Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Mayor Qin Falls from Power!

Quyang Municipal Public Security Bureau had already been taken over by the forces from Jiang City, led by Wu Kai, the Deputy Director of Jiang City Public Security Bureau and Xu Qianli’s close friend.

He ordered all police personnel in Quyang City to immediately return to their units, report for duty and await further instructions.

Zi Yumo had already pried quite a bit of information out of Wang Dazheng’s mouth, uncovering a long list of names, which she immediately sent to Wu Kai.

Upon receiving the list, Wu Kai immediately dispatched police forces to make the arrests, implementing a responsibility system—anyone who allowed the apprehended individuals to escape would be immediately removed from their position and investigated!

Even if the local police in Quyang City had any intention of helping out the locals, they no longer dared. For their own jobs and future, they all buckle down and begin arresting people, with a large number of individuals being netted.

Among them was even a heavyweight figure, the Mayor of Quyang City, Qin Houde!

According to Wang Dazheng’s confession, his rise over the years was all thanks to the care from Qin Houde.

Since ten years ago, when Qin was just a deputy mayor, he had colluded with Wang Dazheng. The two of them had been in cahoots, helping each other and engaging in many disreputable deeds.

Now, because of the matter involving Jiang Zihan, not only had Wang Dazheng been caught, but Qin Houde had also been brought to light and controlled by the special investigation team!

The arrest of Wang Dazheng had already caused many in Quyang City to tremble with fear.

Suddenly, news of Qin Houde’s arrest spread, frightening many even more.

In one night, there were over ten cases of jumping from buildings and rivers in Quyang City, resulting in four deaths and more injuries, all connected in some way to Wang Dazheng’s case.

When dawn broke, the arrests had halted, and most of the people on the list spit out by Wang Dazheng had been apprehended.

By dawn, at least ten percent of Quyang City’s officials had fallen into the hands of the special investigation team, highlighting the extensive infiltration of Wang Dazheng into the Quyang City officialdom.

The Provincial Committee and Provincial Government of Wangdong Province, the Provincial Public Security Department, and the Disciplinary Committee all attached great importance to this case, with many rushing over overnight.

The Disciplinary Committee Secretary and Provincial Department Chief had already arrived, and even the Provincial Party Secretary He Changhong was present, presiding over the meeting.

Secretary He was thunderous in his rebuke, criticizing the inaction of Quyang City’s officials, and called for this opportunity to be used to thoroughly investigate Quyang City’s officialdom, correct the local atmosphere, and cleanse the remaining poison.

At the meeting, Ding Li, the top leader of Quyang City, made a profound self-criticism and asked the Disciplinary Committee to inspect him first, to set an example.

He Changhong immediately agreed, instructing the Disciplinary Committee and Provincial Department to dispatch elite forces, form a special team, and inspect all officials from the deputy level up in Quyang City, starting with the City Secretary Ding Li, for one month, ensuring a comprehensive review of all deputy level and above officials.

On the subject of Wang Dali’s case, the interrogation of the captured personnel continued unabated, soon digging up many more significant cases.

Wang Dali had not only repeatedly forced female university students, leading to their suicides by jumping from buildings, but several had also been silenced by him through murder and burial.

In addition, the businesses under his Tianyao Real Estate in the past years had also killed many people, committing at least thirty homicides.

Most of these incidents were carried out by his privately owned security company, and he had also hired gang leaders like Dragon and Tiger to eliminate those who obstructed his financial path.

As for why these affairs could be smoothed over officially, much was owed to Zang Guohua, Liang Hui, and Qin Houde.

Because Xu Qianli had stood up for Jiang Zihan, they had unexpectedly unearthed a criminal network entrenched in Quyang City, composed of Wang Dazheng, gang leaders Dragon and Tiger, Zang Guohua, Liang Hui, Qin Houde, and others—a network of grave significance.

Given the magnitude of this case, Zi Yumo did not dare to delay and bypassed Wangdong Provincial Department, directly contacting the Ministry of Public Security.

Furious, the Ministry of Public Security immediately dispatched elite personnel to Quyang City to take over the case.

The severity of this case was overwhelming, not only involving dozens of lives but also implicating the local underworld and numerous officials. The Ministry of Public Security took over, vowing to eradicate the evil completely!

Originally, many people in Wangdong Province disagreed with the play of forces from small Jiang City investigating the major case in Quyang City, but when the Ministry of Public Security intervened, all obstacles vanished, and no one dared to block the investigation.

As the one leading the case, Xu Qianli, dressed in black trousers and a white shirt with a white flower pinned on his chest, led a few people to a special place, the Quyang Municipal Cemetery, to pay tribute to Jiang Zihan.

On the tombstone, Jiang Zihan’s smile was as bright as flowers, brimming with youth.

She was just in her early twenties and should have had a most wonderful future.

But now, she had already turned to ash, resting silently in a small box in this cold, gloomy place.

It was all because of Wang Dazheng, all because of that bastard!

Xu Qianli wished he could flay him alive and use his blood to honor Jiang Zihan!

Aunt Zhou wailed loudly in front of the tombstone. When she had cried her fill, she pointed at Xu Qianli and spoke to Jiang Zihan, “Your brother Xu Qianli, your Hong Yu brother has come back; he has come back to avenge you. Those who harmed you are doomed!”

Especially Wang Dazheng, once the case is cleared up, he will definitely not escape the death penalty. He is doomed!

After paying their respects, the group returned to the city. Xu Qianli went back to his home and locked himself in his room, drowning his sorrow in smoking.

Although he had avenged Jiang Zihan and Wang Dazheng was about to face execution and was certain to be shot,

what did it matter? The dead cannot be brought back to life; his sister Zihan would never live again.

Unconsciously finishing a pack of cigarettes, Xu Qianli felt dizzy and overwhelmed.

Ever since learning about Jiang Zihan’s suicide, Xu Qianli hadn’t slept for days. Now, unable to endure any longer, he collapsed onto the floor and fell asleep right there.

In a daze, Xu Qianli dreamed, returning to his childhood. He was about ten years old, and Jiang Zihan was five or six, calling him “Hong Yu brother” in her childlike voice.

Everything felt so real, as if Jiang Zihan had come back to life, returned to her carefree childhood days.

“Hong Yu brother, Hong Yu brother, wake up…”

In a haze, someone was calling him again, but it wasn’t Jiang Zihan’s voice.

When Xu Qianli opened his eyes, he saw a young and pretty girl around twenty-three or four years old standing beside him.

Seeing her, Xu Qianli didn’t recognize her at all and quickly asked, “Who are you?”

The girl pointed at her own face, “It’s me, it’s me. Hong Yu brother, don’t you recognize me? We were so close when we were kids, you even said you were going to marry me when we grew up, and now you pretend not to know me?”

“We knew each other when we were kids, and I said I was going to marry you?”

Xu Qianli looked the girl up and down, from every angle.

It must be said, her figure was indeed impressive. Kneeling beside him, her height unclear, her chest was really ample; let alone her child-like face, a perfect combination of youth and maturity.

Not only was her figure fetching, but her skin was also pale as snow, her eyes large and expressive, a sight for sore eyes.

This girl was not bad, but he really didn’t recognize her at all.
