The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Compared to others.

It's obvious that at crucial moments, Chen Changxing knows better how to choose sides.

This is also why Chen Fang wanted to transfer him to the inspection team, to put it bluntly, to give him a chance.

Around two in the afternoon.

Three buses drove into the Shangqing City Discipline Inspection and Propaganda Education Base.

This place was designated by Chen Fang as the base of the inspection team.

The Supreme Disciplinary Committee sent over 50 people to Chen Fang this time.

From this scale, it seems that no matter who Gu Mengsheng's case involves, Shangguan Shoudong intends to bring them down together.

Three in the afternoon.

Chen Fang held a meeting with the members of the inspection team.

Then he divided the whole team into two smaller teams.

One team was coordinated by Huang Qichang, and another was led by Mei Yiru.

The Huang team is mainly responsible for Lou Youhua's case.

The main focus of the Mei team is the Cui Liansheng murder-for-hire case.

Both cases are launched simultaneously.

This has caused the entire political scene of Shangqing City to be in a state of panic; no one knows what exactly is lurking behind such a grand display, and who will fall next.

Around five in the evening.

Chen Fang was arranging tasks in his office.

At this time, Wu Xixin knocked on the door and walked in.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Fang asked.

Wu Xixin said, "Leader, the Mayor's secretary has come to confess."

"Oh?"

Chen Fang was slightly surprised.

Then he smiled and said, "It seems that our Mayor Ji hasn't been scared by our momentum yet, it doesn't matter, first send someone to interrogate this Guo Tingting, I'll go meet Lou Youhua and put on a good show for him."

"Alright."

Wu Xixin left after receiving the order.

About half-past five.

Lou Youhua was escorted into the temporary interrogation room by two Disciplinary Committee staff members.

He still maintained an indifferent attitude, as he always did.

Cuffed to the interrogation chair, he continually yawned.

"Comrade, aren't you tired? I've said everything clearly about this case, dragging me here and there, aren't you tired?"

Lou Youhua said to the two officers in the room.

"Tired?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the doorway.

Lou Youhua shuddered, looking up to find Chen Fang standing at the door.

He paused for a moment and asked, "What's going on? Isn't my case handled by the County Disciplinary Committee? How did it get to the City Disciplinary Committee?"

"You're wrong, your case has been escalated now."

Chen Fang said.

Lou Youhua paused in confusion.

Asked, "The Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee is in charge now?"

Chen Fang walked slowly to him.

He slapped a red-lettered document in front of him and said, "Take a look, the Party and the government still pay great attention to you."

Lou Youhua glanced at the document.

The expression on his face froze suddenly.

He exclaimed, "Supreme Disciplinary Committee? My…my case needs the Supreme Disciplinary Committee to handle? It's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, isn't it?"

"I think it's appropriate, considering the charges against you are quite numerous: embezzlement and bribery, abuse of power, rape, intentional injury, organizing and leading a mafia-type organization, oh, and intentional murder."

Chen Fang spoke leisurely.

Lou Youhua frowned and said, "Secretary Chen, I don't understand what you're saying, I admit the previous charges, but what's with the murder charge?"

"Lin Duoduo, since the real killer can't be found in this case, we have to find a scapegoat, don't we? Enough, I didn't bring you here to ask you anything today."

Having said that.

Chen Fang beckoned to the staff, saying, "Bring the stuff."

The staff brought a stack of papers to Chen Fang.

Chen Fang placed it in front of Lou Youhua.

He took out a pen and said, "Sign it."

Lou Youhua skimmed the first page.

It was an interrogation record, detailing how he murdered Lin Duoduo.

The statements on it were things he had never said, meaning this record was fabricated by Chen Fang.

"I never said those things, why should I sign it?"

Lou Youhua asked.

Chen Fang nodded and said, "You don't have to sign, but at least make a fingerprint."

"I won't, I said I never said those things."

Lou Youhua said.

Chen Fang didn't want to waste time with him either.

With a wave of his hand.

The two staff members came forward, held down his hand, dipped it into the ink, and pressed it onto the signature space.

Upon completing the handprints.

Chen Fang, very satisfied, picked up the confession for a look.

Said, "Alright, that's it, take him away."

"Chen Fang, you can't do this, you can't do this, I'll recant when I get to court, I won't admit to killing anyone."

Lou Youhua was lifted by two staff members.

He struggled and shouted at Chen Fang.

Chen Fang remained calm, smiled slightly, and said, "Recant? You have to live to see the day you get to court. Take him away!"

Putting on a full performance.

At this moment, fear began to set in for Lou Youhua.

He initially thought regardless of how many charges, it wouldn't lead to the death penalty.

But adding this murder charge changed the nature entirely.

The play directed by Chen Fang made him realize that Chen Fang certainly intended to end his life in some way, either through "illness" or an "accident".

He didn't want to die.

That was his bottom line.

Being dragged out.

The more he thought, the more frightened he became.

And at that moment, all his psychological defenses crumbled instantly.

He grabbed the door frame tight with one hand and turned to shout to Chen Fang, "Secretary Chen, I'll confess, I'll confess, Lin Duoduo was not killed by me, it was Ji Shuzhen who did it, it has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me..."

"Ji Shuzhen? But she clearly told me you have no evidence of her killing."

Chen Fang snorted coldly.

Lou Youhua shouted anxiously, "I have no evidence of her killing, but it was she who took Lin Duoduo away that day, and Lin Duoduo didn't come back the next day. I called her, and she said she accidentally killed Lin Duoduo and asked me to eliminate all evidence of Lin Duoduo's existence, I... I couldn't help it, she... she's helped me a lot over the years, I... had to do it..."

Upon hearing this sentence.

Chen Fang knew he had succeeded.

Impatiently waving his hand, said, "Alright, I'll give you a chance."

Lou Youhua, feeling grateful, was re-cuffed to the chair, and the interrogation team intervened. A long-buried secret finally unveiled its mysterious veil.

The incident happened three months ago.

Two foreign businessmen intended to invest in Shangqing City.

To secure this political achievement, Ji Shuzhen called Lou Youhua, asking him to prepare.

Because similar situations had occurred before.

Upon receiving the call, Lou Youhua immediately booked a restaurant.

Of course, to entertain the foreign businessmen, it was natural to have beautiful women accompany.
