Returning to Building 1 of the Municipal Government compound, Li Da Kang, burdened with fatigue, unlocked his door.
The seemingly glamorous position of the Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee actually carried a burden of pressure that ordinary people couldn't fathom.
Having just transmigrated to this world, Li Da Kang profoundly understood what it meant to be "high and cold."
"Brother, you're back," Tian Xing Zhi came out from the house and walked over, taking the briefcase from Li Da Kang's hand.
Tian Xing Zhi was Li Da Kang's live-in maid, as well as his cousin, helping with cooking and housework.
"Yeah, I'm back," Li Da Kang replied, raising his head to look at the bedroom on the second floor where Ou Yang Jing resided.
The bedroom light was on, it seemed the earlier threats had worked, and the woman dared not stay away.
Tian Xing Zhi lowered her voice and said, "She said it was you who asked her to come back."
Li Da Kang casually said, "Yeah, I told her to come back, you go get some rest."
"Okay." Tian Xing Zhi put down the briefcase and said, "Brother, I have tea ready for you."
"Yeah." Li Da Kang nodded, and went to his study to drink the tea Tian Xing Zhi had brewed.
After a few sips of the hot tea to refresh himself, Li Da Kang called Ou Yang Jing, asking her to come to his study.
Ou Yang Jing came down to the study in a rage, questioning, "Secretary Da Kang, what a big shot you've become!"
Li Da Kang pointed to the door with his finger, calmly said, "Calm down, close the door first."
Ou Yang Jing slammed the door shut with force, coldly snorted, "I'm not in a hurry, you should be the one in a hurry!"
Li Da Kang nodded, "I'm indeed very urgent, tomorrow we'll go through the divorce procedures."
"You think you're so smart!" Ou Yang Jing sarcastically said, "You want a divorce, I'll make sure you don't get your way."
Li Da Kang sighed, "Ou Yang, we've been separated for so many years, there's no longer any substance to our marriage, why are you making this so difficult?"
Then he continued, "I heard you're applying for early retirement, and you'll be going abroad to accompany Jia Jia soon, why can't we just part ways amicably?"
Ou Yang Jing was stunned, after a moment she said viciously, "You're well informed, then I'll be honest with you, I want to destroy you, make you suffer for being a power-hungry man!"
With his wife and daughter abroad, Li Da Kang became a 'bare branch official,' forget about promotion, even his current position as a member of the Provincial Standing Committee and Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee wouldn't be safe.
Ou Yang Jing hated Li Da Kang, this jerk, who was always focused on climbing the ladder of power, never had his wife and child in his heart. All these years she lived a life like a widow.
Therefore, even though she was ready to go abroad and completely sever ties with Li Da Kang, Ou Yang Jing was unwilling to part ways amicably. She wanted to bring him down, make him lose his position.
Li Da Kang sighed, "Ou Yang, I have wronged you in the past, I apologize, but this divorce is unavoidable."
Ou Yang Jing sneered, "Now you know to apologize, why didn't you do it sooner?"
Li Da Kang suddenly changed the subject, "Ding Yi Zhen is in trouble, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate took action."
Ou Yang Jing was startled, "What did Ding Yi Zhen do, that even the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate personally got involved?"
If it was the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission that took action, there might be room for maneuver, but with the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate involved, Ding Yi Zhen must have confessed.
Li Da Kang solemnly said, "I don't know the specifics of what Ding Yi Zhen did, but you should be more aware than me."
Ou Yang Jing retorted, "Don't try to trick me, you don't know what he did, how would I know?"
Li Da Kang smiled, "Ou Yang, I just want to part ways amicably, tomorrow we'll go get a divorce."
Ou Yang Jing sneered, "What if I refuse to divorce you?"
Li Da Kang calmly said, "We should still get a divorce, if you don't divorce me, how can I have the heart to deal with the Da Feng Factory issue?"
Ou Yang Jing suddenly became a bit nervous, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Deal with the Da Feng Factory or not, what does it have to do with me?"
Li Da Kang casually said, "It has nothing to do with you, it's said that Cai Cheng Gong from the Da Feng Factory, and the chief of the Investigation Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Hou Liang Ping, are childhood friends."
Seeing Ou Yang Jing's face change, Li Da Kang added another blow, "This time the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate took action against Ding Yi Zhen, it was this Hou Liang Ping who was in charge."
Now Ou Yang Jing finally couldn't hold it anymore, her face turned pale, "Divorce, I'll divorce you, I'll go with you for the divorce tomorrow morning!"
Li Da Kang's meaning was clear, divorce amicably is fine, otherwise, if we tear each other apart, neither of us will look good.
Ou Yang Jing dared not gamble, Li Da Kang deliberately mentioned the Da Feng Factory and Cai Cheng Gong, it was possible he knew her involvement.
Even if there was no concrete evidence, he should have some understanding of the situation, if she turned against him, maybe he would really sacrifice his wife for the greater good!
Li Da Kang smiled, "That's right, as long as we get the divorce papers, I'll deal with the Da Feng Factory within three days."
Li Da Kang's intention to settle the Da Feng Factory issue wasn't for Ou Yang Jing, but to prevent the "116" incident from happening.
Li Da Kang would never allow this incident, where over 30 people were burned, to happen, not just for his career, but also for his conscience.
Seeing Li Da Kang being so ruthless, Ou Yang Jing was very angry, "Divorce is fine, Jia Jia's tuition for studying abroad, you, as the father, have to pay half!"
Li Da Kang nodded, "Okay, how much is half?"
Ou Yang Jing blurted out, "Half, it's at least 1 million."
She hadn't calculated the exact amount, but assuming 500,000 per year, it would definitely be 2 million for 4 years.
Ou Yang Jing didn't really need the money, she wasn't short of 1 million, she just wanted to make things difficult for Li Da Kang, to vent her anger.
She knew Li Da Kang valued his reputation and never took a penny of bribes, with his current salary, there was no way he could come up with 1 million.
Moreover, Li Da Kang had no savings, he never cared about managing the family finances, directly handing his salary card to Ou Yang Jing, so he shouldn't have any private funds.
To Ou Yang Jing's surprise, Li Da Kang readily agreed, "No problem, we can put this in the divorce agreement, I'll transfer the money to your account as soon as possible."
Ou Yang Jing was taken aback, then she showed a sarcastic smile, "I thought you were so clean, you threatened me with the Da Feng Factory, it turns out you're not that clean either."
Li Da Kang calmly said, "Whether I'm clean or not, it's not for you to decide, if you have the guts, go report me."
A mere 1 million, why need to be dishonest?
It's 2014 now, becoming a 'copycat writer' and copying a few popular online novels from his previous life, making 1 million wouldn't be too difficult.
…
On the other side, Qi Tong Wei came to the Han Dong Provincial Public Security Department Command Center and used technical means to locate Ding Yi Zhen's phone.
On the electronic map that occupied the entire wall of the Command Center, the point representing Ding Yi Zhen's phone location was constantly moving.
Ji Chang Ming and Chen Hai arrived, Qi Tong Wei brought them to the electronic map and pointed to the constantly moving point, "Chief Prosecutor Ji, Ding Yi Zhen is there."
Ji Chang Ming exclaimed, "Ding Yi Zhen has already left Jingzhou?"
Qi Tong Wei nodded, "Yes, he's currently on the provincial highway."
Chen Hai said, "Ding Yi Zhen is from Yan Tai, he should be heading towards Yan Tai Mountain now."
Ji Chang Ming quickly looked at Chen Hai, "Yan Tai side, did we arrange for our people?"
Chen Hai confidently said, "We arranged for them, as long as he dares to go, he'll be caught in our net!"
Ji Chang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, ordering, "Inform them, get them ready for action."
"Yes!" Chen Hai nodded in agreement, took out his phone and made a call, "Team 4, the target has headed towards Yan Tai Mountain, estimated to arrive in three hours, keep your eyes peeled!"
Qi Tong Wei teased, "I say Director Chen Hai, you can roll your eyes as big as you want, there's no way I'll let him reach Yan Tai."
Ji Chang Ming and Chen Hai didn't know, but Qi Tong Wei was very clear that the point on the electronic map was indeed Ding Yi Zhen's phone location, but it wasn't Ding Yi Zhen's position.
At this moment, Ding Yi Zhen was already on an international flight to America. He simply left his phone in the car and, under the pretense of his mother falling ill, had the driver drive back to Yan Tai to pick up his mother.
Using this little trick to draw the attention of the police and prosecutors, with Qi Tong Wei's arranged personnel assisting, Ding Yi Zhen at this moment, was happily celebrating on the flight to America, sipping champagne.
Thinking he had escaped, Ding Yi Zhen had no idea that reaching America would be the beginning of his nightmare. Awaiting him were endless dishes to wash and toilets to scrub.
