Yang Chen decided to personally visit White Stone Township to show enough sincerity and have a face-to-face talk with the head of Baiqing River. Before leaving, he repeatedly urged, "While I'm away, you must be patient in dealing with everything. Don't conflict with Secretary Wang and County Magistrate Guo to avoid alerting them. If there's anything urgent, find Director Xu."
Tai Man impatiently responded, "Got it, go quickly. Why are you more long-winded than my mom?"
Yang Chen found a reason to leave the County Party Committee and County Government courtyard, and to avoid suspicion, he circled around county before heading to White Stone Township to privately meet with the director of Baiqing River.
Baiqing River is in his fifties, with a square face and graying hair, giving off a dignified vibe.
Yang Chen Get straight to the point and directly state the purpose.
Baiqing River has also heard about the collapse of the newly built government office in county, and has long been aware of Fei Bin's scandal. "Is this really the intention of the New county magistrate?"
"This is such a big deal, I can't fake an imperial decree. If it weren't for the county magistrate's conspicuous presence, he wouldn't have come in person."
Baiqing River stood up excitedly and slammed the table, "I'll do it, I won't let the county magistrate down."
"Director Bai, you are an experienced police officer. You understand the political environment in Hualin better than I do. Please be careful. If things go wrong, it will not only be difficult for you, but also for me and the county head to stay in Hualin."
Baiqing River nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. It's time for someone to stir up the stagnant waters in the political arena of Hualin. If the county head can clear and invigorate this stagnant water, she deserves to be remembered by the people of Hualin."
"Let's talk about this when you meet the County Mayor, please."
After Yang Chen made it clear, he immediately returned from White Stone Township to Hualin County. By the time he got back to the county government, it was almost time to get off work. He entered the County Mayor's Office and saw Tai Man looking as gloomy as a cloudy day. Concerned, he asked, "Leader, you didn't have a conflict with the secretary or County Magistrate Guo, did you?"
"No, I held back," Tai Man said irritably.
Yang Chen relaxed and continued to ask, "What did they do to make you so upset again?"
"Wang Hongen has already reported the investigation results and casualties of the accident to the urban area. He actually wrote in the report 2 dead, 8 seriously injured, and 1 lightly injured. Can he bring those 6 dead people back to life?"
Yang Chen is not surprised by this. "Secretary Wang cannot bring those 6 people back to life, but he can make them die later."
"What does that mean?" Tai Man was completely confused, "The person is already dead, how can we make them die later?"
"When I say 'die later,' I don't mean actual life and death, but the life and death reported in the incident," Secretary Wang explained. "If the report states 2 dead, 8 seriously injured, and 1 lightly injured, then it's considered a general safety accident, and there's no need to report to the provincial authorities. If the provincial authorities receive the news and investigate, we can also say that the other 6 people died during the treatment process, then there would be no problem with the report." This is the usual routine used by Hualin County in the event of a safety accident, with the aim of minimizing the severity of the incident.
Tai Man was stunned by what he heard, never expecting such an operation to be possible. It was truly an eye-opening experience!
Seeing Tai Man's shocked expression, Yang Chen smiled and said, "This is the necessary experience of going to the grassroots. You will encounter all sorts of strange and unbelievable things. If you don't go deep into the grassroots, you will never understand. I'm just curious how the families of the victims were persuaded."
If the victim's family causes a scene, Wang Hongen's report can easily be exposed.
"Money Can Make the Devil Do Anything," Tai Man said sarcastically.
Yang Chen furrowed his brow, "How can the county's finances be used to silence these families?"
"The money didn't come from the county, it came from United Construction Company. Each deceased person received 3 million in compensation, 2 million for serious injuries, and even the migrant workers with minor injuries received 500,000 in compensation."
The compensation amount is very high, no wonder the families did not cause trouble.
"Yang Chen pondered, 'Is Fei Bin equivalent to giving away all the money earned over the years? Why would he do this? Could it be because of a guilty conscience?'"
"He has a conscience? The only reason he's willing to pay nearly 30 million in compensation is because he feels guilty. It seems our previous speculation was correct, Fei Bin must be responsible for this accident, and Lei Huashen is taking the blame for him." Tai Man's suspicion grew stronger.
Yang Chen nodded and said, "We can't let this kind of person escape punishment!"
After the report was submitted to the urban area, it was quickly approved, and the accident was reported. Lei Huashen and other directly responsible persons were transferred to the inspection agency and ordered to be strictly and quickly tried. The deputy county mayor in charge of urban construction work was given a warning, and the director of the Urban Construction Bureau was demoted. United Construction Company, as the construction party, was also fined a huge amount. Fei Bin was found to have lacked effective supervision of subordinates, but made active compensation to the families of the victims. No criminal punishment was imposed, but he was ordered not to engage in the construction-related industry for three years.
A relatively large safety accident that resulted in 8 deaths and 2 serious injuries gradually subsided. As the ruins were cleared, gradually, no one discussed it anymore, as if it had never happened.
Tai Man has not forgotten, but the larger safety accident that resulted in 8 deaths and 2 serious injuries is like a thorn constantly pricking her heart. She almost urges Yang Chen every day to inquire about the progress of the investigation into Baiqing River.
Baiqing River is just a deputy director, with limited authority and unable to openly investigate, so naturally the progress is not so fast.
Tai Man can only wait patiently for news and focus on the Ling River Project for now. Yang Chen occasionally goes to the office of the secretary to find opportunities to embarrass Zhao Na.
Zhao Na is almost being driven crazy by Yang Chen, and she is making a fuss, asking Wang Ji to transfer her out of the government office, which has resulted in Yang Chen losing some amusement in his spare time.
On that day, Yang Chen and Tai Man returned to county from the construction site of the Ling River Project. It was already dark when they returned, so they just had a quick meal and went straight back to their residence. When they arrived downstairs, they found Xia Qi unexpectedly waiting there.
Tai Man didn't want to see Xia Qi, "During this time, she has been coming to the county government almost every day. Since she couldn't see me, she actually came to block my door. Please stop her, I don't want to see her."
Xia Qi also saw Tai Man and Yang Chen running in high heels.
Yang Chen stepped forward to stop Xia Qi, while Tai Man took the opportunity to enter the unit door while Xia Qi was stopped.
"Yang Chen, let go of me. I'm not here for you, I want to see County Chief Tai."
Yang Chen pushed Xia Qi away, " Xia Qi, County Chief Tai has been busy all day and doesn't want to see anyone. If you dare to harass the county chief again, I will call the police. It won't sound good if a well-known female entrepreneur from Hualin gets arrested for harassing the county chief."
"Also, I haven't settled the score with you for hiring someone to beat me up last time!"
"Last time was just a little lesson for humiliating me. If you dare to mess with me again, it won't be just a lesson!" Xia Qi warned through gritted teeth.
