Chapter 775: Smelling the Scent of a Major Case!

County Magistrate Jiang had previously assumed all along that the other party was targeting him.

Yet he had not expected that the other party's true target was actually Tang Ye.

Looking at it this way!

A broken leg and two broken ribs!

It really is damn unjust!

One wonders what County Magistrate Jiang's reaction will be when he learns of this result.

For some reason, Xing Zhijun felt it was a bit amusing!

Human psychology is very complex; seeing a strong person get thwarted brings a sense of secret joy.

Xing Zhijun was silent for a moment, then said softly to Tang Ye, "County Magistrate Tang, may I have a word with you?"

"Alright."

Tang Ye responded, then followed Xing Zhijun to an empty office next door.

Xing Zhijun took a cigarette case from his pocket, tapped out a cigarette, and handed it to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye took the cigarette, lit it, and took a puff, waiting for him to speak.

"County Magistrate Tang, you actually knew from the very beginning that the mastermind behind this was Li Tian, didn't you?" Xing Zhijun asked, getting straight to the point.

"I did indeed suspect it early on, but I had no evidence," Tang Ye said candidly. "County Magistrate Jiang has a very good relationship with Li Zhongling. Li Zhongling is a famous entrepreneur in the county, and I was worried I might misjudge the situation and cause unnecessary trouble. Only after catching Lao Jin did I have full certainty."

Xing Zhijun went over the entire matter from beginning to end.

Tang Ye had actually been secretly helping him advance the case investigation all along.

For example, quietly guiding him to shift the investigation target to Hongling Group;

For example, specifically having him arrange personnel to protect Meng Haibo;

And for another example, previously stopping him from impulsively arresting Zhao Hui.

The more he thought, the more alarmed he became!

If it hadn't been for Tang Ye stopping him from arresting Zhao Hui.

Perhaps!

This case would have ended up as a miscarriage of justice.

If things went poorly!

It would even have affected his own future.

Having figured this out, Xing Zhijun looked at Tang Ye and asked, "County Magistrate Tang, what should we do next? Do you have any thoughts?"

Tang Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Let's still let County Magistrate Jiang make the final decision. After all, he is the victim; it is only right that he knows the truth before making a choice."

"Fine! Then let's go to the hospital together now and report the whole case to County Magistrate Jiang," Xing Zhijun proposed. "You are one of the parties involved and are clearer on the situation; with you there to supplement, County Magistrate Jiang will be able to understand faster."

Tang Ye nodded slightly, sighed, and said, "Sigh, then let's get our stories straight first, to see how best to explain it to County Magistrate Jiang..."

"Yes, we can't let County Magistrate Jiang feel aggrieved!"

Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun arrived at the hospital.

Jiang Anbang was currently refusing to see all visitors.

However, the two of them were exceptions.

Xing Zhijun walked into the ward with an excited look on his face, "County Magistrate Jiang, I have some good news to report to you: we have caught the culprit who hit you that day."

Jiang Anbang said in surprise, "Really? Don't make a mistake."

Xing Zhijun waved his hand, "The culprit has already confessed; he was instigated by Li Tian, the young master of Hongling Group."

Jiang Anbang widened his eyes and looked at Xing Zhijun in astonishment.

"Li Tian? Why would he do this? Could it be that he is deliberately trying to sow discord between me and the Zhao Clan?"

Xing Zhijun quickly stated the prepared explanation.

"County Magistrate Tang and I analyzed it, and there should be two reasons.

First, just as you analyzed, they staged the attack to frame the Zhao Group.

Second, County Magistrate Tang previously had a conflict with Li Tian, so Li Tian also holds a grudge against County Magistrate Tang.

However, the first reason should be the most important one.

After all, Li Tian wouldn't go so far as to brutally attack a National Cadre over a personal conflict."

Jiang Anbang was stunned.

With his level of experience, he immediately grasped the subtext.

He looked toward Tang Ye.

"What conflict do you have with Li Tian?"

"His girlfriend is a reporter for the Yanzhou Evening News who once did an exclusive interview with me; her name is Han Jing."

Jiang Anbang nodded slightly, "I have an impression of her; Li Zhongling thinks very highly of this daughter-in-law. We have even had meals together."

Tang Ye sighed, "Li Tian has an extreme personality. He cannot accept any man approaching Han Jing and often lays hands on her. We hoped to help Han Jing escape his clutches, which is why we came into conflict with him."

By this time, Jiang Anbang had already realized.

He had made a huge blunder.

However, Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun, considering his feelings, had deliberately shifted the focus to the City Square project.

To prove thereby.

That his leg and two ribs were not broken in vain!

That he was not a complete fool!

This was a tacit understanding!

Jiang Anbang took a deep breath!

He gritted his teeth!

"I never imagined that Li Zhongling's son could be so lawless.

This matter must be pursued to the very end!

No matter how deep the other party's background is, we must give society an explanation."

Xing Zhijun said with a serious expression, "I will establish a Special Case Group to investigate Li Tian. A Reporter surnamed Meng provided a lead that there is a homicide case involving Li Tian."

Jiang Anbang widened his eyes in disbelief, "He actually dared to kill someone! Investigate further; it must be investigated to the end. Also, we must find out whether Li Zhongling's hands are clean!"

Jiang Anbang gasped.

Fortunately, this problem was discovered before the transfer of the City Square; if these problems had broken out after the project was signed.

The City Square would very likely have become the focus of national attention once again.

As for himself, as the person in charge of this project, he would certainly be held accountable.

Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun exchanged a glance.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

With Jiang Anbang's support, they could now proceed to investigate the Hongling Group.

Xing Zhijun had a new perspective on Tang Ye.

He had grasped Jiang Anbang's mindset very well.

When reporting the work, he shifted the focus to the conflicts of interest in the City Square project.

This could reduce the sense of grievance Jiang Anbang felt from being beaten for no reason.

Moreover, Jiang Anbang was very cooperative, going with the flow to accept this explanation.

……

After Xing Zhijun and Tang Ye left the hospital room.

Jiang Anbang's expression changed from the calmness he had just shown to anger.

He looked at his broken leg in a plaster cast, feeling incomparably depressed.

That dog of a man, Li Zhongling!

He pretended to be kind and benevolent in front of him, but behind his back, he raised a puppy that bites everyone.

Li Zhongling's first pot of gold was not that clean.

He had originally thought he had turned over a new leaf.

But he hadn't expected.

His son had exposed the deep-rooted evils of the Hongling Group.

……

Tang Ye left together with Xing Zhijun.

Just as they exited the elevator and walked into the parking lot, they got a mobile signal.

The phone rang, and Xing Zhijun hurriedly answered it.

"Boss, someone here at the City People's Hospital is trying to forcibly take Han Jing away."

"You must protect Reporter Han well."

After hanging up the phone, Xing Zhijun remarked to Tang Ye with emotion.

"Just as you predicted, Li Tian arranged for people to go to the high-end ward of the City People's Hospital, wanting to forcibly take Han Jing away. Fortunately, our people were deployed in place ahead of time."

A grave look appeared in Tang Ye's eyes as he reminded him, "Old Xing, County Magistrate Jiang has already supported you in investigating this case further. You must be mentally prepared; if this case is investigated, it will uncover many things..."

Xing Zhijun laughed heartily, "You underestimate me! When it comes to matters of principle, I will absolutely not cut corners."

Tang Ye also had a certain understanding of Xing Zhijun.

Xing Zhijun was a smart man with a very keen sense of smell!

Clearly.

He had smelled the scent of a major case!
