"The mayor of Hengshan Town is my good-for-nothing nephew," the Land Bureau leader quickly said.
"What?!" Tang Yumeng was startled and frowned, saying, "So you're here to plead for them?"
"I..." The Land Bureau leader looked embarrassed and very awkward.
The Education Bureau chief hurriedly spoke, "Secretary Tang, it's indeed our fault for not educating them well, for not guiding them properly. They're still young, and if they're punished this time, it might be difficult for them to get promoted in the future. So, we hope Secretary Tang can give them a break for our sake. What do you think?"
"Hmph!" Tang Yumeng snorted coldly, then said, "I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter."
"Secretary Tang, you can't just watch and do nothing," the Land Bureau leader said awkwardly. "I only have one nephew, and if he goes to jail, my older brother and sister-in-law will surely resent me to death. So, Secretary Tang, please, you must help."
