The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Chapter 463: Great Taboo


"What a mess, can you really trust what those charlatans say? Get the hell out of here, right now!"

Ding Jianmu bellowed furiously.

Chen Fang's face suddenly tensed up.

He spoke solemnly, "Director Ding, didn't you also listen to the Taoist who said that the house of Jia Yuanqing was blocking the feng shui of your family, and that's why you had the house demolished? Why is it that the Taoist's words are valid for you, but not when it comes to Jia Yuanqing's house?"

Those words.

Jolted Ding Jianmu momentarily.

He glanced at Chen Fang again, nodded, and said, "I see, so you've come to make trouble? You like sticking your nose into other people's business, huh? Fine, I'll satisfy you."

Having said that.

He turned his head to look at Ding Hua.

Ding Hua nodded.

He pulled out his cell phone, dialed a number, and while glaring fiercely at Chen Fang, shouted, "Security team, assemble."

It took about three minutes or so.

A dozen or so young men in camouflage uniforms without military rank insignia rushed over all at once.

Upon their arrival.

The Ding father and son straightened their backs even more.

Especially Ding Hua, his nostrils were practically pointing to the sky.

Ding Jianmu snorted coldly, pointed at the excavator, and angrily commanded, "Come on, help them smash all their stuff."

At his command.

The security team members charged up, some wielding sticks and others holding bricks, and smashed the excavator's cab to smithereens.

Ding Hua was even more excessive.

He walked up to the ashes urn and kicked it over.

The ashes urn rolled a few times and crashed into a rock, immediately breaking apart.

It was expected that the ashes would scatter everywhere.

But that didn't happen.

After the urn broke open, there was just a piece of white paper inside.

Ding Hua picked up the white paper, unfolded it, and as he saw what was on it, his face turned to shock, and he immediately presented it to Ding Jianmu.

Ding Jianmu took the white paper and upon seeing it, burst into a towering rage.

Because the white paper bore the words "The ashes of Ding Jianmu."

With a ripping sound.

Ding Jianmu tore it to pieces.

Pointing at Chen Fang, he bellowed, "You ungrateful dog, causing trouble on my turf, you must be tired of living, right? Someone, arrest him..."

"I'd like to see who dares to touch him?"

Just at that moment, the door of a car parked nearby opened.

Lin Fei got out of the car.

Upon seeing this woman, Ding Jianmu immediately froze, and a forced smile appeared on his face, "Minister Lin, what brings you here? "

"Director Ding, such a display of authority. What, you dare to strike a leader in broad daylight?"

Lin Fei asked.

Ding Jianmu said with a sheepish grin, "Minister Lin, you must be joking. How could I dare to hit you? These damn people were digging graves right on my doorstep, and you know how much the common folk detest that."

"You do evil and don't mind, yet you consider digging a grave taboo? Director Ding, that's quite a double standard you have there."

Chen Fang interjected from the side.

Ding Jianmu scolded, "What the hell are you? Is it your place to speak?"

"Minister Lin, do I?"

Chen Fang asked.

Lin Fei pointed at Chen Fang, and speaking to Ding Jianmu, said, "Director Ding, I forgot to introduce him to you. This is Comrade Chen Fang, a member of the Standing Committee and Head of the Organization Department of Guyang City."

Upon hearing the name.

Ding Jianmu was immediately dumbstruck.

He wouldn't dare to offend Lin Fei, the deputy head of the Organization Department.

Who could have imagined that this young man was actually a member of the Standing Committee, an authentic city leader?

"Chen... Minister Chen?"

At that moment, Ding Jianmu's heart rate began to speed up, his hands also starting to shake slightly.

In that instant.

He also realized.

Chen Fang's visit was to seek justice for the couple, Jia Yuanqing and his wife.

"Director Ding, am I still a worthless cur?"

Chen Fang asked.

Ding Jianmu repeatedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, absolutely not, you're the leader, Minister Chen, I was wrong, a nobody like me failed to recognize a great man..."

Chen Fang let out a cold snort.

He said, "I've long heard of Director Ding's fame. Having seen you today, it really is extraordinary. Now, about Jia Yuanqing's issue, you owe me an explanation, don't you?"

"Minister... Minister Chen..."

Ding Jianmu let out a long sigh.

His eyes darted around, then he said, "Minister Chen, how about this, I'll go get some materials for you to look at, then you'll understand."

Chen Fang paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll wait for you."

Upon hearing this, Ding Jianmu took off running.

With their father gone, Ding Hua didn't dare to linger either and hurriedly followed, leaving only the shivering members of the security team behind.

They had smashed the machinery brought by the city leaders, that was a big deal; they might very well be finished today.

"He's gone to fetch reinforcements."

Youyou said from the side.

Chen Fang nodded and replied, "I was afraid he wouldn't drag someone down with him. I didn't expect him to be a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. No rush, let's let the bullets fly for a little longer."

Youyou turned her head and glanced around.

She said, "Why haven't the people arrived yet?"

Chen Fang narrowed his eyes, and said leisurely, "Don't worry, they'll come. Right now, they're just watching from the sidelines. As soon as that person makes a move, they'll act too."

Then, Chen Fang asked, "How's it going with Ren Yiweng?"

Youyou smiled slightly, nodding, and said, "That viper has made her move too. Early this morning, the Disciplinary Committee in Wulan City called for an emergency meeting, and Ren Yiweng went to the city for the meeting."

The core of this plan.

Lay with Ren Yiweng himself.

Ren Yiweng was the secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of Guyang City.

Shen Shanghu was his confidant.

There must be some interests tying Shen Shanghu to the Ding brothers. If they were to move against Shen Shanghu, it was imperative to ensure Ren Yiweng wouldn't intervene.

Now Ren Yiweng was attending a meeting.

With Shen Shanghu unable to call for help, naturally, he would start thinking of other strategies, which was precisely the effect Chen Fang desired.

Sure enough.

About a minute after Ding Jianmu left,

Shen Shanghu received a phone call.

The news that Minister Chen Fang had suddenly taken an interest in Jia Yuanqing's affair made his heart race with fear.

After sitting restlessly for a while,

he immediately made a call to Ren Yiweng for help.

Unexpectedly, Ren Yiweng's phone was switched off.

Shen Shanghu was frantic, hopping mad.

An idea immediately popped into his head.

Without further thought, he hurried to the city government building and knocked on Meng Zheqing's office door.

After Meng Zheqing said come in,

Shen Shanghu pushed the door open, and seeing that only he was in the office, he did not say another word, but fell to his knees with a sob, pleading, "Mayor Meng, I beg you, please save me... "

Meng Zheqing was taken aback.

He immediately came over, helped Shen Shanghu to his feet, and asked with a frown, "Comrade Shanghu, what happened? Take it easy, tell me everything, come on, get up..."

Shen Shanghu cried while he stood up.

He wiped away his tears and told the entire story as it happened.

Although he framed it as Chen Fang picking on him for no reason, Meng Zheqing wasn't fooled; he knew right away there must be more to it.

However,

he was also extremely pleased internally.

Shen Shanghu was Ren Yiweng's confidant. As Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, his influence in Guyang City was significant.

For so long, Ren Yiweng had not taken sides. If Meng could help him with this trouble, wouldn't it be the perfect chance to win him over?

But that wasn't the main point.

The main point was that he had already received instructions.

He was to intervene in anything related to Chen Fang.

Right now, wasn't this the best opportunity?
