53: Chapter 53 Is the Source of a Huge Amount of Wealth Unclear?

The Deputy Secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection was personally leading the team, which clearly meant they were here to investigate Qin Chuan, and many people began to pay attention.

There were always some people secretly craning their necks to watch.

Keeping an eye on the commotion over here.

"Do you think Qin Chuan could be a corrupt official?"

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you."

"I suspect it has to do with what happened yesterday. The one who was thrown out was the son of Deputy Secretary Wang; this is most likely retaliation!"

"Anyone could be a corrupt official, but I absolutely do not believe that Qin Chuan is one!"

"..."

With such a big commotion, Township Head Chen Qunfeng naturally found out immediately. He was also watching the situation, and when he saw the staff from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection search out a full 100,000 yuan in cash from Qin Chuan's residence, he was ecstatic!

Haha, that Qin fellow is finished!

He really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, actually daring to fight with Young Master Wang Long. Now look at him, he's definitely going to lose his position as the Township Party Committee Secretary!

Under the gazes of many, this staff member from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection walked over with the 100,000 yuan in cash and reported, "Secretary Tang Xingwei, this was searched out from under Qin Chuan's bed."

"Take him away!" Secretary Tang Xingwei waved his hand.

Immediately, two staff members from the Discipline Inspection Commission flanked Qin Chuan from the left and right, preparing to haul him away.

Qin Chuan was very calm; he showed no panic, nor did he yell or scream like other officials do when being investigated. He simply said indifferently,

"You don't need to help me; I can walk on my own."

Under everyone's gaze, Qin Chuan walked out of the office with a calm expression.

Ma Zhengnan and the others were anxious.

"Secretary Tang Xingwei, is there some misunderstanding about this..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted. Secretary Tang Xingwei said with a stern face, "Ma Zhengnan, I hope you will not interfere with our investigation; otherwise, we will take you along to have some tea as well."

Qin Chuan said, "Everyone, don't worry. Just do your own work well. I will be back very soon. The school construction work must not stop."

Under worried gazes, Qin Chuan was taken into the car of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection and then left Dahe Township.

The entire officialdom of Dahe Township exploded.

Qin Chuan had actually been taken away by the County Commission for Discipline Inspection!

Basically, no one could settle down to work; everyone was talking about what just happened. Most people were worried and sweating for Qin Chuan, but a small number of people were gloating.

Especially Township Head Chen Qunfeng.

In the car returning to the county seat, Secretary Tang Xingwei called Young Master Wang Long, acting as if Young Master Wang Long were the leader and he were the subordinate.

"Young Master Wang Long, we searched out 100,000 yuan in cash from under Qin Chuan's bed. Qin Chuan has already been put into our car and is being taken back to our County Commission for Discipline Inspection's designated hotel."

Young Master Wang Long was very happy.

"Secretary Tang Xingwei, you have performed well. I will report this to my father immediately."

"Thank you, Young Master Wang Long. Please tell Secretary Wang that he can rest assured; this time we will definitely make it an ironclad case."

The car did not return directly to the County Commission for Discipline Inspection but went to a certain hotel. This was the designated hotel for the County Commission for Discipline Inspection; anyone invited to "have tea" was basically sent here.

On the surface, it looked no different from an ordinary hotel, but once you walked inside, you discovered the difference: there were several iron gates, and every room was sealed off with stainless steel bars.

Qin Chuan was taken to one of these rooms.

This group of people immediately began to interrogate Qin Chuan, and it was Secretary Tang Xingwei who personally conducted the interrogation.

After interrogating him for twenty or thirty minutes without getting anything out of him, Secretary Tang Xingwei became a little impatient.

"Qin Chuan, honestly confess your issues. Our patience is limited. Speak, what is this 100,000 yuan really about?"

Qin Chuan said, "How come I didn't know there was 100,000 yuan in cash under my bed? Did someone deliberately put it there with the intention of framing me?"

Secretary Tang Xingwei knocked on the table. "Qin Chuan, don't stray from the topic. Honestly confess your issues. You know our Party's policy: resistance leads to severity, while leniency is granted to those who confess. If you persist in opposing the organization, you won't have a good outcome."

A while later, a staff member came in and whispered a few words into Secretary Tang Xingwei's ear, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Really!"

"Absolutely true. We even specifically verified it; the account names on those cards are all Qin Chuan."

"Good, good, too good!" Secretary Tang Xingwei was completely delighted. "You continue the interrogation; I am going to report this matter to Secretary Wang in person."

After saying this, he left in a state of excitement.

It turned out they had checked those bank cards in Qin Chuan's wallet. They didn't know until they checked, and once they checked, they were shocked!

The bank card with the most money actually had a full five million, and even the one with the least had hundreds of thousands.

This was not wealth that a Township Party Committee Secretary could possess; perhaps even working as a Township Party Committee Secretary for a lifetime wouldn't allow one to save that much money.

With this discovery, Secretary Tang Xingwei was naturally excited, knowing that Qin Chuan's corruption was completely confirmed—the kind that not even an immortal could save him from.

A while later, he knocked on the door and entered Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan's office.

Just a moment ago, Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan finally found out that his son had used his banner to command the County Commission for Discipline Inspection to arrest the Township Party Committee Secretary of Dahe Township.

Upon hearing this, he was a little angry and even called Young Master Wang Long to criticize him a few times. After all, this was a Township Party Committee Secretary; without asking for instructions from the County Party Secretary or obtaining the consent of the County Magistrate, this would cause dissatisfaction from the two leaders.

If they seized upon this matter and made an issue of it, he, Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan, would be in a passive position.

But Young Master Wang Long said that 100,000 yuan in cash had already been searched out from under Qin Chuan's bed, which made Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan feel much more at ease.

As long as they could find issues, that was fine; he would have some confidence when facing the County Party Secretary and the County Magistrate.

Secretary Tang Xingwei knocked and entered, very respectfully. "Secretary Wang, after a preliminary review, we have discovered that Qin Chuan's issues are very serious, especially regarding unexplained large amounts of wealth."

"Oh, he possesses a large amount of wealth under his name!"

Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan's eyes lit up slightly. If that were really the case, he would have nothing to worry about. Even if the County Party Secretary asked, he could be full of confidence.

Secretary Tang Xingwei reported, "Yes, we found several bank cards in Qin Chuan's wallet. Preliminary investigation shows a total of over 6.7 million, with the largest card holding a full five million."

What!

So much!

A small Township Party Committee Secretary actually had this much money!!!

Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan gently patted Secretary Tang Xingwei's shoulder and said approvingly, "You have done well. Do not let any bad person go; make it an ironclad case as soon as possible."

Being praised by Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan, Secretary Tang Xingwei was slightly excited and quickly said, "Thank you, Secretary Wang, this is just our duty. Please rest assured; we will make it an ironclad case in the shortest possible time."

"Hmm, go ahead," Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan said. "I await your good news."

Watching Secretary Tang Xingwei leave happily, Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan looked at the time, guessing in his heart that by now, County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang should also know that Qin Chuan was being investigated.

"Hmm, I will go and communicate with him, tell him about the huge amount of wealth Qin Chuan possesses, and see what his reaction is."

Thinking of this, he felt a wave of satisfaction in his heart.

He hoped to see County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang get deflated.

On the surface, Qinghe County was harmonious, but in reality, it was divided into three factions: the County Party Secretary's faction, the County Magistrate's faction, and the Deputy County Party Secretary's faction.

Each faction gathered a large number of officials. Although Deputy County Party Secretary Wang Jingan only ranked third among the county leaders, his strength was not weak.
