In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

Upon hearing this, Li Feitu quickly said, "Aunt Ye, now that we know what they're thinking, there's no need to wait any longer."

"How about we make our move tonight?"

Li Zhixing nodded at this moment and said in a deep voice, "I have also done some research on Bai Chiming. I didn't know before, but after investigating, I found out that he has committed a lot of evil deeds."

"He is highly suspected of running casinos, lending money, violent debt collection, running nightclubs, coercing women, and multiple assault cases."

"I won't go into why no one took action against him before, but this time, if we're going to arrest him, we'll arrest him completely; if we're going to investigate, we'll investigate thoroughly. It's not just him, but also the protectors who provided him with assistance. They're all within the scope of our crackdown."

"I've read the report from Linchuan County. They're planning a special campaign to crack down on organized crime. I think we should use Bai Chiming's criminal gang as a starting point and launch a comprehensive crackdown across the entire Oasis City, eliminating those thugs who oppress the people and businesses, and restoring justice to the people!"

Li Zhixing has always wanted to work on the fight against organized crime. When he was working in other places, he never gave up on cracking down on criminal gangs, and he still does now that he is in Oasis.

For a region to develop, the sense of security among its people is very important.

Investors' sense of security is also very important.

If even the most basic sense of security cannot be provided, then forget about expecting investors to come and invest, increase employment, increase tax revenue, and increase people's income. Local people will also leave one after another, abandoning their homes and families.

This is not the outcome that a leader who truly cares about the people would want to see.

Ye Qingru looked at Li Zhixing and Li Feitu and said with a smile, "You are the city and county officials. How to develop the economy and how to provide safety and happiness for the people is your business, I won't ask you."

"But there's something I can tell you now."

"Bai Chiming, we can make our move tomorrow morning. Let him get some sleep tonight; this is the last time he'll be able to have a good night's rest."

"However, we need to set up surveillance around the hotel to prevent Bai Chiming from noticing anything or anything from happening."

"As for Ye Xinqi, he is a member of the Ye Group. There is not enough evidence, so you don't need to do anything. I will handle it."

"You don't need to worry about the investment. The Yip Group will invest."

Hearing this, Li Feitu and Chen Jingcheng were both stunned. Ye Qingru had just said that Ye Feng was a vindictive person who would rather suffer losses and pay money than lose face. This clearly meant that once the matter was done, the investment would definitely be wasted. How come now Ye Qingru said that the Ye Group would definitely invest?

Seeing the bewildered looks on Li Feitu and Chen Jingcheng's faces, Li Zhixing smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's normal that Feitu doesn't know your identity, but Jingcheng didn't say either, did he?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingru smiled and shook her head, saying, "I haven't had a chance yet. My identity isn't important; what's important is my relationship with my son."

After saying this, Ye Qingru chuckled and said, "The Ye Group comes from Yanjing, and so do I. Besides, my surname is Ye. Haven't you thought of anything yet?"

The words have already been spoken so bluntly. If Li Feitu and Chen Jingcheng still can't figure it out by now, then they would truly be idiots.

Li Feitu quickly asked, "Aunt Ye, are you from the Ye family of the Ye Group?"

Ye Qingru nodded and said softly, "I haven't been back to the Ye family for a long time, and I haven't paid attention to the Ye Group's affairs for a long time either."

"However, they also sent me a copy of their group's investment strategy. I read it, and the Ye Group is indeed preparing to invest heavily in Qingjiang Province. Oasis City is actually one of the key areas they are considering."

"Of course, other places are also under consideration for investment. Ye Xinqi really has a certain degree of decision-making power over where to invest and how much to invest."

"However, this child is too greedy. He has no ability in legitimate business, but he's quite good at thinking about crooked ways."

"So don't worry, the Ye Group will invest."

"A clean, sincere investment."

After saying all this, Ye Qingru looked at Chen Jingcheng, whose eyes were filled with complicated emotions, smiled and patted Chen Jingcheng's arm, saying, "Son, Mom knows what you're thinking. Mom won't talk to you about these things today, nor will she teach you right or wrong. I just want to tell you that Ye's Group does indeed have investment intentions, so just accept it."

"Leaders are all trying to build relationships, attract investment, ask for favors, and offer preferential policies. You really don't need to deliberately distance yourself from us or be afraid of bothering us."

"We're not fools. If Linchuan County really isn't suitable for investment and would definitely result in losses, then no one would invest heavily just because of personal connections, understand?"

That's what they say, but Chen Jingcheng understood perfectly well that Ye Qingru's actions today were ultimately for his sake.

If it weren't for his words, how would Ye Qingru have known about Bai Chiming?

If it weren't for his words, how could Ye Qingru be so familiar with their thoughts and the Ye Group's investments? She said she had read the Ye Group's investment strategy, but Ye Qingru herself said that she hadn't inquired about the Ye Group's affairs for a long time.

Now, it's as if we're getting back to this matter for his sake.

Having done so much quietly, what else can Chen Jingcheng say?

"thank you."

Aside from saying thank you, Chen Jingcheng didn't know what else to say.

Ye Qingru smiled and shook her head, saying, "No need to thank me, I really didn't do anything. In fact, I can't say for sure whether the Ye Group is actually going to invest 1 billion yuan in Linchuan County."

"But it's okay. I've already had my Qingcheng Group prepare a detailed feasibility report on the investment strategy. Maybe if they don't invest, I will."

"Of course, as I said before, Mom is a businesswoman, so if the strategic investment department's answer is that it's not suitable for investment, then Mom can't do a business that loses money."

"Then there's very little I can do to help you and Linchuan County. I can only donate some money to repair some roads and improve the problems you urgently need but don't have the money to solve right now."

Isn't that enough?

That's more than enough.

Moreover, both Chen Jingcheng and Li Feitu could tell that Ye Qingru said this on purpose so that they wouldn't feel any psychological burden.

After saying all this, seemingly not wanting to see Chen Jingcheng and Li Feitu thanking her back and forth, Ye Qingru sat back on the sofa and said with a smile, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"I originally wanted you to do things your way, but there was no way around it. The old man got anxious and called me."

"I have no choice but to ask you to resolve this most pressing matter in Linchuan County as soon as possible. Then, County Chief Feitu, I need to ask for a few days' leave for my son and take him back to Yanjing."

"It's not just because his adoptive mother is going to have surgery, but also because he should go see his grandfather."

Upon hearing that Old Chen was in a hurry to see Chen Jingcheng, Li Zhixing and Li Feitu's expressions both became solemn.

"Of course, Jingcheng has been away from you for twenty-three years. It's time for him to go home and see the old man."

"I imagine the old man will be very happy."

Ye Qingru smiled and nodded.

The old man was indeed very happy; at least, she hadn't heard his laughter so heartily in a long time.

"Zhixing, Feitu, the results of the investigation in Yanjing regarding the Sun family matter are out. I'm just letting you know in advance."

"The Qingjiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is preparing to transfer Sun Yikun's case to the judicial authorities. His uncle, Sun Lianqi, has also been expelled from the Party and transferred to the judicial authorities. Now it depends on how the court rules."

"The key is Deputy Secretary Wu."

"The way he was treated may disappoint you."
