Back at the police station, in his own office, Ye Fan contemplated other solutions.
Exposing the issue to the media, cutting himself off from the officialdom of Mingde County, really seemed a bit extreme.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly remembered someone.
Xue Lingyu, the Director of Publicity of the county, a deputy division level ranking, and one of the Committee Members.
She was the biggest backer he could think of in Mingde County.
Although Ye Fan had only met Xue Lingyu once, she had been quite friendly toward him during that meeting. Perhaps it was worth a try. She might be able to help.
Operating on the principle that a dying horse should be treated as though alive, Ye Fan immediately took out his cellphone, found Xue Lingyu's number, and dialed it.
Soon, the call connected, and Xue Lingyu's pleasant voice came through, "Little Ye?"
"Hehe, Sister Xue, hello," Ye Fan chuckled.
