributions to the development of the education cause. I consider myself to have a clear conscience! I can withstand any investigation, don't think you can use such despicable means to retaliate against me!"
Chen Dongan suppressed his emotions and tried hard to calm himself down.
He was still struggling to hold on at this moment—as long as he didn't let anything slip, he still had a chance to turn things around.
Tang Ye knew Chen Dongan's psychological changes like the back of his hand and spoke slowly: "If you cooperate with the investigation now, actively provide clues, and assist us in advancing the case, you might still be able to strive for a lighter sentence."
Chen Dongan remained stubborn: "Don't give me that, there are no problems with me."
Tang Ye sighed lightly and said to Chen Dongan: "Director Chen, as far as I know, during this recent period, you have been running to a certain apartment in the teacher's building of the County No. 1 Middle School as soon as you get off work. That apartment is registered under the name of a teacher surnamed Hong. May I ask what your relationship is with this Teacher Hong?"
Chen Dongan felt a layer of cold sweat break out on his back instantly, and he chose to remain silent with his lips tightly pressed.
Tang Ye continued: "Old Chen, the Discipline Inspection Department has already summoned Teacher Hong. Based on your understanding of her, how long do you think she can hold out? I advise you to face reality sooner!"
Chen Dongan gritted his teeth and stared at Tang Ye with eyes full of disdain:
"You just arrived in Dayu County and are deliberately engaging in political persecution in pursuit of political achievements! Dayu County is not as simple as you think. Just wait, retribution will come sooner or later!"
Tang Ye shrugged, his tone flat but carrying weight: "I believe in karma, and this retribution has already landed on you."
After saying this, Tang Ye and Ma Ran walked out of the room together.
He patted Ma Ran on the shoulder: "You've worked hard during this time."
Ma Ran shook his head and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Tang, you've given me a few days off, I'm not tired at all."
Tang Ye nodded: "You still need to show your face to Jiang Zhongwen; you have to give him enough stimulation, otherwise he won't easily let anything slip."
A cold, hard smile curled at the corner of Ma Ran's mouth: "Don't worry, County Magistrate Tang, I will definitely 'stimulate' him well."
Tang Ye watched Ma Ran walk into another room, clear appreciation showing in his eyes.
This young man, Ma Ran, truly has the potential to accomplish great things.
He is a person who values relationships deeply, yet he is also able to rationally pull himself out of the whirlpool of emotions.
Not everyone has this kind of decisiveness.
After all, not everyone can "sever their feelings for their beloved" without hesitation.
As soon as Ma Ran walked into the room, Jiang Zhongwen stared at him in shock and stammered: "X-X-Xiao Ma, you... how could you be here?"
Looking at Jiang Zhongwen's flustered appearance, a cold sneer rose at the corner of Ma Ran's mouth.
"Principal Jiang, for all your calculations, you probably didn't expect to meet me on this occasion, did you?"
"Xiao Ma, didn't we settle our previous matters?" Jiang Zhongwen argued hurriedly, "I did have people beat you, but didn't I give you thirty thousand yuan in compensation later?"
"Who the hell wants your dirty money!"
Ma Ran slammed the table, his voice full of fury.
"Human dignity is priceless! Do you think you can buy it with a mere thirty thousand yuan?
Including what you gave later, a total of one hundred thousand yuan, I have already transferred it all to the Integrity Account!
Wake up!
Chen Dongan is finished!
Now, as long as you take the initiative to report him, you can still strive for a lighter sentence;"
"If you continue to be stubborn and refuse to listen, then you are seeking your own death!"
Jiang Zhongwen was not as shrewd as Chen Dongan to begin with, and at this moment, his eyes were filled with fear and collapse.
"I have always been law-abiding!"
"Is that so? Let me remind you, every year with the campus construction projects, you cut corners, and a large sum of money ended up in your own pocket."
"And there is also how you used coercion and bribery to pimp for Chen Dongan, introducing mistresses to him..."
Ma Ran continued to list, one after another, those scandals regarding County No. 1 Middle School that he had learned from Huo Xiaowen.
Jiang Zhongwen's complexion became increasingly ugly, and finally, unable to hold on any longer, he shouted with a sobbing tone: "Stop talking! I beg you, stop talking! I confess! I confess!"
He slumped into his chair, his voice hoarse and low:
"I was originally a teacher with ideals and sentiments too!"
"It was all Chen Dongan!"
"That degenerate!"
"He lured me step by step, making me step into the abyss of corruption!"
