Instead, he took a deep breath, found Chen Luo's number, and dialed it. He needed to ask for Chen Luo's opinion on this matter first.

After all... this is Whale City, not a proper place!

The call was quickly connected.

In a private restaurant on Wangfujing Street in Whale City, Chen Luo frowned when he saw his phone ringing on the table. Chen Zhengshu, Chen Zhengxi, and Li Xinyue, who were chatting, all stopped talking subconsciously.

"Dad, work is important, you should answer the phone first!"

Chen Zhengshu smiled and spoke, and Li Xinyue followed up, "Yes, Uncle Chen, you should go ahead with your work. Anyway, the food hasn't been served yet, so let's stop talking for now. Your work affects millions of ordinary people, and we are aware of that!"

Chen Luo appeared relatively relaxed and did not try to hide anything.

"Okay, then I'll take this call first. It's from your Uncle Jia."

After saying that, Chen Luo answered the phone.

"Hey, Renli, what's up?"

Upon hearing Chen Luo's reply, Jia Renli on the other end of the phone got straight to the point and asked questions.

"Secretary Chen, Comrade Haifeng just called me and said that Zhengxi's niece is being harassed."

"Is Jeong-hee's niece frightened?"

Hearing this, Chen Luo looked at Chen Zhengxi's bright eyes, pursed his lips, and replied, "No, that's not true. That girl is carefree. Besides, Comrade Haifeng has already taken her away for questioning."

Did the investigation uncover other issues?

This was the only possibility Chen Luo could think of.

"Yes, Secretary Chen, Comrade Haifeng said that Jin Shiwen has other problems. Two years ago, he forcibly assaulted a female student from the Normal University. However, according to Jin Shiwen's confession, this matter was suppressed by Comrade Jin Cheng, the current executive vice mayor of Whale City."

Comrade Haifeng said he would hand over the materials regarding Jin Cheng's case to our Discipline Inspection Commission for processing. Secretary Chen, what is your opinion?

Chen Luo frowned upon hearing this.

He took a deep breath and replied, "Renli, our party members and cadres may make some mistakes in their work. After all, no one is perfect. However, we cannot turn a blind eye to some matters of principle."

A deputy provincial-level official actually used his power to cover up his son's illegal and criminal activities. This is a serious violation of the law!

If this situation is turned a blind eye, Jin Cheng will only become more and more lawless.

Similarly, his son would be even more unscrupulous in harming ordinary people, which is absolutely unacceptable!

Of course, I am not a direct leader of your discipline inspection system. I can only offer my own suggestion: investigate and punish this matter thoroughly according to the law and regulations, and restore peace and order to the people!

Chen Luo had already made his stance clear, so Jia Renli stopped worrying about it.

"Okay, Secretary Chen, your remarks were very insightful, and our Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection highly approve of your suggestions."

That's all, Secretary Chen.

"Alright, Comrade Renli, you're busy."

After hanging up the phone, the three kids at the dinner table all stared wide-eyed. Chen Zhengxi knew it must be about Jin Shiwen when he heard himself mentioned, while Chen Zhengshu and Li Xinyue were puzzled.

"Dad, you just mentioned Zhengxi..."

Chen Zhengshu frowned, his expression inquisitive.

"Waaaaah! Brother, sister-in-law, you don't know yet, I've been bullied at school!"

Before Chen Luo could explain, Chen Zhengxi grabbed Li Xinyue's hands and started whimpering...

"Um... Zhengxi, take your time."

Li Xinyue was a little at a loss and automatically put herself in the role of her sister-in-law.

A few minutes later, after listening to Chen Zhengxi's account, Li Xinyue was also angered by Jin Shiwen's behavior.

"Zhengxi, don't be afraid, your sister-in-law will support you!"

"Mmm, sister-in-law, you're so kind!"

Seeing the three little ones looking like this, Chen Luo shook his head and said simply, "Alright, Zhengxi, Jin Shiwen won't have a chance to come out in the next few years. He has other problems. Your Uncle Jia just called to talk about this."

I won't tell you the specifics; the food will be served soon, so let's eat.

While Chen Luo was still savoring the culinary skills of the private chef, Jin Cheng was pacing anxiously like an ant on a hot pan in the office of the executive vice mayor of Whale City.

"This Yun Haifeng, he won't even give me this much face!"

"I'm so angry!"

Jin Cheng harbored deep resentment towards Yun Haifeng, because Yun Haifeng, the vice mayor, never gave him, the executive vice mayor, any face.

Now his son is in someone else's hands again...

After much deliberation, Jin Cheng decided that he should first find out what his son had done wrong, and most importantly, who he had offended.

In silence, Jin Cheng left his office and went to the larger office next door.

In the mayor's office, Jin Cheng was very humble, a complete change from his usual self.

However, he was, after all, the executive vice mayor. A few minutes later, when Jin Cheng left the other party's office, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The mayor had agreed to help him inquire.

Half an hour later, Jin Cheng received a call from the mayor of Whale City.

"Hello, Mayor Wen, have you found out?"

There was some silence on the other end of the phone, but the person still informed Jin Cheng in a very calm tone.

"Comrade Jin Cheng, I have heard the news, but it is not good news for you. Your son's matter is indeed a criminal offense. As for the specific crime, I cannot tell you. Comrade Hai Feng is not targeting you."

And the people your son offended... The female classmate your son was pursuing was named Chen Zhengxi, right?

According to the information I've gathered, among the provincial and ministerial-level officials on the list, only one has a daughter with this name, and she's also studying at a teachers' university.

Upon hearing this, Jin Cheng was already sweating profusely, and the veins on his fingers gripping the phone were bulging.

"Mayor Wen, please continue!"

Upon hearing this, Mayor Wen did not rush to mention Chen Luo's name. Instead, he sighed first and then said quietly, "You can't afford to offend this person's background. Do you really want to hear it?"

"listen!"

"Alright, then I might as well tell you that your son is harassing Minister Chen's daughter!"

"Oh? That Minister Chen?"

"Chen Luo, the newly transferred Vice Minister of the Central Propaganda Department and Director of the Cyberspace Administration of China, who has just returned to Beijing from Guangdong Province to serve as the Director of the State Internet Information Office and the Director of the Internet Society of China, is hereby appointed as Minister Chen!"

boom!

In an instant, Jin Cheng froze on the spot. What was the difference between offending this person and directly offending a cabinet member?

"Mayor Wen, are you sure..."

"I'm absolutely certain! Alright, Comrade Jin Cheng, I've already asked my father to find out the information you wanted. From now on, we'll only have a working relationship as superior and subordinate, nothing more!"

Chapter 471 Denying it to the death? Then you might as well really die!

After saying that, Mayor Wen hung up the phone, afraid that he would hear Jin Cheng make another request.

One minute, two minutes, ten minutes passed, and Jin Cheng still hadn't recovered from his shock.

He only sat back down in his chair when his thighs started to ache, his face extremely pale. He, as a high-ranking official, had heard of Chen Luo's fearsome reputation. Back in Handong, Chen Luo could stir up storms and was as dazzling as the Purple Star in the sky.

His two years working in Guangdong Province were equally successful. Putting aside everything else, Jin Cheng simply didn't have the courage to touch upon the sensitive issue of cracking down on illegal immigrants.

"It's over, it's all over!"

At this moment, Jin Cheng understood everything. No wonder Yun Haifeng didn't buy into his plans.

Back in Handong, Yun Haifeng was Chen Luo's old subordinate. Now that this has happened, he certainly won't let his son off easily.

"At this point, we have no choice but to abandon this situation!"

No cadre who has climbed to this level is a fool; they know perfectly well that continuing to confront them will only result in them suffering heavy losses.

Jin Chengcai wouldn't take the risk. Although he only had one son, the only consequence of ignoring him would be a few years in prison.

If he continues to act recklessly, he might lose his position as executive vice mayor. It's clear which is more important.

But can he really avoid it?

The answer is no. Staff from the Whale City Public Security Bureau and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection have arrived. Yun Haifeng has packaged up a copy of the materials containing Jin Shiwen's confession and handed it to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

With this as a lead, the municipal discipline inspection commission can report the situation to the higher-level discipline inspection commission.

Of course, the higher-level discipline inspection commission will provide specific plans on whether to investigate and how to investigate.

Jin Cheng in Whale City was very anxious, but in Zhongjiang, someone was even more anxious than him.

At this moment, in the interrogation room of the Zhongjiang inspection team, large beads of sweat were dripping from the forehead of Wang Zheng, the executive vice governor of Zhongjiang Province.

Sitting opposite him were Tian Guofu, the head of the inspection team, and Luo Shanhe, the head of the supervision team.

Both Luo Shanhe and Tian Guofu had unusually grim expressions, exuding an imposing aura even without anger.

"Comrade Wang Zheng, this is the last time we will question and talk to you. You must know very well that we have called you here again not just because we suspect you."

To put it bluntly, some of the clues we have are pointing to you. It's not that we're unwilling to give you a chance, but if you're willing to confess now, it will be considered a surrender, and the subsequent treatment will be more lenient.

Of course, you can continue to play dumb and keep it a secret, but when it's finally discovered... Comrade Wang Zheng, the higher-ups will have to deal with you severely!

Did you understand?

As soon as Tian Guofu finished speaking, Wang Zheng's legs began to tremble involuntarily. This almost open investigation only amplified Wang Zheng's psychological pressure.

The inspection team and the supervisory team came specifically for him!

But Wang Zheng was no ordinary person. He knew all too well the consequences of confessing. Therefore, he could only go down this path to the end. He took a deep breath and denied it, saying, "Team Leader Luo, Director Tian, ​​I already said last time that I, Wang Zheng, am a senior cadre cultivated by the Party and the people. Everything I think about and do is based on the people's perspective."

I did indeed oversee operations in Green Vine City for a long time, but I really had no dealings with Long Vine Capital outside of work; it was all just normal support for the company's development.

If Team Leader Luo and Director Tian don't believe me, then I really have no way to help them.

Luo Shanhe and Tian Guofu were not very concerned about Wang Zheng's struggles, having already guessed that he would not easily confess.

"Alright, since Comrade Wang Zheng feels that you have no problems, you can leave now."

The conversation ended abruptly, but Wang Zheng was not happy as he walked out of the interrogation room. The inspection team and the supervisory team had already revealed their true intentions, so how should he deal with them?

Watching Wang Zheng leave, Tian Guofu finally sighed.
