Chapter 27 - 27 27 Someone Actually Fell for It

27: Chapter 27: Someone Actually Fell for It 27: Chapter 27: Someone Actually Fell for It After musing for a moment, Chu Shuyuan said, “There’s one more thing, you just need to be aware of it.

Among the newly arrived team members this time, there are a few with problems, and it’s likely they won’t be able to keep their posts.”

“Ah, what’s going on?” Ji Yang was somewhat surprised.

Chu Shuyuan looked complex as she spoke, “You’ll find out in due time.”

Ji Yang did not ask any further.

Leaving Chu Shuyuan’s office, Ji Yang pondered over the matter, filled with curiosity.

The new leaders had only been there for two days; they shouldn’t have been compromised so quickly.

He thought that even if seduction was involved, it would take some time, and these people would not be fooled so easily.

If several leaders ran into trouble, did that also mean an opportunity for himself?

At this moment, Ji Yang’s thoughts were running wild.

When he returned to his office, several people were busy with their work, so Ji Yang put the matter aside.

Yet, in the political arena, there weren’t many secrets.

Soon, Chen Yongwei glanced around mysteriously and whispered to Ji Yang, “Director, a big issue has arisen.”

Chen Yongwei had a clear sense of his role, that of Ji Yang’s loyal follower, always ready to report any information he learned to Ji Yang.

Chen Yongwei was a smart man.

He knew his own affairs; to climb up, he must follow powerful people, and Ji Yang was the only one he could access.

Therefore, he was firmly attached to Ji Yang’s coattails.

“What happened?” Now that it was just the two of them in the office and seeing his secretive manner, Ji Yang also felt a surge of intrigue.

“Mayor Cao, no, Cao Zhongping is in trouble.”

“What?” Ji Yang had just learned that there were issues with several leaders in the village, and he hadn’t expected Mayor Cao to be the first.

Ji Yang wondered how Mayor Cao had managed the situation so carelessly and been taken down so quickly.

“Didn’t Lu Shijie and their team install surveillance devices in every room, as well as something that could record content?

The content of Cao Zhongping’s phone call was recorded.”

“What could be so problematic about a phone call?” Ji Yang remarked, seemingly unconcerned.

Though he said that, he became more cautious, realizing that he too needed to be more careful when making phone calls in the future.

“Cao Zhongping was on the phone with one of his mistresses; apparently, the two said a lot of things over the phone that would make anyone blush…”

Ji Yang was astonished; he hadn’t expected Cao Zhongping had this side to him.

Quickly, Ji Yang remembered that when he knew about the surveillance equipment in the rooms, Cao Zhongping really looked extremely uneasy.

If it was only some minor issue, it probably wouldn’t be a problem, but this time, with the leadership both above and below in an uproar, his behavior would be magnified to the extreme.

With that magnification, this mayor, not yet elected, was done for.

Ji Yang then realized that Lu Shijie and the others hadn’t used the phone but had contacted each other privately.

They knew the risks.

However, Lu Shijie clearly aware of the situation, had not removed the surveillance devices.

It really seemed like a death wish.

Unable to comprehend Lu Shijie and their thinking, Ji Yang was clear about one thing—under these circumstances, it would be good if Cao Zhongping could retain his public office, but the chance of becoming mayor was impossible.

Chen Yongwei whispered again, “It’s not just Mayor Cao.”

“Who else?”

Having brought Chen Yongwei to his side did have some benefits, at least he now had a channel for news.

“The Propaganda Committee Member, Jiang Qin, is Vice Secretary Qian’s mistress!”

“What do you mean?” Ji Yang grew curious too.

Jiang Qin seemed very low-key, not one to stand out, giving the impression of someone who wouldn’t compete or argue.

Ji Yang had underestimated her.

“It’s also about a phone call.

Jiang Qin reported the local matters over the phone to Vice Secretary Qian, and then, many words passed between them.

Most importantly, it turns out that Jiang Qin and Vice Secretary Qian are having an affair.

They spoke many flirtatious words over the phone, and even discussed the possibility of Vice Secretary Qian getting divorced.”

Alas!

Ji Yang didn’t know what to say.

He’d thought Huang Yu might be the one with issues, but to his surprise, it wasn’t Huang Yu but the serious-looking Jiang Qin who was in trouble.

This was completely beyond expectation.

These kinds of male-female issues could be major or minor, it all depended on how the higher-ups viewed them.

However, with the incident involving Lu Shijie in Qingyuan Village, the whole situation was too big to cover up, turning minor issues into major ones.

At first, Ji Yang thought it was the staff at the guesthouses who had successfully seduced the leaders, but it turned out that telephone calls were the real issue.

Probably, the telephone recordings were the key to how Lu Shijie and the others were able to control so many people.

Reflecting on this, Ji Yang felt a sense of relief.

Before, when he was insignificant, they probably thought he would just leave and didn’t bother to focus on him, so he hadn’t been monitored.

Of course, Ji Yang also seriously reconsidered his conduct here; he really hadn’t done anything inappropriate in Qingyuan, so they’d find no faults with him.

Unsure about these situations, but when Ji Yang thought about the team members, he shook his head.

The first and second in command, one to be transferred, the other in trouble, along with three other implicated leaders, and the possibility of issues with Jiang Chaowen, left practically no one remaining.

It was a major political event, and even the county leadership couldn’t escape involvement.
