Chapter 910: Hitting a Hard Plate with a Stubborn Head!

~8 min read 1,465 words

Zhong Leng was taken away by the Police for investigation at the company.

Because Zhong Leng knew many of his secrets, Hai Bin wanted to rescue him.

Consequently, he contacted the Executive Vice Mayor of Yanzhou, Xie Zhan.

"Mayor Xie, I would like to ask for a favor. An employee at our company has run into a small problem. His name is Zhong Leng; is there any way you could find a way to get him released?"

"Boss Hai, you should think of other ways for this matter." Xie Zhan chose to refuse directly.

"Uh, isn't it just bailing someone out? Why is it so difficult?" Hai Bin was somewhat confused.

"I won't hide it from you, this matter was personally instructed by Secretary Liu; I am unable to help!"

"Secretary Liu? How did this matter alarm him?" Hai Bin was shocked.

"Because this incident involves Tang Ye—he is an Exchange Cadre who came from Huai Province and a model figure established by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. To smear him with such filth is a tactic too low-level and too despicable. Secretary Liu is very angry about this and has explicitly demanded a strict investigation."

Hanging up the phone, Hai Bin was completely stunned.

Originally, he just wanted to use anonymous materials to disgust Tang Ye.

He did not expect the matter to blow up so big that it actually alarmed the Municipal Party Secretary.

Although his uncle was an Executive Vice Governor, he dared not mention it to him.

His uncle had always been intolerant of any flaws, and if he knew he had caused such trouble, he certainly would not let him off lightly.

There was no other way; he could only swallow his broken teeth.

Zhong Leng, good brother, for now, I can only sacrifice you...

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Tang Ye got off work, and he headed straight back to his residence.

Just as he was about to open the door, a light suddenly shone from behind him.

He turned around.

He saw a woman walking slowly toward him under the illumination of car headlights.

"You are Comrade Tang Ye, right? Let me introduce myself; I am Huang Sitian's aunt, named Huang He."

Borrowing the light from the streetlamp, the woman's face gradually became clear in Tang Ye's eyes—she looked a bit familiar!

She was actually a leader from the province!

He quickly screened and compared information in his mind, finally confirming the other party's identity.

Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Huang He, known as the "Iron Lady"!

"Hello, Secretary Huang!"

A flash of surprise crossed Huang He's eyes, and she immediately smiled: "You recognize me?"

Tang Ye hurriedly explained: "Secretary Huang, as the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary, you often appear in media reports. Although there is a slight difference between you in person and in photos or on screen, I still recognized you. I didn't expect you to be Teacher Huang's aunt. Please, come in and sit!"

Huang He was quite satisfied with Tang Ye's explanation.

She was not sure if her niece had mentioned her identity to Tang Ye.

However.

With her experience, she did not see any signs of Tang Ye acting.

Tang Ye's heart was currently churning like a stormy sea.

He had had many exchanges with Huang Sitian and could tell her family background was good, but he never imagined it hid such an explosive background.

By comparison, he had hidden his identity as an Exchange Cadre,

Huang Sitian was the true master of playing the pig to eat the tiger!

Huang He walked into the room and looked it up and down.

There was no excessive or cluttered furniture in the room, yet it was kept spotless.

It was so clean it didn't look much like the residence of a single man.

"Secretary Huang, please have some tea."

Tang Ye brought over a cup of tea and respectfully handed it to Huang He.

Huang He took the teacup, took a sip, and then set it down: "I came to see you today in the capacity of Sitian's aunt; you don't need to be too constrained."

Tang Ye smiled and got straight to the point: "You are here for that anonymous complaint material, right?"

Huang He secretly praised Tang Ye for his quick reaction and nodded: "That's right, I was truly shocked when I saw that news."

Tang Ye explained: "Someone fabricated a scandal about me, which ended up implicating Teacher Huang instead. However, this matter has already been investigated, and the person who submitted the anonymous material has been arrested."

Huang He asked calmly: "Why did they want to do this?"

Tang Ye paused for a moment to organize his thoughts: "This matter is related to the No. 32 Plot on Heiniu Mountain. Someone wanted to use a Hidden Plot to seize this piece of land, but I felt it was inappropriate and raised objections at the meeting, which is why the other party retaliated against me."

"Why did you object?" Huang He pressed.

Tang Ye guessed that Huang He had likely already understood the cause and effect, but he still patiently explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail.

After listening, Huang He's eyes flickered, and she praised: "You were right to object!"

Tang Ye hurriedly added: "Secretary Huang, I know your concerns for this visit. I want to make it clear to you that Teacher Huang and I are just pure friends; there has absolutely been no behavior that crossed the line."

Huang He nodded slightly: "I know you are just friends. Sitian has mentioned you to me several times; I can see that she respects you very much. I have also looked into your actions in Dayu County; you have indeed done many practical things that benefit the common people."

Tang Ye was flattered: "Thank you for your recognition, Secretary Huang."

Huang He changed the subject: "Coming here this time, there is actually one more thing I would like to ask for your help with."

Tang Ye hurriedly replied: "Please, just give your orders!"

"When Sitian was very young, her father passed away due to illness, and she has always lived with me.

All along, I have treated her like my own daughter.

After she graduated, she chose to go to the Dayu Women's High School to teach as a volunteer, and I supported her decision.

But now, it seems she has bound herself here."

"I would like to ask you to help me persuade her if you have the chance."

"Perhaps, as a friend, you can help her broaden her perspective."

Tang Ye immediately understood what Huang He meant and nodded in response: "Alright, I will try to persuade her."

After finishing the serious business, Huang He stood up abruptly: "Alright, I won't disturb your rest any longer; I shall take my leave."

"Take care, Secretary Huang."

Tang Ye walked Huang He all the way to the door, and only after watching her get into the car and drive away did he secretly clench his fists.

He had originally thought the matter had come to an end, but he never expected such an unexpected surprise—

Who could have imagined that Teacher Huang had such a powerful backer behind her!

Haibin really hit a brick wall this time by spreading rumors about Huang!

Inside the car.

Huang He turned her head and looked at Tang Ye standing under the streetlamp, suddenly feeling a bit dazed.

She recalled a relationship of her own from years ago that had ended without result.

Her niece's current state seemed to be following the same trajectory as her own back then.

Shortly after, Huang He arrived at Dayu Women's High School and dialed Huang Sitian's phone number.

Huang Sitian never expected her aunt to visit suddenly and hurried over from the dormitory.

"Aunt, why are you here?"

"I came to see you." Huang He reached out and touched Huang Sitian's cheek, saying with heartache, "You've lost quite a bit of weight again."

Huang Sitian joked with a smile: "Isn't it better to be a little thinner and more energetic?"

The two returned to the dormitory first, and Huang Sitian introduced Huang He to her roommates.

The roommates did not know Huang He's true identity.

Afterwards, Huang Sitian accompanied Huang He to stay at a hotel.

After showering, Huang He lay on the bed and said softly to Huang Sitian: "The main reason I came to see you this time is because there is a matter that involves you."

Huang Sitian's face was full of surprise: "What matter?"

Huang He took out the complaint materials and handed them to her.

Huang Sitian took a rough look at them, and her cheeks instantly flushed red.

"This is complete nonsense!"
