"What! You don't know who Ding Xia and Qiu Yong are? Go read the news! Are you brain-dead? You don't even read the news! Kill them right now!"
"Also, take care of those Minhong people who are protecting Ding Xia! If you don't kill them, cripple them!"
After hanging up the phone, Jia Maode sat angrily on the Italian-made genuine leather sofa in his luxurious office. Seeing the sterling silver ashtray on the mahogany coffee table, he suddenly bent down, grabbed it, and smashed it to the ground. The sound was loud on the solid wood floor, creating a chip in the golden floor.

Chapter 326 The Situation Has Changed

This is an extremely luxurious office. At first glance, it's impossible to associate it with the office of a government worker, but it is indeed Vice Governor Jia's office.
In Shanxi, Jia Maode was like a local tyrant. Even though there were a few people above him with higher official positions, no one had as much power as him because his words were like imperial edicts in Shanxi. Everyone had to give him face, and anyone who went against his will would not have a good ending!
(To reiterate: This story takes place in a parallel universe. Please do not connect it to reality. The author has never been to Shanxi and does not know or have heard of anyone from Shanxi who did this!)
Of course, Jamoud also knew where his power came from. It was because of his government position that he had more and more power. Therefore, he could also do some things according to the rules of officialdom with his colleagues. He would only use other means to retaliate against officials who were openly opposed to him. So, his relationship with his colleagues had always been quite good. Even if they did not accept him as a person, they would at least treat each other well on the surface.
At the same time, the Shanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection received a report.
Although the report was submitted anonymously, its contents compelled the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to take it very seriously. They immediately convened a Party Committee meeting and decided to first report to the National Commission for Discipline Inspection before proceeding with further instructions.
The report was detailed and covered a wide range of topics, all of which were personal information about Vice Governor Jia Maode.
Colluding with local governments and shady forces, they acted lawlessly and committed all sorts of evil deeds. Detailed information on the victims, their physical injuries and economic losses; real estate, company shares and bank deposits under the names of Jia Maode himself, his relatives and even his lover; and even the bank accounts and fund changes of Jia Maode's children and grandchildren who were sent abroad.
What surprised the provincial discipline inspection commission the most was the two Swiss bank accounts, the amount of money in them was alarming, and what was even more alarming was the two website addresses and passwords that allowed the funds in the accounts to be accessed online!
The provincial discipline inspection commission did not dare to verify the correctness of the password. Instead, it reported to its superiors and waited for instructions before proceeding with the next step. Otherwise, it might alert the enemy.
Even so, the unprecedentedly detailed whistleblower materials still made those who knew about the matter uneasy, as if a pair of eyes were watching their every word and action, and the sense of oppression was indescribably heavy.
A USB drive contained dozens of photos and film negatives. Besides the electronic version of the whistleblower's materials, the USB drive also contained several video clips and image files, which were nothing more than allegations of Jia Maode's decadent personal life, keeping a mistress, and plotting to have the mistress murder Ding Xia and frame Taiyuan Minhong Hospital for the crime.
Although the video and dialogue contain only a few brief sentences about the lawsuit involving Minhong Hospital, they are sufficient as evidence in the case. The majority of the content consists of obscene scenes. Compared to the preceding materials, this issue of personal conduct is relatively minor.
“Yaoyao, Jia Maode hired someone to commit the murder. It seems he wanted to kill them to cover it up and solidify the evidence against Minhong Pharmacy. This would not only solve his problem with Ji Rong, but also prevent Minhong Hospital from overturning the case.”
Xiao Cao's voice suddenly rang out, startling Lin Yao, who was sitting in the taxi. He hadn't expected Jia Maode to be so ruthless. Just when things seemed to be turning around in court, he pulled this stunt. It was truly vicious, and he was indeed a ruthless and decisive tyrant.
Who is the target?
“It’s Ding Xia and her husband Qiu Yong. People from Minhong will also suffer, but it didn’t say they would kill anyone from Minhong.”
Xiao Cao's answer made Lin Yao instantly understand Jia Maode's intention: to silence Ding Xia because he wanted to continue to attack Min Hong. Once the person involved died, Min Hong would have no way to defend himself.
The reason Qiu Yong was killed was likely due to a matter of male pride. Given Jia Maode's controlling personality, he would absolutely not allow any other man to touch his women, even mistresses. It's estimated that many high-ranking officials in Shanxi already knew that Ji Rong was Jia Maode's woman. That's why he harbored even greater resentment towards Qiu Yong and couldn't tolerate him continuing to live.
Lin Yao immediately notified Ge Yong by phone that the leader of the Minhong Security Team had personally led a team to Taiyuan. Lin Yao instructed him to move Ding Xia to a safe location and to immediately send someone to pick up Qiu Yong, who had been taken away by the bailiffs. The attack on Ji Rong was not serious, and Qiu Yong's lawyer would soon be able to take him out of the courthouse, but his subsequent security was the top priority.
"Little Grass, you've been keeping an eye on Jia Maode all this time? How come you heard him on the phone?"
After assigning tasks, Lin Yao raised his question. Although the courthouse was probably only a few hundred meters away from Jia Maode's office, Jia Maode might not even be in his office. Could it really be such a coincidence? Lin Yao preferred to believe that Xiao Cao had been following Jia Maode's movements, which was why she knew all the details about him immediately.
"Well... I only paid attention to our report materials, following the movement of the courier company's package, but I didn't keep an eye on Jia Maode all the time."
Xiaocao's words puzzled Lin Yao even more. He wondered how she could have overheard Jia Maode hiring someone to kill someone. Xiaocao's next words immediately cleared up his doubts.
"Yaoyao, I'm so amazing! Let me tell you, I'm incredible!"
The little grass kept bragging, refusing to tell Lin Yao the answer, making Lin Yao's heart itch like it was being scratched by a kitten. "Tell me quickly! The little grass is amazing! The little grass is the most amazing!"
"Hehe, yes, I'm the most, most, most amazing!"
Xiao Cao accepted Lin Yao's comments without any shame, "Ming Jin has been eating that beef leg for who knows how many years, so he has some experience in the application of witchcraft. Recently, I discovered that I have also mastered some witchcraft."
“When I caught him cheating last time, I took a hair from Jia Maode and remembered his features. Now, with just a thought, well, I’m using witchcraft, I can immediately know his location. It’s somewhat similar to your ‘Thousand Mountain Gu’ last time. Then, I can immediately find Jia Maode by investigating along that direction.”
"That's amazing?!" Lin Yao was genuinely shocked. "Why didn't you tell me when we went back to Chengdu last time?! I told you to memorize the characteristics of your parents and grandparents so you wouldn't be afraid of being kidnapped in the future."
Lin Yao was still shaken by the kidnapping incident, and Xiao Cao's ability was perfect for solving the problem. So he immediately thought of setting a coordinate for his loved ones. "By the way, how far away are you? Can you, like 'Thousand Mountain Gu,' know the direction and distance no matter how far away you are?"
"Well, I don't know. I only discovered it a few days ago. Although Mingjin has some witchcraft, I guess it doesn't know how to use it. This ability comes from Chiyou's ox leg. How could that country bumpkin Mingjin have the opportunity to test it? It's made me slowly figure out my own abilities."
Lin Yao ignored Xiao Cao's self-serving words; he was thinking that after dealing with things in Taiyuan, he would immediately return to Chengdu to reconnect with his family. That way, they would be easy to find if anything happened.
Soon the taxi arrived at a farmhouse on the outskirts of Taiyuan. Lin Yao met up with Ge Yong, Ding Xia and others, and waited for the people sent to pick up Qiu Yong. Then they just had to wait for the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to invite Jia Maode for tea, and the matter would basically be over.
Due to the intense attention from major domestic media outlets, Qiu Yong was quickly taken out by his lawyer according to normal procedures. However, he had to pay 10,000 yuan, which was unclear whether it should be called "bail" or some other fee, before he was allowed to leave. It was not specified whether the deposit or fine was for "contempt of court" or "intentional assault." Of course, Qiu Yong did not care about this small amount of money; he just wanted to see his wife, Ding Xia, as soon as possible.
The security team's preparations in Taiyuan were clearly thorough, and they dismissed Qiu Yong's lawyer. After taking him around several times, they escaped the media's pursuit and returned to the gathering point on the outskirts of the city. The couple, Ding Xia and Qiu Yong, embraced and wept bitterly, a very touching scene.
"Yaoyao, Jia Maode and Ji Rong are together again. Shall we take some photos and videos?"
The sound of the little grass made Lin Yao both laugh and cry.
