Chapter 1421: Zhao Hongwen Is Taken away

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Qin Yiqing felt a little uneasy when she saw Gu Ning, but Gu Ning already forgave her for what she had done before. In Gu Ning’s eyes, Qin Yiqing was basically a stranger.

“Gu Ning, have you had breakfast?” Mrs. Qin politely asked.

“Yes, I have,” Gu Ning said. “Have you heard any news from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection?”

“It’s only been a day, and we’ve heard nothing from it. If they could be as efficient as you, those corrupt officials would be caught already!” Qin Haozheng said. He wasn’t mad at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, but simply complained about its efficiency.

Sometimes, upright officials were slandered and punished because of the lack of evidence. Although they might be released and cleared after several years, they were mentally damaged.

“I already reported it to Governor Xiao, and he agreed to help me. All we need to do now is to wait, and Uncle Qin will be released soon,” Gu Ning said.

“Really?” Hearing that, everyone was excited.

“Gu Ning, are you Governor Xiao’s friend?” Mrs. Qin asked with surprise. She knew that Gu Ning had powerful connections, but she was still shocked when Gu Ning said that Xiao Changchun was willing to help her. Gu Ning was a young girl after all.

“Yeah, there is a story between us,” Gu Ning said.

…

At 9:30 am, shortly after Zhao Hongwen arrived at his office, people from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection broke in.

Zhao Hongwen was struck dumb when he saw them. As a senior official, he absolutely recognized them.

“What are you…” Zhao Hongwen opened his mouth. He didn’t understand why they suddenly broke into his office.

“Zhao Hongwen, you’ve been reported for bribery and corruption, and you also made someone a scapegoat for a car accident that you caused. You’re under investigation now,” said a staffer of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

“What?” Zhao Hongwen panicked, because he had indeed done all of the above things, but he soon calmed himself down. “It’s slander. Slander!”

In fact, even Zhao Hongwen didn’t believe his own words. Because once people from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection came, they had evidence, which worried Zhao Hongwen. Whether the evidence was enough to put him in jail or not, depended on the judge. Most importantly, he had committed many crimes before, so he was scared now.

“We’ll know afterwards,” the staffer said.

Zhao Hongwen knew that he couldn’t resist, but he was unwilling to be taken away like that. He had to turn to the man backing him for help.

“Excuse me, my stomach is a little uncomfortable and I need to use the washroom for a minute,” Zhao Hongwen said.

“Be quick.” The staffer knew what Zhao Hongwen wanted to do, but he didn’t mind, because it was useless. There was solid evidence of Zhao Hongwen’s crimes, and Xiao Changchun had given an order to deal with it seriously.
