334: Chapter 334 Resisting censorship? It's useless!

Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao was taken away.

He wasn't taken back to the capital for investigation; instead, he was investigated locally in Jiangbei Province, specifically at the Jiangbei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Interestingly, Deputy Party Secretary Liao Deyuan was also being investigated here.

Because he had already gathered a lot of evidence, Qin Chuan temporarily handed the interrogation over to his subordinates. Little did he know, the first interrogation went very poorly.

Old Liu came over to report, looking very angry.

"Director, this Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao isn't cooperating with the investigation at all. He's determined to resist to the end; it's impossible to continue the interrogation."

Another comrade involved in the interrogation suggested, "Director Qin, since we already have a vast amount of evidence anyway, we can just proceed with a zero-confession case. There's no need for Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao to confess his crimes."

Qin Chuan shook his head slightly and waved his hand. "Let's go. I'll interrogate him personally and see just how tough he really is!"

Soon, Qin Chuan, accompanied by several staff members from the Discipline Inspection Commission including Old Liu, personally interrogated Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao.

Upon seeing Qin Chuan, Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao shot him a contemptuous look.

He had completely given up; it didn't matter who interrogated him. As long as he said nothing, that old leader in the capital would surely intervene. Persistence meant victory.

Qin Chuan seemed to see through Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao's thoughts and smiled disdainfully. If that was the case, he was overthinking it. Resisting an organizational investigation was useless.

"Yang Qimao, you know our policy: severity for resistance and leniency for confession. Your blind resistance to the organizational investigation is completely useless. I advise you to truthfully confess your issues to the organization; that is your only way out."

Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao still didn't say a word, merely giving Qin Chuan another contemptuous look. He truly was as stubborn as a mule.

Heh.

Qin Chuan sneered inwardly. It seemed he needed to present some hard facts.

"Yang Qimao, since you don't want to confess, I won't force you. You're the one throwing away the chance to confess and reduce your punishment. Don't regret it later."

"If you don't want to talk, then don't. You can remain silent. I'll tell you about your corruption, and you can just listen."

"According to our preliminary investigation, you lead a corrupt lifestyle, chasing pleasure and engaging in promiscuous relationships. Based on what we know, you have at least 17 mistresses. Old Liu, give the list to Governor Yang and let him see if our investigation is accurate."

A list was placed in front of Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao, containing names, ages, positions, and even basic introductions and color photos of each person.

This was beyond ridiculous!

How did they investigate so thoroughly? Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao's expression finally changed slightly, but he still didn't say a word.

Qin Chuan continued, "Yang Qimao, you also accepted massive amounts of money and property. We've found a total of six bank accounts linked to you..."

Qin Chuan held nothing back, stating the bank, balance, and account holder name for each account, as well as the relationship between the account holder and Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao.

Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao's expression changed even more drastically.

Qin Chuan didn't stop, continuing to detail Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao's corruption. He was so specific that even Old Liu and the others were unaware of many of the details.

Old Liu and the others didn't have any doubts. As the Deputy Director of the 6th Inspection Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and with the vast platform of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection behind him, it was normal for Director Qin to know these things.

Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao finally broke.

All of this was true, without a single falsehood. He believed the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection had already uncovered a vast amount of detail regarding his corruption. Even if he didn't confess, he might be executed, or at the very least receive a death sentence with a two-year reprieve.

He definitely had to take the initiative to confess, strive to perform meritorious service, and try to reduce his punishment—for example, changing a suspended death sentence to life imprisonment, or life to a fixed term.

"Director Qin, I confess to the organization. I will truthfully account for all my corruption issues."

Qin Chuan sneered, "Yang Qimao, I gave you a chance at the beginning, but you didn't know how to cherish it. It's too late now."

Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao grew anxious. "Director Qin, I was confused just now. I'll confess, I really will. Please give me this chance."

Seeing this, Qin Chuan sneered again. "Yang Qimao, do you think I'll give you that chance?"

Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao practically begged; he really didn't want to die. "Director Qin, I was wrong, I was truly wrong. Please give me a chance."

The others were shocked to see Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao like this.

Hadn't he been acting all stubborn and refusing to confess, not even saying a word? How long had it been? In less than twenty minutes, he was begging to confess.

Impressive! Director Qin is truly impressive!

Old Liu and the others were so impressed they almost prostrated themselves in admiration.

Qin Chuan glanced at Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao and said calmly, "Old Liu, I'll leave the rest of the interrogation to you all."

Old Liu promised loudly, "Rest assured, Director! We will definitely get everything out of him!"

Because of Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao's proactive confession, the investigation team became busy, and relevant personnel were invited one after another to "drink tea."

The entire officialdom of Jiangbei Province was shaken.

CCTV also broadcast the news of Executive Vice Governor Yang Qimao's investigation. A few days later, once everything had been cleared up, Qin Chuan and the others returned to the capital.

After returning, things seemed to relax again, with no major incidents.

He went to work every day and spent time with his wife after work. Zhu Qingxi's belly grew larger by the day.

Party Secretary Qian Gang was aware of the situation and showed Qin Chuan special consideration. During this time, he basically didn't let Qin Chuan leave the capital for major cases, allowing him to stay in the city as much as possible to be with his wife and family.

Today, after work, Qin Chuan even accompanied his wife for a few laps around the neighborhood. The doctor had said that pregnant women should get appropriate exercise, such as walking.

After dinner, Qin Chuan sat on the living room sofa, watched the CCTV news for a while, and then took a few phone calls.

Lately, Qin Chuan rarely went out at night, turning down social invitations whenever possible. Feeling a bit bored, he decided to watch a Mens National Football Team World Cup qualifier.

Qin Chuan watched football occasionally, but not often. He used to be a fan of the Mens National Football Team, but they were so disappointing that he gradually stopped watching.

Today, bored, he sat on the sofa and watched a Mens National Football Team match.

He regretted it after finishing. What kind of garbage was that? It was so bad he felt like smashing the TV. They actually lost three-nil to a weak team—can you believe it?

Qin Chuan grumbled as he washed up and went to bed with his wife. Meanwhile, the internet was in an uproar; even though it was past 11 PM, news and comments were flying everywhere.

The next day.

Qin Chuan went to work as usual, not giving yesterday's football match another thought. Around 10 AM, Party Secretary Qian Gang called.

"Xiao Qin, are you free? Come to my office for a moment."
