Chapter 148: Speculation and profiteering, arrested and criticized



Seeing that Bai Ying and Shen Ao escaped like this, Qiao Xiaoling was so angry that she almost fainted.

What a great opportunity!

As long as it is confirmed that Chen Ao put unknown powder in the pig feed, which involves food safety issues, Bai Ying, who is Chen Ao's wife, will not be able to clear her name. If she takes the opportunity to fan the flames, she can separate the salt factory from Bai Ying.

Then she could talk to Yang Mingwu and take over the salt factory!

As a result, Ding Zhenguo failed to carry out such a perfect plan!

The look in Qiao Xiaoling's eyes when she looked at Ding Zhenguo was filled with disappointment.

Seeing Qiao Xiaoling's unhappy look, Accountant Ren quickly comforted her, "Don't be angry, Sister Qiao. I'll do what Ding Zhenguo couldn't do! I'll find a way to make others complete production targets that exceed Shen Ao's. That way, Shen Ao won't get the commendation. Without the commendation, he can't be vindicated, right?"

Qiao Xiaoling exhaled a breath of foul air and nodded slowly, "Well, this is the only way."

However, before Accountant Ren could do anything, a new situation arose!

Suddenly, a group of people came from afar.

The crowd subconsciously parted ways, and when the group came closer, everyone realized that the person leading it was Jiang Conglong, the director of the commune's revolutionary committee.

Seeing this, Director Lu asked in confusion, "Director Jiang, why are you here?"

"I……"

Jiang Conglong glanced at Shen Ao who was not far away, hesitating about what to say.

Commissioner Xu, who was at odds with Bai Ying, immediately responded, "We've received reports that Bai Ying is engaging in speculation and profiteering, using public resources for personal gain. We're here specifically to arrest her!"

Hearing this, Accountant Ren in the crowd was so happy that he almost danced with joy. He excitedly complained to Qiao Xiaoling, "God is really merciful. We haven't even started yet, and Bai Ying is already in trouble!"

“…”

Qiao Xiaoling frowned and pursed her lips. For some reason, she really couldn't feel happy. She vaguely felt that something seemed wrong.

"Take Bai Ying away quickly!"

Commissioner Xu called his companions, and several of them were about to go forward to take Bai Ying away.

Before Bai Ying could make any move, Chen Ao stepped forward and protected her firmly behind him.

The man was tall and mighty, 1.9 meters tall. He was intimidating even without being angry, let alone now that he was in full force.

He lifted his eyelids, and his hawk-like eyes scanned the people in front of him. His voice was cold and gloomy, "If you want to touch her, you have to get past me first."

Commissioner Xu glanced at the people around him and confirmed that he still had more people on his side. He felt a little relieved and then shouted angrily, "Okay, you want to arrest me? Believe it or not, I will arrest you too!"

Shen Ao lowered his eyebrows, his expression filled with fear and anger. "You can arrest him, but first explain the matter clearly."

"The problem is that Bai Ying is engaging in speculation and profiteering. We are going to arrest her and take her to the commune for criticism!"

"What evidence do you have?"

"The evidence is the letter we received!" Commissioner Xu showed the letter he found in the suggestion box. "It clearly states in black and white how Bai Ying resold seafood for profit. How could it be fake?"

In order to let Shen Ao see the contents of the letter, he even moved closer.

As the distance got closer, Bai Ying was able to successfully see the words on it.

The handwriting wasn't very pretty, but it looked quite familiar.

Bai Ying only thought for a few seconds before quickly recognizing who wrote the letter.

This is... Zhu Xiaoxiao's handwriting.

Recently, Zhu Xiaoxiao has been quiet for a while, and she almost forgot about this person. Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiaoxiao was afraid that she would forget, so she quickly jumped out to make her presence felt.

Bai Ying sneered and suppressed the displeasure in her eyes.

Since her old friend Zhu Xiaoxiao missed her so much, she should prepare a big gift for Zhu Xiaoxiao...

After reading the contents of the letter, a few literate people nearby finally understood what the people from the commune were here for today.

Seeing that Commissioner Xu was still pestering Bai Ying, Zhang Fang, who was quite familiar with Bai Ying, thought for a moment and then took the initiative to speak up and said, "I think you have misunderstood Bai Ying."

"What's the misunderstanding?" Commissioner Xu was unconvinced. "Has Bai Ying never been in the seafood business?"

"Uh..." Zhang Fang hesitated for a moment and chose to tell the truth: "Well, Bai Ying did do it before, but not now."

"That's fine, isn't it? It's not like she's being wronged."

Commissioner Xu scoffed, "If what you did before doesn't count, then what you ate yesterday doesn't count either? How can that be justified? So, regardless of whether you did it before or now, you must be held accountable!"

After saying that, Commissioner Xu was about to take people up to arrest Bai Ying.

As soon as he took a step, he felt his shoulders sink. Jiang Conglong behind him suddenly grabbed Commissioner Xu's shoulders and fixed him in place.

Commissioner Xu turned to look at Jiang Conglong, his face filled with dissatisfaction as he said, "Director Jiang, I know you know Bai Ying's husband, but you can't openly favor them, right? Isn't that partiality?"

Jiang Conglong looked embarrassed and coughed twice before saying, "I just think this matter needs further investigation."

"What else is there to investigate? Just take the person away!" Commissioner Xu was still relentless.

While Jiang Conglong was holding Commissioner Xu, Zhang Fang suddenly thought of something and instructed Director Lu to delay the situation as much as possible. She then quickly ran to the office.

Director Lu also hurried forward to persuade: "It's too ridiculous to make a scene outside like this. Why don't we sit down and have a good talk?"

"No!" Commissioner Xu remained stubborn.
