Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1169 - 697: The Outcome

Luo Ye jogged to the office of Team Five, and after knocking, Xiang Mingliang’s sincere voice came out: "Come in!"

"Captain Xiang, today is Sunday, how come you haven’t gone back... Director Lei, you’re here too?"

Lei Dawei, dressed in a dark gray casual suit, was sitting upright on the sofa, smiling as he looked up and down at Luo Ye.

Xiang Mingliang stood up and smiled politely: "Commander Lei, then... I’ll head out first." He addressed Lei Dawei by his highest title.

"Alright, go ahead." Lei Dawei nodded with a smile.

As Xiang Mingliang walked out, he gestured to the thermos flask beside the table to Luo Ye: "The hot water was just fetched."

"Got it." Luo Ye responded as she escorted him to the door. When she turned back, Lei Dawei was looking at her with admiration: "Not bad, you have principles, Ye Xuan indeed has good judgment."

"Uh..." Luo Ye looked at him speechlessly, "In your eyes, is there room for anyone else?"

"Little girl, jealous?" Lei Dawei chuckled and pointed to the seat beside him, "Sit down, let’s chat slowly."

Given Lei Dawei’s position, Luo Ye would not be too presumptuous. She obediently sat down, poured tea for him, and then said, "Director Lei must be here for the Hang Family’s matter, right? Old Man Hang has complained about me." The last sentence was stated as a certainty.

"Little girl, quite smart, aren’t you?" Lei Dawei took a sip from the teacup and praised, "This tea is really good, with its refreshing jasmine scent, it’s new tea."

Luo Ye didn’t bite on Lei Dawei’s off-topic line like "The weather is great today," and continued with the main subject: "You came in such a hurry, and even wearing plain clothes, what does it mean?"

"Luo Ye..." Lei Dawei put down the tea, his expression turning serious, "The task of eliminating Forest Wolf was completed very well, theoretically, you should be credited with great merit.

But, I discussed with Old Xia, we can only rate you as having completed the task satisfactorily. You’re a smart kid, some things don’t need me to explain for you to understand, right?"

"What are the terms for exchange?" Luo Ye’s expression slightly dimmed.

"There’s no exchange. Hang Menglin’s sacrifice for the public is a fact, Hang Yanzhao being deceived and misled is also a fact, besides, don’t you think the matter of Hang Yanzhao being deceived is quite odd?"

Luo Ye curled her lip: "He’s foolish and got tricked, what’s odd about that?"

"Haha..." Lei Dawei pointed at her, "You kid, showing no mercy with your words?"

"It’s not about showing no mercy, I think everyone must be responsible for their actions. Hang Menglin certainly did contribute, the leaders feel my performance in this task can only be considered satisfactory, that’s fair, but Hang Yanzhao committed a crime, and that can’t be denied."

"Ye’er, we..." Lei Dawei’s eyes flashed with bitterness, "sometimes, we must consider everything before making decisions."

He was able to personally come to Sha City because he too was dissatisfied with the handling decision, however, looking at the bigger picture, he had to choose compliance.

If it weren’t important, he wouldn’t be sitting here today, he would just have his subordinates convey the case’s handling result to her, why bother to visit her?

Luo Ye understood all this, therefore, she didn’t continue to trouble Lei Dawei: "Director Lei, please tell me the final decision."

"Hang Menglin is posthumously recognized as a martyr, the national police system will initiate learning from Hang Menglin activities, Hang Yanzhao is expelled from the party, sentenced to three years, suspended for two years, fined ten million, not publicly disclosed."

"Understood." Luo Ye nodded, "I have nothing to say." The deceased is significant, her merits can only complement Hang Menglin; nobody envies a departed martyr, and this is an era that needs martyrs...

"The Hang Family made significant sacrifices for the establishment of New China. Although the current Hang Family is not as the past, it’s still a forerunner in political and economic realms. Such a family, if it can’t fall, it’s best not to let it fall." Lei Dawei himself found his words lacking in persuasion.

Luo Ye looked at Lei Dawei questioningly: "During the siege of Forest Wolf, did Mr. Hang have involvement? Can that be overlooked too?"

Lei Dawei smiled bitterly: "At this age, it’s inevitable to get muddled up, he was also worried that the Hang Family might decline, it is understandable."

Luo Ye nodded: "Right! Right! When people get old, they can muddle up as they please without needing to bear legal responsibility, I have many elderly family members, now I’m relieved."

"Little Luoye..." Lei Dawei looked at Luo Ye with a helpless laugh, unsure what to say.

"Director Lei came to see me, probably worried I’d make a fuss after knowing the result, right? Rest assured, I won’t, I only ask for equal treatment. Oh, the case of Ouyang Zijing, is it completely concluded?" Since Ouyang Zijing’s case entered judicial proceedings, she was in Xiangshan City, thus she’s not very clear about the case’s progress.
