Rebirth of Corrupt Officials

Chapter 65.1

Jiang Xiaochuan sat on his sofa, pressing a file bag into the bottom of the box, and placing the brand-new file bag on the coffee table. Wei Lai was about to arrive, so he packed up everything on his desk and put it in the drawer.

Wei Lai knocked on the door on time and came in. He was still a little puzzled. Jiang Xiaochuan used to solve all the problems in the government office, but just now Jiang Xiaochuan called him and asked Wei Lai to come to his house. This was really not in line with Jiang Xiaochuan’s usual style.

What Jiang Xiaochuan liked was to get all his official work done in government offices and rarely disturb Wei Lai in his private time, except for some important matters.

Jiang Xiaochuan opened the door for him, poured water for him, and asked him to sit down.

Wei Lai was a little flattered, but this was at Jiang Xiaochuan’s home. From Jiang Xiaochuan’s point of view, this was just fulfilling the obligations of the host.

The furnishings in the entire living room remained as they were when Jiang Encheng was alive. The chessboard was placed on the other side, illuminated by the light, making it look a little lonely and desolate for no reason.

Jiang Xiaochuan was sitting opposite Wei Lai. There was a file bag on the coffee table between the two of them. He actually wanted to give it to Lian Cheng that day, but he didn’t expect he would bump into Lian Cheng’s anger. He also was a little depressed when he came out, so he forgot this very important thing, and when he turned back to look for Lian Cheng, their current mood wasn’t good, so he changed his mind.

“This matter could be said as important, but it is not that important. To be precise, the process is not important, but the result is important.” This was Jiang Xiaochuan’s first sentence when he sat down with Wei Lai, and it was also his opening statement. He looked at Wei Lai with his eyes and handed the brand-new portfolio to Wei Lai. “Xue Yan found this file bag. It is of great significance.”

In fact, when Jiang Xiaochuan said that Xue Yan was the one who found it, Wei Lai knew the value of the file bag in front of him. Xue Yan had a nickname “Persistent Xue”. One could guess how serious he was in his daily disciplinary inspection work, and one could also imagine how many enemies he had made. Now Xue Yan was still in a vegetative state and didn’t know the situation outside. This mysterious file was probably the reason why he was stabbed.

He knew clearly about Chengzhou’s situation, but he was unable to make more changes. When the old city renovation was leaked, the plan was temporarily shelved for safety reasons. Not to mention the resistance encountered by the reform of state-owned enterprises, and the underworld forces after the cleaning, there were still Qingtuan and Hong families lurking around.

Recently, because of the big breakthrough in Lu Xiu, Jiang Xiaochuan proposed to clean up again. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was there, giving Jiang Xiaochuan the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The collusion between officials and gangsters should not have been too obvious.

Jiang Xiaochuan was the second-in-command in Chengzhou, but the absolute power was still in the hands of Li Dakai. Jiang Xiaochuan actually did not have much say in many important decisions.

Everything was going around like this, but today, he hoped to make some different changes.

Because, this piece of information inside the file bag contained some earth-shattering secrets.

He did not expect that there would be such a thing in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, which was internally purged, and he never expected this person. This file should have been the one that Xue Yan obtained on his inspection work. He didn’t know how this file went into his hands, and he didn’t know who sent it to him. If anyone could have thought of a way to send it to him. It must be Xue Yan. But the mail was sent after Xue Yan got injured. At that time, could Xue Yan still capable of delivering the mail without anyone noticing?

The doctors had determined that Xue Yan’s injury occurred a long time ago.

When he opened the package, there was also a printed note inside that read, “Xue Yan asked me to hand it over.”

The file bag was stained with blood. At first, he didn’t know whose blood it belonged to, but then something happened to Xue Yan, and he roughly guessed it.
