Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang's face hardened, and he walked resolutely toward his car.

Having spent half his life navigating the ups and downs of officialdom, climbing step by step from a grassroots staff member to a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and then to the Party Secretary of a prefecture-level city, he believed that after years of cultivating connections, he had a network of contacts throughout the province and city. But when he truly fell on hard times, he saw the coldness of human relationships and the fickleness of the world.

With no hope for a career advancement and no way out, then nobody can expect to have an easy time!

in the afternoon.

As scheduled, Zhang Yang went through the check-up and arrived at Chu Shijun's office.

At this moment, the high spirits of the former municipal party secretary were long gone from his face. His suit was wrinkled, his eyes were bloodshot, and all that remained was dejection and a desperate determination.

Seeing his expression, Ye Wentao secretly became wary, brewed tea in a paper cup, and did not leave.

"Comrade Zhang Yang, you..."

Before Chu Shijun could finish speaking, Zhang Yang suddenly looked up and said, "Secretary Chu, I've come to turn myself in!"

"you say."

Chu Shijun showed no displeasure at being interrupted, but nodded solemnly. Ye Wentao, who was standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out paper and pen to take notes.

"Things have come to this point, I can't see a way forward anymore. There's nothing left to hide. I'll tell you everything, word for word. If I can't get along, no one else can!"

Zhang Yang said this harshly, and then began to recount everything in detail.

"Secretary Chu, back then I was just a junior section chief. After accepting some improper banquets for the first time, I received some gifts. At the time, I was terrified, but after a while, I found that nothing had happened, so later..."

"It started as small-scale operations, but their appetite grew bigger and bigger," Zhang Yang said slowly, his voice tinged with numbness.

"Five years ago, I was asked by Chairman Xu of Zhencheng Yuanzhong Group to privately modify the planned plot ratio of that commercial and residential land plot numbered 1234567 in the oil city, and to leak the reserve price, so that Yuanzhong Group could acquire it at a low price of 880 million yuan per mu."

"With a total area of ​​128 mu, Yuanzhong Group underpaid about 2.3 million yuan in land transfer fees for this item alone. I received 1500 million yuan in cash and a river-view apartment worth 860 million yuan from him, which was registered under the name of a company owned by a distant relative of mine."

"In addition, I also illegally interfered in the renovation project of the old town of the oil city. Without open bidding, I directly designated the renovation project with a total investment of 18.6 billion yuan to Shengda Real Estate Co., Ltd., which has a vested interest in me. In gratitude for my 'favor,' Shengda Real Estate transferred a total of 9.8 million yuan to a shell company controlled by my relative in three installments, and also purchased a villa worth 5 million yuan abroad."

"..."

"Among those connected to this is Zhu Yang, the mayor of Zhencheng City."

"He has almost completely controlled the land sales in Zhencheng City in recent years. We have long had a connection of interests and even a common channel for transferring benefits."

Zhang Yang confessed that Zhu Yang was deeply involved in the old case of large-scale urban renewal and industrial land transfer in Zhencheng many years ago. The two worked together to smooth things over for many local real estate and urban investment companies in Zhencheng. One of them was in the local area and the other was in the province.

"In addition, the Urban Construction Bank of Youcheng City and the Urban Construction Bank of Zhencheng City have successively issued loans totaling nearly 40 billion yuan to Yuanzhong Group and other related companies in violation of regulations. Of these, 19 billion yuan was used for land hoarding and speculation, rather than actual project development."

"We've lobbied almost everyone in the bank, from top to bottom, to get involved in these irregularities. First, there's the credit approval process. We instructed the vice president in charge of credit to disregard the actual operating conditions of companies and illegally raise their credit ratings. Some newly established companies had their credit ratings artificially inflated..."

"Among these, there are illegal loan renewals and refinancing. When these small companies are unable to repay their loans after they mature, the banks should have followed the regulations to collect the debts and dispose of the collateral. However, with our intervention, the banks not only failed to collect the debts but also illegally renewed the loans and even issued new loans to allow the companies to repay the old ones, creating a vicious cycle of 'using loans to repay loans'."

"In addition, the bank also illegally simplified the approval process. Normal loans require multiple steps such as investigation by the account manager, department review, risk control approval, and signature by the bank president. However, after we made a request, all these steps were simplified, and some even skipped the risk control approval and were directly signed off by the vice president in charge."

"..."

"Zhang Yang, Zhu Yang, Yuanzhong Group, Nanyun Group, Longteng Group, Shengda Real Estate, and other companies—besides these, who else is involved?"

Chu Shijun's expression remained calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Besides that, there are also those who directly accepted bribes..." Zhang Yang told him everything he knew.

"What about here?"

Chu Shijun continued to ask.

"To my knowledge, no."

Zhang Yang shook his head.

"Governor Zhao is very protective of his connections and never gets involved in these matters. When he was the deputy secretary and secretary of the Zhencheng Municipal Party Committee, his focus was on the provincial party committee..."

What he said was very interesting.

As the top leader, how could Zhu Yang, the second-in-command, really be completely unaware of the matter?

Not getting involved is one thing, but knowing about it and not interfering is another.

Often, knowing something but not interfering can be considered tacit approval.

"Is there anything else?"

Zhang Yang was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "There's one more thing, something I really don't want to talk about. I want to slap myself for it."

"Two years ago, I suppressed a missing person case in the oil city."

After saying this, he sighed and remained silent for a long time.

"continue!"

Chu Shijun's eyes narrowed.

"Was it the fire in the old residential buildings in the Oil City High-tech Zone?" Ye Wentao suddenly asked.

Seeing Chu Shijun looking over, he quickly said, "Four people died in that fire, and five went missing. Among the missing, four were students. It caused quite a stir at the time, but after only two days, there was no news of them, and the affected families gave up on them..."

"is that so?"

Zhang Yang's face showed bitterness. "Yes."

"At the time, the provincial party committee attached great importance to the matter, and our municipal party committee also quickly set up an investigation team. However, Gu Wangbei, the chairman of Nanyun Group, contacted me and used his power and bribes to pressure me."

"Secretary Chu, you know their family. I'm just a nobody. I really had no choice. I was blinded by the real money on the table... This matter is also related to Changteng Capital of Zhongjiang Green Vine. But I don't know the specifics."

"Secretary Chu, I truly regret it now. I also have children, four of them at the prime of their lives!"

"Bang!"

"This is outrageous!"

"If I don't ask, you never intend to say, right?"

Chu Shijun slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, stared at him coldly, and said sternly, "Let me tell you, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!"

"Are you worthy of the badge on your chest? Are you worthy of the trust placed in you by the organization and the people?"

"Tell Sima Shenhe to get over here! Tell Liu Tonggu to get over here!"

"Secretary Chu, I'll contact him right away."

Ye Wentao's heart skipped a beat. He had never seen Chu Shijun so angry before. He quickly took out his phone and started calling for help.

"Secretary Liu? Oh, secretary, please inform Secretary Liu to come to Secretary Chu's office now."

"He's in a meeting? That's an order, come over here immediately!"

He disregarded etiquette and spoke sternly.

"Director Sima? Please come to the Provincial Party Committee, to Secretary Chu's office, immediately!"

"Secretary-General Ye, my secretary and driver are in the car, and they also have problems," Zhu Yang interjected.

Ye Wentao understood his meaning and quickly added, "Director Sima, take a few more comrades downstairs and control Zhang Yang's driver and secretary in the car."

After hanging up the phone, he walked up to Chu Shijun, who was standing by the window smoking and looking expressionless, and said, "Secretary Chu, please calm down."

"Get Comrade Daoheng here too, and Huo Tancheng from the Provincial Procuratorate to come over here as well. Liu Zhen from the Provincial Court, and whether Li Dakang from Zhencheng has left or not, if not, get over here. Tell Secretary-General Li to cancel all his appointments for this afternoon."

Chu Shijun said without turning his head.

"Yes, Secretary Chu, I'll contact them right away." Ye Wentao took out the command cube again and started calling for people.
