Chapter 281: Chapter 280: Approval Document in Hand_1

With the Secretary’s personal approval, the Zhuang City Municipal Committee naturally didn’t dare to slack off. On the spot, in front of the Provincial Department of Public Security, the Director of the Zhuang City Public Security Bureau suspended the duties of Brigade Zhang, who was suspected of disciplinary violations, for investigation. As for the followers, they were directly fired from the police force.

At the same time, the Zhuang City Municipal Committee convened an urgent Standing Committee meeting. At the meeting, Secretary Wang Nansheng of Zhuang City Municipal Committee emphasized Secretary Qin’s personal approval and immediately established an official investigation group led by the Secretary of the Zhuang City Discipline Inspection Commission, with a Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission personally in charge.

Regarding the investigation of Yao Linshan, it was very simple and swift. In this era, although the bank has not implemented real-name banking, various concealed deposits are difficult to investigate and obtain evidence. However, many officials in this era like to hide cash at home.

After taking control of Yao Linshan, the investigation group thoroughly searched the house he had purchased in Zhuang City Lv Yuan District. Between the bathroom and kitchen, they discovered a hollowed-out hidden room, where they found 800,000 yuan in cash, 150,000 Hong Kong dollars, over 30,000 US dollars, three deposit books, and an assortment of gold jewelry.

With this concrete evidence, Yao Linshan confessed to his corruption and bribery crimes. At the same time, during the interrogation of Yao Kang, who couldn’t withstand the intense psychological onslaught, he confessed to collaborating with Brigade Zhang to injure and rape a few girls using his father’s privilege.

The Provincial Party Committee and Government Office Building

Currently, in the office of Nie Guowei, Secretary Qin was sitting on the sofa, while Governor Guowei was standing by his side with a smile.

This scene was somewhat reflective for Nie Guowei. Yanbei might be the traditional sphere of influence of the Nie family, but it doesn’t mean that everyone in Yanbei was a direct descendant of the Nie family. Central government wouldn’t allow that. With President Yuan and Prime Minister Yun’s wisdom, they would absolutely not allow the emergence of a family that only listens to familial commands instead of centralized commands.

The Jin City families, basically, when talking about the traditional spheres of influence of a family, they mean that the certain family has more cadres and consistently holds an advantage in the government of the province. It implies that they hold the most important positions most of the time. This is the true meaning of a traditional sphere of influence.

Secretary Qin was not a part of the Nie faction. This was something Nie Guowei knew very well, and Secretary Qin was a sharp-witted man.

Nie Guowei admitted that he was not Secretary Qin’s match in terms of cunning. Fortunately, this was Yanbei Province where many deputy provincial leaders were from the Nie faction. This was what allowed him to maintain a kind of balance.

“Governor Guowei, the facts behind the Yao Linshan case are clear now. It’s shocking. In just three short years, a bureau-level official was corrupted and fell into such a state, with the embezzled funds amounting to several million yuan. Such a person should be resolutely suppressed and severely punished.” Secretary Qin pondered for a moment, then uttered this.

Nie Guowei sneered at this moment. Secretary Qin was indeed good at playing the human game. Who didn’t know that Yao Linshan was his old boss’s son-in-law? If he hadn’t relied on you, the provincial party secretary, would he dare to be so arrogant and bold?

But it was just a thought. Even though Yao Linshan was the leader’s son-in-law, who could do anything to him as long as Secretary Qin had no problems? It wasn’t even possible to talk about him not supervising properly.

“Governor Guowei, after the Yao Linshan case, the position of Zhuang City’s executive deputy mayor has been vacated. Do you have any suitable candidates on your end?” Secretary Qin slowly stated his stance.

This was Secretary Qin’s ultimate intention for his visit today. On this matter, Secretary Qin hoped that both the Nie and Dong Yang families would let go. For these families, this was a minor issue that could become a major issue. It’s best to put a stop to it. Secretary Nie must speak up if he wants to let these people let go. With Nie’s approval, there won’t be any problem with the Nie family, and it’s evident that the daughters of the Dong Yang families are listening from their son. Secretary Qin saw this, he personally made the effort to come over and give this large favor to Nie Guowei.

After pondering for a moment, Nie Guowei also slowly said, “I agree with Secretary Qin’s opinion. Yao Linshan’s case is just a special case. It has to do with individual corruption and not with the education of the party. I think this case can be transferred over to the prosecution.”

Nie Guowei didn’t pick up on what Secretary Qin was saying. But Secretary Qin just smiled and nodded in affirmation, “Yes, I had the same idea. It seems like Governor Guowei and I are thinking the same thing.”

In the official world, speaking in riddles is the most favorite method. Even though both the men’s words didn’t seem to match up, they were clear on their understanding.

Secretary Qin offered Yao Linshan’s position to Nie Guowei. For a moment, Nie Guowei naturally wouldn’t have any suitable candidates. Nie Guowei’s relaxing proved that he will transfer Yao Linshan to the prosecution. This clearly signifies his agreement with Secretary Qin’s proposal. This case will end here and it will not involve anyone else, so this position will definitely be Nie Guowei’s in the future, Secretary Qin will not go back on his word. Without this sort of credibility, Secretary Qin could not have risen to his current position.
