The Tianhai City Government and the Tianhai Municipal Committee are in the same district, but there is still a considerable distance between them.
Wu Liang usually doesn’t pass by the municipal committee on his commute, so he seldom comes over.
However, after connecting to Huang Ming’s call just now, he was instantly panicked.
He immediately told the driver to head to the municipal committee.
Seeing nearly a hundred people standing densely at the entrance, Wu Liang’s face turned increasingly grim.
After pondering, he called Huang Ming again.
"I can protect you, but whoever hit the person has to take responsibility, do you understand this?"
Hanging up the phone, Huang Ming’s face was full of worry.
Xie Shan, after all, was his right-hand man, and using him to take the fall was somewhat heart-wrenching.
But the situation was ; if he didn’t push Xie Shan out as a scapegoat, then he would be the one to fall.
Despite being extremely reluctant, Huang Ming still called Xie Shan.
At the same time, Wang Jun also received a call from Li Lu.
After receiving the task, he immediately contacted Chen Bin, asking him to quickly return to the county.
Then, he sent people to call Lin Hai and Xie Shan to the office.
"A team of over a hundred people went to the municipal committee to file a complaint, you guys are really something! Tell me, what exactly is going on here?!"
Lin Hai hurriedly shook his head and glanced at Xie Shan.
"I don’t know anything about this matter, last week’s unrest was all handled by Director Xie."
Hearing this, Xie Shan panicked immediately.
Just as he was about to speak, Wang Jun slammed his water cup to the ground by his feet.
"Speak, what gave you the right to hit someone? Who told you to do this?!"
Seeing Wang Jun’s fury, Xie Shan was so frightened that he trembled all over.
But he still gritted his teeth, keeping his head down, unwilling to speak.
Wang Jun snorted coldly, his tone full of warning.
"Don’t think that if you don’t speak, I can’t do anything to you. Spit out the truth now and I can see if the organization can be lenient; otherwise, you will bear all the consequences!"
Xie Shan remained silent, resolute in not betraying Huang Ming.
Seeing his stubbornness, Wang Jun could only wave his hand.
"Fine, you won’t speak, right? Then it will be stated that you acted alone on this matter. Just wait for the consequences to fall upon you!"
After Xie Shan left, Wang Jun immediately convened a meeting with all the members of the County Committee, except Huang Ming.
"Last Friday night, Deputy Director Xie Shan of the County Public Security Bureau arbitrarily led a team to arrest five people and unlawfully wounded two environmental personnel."
As he spoke, Wang Jun’s eyes scanned everyone around him.
"This incident has caused over a hundred people to petition, severely damaging the reputation of Qingshi County. I’ve gathered everyone here to discuss how to deal with Xie Shan."
As soon as Wang Jun finished speaking, Zhou Jiajun was the first to express his stance.
"Xie Shan broke the law knowingly, severely impacting the image of our Qingshi County Government. I suggest we dismiss him from public office."
Everyone present knew that Zhou Jiajun was the mouthpiece of Huang Ming.
Clearly, Huang Ming did not intend to protect Xie Shan.
Thus, everyone suggested that Xie Shan be doubly dismissed.
Only Disciplinary Committee Secretary Song Nandi remained silent.
Wang Jun turned to him, "Secretary Song, what are your thoughts?"
Song Nandi glanced at Zhou Jiajun before slowly speaking.
"I also think a double dismissal is necessary, and this matter needs to be addressed immediately, for both the higher-ups and the people of the whole county’s sake."
Seeing the unanimous opinion, news of Xie Shan’s double dismissal soon reached the County Public Security Bureau.
In the County Committee Secretary’s office, Wang Jun smiled and said to Chen Bin.
"Huang Ming is indeed formidable, able to make Xie Shan willingly take the fall for him. However, the mining project should be off the table now, right?"
After a brief thought, Chen Bin shook his head slightly.
"Not necessarily, if Wu Liang can step in, Huang Ming’s problem might be easily resolved."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jun suddenly became intrigued and stared at Chen Bin.
"Since our views are completely opposite, why don’t we place a bet?"
"If I win, how about I set you up with a partner?"
"A partner?" This left Chen Bin bewildered.
Wang Jun smiled as he replied.
"My cousin has a daughter your age, working in a bank, I think you two suit each other well."
In Wang Jun’s perspective, Chen Bin’s presence was crucial.
Even though he was his godson, he still wanted to solidify his relationship with Chen Bin through marriage.
Only in this way could they truly become a family.
After all, Zhao Xinmei’s affair was a thorn in Wang Jun’s heart.
Although he didn’t want a divorce, he was also worried that Zhao Xinmei might meddle, causing Chen Bin to not wholeheartedly assist him in his affairs.
Somewhat surprised, Chen Bin continued to ask.
"Then what if I win?"
Waving his hand, Wang Jun confidently replied.
"As long as it’s something I can achieve, you can ask for anything."
"Okay, then I want you to hurry with my godmother and give me a younger brother or sister."
On hearing this, Wang Jun slammed the table forcefully, his face darkening instantly.
He had azoospermia, making it impossible for him to have children.
But this illness was hard to mention, so such a simple thing was nearly impossible for him.
"No! My career hasn’t stabilized yet, now’s not the time to have kids, ask for something else."
Sighing deeply, Chen Bin pretended to speak earnestly.
"Godfather, actually, you might not know, but that abortion report of godmother’s was a fake, and the pregnancy matter was completely bogus."
"What? What’s going on?"
Seeing Wang Jun’s surprised expression, Chen Bin immediately narrated the reason he had previously crafted.
"When Sister Mengying came to visit last time, she heard that you only return once every couple of weeks, so to avoid having my godmother continue living alone, she made a fake abortion proof to deceive you."
"How... How could it be ?"
"You surely know what kind of person my mom is, she couldn’t possibly do something to betray you. If she really had an affair, why would she bring the abortion report home for you to see?"
At this moment, Wang Jun finally realized.
He misunderstood Zhao Xinmei!
Everything she did was to get his attention, to make him focus on the family.
Understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Wang Jun patted Chen Bin on the shoulder and sincerely said.
"Xiao Bin, thank you so much. If you hadn’t told me all this, I would have truly misunderstood Xinmei."
"No problem, as long as the misunderstanding is clarified. Godfather, you need to understand that you are godmother’s husband. No matter what happens, you should trust her."
Nodding vigorously, Chen Bin’s status in Wang Jun’s heart rose even higher.
This young fellow is not only smart but also astute, truly a lucky charm!
