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

After the car drove back to the old neighborhood where Chen Jingcheng and his parents lived, Chen Jingcheng and Guo Hu got out of the car and went upstairs.

Standing in front of the door, Chen Jingcheng took out his key, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

The next moment, after opening the door, what came into view was a mess on the floor, and bloodstains on the ground.

He knew whose blood it was; who else could it be but his adoptive father, Chen Dachuan?

Standing in the room, Chen Jingcheng gently closed his eyes. In his mind, he seemed to recall how Chen Jinghan and the others had bullied his family and how they had argued and fought with his parents.

The more Chen Jingcheng thought about it, the more his body trembled; the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Seeing this, Guo Hu sighed softly and patted Chen Jingcheng on the shoulder.

"Jingcheng, don't be angry. They will pay a heavy price for this."

Chen Jingcheng nodded slightly, then began tidying up the house without saying a word.

He was certain that Chen Dachuan and his wife would not live here anymore. Of course, it didn't mean they wouldn't return to Linchuan County, but even if they did, Chen Jingcheng would arrange a better house for them.

However, no matter how good the house is, this old house still needs to be cleaned up, because it contains all the memories of him, Chen Dachuan and his wife, as well as his younger siblings.

More than half an hour later, everything was finally tidied up, and at that moment, it was not even 3 p.m.

Chen Jingcheng looked at Guo Hu and said softly, "Hu Zi, I'm tired. I want to sleep for a while."

"If you have something to do, go ahead and do your thing. You can come pick me up tonight."

Upon hearing this, Guo Hu shook his head and said, "You go to sleep. I don't have anything to do. I've been busy for a few days, so I'll rest here for a while."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng didn't say anything more and went straight back to his room to lie down.

At that very moment, just as Guo Hu had said, Chen Jinghan was still playing cards at Boss Wang's villa.

Judging from Chen Jinghan's expression, he hadn't won much money, but he hadn't lost much either.

"Brother Wang, you're having a bad day. Looks like my luck is about to change, hahaha."

Chen Jinghan had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and his face was beaming with joy.

Boss Wang didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "You're so happy because you only won a few tens of thousands of yuan. Don't forget, your car is still in my hands. Let's talk about it when you win it back."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinghan's face fell.

"You wait, I'll win the car back today. I just bought this car not long ago. If my dad finds out I lost, he'll definitely give me a piece of his mind."

Mr. Wang smiled and took out his car keys directly from his pocket.

"Jing Han, it can't be that bad. Chen Jingcheng has been taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Li Feitu has been dismissed. Not only has our business improved again, but we've also landed some projects we wanted before, and we've even connected with a lot of important people. You've done a great job this time. Do you really think your dad would punish you for a car?"

"He must have earned more than one car's worth in the last few days."

At this point, Boss Wang seemed to have thought of something and laughed, "But how badly were your second uncle and aunt injured? I heard they suffered a lot of grievances at the county hospital because they didn't have money. They tried to borrow money everywhere, even from someone they almost became in-laws with, but were refused."

"Why can't I find them all now? You didn't secretly send them away for medical treatment, did you?"

"Or are you referring to what your father did?"

Since Chen Dachuan and his wife were bullied by them, they would naturally care about the situation of the parties involved. After all, although Chen Dachuan looked a bit miserable back then, he should be fine. On the other hand, Li Sumei was in so much pain that she couldn't even stand up, and that was no exaggeration.

If anything goes wrong, they will also be held responsible, so it's essential to understand the situation clearly.

However, to their surprise, although the police did go to Chen Dachuan and his wife's home and asked some questions, there has been no further action so far, as if the matter has been dropped.

This made Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang feel a little strange, but it was only a little strange. After all, Chen Jingcheng and Li Feitu had both gotten into trouble, so it was not impossible that the police did not want to get involved in their affairs.

Chen Jinghan shook his head, a hint of confusion on his face.

"When my dad found out about this, my second uncle and aunt had already disappeared."

"However, because of this incident, I was severely scolded by my father and slapped several times in the face. After all, they are my second uncle and aunt. No matter how much my father dislikes them, what he did was a bit excessive. Most importantly, it was bad for my reputation and even worse for my father's reputation when it got out."

"Fortunately, that's all over now. As for where they went, who knows? Who cares? They can't just fly away, can they?"

"It's good that they ran away. If they hadn't, they would have raised a disgraceful ingrate like Chen Jingcheng. Even if they are paralyzed, they will still be dragged to the ancestral hall by the clan to kneel and confess their sins. The clan has already made a decision on this matter. As soon as they are found, they will be taken to the ancestral hall to kneel for three days and three nights."

When Boss Wang heard this, he gave a thumbs up.

"Impressive, you guys are really impressive. Even if someone is paralyzed, you still drag them to the ancestral hall to kneel for three days and three nights to confess their sins. I admire you, I admire you."

Chen Jinghan thought that Boss Wang was praising his own people, and immediately sneered.

"What's this? The clan said that this is only because they are my second uncle and aunt. If Chen Jingcheng comes out, he will be in real trouble. The clan is already prepared to use family law against Chen Jingcheng and will hold a clan meeting to expel him from the clan."

Do you know what our clan's rules are?

"A barbed iron whip, one lash and the skin is torn open. According to my information, Chen Jingcheng will have to endure at least three lashes. To put it bluntly, it will take half his life."

"Now, I'm increasingly looking forward to Chen Jingcheng getting out of here soon. When he's punished by family law and expelled from the family, I'll see if this wild child will still have the face to live."

Just as Boss Wang was about to say something with a smile, he suddenly received a phone call, and his expression instantly turned somewhat ugly.

"Are you telling the truth? How could this happen? Secretary Sun only took office recently, how could he be removed by the province and his actions be classified as serious violations of laws and regulations?"

However, the person on the other end of the phone couldn't give him an answer either.

Boss Wang, being a small business owner, has some influence, but that's about it. He only just found out about the meeting that was held in the city this morning, which shows that his connections are limited.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinghan looked at Boss Wang and asked, "Brother Wang, what's wrong?"

Boss Wang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "The municipal party secretary, Sun Yikun, has been taken away for investigation by the provincial discipline inspection commission. The new secretary has already taken office."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinghan didn't take it seriously. He simply smiled and said, "I thought it was something serious, Brother Wang. Why are you so nervous? We have no connection with Secretary Sun. Whether he takes it or not is none of our business."

Indeed, Secretary Sun, it's beyond their reach, and it has nothing to do with them.

However, it is no secret that Secretary Sun is Secretary Zhao Mingyuan's patron.

If Secretary Sun falls, then what about Secretary Zhao?

If both Secretary Sun and Secretary Zhao have run into trouble, does that mean that Li Feitu, who was targeted by them, is innocent?

Upon thinking of this, Boss Wang's body trembled involuntarily, as if he had imagined something terrible.
