Chapter 341

Jin Taihe shook his head and said, "I don't know this person. He had a county town accent and was a young man. After he finished talking to me, he left."

Su Xinghui asked again, "What benefits did they promise you?"

Jin Taihe said, "They said that as long as this matter succeeds, they can get Luo Ming'an out and also give me a sum of money."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Chairman Jin, this condition is quite good. Why didn't you do as they asked?"

Jin Taihe said indignantly, "They are treating me like a fool. Ming'an's case has already entered the judicial process; who can get him out?"

Jin Taihe didn't say one more thing: with the County Party Secretary watching, who could overturn this case? Even when Comrade Ji Tao was weak, if he were determined to keep an eye on a case, it would be unlikely to be overturned.

Su Xinghui also understood why Jin Taihe told him about this. He knew that the hope of getting Luo Ming'an out was slim, and instead, he might offend Su Xinghui to death. Jin Taihe had seen the relationship between Lu Zhenghong and Su Xinghui. After weighing the pros and cons, it was easy for him to make such a decision.

By selling a favor to him, maybe Luo Ming'an would actually be saved.

Of course, he couldn't help but appreciate this favor. Although he wasn't afraid, knowing about this was much better than being completely ignorant. At least he had psychological preparation.

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Then thank you, Chairman Jin. Luo Ming'an's case is not too serious, and it's his first offense. As long as he pleads guilty, I think he shouldn't be sentenced too heavily."

What Su Xinghui said was not a lie. He had once heard Lei Ming say that Luo Ming'an's case was not serious. After the investigation process, it was determined that it was Luo Ming'an's first offense, and it didn't cause any serious consequences, nor did he gain any profit. Therefore, the sentence might not exceed one year.

Jin Taihe was overjoyed; this was the sentence he was waiting for. He raised his glass and said, "Township Head Su, rest assured. I will definitely do a good job and get everyone to vote for you! I still have some mass base in Meng Hu Ling."

Su Xinghui said, "Okay, but please don't tell anyone else about this."

Jin Taihe nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course I know that. Township Head Su, you can rest assured."

Coming out of Jin Taihe's house, Su Xinghui returned to his dormitory. Wan Xing'an had returned from home and was reading. Su Xinghui greeted him and sat at his desk, picking up a book to read. In fact, he was thinking about the problem.

Who did this was self-evident; the key was how to respond.

Just now, Su Xinghui's blood was boiling, and he had intended to ignore it, let those people tamper with it, and use this opportunity to see his weight in the hearts of the people. But now that he had calmed down, he felt that doing so was a bit inappropriate.

Yes, even if someone tampered with it, his chances of being elected were very high. But in everything, one should fear the "what if." What if he wasn't elected? Such a thing was not entirely impossible.

Thinking carefully, his current affairs were no longer just his own; the honor and disgrace of many people were tied to him.

If he wasn't elected, the future of Chen Hongfu and others would naturally be bleak. And if Lu Zhenghong had any opinions about him, Zhang Kaishan, Comrade Ji Tao, and others would naturally be implicated. And if they were implicated, the fence-sitters in the county would naturally lean towards Shan Guozhi's side, and the great situation in Shangjun County would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

To put it more broadly, if he wasn't elected and Meng Hu Ling's agricultural reform couldn't succeed, this would also have a huge impact on the layout of Lu Zhenghong and Gu Shanmin. Agricultural reform was a project that Gu Shanmin was focusing on promoting. Failing in this would deal a huge blow to Gu Shanmin's prestige.

In addition, if Shan Guozhi's gang regained power, many people in the county would likely suffer. Many faces flashed before Su Xinghui's eyes: Zhang Cheng, Xu Haimin, Xu Xiaoguang, Fan Jianzhang, Zhong Lixing, Fan Zhenzhen, Xue Qin, Xia Zhu... I'm afraid the fates of many of these people would change.

And... Lu Xiaoya. For some reason, Lu Xiaoya's pretty face, which could be angry or happy, flashed before Su Xinghui's eyes. If he wasn't elected, would he be able to see Lu Xiaoya in the future?

After thinking for I don't know how long, Su Xinghui finally made a decision. This matter was no longer his own; he had to report it to his superiors. Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, it must be nipped in the bud.

Su Xinghui didn't know that in the process of such thinking, he had become increasingly mature.

In his past life, although he had experienced many setbacks, he had not experienced problems with elections. This could be considered a lesson for him. He believed that after experiencing this event, he would definitely be even stronger in the future. ===== CHAPTER 343 =====
