236: Chapter 236 Organization Minister Ling Yun is a Big Corrupt Official

Yesterday, Secretary Pei Yuantao came to Wanshun County for a field inspection and research. Early this morning, Qin Chuan saw three new updates refreshed by the system.

1. Secretary Pei Yuantao is truly afraid that you will use the Qin Family's power to target him. He is completely terrified and just wants to beg for mercy; there will be further gestures of goodwill later.

2. Ling Yun only wants to cling to Secretary Pei Yuantao's coattails. This morning, he will go to the provincial capital to visit Secretary Pei Yuantao, but he will be met with a closed door; the man simply won't see him.

3. Ling Yun has worked in the Organization Department for many years, serving successively as section chief, deputy head, executive deputy head, and head. He has always engaged in buying and selling official positions, with fixed prices: starting at 500,000 for deputy section level and 2 million for section level. He has accepted huge amounts of illicit money and owns six properties and four storefronts in the provincial capital...

Seeing the system's information, Qin Chuan was greatly shocked, especially by the third point.

He did not expect that Ling Yun was a hidden big parasite, with corruption amounts reaching 20 to 30 million. The system is truly formidable.

It clearly listed what assets Ling Yun has, how much money is in his bank accounts, and whom he mainly took money from.

Heh.

As long as Ling Yun behaved himself, he had originally considered letting him off the hook. It seems he had been too merciful. To think he embezzled so much money, and was still thinking about clinging to Secretary Pei Yuantao's coattails—he could not be let off.

In fact, yesterday, Qin Chuan could already see that Ling Yun wanted to cling to those coattails, but Secretary Pei Yuantao did not give him the chance. To think he still hadn't given up and was preparing to go to the provincial capital today.

After starting work, while sitting in front of the computer in his office, Qin Chuan did it himself, typing out a list with a flurry of clicks, printing it out, and sealing it in an envelope.

This list was almost a full page long.

It detailed what fixed assets Ling Yun had, which residential compound each property was in, the building and unit numbers, how many bank cards he had under his name, how much money was in each card, whom he mainly accepted money from, the amounts, as well as dates and locations.

The list even detailed that Ling Yun had hidden several million in cash inside a coffin in his hometown.

These were all ironclad proofs. Once handed over to the Discipline Inspection Commission, Ling Yun would be doomed.

Putting the envelope into his pocket, Qin Chuan prepared to go to the Municipal Party Committee to report to Secretary Kang, using the excuse that he had received a whistleblowing letter and these were the contents of that letter.

Before going to Ningzhou City, Qin Chuan made a call to summon Ling Yun.

"Department Head Ling Yun, come to my office."

Upon receiving this call, Ling Yun felt a vague sense of unease. He guessed to himself, "Did I appear too eager to cling to those coattails yesterday? Is that Qin fellow dissatisfied and calling me over specifically to give me a warning?"

Yeah, that's likely it.

Holding this guess, Ling Yun knocked on the door and walked into the office of the County Party Secretary, putting on a very respectful attitude, "Secretary Qin, you wanted to see me?"

Qin Chuan nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "He's putting on quite an act; I almost got fooled by you."

"Department Head Ling Yun, you said yesterday that you were Deputy County Party Secretary Pei Lin's best friend in Wanshun County. What is this all about? I need an explanation."

Ling Yun hurriedly said, "Secretary, listen to my explanation. I was muddled at the time. Actually, it was always Deputy County Party Secretary Pei Lin trying to woo me. I didn't agree. In my heart, there is only Secretary Qin, and I have always been actively trying to align myself with you..."

He engaged in a string of sophistry, speaking eloquently, and even expressed his loyalty once again.

Qin Chuan watched his performance indifferently, not believing a single word. This guy was a two-faced person who said one thing and did another.

After he finished his sophistry, Qin Chuan said with a serious face, "Department Head Ling Yun, someone reported to me that you have been buying and selling official positions and accepting huge amounts of illicit money from them. Is this true?"

Immediately, cold sweat almost broke out.

Because he really did have such things, and the amounts were exceptionally large.

Of course, Ling Yun would not admit it. He put on a look of being wronged and aggrieved, "Secretary Qin, I, Ling Yun, am honest and upright, conducting affairs fairly and impartially. I have never accepted a single cent of illicit benefits. I can guarantee this to the organization."

"I must have offended some people who hold a grudge and thus reported me maliciously. Secretary Qin, who reported me? I can confront them face-to-face."

Qin Chuan chuckled internally; this guy was really good at acting.

"It's best if you haven't. If such things are true, I will be the first one not to let you off."

"I guarantee there isn't. It is definitely someone reporting maliciously." Ling Yun patted his chest to guarantee it.

After giving him a warning and watching Ling Yun's personal performance, he finally let him leave.

After exiting the County Party Secretary's office, Ling Yun let out a quiet sigh of relief and took out a tissue to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Fortunately, my mental fortitude is strong, and I didn't give myself away. Damn it, who exactly is reporting me behind my back? If I find out, I'll destroy them."

The top priority is to cling to Secretary Pei Yuantao's thick coattails as soon as possible. If I can help him out in this matter involving Deputy County Party Secretary Pei Lin, then a promotion is certain.

Right, I can't delay. I must go to the provincial capital to visit Secretary Pei immediately.

A while later, Xia Hai knocked on the door and entered.

"Secretary, just a moment ago, Department Head Ling Yun left by car. I inquired, and it seems he went to the provincial capital."

Qin Chuan just smiled slightly; everything was within his expectations.

"Mm, I know," Qin Chuan said. "I need to make a trip to the city to report work to Secretary Kang. Notify Xiao Peng to get the car ready."

In less than ten minutes, the County Party Committee's number one vehicle left the compound, heading toward Ningzhou.

Around eleven o'clock in the morning, Qin Chuan knocked and entered the office of the Municipal Party Secretary. Secretary Kang Kewu had not long returned from the provincial capital.

Seeing that it was Qin Chuan who knocked and entered, he nodded slightly, "Comrade Qin Chuan is here, please sit."

Qin Chuan sat down on the sofa and first reported the matter of Secretary Pei Yuantao coming to Wanshun County for inspection and research yesterday.

Secretary Kang Kewu listened attentively. After listening, he analyzed, "It seems that Secretary Pei Yuantao does not look like he intends to settle scores later. Perhaps, the matter of Deputy County Party Secretary Pei Lin getting on CCTV has made Secretary Pei Yuantao wary, and he dares not do anything to you all."

Qin Chuan didn't say anything, just nodded.

He couldn't say that his family background was heaven-reaching, that Secretary Pei Yuantao was afraid, and that he had begged him for mercy and asked to be let off.

Next, he reported on some work-related matters, and finally, Qin Chuan took out the envelope he had prepared.

"Secretary Kang, we received a report that Department Head Ling Yun is suspected of serious corruption. This is his corruption situation; please take a look."

Taking the envelope, Secretary Kang Kewu only glanced at the contents inside, and his expression gradually changed.
