Chapter 752: Chapter 752 Talking about Longkou Affairs
The car had just arrived at the county government when Lei Zhongqian came out to greet them.
“Mayor Ji.”
Waving his hand, Ji Yang said, “Let’s go inside to talk.”
When they entered the small conference room, the city leaders were already sitting inside, holding a meeting. Speaking was Bureau Chief Gongsun Hong, sitting next to him was Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Gao Huashan.
“Mr. Ji Yang has arrived, please take a seat,” Gao Huashan said to Ji Yang.
Ji Yang did not say much and went over to sit down.
Gongsun Hong’s gaze swept over Ji Yang.
Gao Huashan said to Ji Yang, “These individuals are from the Special Bureau, and this is Bureau Chief Gongsun Hong.”
Ji Yang responded, “I just found out about the situation here and rushed over from the city. Please let us know what needs to be done.”
Then Gongsun Hong spoke up, “You are aware of the situation with the cultivation heritage site. Recently, many rumors have emerged from that place, claiming to involve genuine cultivation heritage.”
Was this a move to make these matters public?
Ji Yang didn’t understand why he would say such things.
However, considering the level of the people sitting here and some naturally representing large forces, he figured they must already know and thus he felt relieved.
Gongsun Hong continued, “The situation has been clarified. It’s very likely that the cultivation heritage exists, otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many people fighting over it. Initially, our colleagues in the Bureau were guarding and investigating the site, but then a foreign power intervened. A battle ensued, and they came prepared. Our Bureau suffered heavy casualties. Later, a mysterious figure emerged, eliminated those foreigners, and also saved our two deputy directors. They were injured and are currently undergoing treatment.”
There was little change in Ji Yang’s expression, but inside he was thinking that it turned out those two women had used their injuries as an excuse.
This was also good — the matter of him having slept with them would not leak out for the time being.
Gongsun Hong continued, “Such a significant incident has already disturbed the peace of Shisong County, and we must report the matter to you. If any situation arises, we hope the local authorities can promptly report to us so we can find the people involved. Currently, we do not know the status of the third-party forces, whether they are evil or benevolent. We are also concerned about the safety and stability of Shisong County. Now that the city leaders have come, you need to take responsibility for this matter.”
Gao Huashan looked at Ji Yang and said, “Mr. Ji Yang, you lead here; you must take charge of this work.”
“I will.”
“Hmm, this is not a minor issue. We still do not know precisely what this cultivation heritage entails. There are rumors that it was taken by someone from Nanyang. If it still remains in Shisong County or in Ximu City, we need to find it.”
Ji Yang nodded earnestly.
At this point, Ji Yang hesitated and then said, “Leaders, there’s a situation I would like to mention.”
“What is it?” Gongsun Hong looked at Ji Yang as if trying to see him clearly.
Ji Yang explained, “When I was in Xiashan County, I originally wanted to see if I could help develop the area. However, that led to uncovering a human trafficking scandal there. While sorting that out, I brought in the Mi Yu Group for investment. As you all know, I fostered the development of Mi Yu Group back in Qingyuan Village, and they are eager to invest in the areas I administer. They conducted investment negotiations with the local government. Actually, I did not participate in the negotiations to avoid any potential issues due to my involvement.”
A leader sitting next to Gongsun Hong said, “I’m aware of this matter. Someone reported it, and we conducted a covert investigation. It is indeed as you described. You did not give their company any advantages, and the land acquisition process was open and transparent. This can be confirmed by our Provincial Discipline Committee. However, is this related to the current situation?”
Ji Yang thought to himself that indeed, someone was watching him closely, but fortunately, he hadn’t done anything questionable.
“Indeed, there’s no direct connection. However, when they began the development of the acquired land, they discovered a place called Tufang Village with a peculiar spot known as Longkou. It is said to emit cold air all year round, causing many people who visit there to fall gravely ill and die. I even tried to enter but could only endure a short distance due to the extreme cold. Additionally, there are springs flowing from within, giving the place a very strange feeling. I would like the colleagues from the Special Department to check if it might be related to some kind of ‘Formation’ of the cultivators.”
At this disclosure, Gongsun Hong’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Where is this place? We must immediately go to see it.”
