Chapter 1210 - 1207: Tang Yumeng Resigns
When Chen Mingguo heard that Xie Tianyi and Zheng Hongbing had been captured, the last straw he was clinging to was gone, and cold sweat broke out on his face, his legs became weak.
Thud...
Chen Mingguo collapsed and sat down on the ground.
Under the leadership of Secretary Liu, the investigation was swiftly carried out, and it became clear that Chen Mingguo, as Jiangbei City's second-in-command, conspired with Xie Tianyi to falsely accuse Tang Yumeng. He was immediately removed from his position as mayor, expelled from the party, and, along with Xie Tianyi, handed over to the judicial department.
As for Zheng Hongbing, other issues were also uncovered, and the Emperor Nightclub was directly shut down, with severe legal punishment awaiting him.
What you do is watched by the heavens. If someone crosses the line, it might not be discovered immediately, but the truth will eventually come to light.
Tang Yumeng regained her innocence and continued to serve as the City Committee Secretary of Jiangbei City. However, at this moment, she suddenly felt an inexplicable fatigue.
This fatigue was not physical but mental. She suddenly didn't want to continue, wishing to leave behind all worldly chaos and soar freely in the vast world.
With this thought, Tang Yumeng suddenly wanted to see Lin Chuan, promised to become his wife, live an ordinary life, and bear his children. People are emotional creatures, and once a thought takes root, it is easy to feel a surge of impulse. Tang Yumeng was in this mindset now, and after her decision, she immediately submitted her resignation as Jiangbei City's City Committee Secretary to the Provincial Committee.
Upon receiving Tang Yumeng's resignation, Secretary Liu first tried to persuade her, but to no avail. Eventually, Song Jianguo himself tried to convince her to stay in position. However, Tang Yumeng insisted on resigning from her post as Jiangbei City's City Committee Secretary, and in the end, the Provincial Committee was left with no choice but to approve her resignation.
Tang Yumeng's resignation caused an uproar within the entire City Committee. Many people did not understand why Tang Yumeng, being barely in her early thirties with a promising future, could act so foolishly.
Luo Guoqing also didn't understand why Tang Yumeng suddenly resigned. He approached her twice, hoping she would consider more carefully, but Tang Yumeng only responded with a slight smile.
After Tang Yumeng resigned, there was a major reshuffle in the leadership of Jiangbei City's City Committee. The new City Committee Secretary was Gu Zhentong, transferred from Linjiang City. The mayor position was filled by Secretary Feng from Jiangbei City's original Political and Legal Affairs Committee.
In this major reshuffle of Jiangbei City personnel, Luo Guoqing also climbed a step up, becoming the Director of Jiangbei City's General Office.
As for Chen Mingguo, after being handed over to the judicial department, further investigation revealed more issues, and he was ultimately sentenced to seven years in prison.
Xie Tianyi's fate was quite different from Chen Mingguo. The Xie family was a highly esteemed family in Beijing, and Xie Tianyi's father wouldn't stand by and watch his son go to prison. After some maneuvering, Xie Tianyi was sentenced to two years in prison with a medical parole.
Things seemed to have settled down, but Chen Mingguo was not an ordinary character. After his release, he began to retaliate against Tang Yumeng, causing a lot of trouble.
As for Zhang Wenhui, because he and Song Xiaojia exposed the false accusations against Tang Yumeng by Chen Mingguo and Xie Tianyi, he was rewarded by his superiors, and it was suggested he should assume the position of Deputy Director of Jiangbei City's Public Security Bureau. However, Zhang Wenhui declined the offer.
The reason for Zhang Wenhui's refusal was quite simple. Now, having regained his reincarnated body as Ksitigarbha, he understood that he was just a passerby in this world. Once he completed his mission, he would return to the underworld.
Director Hu also took a step forward in this major personnel reshuffle, succeeding the former Secretary Feng from the Political and Legal Affairs Committee to become Jiangbei City's Political and Legal Affairs Committee Secretary.
The Yin Soul that Zhang Wenhui summoned back revealed during interrogation that someone had helped it escape from the underworld to the human world.
When Zhang Wenhui asked who helped them escape to the human world, the Yin Soul said it didn't know these people's identities; it only vaguely heard them mention something about Maoshan Tao.
Upon hearing the name Maoshan Tao, Zhang Wenhui was startled. Could the escape of the Yin Spirits from the underworld be the work of the Maoshan Tao group?
Though he guessed that it was the work of the Maoshan Tao group, Zhang Wenhui couldn't figure out why they would do such a thing or what benefits it held for them.
Unable to figure it out, Zhang Wenhui stopped thinking about it, focusing instead on capturing all the Yin Spirits that had fled to the human world and sending them back to the underworld.
...
The Ye family was a notable family in Linjiang City, and the Tiansheng Group was the largest private enterprise group in the city and even the entire province.
The chairman of the Tiansheng Group was Ye Tiansheng, who was the backbone of the Ye family and served as the chairman of Tiansheng Group.
As the richest man in Linjiang City, Ye Tiansheng's only regret was not having a son, just a daughter.
Ye Tiansheng's daughter was none other than Ye Ling, who had been saved twice by Feng'er.
In Kunlun Mountain, Lin Chuan and Feng Lingfeng had Feng'er take Ye Ling home for two reasons. One reason was that Ye Ling had the Nine Yin Absolute Vein and needed Feng'er's protection, and the other reason was that Feng'er could save Ye Ling.
In Kunlun Mountain, Lin Chuan and Feng Lingfeng had Feng'er take Ye Ling home for two reasons. One reason was that Ye Ling had the Nine Yin Absolute Vein and needed Feng'er's protection, and the other reason was that Feng'er could save Ye Ling.
As previously mentioned, women with the Nine Yin Absolute Vein usually do not live past the age of twenty-five. To save Ye Ling, it requires a man with a Pure Yang Body to engage with her, using the man's Pure Yang Qi to unblock her obstructed Yin Vein.
The journey down the mountain seemed to pass quickly, and by noon on the third day, Ye Ling and Feng'er arrived in Linjiang City.
After leaving the station, Feng'er curiously looked at everything around. So many people here, so lively.
Although Feng'er is almost two hundred years old this year, he has always been cultivating with his master on Kunlun Mountain and has never been to a big city.
Seeing Feng'er's silly appearance, Ye Ling couldn't help but smile.
The boy in front of her, who looked about the same age as her, was indeed quite cute. Ye Ling found it amusing and said to Feng'er, "Hey, I've known you for quite a while now, but I still don't know your name."
Feng'er turned to look at the smiling Ye Ling and said, "My name is Feng'er."
Feng'er, what a strange name, Ye Ling said, "Feng'er, do you not have a surname?"
Feng'er said, "I don't know. Ever since I became aware of things, I've been by my master's side, and she has always called me this."
Ye Ling was taken aback, saying, "Alright, then I'll just call you Feng'er. My name is Ye Ling."
Feng'er merely smiled faintly and said, "I understand."
Regarding Feng'er's attitude, Ye Ling was a bit displeased and pouted, saying, "Feng'er, does it seem like you don't want to be with me?"
Feng'er's expression froze, and he shook his head, saying, "No, not at all. Let's not talk about that. Where do you live? Let me quickly take you home first."
Ye Ling's temper flared up, she snorted and turned to leave. Feng'er chuckled wryly and quickly followed.
Following Ye Ling to a luxurious villa, Feng'er looked at the villa and said to Ye Ling, "Wow, you live here? It seems like your family is really affluent."
Ye Ling playfully rolled her eyes at Feng'er and reached out to press the doorbell.
In a short while, a middle-aged woman in her forties appeared, and upon seeing Ye Ling, she called out in surprise, "Miss, you're back! Your dad has been worried sick these past few days."
Ye Ling smiled and led Feng'er through the door.
The main entrance of the villa was still some distance away, and they guessed at the path some hundred meters along a cobblestone path before reaching the main door.
When they arrived in front of the main door, Feng'er furrowed his brows, as he suddenly felt something amiss.
Feng'er had been training in the mental method of Kunlun's lineage. To be honest, Kunlun's training methods aren't something just anyone can practice; they strictly follow a one-master-one-disciple system due to the rarity of suitable disciples.
In the Kunlun lineage, females must be extraordinarily physically gifted to be chosen as disciples, while males must first possess a Pure Yang Body full of righteousness.
The Pure Yang Body referred to here isn't about being a virgin male, but about possessing an inherent righteous and masculine aura since birth.
The reason Feng'er sensed something was wrong was that the villa was surrounded by a chilly aura.
This chilly aura might only be detectable by someone like Feng'er with a Pure Yang Body.
Ye Ling also noticed Feng'er's somewhat off expression and said, "Feng'er, what's wrong?"
Feng'er looked around slowly and said, "There's a chilly aura surrounding your home, done intentionally by someone."
Ye Ling listened to Feng'er's words, paused, and said, "Don't joke around. I don't feel anything."
Feng'er said with a serious face, "I'm not joking with you. This chilly aura is hovering over your family's surroundings. Although it won't cause harm to your family in the short term, over time, there will be bloodshed."
Ye Ling was startled and said, "No way, what should we do now?"
Feng'er took a deep breath, his face solemn, and said, "I need to see your dad."
Ye Ling had witnessed Feng'er's skills on Kunlun Mountain. Seeing his serious expression now, she knew he wasn't joking, and quickly said, "Follow me."
Ye Ling led Feng'er through the villa's main entrance to a large living room, exquisitely decorated. On the sofa sat a man in his forties.
Upon seeing this man, Ye Ling happily called out "Dad" and promptly rushed into the man's arms.
Indeed, this was Ye Ling's father, Ye Tiansheng, Chairman of the Tiansheng Group.
