Chapter 209 Confession

That night, when He Minxu, Wang Haishan and others had eaten and drunk their fill and wanted to take a look at the final results, they were surprised to find that the matter had become known to everyone.

The small Zhaoyang County was on the Internet's hot search twice within a month!

Wang Haishan was sweating. He looked at He Minxu, who was a few years younger than him, as if asking for help. "Leader, what should we do now?"

This question is very simple. I am doing things for you, so you can't not clean up my mess, right?

I was already nervous about doing this to you, but now I'm extending my evil claws to a reporter, a deputy county magistrate, and an internet celebrity. You can't say you have no choice, right?

He Minxu remained calm after hearing this, which made everyone feel a little relieved. He picked up his wine glass and took a sip, then said with a smile, "What can we do? Just let it go. Weren't you very cautious? Didn't that Cripple Chen leave Shannan yesterday?"

Wang Haishan sighed helplessly, "Leader, this is even more suspicious! They are arresting people for Chen Quezi, but Chen Quezi has already left the country. So why is Chen Quezi still arresting people?"

"Okay, let's not discuss this anymore."

He Minxu waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Jiang Ningyue is gone, hurry up and find me some new girls. I want to beat up ten of them tonight! Hahahaha!"

When the others saw He Minxu's expression, they immediately laughed and also clamored to fight one against many today.

Wang Haishan sighed helplessly. Why did he feel so uneasy?

Chen Feng, the director of the Finance Bureau, said with a smile, "Secretary, stop sighing. If Governor He is like this, then he must have a foolproof plan."

"I hope so." Wang Haishan nodded helplessly.

That night, Jiang Ningyue completed the statement at the police station.

When I left, I was surprised to see Lin Nan now.

"County Magistrate Lin?"

County Magistrate Lin smiled and nodded at Jiang Ningyue. "County Magistrate Jiang, after hearing about this, I immediately came to the police station. Are you okay?"

"No."

Jiang Ningyue smiled and shook her head, "Thank you, County Magistrate Lin, for your concern. These are just a few petty thieves. They can't hurt me."

"Too."

County Magistrate Lin smiled at the surrounding police officers and said, "Our County Magistrate Jiang is a man who remains calm even when facing armed criminals!"

The police officers around smiled and nodded.

County Magistrate Lin pointed to the conference room nearby and said, "County Magistrate Jiang, I want to talk to you about something."

"good."

Jiang Ningyue nodded, and the two of them walked into the conference room. County Magistrate Lin pondered for a moment and said, "County Magistrate Jiang, your actions at the dinner tonight were a bit rash. He Minxu is, after all, the Vice Governor. Moreover, he's only in his early fifties and has a promising future! It's not a good idea to openly offend him."

Jiang Ningyue chuckled and said, "I don't care. At worst, I can just pack up and leave and go back to Haizhou."

County Magistrate Lin smiled bitterly, "You're packing up and leaving. What will happen to the people of Zhaoyang County?"

Jiang Ningyue's expression remained unchanged as she continued, "How can a deputy provincial governor really prevent the development of an entire county? County Magistrate Lin, please stop making a fuss!"

County Magistrate Lin was silent for a moment. In fact, Lin Nan came to Jiang Ningyue this time to seek an alliance.

Among the three forces in the county, County Chief Lin's power is the weakest. In his daily work, he can only win over some centrists and fence-sitters.

However, if Wang Haishan steps down, then he will have the opportunity to take office.

After all, Lin Nan also has a backer, and his backer is Gao Yi, Secretary of the Taozhou Municipal Party Committee.

It's just that Gao Yi didn't want to break up with He Minxu because of him, so Lin Nan was suppressed all the time.

If he had Jiang Ningyue's full support, then he, the county magistrate, could also realize his ambitions.

It's just that it's very difficult for people to be sincere with each other, especially in the officialdom. If you are close to others, they will treat you as a fool.

Lin Nan hesitated again and again, especially since Jiang Ningyue had a falling out with Wang Haishan and He Minxu today and was attacked at night.

This made Jiang Ningyue stand on the opposite side of Wang Haishan without a doubt. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Therefore, Lin Nan decided to win over Jiang Ningyue.

Lin Nan took a deep breath, stood up, and stared at Jiang Ningyue with bright eyes.

"County Magistrate Jiang, you are a fair and just person. Even before you came, I heard many of your deeds, which deeply shocked me. I am also heartbroken that you have encountered such a thing today. Zhaoyang County is undoubtedly an impoverished county. The farmers in the county work hard in the fields and earn very little money in a year."

Lin Nan held up a finger and paced around the conference room. "From the first day I arrived in Zhaoyang County, I conducted over a month of research. I visited every town and village in the county, gaining a firsthand understanding of Zhaoyang County's development difficulties and seeking opportunities for development!"

"But, as I'm sure you're aware, although our county is poor, it's home to numerous gangs. These individuals control and monopolize the county's few resources, seeking private gain for themselves and their families! I cannot allow an old, broken cart to stand in the way and hinder the development of Zhaoyang County. So, County Magistrate Jiang, I boldly invite you to join me in this endeavor!"

Jiang Ningyue looked at Lin Nan in surprise.

Lin Nan has fair skin, a slightly plump figure, wears glasses, and smiles at everyone he meets.

In Jiang Ningyue's eyes, he had always been kind. However, Lin Nan was now unusually serious, with a tough look in his eyes.

"County Magistrate Lin, what do you want me to do?"

Lin Nan took a deep breath and said, "County Magistrate Jiang, are you aware that those tourist attractions you recently inspected were suspected of serious corruption?"

Jiang Ningyue nodded, "I know."

“…”

Lin Nan paused for a few seconds. He hadn't expected Jiang Ningyue to know this, nor had he expected her to answer so frankly. "Over ten billion! If all this money were given to our county government, the entire Zhaoyang County would be transformed. But what about now? We just have a few more man-made scenic spots. What's the point?"

Jiang Ningyue nodded, she agreed with this.

Lin Nan continued, "I plan to report Wang Haishan to the Provincial Party Committee under his real name. If I fail, County Magistrate Jiang, the future of this entire county rests in your hands."

Jiang Ningyue stared at Lin Nan, "Why didn't you report it before?"

Lin Nan smiled bitterly. "The current county party committee and government are divided into two groups: Wang Haishan's faction and the centrists. If I fall, the centrists will quickly turn to Wang Haishan. I don't dare to bet on it. Of course, I was reluctant to give up my official hat before. Just now, I was still thinking about how to ask you to report it. But, as soon as the words came to my lips, I regretted it. How can I let you do something like this? Let me do it."

Jiang Ningyue nodded and said with a smile, "Alright, County Magistrate Lin, I agree with everything you said. However, forget about the real-name report. It will indeed have some impact on your official career. If it gets out that the county magistrate has reported the county party secretary by real name, wouldn't that be a laughing stock?"

Lin Nan looked at Jiang Ningyue, "Then, County Magistrate Jiang, do you have any good ideas?"

"I have no choice." Jiang Ningyue smiled, "But I have a feeling that good news will come in a few days."

"Why?" County Magistrate Lin asked.

"No reason."

Jiang Ningyue chuckled, "A woman's sixth sense."

County Magistrate Lin: “?”
