254: Chapter 254 System upgrade complete, with incredible functions.

Picking up the phone to take a look, it was a call from Comrade Qin Chuan.

"Comrade Qin Chuan, is there any progress? What is Chairman Chen's opinion? Did he agree?"

As soon as the call connected, questions fired off like a machine gun in a single breath; it was evident how much pressure Secretary Kang Kewu was under at this moment, like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw.

Even from such a distance, Qin Chuan seemed to feel Secretary Kang's mood on the other end of the phone. He smiled slightly, "Secretary, fortunately, I did not fail my mission. Chairman Chen has already agreed. He will leave these scammers entirely to Ningzhou to handle and will not intervene."

"Good, good, that's wonderful." Secretary Kang Kewu said 'good' several times in a row before finally putting down the phone.

In an instant, the pressure on him vanished.

His whole being appeared relaxed and full of vigor.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Secretary Kang Kewu said with full confidence, "Rest assured, within ten days at most, this money will be recovered."

Really?!

This surprise was simply too great!

Although they had come to apply pressure, they also knew the hope was slim; they hadn't expected the money could be recovered within ten days.

The joy in their hearts was so immense it even felt surreal.

One big boss couldn't help but ask loudly, "Secretary Kang, is this true? I didn't hear wrong, did I?"

Secretary Kang Kewu said with absolute certainty, "You didn't hear wrong. In ten days at most, this money will be recovered. We are completely certain."

Hearing such a clear promise, the atmosphere in the entire reception room changed instantly. These bosses began to speak words of flattery, sucking up to the Municipal Party Committee Secretary.

The news gradually spread. After learning that the money could be recovered, the troublemaking ceased; everyone was waiting for the funds to arrive in their accounts.

After seeing these people off, Secretary Kang Kewu made a special call to the province to report this gratifying situation.

When the Provincial Party Committee leaders learned it was Qin Chuan's contribution again, they couldn't help but offer praise over the phone, saying Little Qin was a good comrade.

Wanshun County.

After Qin Chuan and Chairman Chen Zhixun basically finalized some investment details, the two had lunch together. However, they didn't drink alcohol, opting for soft drinks instead.

In the afternoon, Qin Chuan took Chairman Chen Zhixun for a walk around, primarily to select a site for the factory. In the evening, Qin Chuan led all the leadership team members to accompany Chairman Chen Zhixun for drinks.

Upon hearing that Chairman Chen planned to invest 26 billion in Wanshun County to establish the country's largest cable manufacturing plant, every county leader was beaming with joy.

County Mayor Sheng Huaian was the first to raise his glass. He stood up and said very formally, "Chairman Chen, on behalf of the Wanshun County Government, I thank you for your investment. I'll drain this glass; you drink as you please."

After saying that, he downed the full glass in one go.

Since the other party had finished it in one go, Chairman Chen Zhixun couldn't be too casual and drank about a third of his.

Starting from County Mayor Sheng Huaian, the leaders of Wanshun County toasted Chairman Chen Zhixun one by one, all draining their glasses in one go.

In the end, Chairman Chen Zhixun got drunk again. Although he only took one sip each time, he couldn't withstand the sheer number of people; even his assistant ended up just as drunk.

Qin Chuan was fine and in high spirits.

After the meal, he returned to his suite, took a shower, and checked the time. It was still a bit early before midnight.

Next, he had a video call with Zhu Qingxi, chatting for over an hour, then watched TV and played on his phone until 12:00 AM.

"Ding!"

"System update complete!!!"

As soon as the time arrived, that sound rang in Qin Chuan's mind. He immediately felt a bit excited and quickly opened the system.

The entire system had undergone significant changes.

The function of 1 to 3 messages per day was still retained, but after the upgrade, a search function was added. This could make up for the randomness of message pushes, allowing for more precise inquiries—unlike message pushes where you had no idea what information the system would provide beforehand.

Search Function Description: You can query information on anyone within the system, including corruption status, relationship networks, background, superior-subordinate relationships, and more.

This was incredibly powerful, practically heaven-defying.

This meant that no one within the system could keep any secrets from Qin Chuan. As long as he searched, none of their secrets could remain hidden.

After reading the description of the search function, Qin Chuan wanted to test it out. He immediately entered Zhang Qun's name and position. Very quickly, a massive amount of information regarding Zhang Qun appeared.

My God, it's so detailed!

It spanned dozens of pages. Besides a large amount of text and data, there were also pictures, videos, and so on. Crucially, these items could be connected wirelessly to nearby computers or networks and downloaded onto those devices.

Qin Chuan checked the information with great interest, and gradually, his expression changed slightly.

He hadn't expected Zhang Qun to be such a massive parasite. The amount of corruption exceeded one hundred million, with the largest single sum being a full fifty million received from the scammer Liu Cheng.

He really dared to take it—fifty million!

Besides the corruption, his family situation was also clear. His wife was still in the country, but his son had already settled in the United States, living in a luxury mansion and driving luxury cars. There were several photos of the luxury cars and mansion.

Furthermore, even the number of mistresses was clearly listed with names and photos, along with videos of Zhang Qun with them. There were pictures and prices of the designer bags he gave them. Two of them were within the system; in exchange for future promotions, there was information on how he helped them operate and put in a good word for every advancement.

It was simply too detailed.

He absolutely loved this system.

There was simply too much material. Just flipping through it without a deep, detailed look took nearly a full hour.

Seeing that it was late, Qin Chuan finally went to bed to rest.

...

Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The staff interrogated Zhang Qun once again.

After a few days, Zhang Qun looked nothing like before. He was unshaven, his hair was as messy as a bird's nest, and he looked completely dejected.

"Zhang Qun, we hope you will honestly confess your issues and stop stubbornly opposing the organization."

For the past few days, Zhang Qun had been like a stone in a latrine—smelly and hard. He hadn't confessed a single thing about his own problems. The only thing he admitted was that he was also deceived, that he had no idea Liu Cheng and the others were scammers, and that he was a victim too.

Because Chairman Chen Zhixun promised not to intervene and left Liu Cheng and the other scammers entirely to Ningzhou City for trial, the situation over there was going well. Not only had they started transferring back the money moved to overseas accounts, but they also confessed to a certain matter.

To thank Zhang Qun, Liu Cheng had given him fifty million in cash. The time and location were all clearly stated.

Having obtained this information, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection interrogated Zhang Qun once more.

As for Zhang Qun, he was still his old self—smelly and hard, saying nothing.

"Zhang Qun, Liu Cheng has already confessed. You received fifty million in kickbacks from him, which he delivered in cash to your villa. Is that right?"

Zhang Qun glanced at the people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and then flatly denied it, "No, there's no such thing at all."
