40: Chapter 40 The Truth Emerges

Xiao Bei stood up and bowed slightly. "Deputy Director Yu Zehua, thank you for your hard work. I believe that under the leadership of the Discipline Inspection Commission, the truth will surely come to light."

Deputy Director Yu Zehua also stood up and reached out to shake Xiao Bei's hand. "Comrade Xiao Bei, rest assured, we will never wrong a good person, nor will we let a bad person go."

Xiao Bei nodded and turned to leave the office.

As he walked out of the Discipline Inspection Commission building, he looked up at the sky, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Director Yan Jinghui, your show is about to come to an end."

Buzz, buzz~

Just as Xiao Bei walked out of the Discipline Inspection Commission building, his phone vibrated. He glanced down and saw Su Yun's name on the screen.

He raised an eyebrow slightly and answered the call.

"Xiao Bei, it's me."

Su Yun's voice, sounding slightly nervous, came from the other end of the line. "I... I have something important I want to discuss with you in person. Are you free right now?"

Xiao Bei pondered for a moment, his tone gentle.

"Yes, where are you?"

"I am at a Western restaurant in the city center called 'Blue Coast'. It is quite secluded, and no one will notice."

Su Yun's voice was very low, and she seemed somewhat uneasy.

"Alright, I will head over immediately."

Xiao Bei hung up, hailed a taxi, and headed straight to the 'Blue Coast' Western restaurant.

Twenty minutes later, Xiao Bei pushed open the glass door of 'Blue Coast'. He scanned the restaurant and quickly spotted Su Yun in a booth in the corner.

Today, she was wearing a sky-blue slim-fit dress. The hemline perfectly outlined her graceful curves, and a thin black belt was tied around her waist, highlighting her slender waist and exquisite figure.

Her long hair was slightly curled and draped over her shoulders. She wore light makeup and bright lipstick, exuding an incredibly sexy aura.

Xiao Bei walked over and sat down opposite her, smiling slightly.

"Miss Su Yun, you look beautiful today."

Su Yun blushed slightly and whispered.

"Section Chief Xiao, please don't tease me. I... I asked to see you today because I have something important."

Xiao Bei nodded, his expression turning serious.

"Go ahead."

Su Yun took a black USB drive out of her bag and pushed it toward Xiao Bei. Her voice was very low.

"This contains all the evidence of Station President Jia Chengzhi's misconduct over the years, including his corruption, bribery, abuse of power, and even... even evidence of him forcing himself on female subordinates. I... I have been collecting it secretly for a long time, but I never dared to bring it out. But now, I feel that you are the only one who can help me."

Xiao Bei picked up the USB drive, examined it carefully, and asked.

"Why are you only bringing this out now?"

Su Yun bit her lip, a look of pain flashing in her eyes.

"Because... because I was afraid. Station President Jia Chengzhi has too much influence at Canglan City Television. If I were exposed, he would definitely retaliate against me. But... after last night, I realized something. I cannot let him control me forever, and I cannot let more people be harmed. Xiao Bei, I trust you. I know you will be able to turn this evidence over to the Discipline Inspection Commission and expose him completely."

After listening to Su Yun, Xiao Bei gently held the USB drive in his hand.

"Su Yun, you did very well. The Discipline Inspection Commission is already watching Station President Jia Chengzhi, and with the evidence you have provided, he will definitely not escape this time."

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes still held a hint of worry.

"But... Station President Jia Chengzhi has many eyes and ears at the station. If he finds out I betrayed him, he will definitely come after me."

Xiao Bei nodded and said in a calm tone.

"Rest assured, I have already arranged for people from the Discipline Inspection Commission to protect you in secret. However, for the sake of safety, you must be careful recently. Try not to act alone, and do not trust anyone easily."

Su Yun looked at Xiao Bei with gratitude, her voice choked with emotion.

"Thank you, Section Chief Xiao. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Xiao Bei smiled and comforted her.

"No need to thank me; it is what I should do. What you need to do now is protect yourself. Once this matter is over, you can start a new life."

Su Yun nodded, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes.

"I will."

Xiao Bei stood up and gently patted her shoulder.

"I'll be going now. Take care."

Su Yun also stood up and watched Xiao Bei leave. It was not until his figure disappeared at the restaurant entrance that she slowly sat down and took a deep breath, as if gathering courage for her next steps.

After leaving the restaurant, Xiao Bei immediately hailed a taxi and headed straight to the Municipal Government.

Upon arriving at the Municipal Government building, Xiao Bei went straight to the door of Mayor Qin Ruoxi's office. He took a deep breath and knocked gently on the door.

"Please come in."

Mayor Qin Ruoxi's crisp voice came from inside.

Xiao Bei pushed the door open and entered, seeing Mayor Qin Ruoxi hunched over her desk, reviewing documents.

She looked up, and seeing it was Xiao Bei, she asked with a smile.

"What is it, Little Xiao? Is something the matter?"

Xiao Bei closed the door and said with a serious expression.

"Mayor Qin, I have something important to report to you."

Sensing Xiao Bei's solemnity, Mayor Qin Ruoxi put down her pen and signaled for him to sit.

"Sit down and tell me. What happened?"

Xiao Bei sat opposite Mayor Qin Ruoxi and placed the USB drive from his hand onto the table.

"This was given to me by Su Yun, a host at Canglan City Television. It contains all the evidence of Station President Jia Chengzhi's misconduct over the years, including corruption, bribery, abuse of power, and even evidence of him forcing himself on female subordinates."

Mayor Qin Ruoxi frowned and picked up the USB drive.

"Station President Jia Chengzhi? He actually has such audacity?"

Xiao Bei nodded.

"Not only that, but he also attempted to frame me, fabricating issues regarding my personal conduct in order to undermine your authority."

A cold glint flashed in Mayor Qin Ruoxi's eyes.

"Tell me in detail. What is going on?"

Xiao Bei told Mayor Qin Ruoxi everything about last night's dinner and Su Yun's ordeal, and concluded by saying.

"There is someone behind Station President Jia Chengzhi; Director Yan Jinghui of the Municipal Government Office is also involved. They conspired to set this trap to frame me, with the ultimate goal of targeting you."

After hearing this, Mayor Qin Ruoxi's expression grew increasingly dark. She inserted the USB drive into her computer and quickly browsed through the contents. As the evidence appeared page by page, her expression became increasingly grim.

"This is lawlessness!"

Mayor Qin Ruoxi slammed her hand on the desk, burning with anger. "These people dare to be so blatant in their illegal activities, treating Party discipline and the laws of the country as nothing!"

Xiao Bei said in a deep voice.

"Mayor Qin, the evidence is now conclusive. We must take action immediately; otherwise, they might destroy the evidence or even harm Su Yun."

Mayor Qin Ruoxi took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner anger. She picked up the phone on her desk and dialed a number.

"Secretary Xue Yue, this is Mayor Qin Ruoxi. I have something important to discuss; please come over."

The steady voice of Secretary Xue Yue, the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, came from the other end of the line.

"Mayor Qin, what is so urgent?"
