The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 598 - 598 565 Disappearance

598: Chapter 565: Disappearance 598: Chapter 565: Disappearance After returning to the City Committee office, Xia Yanran handed Liu Hun a peeled apple and said, “Here, cool off.

It’s not peeled well; don’t laugh.”

“Thank you!” Liu Hun had not expected Xia Yanran to still care for him like this, and he felt much of his anger dissipate.

He also understood that the issue at Mingyang Factory definitely needed to be resolved, but the interests of the Coffee Park area could not be neglected either.

This was their first collaboration with a multinational company; they couldn’t just lose their trust like that.

More importantly, Liu Hun believed that there were unspeakable secrets hidden within.

After listlessly finishing the apple, he suddenly noticed Xia Yanran fiddling with a mini camera, so he asked, “Who are you recording for?”

Xia Yanran put down what she was holding and explained, “This is Director Jiang from the Propaganda Department’s request.

I have studied abroad and used this device.

So he asked me to help with the recording.”

“Record for whom?

And what does this have to do with Director Jiang?” Liu Hun felt that Xia Yanran hadn’t gotten to the point.

“Of course, it’s for Mayor Hong.

Director Jiang said he wants to shoot a series of footage to document Mayor Hong’s successful resolution of the longstanding Mingyang Factory problem.

On one hand, it’s to promote our Yuhua City, and on another, it’s to be used as an important part of party political life which can be shown later for party comrades to study.

The situation outside is covered by Yuhua City TV station, and inside the city government is covered by me.” As Xia Yanran spoke, she pointed the camera at Liu Hun and laughed heartily.

Liu Hun shook his head with a wry smile.

He hadn’t expected this Hong Rengui to be such a formidable character, securing who knows how many benefits from solving Mingyang Factory’s issues, and now even trying to earn both performance and face publicly.

Due to Hong Rengui’s assertiveness, along with Jingpin Chemical Group resolving the Mingyang Factory workers’ employment situation, Liu Hun was simply powerless and could only watch everything unfold.

Two months later, under Chen Yao’s earnest persuasion and the city government’s pressure, Mingyang Factory’s workers signed employment contracts with Jingpin Chemical Group.

However, nobody expected that just a week later, a large-scale disturbance broke out at Jingpin Chemical.

Liu Hun sat in the tallest building of the Coffee Park, watching the rioting workers nearby.

Soon, Zhong Xiao came up to report, “Boss Liu, I’ve found out everything.

It was due to Jingpin Chemical’s workers lacking sufficient safety measures while working, which directly caused many workers to develop health issues.

More than ten seriously affected workers have been hospitalized, and the doctors say their prognosis isn’t good.”

“Do you know where that manager named Sun Jin is now?” Liu Hun asked.

Zhong Xiao shook his head, “Not sure yet.”

Liu Hun was about to speak when suddenly the phone rang, and he picked it up to immediately hear Xia Yanran’s anxious voice, “Liu Hun, where are you?”

“Xia Yanran, what’s wrong?

What happened?” Liu Hun asked nervously.

“Members from the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee have come and taken Deputy Mayor Xiao away.” Xia Yanran finished speaking, and then the phone suddenly went dead.

“What?!

Hello?!

Xia Yanran?!

Hello?!” Liu Hun’s head exploded with a buzz—why would Xiao Yanzi be taken away by the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee.

“Zhong Xiao, hurry, prepare the car, I need to go back to the City Committee!”

Liu Hun hurried back to the City Committee, and as soon as he entered the office, he found two men with stern faces sitting on the office sofa, a notebook placed on the coffee table.

“May I ask if you are Comrade Liu Hun?” one of the men stood up and asked.

“Yes, I am.” Liu Hun had already vaguely guessed the identity of the men.

“Hello, we are from the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee.

Regarding this incident involving Jingpin Chemical and Mingyang Factory, we have some questions for you, and we hope you can cooperate.

Please take a seat,” the man gestured for Liu Hun to sit.

After Liu Hun nodded and sat down, one man picked up the pen and started recording while the other man began to ask, “Do you know if Deputy Mayor Xiao Yanzi was the main person in charge of handling the reassignment of personnel from Mingyang Factory and the entry of Jingpin Chemical into Yuhua City North District?”

Since the Disciplinary Committee had already taken Xiao Yanzi, Liu Hun felt there was no need to lie, “Yes, I do.”

“Do you know or are aware if Deputy Mayor Xiao Yanzi had any connections with the main leaders of Mingyang Factory or the main person responsible at Jingpin Chemical; to be more specific, were there any interests involved?” the man stared into Liu Hun’s eyes as he asked.

“No!” Liu Hun responded emphatically, not expecting the Disciplinary Committee to suspect Xiao Yanzi of having any entangled interests.

The two men exchanged glances, and one of them continued to ask, “You know that Director Xia Yanran is the specific person responsible for following up on this project, right?”

“Yes, I know.” Liu Hun nodded, realizing that Xia Yanran might also have been detained.

“Did she have any interests involved in this?” the man persisted.

“No!” Liu Hun remained firm in his answer.

“As her subordinate, how much were you involved in the matters of Mingyang Factory and Jingpin Chemical Group?” the man asked.

“Not much, because the previous placement of some employees of Mingyang Factory in the Coffee Park was being followed up by me, so I was only aware of this matter and didn’t participate.

I have seen the relevant documents,” Liu Hun stated truthfully.

“Do you know the factory director Chen Yao of Mingyang Factory?” the man inquired.

Liu Hun nodded, “I know him; I’ve known him from a long time ago.”

“What was the situation like?”

Liu Hun narrated in detail his initial interactions with Chen Yao; the officials from the Disciplinary Committee took down everything with their pens.
