You should know, in the 108 case, Yang Yuanbo took all the responsibility upon himself.

Even if the accountability for this matter were to be pursued, it wouldn't reach Li Xiaomin's head.

Chen Fang pondered for a moment and said, "No need to go back to the office, let's head to the county committee."

Twenty minutes later.

Chen Fang got out of the car at the county committee courtyard.

He hurried to the entrance of Yang Yuanbo's office where the secretary, Xiang Hua, told him that Secretary Yang was in a meeting and asked him to wait a little while.

You must know, the county committee doesn't start work until two in the afternoon.

Now, barely half-past one, and Yang Yuanbo was in a meeting?

About half an hour passed.

The County Deputy Secretary Chen Xu, Deputy County Magistrate Ding Yuan, and the Disciplinary Committee Secretary Wu Liangyin finally came out of the office.

Each one of them seemed to wear a displeased expression on their face.

At that moment.

Xiang Hua came out from inside and said to Chen Fang, who was waiting on the side, "Secretary Yang is asking for you to come in."

Chen Fang pushed open the door.

To his surprise, Yang Yuanbo, who rarely smoked, was sitting on the sofa smoking.

Seeing Chen Fang, he stubbed out the cigarette.

He pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Sit down."

Chen Fang sat down.

Yang Yuanbo asked, "Are you here for Comrade Xiaomin's issue?"

Chen Fang nodded and said, "Leader, although County Mayor Li doesn't like me very much, I personally think that County Mayor Li is a good county mayor. To transfer him at this time..."

Yang Yuanbo didn't let him finish.

He raised his hand, interrupting him, and said, "It's the city committee's decision, there's no reason given, and they want him to leave immediately. Now it seems that Mayor Lv is angry for not having taken you down."

Chen Fang's heart skipped a beat.

Yang Yuanbo smiled and said, "I've talked with Comrade Xiaomin. He personally has nothing against you. He also thinks that keeping you around is much better than keeping us few old folks."

Hearing this.

Chen Fang felt somewhat discomfited.

He paused and said, "Secretary Yang, I've caused you trouble."

"It's nothing; you did very well. You did what we old bones didn't dare to do. When you first came to the Education Bureau, I didn't have a good impression of you, thinking it wouldn't be long before you would become corrupt like those other people. Unexpectedly, not only did that not happen, but you also cured the chronic disease of Jinde County's education system. From a certain perspective, it's a meritorious deed."

For such an evaluation.

Chen Fang was truly pleased.

He asked, "Secretary Yang, before I came here, I noticed that several leaders looked quite unhappy. Has something happened?"

"We got word that the city might be planning a major overhaul of Jinde County. The transfer of Comrade Xiaomin is just a harbinger. It's not only him; many others may also be moved."

"Ah?"

Chen Fang was surprised.

Truthfully, the news was quite shocking.

"What about you?"

Chen Fang asked.

"I should also be among those to be transferred. After the calm, someone has to bear the consequences of Xiao Xiao's death in Jinde County."

Yang Yuanbo sighed deeply as he spoke.

Chen Fang stood up abruptly.

He said, "Then all the consequences should be borne by me."

Yang Yuanbo smiled and said, "It's not because of that, but rather because of that high-ranking official above. To be frank with you, we are all quite aware of the person behind Xiao Xiao. After all, some people's identities can be traced back several years. Do you think that person would leave us in Jinde County?"

Chen Fang nodded.

He suddenly asked, "Secretary Yang, the person behind Xiao Xiao, is it Jiang Chuo, the Vice Secretary?"

Hearing this.

Yang Yuanbo was taken aback, he looked at Chen Fang in astonishment and asked, "How did you know?"

This answer essentially confirmed Chen Fang's suspicions.

He said leisurely, "Xiao Xiao once told me that the man was sixteen years older than her, which means he is 56 years old this year. Moreover, she mentioned that the man used to be her mentor. Deputy Secretary Jiang Chuo is an academic, having been a professor in a university in the provincial city in his early years. Adding to that, I heard yesterday while I was in the city that Deputy Secretary Jiang came to Wen'an City for an inspection. Putting these pieces together, the result seems quite clear."

Yang Yuanbo sighed.

He said, "Chen Fang, oh, Chen Fang, how good it would have been if you didn't know the identity of this person. Sometimes, being smart is not a good thing."

Chen Fang continued to ask, "Secretary Yang, does Deputy Secretary Jiang's move to shuffle the officials in Jinde County indicate that he is up for promotion?"

Yang Yuanbo was once again surprised.

He nodded and said, "We cannot presume to discuss the situations in the province, but some time ago, there indeed were rumors that Governor Fu Lvchang is very likely to be transferred upward. By seniority, Deputy Secretary Jiang is the prime candidate."

If that was the case, it wasn't surprising at all.

To make a move beforehand,

removing all unfavorable influences was something every leader would do.

Jiang Chuo is currently the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, that is, at the vice-ministerial level.

If he doesn't strive for a higher position at this age, he could only retire at his current rank.

But if there was a chance for a promotion,

there would be no regrets left in his life.

For the sake of securing this position, Jiang Chuo would do everything in his power.

That was also the reason why when Xiao Xiao was in a dangerous situation, Jiang Chuo did not speak out.

Between a woman and a future, no one would choose the former.

"You don't have to worry. Someone like Deputy Secretary Jiang won't take action against you. Just focus on doing your job well,"

Yang Yuanbo consoled him.

Chen Fang gave a wry smile and said, "Secretary Yang, you're mistaken about this point. Of course, Deputy Secretary Jiang won't take action against me, but the people in the city might not feel the same, and the new 'number one' and 'number two' will certainly use me as an example. That's what the city folks would like to see."

"Are you talking about Lv Yifeng?"

"Hmm."

Chen Fang nodded.

He said, "Not to hide from you, Secretary Yang, when I was in Changming County, I did some things that already displeased Mayor Lv. After coming to Jinde County, due to the 108 Case, he was criticized in a report. Although he hasn't met me, he surely despises me by now. As you said, someone of his stature naturally disdains to make a move against me, but the next batch of leaders who take over from you, to curry favor, will certainly target me first."

"Then it depends on your ability. Although Mayor Lv is very powerful, the 'number one' and 'number two' can't all be decided by him, especially County Deputy Secretary Song Yiqiang, who doesn't get along with Mayor Lv. How could he let him have all the advantages?"

Yang Yuanbo said.

This statement acted like a shot of adrenaline.

It gave Chen Fang hope once again.

He asked, "Has the county head been decided yet?"

Yang Yuanbo nodded and said, "It's been settled. The new county head is Ding Mengxiang, the deputy director of the city's Development and Reform Commission. I know this person; he's a tough character, and it was Lv Yifeng who promoted him. He might take office as early as tomorrow."

Generally speaking, the process of changing a county head takes a long time.

But this time, it happened with the speed of a thunderbolt.

Li Xiaomin just left today, and Ding Mengxiang is coming to fill the position tomorrow. This indicates that Jiang Chuo's visit to Wen'an City this time was quite effective.

After leaving the County Party Courtyard,

Chen Fang was still somewhat worried.

He wasn't afraid of losing his future prospects.

Rather, it had been a while since he arrived in Jinde County and there was still no news of Tian Shaoguang.

Since he subdued Shao Rui,

he had left it to him to inquire about Tian Shaoguang.

Although they had clarified his identity and registration information, no one knew whether he was actually in Jinde County.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind. Regardless, he could only take things one step at a time.

As he turned a corner,

he suddenly saw a large crowd gathered at the intersection.

They were making a lot of noise, it appeared there was a quarrel happening.

Chen Fang pushed through the crowd and saw two women standing in the middle, both looking to be in their thirties.
