293: Chapter 293 Governor Su, please come for tea

Why was it necessary to talk with the primary comrades of the Northwest Province first before Qin Chuan led his people over to announce to Governor Su Qi that he was being taken away for investigation?

After all, it involved a sitting governor. Before he was taken away for investigation, informing the Provincial Party Secretary was a sign of respect for the main leadership of the Northwest Province and a rule of officialdom.

If the Provincial Party Secretary was kept in the dark while the governor was taken away for investigation, it would be disrespectful, and they might have objections.

After Party Secretary Qian Gang left, Qin Chuan waited for about ten minutes until all the work was properly arranged. Then, he took Secretary Lu Wangshu and several others to the governor's office.

The group of five, all in white short-sleeved shirts with national emblems on their chests, was quite eye-catching.

One look and you could tell they were people from within the system.

The way was clear, although they attracted a lot of attention, and some people couldn't help but whisper.

"Which department are they from? They're heading towards the floor where the governor's office is!"

"They look like people from the Discipline Inspection Commission, but I know basically everyone from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and they aren't among them!"

"..."

Led by Qin Chuan, followed by Secretary Lu Wangshu and four others, they soon arrived at the entrance of the governor's office.

The governor's secretary recognized Qin Chuan and the others and thought they were there for tea. This morning, Governor Su Qi had invited them to his office for tea, saying he had some good tea leaves.

But it also felt a bit off.

If they were just coming for a visit and some tea, Qin Chuan could have come alone, or at most with one or two people. There were so many of them.

Perhaps it was about Su Liang's matter; maybe they wanted to talk and communicate with the boss.

The governor's secretary went to meet them. "Director Qin, are you looking for the governor?"

"Yes, we are looking for Governor Su."

The governor's secretary said, "The governor is in his office, but he has an important meeting to chair in twenty minutes."

The meaning was clear: keep it brief, the governor is very busy, and you only have twenty minutes at most.

At this time, Governor Su Qi was in his office, but his expression was a bit unsightly.

Not long ago, at the briefing for the Heishanzi corruption case, Party Secretary Qian Gang had not given him any face and had questioned him in front of so many leaders.

This made him very angry. He hadn't dared to show it then, but now that he was alone, his face was dark, and he was even cursing in his heart.

Damn it, he didn't give me any face at all.

We'll see. I can't do anything to you now, but it's hard to say about the future. I don't believe there won't be an opportunity later...

While he was thinking this, there was a knock on the door. Governor Su Qi immediately pulled back his thoughts, his expression softened slightly, and he said loudly, "Come in!"

He thought the person knocking must be his secretary or someone coming to report on work, so he didn't pay much attention.

Little did he know, the person who pushed the door open was Qin Chuan.

And it wasn't just one person; behind Qin Chuan were four others, all from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. This was a bit frightening.

Seeing this, Governor Su Qi had a sudden bad premonition. They wouldn't be here to arrest me, would they? No, impossible.

My affairs are very hidden and handled cleanly. There hasn't been a single sign. It shouldn't have anything to do with me; it's likely about Su Liang.

After convincing himself of this, Governor Su Qi's worries lessened significantly. He stood up and said warmly, "Director Qin, please sit. What would you like to drink?"

Knowing Qin Chuan's powerful background, even though he was the governor, he didn't dare to put on any airs and appeared very warm.

To his surprise, Qin Chuan's expression was very serious. "Governor Su, there's no need to make tea. I'm here this time to invite you to drink tea."

"Invite me to drink tea? What tea!"

Governor Su Qi was clearly stunned for a moment.

Seeing that he hadn't understood yet, Qin Chuan gave Xiao Li and the other young man a look. The two understood and stepped forward, one on each side.

Governor Su Qi felt something was wrong. "Director Qin, what is the meaning of this?"

His tone finally carried a hint of dissatisfaction and anger. "I am a grand governor; what kind of game are you playing?"

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Governor Su, I now officially announce on behalf of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that you are suspected of serious corruption. You are now officially taken away for investigation. Please come with us."

What!

taken away for investigation!

After realizing what was happening, Governor Su Qi's reaction was intense. He no longer cared about the background behind Qin Chuan and shouted sharply, "On what grounds? On what grounds are you taking me away for investigation? I want to see Party Secretary Qian Gang. Have him come personally; you are not qualified."

Qin Chuan didn't waste any words with him and waved his hand. "Take him away!"

Xiao Li and the other man flanked Governor Su Qi and hauled him away.

If the other party had cooperated and behaved honestly, Qin Chuan would have been prepared to give him some face and take him away quietly to avoid making a scene.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't cooperate at all and was even shouting. In that case, don't blame me for not giving you face and forcibly taking you away in front of so many people in the Provincial Government.

"Let go of me!"

"Get Party Secretary Qian Gang here! I want to see Party Secretary Qian Gang!"

"This is a frame-up! This is a setup!"

Because of Governor Su Qi's shouting, there was a huge commotion. Many people came out to look and saw an unbelievable scene: Governor Su was actually being hauled away by force.

Some of Governor Su Qi's die-hard loyalists saw this and actually came out to stop them, blocking the path of Qin Chuan and his group, questioning them sternly.

"Who are you people? What are you trying to do!"

Qin Chuan took out his ID and slapped it down. "We are from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Governor Su Qi is suspected of serious corruption and is now being taken away for investigation!"

Wh... what!

From the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection!!!

No matter how stubborn they were, they didn't dare to be reckless in the face of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. They immediately stepped aside in silence. They knew Governor Su was finished, and as his confidants, they were also in danger.

Governor Su Qi was taken away, put into a car, and left the Provincial Government Compound.

The entire Provincial Government exploded!

The governor had actually been taken away for investigation. Almost everyone temporarily lost interest in their work and was talking about this matter. Most people had a spectator's mentality, but a few began to panic. Would they be the next one taken away?

That day's CCTV news broadcast the message that Northwest Province Governor Su Qi had been taken away for investigation and was undergoing an organizational inquiry. The same news appeared on the official website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

A Ministerial-level official being arrested with corruption exceeding 800 million yuan immediately became hot news, with extensive reporting on the internet and in newspapers.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection formed an Investigation Team to conduct a comprehensive investigation into Governor Su Qi's issues, with Qin Chuan serving as the leader, making many people envious.

This would also add a brilliant stroke to Qin Chuan's political career and was a massive achievement. Even as a member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the opportunity to take away and investigate a sitting governor was very rare.
