"You really haven't been bought by Chen Fang?"
Jiang Tuo asked in disbelief.
Li Yonggang nodded and raised two fingers. "I swear, if Chen Fang had bought me off, I'd be hit by a car the moment I stepped out."
Such words in officialdom are not to be trusted.
But Jiang Tuo knew that after today's committee meeting, only Li Yonggang came in with him.
Those who used to drink and dine with him now avoided him as if he were the plague.
"Investigate! Check thoroughly! I want to know exactly what Chen Fang is up to!"
Jiang Tuo shouted angrily.
Li Yonggang hesitated for a moment and said, "County Chief Jiang, the situation isn't right now. Should we report this to Mr. Sun and let him step in to control the situation?"
"At this point, I've lost my standing in the county committee. If we don't do something, the situation might get out of control. It looks like it's time to lay all our cards on the table."
These words.
They made Li Yonggang break out in a cold sweat.
He nodded.
And said, "County Chief Jiang, I'll look into it right away."
After speaking,
he hurriedly turned and left.
After he left,
Jiang Tuo slumped onto the sofa.
He still couldn't figure out what had happened recently.
It was understandable that Chen Fang had bought off those committee members.
But how come the police under the Public Security Bureau wouldn't follow orders?
No one should be able to pull that off!
Of course there is someone who can do it.
That person is Big Eye.
The Public Security Bureau is Big Eye's umbrella, but at the same time, Big Eye also has dirt on these police officers.
Guanghe County is corrupt from top to bottom.
Gambling is rampant within the Public Security Bureau.
These police officers' favorite post-work activity is to gamble at Big Eye's place. Over time, Big Eye naturally collected their "evidence of crime."
As long as Big Eye blackmails them,
they're not hard to deal with at all.
This is why Li Yonggang's orders were disobeyed.
After all, compared to Li Yonggang's anger, stripping off their police uniforms was far more terrifying.
At this moment,
in Chen Fang's office,
Zhang Shihua, Qu Hongying, and Yu Zhengchuan had all joined him.
Although the faces of these three were filled with the joy of victory,
Chen Fang remained calm, showing no excitement.
He stood at the window with his hands behind his back, murmuring, "It's not as I imagined. Today's win was a bit too easy."
"What? Isn't winning good? You should have seen Jiang Tuo's face when he left the meeting room. He looked like he was about to cry,"
Zhang Shihua said with a giggle, covering her mouth.
Chen Fang turned around.
And said, "I also expected to win, but not so easily. I thought Sun Yangqian would definitely make a move, but there wasn't a peep from his side."
"What's so strange about that? Maybe Sun Yangqian doesn't care who controls Guanghe County, as long as his interests are protected,"
Qu Hongying said.
Chen Fang shook his head.
And asked, "If you were Sun Yangqian, doing illegal deals and always secretly assisted by Jiang Tuo, would you let such a person be taken down?"
"Maybe Sun Yangqian hasn't gotten the news yet?"
Qu Hongying asked.
Chen Fang shook his head again.
And said, "Impossible. Sun Yangqian's control over Guanghe County's power is higher than Jiang Tuo's. Whether it's on my side or Jiang Tuo's, he must have planted his people. Even though we acted very discreetly, there's no way Sun Yangqian wouldn't notice. His complete lack of reaction is unusual, very unusual!"
"Because Sun Yangqian wants to use you to get rid of Jiang Tuo!"
As everyone was puzzled,
the door was suddenly pushed open.
Ma Shizhen walked in and said to everyone.
"Director Ma!"
Seeing Ma Shizhen,
Chen Fang was somewhat surprised.
Ma Shizhen walked up,
held Chen Fang's hand tightly, and said excitedly, "Secretary Chen, I underestimated you. I... I... In any case, from now on, my life is yours. Just tell me what to do, as long as it can give Guanghe County a clear sky again, I will die with no regrets!"
These words.
He said them very firmly.
They moved everyone present.
Chen Fang held his hand.
And said, "Director Ma, dying for these scumbags is not worth it. We must not only disperse the clouds over Guanghe County but also ensure the safety of all of us."
"Yes! Secretary Chen, you are impressive."
Ma Shizhen said sincerely.
After greeting everyone to sit down,
Yu Zhengchuan locked the door.
Chen Fang asked, "Director Ma, you just said that Sun Yangqian is using me to get rid of Jiang Tuo. What's going on?"
Ma Shizhen paused and answered, "Jiang Tuo and Sun Yangqian's son, Sun Zhenggang, have been secretly collaborating. They've been consolidating Sun Yangqian's power in the shadows."
Upon hearing this,
everyone present was stunned.
"How do you know this?"
Yu Zhengchuan asked.
Ma Shizhen said, "All these years, I've been compliant in front of everyone, so no one in Guanghe County took me seriously. But secretly, I've been gathering all kinds of information. The recent death of Wang Liuqing, she had long been Sun Zhenggang's woman."
"Is that true? The son messing around with his father's woman?"
Yu Zhengchuan exclaimed.
Ma Shizhen nodded.
And said, "Sun Yangqian is indeed no good, but his son, Sun Zhenggang, is the truly terrifying one and a master manipulator. Maybe Sun Yangqian already knows about these things."
"If that's the case, why doesn't Sun Yangqian get rid of him or drive him out of Guanghe County?"
Chen Fang asked.
Ma Shizhen sneered.
And said, "It's not that he doesn't want to, he can't. Of the four major industries under Sun Yangqian, three have already been controlled. Now only Big Eye's operation remains. Big Eye has a loyal crew, which is why Sun Zhenggang is wary. Think about it, hasn't Sun Yangqian been absent from public events for a while?"
"That does seem to be the case. Even last time we met, it was arranged by Jiang Tuo,"
Chen Fang nodded and said.
On the surface, Sun Yangqian was still the spiritual leader of the entire group.
But behind the scenes,
it was Sun Zhenggang who called the shots.
So Ma Shizhen deduced that Sun Yangqian must have known the inside story, which is why he stayed behind the scenes.
If he could use Chen Fang's hand to get rid of Jiang Tuo, why wouldn't he?
"Damn!"
Chen Fang suddenly stood up.
Everyone looked at him in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Fang took a deep breath.
And said, "This time, it was Big Eye who helped me keep the Public Security Bureau in check. If Jiang Tuo decides to investigate, it won't be hard to find out that Big Eye's behind it. If he does, they'll definitely make a big move..."
