52: Chapter 52 Framing

Since he knew this was a frame-up, he could make some preparations in advance.

For instance, he could install that set of pinhole camera equipment he had lying idle.

Back when he was in Jinzhu Township, Qin Chuan had been framed and almost took the fall, so he had bought this pinhole camera equipment. He hadn't expected to be able to use it again now.

Choosing a relatively concealed spot, Qin Chuan skillfully installed the pinhole camera.

He also inserted a new memory card.

Whatever the pinhole camera recorded would automatically be saved onto this card.

After installing it, he took another look. He was very satisfied.

It was very well-hidden, and the angle was excellent. As long as someone came in to hide that 100,000 yuan under his bed to frame him, it would be captured clearly.

After finishing all this, Qin Chuan went to the cafeteria for breakfast, then entered his office, ready to start the day's work.

The first thing he did was call Director Hu Qibin over.

"Leader, you wanted to see me?" Director Hu Qibin arrived quickly.

Unlike Ma Zhengnan, because he knew about Qin Chuan's connections and background, he wasn't worried at all. In fact, he felt a slight sense of excitement and anticipation, wondering how Secretary Qin would deal with Young Master Wang Long.

Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

"We threw Young Master Wang Long out yesterday. I estimate that given his personality, he will retaliate. How will he retaliate? After thinking it over, I believe the most likely method is a frame-up."

"How about this: doesn't the entrance to our dormitory building have a camera? And there's also one on the floor where I'm staying. Go check them quietly, ensure both cameras are working properly, and adjust the angles to ensure they can record anyone entering the dormitory building, or even anyone entering my room."

"Understood, I will handle it immediately." Director Hu Qibin replied loudly, internally agreeing with Secretary Qin Chuan's deduction.

The other party was indeed very likely to attempt a frame-up.

Once everything was settled, he returned to report to Qin Chuan and asked for instructions.

"Leader, should I assign one or two reliable people to keep watch secretly? As soon as a suspicious person appears, we can catch them immediately."

"No need," Qin Chuan said. "Just ensure the cameras don't fail at a critical moment. Don't alert the enemy."

Since Young Master Wang Long wanted to frame him, he would make the matter even bigger.

He had no intention of asking his father for help for now. Both the County Party Secretary and the County Mayor knew he was the son of the Provincial Party Secretary. As long as he was taken away by the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, they wouldn't sit idly by.

Once the matter blew up, he wanted to see how Young Master Wang Long and his father would deal with the fallout.

By then, he estimated that Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan wouldn't be able to smooth things over and would definitely be implicated.

Heh, then he would deal with Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan as well.

With a son as arrogant and domineering as his, who recklessly meddled in the appointment and promotion of cadres and interfered in almost all construction projects in Sanjiang County, he didn't believe Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan was a good leader.

With a plan in mind, he wasn't panicked at all.

Qin Chuan threw himself into his work just like any other day, reviewing documents, meeting with people coming to report on work, organizing meetings, and so on.

In Sanjiang County, Young Master Wang Long answered a phone call.

"Young Master Wang Long, everything is ready. The 100,000 yuan in cash has been successfully hidden under Qin Chuan's bed, and we have also reported it to the County Commission for Discipline Inspection..."

After hanging up the phone, Young Master Wang Long gave a cold, sinister smile. "Qin Chuan, you're finished. To think you dared to treat me like that—who gave you the courage?"

Immediately, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Deputy Secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, Secretary Tang Xingwei.

"Secretary Tang Xingwei, someone has reported that Qin Chuan of Dahe Township has accepted a huge amount of money. My father already knows about this and is furious."

He was using his father's name again. For Young Master Wang Long, this was standard procedure.

Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan usually tacitly allowed it. In reality, Young Master Wang Long hadn't spoken to his father at all; he had just called and claimed his father was furious.

Generally speaking, investigating a Township Party Committee Secretary required the approval of the main leaders of the County Party Committee.

By saying that Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan was furious, Secretary Tang Xingwei felt confident and knew what to do, because he was also one of Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan's men.

"Young Master Wang Long, I will lead a team to Dahe Township immediately. Please tell Secretary Wang Jingan not to worry; we will definitely get to the bottom of this and make it an ironclad case."

Hearing this, Young Master Wang Long felt relieved.

In the system, what do officials fear the most? Naturally, they fear the Discipline Inspection Commission showing up at their door.

Even if you have no issues, they can still dig up a pile of problems. Young Master Wang Long believed that there were very few incorruptible officials in the system; as long as you investigated, you could always find many problems, and Qin Chuan was certainly no exception.

Heh, what do you have to fight me with? In one round, I can make you fall into an abyss from which you can never recover.

As for how the County Party Secretary and the County Mayor would react, Young Master Wang Long wasn't worried at all. By the time they found out, Qin Chuan's acceptance of huge sums of money would already be confirmed. What could they do? Would they dare to openly shield him?

Impossible. Qin Chuan was neither the County Party Secretary's man nor the County Mayor's man; they wouldn't take such a huge risk to shield him.

Qin Chuan was doomed!

Secretary Tang Xingwei, the Executive Deputy Secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, personally led the team. Around ten o'clock in the morning, they arrived at Dahe Township in two cars, driving directly into the courtyard of the Township Government.

Seeing these two cars and seeing Secretary Tang Xingwei get out of the car with a sullen face, many people felt a jolt in their hearts.

What was going on? It looked like they were here with bad intentions. Could it be that some leader in our Dahe Township had run into trouble and was targeted by the County Commission for Discipline Inspection? Guessing this, many people shrank their necks, their eyes clearly showing a bit of fear.

As for Secretary Tang Xingwei, with a stern expression, he led seven or eight people, marching imposingly into the office building of Dahe Township, heading straight for the office of the Township Party Committee Secretary.

The commotion was a bit loud, and many people glanced over.

Director Hu Qibin happened to witness this scene and was secretly shocked. Qin Chuan had predicted everything like a god; just as he had guessed, people from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection had really come.

"Secretary Tang Xingwei, what is this..." As the Director of the Party and Government Office, seeing this situation, Director Hu Qibin still stepped out to ask.

Secretary Tang Xingwei had a stern expression and merely gave a cold snort without responding, walking straight into Qin Chuan's office.

At this moment, Qin Chuan was in his office. Seeing Secretary Tang Xingwei and his group enter, he understood everything clearly and wasn't panicked in the slightest.

"Secretary Tang Xingwei, you've arrived."

Secretary Tang Xingwei, with a dark face, said coldly, "Qin Chuan, we have received a report that you have accepted a huge amount of money. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Qin Chuan appeared indifferent and simply smiled.

"Search!" Following a wave of Secretary Tang Xingwei's hand, the staff from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection got busy and began to search the office.

In addition, three staff members from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection went to the room where Qin Chuan was staying. A short while later, these three came back excitedly.

The person leading them was carrying a transparent plastic bag containing exactly 100,000 yuan in cash.

"Secretary Tang Xingwei, this was found under Qin Chuan's bed."

"Hmm." Secretary Tang Xingwei nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Qin Chuan, please come with us. I hope you can truthfully confess to all your issues."

"Take him away!"
