Chapter 819: Zhang Lin and Liang Shiyu Conspire!

~7 min read 1,341 words

Watching the two cars drive away, Wang Kang was so angry that he kicked over a traffic cone on the road.

The others were so frightened they looked at each other, not daring to let out a single breath.

Wang Kang quickly regained his composure and dialed Liang Shiyu's number.

"I couldn't stop them. The Municipal Party Secretary gave the order personally, demanding we let them pass."

I didn't expect this group to have such significant influence!

Hearing that the Municipal Party Secretary had intervened, Liang Shiyu's heart skipped a beat; he furrowed his brows and said, "County Magistrate Wang, I've troubled you."

Wang Kang's tone was somewhat impatient, "Regardless of whether Meng Haibo's situation is related to you, there are clearly many fingers pointing at you now; there must be a result."

Liang Shiyu understood what Wang Kang meant, "County Magistrate Wang, I can't just fabricate a result for you."

Wang Kang explained, "The mine disaster at Xiaowo Mine is already a closed case. Now, the other side is using the investigation into Meng Haibo's injury as a pretext, so as long as you hand over one person and explain this case clearly, the matter will naturally pass."

Liang Shiyu sighed helplessly, "I know what to do."

……

After hanging up on Wang Kang, Liang Shiyu dialed Hao Hongbiao's number.

"Come to my office."

Hao Hongbiao pushed the door open and entered shortly after.

Liang Shiyu pointed to the seat in front of him, "Sit!"

Hao Hongbiao sat opposite Liang Shiyu, "Was the problem not resolved? You look quite serious."

Liang Shiyu tapped the desktop, "Zhang Gang's family members have already been transferred to Dayu County. They were originally stopped at the highway entrance, but the Municipal Party Secretary stepped in and demanded they be released."

Hao Hongbiao shuddered, "How did the Municipal Party Secretary get involved?"

Liang Shiyu waved his hand and sighed, "You don't need to know the specific reason. Now, we must arrange for someone to suppress the matter regarding Meng Haibo. That way, the other side won't have a reason to keep pestering us."

A look of smugness appeared at the corner of Hao Hongbiao's mouth, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements."

Liang Shiyu asked, "Is this person trustworthy?"

Hao Hongbiao guaranteed with absolute confidence,

"This unlucky scapegoat has cancer and won't live much longer.

I will give him a large sum of money and promise to pay for his daughter to finish university.

If he dares to play any tricks, I can use his daughter to threaten him."

Liang Shiyu nodded slightly, "Fine, I'll leave this matter to you to handle. I don't want to see any more complications."

Hao Hongbiao nodded with a smile, "Rest assured."

……

After Hao Hongbiao left the office, Liang Shiyu also walked out.

He arrived at the entrance of the office building and then took a car to a private club.

About half an hour later, Zhang Lin walked in from outside with a serious expression.

Seeing Zhang Lin, Liang Shiyu's face was full of smiles, "County Magistrate Zhang, you seem to be in a bad mood!"

Zhang Lin said angrily, "Boss Liang, I've told you many times, you must have a sense of awe when doing things. In the underworld, you can't just rely on fighting and killing; you have to use your brain."

Liang Shiyu played dumb, "County Magistrate Zhang, I have always been very low-key and cautious in my actions!"

Zhang Lin snorted.

"Although Meng Haibo doesn't have much of a background, he is a reporter for the Yanzhou Evening News and represents the image and face of the Government. If you strike him down, the Government will certainly take it seriously.

Tang Ye bypassed the chain of command and reported this to the Municipal Party Secretary, who is furious and has already ordered the Municipal Public Security Bureau to form a Special Case Investigation Team; they must catch the real culprit within three days."

Liang Shiyu still did not yield, "County Magistrate Zhang, I assure you, I am a law-abiding businessman and will absolutely not cross the red line of the law. The Municipal Public Security Bureau will surely have results soon, and this matter will settle down quickly."

In Liang Shiyu's view, Zhang Lin was being overly anxious.

Zhang Lin said softly, "Has Li Na from the Hongling Group contacted you?"

Liang Shiyu nodded slightly, "That's right, under your arrangement, Li Na has already taken the bait!"

Zhang Lin smiled eerily, "Li Na is a woman who is both very beautiful and very smart."

Liang Shiyu's smile carried a hint of hatred.

"Li Na and I were high school classmates, and I know her personality well. Once upon a time, she treated me like a dog and toyed with me.

She surely wouldn't imagine that, as she is now, she is actually just a pawn on your and my chessboard!"

Zhang Lin picked up the wine glass on the table and clinked it with Liang Shiyu's.

"Boss Liang, here's to our pleasant cooperation!"

"Mm, cheers!"

……

After returning to Dayu County.

Tang Ye settled Zhang Gang's wife, daughter, and parents into the County Reception House.

Arriving in a new environment, they were somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Especially Zhang Gang's wife, who was mentally unstable and appeared particularly sensitive.

Tang Ye suddenly discovered that Zhang Gang's wife could write her own name, and the handwriting was quite elegant, so he asked Zhang Qian softly, "Is your mother a local?"

Zhang Qian hesitated, but after struggling internally, she said, "My mom is actually a college student. Before my dad passed away, she would occasionally be clear-headed and even teach us how to read."

Tang Ye asked, "How did your mother and father meet? Where is your mother's home?"

Zhang Qian said, "My mom said her home is in Guangdong Province. Before she married my dad, she had been married once before, and after that person passed away, she married my dad. My dad was always very good to my mom."

Tang Ye knew there must be hidden circumstances behind the origin of Zhang Qian's mother.

After parting ways with Zhang Qian, he found Ma Ran.

"Although Zhang Qian's mother has mental issues, she seems to have received an education. She doesn't have an ID card; find a way to look into it and see if you can find out where she came from."

Ma Ran realized, "Could she have been abducted and sold here?"

Tang Ye said, "Regardless of whether she was abducted and sold, since we have encountered this, we cannot stand by and watch."

Ma Ran nodded and said, "Alright, leave this matter to me."

The following afternoon.

Tang Ye returned to the County Party Committee Compound after attending an enterprise research survey.

Not long after, Xing Zhijun walked in.

"There is already a conclusion regarding the matter of Meng Haibo. After the working group organized by the Municipal Public Security Bureau entered Zhangping County, someone quickly turned themselves in, claiming to be the culprit who harmed Meng Haibo."

Tang Ye took the report handed over by Xing Zhijun, his brows furrowed tightly, "Classified as robbery? It is obviously illogical."

A look of helplessness appeared on Xing Zhijun's face.

"A dog's carcass was dug up in the suspect's backyard, proving that the dog was the primary culprit that bit Meng Haibo.

Additionally, psychiatric medication was found in his home.

He stated that it was 'obedient water' he bought online, originally intending to make Meng Haibo reveal his bank password, but he did not expect the dosage to be too high, causing him to fall into a coma directly.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, both human witnesses and physical evidence are complete..."

A cold look appeared in Tang Ye's eyes, "Old Xing, we must not let this matter be easily brushed aside."

Xing Zhijun nodded slightly,

"I have already arranged for people to enter Zhangping County to collect more clues.

They have done so many bad things.

The fox's tail certainly cannot be hidden..."
