Chapter 739: then title translation, then ===GLOSSARY=== then list

Ming Yuexin seeing the situation asked: "What happened? Su Yang wasn't already taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission people? Moreover, that woman definitely assaulted someone, something everyone can prove. Even if handled legally and properly, at the very least she should be detained for 15 days, and she should also compensate our medical expenses, right?"

Geng Miao said: "It's not any of those things. This woman's identity is not simple; it has alarmed the provincial leadership. The province has already set up a special investigation team, and they departed more than an hour ago; they should arrive at our Lieshan Xian any moment now."

Once they arrive at Lieshan Xian, they will launch an investigation into the related issues. This matter has become troublesome. Therefore, we should still slow down our actions.

Old Two, Old Three, go hide for a while. After all, you are personally involved in these matters; as soon as they investigate, they'll find out. As for me, I still have the status of a People's Congress deputy, and I also haven't directly committed any crime.

As long as the distillery side doesn't find any problems, I'll be fine. As for dealing with Su Yang and such, we'll handle it after this matter is over. In short, as long as he remains in Lieshan Xian, we have plenty of opportunities to get him. Haven't we already gotten him into trouble this time?

Geng Biao was extremely dissatisfied: "What's going on? Why are we being told to flee? Did we kill someone or set a fire? This time it's clearly that woman who beat up Old Three, so how did we end up with problems? Moreover, no matter which investigation team comes down, are Ye Xianggao and the others supposed to be silent? Won't they speak up? Lieshan Xian is our foundation; we're not going anywhere!"

Geng Miao immediately flew into a rage: "Stupid! Even if Ye Xianggao and the others speak up for us, this time it's the provincial investigation team; even if he helps us cover up, some things will still surface. Get your things together and leave at first light tomorrow!"

Seeing their elder brother angry, Geng Le and Geng Biao could only nod.

Then Ming Yuexin said: "I think we should temporarily shut down all our business venues except the Lieshan Grand Hotel; otherwise, sooner or later someone will uncover problems, and those involved should be relocated or settled as needed."

Don't look down on her just because she's a woman; she also keenly sensed something unusual from this incident.

Geng Miao said: "Good, call them right now and have all business venues shut down, while the hotel remains open as usual. Even if the investigation team comes, they'll need lodging, so our hotel can be put to use; at the right time we can also gather some information from the hotel. Of course, don't panic—after all, they're just the investigation team; the county Public Security Bureau is still under our control."

Meanwhile, they were busy making plans, and the special investigation team's vehicle had already driven into the gates of the County Party Committee and County Government.

All members of the County Party Committee leadership who had received the news were waiting downstairs. Tonight they had already worked overtime twice; initially they cooperated with Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary He Jinbao to take Su Yang away, and they had just returned and hadn't even slept two hours when the provincial special investigation team arrived.

Furthermore, behind the investigation team came a motorcade of Jinzhou Municipal Party Committee leaders. Lieshan Xian hadn't seen provincial or Jinzhou municipal leaders for a long time; this time the entourage was impressive, but it certainly wasn't a good thing.

Before the vehicle had even come to a stop, Ye Xianggao and the others rushed forward. Seeing the man who stepped out glance at Ye Xianggao's face, he asked: "Are you Comrade Ye Xianggao?"

Ye Xianggao quickly replied: "Yes, Secretary Yue, I am Ye Xianggao. Welcome you and all the leaders to come to our county to guide the work."

But before he could finish speaking, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Yue had already walked into the building, with no intention of wasting time chatting with him here.

Ye Xianggao broke out in a cold sweat all over; he clearly felt that this time a great catastrophe loomed. The only hope now was for Geng Miao to use his influence at the provincial level to resolve this issue; otherwise, the entire leadership of the County Party Committee and County Government might face utter disaster.

In the upstairs meeting room, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Yue coldly surveyed the officials below: "I believe you know why I've come tonight. I have just one question: Is Lieshan Xian a place beyond the law? Can the leadership of the Lieshan Xian Party Committee and County Government still exercise authority? Why have such shocking incidents occurred in Lieshan Xian? Ultimately, is Lieshan Xian led by the Party and government, or by some criminal gangs?"

After those words were spoken, everyone present turned pale instantly. Having been labeled a criminal syndicate right off the bat, the outcome was easy to imagine. Yet Ye Xianggao and the others dared not respond, merely lowering their heads to look at the paper and pens on the table.

Secretary Yue continued: "Regarding the incident that happened last night at the Ye Se Nightclub, what exactly occurred? Comrade Ye Xianggao, please give me a full explanation."

At this moment, Ye Xianggao was trembling all over. He stammered: "Secretary Yue, the specific situation is being investigated and processed by the Public Security Bureau; I would like our Public Security Bureau's responsible comrade to report to you."

Lin Zhinan, sitting in the back row, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave; in his mind he cursed Ye Xianggao's ancestors eighteen generations over: "You can't afford to offend Geng Miao, do you think I can? Besides, this is in front of the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission secretary—there's no room for lying. Yet with everyone's eyes on him, he had no choice but to report the situation."

He stood up, stammering: "Secretary Yue, ladies and gentlemen, last night our county indeed experienced a public security incident. We received a report that a violent injury occurred inside the Ye Se Nightclub."

"When we arrived, we found that the nightclub's manager, Geng Le, was injured and lying on the ground, while the other staff members had been restrained, some of them injured as well. Besides Geng Le and the nightclub staff, present were our Public Security Bureau Deputy Chief Sun Chengjun, a veteran detective, Deputy County Magistrate Su Yang, and the suspect in this violent incident, Liu Zixuan."

"Regarding this incident, the victim Geng Le claimed it was because our Public Security Bureau Deputy Chief Sun Chengjun favored Liu Zixuan, even pointing a gun at them, prompting Liu Zixuan to strike them with a heavy object. However, Liu Zixuan's statement says it was because Geng Le and his group attempted to assault her, so she acted in legitimate self-defense."

"After the incident, I was summoned to the county government for a meeting; the detailed handling and the first responders at the scene were all Deputy Chief Sun Chengjun. I believe he knows more clearly; could I ask Deputy Chief Sun Chengjun to come and give a more detailed report?"

He was driven to desperation—he definitely couldn't afford to provoke Geng Miao, and he didn't dare lie either, so he simply let Sun Chengjun speak.
