Chapter 90: Absurd and Filthy Diary!

The County Public Security Bureau was brightly lit.

Tang Ye sat on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest his mind.

There was movement at the door, so he opened his eyes.

Wan Ming held his head high and chest out as he handed a black plastic bag to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye flipped through it; besides photographs, there was also a diary.

Wan Ming took off his police cap and crossed his legs.

"This bastard Zhu Ming loves to write diaries and loves to take photos. Every time he successfully hunts for beauty, he records the story. Of course, he doesn't just write his own stories; he also writes Wei Jian's. Although they aren't as detailed or exciting as his own, they can serve as evidence to ruin Wei Jian's reputation."

Tang Ye flipped through the photos, secretly thinking that Zhu Ming's photography skills were quite good, and wondered if he would have sold the photos for money.

As for Zhu Ming's diary entries, they appeared vulgar and sloppy.

"April 6, 2002: Played with the camera, reached a new level, will play well until I'm old from now on. As for playing with women, finally played, played with Xiao Chen again, and am playing with Cao Fang regularly. There's also a Xiao Yao waiting to be played. I really hit a peach blossom streak this year; with so many women, I need to watch my health."

"August 5, 2002: Around ten o'clock, Xiao Chen pulled me to her place, played three times. She's getting married on the 8th and still wants to play with me; this girl is really too wild. Early in the morning, Xiao Chen sent me back, and at noon, I served Wei County Magistrate as he went to the Education Bureau to inspect work."

Besides this, there was also the process of corruption and bribery.

"September 6, 2004: At noon, Guo Chen called me to eat at the Guijing Hotel. Just the two of us; he gave me two bottles of Moutai and 50,000 yuan. I deposited 30,000 and took 20,000 back. Guo said that Wei County Magistrate had already been signaled, estimated that he was given at least 500,000..."

"November 6, 2004: In the evening, Wei County Magistrate brought me, Gui Ge, and Director Ding of the Land Bureau to eat together. Wei County Magistrate signaled to Guo Chen that he would pay the 5 million yuan registration fee to ensure the land was obtained, and we drank quite a bit."

The heart Tang Ye had been holding in his throat finally settled.

"No wonder Zhu Ming was so confident he could bring Wei County Magistrate down completely; no wonder Wei County Magistrate was so nervous that he didn't hesitate to order Guo Chuan to go to war with you to snatch people. This person named Guo Chen needs to be investigated thoroughly."

Wan Ming's eyes were full of coldness.

"It's hard to believe that this group of people looks so respectable on the surface, yet they are so absurd and filthy behind the scenes."

The further he read, the more his scalp tingled!

At this moment, a cell phone rang.

Tang Ye answered the call from Du Chengfeng and hurriedly reported, "Wan Ming personally rushed to Zhu Ming's hometown and has already found the evidence. I have already looked at the evidence; it is shocking and makes one shudder."

Du Chengfeng sighed slightly, "I had Comrade Lin Guoyuan keep a close watch on Wei Jian. I didn't expect him to disguise himself as a woman to try and shake off surveillance, staging a farce. Now he has been controlled by the local police comrades. This is great; Tianling has lost face all the way to the Capital."

Tang Ye comforted him softly, "Secretary, only with the courage to cut off the flesh can the wound be completely healed."

Du Chengfeng walked to the window, looked at the night scene outside, and ordered, "You participated in this whole affair and have a special understanding of the process. You go through the trouble of writing an explanatory document, and I will hand it to Secretary Zhou first thing tomorrow morning. The document should be written like this: you received an anonymous letter saying that Zhu Ming was acting as an umbrella for the Northeast Chamber of Commerce and provided evidence. You felt the matter was suspicious, and because it involved government staff, you did not dare to act without authorization, so you called to ask for my instructions. All subsequent actions were handled under my direction."

It seemed he feared Tang Ye would not understand his painstaking efforts.

Du Chengfeng said in a gentle voice, "You are still very young, with spirit and a sense of justice. But you cannot wantonly break the rules of the game, because you are still too weak. If you want to go further and stand higher, you must have a sense of self-preservation before that; you cannot just blindly charge forward."

"Thank you for the reminder, Secretary."

Tang Ye knew that on one hand, Du Chengfeng was blaming him for not communicating in advance, which allowed the conflict to escalate completely.

On the other hand, he was protecting him.

Involving higher-level maneuvering was no longer something a Deputy Section Level official could participate in.

Wei Jian was a favorite of Mayor Xiao.

If Tang Ye were pushed to the front, he might be fine for the moment, but in the long run, it would bury the seeds of disaster for his future.

Du Chengfeng cherished talent and did not want Tang Ye to become a sacrifice in the struggle.

"Secretary, I didn't expect to involve you. Will Mayor Xiao have an opinion about you?"

Du Chengfeng's tone became serious and firm, and he said indifferently, "The conflict between Wei Jian and me hasn't been a matter of just one or two days. Even if I don't explain these things, others will still think I was hiding in the shadows, directing all of this."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ye sat at Wan Ming's desk and wrote like the wind. It took him two hours to write a three-thousand-word document, and then he called Du Chengfeng.

Du Chengfeng had not yet left work.

Tang Ye delivered the document.

Du Chengfeng took the document and read it carefully twice, thinking to himself, he is worthy of being a Top Scorer; his writing is good, and he has grasped the sense of proportion very well.

"It's getting late, hurry back."

"Secretary, you should also rest early!"

Tang Ye left the Government Compound, turned back to look at the lit window, and a warm current rose in his heart.

He had not chosen the wrong "big shot" to rely on.

At a critical moment, Du Chengfeng was willing to stand at the front to block the storm!

Having this attitude was enough!

Du Chengfeng put the document and evidence into a file bag, lit a cigarette, and finished it slowly, puff by puff. A faint arc hid in the corner of his mouth, and he spat out a barely audible word of praise.

"You brat, I didn't expect you to have not only super creativity but also terrifying destructive power. You've surprised me."

The next morning, Du Chengfeng went to the Municipal Party Committee early to report on the investigation into the illegal and undisciplined behavior of Zhu Ming, the Director of the County Government Office, and presented the evidence he had obtained.

Zhou Chengwu immediately notified the Secretariat to convene an emergency meeting. Of the thirteen Standing Committee Members, nine were present.

The remaining four Standing Committee Members included those lobbying in Yanjing, those on inspection tours elsewhere, and those attending meetings at the provincial level.

At the meeting, Zhou Chengwu looked at Liu Bin, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary, and said softly, "Regarding the illegal and undisciplined behavior of Comrade Wei Jian, the County Magistrate of Tianling County, please make a report."

Liu Bin lifted the bridge of his glasses, "Last night, I received the order from Secretary Zhou, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection immediately arranged a working group and rushed to Yanjing overnight. Wei Jian was guilty and had already developed thoughts of fleeing. Fortunately, Comrade Lin Guoyuan was quite sharp and successfully prevented him from fleeing to avoid punishment."

Xiao Jingyu nodded with a heavy expression, "Our ranks have developed worms, especially in such important positions; it is worrying!"

Liu Bin paused for a moment, changed his tone, and said softly, "Wei Jian's situation is extremely egregious, and his illegal and undisciplined behavior is extremely serious; measures must be taken. However, the leadership team of Tianling is healthy as a whole, full of vitality and vigor. We cannot generalize; we cannot negate everyone's hard work because of one person's corruption.

In the process of sorting through the case, I discovered a young comrade who is quite good. Although he is only a Deputy Section Level official, when he encountered injustice, he dared to stand up and expose the darkness; this requires tremendous courage.

As far as I know, this young comrade has a strong sense of justice. When he was doing poverty alleviation work, he saw someone get into a car accident; he not only stood up and took the initiative to help contact the hospital but also paid for the medical expenses. Afterward, he not only helped the patient fight for compensation but also covered the food expenses for the patient and their family while the patient was hospitalized."

Xiao Jingyu was thoughtful and nodded gently, "This young comrade has indeed done very well and is worth learning from by everyone. Don't keep us in suspense; what is this comrade's name, and what position does he work in?"

A smile appeared on Liu Bin's usually stern face, "This comrade's name is Tang Ye, and he is a Seconded Official in the Municipal Party Committee Office."

Xiao Jingyu raised an eyebrow, "If the cadres sent down by the Municipal Party Committee can lead by example and hold themselves to strict standards—huh, the name sounds quite familiar."

At this moment, Zhao Disheng leaned toward Xiao Jingyu and whispered, "Mayor Xiao, the 3D investment promotion animation displayed by Tianling County at the City Investment Promotion Conference was produced by Comrade Tang Ye after he spent a great deal of time on it. You were particularly satisfied with it at the time, and I reported it to you..."
