Chapter 979: New Progress in the Case!

Four hours later, Tao Guangyi obtained Xie Zhan's confession.

Compared to the previous version, the content confessed in this statement was much more substantial.

It contained many details regarding the case, and as for the amount of money, that also surfaced.

Feeling confident, Tao Guangyi dialed Huang He's number.

"Secretary Huang, Xie Zhan is now willing to confess. He admits to having a special relationship with Guo Sisi and confirms that the fifty million used to purchase the villa was a bribe given to him by Hai Bin. This money is related to the highway collapse case."

A grave look appeared in Huang He's eyes, "We have been watching for so long; we finally have results."

The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation into Jinjun Company had actually begun long ago.

It was just that it had encountered heavy obstacles during the process of advancement.

Otherwise, when Huang Sitian was deeply embroiled in the rumor scandal, Huang He would not have gone directly to find the Vice Provincial Governor Hai.

That time, Huang He was actually testing the stance of Vice Provincial Governor Hai.

Tao Guangyi paused for a few seconds and said softly, "In this matter, Dayu County's cross-jurisdictional arrest of Hai Bin played a key role."

Huang He said, "Externally, we must maintain a unified narrative: Dayu County's cross-jurisdictional arrest this time was carried out with the consent of the working group."

Tao Guangyi understood what Huang He meant; although the purpose and result of the DayuxianGonganju going to the provincial capital to make an arrest were good, the procedure was problematic.

If someone were to pursue the matter, the cadres of Dayu County would be implicated as a result.

Huang He still considered issues very thoroughly and meticulously.

"By the way, Tang Ye's brain is really sharp. He provided a piece of information the day before yesterday that played a key role in the interrogation."

"Oh? What information?"

"Hai Bin became addicted to drugs while studying abroad, so he reminded me that Hai Bin might suffer withdrawal symptoms during interrogation, which could be used as a breakthrough point for the questioning." Tao Guangyi remarked with emotion, "He is a young man with a talent for interrogation."

Huang He understood what Tao Guangyi meant, "Don't you go setting your sights on him; he is an Exchange Cadre, and Huai Province will not let him go!"

The case had made new progress.

Huang He was in a great mood.

She subsequently dialed Secretary Guo's number.

Because Secretary Guo had also been following this case all along.

After Huang He finished communicating with Secretary Guo.

Hanzhou Municipal Party Secretary Liu Mingyuan received a call from Secretary Guo...

One link after another...

The political scene in Huai Province was suddenly changing...

Tang Ye actually had not expected the situation to be like a carriage out of control.

It would implicate a Deputy Department Level Official with real power.

Thinking about it carefully, there were actually signs of this early on.

When Chen Qing organized the setup for Land Parcel 32, Xie Zhan was among those in the setup...

At three in the afternoon, Tang Ye received a call from Municipal Party Secretary Liu Mingyuan.

"Secretary Liu, hello, is there anything you would like to instruct me on?"

"How much do you know about the matter concerning Xie Zhan?" Liu Mingyuan's tone was somewhat grave.

Tang Ye told the truth, "Secretary Liu, I am not aware of it. As for the issue of Jinjun Company being suspected of criminal activity, I do know a little.

Because a criminal suspect previously died suddenly during interrogation in Dayu County, we have been investigating in secret.

The chairman of Jinjun Company, Hai Bin, is suspected of organizing a criminal underworld and obtaining huge profits by contracting for some major projects.

Xie Zhan has a close relationship with Hai Bin; the two share a mistress, who is a signed artist at an entertainment company under Hai Bin's name.

Not long ago, she purchased a fifty-million villa in Xiangdu, and according to her confession, Xie Zhan provided the funds for her to buy the villa."

Liu Mingyuan nodded slightly, his brows tightly locked, "So that's how it is; I didn't expect Xie Zhan to be so deeply mired in this."

Liu Mingyuan's impression of Xie Zhan had been quite good.

Xie Zhan's promotion speed over these past few years had been very fast.

In fact, Liu Mingyuan knew that Vice Provincial Governor Hai had played a key role in his promotion.

Xie Zhan being arrested this time would cause a certain impact on Vice Provincial Governor Hai.

Perhaps the changes would not be visible in the short term.

But going forward, the structure within the province would certainly change.

Tang Ye said, "I'm sorry, Secretary Liu, I should have taken the initiative to report this to you. However, I also didn't expect it to involve so many people and cause such a big stir. If there is a similar situation again, I will definitely take the initiative to report it to you in advance."

Liu Mingyuan shook his head and smiled, "You don't need to be so sensitive. If you had told me in advance, I could have provided you with more support.

There are pests within our ranks that must be dealt with in a timely manner.

On this point, there is no problem.

However, you still need to be a bit more cautious in your actions; after all, this matter involves many people and will create no small obstacles for your future development."

Tang Ye could feel Liu Mingyuan's good intentions; he was not criticizing him, but reminding him to be more steady in his actions.

In Liu Mingyuan's view, Tang Ye was a rare and valuable surprise force.

If he were to fall into a predicament, it would definitely be a significant loss for himself.

"Thank you for your concern, Secretary Liu; I will definitely report more to my superiors when doing things in the future."

"By the way. I heard that you went to the provincial capital this time specifically to handle the funding issues for the Yuyan Expressway project; how has that been resolved?" Seeing that Tang Ye realized the seriousness of the problem, Liu Mingyuan began to change the subject.

"The funding issue has been resolved. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission will assist Dayu County through loans and special guidance funds.

We have already communicated with the City Transportation Bureau, striving to open up this crucial poverty-alleviation passage as soon as possible."

"The same goes for what I said before: the Municipal Party Committee will fully support you."

……

After hanging up the phone with Tang Ye, Liu Mingyuan dialed Shi Yao's number.

"Comrade Shi Yao, you have adapted to the work in Dayu County very quickly! I heard that you have secured the funding for the Yuyan Expressway!"

Shi Yao said modestly, "Secretary Liu, you flatter me. I still have many shortcomings. You called; may I ask if you have any instructions?"

Liu Mingyuan said, "I just spoke with Comrade Tang Ye about the issue with Jinjun Company, and you handled it very well. He mentioned that the Yuyan Expressway project has also started quickly. I am very happy to hear this news. I didn't expect that working together with him would yield such good results so quickly."

Shi Yao laughed, "Comrade Tang Ye has very strong executive ability. He is not much different in age from me, and we are able to reach a consensus on many issues very quickly."

Liu Mingyuan encouraged, "That is good. I believe that by fighting side by side, you will surely be able to bring tremendous changes to Dayu County."

"Thank you for your encouragement, Secretary Liu. We will definitely continue to work hard."

Hanging up the phone, Liu Mingyuan stroked his chin; although Xie Zhan was under investigation, as the Municipal Party Secretary, he certainly had to bear a certain degree of responsibility.

However, from the perspective of Yanzhou's development, getting rid of a parasite was not a bad thing.

Next, he had to consider the candidates for the successor.

He held a fountain pen and wrote several names on a blank sheet of paper; they were all candidates to succeed the Executive Vice Mayor.

Liu Mingyuan drew a circle around the name of Chen Qian.

Chen Qian was the Head of the Municipal Organization Department and currently ranked fifth; it would be logical for him to take a step forward and be promoted to fourth.

As for the candidate for the Head of the Municipal Organization Department, that would require careful consideration.
