Chapter 829: Li Zhewen Attacked and Seriously Injured!

After Tang Ye started work, he brewed a cup of tea.

He received a call from Teacher Wu Chunming.

He recommended a child from the countryside.

This child was the leader of the children at the village primary school.

The family's conditions were very poor, but the child was lively and cheerful.

Subsequently, he took the initiative to call Fang Chengxin to report on the progress of the preparations for the "Exchange Starry Sky" program.

"After the production team returned to Huai Province, they immediately finalized the program content; they have already selected the participating families and children, and will arrange for the team to come and record next week."

"Secretary Liu has always been very concerned about this matter and even requested the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department to cooperate with the production team's recording work."

"Mm, I will relay this news to the production team."

Fang Chengxin did not know why he mentioned to Tang Ye that Dayu County was going to add a Deputy County Magistrate position.

Tang Ye did not express an opinion.

Qiao Lin was originally a candidate with high support, but he did not even make it onto the candidate list.

The outside world was all saying that Qiao Lin had offended Tang Ye.

In fact, Tang Ye had never paid any attention to Qiao Lin at all.

Qiao Lin could not be considered very bad, but because he was too slick, Tang Ye had no impression of him.

However, Jiang Anbang trusted Qiao Lin quite a bit; recently, Jiang Anbang had been recuperating from his injuries, and Tang Ye and Qiao Lin's opportunities for contact had also increased.

Although Qiao Lin had been signaling his goodwill to him, Tang Ye had always kept his distance from Qiao Lin.

The magnetic fields between people are fated; some people are naturally mutually repellent.

"During this recent period, Secretary Liu has raised criticisms and requirements for Zhangping County at many meetings, and the Organization Department is currently sorting out the personnel situation in Zhangping County."

Fang Chengxin chatted about the situation in the neighboring county in passing.

It was mainly to tell Tang Ye that regarding the case of Meng Haibo, the Municipal Party Committee had not given up and was still actively pushing it forward.

Government operations are more complex than one imagines.

It is impossible to immediately launch a Rectification Movement just because one feels there is a problem.

Adjustments in officialdom emphasize the doctrine of the mean!

Most of the time, one must use relatively gentle methods to handle things step by step.

This can ensure the stability of social order.

……

Not long after hanging up the phone, Tang Ye received a call from Xing Zhijun.

"Are you at the County Government at noon?"

"I am, is something the matter?"

"Mm, I'll have lunch with you; we can chat while we eat."

"Alright."

When Tang Ye arrived at the cafeteria's private room, several dishes were already laid out on the table.

Xing Zhijun had already been waiting inside; seeing him enter, he stood up, and only after Tang Ye sat down did he sit back down himself.

"Just eat something casual for lunch, there's no need to make it so sumptuous," Tang Ye said with some surprise.

"It's just a few dishes." Xing Zhijun knew that Tang Ye did not drink alcohol at noon, so he poured a cup of tea for Tang Ye.

Tang Ye picked up a few mouthfuls of food and asked, "Any new discoveries?"

Xing Zhijun nodded and said, "Subordinates reported that there has been a major movement in the Zhangping territory of Julong Mountain—twenty-five privately opened mine shafts appeared overnight."

"How did so many mine shafts appear all of a sudden?"

Xing Zhijun sighed: "According to the clues currently grasped, these mine shafts were all opened privately by the Hongling Group."

Tang Ye frowned and remained silent.

Xing Zhijun knew about Tang Ye's relationship with the Hongling Group.

"Their confidentiality work is done very thoroughly; they surround the mine shafts tightly during the day.

It is only around two or three in the morning that they let transport vehicles enter to haul the ore."

"Does the government not investigate?"

"They turn a blind eye."

Tang Ye was thoughtful, "The Hongling Group just suffered a major blow; I don't think they could be that crazy."

Xing Zhijun said disapprovingly:

"Li Zhongling's daughter is a returnee who studied abroad; I originally thought she was different.

I didn't expect her to be as greedy as Li Zhongling, not walking the righteous path."

Tang Ye remarked with emotion: "Since you have received the news here, the city will also know; the city will definitely take countermeasures."

Subsequently, he changed the subject, "By the way. I just communicated with Department Head Fang Chengxin; there will be personnel changes in Zhangping County soon."

Xing Zhijun's eyes lit up.

Generally speaking, personnel changes often mean that there is going to be a major move.

"It seems Secretary Liu is determined to govern Zhangping County this time. However, the problems in Zhangping County cannot be solved by adjusting cadres alone."

The two were chatting while eating when Xing Zhijun's cell phone suddenly rang.

"What?

Is Li Zhewen's injury serious?

Have the people who attacked him been caught?

What are you all doing!"

"Didn't I emphasize to you all that you must control the situation and protect the mine's staff?"

Seeing that Xing Zhijun's mood was off, Tang Ye hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Xing Zhijun set his phone aside and said in a deep voice, "News came from Hongyue Township that while Li Zhewen was conducting research, he was suddenly attacked by a villager and fainted on the spot."

"How could it end up like this!"

"The scene was very chaotic at the time; in order to protect Li Zhewen and apprehend the attacker, the police and the villagers got into a physical altercation."

Tang Ye had actually anticipated long ago that once mining operations began at Julong Mountain, it would certainly trigger many problems.

As the saying goes, people die for wealth, just as birds die for food.

A five-billion-dollar cake is sitting right there; who wouldn't want to take a bite?

But he clearly hadn't expected things to escalate so severely.

"The top priority is to treat Captain Li with all our efforts.

In addition, you must ensure the safety of the other staff members; there can be no more mishaps."

The General Commander of the mining area construction had been attacked and seriously injured.

Next, the provincial and municipal authorities would certainly hold people accountable;

with such a major incident occurring, the project schedule would also be delayed.

Thinking of this.

The food lost its flavor.

Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun both suddenly lost their appetites and slammed their chopsticks onto the table.

Afterward, the two of them went together to the County People's Hospital.

……

In the ward, Li Zhewen lay on the hospital bed, his head wrapped in thick gauze, with traces of blood still visible seeping through the bandages.

Seeing Tang Ye enter, Li Zhewen managed to squeeze a smile onto his face: "County Magistrate Tang, Captain Xing, I'm fine, it's just a little skin wound on my head!"

Tang Ye said: "I have already inquired clearly with the doctor; it's not that simple—you have a blood clot in your brain and must stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time!"

"Sigh, for something like this to happen, it is truly too vile!" Xing Zhijun said indignantly from the side, "Rest assured, we will definitely investigate the culprit strictly and will certainly give you an explanation."

Li Zhewen frowned and said: "That group of villagers said that we disturbed their ancestral graves and ruined the feng shui while we were surveying.

I stood up to explain a few words, and someone came from behind me and hit me with a club.

I suspect these villagers were incited by someone."

"The person who attacked you is named Zhang Tao, and he hasn't been caught yet. According to the preliminary information gathered, he has a prior record of fighting and causing injury," Xing Zhijun said with a frown.

Tang Ye rubbed his chin: "Have you investigated Zhang Tao's social connections?"

Xing Zhijun said: "The files show that Zhang Tao has worked at Hongling Group for many years. Hongling Group is currently operating illegal mines. If the regular force enters, it will certainly affect their interests, so Hongling Group is highly suspicious!"

Tang Ye sensed the scent of a Hidden Plot in Xing Zhijun's words!

It was very likely that Zhang Tao was acting under the instigation of Hongling Group to attack Li Zhewen!

However.

Tang Ye did not immediately characterize the matter.

Because he knew that this affair was not as simple as Xing Zhijun thought.
