Chapter 1142 Han Dong-Min''s Fate
"Old Master Lu, you''ve misunderstood my words. That''s not what I meant at all," said Han Dong-Min
anxiously when he heard what Lu Cang-Qiong had just said. Fear had his heart racing a mile a second.
He did not really know the extent of Lu Cang-Qiong''s influence. But this was a man whom He Lan-
Shan had personally weed when he had arrived at Yunzhou. It was clear that he wasn''t someone
whom Han Dong-Min could trifle with.
"Is that so? What do you mean then?"
Lu Cang-Qiong had reached the limits of his patience.
He could tell that Han Dong-Min seemed intent on speaking up for Ye Fan and helping the young man.
He had no intentions of helping the Lu family with their revenge.
A dark look appeared on his face. He turned towards He Lan-Shan and thundered furiously. "Lan-Shan,
is this the way the Jiangdong provincial government works? Is this the way you train your men? You
seem to have lost your way. Instead of exacting justice for the people of Yunzhou, your men are now
speaking up for ruffians and gangsters."
"How do you expect the folks of Yunzhou to sleep at night? Can the Jiangdong provincial government
rest easy at night? Can our great country rest easy at night? If we don''t get rid of these bad apples, the
entire barrel will soon be filled with rotten apples. There will be chaos in Yunzhou!”
His harsh words were filled with judgment and disapproval.
He Lan-Shan was humiliated by the reprimand.
He flushed and began to apologize profusely.
"Please don''t be upset, Old Master Lu. I''ll make sure this matter is dealt with. You''ll have a satisfactory
answer." Having said that, he turned and red at Han Dong-Min furiously. "Han Dong-Min, I''m going
to ask you onest time. Are you going to make the arrest or not?"
"Secretary He, you''re putting me in a terrible spot. This is above my paygrade,"mented Han Dong-
Min. He was stuck between He Lan-Shan and Ye Fan, a rock and a hard ce.
"I see what''s going on here. You''re going to disobey my direct orders," said He Lan-Shan furiously.
"You''ve failed in your duty as a government official and in your obligation as a member of ourw-
abiding society. Your disobedience of my direct orders is an explicit show of insubordination. You have

no regard for thew, for your leaders and for your organization. You have neither principles nor morals
that you uphold. You defied your superiors and aligned yourself with criminals and ruffians. As the head
of the Jiangdong provincial government, I strip you of your authority and office in Yunzhou. You shall
never be promoted or given another office."
He Lan-Shan was truly livid.
He had felt embarrassed by the farce that was happening in Jiangdong and causing him so much grief.
Lu''s presence had made things worse.
Han Dong-Min''s open and public insubordination had added insult to injury. There was no way He Lan-
Shan could have kept his temper under control in such a circumstance.
In a fit of anger, he had stripped Han Dong-Min of his title and office.
He was to be sent away to the impoverished and remote countryside to live amongst the poor vigers.
With a few words, he had destroyed Han Dong-Min''s future.
All blood drained from Han Dong-Min''s face. He shook violently and nearly copsed onto the ground.
Devastation and despair filled his eyes.
Like Ye Fan, he had been born in a rural vige and hade from a family of
farmers.
His parents had scrimped and saved so that he could get a college education and get a job in the
government.
He had toiled andbored over the years and risen from the position of a lowly clerk to where he was
today.
His achievements had been hard earned.
Han Dong-Min had never taken them for granted.
He was a relentless and disciplined worker who put himself at the frontline every day, working hard for
the benefit of his people and the country.
Throughout the years, he had initiated many projects that had helped themunity. Bringing joy and
happiness to the hardworking peasants of their country had been his lifelong ambition.
His achievements had been plentiful and his efforts repeatedly recognized.
He had a brighter and better future than Wu Wei-Tao.
He had never let his people down and he had never failed in his duties as a government official.
Han Dong-Min could not have foreseen that the career that he had fought so hard for his whole life
would be ruined in a single day.
It didn''t matter what he had done and how much love and respect he had earned from the people.
None of that mattered in the face of a few words of rebuke from Lu Cang-Qiong and Wu Wei-Tao''s
malicious sabotage.
This was the greatest irony of his life.
His ambitions and his career hade to an end.
Han Dong-Min stood like an idiot, with his utter despair clear on his face. All life seemed to have
drained from his body.
Han Dong-Min, you''re not my match with ites to politics," thought Wu Wei-Tao gleefully as a smug
smile tugged at his lips. He was the one who had the most to gain from Han Dong-Min''s downfall.
Han Dong-Min had been his greatest rival andpetitor in Yunzhou.
The vice mayor had the love of the people in Yunzhou and enjoyed greater respect than Wu Wei-Tao
did.
Han Dong-Min was also morepetent than Wu Wei-Tao.
The mayor had been worried that he might be reced by Han Dong-Min one of these days.
His fears had been realized when Han Dong-Min had taken over all his duties after he had been
temporarily stripped of his office.
He Lan-Shan''s expulsion of Han Dong-Min from thetter''s office had rid Wu Wei-Tao of his greatest
worry. Reаd at NovelDrama.Org
The mayor issued an order immediately and summoned every unit in the police force. Almost a
thousand men gathered at Haiyuan Restaurant and surrounded Ye Fan.
Chaos descended upon Yunzhou once again.
The sirens of hundreds of police vehicles red loudly as these cars sped down the streets and
flooded the roads around Haiyuan Restaurant.
"Mr Chu, what should we do next? The government ising after us now!" Li Er and the rest paled in
terror at the sight before them.
