Chapter 299 Working Through the Night
It took the bait.
The fish has taken the bait.
We can't rush things now.
Stay calm.
After hearing what he said, Xiao Yanfang became very emotional, looking at He Zhichao with teary eyes: "Brother Chao... this, won't this cause you trouble?"
They immediately changed their tune.
Upon hearing this, He Zhichao raised an eyebrow. It seemed that he had put on a good act and had truly won the woman's heart.
He immediately looked down on Zheng Zhiguo, thinking him to be low-class and lacking in intelligence.
How can you manipulate women using such low-level tactics as workplace sexual harassment?
Zheng Zhiguo is clearly someone in a position of power.
With the resources and power at his disposal, and with a little maneuvering, he could easily win over Xiao Yanfang.
Why risk harassment?
Can't figure it out.
"I'm sorry... Secretary Zhichao, I... I misspoke. I shouldn't have called you 'brother'..."
"No!" He Zhichao waved his hand: "Little sister, just call me brother."
Whenever I'm not at work, just call me brother.
Today, let's acknowledge this relationship.
I am your brother.
You are my god-sister.
"I'll protect you, brother."
Xiao Yanfang was moved to tears, covering her mouth to suppress her sobs, and slowly approached, as if seeking a hug.
He Zhichao was feeling quite pleased with himself. He looked around and, seeing that no one was around, he opened his arms and gave Xiao Yanfang a rather polite hug.
His arm was draped over her shoulder and back, not too close.
He Zhichao still wanted to play the gentleman, because being too hasty would make people look down on him, reveal his true intentions, and appear low-class.
Unbeknownst to him, this scene was captured on camera by someone in the distance.
Xiao Yanfang caught a glimpse of figures moving in the bushes in the distance. Knowing that her teammates had succeeded, she immediately took two steps back, wiped away her tears, and pretended to be very scared.
"Thank you, Brother Chao."
You have a family, I shouldn't have done this...
I'm so bad, I deserve to die.
Xiao Yanfang then slapped her own face with her hand.
He Zhichao grabbed her hand and said seriously, "What are you saying, little sister?"
You're my god-sister now, and I'll never let you suffer in the future.
Go home early today and get a good night's sleep.
"Wait until tomorrow, and you'll see how I deal with Zheng Zhiguo."
Seeing He Zhichao gritting his teeth, Xiao Yanfang smiled inwardly, but her face remained touched: "Brother...you're so good to me, but I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well tonight."
"What?"
She took out her phone and flashed it in front of He Zhichao; it showed several missed calls.
"Look... how many phone calls Zheng Zhiguo made."
If I don't go to his house tonight, he'll keep calling. I don't dare turn off my phone; I have to follow the rules.
I'm afraid that when I get home, my husband will see this and start overthinking things.
Brother Chao, I'm not going back. I'll just sit here until dawn.
I'll go home after you contact Yao Zhan of the County Discipline Inspection Commission tomorrow.
I'm waiting for you.
If you can't save me either, then... I'll have no choice but to resign.
She started crying again as she spoke.
There's a lot to learn here.
This matter must be handled tonight.
He Zhichao was about to make a phone call on the spot.
If we wait until tomorrow, there might be problems.
If He Zhichao goes back to sleep or discusses it with someone, he might discover loopholes and problems.
Because Zheng Zhiguo is not that kind of person. Of course he is also lustful, but he has always been innocent with his female subordinates.
He Zhichao only needs to make a few phone calls to find out many loopholes here.
Therefore, we need to force him to call now and file a formal complaint against Zheng Zhiguo.
"That's outrageous!"
I'll make the call right now.
"Just sit here and relax, I'll handle this."
Xiao Yanfang sat back down on the stone bench.
He Zhichao took out a cigarette and lit it, then took out his phone and walked to the railing. With his back to Xiao Yanfang, he spoke in a heavy voice.
"Hello, is this Lao Yao?"
Yao Zhan was already in bed, reading the newspaper and cuddling his wife, and was a little unhappy about being disturbed.
"Hello, Secretary Zhichao, what are your instructions so late?"
"I have something urgent to tell you..."
He Zhichao explained the situation and then asked Yao Zhan to take Zheng Zhiguo away for investigation overnight.
"Is there any evidence?"
Without concrete evidence, it's not appropriate to investigate someone casually.
There have been similar situations before, and after a long investigation, it turned out to be a false alarm.
He Zhichao was somewhat displeased: "Old Yao, you don't believe me?"
Do you think I, the First Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Yuanshan County, would joke around with you?
Is this something to joke about?
The woman was right in front of me.
Just now, Zheng Zhiguo kept calling her, asking her to come to his house.
What is this if not harassment?
Just bring your own people.
If you're afraid and want to protect her, then I'll have no choice but to call Li Zhonghou of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.
He Zhichao has begun to checkmate.
Left with no other choice, Yao Zhan had to get out of bed, call his men, and work on the case overnight.
It takes about an hour.
Yao Zhan led his men to the vicinity of the greenway where He Zhichao and Xiao Yanfang were sitting.
I'm going to verify the situation with Xiao Yanfang and see if she has any evidence.
At that moment, Dawei and Wu Maocai happened to be taking a walk and passed by. When they saw Yao Zhan and others running errands, Dawei and Wu Maocai stood at a distance and did not go over.
When He Zhichao saw Yao Zhan arrive, he told Xiao Yanfang to sit down and not to be afraid, while he went over and chattered on and on with Yao Zhan.
Yao Zhan said impatiently, "Secretary Zhichao, we'd like to have a talk with Comrade Yanfang."
"Oh..." He Zhichao then realized he had gone a bit too far: "Well, then you guys chat."
Yao Zhan looked at Xiao Yanfang seriously: "Comrade Yanfang, Secretary Zhichao just said that someone sexually harassed you. Is that true?"
"Yes..." Xiao Yanfang said in a very soft voice.
"Is that Zheng Zhiguo, a leader from your county's Public Security Bureau?"
Xiao Yanfang glanced at He Zhichao fearfully, but dared not speak.
He Zhichao, who was not far away, encouraged her: "Girl, don't be afraid, just say what it is."
The leaders of the county discipline inspection commission are all here, what are you worried about?
No matter who is involved, the county discipline inspection commission will handle the matter impartially.
At this moment, all he could think about was how to get Yao Zhan on the stage.
Yao Zhan waved his hand, and his two men used their hands to separate He Zhichao, signaling He Zhichao not to interfere with Yao Zhan's questioning.
Yao Zhan asked again seriously, "Comrade Yanfang, please tell me clearly who sexually harassed you."
Xiao Yanfang raised her hand slightly, trembling, her voice filled with obvious fear: "Yes, yes..."
Xiao Yanfang's finger pointed clearly at He Zhichao.
