Chapter 62 (1/2)

Li Hao’s anxiety abated somewhat when he heard w.a.n.g Ping’s words. He said indignantly, “Those guys bypa.s.sed me and gave a direct order to the district bureau, completely keeping me in the dark. They’re going too far. Deputy Secretary w.a.n.g, who do you think is responsible for this?”

“I’m not certain myself.” w.a.n.g Ping replied. “Based on what you just said,Ye Qian just returned to this country, so he can’t be a subordinate of any political party. Then the enemy isn’t doing this to come after me or you, and is mostly likely doing this for a personal vendetta. We only need to know who Ye Qian most recently encountered, then everything should become clear.”

Li Hao stood up and declared, “I will go and investigate immediately!”

w.a.n.g Ping waved his hand to tell him to sit down. “There’s no use for you to be so anxious. I called you over here today for a couple of reasons. First, I wanted to understand Ye Qian’s situation. Second, when I woke up today an important object was left on my bedside table.”

“What is it?” Li Hao asked with surprise.

w.a.n.g Ping handed over the files on the coffee table. “It’s these.” Li Hao browsed over the files and became shocked. w.a.n.g Ping continued, “These files contain records of Ouyang Cheng receiving bribes during his term as deputy secretary.”

“Who brought this over?” Li Hao asked.

“I don’t know. When I woke up this morning it was just there. This person isn’t simple. I’m afraid he knew all about Ouyang Cheng being my political rival, that’s why he sent these over.” w.a.n.g Ping knitted his brows as he spoke.

“So this person wants to borrow your hand to get rid of Ouyang Cheng. This person must have a big problem with him.”

w.a.n.g Ping shook his head. “I’m afraid it is not that simple. The munic.i.p.al committee elections are coming up, with these files, it would be a very simple matter to get rid of Ouyang Cheng. But if that were his motive, then he would have just sent it directly to the Disciplinary Commission. Why did he have to put it in my hands?”

“Deputy Secretary w.a.n.g, you can rest a.s.sured that I will find out who did this as quickly as possible.” Li Hao replied.

w.a.n.g Ping smiled faintly and said, “There is no need for that. That person did this because he didn’t want us to know who he was. I’m afraid that your investigation won’t turn up anything. I was just curious. I received these files on the night Ye Qian was arrested, so I was wondering if both events were related.”

“Sir, are you saying that Erge and Ouyang Cheng have had some sort dealings in the past?” Li Hao asked doubtfully.

“That isn’t very likely, but I only felt that everything is just such a big coincidence.” w.a.n.g Ping replied. “But anyway, since that person brought these to me, it won’t do me any harm. Now we have some things to do.” w.a.n.g Ping’s eyes glittered as he spoke. Previously, he handled his affairs discreetly, not because he was a coward, but because he was just concealing his strength and biding his time. Now the opportunity had arrived. If he did not grasp it well then it would be regrettable.
