119: Chapter 119 Zhao Shaojun's Downfall

"What are you doing here!"

Qin Chuan chuckled, "Naturally, I'm here to see Secretary Zhao and show you something. I think you'll like it very much."

Zhao Shaojun said in a deep voice, "What is it!"

Qin Chuan walked over, inserted the USB drive he had brought into Zhao Shaojun's computer, and then opened one of the videos.

The scene in this video was Qin Chuan's office, starting from Yang Xiaohui knocking on the door and entering, to Zhao Shaojun leading people in, including all the subsequent scenes and dialogue.

The picture was very clear, and the audio was also distinct.

This...

Zhao Shaojun's expression became even more unsightly. He asked sharply, "Speak, what do you want? Name a price!"

He thought Qin Chuan had brought this video to blackmail him.

Qin Chuan only gave a cold smile, "Secretary Zhao, there's another video. I think you'll be even more interested in that one."

After saying that, Qin Chuan opened another video.

The scene in the video was inside a hotel room. As soon as Zhao Shaojun saw it, he knew that his tryst with Yang Xiaohui in Room 1208 of the Sanjiang Hotel had been secretly recorded.

He never imagined that Qin Chuan would have two such videos in his possession.

Very quickly, his face turned somewhat pale.

With the first video, he could still quibble that it had nothing to do with him and push everything onto Yang Xiaohui, making her the scapegoat.

The second video was far more fatal.

Not only did it involve lifestyle and moral issues—since he had a family—but it also proved that the mastermind behind the scenes was him, Zhao Shaojun, and that he had instructed Yang Xiaohui to set a trap to frame Qin Chuan.

How would the organization view a County Party Secretary setting a trap to frame a Township Party Committee Secretary? They would certainly handle it with extreme severity.

Add to that the fact that his father was currently under 'taken away for investigation' investigation; at this moment, the matter appeared increasingly grave.

It's all over!

Zhao Shaojun immediately softened his stance, even sounding somewhat pleading, "Comrade Qin Chuan, how about giving me a break?"

"Rest assured, from now on I will absolutely never oppose you. I will support you in everything, and it will be unconditional support. Additionally, I can provide you with some financial compensation."

Qin Chuan gave a playful smile, "Secretary Zhao, how much money can you compensate me with?"

Oh!

Zhao Shaojun was taken aback, but once he realized what was happening, he felt a surge of joy. He hadn't expected Qin Chuan to like money.

This was good.

He felt a small sense of surprise and delight. He had originally thought the matter would be extremely thorny, but he hadn't expected it could actually be resolved with money.

"Comrade Qin Chuan, you're not bad; your awareness is quite high. Don't worry, my promise of unconditional support won't change, and I'll give you another five million as financial compensation."

Qin Chuan gently shook his head.

Zhao Shaojun thought the money was too little and immediately said, "Eight million. How about eight million?"

Qin Chuan continued to shake his head.

"Ten million! Ten million should be enough, right!"

Qin Chuan said, "Secretary Zhao, I didn't realize you were quite wealthy."

"However, I'm someone who doesn't have much interest in money."

What!

You're playing with me!!!

Zhao Shaojun's face began to show anger. Damn it, after talking so much, you end up saying 'I'm not interested in money.'

"Qin Chuan, what exactly do you want? At worst, we'll both go down together. No one will have a good time."

This was a threat.

He wanted to use this to intimidate Qin Chuan.

But he was overthinking it; how could Qin Chuan be intimidated by him?

"Secretary Zhao, the fish will certainly die, but as for whether the net breaks, I don't know. Threatening me is useless. To tell you the truth, I've already sent several copies of these videos to the city and the province. Looking at the time, the people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection should be arriving very soon. You'd better look out for yourself."

After saying that, Qin Chuan didn't even want the USB drive; he stood up and left.

Zhao Shaojun's entire face was pale. He never imagined Qin Chuan would be so ruthless as to give the videos to the city and the province.

Not long after Qin Chuan left—ten minutes at most—several vehicles from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection drove into the Sanjiang County Party Committee and Government compound. The one leading them was none other than the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Following Secretary Guo Shunmin's requirements, the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection personally led the team to implement 'taken away for investigation' on Zhao Shaojun.

Because the commotion was somewhat large, it quickly attracted the attention of many people.

"Look, that's the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection!"

"What are the people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection doing here? Something big is probably about to happen!"

Under the fearful and respectful gazes of many, the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection led the team directly into the office building and walked all the way to the County Party Secretary's door.

Pushing the door open, he immediately saw the pale-faced Zhao Shaojun.

"Zhao Shaojun, you set a trap to frame Comrade Qin Chuan. Additionally, you are suspected of other serious disciplinary violations. On behalf of the Municipal Party Committee, I am placing you under 'taken away for investigation'!"

Although he had guessed this moment might come, when it actually arrived, Zhao Shaojun still couldn't accept it. His whole body went limp.

Two staff members from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, one on each side, dragged Zhao Shaojun away like a dead dog, dragging him all the way into the car.

Many people saw this scene with their own eyes.

As soon as the vehicles from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection left, the entire County Party Committee compound exploded with chatter.

"Zhao Shaojun has been placed under 'taken away for investigation'!"

"The rumors that he set a trap to frame Secretary Qin Chuan seem to be true!"

"He deserves it! As the County Party Secretary, using such underhanded tactics—if they don't arrest him, who would they arrest!"

"..."

Standing in front of the window, County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong saw with his own eyes Zhao Shaojun being dragged into the car and taken away, and his heart felt slightly invigorated.

Zhao Shaojun had fallen!

The position of County Party Secretary was now vacant. This time, no matter what, I must sit in that position. I must.

Well, next, besides going to the Municipal Party Committee to pull strings, the most important thing is to obtain Comrade Qin Chuan's support...

Standing in front of the window, he thought of many things all at once.

Dahe Township.

The general meeting reached its climax, and the atmosphere was incredibly heated.

After everyone finished watching that video, they all knew that Secretary Qin Chuan had been framed. Everyone was happy and relieved.

Of course, except for Yang Xiaohui.

Her face was somewhat pale. She never imagined the matter would be exposed so quickly, and that a video had even been filmed.

Her heart was in a state of sheer panic.

But thinking about having Zhao Shaojun behind her, she felt much better.

She thought to herself that Zhao Shaojun was the County Party Secretary and had powerful connections and a background in the province; he would surely handle this matter well.

However, her hopes were quickly shattered.

Ma Zhengnan, who was presiding over the meeting, received a text message. After picking it up and looking at it, his joy was beyond words.

The message was sent by Qin Chuan, stating that Zhao Shaojun had been placed under 'taken away for investigation' by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

This was truly wonderful news.

Ma Zhengnan held the microphone and stood on the rostrum, saying loudly, "Comrades, everyone please quiet down. I have some good news to share with you!"

Quickly, the Auditorium fell silent, and two or three hundred pairs of eyes all looked at Ma Zhengnan.

Ma Zhengnan said loudly, "Comrades, just now, personally led by the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhao Shaojun has been placed under 'taken away for investigation'!"

"In addition to setting a trap to frame Secretary Qin Chuan, Zhao Shaojun has a series of other serious corruption and disciplinary issues. He will be severely punished by the law!"

What!

The Auditorium fell into a brief silence because the impact of this news was simply too great.

After a brief silence.

Boom!

The entire hall became completely boisterous!!!
