363: Chapter 363 Secretary Qin, Give Me Some Face

This was just an ordinary restaurant, an ordinary private room.

Compared to Secretary Wang Kaiming and his group, the difference was like night and day. Qin Chuan and his team didn't drink, and the seven or eight of them only spent about a thousand yuan.

After they had finished eating, Director Chen Guang, the leader of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection investigation team, brought it up: "Secretary Qin, could we take a look at the anonymous tip-off letter that someone slipped into your room?"

Up until now, they hadn't seen this material yet.

But this was on the direct orders of Party Secretary Qian Gang. They had arrived in Guangdong Province as quickly as possible, knowing that the subject of their investigation was a member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee and the Guangzhou Municipal Party Secretary, Secretary Wang Kaiming.

To be honest, they were both excited and a little worried.

They were excited because the subject of the investigation was a vice-ministerial level official, the Guangzhou Municipal Party Secretary, but they were worried about how much substantive evidence this anonymous material could actually provide.

This was also the reason they had come quietly, without alerting the enemy. If they had made a big scene and let everyone know, it would be bad if the tip-off material turned out to have limited leads.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly and took the thick file out of his briefcase. "Director Chen, why don't you take a look first?"

Everyone was slightly surprised; it was so thick, appearing to be at least thirty or forty pages.

Director Chen Guang took it and flipped through it, his expression clearly turning excited. After flipping through a few more pages, he carefully placed it into his briefcase.

"Secretary Qin, with such detailed material, we will definitely turn Secretary Wang Kaiming inside out within three to five days."

"Good, then I'll wait for your good news. Such a corrupt official really cannot be left alone. His daughter is named Wang Shanshan, the main character of yesterday's pedestrian street incident."

Director Chen Guang nodded. "It's outrageous. The notice issued by the Chengnan Branch Bureau had a terrible impact; the internet is flooded with criticism right now."

The group chatted for a bit and then parted ways after the meal.

Director Chen Guang, Secretary Lu Wangshu, and Old Liu, of course, immediately threw themselves into their work, beginning a series of investigations, while Qin Chuan prepared to return to the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department.

Wang Shanshan had already been arrested; her corrupt official of a father would likely come in person, right?

At noon, Secretary Wang Kaiming's secretary called to invite him to sit in Secretary Wang's office. Qin Chuan knew the other party's purpose and refused immediately.

Who would have thought that before he even reached the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department, his phone would ring. It was a call from Director Du Qingbo, saying that Secretary Wang was at the Provincial Public Security Department, waiting for Qin Chuan to come over.

After hanging up, Qin Chuan gave a cold smile. This Secretary Wang Kaiming had actually come in person to fish his daughter out.

Heh, even if you come in person, it won't work!

He really had a big ego; he didn't call himself, but made Director Du Qingbo call instead.

A while later, Qin Chuan arrived at the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department. In a reception room, he saw Secretary Wang Kaiming in person for the first time, with Director Du Qingbo and several other Provincial Public Security Department leaders carefully accompanying him.

Secretary Wang Kaiming looked younger than his actual age, appearing to be about fifty, though in reality he was nearly sixty; he was very well-preserved.

Seeing Qin Chuan enter, Director Du Qingbo immediately stood up and proactively introduced them: "Secretary Qin, this is Secretary Wang Kaiming."

Secretary Wang Kaiming remained seated on the sofa without getting up, only nodding—fully adopting the posture of a superior meeting a subordinate. "Qin Chuan, you are truly young, even younger than I imagined."

The other party was striking a pose of leadership, so Secretary Qin Chuan had no intention of stepping forward to shake his hand. He nodded slightly, sat down on the sofa, and replied, "Secretary Wang, you are also younger than I imagined."

No joy or anger could be seen on Secretary Wang Kaiming's face, but in reality, he was extremely dissatisfied. Dammit, he didn't know the rules at all. A small vice-departmental level official, meeting me, a vice-ministerial level official—what attitude should he use? Did he not know this?

Ultimately, he was still too young; a typical case of youthful arrogance.

While dissatisfied, Secretary Wang Kaiming also thought to himself: since he was young and arrogant, his experience was relatively lacking, which would make him easy to manipulate.

After the two sides chatted for a few sentences, Secretary Wang Kaiming brought up the main topic.

"Comrade Qin Chuan, the reason I came over this time is mainly for my daughter's matter. The little girl doesn't know any better and was a bit impulsive; I hope you'll excuse her."

Heh.

Wang Shanshan was almost thirty years old, yet in his mouth, she was still a "little girl."

Qin Chuan reminded him, "Secretary Wang, your daughter's actions aren't as simple as being impulsive. She was simply arrogant, overbearing, assaulted the police, and verbally abused the police. I made the call to have her arrested."

Secretary Wang Kaiming laughed it off. "Secretary Qin, that's too serious. My daughter just has a straightforward temperament; she doesn't actually have any bad intentions. I'll take her back in a moment and will definitely criticize her."

Qin Chuan smiled. He really didn't even seek his consent, clearly showing his attitude that he was going to take her back.

Today, you are not taking her!

"Secretary Wang, I'm afraid that won't do. Besides assaulting the police and verbally abusing the police, she has many other issues, such as drug use, group orgies, and so on. We must investigate these issues thoroughly."

Saying that his daughter used drugs and especially engaged in group orgies in front of so many people made Secretary Wang Kaiming lose face a bit.

A dignified vice-ministerial level official, doesn't he need face?

His expression changed slightly, but he endured it for the time being, his tone as calm as possible. "Comrade Qin Chuan, we are all people within the system; how about you do me a favor?"

You, a major corrupt official, a piece of trash about to go inside to work on a sewing machine, do you even deserve me doing you a favor!

Qin Chuan said with a stern face, "That, I'm afraid, is not possible. We must investigate Wang Shanshan's issues thoroughly."

Since things had reached this point, there was basically no possibility of reaching an agreement.

Secretary Wang Kaiming stopped pretending; his face turned completely dark, and his whole body radiated authority. "You little comrade, why are you so impulsive in your work? You don't care about the impact at all, do you not think about the consequences?"

Qin Chuan countered tit-for-tat, "Secretary Wang, I don't think I'm impulsive at all; my mind is very clear. On the contrary, it is you who are using your influence to interfere time and time again; I'm afraid that's not appropriate."

The facade was completely torn off!

Secretary Wang Kaiming stood up, stared at Qin Chuan, and threatened, "Fine, young people these days really are newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers."

After saying this, he left with a dark face.

The entire reception room was silent.

The leaders of the Provincial Public Security Department never expected that Secretary Qin Chuan would be so tough; facing a vice-ministerial official with real power, he was actually so badass.

Some people broke into a cold sweat for Qin Chuan, thinking worriedly: Comrade Qin Chuan, aren't you afraid that Secretary Wang will deal with you?

Director Du Qingbo had a bitter face. "Secretary Qin, you shouldn't have completely offended Secretary Wang over Wang Shanshan's matter. Now, there is no way back."

Qin Chuan said, "Since there is no way back, then I will follow this path to the end. Do you dare to walk with me? It is said that Wang Shanshan has many problems; you give me the lead in investigating these problems clearly first. Do you dare!"
