Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Ruined reputation
They stayed on Mount Putuo for a total of four days before setting off back. Although the Pure Land was quiet, it belonged to the Buddhist monks. Although they were all young, they were all rolling in the red dust.
They went to the tailor's shop in the silk market to pick up their custom-made clothes and accessories, then headed northwest to visit Moganshan.
What attracted them to Moganshan was not the beautiful scenery or the holiday villas of celebrities, but the name of the mountain, which is associated with myths and legends. In fact, it is not clear whether it is a myth. It is not certain that these things with a mythical colour, handed down from generation to generation, actually happened during the Spring and Autumn Period.
This time, Xiao Zhijie agreed with Feng Yiping's view by the West Lake. If it weren't for being born in a good place, and if the many celebrity villas on the mountain with their heavy sense of history were erased, the scenery of Moganshan would be no better than the mountain where his home is located. 'It seems that being born in a good place is really important. Apart from us humans, the same can be said for mountains and lakes.'
This time, Zhang Qiuling did not argue. In terms of scenery and summer-escape effect, the mountain in her hometown, which had become a tea plantation, was no worse than Moganshan.
Huang Jingping really liked such places. She had never been to Feng Yiping, her hometown, which was also in the mountains. The similar geographical environment was completely different from the elegant and chic buildings in their compound. The contrast was very attractive to her. I wonder if she was also thinking in her heart that it would be great if her hometown could be like this place.
When we first left our hometown to work in a foreign land, we actually kept thinking about it, the place where we were born and grew up, which may not be very good in terms of geography or natural environment. We always felt that our hometown was the most unique place in the world, but after being away for a long time, this innocent sentiment slowly faded away like smoke. We felt that that place was really synonymous with backwardness and isolation, and we didn't even want to go back.
Wang Changning, who had been frowning for the past two days, asked, 'Some people must have already received their notifications!'
It was true, it was already mid-September, and many universities' admission notices should have been sent out by now. freēwebnovel.com
'You're here to relax, don't worry, by the 15th, your family will definitely call with good news.'
'Yes, there's no point worrying now, so let's just enjoy the food on the table,' he said, taking a bite of the soft-shelled turtle. "It's so expensive, I think we'd better not leave a drop of the soup.'
When it came to things like admission notices, there were people who were more anxious than the people involved. Feng Zhenchang called Feng Yuxuan twice a day, once at noon and once in the evening, asking just one thing: "Has the notice arrived? Oh, it hasn't arrived yet!'
He shouldn't really be asking Feng Yuxuan, he should be asking the teachers at No. 1 Middle School. These days, many people at the school, from the leaders to the teachers, have been asking around for news in this area.
In the county, Liu Jianbing investigated the situation of the husband of the deputy head nurse. He is a section member of the Political and Legal Section of the County Quality Supervision Bureau, whose main responsibility is to provide services and manage the work of retired personnel.
However, Liu Jianbing's plan was only partially approved by the employer. The work style issue is a problem, but it is not fatal. It is best to find out the economic situation of Director Tao, and when mobilising, try not to involve the young nurse who has just started work, as she is already a pitiful person.
This is a little difficult, but it is also within his area of expertise. The trouble is that the real-name system for banks has not yet been implemented, and it will take some time to figure out Tao's financial situation.
As for whether it can be found, that is really not a problem. Don't you see that these days, in front of many banks and savings banks, there are banners hanging that say 'Keep Customer Secrets,' or such slogans are painted directly on the walls. This just shows that they are not doing enough to keep customer secrets.
Fortunately, there were only a few banks in the county, and Liu Jianbing used some connections, spent some money, and spent three days sorting out Director Tao's family finances. There was a total of more than 230,000 yuan in the bank, nearly 240,000 yuan, which was enough.
Two days later, the deputy head nurse's husband received a package at work, which contained not only photos but also video content. Apart from the content that would make any husband's eyes bleed, there was also some direct and indirect material that was enough to incriminate Director Tao.
However, Liu Jianbing waited for two days, but did not get the expected reaction. Could it be that he was a wimp who was willing to be a cuckold? He was already thinking about whether to immediately activate the backup plan.
Just as he was about to activate the backup plan, on the fifth day after the package was sent, Director Tao and the deputy head nurse were blocked at home by the man who had been a cuckold for several years, along with five burly men. After a severe beating, Director Tao, who was only wearing a pair of underpants, was taken all the way to the public security bureau.
What makes one even angrier than being cuckolded is the fact that one has been cuckolded all along, and everyone except oneself knows about it. Only the person involved is kept in the dark, thinking that they have been looked at with such strange looks by their neighbours for a year or two.
If there were children, this cuckolded husband might consider the impact. Of course, the prerequisite is that they must definitely go for a paternity test. Now that they don't even have children, what is there to worry about? As for his pride, it has long since been trampled on the ground for many years, so he doesn't care about it anymore.
He knows shame and is courageous. He hasn't moved for the past two days, as the old saying goes, 'To catch an adulterer, you need to catch them in the act together.' He has already called his brothers and cousins in the countryside. As for whether Director Tao's being sent to the police station in his underwear all the way violated his human rights, that really isn't a problem. Adultery is something like this, and in a county like theirs, it definitely won't get any support.
Fortunately, Director Tao had a unit. When the county hospital, which had learned the news, sent the deputy director of the office to handle it, it was actually very simple. Our country does not have the crime of adultery, and Director Tao was picked up by a van and taken back.
Although this incident caused quite a stir, it actually only provided the residents of the small town with some material for conversation. Of course, in the two days following the incident, there were bound to be things like the grape trellis in Director Tao's backyard falling over, or the family cat being very grumpy, and there were bound to be more broken dishes in the rubbish. The marriage of the deputy head nurse also came to an end, of course.
However, to the county hospital and the health bureau, this was just a minor itch that didn't matter. However, the next day, while everyone was still talking about yesterday's juicy gossip, it was the turn of the leaders of the county hospital and the health bureau to have a headache.
The deputy head nurse's husband had submitted real-name reports to the hospital, health bureau, procuratorate, and petition office, reporting that Director Tao had taken advantage of his position to receive benefits and bribes totalling hundreds of thousands of yuan.
If it were a simple report, this matter could easily be suppressed. The bank deposits and photos of Director Tao at social functions are all circumstantial evidence. However, this man, who has been cuckolded, has struck such a combination, and the effect will be different. If we take advantage of the fact that everyone is still talking about the incident from the first day, and then expose Director Tao's corruption and bribery, the fire will definitely burn to the head of the hospital and the Health Bureau.
It is easy to draw analogies and generalise. There are too many people who can do such things. One director can make more than 200,000 yuan, so how much more would the dean and vice dean, and the director of the bureau, make? When you come right down to it, this is an era where you can bring down a director with a few thousand yuan.
So, the man who was about to become the ex-husband of the deputy head nurse received a positive reply, saying that he would give you an answer as soon as possible, but this matter should not be exaggerated. He also saw the good and stopped there. After the divorce, he still had to work in the county. Everyone could understand that he had reported Director Tao, but offending too many people would not do him any good.
With the help of some people, before Director Tao could use his connections to get things unblocked by giving gifts, he was already being investigated by the procuratorate for corruption and bribery. Then, the court, with its efficiency during the crackdown, quickly handed down a verdict: he was dismissed from public office, his illegal gains were confiscated, and he was sentenced to one year in prison for demanding and accepting bribes for work-related reasons, and for accepting bribes of less than 20,000 yuan, which was a serious offence with a very bad influence.
In short, this person was completely ruined.
Liu Jianbing informed his employer of the follow-up progress and soon received another 15,000 yuan in his personal account.
This incident also taught him a lesson: never mess with a married woman. A man who gets cuckolded is just as irrational as a woman in love—he has no sense at all and simply won't consider whether or not he's being used.
