In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

Chen Jingcheng didn't listen to how Director Qin and Wang Liye explained things to Secretary Qiao, but during their explanation, Chen Jingcheng already learned Secretary Qiao's identity.

To be honest, it was quite unexpected.

He truly hadn't expected that the Standing Committee member of the Oasis City Party Committee and the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection would personally come here in the middle of the night to uphold justice for him.

But he knew that it didn't matter whether it was true or false, since they were all acting anyway, which was highly likely.

Now that the acting is over, it's time to get down to business.

Sure enough, after Secretary Qiao finished reprimanding Director Qin and Wang Liye, and after Director Qin and Wang Liye scratched their heads and gave a reasonably reasonable explanation, Secretary Qiao calmed down and turned to look at Chen Jingcheng.

"Comrade Jingcheng, I'm sorry to have made you suffer."

"It was our staff who were eager to make a contribution, which is why they subjected you to such a harsh interrogation. Although they did not harm your body, mental torture is unacceptable."

"Comrade Jingcheng, rest assured, I will pursue this matter to the end."

Chen Jingcheng looked at Secretary Qiao. He didn't know the specifics of the situation at the moment, so he didn't want to cause any trouble. After all, Secretary Qiao was the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and a high-ranking official at the deputy provincial level. He had his own influence.

He was afraid that if he continued to argue with Secretary Qiao at this point, something unexpected might happen.

Furthermore, he had indeed never seen Secretary Qiao here. Although Director Qin and Wang Liye mentioned that Secretary Qiao had personally intervened in the case, the person they talked about most was Sun Yikun, Secretary Sun.

Chen Jingcheng looked at Secretary Qiao, shook his head, and said, "Secretary Qiao, I don't want to say much about whether I've been wronged or how wronged I've been. I just feel that if the Discipline Inspection Commission handles cases like this, then it's really disappointing."

"My case is easy to investigate; there are witnesses and physical evidence. I don't know why I've been detained here for so long, and why they've repeatedly hinted or even explicitly asked me to confess to Li Feitu's illegal activities."

"Never mind, I don't want to talk about this anymore, Secretary Qiao. Now that you're here, I'd like to ask if I'm alright?"

Am I innocent?

Am I free?

Upon hearing this, Secretary Qiao immediately replied very seriously, "Of course!"

"When I arrived just now, I obtained all the information about your case and listened to their reports as well."

"All the evidence points to the fact that someone is framing you, and you are innocent."

"So, I came here specifically to tell you this. From now on, you are free. Don't worry, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will definitely deal with the person who falsely accused you seriously."

Hearing Secretary Qiao say these words in person, Chen Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. However, he still looked at Director Qin and Wang Liye, the two people who had been with him almost day and night these past few days, although this so-called day and night interaction was actually interrogation.

"Director Qin, Deputy Secretary Wang, is what Secretary Qiao said true?"

"Am I innocent?"

"Can I leave now?"

At this moment, Director Qin and Wang Liye had long faces, wishing Chen Jingcheng would forget about them immediately.

They felt that Chen Jingcheng was deliberately making things difficult for them and filing a complaint against them. Otherwise, Secretary Qiao, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, had personally stated that he was innocent, but Chen Jingcheng instead asked them if it was true.

What does this mean?

Doesn't this mean that Secretary Qiao's word doesn't count, and only the two of them have the final say?

Didn't you see, Secretary Qiao's face turned ashen.

However, Director Qin and Wang Liye didn't dare to say anything more. They quickly nodded and said that Chen Jingcheng was innocent and that all the evidence had been investigated.

Chen Jingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at them, sighed softly, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll be leaving. I really don't want to stay here for even a minute longer."

After saying that, Chen Jingcheng was about to walk out.

However, although Chen Jingcheng wanted to leave, Secretary Qiao could not allow him to leave now.

The people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection haven't arrived yet.

He'll wait no matter what.

Otherwise, what would happen if the other family members came and Chen Jingcheng left?

"Wait, don't go yet."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng frowned slightly and looked at Secretary Qiao, saying, "Secretary Qiao, didn't you say I'm innocent and can leave now?"

"Could it be that everything that just happened was all an act?"

"Give me hope, then plunge me into despair, thus crushing my spirit?"

At this moment, Secretary Qiao didn't know what to say. However, Chen Jingcheng's suspicion only proved that Director Qin and Wang Liye had used all sorts of methods to get Chen Jingcheng to confess. Otherwise, Chen Jingcheng wouldn't be so sensitive.

With a soft sigh, Secretary Qiao shook his head and said, "Comrade Jingcheng, you've misunderstood. Of course you're innocent. I personally signed the documents to prove it."

"However, you may need to wait a little while."

"The leaders from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will be arriving soon. Can you wait until they arrive before you leave?"

"After all, they came specifically for your sake."

"Also, you've really been tired these past few days, and you don't look too good. Take this opportunity, even if you don't rest, go wash up and change into some new clothes. Look at your clothes, they're all dirty."

Of course it was dirty; the large bloodstains on his chest were obvious to anyone, which was a big problem for Secretary Qiao and his team.

Chen Jingcheng looked down, shook his head, and said, "There's no need to take a shower, Secretary Qiao. I don't want to change my clothes either. I want to leave here now, right away. Something might have happened to my parents outside. I can't wait a minute longer."

"As for the provincial discipline inspection commission leaders coming, I can wait."

Chen Jingcheng knew that even though he had declared his innocence, he couldn't leave without these people's approval.

And he finally understood why Secretary Qiao had rushed over to clear his name at this time.

With the provincial discipline inspection commission getting involved, it seems the Li family is about to turn their fortunes around.

Of course, it's also possible that one's own biological parents contributed, but in any case, it's a good thing.

Just as Secretary Qiao was about to say something, Director Qin's phone rang. Seeing that it was the guard at the door calling, Director Qin quickly answered and then looked at Secretary Qiao with a serious expression.

"Secretary Qiao, the leaders from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have arrived."

Secretary Qiao's expression changed instantly. He then took a deep breath and said, "Alright, you all take Comrade Jing Cheng to rest for a while. I'll go and greet the leaders from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

What was bound to happen will happen eventually; there's no escaping it.

Just as Deputy Secretary Lu of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection arrived at the gate of the Oasis City Detention Center, Li Zhixing's car had already arrived at Oasis.
