Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 1009 In-depth Investigation

The two office clerks could sense that something was not right in the upper echelons of Hanjiang Province.

As the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, Yue Ting felt it even more deeply. He was criticized by the governor at the standing committee meeting early this morning.

Secretary Shi Yanan repeatedly asked him to be patient, but the more he tolerated, the more the other party became presumptuous.

Yue Ting sat in the car. The more he closed his eyes and thought, the more upset he became, and he began to give instructions to the driver.

"I'm not going home. I'm going to Four Seasons City."

The driver wanted to remind his leader that this was an extraordinary period, but the leader's furrowed brow and closed eyes in the rearview mirror made him shut up.

Just turn around at the next intersection and go back.

What they didn't notice was that a taxi behind them also turned around at the intersection.

A team from the Third Supervisory Office of the Discipline Inspection Commission was sitting in the taxi, including the driver.

"Secretary Yue didn't go home after get off work. It seems he wants to have some fun.

Keep up, keep up."

Sitting in the passenger seat was the team leader. The driver immediately turned the steering wheel and followed closely.

"Okay, we've been following Secretary Yue for a few days now.

His life is quite regular. He either goes to work at the Municipal Party Committee or goes home.

I rarely even go to social events.

Only today we turned around halfway."

The female investigator sitting in the back seat added.

"According to previous investigations, Secretary Yue has several mistresses, all of whom are concentrated in the Four Seasons City residential complex.

There are two in one building. This direction should be Four Seasons City, right?"

The team leader continued.

"It seems so. Secretary Yue is very cautious in his work.

One of his mistresses ran a consulting firm that provided services to his subordinates and those who sought his services.

In fact, it is an institution that collects money.

He also has a mistress who helps him run a real estate company. It is said that all real estate projects in Jinchuan City must cooperate with this company to proceed.

Including this Four Seasons City project, at least half of the houses there belong to Secretary Yue.”

The driver also joined the discussion.

"I heard that Secretary Yue was quite handsome when he was young, and since he was powerful, many women were attracted to him.

He openly had four mistresses. When he was working at a certain steel plant, it was rumored that he had one wife and four concubines.

The number of his girlfriends is even more amazing. It's hard for him to be so busy and yet he can sit in the position of municipal party committee secretary.

Team leader, is it true that there are rumors that he is the lover of Shi Yanan, the provincial party committee leader?

However, the team leader stopped them from continuing their association. Anyway, everyone was very excited when talking about these matters between men and women.

“Even we can’t make random statements without any real evidence.

If this gets out, we'll be in big trouble.

Secretary Yue was a famous handsome guy when he was working at the steel plant in Northeast China.

What is certain is that Secretary Shi’s mother is Secretary Yue’s godmother, and they are like siblings.

The two were bound together firmly."

The female member in the back row asked at this time.

"Team Leader, shouldn't they avoid suspicion when it comes to their personal relationship?

How can it be so tightly bound? How can it pass the organizational review?"

"A godmother is not my biological mother, so it's not a proper family relationship.

There's no point in avoiding suspicion; it's just that their relationship, in the eyes of other leaders, will create a gap.

Other leaders would definitely not want the people they promote to have such a deep imprint from other leaders.

Isn’t this just going to go all the way to the dark?”

“Politics is so complicated, it’s almost there, it’s here.

Team leader, how do we get in?"

The team leader didn't reply.

"Drive the car to the basement first. I have prepared the access pass."

Sure enough, there was no danger. The pass prepared by the team leader came in handy and the taxi entered the basement.

"Xiao Wu, you're the driver, you have to drive this car out. Xiao Zhu, come with me to Building 3.

The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has already rented a room for us there."

When the two went upstairs, a team from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was already busy in the room. The team leader was Tian Guofu, who was transferred from the Seventh Supervisory Office. They were all old acquaintances.

"Team Leader Chen, come here."

The team leaders of both sides went to the inner room to discuss the future work direction, and the female team member Xiao Zhu who stayed behind simply greeted the investigators from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Then we quickly got into work mode and discussed the case.

A few days later, Xiao Zhu came to a consulting company as a job applicant.

As a top student of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Xiao Zhu graduated from a prestigious university, has extensive connections, and is top-notch in both emotional intelligence and IQ. She quickly gained the favor of the female boss of a consulting company, and the two became sisters.

In addition to Xiao Zhu, Xiao Wu and several other young investigators also used various methods to enter several companies controlled by Yue Ting for undercover investigations.

"Governor Jin, several investigators from the Discipline Inspection Commission are operating smoothly and have already gone undercover in several target companies.

I believe there will be results soon.”

Jin Xinkai sat in the main seat, smoking one cigarette after another. In the next few months, he had to compete with Shi Yanan to complete several tasks assigned by his superiors.

Jin Xinkai, who is not yet fifty years old, has white hair on his temples.

“We need to speed up and obtain substantial evidence before Commissioner Qi arrives so that we have enough cards to play.

We can also continue the work of clearing redundant positions across the province as quickly as possible."

When Tian Guofu heard the last sentence, he was filled with hatred, and he felt it the most deeply.

The task of cleaning up redundant staff and eliminating those who draw salaries without working was treated as a joke by almost all the cities and counties below, and was dealt with casually.

Every time they were about to strike hard, they would be obstructed by cadres such as Yue Ting. With the firm support of the top leader Shi Yanan, they simply ignored the provincial government's orders.

The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has not been idle during this period and has obtained a lot of evidence of illegal and criminal activities by local and municipal leaders, but as soon as one is released, he is suppressed by the top leader.

Their situation is better than it was a few months ago, but the changes are limited.

"Governor Jin, has the higher-ups made up their minds?"

Tian Guofu also received news that the higher-ups had different attitudes on whether Hanjiang Province should launch a large-scale anti-corruption campaign. Some leaders were optimistic about Shi Yanan, the female leader, and even hoped that she could safely complete one term and be promoted to a higher position.

However, a group of young members led by Qi Tongwei held a negative attitude, believing that the current embarrassing situation in Hanjiang Province was caused by the inaction of cadres like Shi Yanan.

It's outrageous that instead of punishing her, they promoted her.

Discussions regarding Hanjiang Province have gone through many rounds, and even Shi Yanan herself has heard about it. Some of the higher-ups are dissatisfied with her approach and are even radical enough to want to punish her.

Therefore, during this period, Yue Ting was the main force against Jin Xinkai and others. Shi Yanan mediated in the middle and sometimes even had to make huge concessions, but Jin Xinkai and others felt that it was not enough.
