Chapter 113 A Shocking Case! My Chance for Advancement Has Arrived!
Early in the morning.
The constantly vibrating phone woke Chen Yang up.
She started catching up on sleep in the afternoon, and was about to wake up late at night anyway.
I groggily reached for my phone and answered it without even looking at the caller ID.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Section Chief Chen, this is Director Kong. I'm sorry to call you at this hour, but it's really an extremely urgent matter."
Chen Yang suddenly stood up.
"What's wrong? What happened? Did our investigation of Huilong Group cause us a huge problem?"
She certainly knew that unless it was something particularly important.
It's impossible for Director Kong, who is nearing retirement, to call late at night.
A sudden phone call like this must be extremely urgent.
"It's not Cha Huilong Group that's causing trouble, it's Fan Jian who's in trouble."
"What happened to him? Did he sneak out to solicit prostitutes and get caught?"
"Ah? How do you know?"
"Oh my god, could I have guessed right?"
Chen Yang was overjoyed.
She was naturally happiest when Fan Jian got into trouble.
After being dismissed from public office, I was no longer afraid of being targeted by him.
She was not afraid that he would use his position to try to take advantage of her.
As for why this answer was given.
Chen Yang had long suspected that Fan Jian was not a good person.
He often stares at me with a lecherous look.
When people delivered documents or materials to him, he would often take the opportunity to grope them.
It's perfectly normal for a scumbag like that to be unable to stand the loneliness when he's on a business trip to another city.
"You only guessed one thing right; he was indeed caught red-handed for soliciting prostitutes."
"But he not only spat at law enforcement officers, he also tried to bribe them with a large sum of money."
"During interrogation, he voluntarily confessed to many more crimes of embezzlement and bribery."
Chen Yang was somewhat bewildered.
I thought my guess was absurd enough.
She was completely baffled by Fan Jian's series of mysterious actions after he was caught soliciting prostitution.
He couldn't help but think to himself.
That old scoundrel who can't even control his lower body, what a coward!
It was just a case of being caught soliciting prostitution, yet it's caused such a fuss.
And why, after spitting on the police officer and committing such an insult, did he then try to bribe him with a large sum of money?
He probably wouldn't have done something so brain-dead without suffering a stroke for at least ten years.
"How is he now? Has he been arrested and placed under investigation by the Jingzhou police?"
On the other end of the phone, Director Kong sighed.
"Yes, the Jingzhou police have placed him under criminal detention in accordance with the law and launched a further investigation."
"Furthermore, after the case was reported to the Handong Provincial Department, it was reported to the Public Security Bureau overnight, which then alarmed President Zhou."
"President Zhou was furious and issued instructions overnight, demanding that our Financial Regulatory Bureau immediately suspend Fan Jian from his post and promptly send personnel to Jingzhou to closely cooperate with the police investigation. Once verified, he will be severely punished!"
Upon hearing these words, Chen Yang wanted nothing more than to shout his approval.
Fan Jian, that old scoundrel, should have been taught a lesson long ago.
Thinking they had powerful backers, they acted recklessly.
Look at Director Kong.
Upon hearing that they were coming to Handong to investigate Huilong Group on the weekend, he immediately said he wasn't feeling well and asked for leave to see a doctor.
Fan Jian, eager to make a name for himself and particularly keen to curry favor with Zhong Zhengguo, was incredibly proactive.
Not only did they readily accept the task, but they also quickly mobilized personnel and arranged train tickets.
They came to Handong to investigate Huilong Group with such enthusiasm.
This guy is in such a hurry to be reborn.
Completely unaware that once they arrived in Handong, anyone daring to mess with the Zhao family would have to be careful even when going out.
He actually let his lust get the better of him and went to a brothel...
How could the Zhao family not take this opportunity to kill you?
Besides, it was you, Fan Jian, who willingly offered yourself up for death.
They couldn't touch Zhong Zhengguo, who was far away in Yanjing.
What's the big deal about killing a lackey like you?
This explains why Handong was so quick to report Fan Jian's incident.
There was absolutely no intention to downplay the issue or dismiss it.
They reported it to Yanjing overnight, as if they wanted to tear the sky apart!
However, not having Fan Jian appear on television news was both a gesture of respect to the foreign exchange regulatory authorities and a way of keeping things under control.
If the bureau continues to protect its own, or if Zhong Zhengguo still tries to protect Fan Jian.
Then their Handong Province will definitely report it extensively.
Let the whole country know.
This will not only ruin Fan Jian's reputation, but also make him infamous.
It also made everyone aware that Huilong Group, a foreign-invested enterprise operating legally and compliantly, was inexplicably investigated.
So who is damaging the business environment and affecting foreign investment?
Who is hindering Handong Province from attracting investment and developing a high-quality economy?
A huge accusation, ready to be slapped on at any moment.
It's really going to cause a public outcry.
That's not as simple as just Fan Jian going in alone.
Even President Zhou might be summoned for questioning and held accountable.
Overjoyed, Chen Yang hurriedly asked:
"Director Kong, are you also flying to Jingzhou tomorrow?"
"Didn't I tell you over the weekend that I wasn't feeling well? That's why I won't be coming to Jingzhou for the time being. I'm calling you to say that since Huilong Group is legal and compliant and has no problems, please end the investigation as soon as possible!"
"Okay, I'll notify the other colleagues right away, and then I'll buy a ticket and rush back tomorrow."
"You don't need to notify them or rush back. Director Shen will bring people to Jingzhou on the earliest flight to cooperate with the police in thoroughly investigating the series of issues confessed by Fan Jian. You can stay at the guesthouse for now and be ready to cooperate with the investigation at any time."
"Uh... okay, sure!"
Chen Yang was secretly overjoyed.
Her younger brother, Chen Hai, works in the anti-corruption field.
Her father, Chen Yanshi, whom she called an old stubborn man, had worked in the political and legal field for many years.
Having grown up in such a family for many years, one naturally knows that corruption cannot be the work of just one person.
After all, if someone wants to offer a bribe, someone has to act as a go-between.
If you take money, you have to do things for people, and someone has to handle those things.
Therefore, when they arrest someone, they often find a whole group of people who are colluding with each other.
Fan Jian, that stupid and cowardly old rogue.
Clearly, he couldn't withstand the torture and, in order to save himself, confessed to all the bad things he had done.
His confession naturally revealed a lot of shocking information, which will inevitably implicate many people.
So I never take anything, never engage in corruption or collusion.
Now, if a storm really comes, many people will get caught up in it.
I have a good chance of getting promoted and becoming a full section chief.
Besides, when Director Kong first got through on the phone, didn't he call for Section Chief Chen?
After a while.
Chen Yang put down his phone, grinning from ear to ear.
"Fan Jian, Fan Jian, even though you give me gifts, I don't like any of them."
"But this crazy thing you did has really made me so happy!"
She rolled out of bed and drew back the curtains.
Looking at Jingzhou under the dim yellow night sky, where the streetlights were still bright.
Chen Yang thought the night view was getting more and more beautiful the more he looked at it.
Having such a huge, shocking news bottled up inside was really hard to bear.
and so……
Chen Yang couldn't wait to call his younger brother, Chen Hai.
"Why are you calling now? I estimated you would call me around 10 p.m.
Chen Yang was somewhat puzzled by his younger brother's words.
"What did you say?"
Chen Hai didn't keep anyone in suspense.
“I know you’ve come to Jingzhou, I know you’ve come to investigate Huilong Group, and I know even more that your Director Fan has gotten himself into serious trouble.”
"I thought you would share it with me right away, but I didn't expect you to call so late at night! It's so late!"
Chen Yang responded with an "oh".
"So you knew all along!"
“I was sleeping when Director Kong called me and that’s when I found out he was in trouble.”
"But I also have something on my side that you don't know about. Since you love to make predictions, why don't you just guess!"
Chen Hai said with a smile:
"What's there to guess?"
"It's nothing more than a global upheaval, and suspension from duty pending investigation."
"One bad apple spoils the whole bunch and affects many people."
Chen Yang smiled, unable to hide his joy: "Not only that, Jingzhou reported to Handong, and Handong reported to the General Affairs Department, which directly angered President Zhou, who issued instructions overnight to investigate and punish severely. Director Kong has already ordered me to stop investigating Huilong Group."
Chen Hai was extremely surprised.
Wow! That's really impressive!
"A case involving prostitution and corruption has actually reached the General Affairs Department!"
"Our Handong is really tough; that slap was really loud!"
Chen Yang drew the curtains and went back to bed.
"They've even found out about Zhao Shuji's precious son and daughter. How can they not be slapped in the face?"
"If this happened in ancient times, they would probably have executed the crime first and reported it later!"
Chen Hai, on the other end of the phone, couldn't help but chuckle.
Many people think that the older sister is beautiful, kind-hearted, and gentle.
Only he knew that even the beautiful woman had a temper.
"Your analogy is quite apt!"
"Zhao Shuji was tasked with developing a pilot program for high-quality economic development."
"In ancient times, he would not only be a high-ranking official in charge of a region, but also an imperial envoy."
"Killing Fan Jian, an official, would be incredibly easy, and he'd be completely unscathed afterwards."
At this point, Chen Hai changed the subject and asked with a smile:
"If Fan Jian does something so reckless, he'll definitely implicate a lot of people. Doesn't that give you a chance to advance in your career?"
"probably!"
Chen Yang didn't mince words and readily admitted it.
"Since it's something to celebrate, shouldn't we go out for a drink?"
"Huh? Now?"
"Yes, are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid at all. Eating late-night snacks with my own brother isn't illegal or criminal."
"Okay, see you at the usual place."
Chen Yang, who had fallen asleep before 1 p.m., couldn't fall asleep right now.
I put on an extra coat for warmth and quickly got ready to go out.
I took a taxi to the Jingzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate, which is located not far from a food street.
This is a favorite spot for the siblings since they were little.
Chen Hai, who lived closer, naturally arrived earlier.
I saw that my younger brother had ordered a lot of his favorite barbecue and snacks.
Chen Yang felt a sudden warmth in his heart.
"It's been so many years since we last met. I didn't expect you to still remember my favorite food."
"Damn it! Isn't that obvious? We're siblings, how could I forget?"
"What the hell... what does that mean? Who taught you that?"
Chen Hai felt there was nothing to hide, so he gestured for his sister to sit down first.
Then he handed over a skewer of grilled chicken wings and casually said:
“I learned it from Zhao Shuji’s youngest son, Zhao Ruilong.”
"What? You learned it from him? When?"
"Just before the Spring Festival, Dad was hospitalized, and Zhao Shuji brought him and Zhao Xiaohui to visit him..."
Chen Hai recounted many things in detail.
Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai had approached him long ago, asking him to investigate whether Huilong Group was involved in any illegal or criminal activities.
This also includes the fact that the father accepted Zhao Shuji's suggestion and moved to the Handong Old Cadre Sanatorium in Yantai City.
of course.
The most important thing is that Liang Lu has been granted a divorce, and Qi Tongwei is now single again.
But Chen Yang was not surprised at all.
"When a drum is broken, everyone beats it; when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down!"
"When Liang Qunfeng suddenly died of illness, the Liang family was completely ruined."
"No one was willing to stand up for him, yet Qi Tongwei still held a powerful public office."
"Gao Yuliang doesn't need to be grateful to Liang Qunfeng for his promotion; he'll naturally be willing to help Qi Tongwei get a divorce!"
"But I'm quite curious, how many years was Liang Lu, that self-righteous madwoman, sentenced for openly and blatantly accepting bribes?"
Chen Haidao said: "She was sentenced to five years in the first instance, but she appealed, arguing that her bribery did not have a bad influence and was simply to express her gratitude for being saved."
Chen Yang smiled coldly.
"Even so, what can be done? No matter how much they try to argue, they'll still be sentenced to three years!"
Chen Hai then asked, "Do you want to get back together with Qi Tongwei?"
"If you wish, I will ask Young Master Zhao for help in transferring you back to Jingzhou!"
