Chapter 739: The Moment to Scrape the Bone to Heal the Wound!

Ma Ran walked out of the room.

The gloom of the past several days had finally been swept away!

Tang Ye could guess Ma Ran's mood, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Your performance this time was good."

Ma Ran hurriedly said, "That is because you were masterminding the strategy."

Tang Ye saw sorrow in Ma Ran's eyes.

Although Ma Ran appeared to have succeeded in his revenge, he had lost quite thoroughly on another front.

They returned to the County Party Committee Compound.

Many people saw Tang Ye and Ma Ran walking one after the other, and looks of surprise appeared on their faces.

"Wasn't Xiao Ma taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation?"

"Looking at this posture, he must have been protected by County Magistrate Tang."

"County Magistrate Tang's connections and resources are very broad; his background is truly solid enough."

"It is said that he is very familiar with some leaders in the city, and Secretary Liu has highly praised Tang Ye many times at municipal-level meetings."

"Sure enough, having a deep background makes a difference. Ma Ran has really latched onto a powerful backer. I'm envious!"

Ma Ran straightened his spine; he knew that in the eyes of these people, since he had been taken away for investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission, his status was destined to be tainted.

The two arrived at the County Party Secretary's office.

Ou Xiye let Tang Ye sit down, then looked at Ma Ran and said, "Xiao Ma, you sit down too!"

Ma Ran was flattered, but he still smiled and declined, "Thank you, Secretary Ou, I'd better stand!"

Ou Xiye took a deep look at Ma Ran and did not force him, thinking to himself that this young man still had a good sense of propriety; why hadn't he noticed it before?

Ma Ran was actually very excited inside; one had to know that there were so many people in the County Party Committee Compound, and it was impossible for Ou Xiye to know everyone, especially since he had only started working not long ago.

Although he had taken the initiative to greet Ou Xiye before, Ou Xiye had never been able to call him by his name.

But this time, because he participated in this mission, Ma Ran not only demonstrated his value but finally had a sense of presence.

In officialdom, if one wants to seek advancement, a sense of presence is indispensable.

Tang Ye glanced at Ma Ran, then immediately said to Ou Xiye, "Secretary Ou, Comrade Ma Ran performed very excellently this time. He never wavered in the face of temptation and also collected quite a bit of key evidence. Ma Ran, report Jiang Zhongwen's confession to Secretary Ou!"

Ma Ran hurriedly opened his notebook.

"Secretary Ou, I have organized Jiang Zhongwen's confession materials. The important criminal facts involving Chen Dongan include the following points:

Between 2005 and 2008, Chen Dongan took advantage of his position to provide convenience and help to 7 enterprises and 20 individuals in undertaking business and obtaining project funds during the process of being responsible for Dayu County's education system infrastructure construction, educational equipment procurement, kindergarten cafeteria contracting, and primary and middle school uniform customization.

Chen Dongan was cunning and cautious; he dared not store this money at home or in his office, nor did he dare to reveal even half a word to his family.

Driven by a fluke mentality, in order to properly keep these ill-gotten gains, he not only bought property for his mistress but also deposited all the bribe money under her name."

Anger ignited in Ou Xiye's eyes.

Dayu County was already a National-level Poverty-stricken County.

On this barren land, such greedy vermin had actually bred.

This made him feel extremely ashamed and furious.

"Regarding Chen Dongan's issues, we must deal with them strictly!"

Tang Ye responded softly, "Secretary Zhang Yue of the Discipline Inspection Commission has already arranged for personnel to track down the funds involved in the case."

At this moment, Tang Ye's mobile phone happened to ring.

"It's Secretary Zhang calling!"

Ou Xiye said softly, "Answer it!"

Seeing that it was Zhang Yue calling, Tang Ye answered the phone, "Secretary Zhang, hello!"

"County Magistrate Tang, according to the clues you provided, I just led people to conduct a surprise search of the residence of Hong Xiulan, Deputy Director of the Academic Affairs Office of County No. 1 Middle School. After a meticulous search, we seized cash, high-end tobacco and alcohol, and expensive watches. But Hong Xiulan claimed she did not know the source of these items and pushed all the problems onto Chen Dongan."

Hearing this, Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your hard work, Secretary Zhang! I am currently reporting work to Secretary Ou. Why don't you report the progress of the case to Secretary Ou in detail?"

After speaking, Tang Ye handed the phone to Ou Xiye.

Ou Xiye took it smoothly.

Ou Xiye said in a deep voice into the phone, "I am Ou Xiye."

Zhang Yue immediately responded, "Secretary Ou, hello!"

Ou Xiye got straight to the point, "Secretary Liu just called specifically to express extreme concern about this case. You must speed up the investigation progress; you absolutely cannot delay!"

Zhang Yue immediately perked up, his tone carrying a bit of caution as he reported:

"Secretary Ou, please rest assured, we have already begun to make breakthroughs with Chen Dongan's mistresses one by one. His problems are more typical than expected.

From the home of just one of his mistresses, we seized a large amount of funds. If we can thoroughly investigate all the problems, the amount involved will likely be an astronomical figure."

Ou Xiye took a deep breath and said with a firm tone, "You must not have any misgivings! Dayu County has now reached the moment where we must scrape the bone to heal the wound; we must give the common people a satisfactory account!"

Having received clear support from Ou Xiye, Zhang Yue felt a sudden sense of relief and hurriedly guaranteed, "Please rest assured, Secretary Ou, I will definitely investigate this case to the end!"

Just at this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the office.

It was also mixed with a woman's crying and cursing.

Ou Xiye's brows furrowed instantly, and he immediately stood up, walked to the desk, picked up the landline, dialed, and asked in a deep voice into the phone, "What happened outside!"

On the other end of the phone came the helpless voice of the Liaison Officer.

"Secretary Ou, Chen Dongan's wife has come to the County Party Committee Compound to cause trouble, demanding that we release Chen Dongan immediately, and she even claims that Chen Dongan is innocent."

Ou Xiye snorted coldly, "Hmph, how could the case-handling department arrest people casually?"

"Oh my, Secretary Ou, it seems something big has happened! Chen Dongan's wife suddenly said her stomach hurts, and she is showing symptoms of bleeding from her lower body!"

Ou Xiye's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Did you lay a hand on her?"

The other side of the phone hurriedly denied it, "We absolutely did not lay a hand on her!"

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Ou Xiye's face, and he said urgently into the phone, "What kind of mess is this! Hurry and send her to the hospital for treatment!"

Ou Xiye's complexion turned livid, and his monstrous rage shifted onto Chen Dongan.

Chen Dongan had always cultivated a persona of being a "loving husband and family man."

The outside world knew he lived a dissolute life, yet his wife trusted him implicitly and often stepped forward to defend him.

After hanging up the phone, Ou Xiye sighed helplessly and turned to give Tang Ye a wry smile:

"Chen Dongan's wife couldn't accept the fact that her husband was involved in the case and ran to the County Party Committee Compound to cause a scene, but she was stopped by security. She was too agitated, fell down, and showed signs of vaginal bleeding."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ye was quite surprised and hurriedly asked, "She won't miscarry, will she?"

Ou Xiye nodded slowly toward Tang Ye and said in a low voice, "Many people can testify that it was caused by her own agitation. She has already been sent to the hospital, and there is a high probability the child cannot be saved!"
