The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 333: There’s Something Wrong with This Medicine
Chapter 333: Chapter 333: There’s Something Wrong with This Medicine
When Cheng Zhuang revealed his plan, Tian Rangping fell into silence,
because he knew that the plan was cruel and vicious.
If implemented, he would likely have to leave Dragon Mountain County.
Otherwise, he’d face terrifying retaliation from Ye Hong.
Seeing this, Cheng Zhuang immediately reassured him.
"If your wife is really willing to divorce, then Dragon Mountain has nothing worth lingering for anymore. Instead of being stuck here for a lifetime, why not venture into a big city? The world outside is way more exciting."
Despite how enticing these words sounded, Tian Rangping didn’t plan to leave right away.
After all, leaving might mean years before he could return.
Sighing deeply, he hesitated and said,
"Give me a few days to think it over."
Unknowingly, three days flew by.
Seeing Tian Rangping still hesitant, Cheng Zhuang visited his home again.
"Today, Ye Hong went to the department to find Tan Rongxi. To eliminate any future threats, they plan to first arrest you, then cripple you, turn you into a vegetable, so your secret will never be revealed."
Upon hearing this, Tian Rangping turned pale with fright.
In his mind, Ye Hong was someone who had Dragon Mountain County entirely under his thumb.
To deal with him was simpler than squashing an ant.
Not daring to delay for a second, he quickly said, "I’ll leave—I’ll leave now!"
Tian Rangping first sent a message to Du Minli, asking her to take care of the child.
Then, he began packing his belongings, only finishing by midnight, before asking Cheng Zhuang to drive him to the city.
On the road out of Dragon Mountain County, Tian Rangping was deeply anxious, fearing he might die along the way.
It wasn’t until he checked into a hotel in the city that he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Even then, he asked Cheng Zhuang to stay with him.
When Cheng Zhuang woke up the next day, he noticed Tian Rangping’s bloodshot eyes, evidence of a sleepless night.
While having breakfast, Cheng Zhuang softly reminded him,
"You know what you need to do next, right?"
"I know. This time, I’ll make sure to finish him off!"
Soon after, the two headed to the Tianhai Municipal Committee.
After getting out of the car, Tian Rangping directly told the reception staff he wanted to meet with the Disciplinary Committee leadership.
He was going to file an official report against Dragon Mountain County’s Secretary of the County Committee Ye Hong and Deputy County Magistrate Du Minli.
When the reception staff learned that the matter involved two County Committee members, they dared not delay and immediately called the Disciplinary Committee’s office.
Soon, someone escorted Tian Rangping into the office building.
Arriving in the leader’s office, Tian Rangping immediately said,
"I’m Tian Rangping, the deputy station chief of the Qinghe Town Seed Station in Dragon Mountain County. Dragon Mountain County Deputy Magistrate Du Minli is my wife, and I want to report her and Dragon Mountain County Secretary Ye Hong for having an improper sexual relationship!"
Tian Rangping’s relationship with Du Minli was highly unusual, and since it was an official, named report, the matter quickly garnered significant attention from the Disciplinary Committee!
After being reported through various channels, the news soon reached Cao Sanjin’s ears.
Faced with inquiries from Disciplinary Committee Secretary Deng Jiabao, Cao Sanjin responded,
"Even if Tian Rangping doesn’t have evidence, we must treat this seriously. I suggest summoning Ye Hong and Du Minli to the city separately and having your committee interview them first."
To prevent collusion, Cao Sanjin made a special call, requesting Ye Hong’s presence in the city.
Once Ye Hong arrived, the committee then sent for Du Minli.
When the two heard the contents of Tian Rangping’s report, they were both shocked.
Especially Ye Hong, who inwardly cursed Tian Rangping’s ancestors up to eighteen generations.
He never expected the latter to take the money and still file an official report.
It was truly shameless!
Although Ye Hong wasn’t sure if the committee had any evidence, he decided he wouldn’t shed tears until shown the coffin.
Not only did he adamantly deny everything, but he also claimed that Tian Rangping had recently tried to blackmail him with the claim and, after seeing through the plot, filed this frivolous report out of revenge.
Du Minli, too, was shocked by Tian Rangping’s named report.
She suspected he did this purely as retaliation for her suggesting a divorce.
While it was true she and Ye Hong had an improper relationship,
both she and Ye Hong decided to fully deny it.
Even so, the Disciplinary Committee showed no intention of letting them go.
Thus, the two were interrogated for three full days.
During this time, Ye Hong lived in constant fear,
worried the committee might unearth evidence of his corruption, which would mean the end of his political career.
Du Minli, on the other hand, felt more confident, though she still struggled under the committee’s relentless questioning.
Luckily, on the fourth day, the two were finally released.
Upon returning to Dragon Mountain County, Ye Hong summoned Tan Rongxi to his office.
He ordered him to search high and low, leaving no stone unturned, until Tian Rangping was caught.
As Tan Rongxi left, he immediately called Chen Bin.
Following Chen Bin’s instructions, he returned to the bureau and began dispatching people to locate Tian Rangping.
Unfortunately, despite combing through the entire Dragon Mountain County, they found no trace of him.
When Ye Hong received this news, his face turned green with rage.
He immediately tried calling Tian Rangping, only to discover the latter’s number had been deactivated.
Furious, Ye Hong slammed his phone onto the ground with a loud "crack."
"Tian, just wait! Once I find you, I’ll skin you alive!"
Over the weekend, Jiang Ninghan called Chen Bin, inviting him over for ribs at her home.
Before dinner, Cao Sanjin summoned him to the study.
"Was it you behind the named reports against Ye Hong and Du Minli?"
Chen Bin smiled and nodded, "Yes!"
"I knew it! So, you wanted to scare them?"
"Not quite scaring. They do have issues, though I don’t have solid evidence yet."
"Are his issues serious?"
"Extremely serious! Besides moral misconduct, he’s also suspected of bribery."
This time, Chen Bin extracted two million yuan from Ye Hong, partially as a test of his financial resources.
If Ye Hong were an honest official, he wouldn’t have been able to produce such a sum within a week.
Cao Sanjin’s gaze turned sharp as he spoke in a low tone.
"Since I arrived in Tianhai, I haven’t taken down a major case. Looks like it’s time to set an example!"
Instantly understanding his intent, Chen Bin quickly nodded.
"If there’s anyone in Dragon Mountain County involved in corruption, I promise to expose them immediately!"
The two then left the study, rejoining the others at the dinner table.
As they ate, the conversation gradually drifted to marriage.
Thinking of Chen Bin’s health issues, Cao Chenxi shook her head repeatedly.
"Mom, I’m too fat right now to have kids. Let’s talk about marriage later."
Hearing this, Jiang Ninghan suddenly leaned in secretively.
"I recently got my hands on a special remedy. It’s said to work better than weight-loss pills. If you take it for three months straight, you’ll absolutely slim down like lightning."
Though Cao Chenxi had no intention of marrying Chen Bin, she perked up immediately at the prospect of weight loss.
"Is it really that effective?"
"Absolutely! Everyone who tried it loved it!"
Seeing his wife’s unwavering belief, Cao Sanjin couldn’t help but ask,
"What exactly is it? Make sure it’s safe."
"Don’t worry, it’s all herbal. Totally harmless!"
For some reason, Chen Bin felt like Jiang Ninghan might have been scammed.
But seeing her excitement, he held his tongue in the end.
After all, he wasn’t the one eating it, so staying quiet seemed wise...
