Chapter 705 From Top to Bottom
After returning from the meeting in early August, Mr. Su set off for the west to finish visiting the remaining places. He only returned to Beijing two days ago after completing this research trip.

Although, due to his status, even when he was out, other staff members in his office who did not accompany him would prepare briefings on important matters and report them to him by phone or fax.

However, it was just a briefing, and the description of many things was not particularly detailed. For example, Jiang Feiyang, who was implicated in the gun theft case, was the subject of investigations that uncovered many people who had committed illegal and disorderly acts.

All Old Su knew was that the Supervisory Commission had sent a working group to the case and had participated in the subsequent investigation, but apart from a limited number of people, he didn't know much else. His subordinates wouldn't report every little thing to him.

If reports were given indiscriminately, regardless of the importance of the matter, then Old Master Su wouldn't have to do anything; he'd be listening to reports all day long.

Upon hearing his old friend's inquiry, Mr. Luo first picked up his cup and took a sip of tea before giving him a brief account of the case.

Li Yancheng kept his word and said that the interrogation of Jiang Feiyang would end at 9:00 a.m. the next day. The brigade also began to organize the case files and report them to the procuratorate.

Soon, the gun theft case went to trial, and after the court's verdict, the so-called "Four King Kongs" were all taken out and shot.

Although Jiang Feiyang was not involved in the gun theft case, he had a lot of blood on his hands. Even if he was commended for his reporting and actively cooperated, the leniency he received would only mean that he would not die a horrible death.

Of those he reported, some were certainly framed, but the vast majority were found to be true after investigation by the supervisory commission. Some of them only received disciplinary action because their violations were not serious, they actively cooperated, and they voluntarily returned the ill-gotten gains.

Several others were also transferred to the Public Security Bureau after receiving disciplinary action, and their other illegal activities were investigated. Clearly, once you get to this point, you won't be able to get out without serving a few years in prison.

The man who was reported by Jiang Feiyang for illegally exchanging currency and accepting kickbacks was fortunate to have followed his brother's advice and turned himself in to the supervisory office of his workplace.

Just as his brother had predicted, although he was still fired from his job for violating regulations, he ultimately didn't have to go to jail and didn't lose his freedom, which was a very good ending.

His ending is considered very good; many others not only violated discipline but also broke the law, and all that awaits them is the lament of imprisonment.

"You're saying that the Sun family's kid broke the law too?"

Upon hearing a familiar name, Old Su's eyes widened immediately.

"Ha... It's not just breaking the law, it's outrageous."

At the age of Elder Luo and Elder Su, they could be said to have reached a state of being unmoved by external gains or losses. However, they were still shocked to hear that the children of their very close old comrades-in-arms had committed illegal and disorderly acts.

"Sigh, when Old Sun heard that his son had been arrested for breaking the law, he was so angry that he almost died. It is said that he was rushed to the hospital all night and barely survived. He is still unconscious."

After retiring, the old comrade-in-arms of the two elders did not stay in Beijing, but returned to his hometown in Jiangnan to recuperate. The old man went back to his hometown, but his son, who had a child late in life, stayed in Beijing and did not go with him.

Because this person was not in Beijing, Old Su, who had just returned, was unaware of what had happened to his old comrade-in-arms.

Among the people Jiang Feiyang reported was this Mr. Sun's son. After a preliminary investigation, the Municipal Supervisory Commission found that this guy's problems went beyond mere disciplinary violations; the illegal things he did were countless.

Although this kid's hands weren't stained with other people's blood like Jiang Feiyang's, they weren't much better off.

"After the Municipal Supervisory Commission transferred his case to the Public Security Bureau, I asked Yan Cheng about it. He told me that based on the facts of the crime that have been investigated so far, the Sun family's kid is definitely going to get a beating this time." Old Luo's words made Old Su, who was just reaching for his teacup, stop in his tracks. He looked at his old friend sitting opposite him in surprise, as if trying to find a trace of joking on his friend's face.

He was clearly going to be disappointed; Old Luo wasn't joking at all.

"How could it be so serious?"

"Alas, Old Sun's lifelong reputation has been completely ruined by his son." Old Luo shook his head dejectedly, but then changed the subject.

"However...heh, I don't believe that Old Sun really doesn't know the shady things his lawless son has done in Beijing."

Old Luo was absolutely right. Others might not know because they don't care. That kid surnamed Sun has committed numerous crimes, but the reason he hasn't been discovered yet—well, it's not that he hasn't been discovered—is because someone is covering for him.

As the only son of the Sun family, even if Old Sun was in Jiangnan, he couldn't possibly be indifferent.

Moreover, Old Sun returned to his hometown to recuperate after retiring in Beijing. He had worked there for many years and had a wide network of connections. It was impossible for him not to know about the illegal things his son had done.

I may not know everything, but I will eventually understand some of it.

Why didn't he stop his son from continuing to do evil, or rather, why didn't he uphold justice and put aside his own family? Ultimately, it's because his heart had changed.

Old Su didn't say anything, nor did he continue to pick up his teacup. Instead, he looked up at the azure sky and sighed slowly.

The two elders sat there in silence for a long time before Elder Su, who had been gazing at the sky, slowly turned his gaze to his old friend across from him.

"It's time to clean up."

“That’s right, we really need to clean things up.” Old Luo nodded in agreement. “If we don’t clean things up, some people will become even more unruly.”

Let's leave it to Yan Cheng. If he can successfully transfer to the Municipal Supervisory Commission next year, he can fire the first shot.

"Heh, you old geezer." Old Su raised his hand and pointed at his old friend with a hint of annoyance.

“Aren’t you afraid that Yan Cheng won’t be able to handle it? What I mean is, while we’re still here, let’s start from the top down, so that even if Yan Cheng goes to the Control Yuan next year, he won’t bear too much pressure.”

"Hey, tell me, is Yan Cheng your son-in-law or mine? Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for your own son-in-law?"

"What are you saying! What do you mean I'm holding back and tormenting him?" Old Master Luo was at a loss for words after his old friend's comment.

"This is to train him."

"Bullshit! Training? When Yan Cheng was first transferred to the Municipal Public Security Bureau as deputy director, he made a big splash. This year, he's only been in office for a short time and this case has already happened. What, do you think he's not good at handling pressure? Do you want to push him even harder?"
