Chapter 847: The Softest-Boned Parasite!

"Zhang Lin, you didn't lose to me!

You lost your faith, and lost your way!

You lost to the greed deep within your own heart!"

Tang Ye corrected him, hitting the nail on the head.

It felt good to scold him!

Zhang Lin might not be the most corrupt, but his backbone was definitely the softest!

Those who can be selected for cadre exchange are by no means ordinary people!

Zhang Lin must have stepped into officialdom carrying aspirations.

Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment, then self-deprecatingly said: "Yes, you are right. I truly forgot my original intention.

I came to Yanzhou originally to showcase my talent and fulfill my ambitions, but I didn't expect that under the offensive of sugar-coated bullets, I would eventually forget my dreams. It is mainly because I am unwilling to accept it in my heart—why can they be so rich, live a life of debauchery, and ignore the law?

While I can only live a life of routine, as tasteless as drinking plain water!"

Tang Ye sighed: "Confess everything you know. You have worked in Zhangping County for so long, you should be clear about the tricks inside."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Lin's mouth: "The economic situation in Dayu County is terrible; there are no truly rich people. If you were in my position, I'm afraid you would be corrupted just the same. Can you imagine what kind of organization Guohong Group is? Even a small fry like Hao Hongbiao is particular about his status when he goes out, riding in luxury cars, living a life of debauchery, with a net worth of over one hundred million."

Tang Ye said: "People are different. If I were in your position, I wouldn't envy them; instead, I would draw a clear line between them and myself."

Zhang Lin sneered: "That's easy to say! If you really became me, you would definitely be caught by them at your weak point. Luxury cars, beautiful women, money, and power—as long as you ask for them, they will take the initiative to deliver them to your door."

Tang Ye looked at Zhang Lin with contempt: "It really disappoints me that you can say such things. Even if you didn't have problems this time, you would sooner or later stumble somewhere else!"

Zhang Lin looked at Tang Ye with a complex expression.

Tang Ye's words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the depths of his soul.

He once did not believe that there was anyone in this world who could remain untainted while emerging from the mud.

However, Tang Ye could indeed do it.

Because his goal was very clear: to pursue political achievements and pursue promotion in rank!

This is a ruthless person who can cut off material and physical desires for the sake of rising high!

Tang Ye turned and left the office.

Zhang Lin looked at the paper and pen placed in front of him and slapped himself twice in anger.

Tears of remorse dripped onto the paper along his cheeks.

In fact, he had long had a premonition that his affairs would eventually be exposed, yet he still couldn't resist the temptation.

Liang Shiyu's criminal gang was just a group of ignorant thugs; why should they be able to possess a fortune of over one hundred million?

He held such great power in his hands, yet he could only receive a meager salary every month.

With an unbalanced mindset, he fell into the abyss step by step.

Zhang Lin wiped away his tears, a look of determination appearing in his eyes.

This world has always followed the jungle law of the survival of the fittest.

He was now a total failure; He Haiyang would never use resources for him;

As for his father-in-law, he would be even less likely to pull him up at this time.

He would only push all the responsibility onto him so that Ding Tong could escape unscathed.

His only chance now was to confess the situation he grasped truthfully and return as much of the embezzled funds as possible; this way, he might be able to spend a few fewer years in prison.

A staff member pushed the door open and walked in, seeing Zhang Lin writing furiously on the paper. After taking the confession he had written, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Immediately, he hurriedly reported to his superior department: "After meeting with Tang Ye, Zhang Lin has given up struggling and has begun to confess the crimes he committed in Zhangping County."

"Is that so? I didn't expect Tang Ye's words to be so effective. You must keep a close eye on Zhang Lin, and especially pay attention to protecting his safety."

"Don't worry, we will not leave his side."

Zhang Lin held too much key information!

Once the outside world heard the news, they might take lethal action against him!

That would be a major dereliction of duty!

Under Zhang Lin's confession, the truth about the distorted mining development in Zhangping County gradually surfaced.

After Liu Mingyuan received Zhang Lin's confession materials, he fell into deep thought.

He had long known that the problems in Zhangping County were not simple.

But he hadn't expected it to be this serious.

Guohong Group was merely a false facade used by the criminal gang to whitewash their identities, and the gang involved in organized crime led by Liang Shiyu was finally completely exposed. Liu Mingyuan made an instruction on the document: "At all costs, eradicate the evil completely!"

Overnight!

Zhangping County was in a state of panic, and many wealthy bosses were apprehended at their homes.

"I didn't expect the government's determination to be so great this time, arresting so many mine bosses!"

"What kind of damn mine bosses, they all made their fortunes by secretly opening private mines!"

"These people are too bold; they actually poisoned a reporter from the Yanzhou Evening News into a vegetative state, and they dared to kill people in broad daylight in a busy city! If they aren't dealt with, this world is too dark."

Fang Zhenggang arrived at the Municipal Committee Compound and, guided by the Secretary Ji Hai, walked into Liu Mingyuan's office.

Liu Mingyuan's voice was not loud, but every sentence was deafening: "Comrade Zhenggang, the situation in Zhangping County is completely out of control, and someone must take responsibility."

"Secretary Mingyuan, with such a big problem, I cannot shirk the blame. I apply to resign from the position of Secretary of the Zhangping County Party Committee and accept the investigation of the Discipline Inspection Department."

Liu Mingyuan knew he was retreating to advance, and sighed: "We have worked together for many years, and I know you very well. You have always wanted to change the status quo, but you faced too much resistance. This time, be decisive in solving the problem. There are serious omissions in the work of the County Government, and we must be determined to rectify them; this is also a requirement clearly issued to me by the provincial leaders."

Fang Zhenggang sighed helplessly: "I will actively rectify according to your instructions."

Leaving the Municipal Party Secretary's office, Fang Zhenggang's steps were heavy.

Out of consideration for regional stability, Liu Mingyuan did not directly remove him from his post, but the Deputy County Magistrate in charge of public security and the Executive Deputy County Magistrate were being investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission!

As for the County Magistrate... he was likely doomed.

Fang Zhenggang truly wanted to resign from his post.

At this moment, his heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

Inside the office of the Deputy Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department.

The Secretary walked in holding a document: "Minister Zhao, news has come from Yanzhou that a major disciplinary and legal violation has occurred involving a Two-Province Exchange Cadre."

Upon hearing this, Minister Zhao's scalp instantly went numb.

His first reaction was: it wouldn't have anything to do with Tang Ye, would it?

In his impression, Tang Ye had always been closely linked to Yanzhou—Tang Ye was an advanced model who had appeared in work briefings many times; if he had run into trouble, wouldn't that prove that all the previous briefings had become a joke?

"Is it Tang Ye who has had an incident?"

"No, it is another Exchange Cadre; he is Zhang Lin, who was exchanged to Zhangping County."

Zhang Lin?

Minister Zhao had no impression of this name at all.

He took the document with a serious expression, and after reading it, he slapped the desk in anger.

"That such scum could actually become an Exchange Cadre! It is truly despicable!"

These words clearly had a pointed meaning.

He was cursing!

The person who had put Zhang Lin on the list!
