Chapter 954: You Are Insulting Me!

"Have some tea!" Tang Ye poured a cup of tea for Hu Ying.

"The truth about my husband's death has yet to be revealed; I am in no mood for tea. Secretary Tang, you promised me before the New Year that you would help me. Now that the New Year has passed, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Hu Ying deliberately made her tone sound very firm.

She knew in her heart that this was the only way to make Tang Ye have some reservations.

Her husband had died in the Interrogation Room, and although it had been forcibly suppressed at the time, the government department was in the wrong regarding this matter.

"I have told you that this matter must be considered carefully, and I have been arranging for people to investigate. You must give me time." Tang Ye was quite uncomfortable with Hu Ying's assertiveness.

Hu Ying's tone rose sharply: "You must give me a deadline! If there is no clear answer, I will expose this matter to the media, and at the same time, I will petition the city and provincial authorities!"

Seeing that Hu Ying's emotions were becoming increasingly agitated, Tang Ye thought to himself that he must never reveal the information he already knew to her.

"Regarding your husband's death, you already signed the papers at the time, and this document has legal effect. Unless new evidence appears, the suicide note he left you cannot change anything at all. Of course, the situation you told me about earlier is important, but we need time to verify it."

Hu Ying bit her lip hard, her expression suddenly changed, and she said with a sob: "Secretary Tang, I know my behavior today was very impulsive; I have offended you and made you annoyed. But I really have no other way, I can only come to beg for your help."

A sense of emotion welled up in Tang Ye's heart; he understood Hu Ying's state of mind.

Her husband had passed away, the pillar of the family had collapsed, and more importantly, it seemed there was an invisible hand behind it all, trapping her tightly, while she was trying her best to break free.

"I can understand your feelings, but please give us a little more time. We must act according to the law; your being overly agitated will only disrupt our deployment."

Hu Ying suddenly fell silent, then quickly walked to the door, leaned her back against the door panel, suddenly took off her down jacket, and then pulled down her leggings.

Tang Ye stared at her in astonishment: "What are you doing?"

Tears welled up in Hu Ying's eyes, and her tone was full of humiliation: "Secretary Tang, I am not ugly; as long as you are willing to help me, I... I will sleep with you."

This was the County Party Committee Compound!

This was in his own office!

Tang Ye's head felt like it was exploding, and he sternly scolded: "What do you take me for? You are insulting me! Put your clothes on immediately! How childish! Doing this will not solve any problems at all."

Hu Ying had clearly made a huge resolution before coming.

In her view, most men liked to conquer women; as long as she let go of her dignity, she might be able to move Tang Ye.

Although Hu Ying was already in her early thirties, her figure was extremely well-maintained, and she looked like she was only twenty-eight or twenty-nine.

She did not listen to Tang Ye's dissuasion and took off her base layer, revealing the underwear underneath, her snow-white skin instantly exposed to the air.

This was an extremely vulgar and ancient honey trap, but at this moment, it put Tang Ye in a position of great passivity.

He reacted extremely quickly, knowing in his heart that if he stepped forward to stop her, it would only make things more chaotic.

For example, if she grabbed him and shouted that he was molesting her.

His reputation would be ruined.

He immediately picked up the desk phone and pressed a few numbers: "Xiao Ma, come to my office for a moment."

Tang Ye's cold attitude finally brought Hu Ying back to her senses.

She stopped her movements, bent down to hug her knees, and began to cry.

Tang Ye sighed softly, walked toward Hu Ying, picked up the clothes on the floor to cover her, and then returned to his desk to sit down, turning his back to her.

Hu Ying waited for a long time without seeing Ma Ran enter, only then did she suddenly realize that Tang Ye hadn't actually made a call just now; he was just using that action to warn her.

She silently wiped away her tears and slowly put on her clothes.

Ma Ran was sitting in the office opposite, holding a document in his hand, his eyes constantly watching the direction of Tang Ye's office, hesitating whether to go in and deliver the document at this moment.

Suddenly, Hu Ying rushed out of the office, head down, covering her face with her hands, and walked away quickly without looking back, looking extremely disheveled.

Ma Ran waited a few more minutes before walking into Tang Ye's office, handing over the document, and saying softly: "Secretary Tang, I will be more careful in the future and will never let unauthorized people disturb you."

Tang Ye nodded: "Pay attention next time; this incident is not your fault."

He thought to himself that since Hu Ying's plan had failed this time, she should be able to understand that starting from him would not be of much use.

After Hu Ying left the County Party Committee Compound, her cheeks were shockingly hot.

Thinking of that bold move just now, she still felt as if she were in a dream, walking aimlessly on the street for a long time, an inexplicable bitterness surging in her heart.

The cars speeding past seemed to carry a sense of smugness, kicking up a trail of dust and rolling the autumn leaves on the ground into the air, the dazzling light making her eyes ache.

Hu Ying returned home, and not long after, Zhong Yang arrived.

Zhong Yang's complexion was very poor; as soon as he entered the door, he sat on the sofa and smoked silently.

Hu Ying asked softly: "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhong Yang sighed heavily: "About Leng Zi's matter, why don't we... just let it go!"

Hu Ying was full of surprise: "Brother, you don't want to find out the truth anymore? He is your own brother!"

Zhong Yang stubbed out his cigarette and grabbed his hair in pain: "You misunderstood! Recently, I have been receiving threatening calls, telling me to behave and be careful. I don't mind for myself, but I'm afraid they will hurt others in the family. Don't worry about this matter anymore; I will handle it."

Hu Ying also sighed: "Brother, let me handle this matter; you have a proper job, and I don't want to implicate you."

Zhong Yang said in a deep voice: "Leng Zi is gone, I must take good care of you and his daughter; this is my responsibility."

At this moment, there was some movement outside the door. Hu Ying walked over to take a look, and it was the postman delivering newspapers.

"It's the newspaper delivery," she said, placing the newspaper on the table.

Zhong Yang's gaze fell on the newspaper, and he was suddenly attracted by a news article, his eyes instantly lighting up.

"Got it! Perhaps we have a way!"

"What way?"

Zhong Yang handed her the newspaper: "Look at this news."

Hu Ying leaned over to look, full of confusion: "Dayu County just got a new County Party Secretary, will she... will she help us?"

Zhong Yang analyzed: "This new County Party Secretary is a Central Selected Graduate with an unusual background. If we can get her to intervene, we will have a better chance of winning."

Hu Ying hesitated: "Why would she help us?"

Zhong Yang took a deep breath: "Human effort can achieve anything. She has just arrived and definitely needs some opportunities to establish her authority; perhaps we can take advantage of this mindset of hers."

Hu Ying nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I hope this new County Party Secretary is not as heartless as Tang Ye."
