Chapter 671

Ming Yuexin immediately stopped: "No, we haven't reached that step yet! Given the current situation, if Su Yang suffers even the slightest harm in Lieshan Xian, the blame will point at us!"

Besides, remember, Su Yang is different from others! From these days of investigation, besides being a Vice County Magistrate directly dispatched from the province, he also has good relations with other leaders. It is said that the previous Executive Vice Governor Zhou Weiguo valued him highly and once followed Zhou Weiguo to Jingcheng.

As for what he went to do, I don't know; as for what role he played, that's also unknown, but this is enough to prove he can connect with Zhou Weiguo. What position does Zhou Weiguo hold now? I think you all know!

If he gets angry, even if we have someone in the province, we can't cover it! Moreover, I heard that he was in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with the previous magistrate of Jincheng County; that magistrate has now been transferred back to Jingcheng, but what exactly he does there is still unclear.

Of course, it's said that because this magistrate overly protected Su Yang in the previous incident involving Su Yang, he was directly kicked out by the municipal authorities. But no matter what, Su Yang's background must not be underestimated!

Geng Le was very dissatisfied: "It's just a county magistrate who almost fell from grace—what's the big deal?"

Geng Miao said with a stern face: "Don't underestimate anyone! Such a person being sent here must have strong backing behind them! I also just received this news this afternoon: he is in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with County Magistrate Zhou Ruohan; I heard they are already engaged and will soon marry."

Moreover, Zhou Ruohan seems related to Zhou Weiguo, possibly his daughter, which is why I didn't just think of shooting him outright! If it were anyone else, I would have fired directly—even if I didn't kill him, I'd scare him into losing control of his bowels!

Otherwise, why do you think this tiger of mine isn't showing its fangs?

Of course, this could be a smoke bomb released by Su Yang, or some people might have deliberately fabricated this identity for his girlfriend to boost his reputation.

Because there's a rumor that Zhou Ruohan and the current County Magistrate Fang Jingwen are both mistresses of Vice Governor Huang. Zhou Ruohan's transfer back to Jingcheng is likely due to Vice Governor Huang pulling strings behind the scenes. Ah, this isn't just a rumor; I heard it in the province, and it's indeed true.

Do you know about the incident where the Nan City Municipal Party Committee Secretary was invited for tea? It's because he excessively suppressed Zhou Ruohan and Fang Jingwen, even developing designs on one of the women, which led Vice Governor Huang to angrily take him down completely.

Moreover, if she really were Zhou Weiguo's daughter, not to mention the Lancheng Municipal Party Committee, even the Ganzhou Provincial Party Committee would not allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, we can directly rule out the possibility that Zhou Ruohan is Zhou Weiguo's daughter! Let's think: if she really were his daughter, how could she be the mistress of other leaders? This logic simply doesn't hold.

Geng Miao continued: "If we reason according to this relationship, the connection between Vice Governor Huang and Su Yang must be quite special! I never expected that, while everyone thought this kid had strong connections, he actually went through this channel."

The information I gathered in the province may not be entirely certain, but it's roughly nine out of ten accurate! There shouldn't be such a large deviation, so why are there two different pieces of news? Although leaders' family relations are sometimes kept secret, peers of the same rank usually hear something about them; I'll consult the Provincial Party Committee leaders later.

Ming Yuexin spoke firmly: "Everyone here is our own, so I don't need to hide it. Recently, I've gotten to know a young man named Zhang Shao in Jingcheng; his family members hold a vice department-head position in a certain ministry. Of course, that's not important; what matters is that he is close friends with Governor Zhao's nephew, Tian Shao. Through him I connected with Tian Shao, and Tian Shao told me about this matter."

He also confirmed this, saying Zhou Ruohan is definitely not Governor Zhou's daughter, but rather Vice Governor Huang's mistress; her rapid rise was entirely due to Vice Governor Huang's behind-the-scenes manipulation! Otherwise, how could a 25-year-old become a county magistrate? Still, I must admit, Vice Governor Huang really does have some backing.

It's as if he pushed his two little lovers into the positions of county magistrate, but that doesn't affect us! We just need to do what we ought to do; as long as we can hold things down here, the province will strongly support us.

Even if Vice Governor Huang has influence, once matters reach a certain level, they must be decided by the Standing Committee! Whether Vice Governor Huang can gain an advantage then remains to be seen, after all Governor Zhao doesn't take a liking to him.

After analyzing the situation in the province, Geng Miao said again: "Today amounts to a warning to Su Yang; as long as he's not foolish, he definitely won't dare push further! Regardless of whether he's someone's prospective son-in-law or the future husband of someone's mistress, in short, we still have a video of him taking bribes."

If he dares to act again, I'll hand him straight over to the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission! I want everyone to know that in our Lieshan County, dragons must coil and tigers must lie low.

Geng Le asked: "Big Brother, what about Second Brother? He's still being blocked in the Municipal Hospital; no matter what, we need to get him back by tomorrow, after all, things are uncontrollable in Jinzhou! Although we have our people there, we can't fully control it."

Geng Miao said: "Don't worry, at most two days and I'll definitely get him back! As for media matters, you don't need to worry at all! The hype from media reports—just stay silent, don't struggle, don't resist, and in a couple of days people will naturally forget about it."

Otherwise, why wouldn't I just bring your Second Brother back now? The problem lies here! In this round we underestimated Su Yang, but he didn't gain any advantage either! Our base hasn't moved, nothing has changed, we merely lost a so-called Transportation Bureau Chief.

Actually, personnel and money have always been decided by us! When the time comes, if you see any familiar relatives, recommend Zhang Guodong to them, let him report directly, and let Ye Xianggao and the others nod in agreement.

What can a mere Vice County Magistrate and a clueless Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary whose brain suddenly flooded do to us?

By the way, how have our sales been lately? If sales keep sliding, continuing operations will become troublesome! If really necessary, let's not settle payments with raw material suppliers for now—wasn't the previous cycle semi-annual? Keep dragging it out, and we'll talk again when things ease up.

Otherwise, let's use our old method: find some minor faults with them and then deduct their payments.

But after his words fell, none of the people present picked up the conversation; instead, their expressions looked extremely awkward.

Geng Miao asked: "What's going on? What exactly is the situation? Why isn't anyone speaking?"
