Zhang Yue didn't know how she had left the room.
By the time she came to her senses, she was already outside the elevator.
"Damn!"
She knew she had been deceived by her husband's driver, that damn Song Guanchao!
She had handed over all the evidence to him!
She thought that Li Fuhai had been put under shuanggui.
She thought that Song Guanchao was sent by Li Fuhai…
But the Disciplinary Committee staff told her that there was nothing wrong with Li Fuhai; the problem was with Song Guanchao!
"Bastard!"
She stamped her foot forcefully but dared not make too much noise, fearing that it would attract attention.
She took a deep breath and quickly sorted out her confused thoughts.
Although she was unclear about Song Guanchao's motives, she absolutely couldn't let Li Fuhai find out about this.
She had to find Song Guanchao!
She needed to know what exactly Song Guanchao was planning!
Li Fuhai stood outside the hotel, his cigarette not yet finished, when he saw his secretary and wife come out of the hotel one after the other.
Li Fuhai glanced at Zhang Ming, "How is it?"
Zhang Ming nodded, "I have already explained everything on my side."
Li Fuhai nodded in satisfaction, glanced at his distraught wife, and squeezing her curvaceous buttocks, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist and said, "Don't worry so much; it was just routine questioning."
Zhang Yue forced a smile and nodded gently.
Once back at home, she finally asked, "What happened with the Disciplinary Committee today? Why such a large-scale operation?"
Li Fuhai said with a smile, "A demolisher came to me asking to arrange a position for his son, and I forgot about it. The bastard actually ran to the Disciplinary Committee to report me."
"Damn it, once this blows over, I'll deal with him slowly."
Zhang Yue asked, "What does this have to do with your driver?"
Li Fuhai replied, "When there's trouble, someone has to take the blame. As a driver, isn't it his duty to relieve the leader's worries and solve problems?"
Zhang Yue understood.
Li Fuhai had used Song Guanchao as a scapegoat.
But how had Song Guanchao found out about this?
Could it be that he had a powerful backer behind him?
Zhang Yue was deeply worried.
With the evidence in Song Guanchao's hands, she felt as if someone was clutching at her throat, controlling her fate.
…
The next day.
Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee, Nanjiang Province.
Secretary Xu Wu.
He had just walked into his office and hadn't yet finished making a cup of tea when someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Secretary Xu, your express delivery."
"Just leave it there."
"Alright."
The young man placed the package on his desk and left the office.
Xu Wu put down his teacup and picked up the express delivery.
It was a folder.
Upon opening it, he found a USB drive and a note inside.
The note read: Lingjiang City Vice Mayor Li Fuhai involved in corruption, bribery, and power-for-sex deals.
Xu Wu's eyes narrowed, and he let out a light chuckle, "Interesting."
He plugged in the USB drive.
An hour later.
Xu Wu unplugged the USB drive and lit a cigarette.
The contents of the USB drive provided solid evidence.
However, Xu Wu did not take immediate action.
The downfall of a Vice Mayor would definitely cause a minor earthquake in Lingjiang City's political scene.
He wanted to know who had sent the USB drive.
The other party was smart, they didn't send the USB flash drive to the City Disciplinary Committee, instead, it was sent to the Provincial Disciplinary Committee, and specifically to him, the head of the committee.
Although the City Disciplinary Committee had the authority to investigate city leaders, typically, actions concerning city leadership were spearheaded by the Provincial Disciplinary Committee.
After all, considering the unity of the city leadership team, even if the City Disciplinary Committee had evidence, they would first report to the Provincial Disciplinary Committee.
He weighed the USB drive in his hand, thoughts of Lingjiang City surfacing in his mind.
The political landscape in Lingjiang City was complicated and faction-ridden.
Moreover, as he understood, the top leaders in Lingjiang City had very low authority, many people would obey in appearance but defy in secret, making policies hard to implement.
But whenever inspection teams went to Lingjiang City for research, the answers they got were always promising.
It was as though someone was intentionally covering something up.
The issues in Lingjiang City had long been known by the province.
Furthermore, the province also intended to cleanse and rectify the existing issues in Lingjiang City.
And the method of rectification was to parachute a full-time Deputy Secretary to dig out the harmful elements in Lingjiang City and restore a clear sky!
With this thought, Xu Wu made a phone call.
As the call connected, Xu Wu asked with a smile, "Mayor Wu, have the procedures for your job transfer been completed?"
A crisp, beautiful female voice came through the mobile phone, "They were just completed today."
"Already completed? Hehe, then I should start addressing you as Secretary Wu."
"Mhm." Secretary Wu asked, "What does Secretary Xu need me for?"
Xu Wu said, "Your tenure is about to begin, I have a gift for you."
Secretary Wu responded, "I don't need gifts."
"This gift is quite special," Xu Wu said with a secretive smile. "I am giving you a Vice Mayor!"
…
Wu Qiangwei, female, 29 years old, former Mayor of Wu'an City.
By the decision of the Nanjiang Province Standing Committee meeting, Wu Qiangwei was appointed as the full-time Deputy Secretary of the Lingjiang City Committee.
Wu Qiangwei was well aware that her mission to Ling'an City as the full-time Deputy Secretary was to reform the political atmosphere of Lingjiang City.
She carried on her shoulders the expectations of the province.
At that moment, she had just left the Provincial Committee compound of Nanjiang Province, and after receiving the call, she directed her driver to head to the Provincial Disciplinary Committee.
Twenty minutes later, she entered Xu Wu's office.
After watching the video on the USB drive, a ripple crossed the stunning visage of Wu Qiangwei.
"Secretary Wu, do you like this gift?"
"Thank you."
Wu Qiangwei took the USB drive and stood up to leave.
Watching her leaving figure, Xu Wu shook his head and bitterly smiled, "When will the Wu family girl ever change her temperament?"
…
At 11:30 PM.
The cafeteria of Lingjiang City Government building.
Li Fuhai had just sat down with his secretary, and before he could even firmly grasp his chopsticks, six men in black suits entered the cafeteria.
These six men walked with an imposing stride and as soon as they appeared, they immediately caught the attention of everyone in the cafeteria.
When people saw the red national emblem pins on the chests of the six men, their pupils shrank, and the entire cafeteria instantly quieted down.
The six men stopped before Li Fuhai.
Li Fuhai slowly raised his head, and upon seeing the leading Secretary Wang of the City Disciplinary Committee, he slightly startled, then noticing his serious expression, a foreboding feeling began to rise within him.
He immediately stood up, smiling and extending his right hand, attempting to shake hands, "Secretary Wang…"
Secretary Wang acted as if he didn't see it, opened the folder in his hand, and officiously said, "Li Fuhai, you are suspected of violations and discipline breaches. On behalf of the City Disciplinary Committee, I announce the decision of confinement to you. You are required to report your issues at the designated time and place starting now."
The cafeteria was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, Secretary Wang's words clear and resonant in the ears of hundreds of city government employees who had come to dine.
One thought crossed their minds: Vice Mayor Li has been put under confinement!
Li Fuhai's face turned pale, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Beside him, Secretary Zhang Ming's heart stirred with shocking waves, not understanding why Li Fuhai was suddenly put under confinement.
The news of Li Fuhai's confinement spread through the entire city government building and the City Committee with the speed of lightning.
Those who were acquainted with Li Fuhai felt endangered.
Those who were at odds with Li Fuhai, however, had smiles across their faces.
But everyone was curious about one thing, why was Li Fuhai put under confinement?
Who had taken action?
Meanwhile.
Longjiang Road Police Station.
Liang Jiajia, who had spent a night at the station, suddenly received notice that Song Guanchao was cleared of suspicion and released immediately!
