CHAPTER 340: 340. UNFORTUNATE: BEATEN AND PUNISHED

Jiangg Yun was horrified: The way this question was asked is practically putting the murder charge directly on her head!

She thought Lianshan, being so vile as to hit a woman, was bad enough. But the moment Liu Shuzhen opened her mouth after remaining silent for a long time, it was truly lethal!

This accusation was something she absolutely could not admit to; otherwise, not only was her beloved job at risk, it was uncertain if she could escape this calamity unscathed.

After all, in the past few years of family planning work, there were indeed more than one or two who did not survive the operating table.

If even a trace of Liu Shuzhen’s word leaked out...

Wouldn’t those people, who’ve lost their wives and children and are brimming with resentment, tear her apart?

Jiangg Yun broke out in a cold sweat, glaring resentfully at the two experts who came with her but were now siding with Liu Shuzhen: "No, I, I never said that! You can’t just make things up and slander!"

Initially, these two experts were also quite displeased with Shuzhen, feeling coerced into jumping into the water without a word of warning.

The desire to curry favor was genuine, reminding Shuzhen to be cautious and subtly disparaging Jiangg Yun was not false either.

But all these were supposed to be done discreetly, not overtly!

After all, there were neither old grudges nor new hatred among everyone, and no one was willing to invite a deadly enemy for someone else’s problem unless absolutely necessary.

But sometimes you don’t seek trouble; trouble seeks you!

Jiangg Yun shouted, and it left them no room for maneuver.

To avoid Lianshan’s angry fists swinging at them, they had to quickly confess fully and recount how things unfolded.

Shuzhen smiled at the situation, a triumph arching the corner of her mouth.

Heh, using every trick in the book to ensure zero excess births, huh?

Today, I’ll let you know what it’s like to shoot yourself in the foot!

With such vicious intentions, getting beaten is nothing. Dare to be relentless?

My sister-in-law’s husband is wise. Now with both evidence and witnesses in hand, how this matter is concluded is no longer up to you!

Filled with resentment, but fearing that Jiangg Yun would use her position to rise again after her relative stepped down in a few years and trouble them later, the two decided to go all out, adding fuel and vinegar to the situation.

They vividly painted Jiangg Yun, who was willing to do whatever it took for family planning work, into someone who disregarded the lives of excess birth individuals for personal political achievements, cold-blooded to the point of being murderous.

Suffered a severe beating and didn’t get any fairness, instead got blamed for it.

Jiangg Yun felt her frustration flipping her emotions inside out, while the Lianshan couple, and the Liu and Lian families all suddenly changed their attitudes.

It turned out, she couldn’t just end the matter, take some suffering, and endure the beating without any recourse.

"What-do-you-still-want?" Jiangg Yun asked stammeringly, suppressing the surge of anger in her heart.

"Heh, Director Jiangg, the way you ask the question. What do I want? What can I possibly want? Having narrowly escaped the jaws of death, I merely want to advocate for the many sisters who have faced the same ordeal as me. Having fewer heartless individuals like Director Jiangg in our Republic would reduce many tragedies of couples parting and mothers losing their children!" Shuzhen sneered coldly, her gaze at Jiangg Yun full of mockery.

"Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying! People-oriented. People, after all, are the fundamental core of societal and economic development. Director Jiangg, your actions, blindly pursuing so-called zero excess birth rates while ignoring the bodies and even lives of pregnant women, are simply turning things upside down!" Wu Yinghong chimed in, strongly supporting her sister-in-law.

"I..."

"You what! You! Just know to carry the flag of national policy, emphasizing zero excess birth rates.

Don’t you know family planning is policy, not law?

No matter if it’s intentional or accidental, really having excess birth only leads to dismissal and fines.

Yet you blindly emphasize ensuring zero excess births, ignoring my sister-in-law’s physical condition, secretly instructing the two experts.

You’ve really got to be thankful my sister-in-law has good character and the two experts have high medical ethics.

Or else, if anything happened, you’d definitely be guilty of premeditated murder!" Lian Yue, with her explosive temper, gave Jiangg Yun a sharp eye roll, her small mouth firing off words like bullets.

Already seriously injured, then experiencing such a reversal, with evidence falling into the opponent’s hands, and the two experts assigned to accompany her also joining the opponent’s camp...

Jiangg Yun felt bitter inside, utterly besieged, fearing not only suffering the beating but also losing the position she worked so hard to achieve.

However, reality was far more tragic than she imagined.

The so-called fake experts, true relatives of her direct superior, returned to the provincial capital hastily, and their first task was to vehemently charge Jiangg Yun.

Including her attempts to turn big issues into small ones and small ones into none, trying to get them to describe Liu Shuzhen’s situation lightly enough to fit the standards for abortion or induction to facilitate coercion.

Despite having a rather pleasing-looking mouth, she couldn’t speak sensibly, angered Lianshan and the experts immensely, causing them to throw punches without considering gender differences.

Not feeling ashamed from the beating, Jiangg Yun even tried to push the blame on the sisters and others they knew, trying anything to taint the distant relatives’ view of her.

Indeed, they thoroughly exposed Jiangg Yun to trouble.

Listening to their recount, Director Wang felt immensely relieved!

Thank goodness he decisively sent his own people; otherwise, Jiangg Yun’s audacity would have succeeded...

The situation was so severe it might not end well, potentially implicating him as Jiangg Yun’s direct leader, drawing unwanted trouble.

Losing Liu Shuzhen would definitely mean Lianshan, deeply in love with her, would be unable to work properly for a long time.

This, this was virtually a profound loss for the Republic in terms of elite breeding and improvement!

Ahem, thank goodness he’s wise.

After praising his foresight for the one-thousand-and-first time, Director Wang even more seriously considered Jiangg Yun, whom he initially appreciated greatly and planned to nurture as his successor after retirement, as being overly harsh and biased.

Although such tactics significantly contributed to the advancement of family planning work.

Yet, they were likely to lead to unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifices!

Fortunately, the dispatched investigation teams all stated that Jiangg Yun had never done anything similar in the past.

This was undeniably the first time, without creating the expected severe consequences.

Given her prior outstanding performance, the decision was to issue a warning and demote her, transferring her position.

Dropping from the city-level family planning office director to the county-level wasn’t scary; scary was the particularly wild place she was transferred to.
