Rebirth of Corrupt Officials

Chapter 72.1

Jiang Xiaochuan needed to face many investigations, including bribery, abuse of position, and abuse of power for personal gain.

However, what Jiang Xiaochuan did not expect was on the second day of the investigation, Lian Cheng put a piece of information in front of him with a livid face.

Jiang Xiaochuan was the son of Qiu Yu and Jiang Encheng.

“What’s going on?” Lian Cheng’s voice was cold.

Jiang Xiaochuan was stunned, “How did you find out?”

‘No, he should actually have asked, did you find out just now?’

Lian Cheng was sitting opposite him. He had moved to a special area on the outskirts of the city. The environment outside was very good, but there were many people guarding it. Every interrogation was different. Jiang Xiaochuan wondered if he had found any clues about what he had told Lian Cheng last time.

Lian Cheng said, “She went abroad, changed her nationality, and gave herself a new identity. But the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is not all joking. As long as there are clues, we can find out. Your father’s death is definitely not a joke. Although it was indeed handled in the name of an accident, we still have people following up, which can lead to many different things, but they didn’t expect to find out such secrets.”

It was their own fault, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection didn’t do enough homework before and didn’t find out this relationship, so now they were so overwhelmed by the news that they were in a panic, and because they didn’t find out the news in advance, Lian Cheng was now very passive.

Even if he tried to protect Jiang Xiaochuan, he was unable to do anything. Maybe in the end, he could only give up his chess piece.

At that moment, Lian Cheng felt his patience was about to run out. His secret agent was involved with the underworld, had stepped over the line on his own initiative, and also had an unclear relationship with the military region. What was he going to do now? What should be done to get Jiang Xiaochuan out of such a dangerous situation?

Sometimes, he himself was confused.

“If you don’t tell me, how can I safely keep you here? Some insiders from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection already suspect you have betrayed them and want to examine you. I’m afraid something unexpected will happen then.”

Lian Cheng finally managed to suppress his anxiety and impatience. He explained the stakes to Jiang Xiaochuan with a calmness that he could barely maintain. Jiang Xiaochuan knew these relationships, but he didn’t want to acknowledge them, so Lian Cheng could only emphasize them over and over again. “Remember clearly, Rong Shaobai is dead now. The matters related to him are the most difficult to deal with. The entire Rong Group will not be implicated now. After all, it is completely legal from a legal point of view and there are no violations. Rong Shaobai was a genius, and I admire him very much, but that doesn’t mean I agree with many of his actions, including his dealings with you. An official should not interact with these criminals. If you really cooperated with him, it would be a violation of the law.”

Jiang Xiaochuan still didn’t say anything. It was about Yue Qingci, how could he say it? And Yue Qingci in this life...wasn’t it the same as in the previous life?

Yue Qingci didn’t owe him half a penny. The relationship between the two of them was just a simple interest relationship. Objectively speaking, Yue Qingci helped him more. If he revealed the true purpose of their cooperation, then neither the dead Rong Shaobai nor Yue Qingci, who was far away in Tibet, would end well.

“Lian Cheng, it’s not that I don’t know the stakes here, it’s just that—I can’t say.”

Even if he explained the obvious truths again, Jiang Xiaochuan would only have two words—‘I’m sorry.’

He looked at the young man in front of him who was suppressing his deep anger, touched his eyebrows, and vaguely recalled the feeling of the bullet passing through his head. In addition to being thrilling, he also felt a sense of nostalgia.

It was a death and a rebirth.
