Rebirth of Corrupt Officials

“It is hard for outsiders to imagine the difficulty of Central Commission for Disciplinary Inspection’s work. The cactus in the desert grow in arid environments and extend their roots infinitely to draw water from the depths. We, the people, have made countless mistakes. The same is true for putting ourselves in the most dangerous situations to obtain things that are important to us. Even I dare not speak too nobly of myself, but even if sometimes I have to use extreme means, I can tell myself—I also represent the justice I believe in.”

These words kept echoing in Jiang Xiaochuan’s ears. He hung up the phone calmly and returned to the venue. What should be faced must be faced.

.

As soon as he sat down, he saw Qin Yu next to him put away his mobile phone. The phones at the venue were all on mute, and if a message came, he would not be able to see it at all, so Qin Yu should have been looking at his mobile phone since Fu Peng left.

Qin Yu looked back at him and whispered, “The missing person has been found.”

“The missing person – Qian Qiming?”

Jiang Xiaochuan was surprised Qian Qiming’s whereabout was found so quickly, now he also understood the reason why Fu Peng left the meeting just now. It was probably what Qin Yu said.

It was fine if Qian Qiming couldn’t be found. If he was found, the matter would become more complicated.

No one knew what Qian Qiming would say or do, and some people related to Qian Qiming would probably take action again.

Qian Qiming was originally in charge of the economy, and most of his people were also in this department. It was almost certain that Jiang Xiaochuan would take over the economy. If these people caused trouble because of Qian Qiming’s affairs, Jiang Xiaochuan’s situation would be even more difficult.

Jiang Xiaochuan could only put on a calm face, pretending that he was not surprised at all, and was not worried about his situation at all.

After a while, Jiang Xiaochuan’s phone also lit up. There was a new message from Wei Lai. He opened the message and saw it was about Qian Qiming, but it was much more detailed than Qin Yu’s simple sentence just now.

[Qian Qiming was found smuggling out of the country from Dian River. He is probably still in Thailand. We have asked the Thai police to cooperate and hope to arrest him.]

Qian Qiming’s actions were really fast. Dian River was close to their capital. There were several small countries bordering it, and he actually chose this way to escape directly. It was really…

However, if he left from a complicated place like Dian River, the efficiency of China’s tracing would not be so fast. The flew of people on China’s border along the Yunnan River was very complicated. Along the Mekong River, there were some very complicated people.

Because Dian River was the junction of many countries, the security was also very chaotic. If Qian Qiming was really hidden here, it would be really difficult to deal with.

However, according to the work experience of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, corrupt officials generally would not choose these Southeast Asian countries with poor living conditions, the United States was their first choice.

But he didn’t know if the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection had found Qian Qiming’s overseas accounts. Moreover, if Qian Qiming really went to a country like the United States, which did not have an extradition agreement with China, then how to get Qian Qiming back was also a problem.

.

This question was very complicated, but Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t have the chance to think about it too deeply because Fu Peng was back, and there was no news on Fu Peng’s face. He didn’t even mention Zhou Qian and asked Jiang Xiaochuan: “Comrade Jiang Xiaochuan, do you have any opinions on the organizational decision?”

“No, organizational decisions must be resolutely obeyed.” The words on the scene sounded hypocritical, and Jiang Xiaochuan was used to it.

The hot potato of the economy department fell into Jiang Xiaochuan’s hands. Just like what he told Lian Cheng before, everyone had different expressions, representing completely different psychological activities in their hearts.

Most people’s hearts were very complicated, just like Lin Shanyi at this moment.

Jiang Xiaochuan was a typical rising star. Although Fu Peng had no good intentions in picking him to take over the economy department at this time, one-third of the power in Chengzhou was in Jiang Xiaochuan’s hands almost instantly, and the whole society was surrounding him. Economic construction had been carried out, and Jiang Xiaochuan’s current position was almost below one person and above ten thousand people.

But the difficulties Jiang Xiaochuan faced were also quite daunting, which was the real reason why everyone avoided this position.

Everyone wanted to get benefits, but they were not willing to work hard.

When returning to the office, Lin Shanyi and Jiang Xiaochuan were traveling together for a while, and Lin Shanyi felt very complicated.

He said, “Mayor Jiang, what are your thought?”

Jiang Xiaochuan shook his head, “A lot of the time, it’s not me who is thinking. I don’t think about anything; it’s them who think too much.”

Lin Shanyi suddenly lowered his head and smiled, “Young people are interesting.”

As a young man, he was still young only physically. Jiang Xiaochuan’s mental age was not young anymore, even much older than Lin Shanyi now.

“In your current situation, I’m afraid…” Lin Shanyi hesitated to speak.

Jiang Xiaochuan got to know this person better from his hesitation in speaking. This person might also be a rare and good person in the municipal government, but no one knew whether he was a corrupt official.

The municipal greening was very good, which was attributed to Wei Dong and Wei Dong’s immediate boss, Lin Shanyi, but having his good political performance didn’t mean one person was not a corrupt official.

Many things couldn’t be taken at face value.

“Mayor Lin, don’t worry. There must be a road for cars to reach the mountain, and for boats to reach the bridge. I have no other choice now.” Jiang Xiaochuan’s smile still looked kind, like a good old man who did his duty.

Lin Shanyi shook his head. When he saw he had arrived in his office, he stopped and said, “I hope Mayor Jiang will not regret today’s decision later. I’m off first. Mayor Jiang, please go slowly.”

“Thank you.” Jiang Xiaochuan and Lin Shanyi nodded to each other and then looked away.
