142: Chapter 141 The more you know, the more gruesome your death will be!

"What!!"

Hearing Zhang Jingque's words, everyone looked at her with expressions of fear.

Fang Yihong stood up from his seat in extreme tension and quickly walked over to Zhang Jingque.

"Why did the Discipline Inspection Commission take Yang Tian away?"

Liu Dachui immediately followed up, asking, "Yeah, what does this have to do with the Discipline Inspection Commission? Why didn't they take the doctors away? Why take Yang Tian?"

Zhang Jingque was so terrified that her body was trembling slightly.

"I—I don't know. We were fishing by the river when a black business van suddenly stopped on the green belt by the river. Four men in black suits got out, showed their IDs, and just hauled Yang Tian away without giving anyone a chance to speak."

Liao Jiancheng narrowed his eyes and said with great displeasure, "If the Discipline Inspection Commission wants to take someone away, especially a deputy chief, they must first get approval from the County Committee and then notify our Bureau's Party Committee before they can make an arrest. Doing it this way doesn't follow organizational procedures!"

Liu Dachui followed up by asking softly out of curiosity, "Yang Tian isn't a Party member; does it still need to go through the County Committee and the Bureau's Party Committee??"

"This!!"

Liao Jiancheng's gaze froze.

"It seems... not!?"

Thinking of this, he immediately turned to look at Fang Yihong and Liu Dachui.

"Let's go, to the County Committee."

Twenty minutes later.

The County Party Secretary's office.

"Unreasonable!"

Yang Zhizhe slammed his hand onto the desk in front of Fang Yihong, Liao Jiancheng, and the others, shouting angrily, "Does the Discipline Inspection Commission really think they're the Embroidered Uniform Guard? In broad daylight, without filing a report or following procedures, they dare to take away a recipient of first-class merit?"

After his shout, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed the Director of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision.

"What! It wasn't you who caught him?"

Yang Zhizhe looked up at Liao Jiancheng and the others in shock.

"If it wasn't you, who else would dare to arrest someone on our turf?"

"The Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission??"

Hearing those words, even Yang Zhizhe was shaken, let alone Liao Jiancheng, Fang Yihong, and the others.

Putting down the phone, Yang Zhizhe whispered to himself, "The Municipal level noticed the Yucheng Hospital matter so quickly?"

Liao Jiancheng: "I'm afraid someone is pulling strings behind the scenes."

Fang Yihong asked urgently, "What do we do now?"

Yang Zhizhe pondered for a few seconds and responded, "Wait and see how the wind blows."

"This..."

Liao Jiancheng and the others fell silent instantly.

The meaning of 'wait and see how the wind blows' is simple.

It means taking it one step at a time, seeing the attitude of those above, and then taking appropriate measures.

"Then..."

Just as Liao Jiancheng was about to speak, Yang Zhizhe added, "When necessary, I will take action!"

Liao Jiancheng and the others walked out of the County Committee feeling somewhat powerless.

Once someone from the city level intervenes in this matter, with their influence and status, it's impossible for them to get involved.

"How is it?" Zhang Jingque asked as she stepped out of the official car.

Fang Yihong explained the situation.

Zhang Jingque whispered to herself, "How did it even alert the city level??"

--

Lincheng County, Qianzhou City.

After Yang Tian was taken into the business van, they headed east all the way to the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission's detention point in Lincheng County.

The leader brought Yang Tian into a detention room.

Yang Tian walked in and looked around.

The entire detention room was a single unit, equipped with a simple toilet and washing facilities. In addition, there were tables, chairs, and other items used for interrogation.

To prevent accidents such as suicide or self-harm by the relevant personnel, the inner walls of the detention room were all padded, and the corners of the tables and chairs were rounded.

Yang Tian sat down in the chair in front of the table and couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

He hadn't embezzled a single cent.

He didn't expect to receive this kind of treatment!

He looked up with a cold glint in his eyes at the person in charge of the Discipline Inspection Commission and asked, "Secretary Zhang, can you finally tell me what mistake I've made??"

Zhang Debiao, bearded, semi-bald, about fifty years old, currently the Deputy Secretary of the Qianzhou Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission.

Hearing Yang Tian's words, Zhang Debiao closed the detention room door and sat on a stool by the interrogation table, looking at him.

"You have been spreading rumors extensively on the internet, violating organizational discipline. I have been ordered to bring you here for investigation!"

[Someone told me to bring you here to scare you. Who told you to offend someone you shouldn't have!] — From Zhang Debiao's inner thoughts.

"Hahaha!" Yang Tian laughed loudly. "Listen to yourself. Coming from your mouth, even you don't believe those words!"

Hearing Yang Tian's mockery, Zhang Debiao's anger flared up instantly, and he slammed the table hard. "Be serious!"

Yang Tian crossed his legs and said, "If this matter turns out to be true, aren't you afraid of being dragged down with them??"

Zhang Debiao's expression froze. "What nonsense are you talking about? This is routine business and follows proper procedures!"

[This kid, could he know some inside information? If this matter is true, I won't be able to escape the blame!] — From Zhang Debiao's inner thoughts.

Oh?

You're afraid too?

Yang Tian smiled!

If you're afraid too, then this matter will be easier to handle.

He waved his hand at Zhang Debiao. "Let me tell you a secret!"

"Go ahead," Zhang Debiao said, looking at Yang Tian.

"There are surveillance cameras everywhere here. Lean in, I'll only tell you."

Zhang Debiao leaned his hands on the table and brought his ear closer.

Yang Tian whispered in his ear, "There aren't just five victims. There are hundreds for whom evidence can be collected. Are you sure you want to wade into these muddy waters?"

Zhang Debiao frowned. After a moment of shock, he quickly snapped back to reality. "How is that possible? Spreading rumors even at a Discipline Inspection Commission detention point? I see you are stubborn and unrepentant. Reflect on yourself here!"

With that, he walked out of the detention room and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

As he walked out of the detention point's main gate, he took his phone from the locker, feeling somewhat uneasy.

In terms of aura alone, the other party had him completely under control.

And the most crucial part was the psychological game; he seemed to have seen through everything.

He was merely someone else's pawn, and Yang Tian seemed to know exactly how this move would be played.

Thinking of this, he dialed a number.

"Leader, this Yang Tian is not simple!"

"I know he's not simple," the other party's voice was low and powerful.

Zhang Debiao added, "And he knows too much. Could the USB drive Director Zeng and the others mentioned be in his hands?"

"It's very likely!"

The other end of the phone paused for a moment, then added.

"Find a way to make him reveal where the USB drive is!"

"That... might be a bit difficult. He is very skilled at psychological games."

"Then use any means necessary!"

With that, the other party hung up the phone.

By any means necessary??

Zhang Debiao's expression darkened, and he whispered, "As expected, the more you know, the more miserably you die!"

Inside the detention room.

The door was opened again.

Two custodial Assistant Police Officers and one Police Officer walked in.

The four of them looked at each other.

Yang Tian and that Police Officer were completely dumbfounded.
