Perfect Life [Rebirth]

Chapter 82

Director Cheng was wearing a Tang suit, with two jade-colored walnuts constantly turning in his palms. He suddenly appeared in the somewhat simple Wujialing Township Government, showing the demeanor of a master.

As for Gong Changsheng, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau who was walking side by side with him, he had his eyelids drooped and looked as if he wanted to keep strangers away, and he looked very awe-inspiring.

When Wang Hongyuan saw the two people getting off the car, he stood up straight, contrary to his previous aggrieved expression, but his face showed an expression of infinite grievance, and he complained:

"You two, if you don't come, Old Wang will be bullied to death by those two youngsters..."

"Old Wang also started from scratch. He suffered so much to have such a business now. How can you play tricks on me like this? Isn't it a sin to have a conscience..."

"If they hadn't begged me, would I have brought a bunch of brothers to this godforsaken place? In the end, they were pushed into a pit. It's so disheartening..."

Although Ding Chaomin did not recognize the middle-aged man in the Tang suit, he had seen Gong Changsheng, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. His heart suddenly tightened, and he hurried over:

"Hello, Director Gong, I am..."

Before she could finish, Gong Changsheng interrupted her rudely:

"Ding Chaomin? Mayor of Wujialing Township?"

Such a cold tone sounds like a poisonous snake in the wetlands, making people feel creepy.

"It's me." Ding Chaomin tried to calm down.

"I just received a report saying that you accepted huge bribes and privately tampered with the contract, causing unscrupulous businessmen to profit and honest businessmen to suffer huge losses... Is this true?" Gong Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Ding Chaomin.

"Director Gong, what evidence do you have?" Ding Chaomin never expected that Gong Changsheng would accuse him of a crime right away. "They say that without investigation, you have no right to speak. It was obviously Wang Hongyuan who broke the contract first..."

"What Township Chief Ding said is wrong," Wang Hongyuan cried out in injustice, "Before, we just felt that we couldn't treat the villagers of Wujialing unfairly, so we wanted to draft a new contract..."

"Who would have thought that Mayor Ding would turn his back on us and directly declare the previous contract invalid..."

"Village Chief Ding, this is not the way to behave... Now, in front of Director Gong, tell me the truth. Do you recognize the contract? If the other party has something to threaten you, just tell me. Wang Hongyuan is a man of honor. Even if I am not, we still have Director Gong! He will never let you, Village Chief Ding, suffer any injustice."

The threat in this sentence is obvious...

If they acknowledge the contract, they will drive Ye Qing away, and the so-called bribery is just a misunderstanding. What's worse, if they put all the blame on Ye Qing, then everyone will be in the same country. If they refuse to acknowledge the contract, the gray transaction will be real. No matter Ding Chaomin or Ye Qing, no one will get away with it.

Ding Chaomin's face turned red with anger, and he suddenly spat fiercely:

"How can a person be so shameless! Ugh!"

Gong Changsheng was totally embarrassed to find that he couldn't even defeat a small village chief himself.

"Village Chief Ding is breaking the law knowingly."

"In that case, both of you should come with me."

"Don't worry, if you are innocent, you will be released soon. But if you are innocent, go to prison and confess your crime!"

"What does it have to do with Mr. Ye?" Ding Chaomin didn't expect Gong Changsheng to attack Ye Qing, and immediately became anxious...

Publicly, Ye Qing is a great benefactor to the people of Wujialing; privately, Ye Qing is also his future cousin-in-law.

Seeing her frail figure and the unfamiliarity of the place, I wonder what Gong Changsheng is up to...

"Director Gong, you are just an anti-corruption director. Province H will not tolerate you doing whatever you want and covering up everything with one hand!"

Gong Changsheng had heard that Ding Chaomin from Wujialing Township was a powerful figure, but he had not taken it seriously before. He did not expect to be scolded by someone pointing at his nose. His face suddenly became gloomier:

"As expected, a desperate dog will do something desperate. Ding Chaomin, let me tell you, the people have sharp eyes. If you have committed a crime, you can only wait to be punished by law!"

"Take them away!"

"You also know that the people have sharp eyes?" Ye Qing, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up, looking directly into Gong Changsheng's eyes and said, "Yet you still dare to do such a cruel thing. It's really ugly. How much benefit did Xiao Chao give you to allow you to gamble your future on this?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Qing said the name "Xiao Zhuo" as soon as he opened his mouth. Gong Changsheng's expression froze, and his eyes became even colder:

"Nonsense, who is Xiao Zhuo? I don't know him!"

"Don't try to quibble or change the subject. No matter how sharp your tongue is, we can still pry your mouth open."

"Since you are the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, you should have heard about the conflict between the Ye family and the He family in Zhongdu some time ago, right?"

Ye Qing looked calm:

"Believe it or not, if you continue to be stubborn, the fate of the He family will be the same as the fate of all of you?"

"You are indeed arrogant and ignorant, not knowing how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is!" Director Cheng, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, his expression full of contempt.

Gong Changsheng came back to his senses instantly and exchanged glances with him:

"We won't wrongly accuse an innocent person, but we won't let a bad guy go either. Since you have a clear conscience, get in the car."

"Okay," Ye Qing agreed readily, "but there is one thing. I have already agreed with the villagers that the contract will be signed today. There are not many families left. Once we pay the betrothal fee and the contract is signed, we will go with you."

In just a short while, more than a dozen villagers had gathered at the gate of the township government. Judging from their appearance, they had been there for a while, but some were frightened by the scene inside and were standing there watching.

After hearing what Ye Qing said, they immediately gathered around him, but they were not in a hurry to sign the contract. Instead, they gathered around Gong Changsheng and others:

"Comrade, have you made a mistake?"

"Our village chief is a very good man. He will definitely not make any mistakes..."

"And this Mr. Ye is also kind-hearted... You don't know, in order to grow those medicinal herbs, my wife was so tired that she rolled down the hillside and broke her leg. She is still lying at home..."

"Who would have thought that those unscrupulous businessmen would just say that the contract is invalid. My family grows medicine and treats my wife's illness, and we are in a lot of trouble. If Boss Ye hadn't been willing to take our medicinal materials and gave us a fair price, my wife would have been ready to hang herself..."

"You can't take such a good person away..."

"Yes, yes." Other common people also echoed, saying at once, "We may not have read much, but we know clearly in our hearts who is a human and who is a ghost..."

"That fat guy Wang next to you is the one with all the bad intentions..."

The veins on Gong Changsheng's forehead were about to burst out, but he was also worldly-wise and knew the situation at hand. If he really took the person away by force, he was afraid that something big would happen.

He did not respond to the people's words, but just nodded gloomily at Ye Qing.

"Hurry up."

Knowing that Gong Changsheng and others were not going to give up today, Ye Qing ignored him and just asked someone to move a few tables over and asked Li Zheng to move the money over.

More than one million in cash were displayed all together, which was really a spectacular sight.

Gong Changsheng signaled the people who followed him to take a picture of the cash display, then turned around and wanted to get in the car and wait, but he narrowly avoided bumping into Wang Hongyuan who was standing there like a fool. He whispered, "What's the matter with you?"

"what are you doing?"

He looks so absent-minded.

"No," Wang Hongyuan's palms began to sweat. He pointed at Li Zheng, who was arranging piles of cash with blood on his face, and said, "Li Zheng, why is he..."

"Who is that young man? Do you know him?" Gong Changsheng was a little suspicious.

"I, I don't know him," Wang Hongyuan's throat was a little dry. H Province was his base camp. If he used some tricks to trick Li Songyang's people, it would be a big deal. "That's Governor Nie, Governor Nie Ting's secretary, Li Songyang..."

As soon as he said this, a trace of panic flashed across Gong Changsheng's eyes, and he subconsciously looked at Director Cheng.

"If Ye Qing didn't have some skills and background, why would Young Master Xiao look for you?" Director Cheng's expression suddenly became gloomy. He glanced at Gong Changsheng and Wang Hongyuan, "He's just a secretary, but you're scared like this. What a loser!"

"You don't know, Li Songyang is the person that he trusts the most. Rumor has it that he will most likely become the governor next year... By then, Li Songyang will surely make a further step... You can then just pat your butt and go back to Zhongdu. We have offended Li Songyang, what can we do..."

Wang Hongyuan was about to cry. Although Gong Changsheng was fine, he was obviously not as confident as before...

Framed accusation of a girl from outside the province and framed accusation of a relative of the governor's secretary are not on the same level at all.

"Nie Ting is not the governor yet, let alone a vice governor. Even if he becomes the governor now, what difference would that make?" Director Cheng still didn't care much. In front of the three people, he directly dialed a mobile phone number.

"Hello, hello, I'm Jian Anguo..."

Jian Anguo?

Almost immediately after hearing the name, Wang Hongyuan's face turned red with excitement...

Jian Anguo, isn't that the secretary of the provincial party secretary Zhou Fang? Wang Hongyuan has no other strengths, but he is first-rate in remembering people.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I once attended a cocktail party jointly hosted by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government as a representative of businessmen. I had met Secretary Jian before, and it was indeed this voice.

Director Cheng's following words undoubtedly confirmed Wang Hongyuan's speculation:

"Hello Director Jian, I'm Cheng Bomin..."

"Oh, Old Cheng, it's you." The tone of voice was unusually familiar. "Come to H Province sometime, I'll treat you to a drink..."

After Cheng Bomin hung up the phone, Wang Hongyuan's panic disappeared and he kept complimenting him:

"I told you, Master Xiao must have made all the arrangements..."

"As expected of Master Xiao, he has made every possible plan..."

Although Gong Changsheng did not speak, he stretched out his body, stretched himself, and turned back:

"I'll go and keep an eye on them to make sure they don't collude with each other."

The dozen or so villagers were walking out happily, but when they saw Gong Changsheng and others coming back, they were obviously a little frightened and stood there refusing to leave.

Gong Changsheng ignored them and just looked at Ye Qing and Ding Chaomin coldly:

"What are you still dawdling about? Let's go."

At that time, two more cars drove over, bringing with them four staff members, who came behind Ye Qing and Ding Chaomin respectively, and rushed to the cars like escorting prisoners.

"What do you want to do?" Li Zheng immediately protected Ye Qing.

If Gong Changsheng was a little afraid of Li Zhengshi before, now he no longer cares about him and said coldly:

"Unrelated personnel please move aside and do not obstruct law enforcement."

"You..." Li Zheng was extremely angry.

But he was stopped by Ye Qing:

"It's okay, we'll go with him. Go and drive the car over here."

"You are suspected of bribing government officials. You must take the designated vehicle to the designated location..."
