Chapter 968: A Gust of East Wind and Two Taels of Wine!

Li Youyou looked at Tang Ye in surprise, grateful that he had spoken up for her at this moment.

Everyone looked at Tang Ye in surprise.

Tang Ye had consistently displayed a very calm demeanor.

Why would he suddenly act so agitated at this moment?

Hai Bin found it even harder to understand!

Could Tang Ye really be willing to burn bridges with him in public just for a woman?

Given Tang Ye's alcohol tolerance, it was impossible for him to be drunk on just this little bit of liquor.

"Secretary Tang, everyone is in high spirits; there's no need for you to be a killjoy!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Tang Ye's mouth, "Today, I intend to be exactly that!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the private room was pushed open.

A group of people walked in!

Tang Ye had just smashed his glass as a signal!

Xing Zhijun, who had been listening through monitoring equipment in the next room, heard Tang Ye's signal and immediately launched the operation.

A group of plainclothes Police walked in, led by Xing Zhijun.

Two officers beside Xing Zhijun took swift action, stepping forward to directly subdue Hai Bin.

The previously lively atmosphere instantly felt as if it had entered an ice cellar.

Tang Ye glanced at Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng was so shocked his mouth hung open, unable to say a single word.

Tang Ye left the private room directly with Xing Zhijun.

They left behind the bewildered crowd.

"What is going on?"

"Why was Hai Bin taken away?"

"Isn't Tang Ye friends with Hai Bin?"

"They say Hai Bin stops at nothing; has something been exposed?"

The crowd discussed it in hushed tones; at this moment, they were not only curious but also filled with worry for the future, fearing that being too close to Hai Bin might affect them.

Hai Bin had been suddenly arrested.

This dinner could not continue.

Their first reaction was to hurry away from this place of trouble.

Xue Ying glanced at Li Youyou and reminded her, "Youyou, you can put your shoes on now."

"Ah, it looks like there's no need to dance anymore!"

Only then did Li Youyou realize she was still barefoot.

No need to dance anymore!

At this moment, besides surprise, she also felt a sense of satisfaction!

This was the first time Li Youyou had felt the thrill of seeing the Police make an arrest right before her eyes.

The key was that they had directly taken away Hai Bin, whom she detested so much!

In her view, although Tang Ye was a Deputy County Party Secretary, there was still a huge gap between him and Hai Bin.

Hai Bin's social circle was filled with various second-generation elites, and they talked of nothing but influential people.

In their eyes, a Deputy Division Level Official wasn't even fit to carry their shoes.

It took a long while for Xue Ying to come to her senses, "I see it clearly now. Tang Ye has been playing along with Hai Bin all this time."

Li Youyou nodded slightly, "I also found it strange; Tang Ye is a person with a sense of justice, and being with Hai Bin always felt incongruous."

A bitter, enigmatic smile appeared at the corner of Xue Ying's mouth, "No wonder Tang Ye told me not to sign the contract with Jinjun Company so quickly; it turns out he knew all along that Jinjun Company had problems. If we had signed, it very likely would have caused issues for the art performance."

Li Youyou felt a sense of worry in her heart.

Could it be that Tang Ye broke with Hai Bin just for her sake?

Hai Bin had a Deputy Ministerial Level Official as his backer!

Would Tang Ye's future be affected by gaining such a formidable enemy?

Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun sat in a car, with Hai Bin sandwiched between them.

Hai Bin was currently trying hard to keep his emotions stable.

"Tang Ye, so you've been acting all along. You really are despicable. I was indeed fooled by you. But you will pay the price for today's actions."

Tang Ye said indifferently, "Whether I pay a price in the future or not, I only know one thing: those who commit all kinds of evil will certainly be punished by the law."

Hai Bin said disdainfully, "Do you believe that I'll be out by tomorrow? And you will lose everything."

Tang Ye said with a firm tone, "Even if I lose everything, I will still send you in."

Hai Bin took a deep breath, "Then let's wait and see!"

Seeing that Hai Bin was still arrogant, Xing Zhijun said, "Hai Bin, we caught a hitman at Hu Ying's residence; you should know full well who instructed him. Furthermore, Bao Wenlong has already agreed to become a state witness and report your dirty deeds over the years."

A look of surprise appeared in Hai Bin's eyes; he finally realized that Tang Ye's arrest of him this time was a long-planned operation.

Seeing Hai Bin remain silent, Xing Zhijun continued to provoke him, "Also, you think Provincial Governor Hai is your backer, but have you ever thought about whether there is someone pushing behind the scenes for us to investigate so deeply!"

Tang Ye looked at Xing Zhijun in surprise.

A smug smile appeared at the corner of Xing Zhijun's mouth.

Tang Ye hurriedly and guiltily shifted his gaze out the car window.

Afterward, he sent a text message to Shi Yao.

"Secretary Shi, I participated in the arrest operation against Haibin tonight. I have already returned to Dayu County with Xing Zhijun."

Not long after, Shi Yao called.

"What is going on?"

Tang Ye explained, "Secretary Shi, we have been investigating the cause of Zhong Leng's death. This afternoon, a killer snuck into Zhong Leng's home, attempting to murder Hu Ying. The public security comrades were prepared in advance; they not only saved Hu Ying but also captured the culprit. At the same time, Xing Zhijun led a team directly to the Provincial Capital and captured the mastermind, Haibin. We are currently escorting him back."

Shi Yao took a deep breath, "Weren't you supposed to have dinner with Haibin tonight?"

Tang Ye said, "My arrangement to meet Haibin was an expedient measure to keep him steady. We were afraid that if he knew the plan to assassinate Hu Ying had failed, he would flee to avoid punishment, so we took him into custody directly."

Shi Yao asked softly, "Is the chain of evidence sufficient?"

Shi Yao understood Haibin's background.

If the chain of evidence were insufficient, not only would they have to release him, but they would also have to bear the corresponding consequences.

Tang Ye had laid the groundwork with her before, saying he had been investigating the cause of Zhong Leng's death.

Shi Yao had not expected Tang Ye to fulfill his promise.

He was not passing the buck.

Nor was he fooling Hu Ying or brushing her off.

He dared to draw his sword against the dark, evil forces!

"We have already taken control of one of his trusted subordinates. This person is named Bao Wenlong; he was dissatisfied with Haibin and had already resigned some time ago. He admitted that he was one of the masterminds behind the chaos at the copper mine and was acting under Haibin's instructions. In addition, he knows many of Haibin's secrets, including several murder cases. Although Haibin has never killed anyone himself, he keeps many desperate thugs under his command to commit murder and robbery for him."

Shi Yao said, "I will report this matter to Provincial Governor Gao in a moment."

Shi Yao is the County Party Secretary of Dayu County; she certainly has connections in the province, and she also carries the label of a certain leader.

Judging from her words, Shi Yao should belong to Provincial Governor Gao's camp.

Tang Ye knew that Shi Yao would absolutely not sit idly by.

Shi Yao's vision and starting point are very high; with her connections, she would not be intimidated by Haibin's background!

The case occurred within Dayu County, and there are clear elements of organized crime surrounding Haibin.

Investigating further will certainly offend some people,

but since taking office, Shi Yao has been in need of making an example of someone to establish her authority!

Tang Ye's move,

like an eastern breeze and two taels of wine,

arrived at just the right moment...
