Please, mature women, have some self-respect. I just want a raise and a promotion.

Upon hearing Lin Zheng's sarcastic remarks, Wang Jianguo was furious.

What angered him even more was that the person leading the team was none other than Lin Hai, whom he had personally trained.

"Lin Hai, you ungrateful wretch, I will never let you get away with this!"

Lin Zheng said, "Mayor Wang, you should start thinking about how you're going to spend the rest of your life."

"Violating the spirit of the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, engaging in inappropriate sexual relations, and committing serious dereliction of duty."

"Just for these few things, a three- to five-year sentence wouldn't be unjust."

Lin Hai didn't want to talk to Wang Jianguo any longer. With a wave of his hand, the police officers behind him immediately took out handcuffs and handcuffed Wang Jianguo.

Back at the station, Lin Hai immediately began interrogation to prevent the forces behind Wang Jianguo from getting involved.

When Yang Wanshan learned that Wang Jianguo had been arrested on the spot and taken back to the police station, he couldn't stop smiling.

After laughing, he quickly calmed down.

Although Wang Jianguo has been detained, the matter has not been exposed, so there is still a possibility of further action.

Moreover, without the district's support, Wang Jianguo wouldn't dare to act so recklessly and fight against him.

We absolutely cannot let Wang Jianguo turn things around!

Thinking of this, Yang Wanshan immediately dialed Liu Changhe's number.

"District Chief Liu, something has happened to Wang Jianguo."

"He was having illicit affairs at the Oriental Hotel and was apprehended by Lin Hai from the local police station."

Was Wang Jianguo pinned down by Lin Hai?

Liu Changhe on the other end of the phone was taken aback, then something occurred to him.

"Was this your work?"

Yang Wanshan paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "He wants to bring me down, so I have no choice but to fight back."

"Well done. Wang Jianguo is a puppet that old bastard Zhou Guangrong put up."

"That old guy wants to oust you and disrupt the situation in the district so he can install his own people in power."

"You shut Wang Jianguo down, and I'll have the Party Secretary hold a mobilization meeting tomorrow."

Yang Wanshan was shocked after hearing Liu Changhe's words.

He had previously thought that the position of the top official in Dianhai Town would definitely implicate the district.

It turns out he was oversimplifying things.

Coming to his senses, Yang Wanshan said, "District Chief Liu, I'm worried that the district will get involved. Could you provide some support?"

"I can hold off the district for now, but you'll have to deal with Dianhai Town yourself."

"We must act quickly regarding Wang Jianguo's matter, otherwise there will be even greater resistance."

Liu Changhe hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

Yang Wanshan was so angry he wanted to curse.

What Liu Changhe said was utter nonsense; in the end, everything still depends on him.

Moreover, he sensed a hint of crisis from Liu Changhe's words.

Both he and Wang Jianguo were pawns brought into the open.

These people are like pawns, and they could be discarded at any time.

Judging from Liu Changhe's tone now, he seems to only care about winning or losing his game with Zhou Guangrong, and not about whether he lives or dies.

After analyzing the situation for a while, a sense of fear rose in Yang Wanshan's heart.

However, there's no turning back now. If he doesn't kill Wang Jianguo, he'll be the one to die once Wang Jianguo turns the tables.

Just as Yang Wanshan was pondering his next move, Lin Zheng called.

"Mayor Yang, something has happened."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wanshan's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened? Tell me in detail."

"Lin Hai just called me, saying that Li Tianhui, the deputy director of the branch office, called him and asked him to transfer the case to the branch office."

Yang Wanshan was stunned for a moment, then burst into curses: "Li Tianhui is in charge of administration, what the hell does Wang Jianguo have to do with this?"

Lin Zheng said, "Mayor Yang, don't rush to scold us. We need to think of a way to prevent Li Tianhui from taking the person away."

"Otherwise, when Wang Jianguo arrived at the branch office, the matter would definitely be handled hastily."

Before Wang Jianguo was established, he had anticipated resistance and intervention, which is why he gave Yang Wanshan a heads-up in advance.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jianguo was able to influence the deputy director of the district branch in charge of criminal investigation.

Lin Zheng actually had another method, but this method was not in his best interest.

After careful consideration, he decided to push Yang Wanshan out to take the fall, and he had even come up with a plan for how to do so.

However, he couldn't mention this method of taking the blame; he could only guide Yang Wanshan to do it.

Once he brings it up, Yang Wanshan will suspect his motives.

"Lin Zheng, we finally managed to subdue Wang Jianguo, we absolutely cannot let this go so easily."

Yang Wanshan practically shouted these words.

Regardless of whether he orchestrated this plan or not, Wang Jianguo will hold him accountable.

Once Wang Jianguo is released, we must fight him to the death.

The current situation is a life-or-death struggle; there are no other options.

"Mayor Yang, the biggest obstacle right now is the district police station."

"Could you persuade District Chief Liu to handle things with Li Tianhui?"

Although Lin Zheng said this, he had other plans in mind.

Through the previous bugging incident, he knew that Yang Wanshan was nothing more than a pawn of Liu Changhe.

Given Liu Changhe's shrewdness, he would never risk offending the district public security system for Yang Wanshan's life or death.

Without Liu Changhe's help, the most direct and effective way for Yang Wanshan to kill Wang Jianguo was to act first and report later.

Skip the district level and directly convene the media in the town to publicly announce Wang Jianguo's case, and then announce the removal of Wang Jianguo from his party position.

In this way, Wang Jianguo was powerless to reverse the situation.

This approach is reasonable and compliant, but it violates the procedures.

Even if Yang Wanshan manages to win over Wang Jianguo, he will still be punished.

Lin Zheng's plan to take the fall was to provoke Yang Wanshan into doing something reckless.

Yang Wanshan held his phone, his brows furrowed.

After thinking for a moment, he directly recounted his conversation with Liu Changhe.

Lin Zheng seized on the key point in Liu Changhe's words and tried to mislead him, saying, "Mayor Yang, I think District Chief Liu might be hinting at something to you?"

"Didn't he say that the town told you to handle it yourself, and even reminded you to hurry?"

"This means you're being given full control over the process."

"With him holding the line in the district, what else do you have to worry about?"

Yang Wanshan was taken aback when he heard this.

He didn't rush to answer Lin Zheng, but instead weighed the pros and cons.

Although Liu Changhe said he would help him hold off the district, you can't believe him.

A few dozen seconds later, a hint of madness flashed in Yang Wanshan's eyes.

"Lin Zheng, the district can't provide any more support."

"I plan to take the 'act first, report later' approach and completely crush Wang Jianguo first."

"Once this old fox gets in, I'll figure out how the district will handle it."

Upon hearing this call, Lin Zheng on the other end almost burst out laughing.

He knew that Yang Wanshan had been driven completely mad by Wang Jianguo and had resorted to the reckless methods he had prepared.

Originally, he was thinking about how to guide Yang Wanshan step by step.

Unexpectedly, Yang Wanshan brought it up himself.

"Mayor Yang, what are your plans?"

Yang Wanshan didn't hide anything and spoke his mind.

Now he unconditionally trusts Lin Zheng and is asking Lin Zheng for his advice.

His plan was almost identical to Lin Zheng's.

After listening, Lin Zheng did not hesitate to flatter him to death.

"Mayor Yang, your decision is currently the safest and most reliable one."

"If Wang Jianguo goes in, the district will definitely not dare to do anything to you in order to maintain the overall situation."

"Otherwise, wouldn't the town be in chaos without a leader?"

After hearing this, Yang Wanshan smiled confidently, and his anxiety subsided.

"Lin Zheng, you're right, the town can't be without leaders."

"The district doesn't want to see Dianhai Town in chaos, so they definitely won't dare to touch me easily."
