The conversation had reached this point.

If Ding Yuan didn't speak now, there would be no getting past this.

He snorted coldly and said, "Secretary Wang, regardless of the outcome, shouldn't we wait for the lab report? Don't you think your attitude right now seems somewhat biased on purpose?"

"Is that so? Then I'll just sit here and wait," he said, "and when the report is out, you can take Comrade Chen Fang away."

Having said that.

He sat down heavily on the sofa.

Ding Yuan glanced at Ye Wenxu, signaling him to step out for a moment.

Just as Ye Wenxu was preparing to leave.

Wang Mian coughed.

He said, "I said I'm sitting here waiting, no one here is allowed to leave until the report is out."

These words effectively prevented Ye Wenxu from leaving.

Everyone had no choice but to settle down and wait patiently.

This wait lasted for nearly an hour.

Suddenly, Ye Wenxu's phone rang.

Everyone's gaze involuntarily fell upon him.

Ye Wenxu took out his phone and said, "It's from the forensic department."

Ding Yuan immediately said, "Answer it, put it on speaker, let Secretary Wang listen in as well."

As he said this, he was still very confident.

"Hello, speak."

Ye Wenxu said after pressing the answer button.

On the phone, a voice said, "Report to Captain Ye, the liquid on the underwear has been tested, it's shower gel."

This answer.

Left nearly everyone on the scene dumbfounded in an instant.

Especially Ye Wenxu, who asked in disbelief, "Could you repeat what it was?"

"It's shower gel, we've checked, it's the same component as the shower gel used in the suspect's home."

The voice on the phone repeated.

This time, it was as quiet as a graveyard.

Wang Mian slapped the armrest of the sofa, stood up, and said, "Captain Ye, two arrests, both framed, I have good reason to doubt whether you can still be the captain of the criminal police team."

The once confident Ye Wenxu, at this point, had lost all expression in his eyes.

He didn't know how to refute properly for a moment.

Wang Mian sneered and said, "As for this matter, I'll report it truthfully to Secretary Song. It seems that the political and legal system of Jinde County needs a thorough restructuring."

These words made Guan Cunzhong shiver.

An issue that could be big or small, if pursued from above, he might not be able to keep his position as the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.

Realizing this.

He quickly said, "Rest assured, Secretary Wang, since this incident happened in our Public Security Bureau, the Bureau will definitely care about it."

Having finished speaking.

He looked at Ye Wenxu and said, "Captain Ye, in the name of the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, I am temporarily suspending all your duties, pending further management from the political department."

When Ye Wenxu heard this order.

He was momentarily stupefied.

He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but in the end, he swallowed his words.

The farce was over.

Everyone thought that Chen Fang would definitely be caught this time, but unexpectedly, a turnaround occurred at a crucial moment. If Wang Mian hadn't arrived, Ye Wenxu wouldn't have been in much trouble, but with Wang Mian's arrival, it meant that Song Yiqiang was backing Chen Fang.

Since when did Chen Fang have a connection with Song Yiqiang?

Ding Yuan watched their retreating figures and for some reason, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Following closely behind Wang Mian.

They walked out of the county government building.

They found a secluded place.

Chen Fang said, "Thank you, Secretary Wang."

At that moment, Wang Mian's expression turned cold as he said, "I'm just doing what the leadership instructed me to do. The leader also asked me to tell you that he hopes you can keep your promise. If you can't, you should know what the consequences will be, right?"

"Please tell the leader to rest assured that if Chen Fang can say it, he can certainly do it," Chen Fang replied.

"I hope so."

After dropping these words, Wang Mian immediately got into the car and left.

He came in a hurry.

And left in a hurry.

Chen Fang let out a long sigh.

He turned and looked toward the county government building's window.

There, Ding Yuan was also standing at a window, looking across at him.

"Old Ding, should we report this matter to Mayor Lv?"

Inside the office, Guan Cunzhong asked anxiously.

Ding Yuan's face was grim as he shook his head and said, "Of course, this is good news for us."

"Good news? What do you mean?" Guan Cunzhong asked, puzzled.

Ding Yuan smiled and said, "This old fox, Lv Yifeng, do you think he would completely trust us?"

Guan Cunzhong thought for a moment and asked, "Wouldn't he?"

"Of course not. Though it appears he depends on us now, it's actually for Ding Mengxiang. He wants to use our power to help Ding Mengxiang quickly establish a firm foothold in Jinde County. With Xiao Xiao's incident, Chen Fang played a meritorious role. Why not let Ding Mengxiang directly strike against Chen Fang? He wants to use us as a sacrificial pawn. Once we eliminate Chen Fang, our usefulness will end. At that time, Lv Yifeng will let Ding Mengxiang harvest our power," Ding Yuan explained.

"Chen Fang is a smart man. The moment he analyzed the situation thoroughly, I knew he would surely seek a powerful backer for self-preservation. In Wen'an City, the only person capable of confronting Lv Yifeng is Secretary Song Yiqiang. Since Secretary Song has intervened, our loss this time is not due to our incompetence," he continued.

Upon hearing this,

Guan Cunzhong seemed to have an epiphany.

He asked, "So, you want to use Chen Fang for self-preservation?"

Ding Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Not just for self-preservation; we also want to incite Chen Fang into clashing with Ding Mengxiang. As the saying goes, 'When the snipe and the clam grapple, it's the fisherman who profits.'"

Guan Cunzhong frowned and asked, "But Chen Fang is just a director of the education department. Can he really compete with Ding Mengxiang? Isn't that just hitting a stone with an egg?"

Ding Yuan laughed and replied, "Xiao Xiao was a deputy mayor, yet didn't Chen Fang take him down?"

Guan Cunzhong thought about it and felt it made sense.

After the calm,

Ding Yuan walked out of the county government building.

He hailed a taxi, drove around the town randomly, and then stopped at an intersection.

He looked around at the side of the road and then walked into the small grove behind the street.

Lighting a cigarette, he had only taken a few puffs when footsteps approached from behind.

Ding Yuan turned abruptly to see a young man had already approached him from behind.

"Is anyone following you?" Ding Yuan asked.

The young man shook his head and said, "I was just out for a walk."

Ding Yuan nodded and said, "This matter, you haven't left any traces, have you? Chen Fang is very clever; a tiny detail can reveal a lot to him."

The young man smiled and replied, "No, I believe he shouldn't have any suspicions."

"Good, then proceed as planned. Keep in touch with Chen Fang and, by all means, ensure his safety. That person resorts to ruthless measures to achieve his goals," Ding Yuan said.

The young man was taken aback and asked, "Are you saying he's going to harm Chen Fang?"

Ding Yuan nodded and said, "Moving Chen Fang to Jinde County's Education Bureau was a risky move. Li Duming and I believed that given Chen Fang's nature, he was bound to act against Xiao Xiao. Unfortunately, we overestimated Jiang Chuo's feelings for Xiao Xiao, thinking that if Xiao Xiao were in trouble, Jiang Chuo would certainly intervene, allowing us to counteract. However, the outcome wasn't as we expected. We can't let Jiang Chuo progress further, so I must take the risk myself."

The young man asked, "Aren't you afraid of what happened to Tan Yandong happening to you again?"

Ding Yuan's gaze became determined.

He sighed and said, "Tan Yandong spent a long time gaining Jiang Chuo's trust, only to fail at the last moment. Over the years, I've been building the persona of being insatiably greedy, for the same reason. Now that the responsibility has fallen upon me, I naturally have to shoulder it fully."

The young man was silent for a while.

He let out a long sigh and said, "Mr. Ding, rest assured. As a student of Professor Chen, I will also do my utmost to protect Chen Fang. In critical times, I am willing to sacrifice my life."

Ding Yuan nodded appreciatively, his gaze distant as he said, "I hope that when the truth comes to light, Chen Fang won't hold a grudge against me..."
