Chapter 582

You came back from the hospital; I didn't expect your physical condition to still be quite good, huh?

I thought you were done for, but great, great—your body is the capital of revolution; you must keep it in good shape at all times.

By the way, is what's in that photo actually true? If it's not, why were you so panicked that day?

If I'm not mistaken, the higher-ups have already taken notice of this matter; even the leaders from the Organization Department came to the province for research today, didn't they? And if I'm not wrong, their research target is Lancheng Shi.

So you've only got this little bit of time left, which is why you're jumping the gun, trying to frame me, right?

Su Yang saw Chang Kai, and naturally he couldn't avoid a round of mockery; when there are people around, you Chang Kai are useless, and now with no one around, you're even more useless.

Chang Kai's expression suddenly changed; this is indeed his last chance, because the higher-ups have indeed sent someone, and between the lines they are very concerned about this case.

Of course, the higher-ups couldn't possibly name Su Yang directly; they spoke about cadre training issues, especially the training of young cadres, demanding that the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department give it key attention.

It should be treated as a key task to be promoted.

Who are key cadres? Which people are key cadres? At first hearing, the concept seems vague, and many people meet the criteria.

Because key cadres are graded, if someone in their forties is placed in a township, they're basically finished; but if they're placed at the bureau/department level, their future is limitless, naturally making them key cadres.

A thirty-year-old Division-level cadre, a twenty-something Section Chief Level cadre—these are inevitably key.

Naturally, anyone who can reach the position of head of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department can understand Old Comrade Fang's meaning, after all, every word from superiors is actually directional.

This news was just released from the Provincial Party Committee this morning, and they have already given up on questioning Fang Jingwen, not even going to her side.

It's not that he doesn't want to go, but Tian Xiaofei told her not to go; don't look at Tian Xiaofei as just a useless fool in their circle, but placed among the people of Ganzhou Sheng, he's the elite of elites, a behind-the-scenes manipulator, a king of painting pies.

That's clear: if they really moved against Fang Jingwen, even though his uncle is the Governor, he probably couldn't avoid being implicated this time.

Fang Runan, although he's currently a vice-department level, sounds not as prominent as a provincial top official.

But his position carries special weight; not to mention in an economically backward province like Ganzhou Sheng, even the top official of an economically developed province like Jiangnan Province would have to give him some face.

Without saying more, his visit to Ganzhou Province for research was personally received and accompanied by Provincial Party Secretary Comrade Sha Rui, and as Governor Zhao Xingbang, he naturally had to follow alongside.

Last night Zhao Xingbang received a call from the Organization Department saying that Vice Department Head Fang would come down for research, and he knew this matter would be troublesome.

If it were truly established that Su Yang and Fang Jingwen had that kind of relationship, if the matter were actually true, then he wouldn't have much to worry about.

After all, for Fang Runan this would be a scandal; at most they'd just try to cover it up immediately, but he knows deep down that the matter itself is problematic.

Now they say they're here for research, but what's the real purpose? At his level, if he still doesn't get it, then he's really wasted these years.

So he had Wu Dachun call Tian Xiaofei, asking him to try to distance himself from this matter as much as possible.

Otherwise, when the time comes, no one will be able to save him.

His words aren't meant to scare Tian Xiaofei, because this time he's provoked not only Fang Runan but also Zhou Weiguo.

Behind them stand the Liu, Zhou, and Qiao families, making this even more impossible to provoke.

Tian Xiaofei is no pushover either; while trying to clear himself, he also doesn't forget to set a trap for Gao Liang.

Only by having Gao Liang quickly substantiate the allegations of Su Yang's illegal and disciplinary misconduct will Gao Liang not only be unscathed, but will actually be heavily relied upon by the superiors.

Otherwise, the consequences could be unpredictable.

That's why Gao Liang is so anxious, and why he's made such a big move.

"The evidence is right before your eyes, do you still want to deny it? Do you really think you have some so-called backing that can save you? I tell you, you're dreaming."

"Today I've locked you up here, with no intention of letting you leave unless you admit to all of this."

At this moment Chang Kai's fangs are fully bared; he has no choice but to give it his all.

At this point, for him it's already a life-or-death situation; he has no retreat.

If he succeeds, perhaps he'll get to feast on the big meal Tian Xiaofei painted for him, and his career path will shoot up like a rocket.

If he messes this up, not only will he stagnate for the rest of his life, but he might even end up eating prison food.

"Using such a lowly tactic as framing and planting evidence, you actually pulled it off. Just because something was found in my office doesn't mean it's mine—who can prove it belongs to me?"

"And you claim I have dealings with the Dung Beetle Tourism Development Company and took their benefits. That's utter nonsense—where's the evidence? You can't just spout off and slap labels on me."

"If you go by what you're saying, then that's my logic from last night—I said you have ten mistresses and over a hundred illegitimate children; you ask for evidence, I say I won't give you any—isn't that just playing the hooligan?"

Before Su Yang could finish speaking, Chang Kai interrupted him, saying, "Don't think you can bluster your way through; if there's no evidence, do you think I'd come here just to question you alone?"

"I tell you, the financial proof from the Dung Beetle Tourism Development Company shows they transferred 500,000 to you, and that money is sitting in your account."

"As for that 150,000 in cash found under your bed, it's not yours—could it be mine?"

Su Yang heard this and gave a slight smile, saying, "It's clear you've put in some effort, but I still tell you these things are others deliberately framing and setting me up, just like those photos."

"I believe the authentication of those photos has already come out—they're all composites; the few genuine ones were taken by someone secretly shooting from behind, and that person is a worker from our countryside."

"Of course, right now the one who should be anxious is you—are those photos of yours really genuine? I'm sure you know deep down. Let's wait and see, to find out who truly is the one violating law and discipline."

The stack of photos Su Yang prepared was sent to him by Fang Jingwen, which shows that Fang Jingwen also has these photos in her hands; given her character, she will certainly not let the behind-the-scenes manipulator get off easy.

Moreover, given his status and means, asking the relevant departments of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission to file a case against Chang Kai is not impossible.

And that photo is definitely genuine.

Seeing that Su Yang wasn't buying any of this, Chang Kai flew into a rage, saying, "Fine, I gave you a chance, so don't blame me," as he shouted toward the door, "Come in, use your methods to make him confess these things clearly."

"Don't stand on ceremony; if anything happens, I'll take responsibility."

However, after shouting several times with no response, he was already furious, and now he roared, "Are you guys deaf?"
