41: Chapter 41 Comprehensive Investigation

Mayor Qin said in a grave tone: "We have obtained conclusive evidence of serious disciplinary and legal violations by Director Yan Jinghui of the Municipal Government Office and Station Chief Jia of Canglan City Television. The situation is extremely severe, and the Discipline Inspection Commission needs to intervene immediately."

Secretary Xue Yue's voice also turned serious: "Very well. I will arrange personnel immediately. Where are you?"

Qin Ruoxi glanced at Xiao Bei: "I am in my office. I will wait for you to arrive, and then I will hand the evidence over to you."

"Understood. I am on my way." Secretary Xue Yue hung up the phone after saying this.

Qin Ruoxi put down the phone and said to Xiao Bei: "Secretary Xue Yue from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection is on his way. Prepare yourself and ensure you explain the situation to him in detail."

Xiao Bei nodded: "Yes, Mayor Qin."

Less than ten minutes later, Secretary Xue Yue arrived at the mayor's office in a hurry, accompanied by two staff members from the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Qin Ruoxi stood up to welcome him: "Secretary Xue Yue, sorry to have troubled you to come over."

Secretary Xue Yue waved his hand: "This matter is of great importance, so I had to come in person. Mayor Qin, what are the specific details?"

Qin Ruoxi gestured to Xiao Bei: "Xiao Bei, please brief Secretary Xue Yue."

Xiao Bei handed the USB flash drive to Secretary Xue Yue and detailed the disciplinary and legal violations committed by Station President Jia Chengzhi and Director Yan Jinghui, as well as the process of their attempt to frame him.

As Secretary Xue Yue listened, he reviewed the evidence on the USB drive, his expression growing increasingly grave.

"This evidence is very strong. The actions of Station President Jia Chengzhi and Director Yan Jinghui have severely violated Party discipline and state laws."

Secretary Xue Yue said in a deep voice: "We must take action immediately to prevent them from colluding or destroying evidence."

Qin Ruoxi nodded: "I fully agree. Secretary Xue Yue, how do you suggest we proceed?"

Secretary Xue Yue thought for a moment and said decisively: "I will immediately arrange for personnel to place Station President Jia Chengzhi and Director Yan Jinghui under 'Shuanggui'. At the same time, we will launch a comprehensive investigation into Canglan City Television and the Municipal Government Office. Additionally, we must ensure the safety of the witness, Su Yun."

Xiao Bei interjected: "Secretary Xue Yue, I have already suggested that the Discipline Inspection Commission send someone to protect Su Yun. She is currently emotionally unstable and requires special care."

Secretary Xue Yue nodded: "Very well, I will assign someone specifically to be responsible for her safety. Mayor Qin, this matter has a wide scope, and we may need support from the Municipal Party Committee."

Qin Ruoxi did not hesitate: "I will report this to Party Secretary Ji Zhengnan of the Municipal Party Committee immediately to secure full support for the Discipline Inspection Commission's work. Secretary Xue Yue, feel free to proceed with the investigation. Regardless of who is involved, we must investigate this to the very end!"

Secretary Xue Yue stood up and said solemnly: "Mayor Qin, please rest assured. Our Discipline Inspection Commission will enforce the law impartially and will never tolerate any illegal or undisciplined behavior."

Qin Ruoxi also stood up and shook hands with Secretary Xue Yue: "Thank you for your hard work, Secretary Xue Yue. We must return a clean and honest political environment to Canglan City."

After seeing Secretary Xue Yue off, Qin Ruoxi returned to her office and let out a long sigh of relief.

She looked at Xiao Bei, her eyes full of approval: "Little Xiao, this time it is all thanks to you. If you hadn't discovered and obtained this evidence in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Xiao Bei said modestly: "Mayor Qin, this is what I should have done. I was merely fulfilling my duty."

Qin Ruoxi smiled slightly and said: "Your calmness and decisiveness have impressed me. After this incident is over, I will recommend you to the organization and give you more responsibilities."

Upon hearing Qin Ruoxi's words, Xiao Bei felt a slight jolt in his heart.

He understood the deeper meaning behind Qin Ruoxi's words—in the future, she intended to send him down to the grassroots level for training and to take on a leadership position.

Although this meant he would be leaving the core circle of the Municipal Government, Xiao Bei knew that this was an essential step for his career advancement.

Once he had spread his wings and become capable in the future, he would become an even more powerful asset by Qin Ruoxi's side.

He nodded and said firmly: "Mayor Qin, I will obey the organization's arrangements."

Qin Ruoxi nodded with satisfaction: "Good. I am very pleased that you have this level of awareness. After this incident is over, I will communicate with the Organization Department."

Meanwhile, inside the office of the station president at Canglan City Television, Station President Jia Chengzhi was sitting in a large leather chair, holding a glass of red wine with a smug smile on his face.

He had previously received a call from Director Yan Jinghui and learned that Xiao Bei was already being investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission, and he was secretly gloating.

"Hmph, Xiao Bei, oh Xiao Bei, did you think you could outplay me? Let's see what chance you have to turn things around this time!"

Station President Jia Chengzhi muttered to himself, his tone full of disdain.

He put down the wine glass, picked up the phone on the desk, and dialed a number: "Hello, Little Zhang, how is the dinner arrangement with Bureau Chief Hu going for tonight?"

A subordinate's respectful voice came from the other end of the line: "Station Chief Jia, please rest assured, everything has been arranged properly. However, Su Yun has not been answering her phone."

Upon hearing this, Station President Jia Chengzhi said with some dissatisfaction: "That bitch actually dares not to answer the phone? She must be itching for a beating. Just watch how I deal with her!"

After hanging up the phone, Station President Jia Chengzhi stood up and stretched his muscles.

Bang! At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and several staff members from the Discipline Inspection Commission wearing grey administrative jackets walked in. The one leading them was none other than Deputy Director Yu Zehua of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Office.

Station President Jia Chengzhi was stunned, then frowned and said in an unhappy tone: "Who are you? Who allowed you to enter?"

Deputy Director Yu Zehua walked up to Station President Jia Chengzhi with an expressionless face and showed his work identification: "Comrade Jia Chengzhi, we are from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. According to the organization's decision, we are now placing you under 'Shuanggui' investigation. Please cooperate with our work."

Station President Jia Chengzhi's face instantly turned pale, and the wine glass in his hand dropped to the floor with a "clatter," spilling red wine everywhere. He tried to maintain his composure, but his voice was trembling slightly: "You... you must have made a mistake, right? I am the station president of Canglan City Television. What right do you have to investigate me?"

Deputy Director Yu Zehua said coldly: "Station Chief Jia, since we have come, it means we have already obtained sufficient evidence. Please do not put up futile resistance; otherwise, it will only aggravate your guilt."

Cold sweat seeped from Station President Jia Chengzhi's forehead. He subconsciously took a step back, his voice somewhat panicked: "No, this is impossible! You must have made a mistake! I want to call Director Yan of the Municipal Government Office. He will definitely help me clear this up!"

Deputy Director Yu Zehua sneered: "Director Yan Jinghui? He is like a clay bodhisattva crossing the river—he can barely save himself, let alone you! Station President Jia Chengzhi, please recognize the situation and cooperate with our investigation."

Station President Jia Chengzhi's face turned completely ashen, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to collapse to the ground.

He never expected that the trap he had meticulously planned would end in such a way.

"No... this is impossible..." Station President Jia Chengzhi muttered to himself, his eyes filled with despair.

Deputy Director Yu Zehua waved his hand, and the two staff members behind him immediately stepped forward, grabbing Station President Jia Chengzhi from the left and right: "Comrade Jia Chengzhi, please come with us."

When Station President Jia Chengzhi was led out of the office, the corridor was already filled with staff members from Canglan City Television.

Everyone watched the usually imposing Station President Jia Chengzhi in his current disheveled state, whispering to one another, their faces full of shock and confusion.

"What happened to Station Chief Jia? Why was he taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission?"
