Chapter 178: Lao Wang's Counterattack

st Ding Yongshan and Yang Guangyue did not go anywhere else to eat, but just had a quick meal in the canteen of the Provincial Party Committee.

During the meal, the two exchanged views on some recent events in the province. By the time the secretary reminded them to start the meeting, the conversation had already lasted for three hours.

The two of them immediately stood up and walked towards the meeting room upstairs.

By the time the two of them walked into the conference room, there were already about ten people sitting there waiting.

When everyone saw these two people come in at the same time, their expressions were different, but it was clear that they were very surprised.

Yang Guangyue walked in first and sat down in an empty seat. Ding Yongshan followed closely behind Yang Guangyue and sat at the top seat in the conference room.

As if he wanted everyone to digest this information, Ding Yongshan did not immediately preside over the meeting after sitting down. Instead, he sorted out the few documents in front of him.

After a while, Ding Yongshan coughed lightly and said, "Originally, this meeting was supposed to be held two days ago. There's a reason why it's been delayed until now. I wonder if everyone is aware of this."

Everyone in the conference room was obviously accustomed to Ding Yongshan's way of speaking and knew that he would speak next, so no one responded to his words.

"Our Heyuan leader Liu Yanzhe was attacked in Yangcheng."

At this point, Ding Yongshan's face changed. He suddenly slammed the table and asked everyone, "Do you feel ashamed?"

When he slammed his hand on the table, the lid of the porcelain teacup on the table jumped up. After he finished questioning everyone, he slowly put away the teacup, then looked up at the man in police uniform sitting beside him and said, "Old Wang, tell me how this matter should be handled?"

Everyone turned their eyes to a man in police uniform, knowing that he was in trouble.

Old Wang in police uniform is in charge of the security work in Guangyue. He has good working ability. The improvement of public security conditions in Guangyue in recent years is due to his efforts.

However, because he was promoted by the previous Guangyue leadership and belonged to a different faction from the current Ding Yongshan, he was often criticized by Ding Yongshan.

Old Wang glanced up at Yang Guangyue and said, "Secretary Ding, we are still investigating this matter. Now..."

"Let me ask you, how long has it been since this happened?" Before Old Wang could finish, Ding Yongshan, who sat at the head of the table, spoke up. "Mr. Liu is at Guangyue right now. He hasn't rested since he learned about this. He's demanding an explanation from Guangyue. If anything happens to his health, will you be responsible?"

Old Wang pursed his lips twice but said nothing.

This matter was originally his dereliction of duty, so it is understandable that Ding Yongshan pointed out his responsibility.

"Secretary Yongshan," Yang Guangyue, who was sitting nearby, suddenly said, "Old Wang's men are still investigating. Let's give him two more days."

The man sitting across from Yang Guangyue laughed and said, "Forty-eight hours have passed since the incident, and the police still don't have a clue. Let alone whether the murderer is a man or a woman, they haven't even determined how many people there are. Isn't this efficiency too low?"

"Deputy Secretary Xia, do you think you have the ability to solve this problem?" Yang Guangyue asked the man opposite him. "I remember you were in charge of land affairs. When did you become interested in public security work?"

Yang Guangyue then looked at everyone in the conference room and said with a smile, "I think we can set up a working group headed by Deputy Secretary Xia to be in charge of this matter."

Yang Guangyue's words caused a burst of laughter in the office.

If Tang Shuo were present, he would definitely have redefined his impression of Yang Guangyue.

"you……"

Deputy Secretary Xia pointed at Yang Guangyue with trembling fingers, unable to speak.

How could he know anything about public security? Besides, there was no way this job would fall on him, no matter what.

"alright."

Ding Yongshan waved his hand. After glancing at Yang Guangyue, he said to Lao Wang, "A report on this matter must be produced within 24 hours."

Lao Wang nodded and said, "I have something to report."

Ding Yongshan frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Old Wang stood up and passed around some documents in his hand. He then said, "At noon, a thief surrendered to the Qixia District Police Station. He broke into a safe in a residential building and stole $10 million in cash and jewelry worth millions."

The muscles on Ding Yongshan's face twitched, and then he looked at the information in front of him calmly.

"The photos in the documents in front of you are of the stolen goods," Lao Wang explained. "After receiving the alarm, the Qixia District police rushed directly to the scene, hoping to contact the owner, but he wasn't home at the time."

Old Wang looked up at Ding Yongshan and continued, "We asked the residents next door, and they didn't recognize the owner either. To be on the safe side, our police contacted the Housing Authority and then rushed in, hoping to quickly find the owner's information."

Although this case involves 10 million US dollars, everyone in the conference room knows that there must be a hidden story, otherwise Lao Wang would not have spoken of it so solemnly.

"We found thirteen property certificates and equity certificates for dozens of companies in the owner's safe. The property certificates and equity certificates clearly showed that they belonged to Ding Xinran."

Wow...

Several surprised shouts suddenly rang out in the conference room, and a big-bellied man who was drinking water even spit out the tea he was drinking.

But Lao Wang continued to speak.

"Later, news came from the Housing Authority that the house belonged to Secretary Ding."

When Lao Wang finished speaking, there was no sound in the meeting room.

Most people in the meeting room knew that Ding Xinran had been reported by real name a few days ago, but that incident only involved Ding Xinran himself. In addition, Ding Xinran had already died, so everyone chose to forget about it.

Moreover, the things that Ding Xinran did were not enough to be used as a spearhead to attack Ding Yongshan. It is not easy to overthrow Ding Yongshan who has reached his current position.

Lao Wang took a big risk by directly raising this matter at the Standing Committee meeting. Not to mention the consequences of failing to sue Ding Yongshan, even if he successfully sued Ding Yongshan, no leader would reuse him in the future.

This reporting method that is against the rules will not be liked by anyone, no matter which side you are on.

Ding Yongshan leaned dejectedly in his chair, closed his eyes and thought about this matter carefully.

This was undoubtedly a frame-up. There were no such things in his room in Qixia District.

The house in Qixia District was left to his father, Ding Xinran's grandfather, after his death. He has never been there since the transfer of ownership, and Ding Xinran will definitely not go there either.

After receiving the call about the theft at noon, he didn't take it seriously at all, because he knew that there was nothing valuable there. The sudden appearance of the safe must be someone deliberately framing him.

But it was too late to say anything now, even he himself would not believe these words!

"By the way, I also want to say something." Yang Guangyue suddenly said.

Everyone in the conference room immediately turned their attention to Yang Guangyue, and most of them had guessed that this matter was instructed by Yang Guangyue.

Yang Guangyue pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and passed it to the side, saying, "A while ago, there was a post online about a bully oppressing the people that caused quite a stir. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. A few days ago, while I was having dinner, the bar owner came up to me and handed me this IOU for 20 million."

Yang Guangyue's previous series of words were directly ignored by everyone. No one believed his words at all. Everyone's attention was attracted by the IOU of 20 million.

After the IOU was passed around, it stopped in front of a man with a black face.

The dark-faced man stood up, walked over to Ding Yongshan and said, "Secretary Ding, how do you explain this?"

Ding Yongshan knew that he had fallen into a trap this time. The enemy was well prepared and did not give him any chance to resist, so he stopped struggling.

He didn't answer the black-faced man. Instead, he looked at Yang Guangyue next to him and asked without thinking, "Do you know Tang Shuo?"

Yang Guangyue shook his head and denied it, "What Tang Shuo?"

Seeing that Yang Guangyue refused to tell the truth, Ding Yongshan sat there with a dead look on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing this, the dark-faced man said to the others in the meeting room, "I've already reported this matter. The higher-ups have ordered Secretary Ding to be temporarily quarantined. Everyone, please leave if you have nothing else to do!"

Wow wow wow…

Everyone in the conference room left without a moment's pause, as if a plague had broken out.

After everyone in the conference room left, two muscular armed police officers walked in. The dark-faced man looked at Ding Yongshan and said, "Secretary Ding, let's go."
