The forest area of Qingfeng Ridge was leased by Tan Xiao a long ti ago.
According to the contract, the lease period for this forest area is twenty years, with a priority to renew after twenty years. Therefore, in legal terms, Tan Xiao has signed a contract with the local village collective and completed notarization.
However.
Zhou Tong, who set his eyes on this mountain, is not an ordinary character.
The current County Party Secretary of Changming County, Zhang Hegeng, is his uncle.
Moreover.
Zhou Tong's father, Zhou Zhengyang, is also the Director of the Agriculture Bureau of Wen'an City.
With these two connections,
it doesn't seem very difficult for him to take over Qingfeng Ridge.
A month ago,
the Changming County Party issued a docunt regarding the special rectification work implentation plan for dismantling unlawful tombs and constructing hardened tombs.
In this docunt,
Qingfeng Ridge was marked as a key rectification area.
It's important to note,
there is only one grave on the entire Qingfeng Ridge, which is the joint tomb of Tan Yandong and Feng Wenya, clearly targeting this piece of forest.
Upon receiving this docunt,
Tan Xiao imdiately approached the relevant authorities for negotiation.
At the ti when she leased this forest, she also filed with the civil affairs departnt of the then-county governnt, and the civil affairs departnt did not oppose her building the tomb.
In other words,
Tan Yandong's grave was approved by the governnt.
But the result of the negotiation was not satisfactory, to put it plainly, the current civil affairs bureau also couldn't do anything, and the dismantling of Tan Yandong's grave was imperative.
Since such a trend is inevitable,
Tan Xiao also had to comply.
So, half a month ago,
she bought a plot in Zuo Family Mountain Public Cetery in Changming County and moved Tan Yandong and Feng Wenya's ashes there, as a response to the governnt's call.
Thinking that with this, the trouble would be resolved.
But who could have anticipated, from the beginning, Zhou Tong's aim was the mountain plot, not the grave.
He rallied a group of idle social figures, barged into Tan Xiao's Gao Ling Group to make trouble, blocked the gates with large construction machines, and leveraged his connection with Zhang Hegeng to cut off water and electricity supplies to Gao Ling Group. The motive was simple: to force Tan Xiao to surrender Qingfeng Ridge unconditionally to Zhou Tong.
If negotiated properly,
Tan Xiao might have agreed.
But doing so made Tan Xiao very repulsive.
She made it clear to Zhou Tong that under any condition, Qingfeng Ridge would remain under her ownership, and she would never relinquish it, thoroughly angering Zhou Tong.
Last night,
he gathered a few people, went directly to Tan Yandong's grave, dug it up, sprayed paint on the tombstone, and even threatened Tan Xiao, claiming that as long as she doesn't give up Qingfeng Ridge, Tan Yandong will never have peace, no matter where his grave is moved, Zhou Tong will persist relentlessly.
Having no other choice,
Tan Xiao could only call Chen Fang.
After hearing the whole incident,
Chen Fang's veins were already bulging.
For Chen Fang,
Tan Yandong held a very significant place in his life,
in so way, even more so than his biological parents.
Moreover, such an act of grave desecration is an outrage against both law and justice, he took a deep breath and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't cry, I'll book the first flight back right now, and we'll talk after we et."
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"
Tan Xiao asked guiltily.
Chen Fang shook his head and said, "No problem, matters concerning Uncle Tan are more important than anything to , just wait, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the call,
Chen Fang imdiately gave an order to Lin Youyu.
To arrange the earliest flight back to Rongjiang City.
At 2 PM,
Chen Fang landed at Rongjiang City International Airport.
Around 4 PM,
he took a business car arranged in advance by Zhong Xiqian and rushed to Changming County.
Having not returned for years.
Changming County had indeed changed dramatically.
Tall buildings lined up, endless streams of people, even the urban greenery had been upgraded to a new level.
Sitting in the car, Chen Fang,
looking at these scenes that were both unfamiliar and familiar, felt indescribable emotions.
"Secretary Chen, do we need to go to the County Party first?"
Lin Youyu, in the passenger seat, turned and asked.
Chen Fang was about to answer.
When his phone suddenly rang.
Pulling it out of his pocket, he saw it was another call from Tan Xiao.
"Xiaoxiao, I am…"
Chen Fang had just said a few words when Tan Xiao cried on the phone: "Brother Fang, have you arrived? That bastard Zhou Tong took my dad's urn away, and he said if I don't agree, he'll scatter my dad's ashes. What… what should I do?"
"Where are you now?"
Chen Fang asked with a stern tone.
"I… I am at Zuo Family Mountain Public Cetery, they… they have surrounded here…"
Tan Xiao's voice carried a hint of fear.
Chen Fang took a long breath and comforted her, "Alright, wait there for , I'll be there in half an hour."
After hanging up the phone,
Chen Fang's brows furrowed.
Before arriving, he had thought of resolving this matter peacefully, but now, his mind had changed, Zhou Tong, this bastard, even dared to threaten to scatter Tan Yandong's ashes, that's equivalent to rubbing Chen Fang's face on the ground!
"Zhou Jingyan? This is Chen Fang!"
Picking up the phone,
Chen Fang dialed the Yong'an Provincial Committee Secretary Zhou Jingyan's number.
Seeing it was a call from Chen Fang, Zhou Jingyan naturally responded politely, "Secretary Chen, what brings you to call out of the blue?"
"Don't say anything, don't ask anything, I'm in Changming County, Wen'an City, I want you to be here within two hours. You know my temper; don't bla if I turn your turf upside down and didn't give you a heads-up."
After saying this, Chen Fang hung up the phone.
While receiving the call,
Zhou Jingyan was holding a secretary's office eting.
Seeing her expression darken, the provincial governor Liu Chunfu asked, "Secretary Zhou, what happened, why does your expression look off?"
Zhou Jingyan stood up imdiately and said, "The eting is canceled, arrange cars now, we're imdiately heading to Changming County."
"Going to Changming County? What on earth happened?"
Liu Chunfu asked in a panic.
Zhou Jingyan waved her hand and said, "There's no ti to explain, we'll talk on the way, everyone cos, whatever happens today, we must set it aside first."
Inside the Yong'an Provincial Committee Mansion.
An unusual scene unfolded.
The Provincial Committee cars numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, drove out from the parking lot one by one.
To ensure Zhou Jingyan's imdiate arrival at Changming County, the Political and Legal Committee Secretary directly ordered the traffic police departnt that all intersections the motorcade passes must be greenlights all the way, and the highway entrance to Changming County must be under a two-hour control, with the intent to ensure the motorcade's speed on the highway.
