Chapter 909: Dragged into a Scandal!

The next morning, as soon as Shen Yuping arrived at work, she received a call from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

—Notifying her to head to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to undergo questioning.

Shen Yuping noted the other party's choice of words; it was not "investigation," but "questioning."

The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection investigation team asked questions in great detail, centering on the contents of the anonymous tip-off letter.

The entire questioning process lasted for nearly two full hours.

"Alright, we have learned enough, you may go."

"I may go?"

Shen Yuping was truly quite surprised.

She had not expected the matter to be this simple.

"Yes, we were just conducting routine questioning to understand the situation. If there is a need later on, we will contact you again."

"Understood!"

Shen Yuping let out a long sigh of relief.

Being summoned by the Discipline Inspection Commission did not necessarily mean there was a problem.

As it stood now, it was mostly just going through the motions.

A staff member handed over a plastic bag.

Inside were her mobile phone, wallet, and other personal items.

Shen Yuping walked out of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection office building and could not help but take a deep breath, secretly thinking to herself: fortunately, she had always acted with integrity and had a clear conscience; if it were someone with a guilty heart, they probably would not have been able to withstand such pressure at all.

Just as she regained her composure, her phone rang.

It was Tang Ye calling.

"County Magistrate Shen, I am sorry, I have caused you to be wronged."

Shen Yuping responded with a bitter smile: "Secretary Tang, it is truly ridiculous when you think about it; I am nearly forty years old, and yet I have been dragged into a scandalous affair."

Tang Ye's tone was full of helplessness: "County Magistrate Shen, the innocent will clear themselves. Rest assured, I believe the organization will absolutely not easily let off those who have falsely accused and slandered us."

"Thank you for your comfort."

"You are welcome; this matter originated because of me in the first place."

After hanging up on Tang Ye, the phone rang again immediately; it was her husband, Li Fuxiang, calling.

"Yuping, are you alright? I heard you were taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission."

"I am fine." Shen Yuping asked back with a smile, "Do you not trust me?"

"Of course I trust you," Li Fuxiang's laughter came through the receiver, "Of course, I also trust Secretary Tang."

"You! I have been wronged by others, and you are still making such jokes!" Shen Yuping sighed helplessly.

Li Fuxiang put away his joking tone and said understandingly: "As a female cadre, the difficulty of achieving success in officialdom is inherently greater than for others. Wife, rest assured, I will always trust you and support you."

Hearing this, Shen Yuping's eyes could not help but moisten: "Husband, thank you. Even if the whole world questions me, I do not care, as long as you can understand me, that is enough."

After hanging up on Shen Yuping, a gratified smile appeared on the corner of Li Fuxiang's mouth.

In fact, some rumors had reached his ears before, but he had never taken them to heart.

He knew his wife too well; she had a firm stance and was a female cadre with aspirations and a bottom line.

On the other side, after hanging up on Shen Yuping.

Anger instantly appeared on Tang Ye's face.

The anonymous report had actually dragged Shen Yuping, Han Jing, Huang Sitian, and himself all together.

To tell the truth, the other party's methods were not very damaging, but they were extremely insulting.

The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection released Shen Yuping after questioning her, partly to clarify the facts and prove that the contents of the anonymous materials were purely groundless;

On the other hand, it also provided a reason to open a case to investigate the person who submitted the anonymous materials and maliciously framed them.

Inside the Jinjun office building.

Hai Bin lit a cigarette and took a few slow puffs.

Zhong Leng stepped forward to report the "results":

"Yesterday Tang Ye was called in for a talk by the Municipal Party Secretary, and today Shen Yuping was summoned by the Discipline Inspection Commission; the anonymous materials are still quite effective."

A cold sneer curled the corner of Hai Bin's mouth: "This kind of material has no substantive evidence, so it is indeed impossible to make him lose his official hat. But it does not matter; submitting it every once in a while is enough to make him sit on pins and needles."

Zhong Leng immediately stated: "I will arrange this regularly!"

As soon as the words fell, the desk phone rang.

Hai Bin picked up the receiver, and the receptionist's voice came from the other end: "Boss, people from the Municipal Public Security Bureau are here, asking if Manager Zhong is at work."

Hai Bin's eyes widened abruptly: "Public Security Bureau?"

"Yes, I could not stop them; they have already come upstairs."

Hai Bin hung up the phone, his expression turning extremely ugly in an instant.

Zhong Leng sensed something was wrong and asked softly: "What is it?"

Hai Bin said in a deep voice: "The receptionist said the police have come to the door; they are here for you."

Zhong Leng was full of surprise: "What is this about?"

Hai Bin's face was dark: "I am not sure, this matter is a bit tricky; I did not receive any wind of it at all."

Zhong Leng sighed lightly: "I also have a bad premonition."

Hai Bin stared at Zhong Leng and suddenly asked: "A-Leng, how have I treated you usually?"

"Your kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain; without you, there would be no me today," Zhong Leng answered without hesitation.

"It is good that you understand in your heart." Haibin's gaze carried expectation, waiting for him to express his stance further.

"Boss, rest assured, I know what should be said and what should not be said." Zhong Leng gritted his teeth and added, "However, I must ask you to take good care of my family."

Haibin nodded in promise: "I will properly arrange for the schooling and future employment of your two children; your wife's job will also absolutely not be affected by this matter."

Zhong Leng said no more and turned to return to his office. Just as he sat down, the door was pushed open directly.

He stood up with a calm expression: "Do you all have some business?"

"Zhong Leng, we suspect you are involved in a case, please come with us." The leading Police officer revealed the arrest warrant in his hand and said in a deep voice.

Zhong Leng slowly stood up: "Comrade Police, I will cooperate with your work."

Subsequently, Zhong Leng was escorted into a Police car, taken to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and arranged into a room.

The room was not large, and there was no one inside.

He did not know that, separated by a window, several people were observing him through one-way glass.

"That's right, he is the one who made us deliver the materials!"

"I also remember clearly, he has a large mole below the corner of his mouth!"

"He gave me five hundred yuan; I only earn a little over one hundred yuan for a day of masonry work, so I didn't think much at the time and agreed."

So that was it!

The several people who delivered the anonymous materials had already been found yesterday.

They were all migrant workers, and after the investigation team learned they were hired by someone, they inquired in detail about the characteristics of the employer.

The characteristics described by the several people were consistent!

A man with a large mole at the corner of his mouth had paid them to do the task.

After Tang Ye learned of this lead, he immediately provided a key piece of intelligence to the investigation team.

He had conducted an investigation into several of the lackeys around Haibin.

Among them was one named Zhong Leng, who happened to have a large mole at the corner of his mouth.

Now that the migrant workers saw Zhong Leng through the glass, they recognized him immediately!
