Chapter 521: It’s Over
At this moment, Deputy Director Tan looked at Madam Ou with less awe and respect than before, and with more inexplicable emotions that seemed to be a mixture of sympathy and sadness. Even so, Madam Ou clearly spotted a trace of ridicule in his eyes.
At this moment, Madam Ou’s heart sank.
The friendship in officialdom changed rapidly.
This Deputy Director Tan had always helped their old man Ou to carry his bags, and when he faced them before, he followed them everywhere and was very thoughtful. Yet now…
Although Deputy Director Tan had not said anything yet, Madam Ou already staggered backward a little, such that she was supported by two secretaries behind her.
“Director, what’s the situation?” The two secretaries asked after seeing that something was wrong.
After Deputy Director Tan saw that everyone was gathering around, he finally asked, “Madam Ou, I heard that your daughter has taken a fancy to someone else’s fiancé, so she hired a murderer twice and tried to rape and kill someone else.”
As soon as Deputy Director Tan’s words were uttered, the look in the government staffs’ eyes changed.
Madam Ou shook her head vigorously. “No! Our Mingxi was wronged! That woman was the one who clearly hurt our Mingxi. Our Mingxi is the victim, we…”
Deputy Director Tan interrupted Madam Ou. “Okay, Madam Ou, I’m just asking. After all, we don’t know the ins and outs of this matter, so we won’t talk about it.
“I asked Chief Constable Wang about the situation at the police station just now, and this is what he said: He said that Miss Ou is suspected of a very serious rape and murder case, that the target was the fiancée of a senior military officer, and that the circumstances were very bad. However, Deputy Governor Ou still looked indifferent, feeling that since the military officer’s fiancée was not substantially harmed anyway, that not only should Miss Ou not be responsible, but that the military officer’s fiancée should be responsible for this instead.”
After saying that, Deputy Director Tan glanced at Madam Ou; After all, Madam Ou also behaved like that just now.
“That military officer was very angry, and it’s thought that he had already collected some bad information about Deputy Governor Ou before, so as Deputy Governor Ou fought hard with that military officer, the military officer brought out evidence of Deputy Governor Ou accepting huge bribes.
“At that time, Mayor Li, Governor Mu, and Commander-in-Chief Leng of the military base were with Deputy Governor Ou, whilst the evidence that the military officer presented was very solid and unrefutable. Because of this, Governor Mu said that he would deal with this matter seriously.
“Madam Ou, Mayor Li also wanted to help Deputy Governor Ou at the time, but the evidence given by the military officer was too significant, so…”
Knowing that Deputy Governor Ou had suffered his downfall, the two secretaries supporting Madam Ou directly let go of her when they felt Madam Ou’s legs give way again.
Madam Ou fell straight to the ground.
It was over.
It was all over for them.
Originally, the change of political term was imminent, and the political secretaries and the mayor would have to be promoted one level higher. Ou Chenghe ranked high among the deputy governors, and Mayor Li even mentioned to their old man Ou several times that he planned to promote him to the position of mayor.
She originally thought that their lives would continue to be glorious, but because of Chi Yang, their family had been plunged into eternal doom.
At this moment, Madam Ou had no idea how to express the regret in her heart.
If she had not spoiled her daughter, if she did not approve of it when Ou Mingxi had told her at the time that she wanted to attack Zhong Nuannuan, and stopped her instead…
