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

This sentence almost made him the Party Secretary of the Oasis City, giving Secretary Qiao a bit of a headache.

As expected, is Sun Yikun finished?

It was indeed rumored that Li Zhixing was going to come to Oasis City as the Party Secretary, and there had been news of this in Oasis City. However, unexpectedly, Sun Yikun was replaced instead.

So what's going on now?

Isn't the Li family finished?

But now, Chen Jingcheng has been released, Lu Ming has come in person, and then Li Zhixing has also come. Are they here to pick up Li Feitu?

The political situation in Oasis City—no, in Qingjiang Province—feels rather volatile.

Only Chen Jingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Zhixing's name.

Li Zhixing is Li Feitu's uncle and Kunkun's father. Although he has never met Li Zhixing, he has a very good impression of him. Especially when he learned that Kunkun had helped him so much, he even checked Li Zhixing's reputation in the area he governed. It was quite good.

He is a pragmatic and good official, a good official who is willing to work hard and seek benefits for the people.

Because of this, although he had never met Li Zhixing, Chen Jingcheng had developed a strong liking for him due to a combination of factors.

Less than two minutes later, footsteps reached everyone's ears, and the next moment, Li Zhixing appeared in front of them.

Deputy Secretary Lu Ming stepped forward, extended his hand, and said with a smile, "Secretary Li, you must be tired from your journey."

Li Zhixing naturally recognized Lu Ming. Although Li Zhixing had previously held a high-ranking position in Qingjiang Province, he still had to give Lu Ming, the executive deputy secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, some respect.

He extended his hand and shook hands with Lu Ming.

"Secretary Lu, thank you for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming shook his head and said, "It's not hard work. It's all work, and it's all for Comrade Jing Cheng's innocence."

"Secretary Li, our provincial discipline inspection commission has reached a conclusion regarding Comrade Jing Cheng's case. Furthermore, based on information provided by the Oasis City Discipline Inspection Commission, it can be confirmed that Comrade Jing Cheng was framed and is completely innocent."

"However, Comrade Jing Cheng has suffered such injustice for so long. Despite the conclusive evidence and overwhelming proof, he has still been detained for such a long time and subjected to excessive interrogation. Our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give Comrade Jing Cheng justice."

"Just now, I had my men detained the people responsible for interrogating Comrade Jing Cheng. They will be thoroughly investigated, and if any violations of rules or regulations are confirmed, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will deal with them severely and without leniency!"

At this moment, Li Zhixing was also very excited. He had only seen Chen Jingcheng in photos, but now he was seeing him in person.

The excitement isn't just because the Li family has turned their fortunes around; with the Standing Committee meeting ending tonight, perhaps we'll see the outcome of everything.

Similarly, Li Zhixing now looks at Chen Jingcheng with the feeling of a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law. Of course, for many people, the father-in-law's view of his son-in-law may not be very pleasant, but Li Zhixing is very happy.

Seeing that Secretary Lu Ming was explaining the outcome and still referring to himself as Secretary Li, Li Zhixing nodded without saying anything more, and walked up to Chen Jingcheng.

"Jingcheng, you don't look well. Have you been suffering here these past few days? It's okay, it's all in the past. You can speak up if you've been treated unfairly."

"Don't worry, everyone who hurt you will be dealt with seriously!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhixing noticed the bloodstains on Chen Jingcheng's clothes, and his expression changed drastically.

Li Zhixing had been worried that something serious might have happened to Chen Jingcheng, and now, seeing the bloodstains, his scalp tingled with fear.

"Blood?"

"Is that blood on these clothes?"

"Damn it, they hit you?"

Before Chen Jingcheng could answer, Li Zhixing, his eyes blazing with anger, pointed at Secretary Qiao and roared, "Is this how you handle cases? Who gave you permission to lay a hand on people? Even if Chen Jingcheng is innocent, and even if he really did violate regulations, you have no right to lay a hand on him!"

At this moment, Secretary Qiao felt like crying. He was a member of the Standing Committee of the Oasis City Party Committee, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and a deputy director-level official. In Oasis City, his words carried weight. But now, Lu Ming had come over and reprimanded him, and Li Zhixing had directly questioned him. Moreover, judging from Li Zhixing's attitude, he seemed to be ready to devour him.

But is it really necessary?

That's right, Secretary Qiao is thinking to himself, is this really necessary?

He certainly knew the relationship between Li Zhixing and Li Feitu; they were uncle and nephew, and Li Feitu was a promising young man, so it was certain that the Li family would protect him.

But Chen Jingcheng is just Li Feitu's secretary. How could a secretary make so many big shots come over in the middle of the night to avenge him? Shouldn't they be going to Li Feitu at this time?

But Secretary Qiao dares not ask these questions now.

"Secretary Li, I inquired about this situation when I arrived. It wasn't the staff who beat Comrade Jing Cheng, but Comrade Jing Cheng's vomiting of blood is indeed related to the prolonged interrogation by these staff members."

"As the secretary of the municipal discipline inspection commission, I cannot shirk responsibility for such a thing happening under my command."

"But don't worry, the doctors have already examined him. Comrade Jingcheng is fine. He was just under a lot of mental and physical stress, and the stress caused him to vomit blood. There is no substantial organic disease or other problems."

There isn't really a big problem, but Chen Jingcheng's current state is the biggest problem in itself.

Li Zhixing didn't even dare to imagine the fury Chen Min'en would feel if he saw Chen Jingcheng in his current state.

Seeing Secretary Qiao's evasive manner, he really wanted to tell Secretary Qiao whose child Chen Jingcheng was, and who had unleashed their fury because of Chen Jingcheng's matter.

If Secretary Qiao knew Chen Jingcheng's identity, would he really still be standing here unharmed explaining himself?

Could it be just a little uneasy and a bit sweaty? Probably, you wouldn't even be able to stand up straight.

However, Li Zhixing could not reveal it, not only because the genetic test results were not yet available, but also because even after they were available, Chen Jingcheng's identity would likely have to be kept secret, and only a small circle of people would know.

However, this did not stop Li Zhixing from getting angry.

"What do you mean by 'my body is fine,' and what do you mean by 'you also bear responsibility'?"

"What are you doing as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission? Your subordinates have run into problems, do you think you can shirk responsibility?"

"Let me tell you, even if Comrade Jingcheng is fine, you can't escape responsibility. But if anything happens to Comrade Jingcheng, you should think carefully about the consequences."

At this moment, Secretary Qiao was also a little irritated by the scolding. He believed that although he was responsible, so what? Even if the Li family turned the tables, so what? He was, after all, a deputy director-level secretary of the municipal discipline inspection commission, and he had some connections.

Li Zhixing's outburst of anger towards him in front of so many people was a complete loss of face.

He felt extremely uncomfortable.

Reason told him to just bear with it, but the problem was, he couldn't hold back anymore.

Otherwise, once the events of tonight get out, Secretary Qiao will not only be unable to stay in Oasis City and lose all prestige, but the entire Qingjiang Province will become a laughing stock for him!
