Chapter 943: I Will Not Sit Idly By!

Since Zhong Leng passed away, in just a short time, Hu Ying had experienced too much of the fickleness of human relationships.

At this moment, she saw that Tang Ye's attitude was perfunctory; a look of disappointment appeared on her face, faintly revealing a hint of anger as well.

"My husband died mysteriously during interrogation. I couldn't react at the time, so I signed the papers, but now it's different. If the murderer isn't punished, I will report this to the province, or even the Central Committee!"

Seeing Hu Ying make such a declaration, Tang Ye felt a bit angry, sensing a hint of moral coercion in it—

First, he had never said he wouldn't look into it;

Second, Zhong Leng's death was, in itself, self-inflicted.

Third, without clarifying the truth, it was naturally difficult to make a rash promise.

Tang Ye said in a serious tone: "You must trust the Government. I can understand your feelings, but if Zhong Leng's death was not a natural death caused by heart disease, the issue would become very complicated and involve a wide range of people. Handling this matter is not something that can be done just by shouting slogans. Even if I were to fool you, could I actually solve the problem?"

Hu Ying calmed down a bit after hearing Tang Ye's words and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I was too emotional just now. I... I really don't know what to do anymore!"

Hu Ying was clearly aware of the background of the opponent she was facing.

Tang Ye said in a deep voice: "Where do you work?"

Hu Ying replied: "I work at the Housing Management Bureau."

Tang Ye had been having Xing Zhijun secretly investigate Hai Bin and collect evidence of his illegal activities.

Without absolute certainty, Hu Ying's overreaction could very likely alert the enemy and disrupt his overall deployment, so Tang Ye had to pacify her.

"You must keep the original copy of this letter safe; do not mention it to anyone else besides me."

Hu Ying gritted her teeth and said: "To avenge Zhong Leng, I'm willing to risk everything!"

Tang Ye frowned: "Don't forget, you still have a daughter abroad. Every month, Hai Bin sends her living expenses. Have you ever thought that he can help her, but he can also hurt her?"

Tang Ye actually knew this detail!

Hu Ying's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and she gripped her palms tightly.

Clearly, Tang Ye's reminder had plunged her into deep despair, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Tang Ye hated seeing people cry, especially women.

Tang Ye liked to meddle in affairs, but he was definitely not someone who would stick his nose into everything.

Moreover, he did not know Hu Ying well.

Tang Ye stood up and took out a piece of paper to write down his mobile phone number:

"This is my contact information. It is turned on twenty-four hours a day; you can call me at any time.

If you encounter any threats, tell me immediately; do not act on your own."

Hu Ying nodded silently: "Okay, I will listen to you. However, I won't wait too long."

Tang Ye said helplessly: "I can't give you a promise as to when I can give you an explanation. But I will not sit idly by!"

After Hu Ying left, Tang Ye dialed Xing Zhijun's phone number.

"Zhong Leng's wife just came to see me."

Xing Zhijun was very surprised: "What did she come to see you for? You have absolutely nothing to do with Zhong Leng's death."

"When she was packing up Zhong Leng's belongings, she found a suicide note. Zhong Leng clearly knew he would die, which is why Hu Ying realized there might be hidden circumstances behind his sudden death."

Xing Zhijun pondered and said: "Zhong Leng was Hai Bin's lackey and knew too many of his secrets, so Hai Bin indeed has the motive to kill him. But a suicide note alone is not enough to arrest Hai Bin; it would only alert the enemy."

Tang Ye agreed with Xing Zhijun's judgment: "You must protect Hu Ying well; don't let anything happen to her."

Xing Zhijun replied: "I will make the proper arrangements."

After hanging up with Xing Zhijun, Tang Ye sat on the sofa and pondered for a long time.

He secretly warned himself that to deal with Hai Bin, he must plan carefully before acting; he must not be impatient.

Hai Bin was lying on a massage sofa.

The young female technician opposite him was giving him a foot acupoint massage.

"Can you use a bit more strength?" Hai Bin frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone.

"I am already using my maximum strength; you have a very high tolerance for pressure," the female technician replied cautiously.

Liu Cheng, who was to the side, said with a grin: "How about I change the female technician for you?"

Hai Bin looked displeased: "No need!"

Just then, a man pushed the door open, leaned into Hai Bin's ear, and whispered a few words.

A flash of surprise crossed Hai Bin's eyes: "Got it. Keep a close watch on that crazy woman who doesn't know what's good for her!"

After his subordinate left, Liu Cheng asked curiously: "What happened?"

Hai Bin said in a deep voice: "Zhong Leng's wife is courting death! After Zhong Leng died, I gave her three million in funeral expenses and an extra fifty thousand a month for living expenses. I didn't expect her to dare to turn against me and secretly go see Tang Ye."

Liu Cheng's eyes lit up: "Tang Ye? The civil servant who can hold his liquor?"

Hai Bin nodded slightly: "Your memory is quite good!"

Liu Cheng waved his hand: "Not many people can outdrink me, so I have a deep impression of him. Didn't you and him act like brothers last time? He's connected with you. What are you afraid of?"

Hai Bin knew that Liu Cheng had a poor tolerance for alcohol and even worse behavior when drunk, but he didn't point it out, only saying: "He is the Deputy County Party Secretary of Dayu County. When Zhong Leng was arrested, it was the Dayu County Public Security Bureau that handled the police work. As for my relationship with him, it hasn't been set in stone yet, and there are still uncertain risks."

"Young Master Bin, you are too cautious! We have people in the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and Government agencies. As long as there is any movement, we will definitely know immediately. Don't scare yourself.

If Zhong Leng's wife and this man surnamed Tang really dare to mess around, let's hit them hard!"

Liu Cheng made a casual throat-slitting gesture.

The two female technicians massaging their feet looked at each other, clearly frightened.

Especially Hai Bin's technician, who increased the strength of her hands to maximum capacity.

Hai Bin frowned and let out a grunt of pain!

"Don't mess around! He is a public official and an Exchange Cadre; he's quite well-known. If he were to have an accident and be killed during his tenure, there's no telling how much of a stir it would cause."

Liu Cheng said disdainfully: "Isn't he just a Deputy Division Level Official? Should we find someone to knock him down a peg?"

Haibin shook his head: "This kid is an Exchange Cadre from Huai Province, and he has to return to Huai Province after working in Dayu County for two years. So, if you just find some ordinary person, you won't be able to influence him at all."

Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment: "That is quite tricky, but as long as he is human, he must have weaknesses, right?"

Haibin nodded slightly: "This kid's biggest weakness is that he is fond of grandiosity and loves to show off. A new copper mine has opened in Dayu County, and one of the shareholders is his high school classmate. I suspect Tang Ye definitely has a stake in it!"

The corners of Liu Cheng's mouth curled up, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Then it's simple!

Let's play the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

While taking the opportunity to deal with him, we can also take down the copper mine!

Two birds with one stone!"
