Chapter 731: Chapter 731 Report to Two Big Shots

With the progress of the case, the entire leadership team of Xiashan County had fallen into trouble.

Ji Yang was somewhat shocked by the situation, as the entire county was filled with a large number of women bought from the outside, some of whom were deprived of their personal freedom. Some women were even tied up all year round and had become the tools for childbearing among the villagers.

Another finding during the investigation was that the county police chief had become the protective umbrella for those combined forces. He had a secret place where many beautiful women were kept for his amusement.

Upon witnessing this situation, Ji Yang had no choice but to report the matter to Zhang Chaoping.

Zhang Chaoping was in Shisong County at the time and was stunned when he received Ji Yang’s call.

Then, his face turned ugly; as the Party Secretary of the city, to have the leadership of a whole county mired in corruption was a serious issue. Moreover, it was not him who had uncovered the corruption; it was Ji Yang who had discovered it. As the principal leader, he must bear the responsibility for his lack of leadership and failing to perform his duties. fr\(e)ew(e)b.(n)o (v)(e)l.com

He felt displeased with Ji Yang for bringing up such an issue at this time.

"Mr. Ji Yang, how could such a mass incident occur in a county?"

Ji Yang knew what Zhang Chaoping was thinking. In fact, he did not wish to act this way, but he had encountered the situation.

"Secretary Zhang, isn’t this a matter of happening to come upon the issue? Now, as we dig deeper, a large number of officials have become embroiled. The situation here is very serious."

"I’ll come over immediately."

Zhang Chaoping couldn’t care less about the affairs in Shisong County now. If he couldn’t properly handle the situation in Xiashan County, he was in jeopardy of being ousted.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yang knew that Zhang Chaoping did not want to escalate the issue, but it was impossible not to report such a significant matter to higher authorities. So, he called Zhou Yuan to report the situation to him.

Zhou Yuan seemed very pleased and said, "Comrade Ji Yang, in the current climate where everyone is chasing their own interests, you are not swayed by profit and have voluntarily gone to work in the place that needs it most. That is a very commendable act. You have been able to rapidly identify and resolve issues, which speaks volumes about your ability to handle matters. No matter what has occurred in Xiashan County, my opinion is to follow through to the end, showing no leniency regardless of who is involved."

This was Zhou Yuan’s stance!

Ji Yang could tell that Zhou Yuan affirmed and supported what he had done, and also hoped that the investigation could go deeper.

This was only the ostensible meaning, but Ji Yang also discerned some deeper implications: Zhang Chaoping was from Yan Guozhen, and he would not be able to extricate himself from this incident, which was precisely what Zhou Yuan wanted to see.

Sitting there, thinking for a while, Ji Yang decided to make another call to Yan Guozhen.

In the past, Ji Yang would have firmly sided with Zhou Yuan, but now he did not wish to get involved in their struggle. Informing Yan Guozhen of the situation would also give him a clearer picture in handling the matter.

Yan Guozhen fell silent for a while after hearing what Ji Yang had said.

Yan Guozhen really had not expected such an incident and thus started to view Zhang Chaoping differently. Zhang Chaoping appeared to be very shrewd and capable of vying for power, but why did he allow such a situation to persist?

Currently, Ximu City had become the center of national attention; if this were to be exposed, their leadership would be passive, yet the entire matter was spearheaded by Ji Yang, the mayor. When reporting to higher authorities, there would be more to say; the initiative could be claimed as theirs, with Ji Yang acting upon their orders, or it could be framed as the Provincial Party Committee’s ongoing investigation, with Ji Yang’s visit serving to address the issue.

What pleased Yan Guozhen even more was that Ji Yang, amidst such circumstances, personally called to discuss the matter.

This was not merely a simple discussion of the issue; it demonstrated that Comrade Ji Yang could discern the gravity of the situation and had no intent of standing against him.

Thinking of Zhou Yuan, Yan Guozhen knew Zhou Yuan hoped to use the incident to remove Zhang Chaoping and thereby strike at him.

Now, with Ji Yang’s report, he could proceed with his actions more calmly.

Right, what was Zhang Chaoping doing? Such an incident had occurred, and Ji Yang told him about it; he was en route to Xiashan County, yet had not reported to him promptly.

That Zhang Chaoping!

Yan Guozhen understood; Zhang Chaoping wanted to settle the matter himself.

Yet, could such a countywide calamity truly be concealed?

Yan Guozhen was disappointed with Zhang Chaoping once again; he was not up to the challenge.

Of course, Ji Yang was unaware of Yan Guozhen’s thoughts and actions. Having reported the matter, he was not concerned about Zhou Yuan finding out. Even if he did, what could it matter? Ji Yang felt secure in his position now, and Zhou Yuan wouldn’t hold it against him.

Seeing members of the Discipline Inspection Committee and the Public Security Bureau working together, Ji Yang decided to visit Wu Mi.

Concerning Wei Wuyin, Ji Yang wanted to further understand what exactly had happened to her.

Recalling his early days of employment in Qingyuan Village and how glorious Wei Wuyin had once been, and now looking at her current state, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat sentimental. He had not anticipated such dramatic changes in this woman after losing her public office.

Such is the unpredictability of life!

With those county leaders in trouble, Ji Yang no longer worried about being under surveillance.

Soon, he arrived at a small courtyard.

This courtyard, with its ancient charm, was said to be the ancestral home of a former landlord. Now bought by the Wu Family and after some renovation, it was indeed very comfortable to live in.

As his car drove straight into the courtyard, Ji Yang nodded to himself—his women knew how to manage things well, with excellent secrecy. As long as he didn’t step out of the car, no one would know he had arrived.

The car had just stopped when the two Wu sisters came to greet him.
