"After you finish eating, I’ll give you a massage!" Zhang Yantong served a bowl of congee to Ye Chen, then personally fed him. With every spoonful of congee, Zhang Yantong would blow on it twice, then test the temperature. If it was too hot, she would keep blowing. It was truly ticulous care. Ye Chen felt a slight warmth in his heart and after finishing a bowl of congee, he felt as if he was filled with strength.
"Thank you, Tongtong!" Ye Chen said gratefully.
"It’s nothing! How are you feeling, do you want more?" Zhang Yantong smiled faintly. For her, as long as Ye Chen was okay, she was willing to pay any price, even sacrificing her own life.
"No need, help outside for a walk!" Ye Chen looked at Zhang Yantong.
"Okay!" Zhang Yantong nodded.
Zhang Yantong supported Ye Chen. Even though almost all of Ye Chen’s weight was on her shoulder, she didn’t feel tired at all. She worked hard to support him. After walking out of the hospital room, they were greeted by the nice sunlight. The morning sun shone on the earth, without much heat and not too harsh. The two found an open spot and sat cross-legged on the grass.
"How do you feel? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?" Zhang Yantong asked anxiously.
"No, it’s fine!" Ye Chen smiled.
"Do you know how upset I was the day the doctor pronounced you dead? Especially yesterday when your vital signs disappeared, it was such a heavy blow to !" Zhang Yantong held Ye Chen’s hands and stared into his eyes, saying, "You are the most important person in my life, you’re everything to . If you left, I don’t think I could go on living!"
"I know!" Ye Chen cupped Zhang Yantong’s face and said, "Your crying has imprinted on my heart. I felt your every move!"
"Really?" Zhang Yantong looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.
"Of course!" Ye Chen nodded and said, "Don’t think that just because I was unconscious, I knew nothing. In fact, I could feel everything around !"
"Really!" Zhang Yantong looked at Ye Chen in amazent.
"Of course!" Ye Chen nodded.
Just as the two were talking, Fang Qin hurriedly ran over, panting with a look of joy on her face. She looked around and finally saw Ye Chen and Zhang Yantong on the lawn. She ran over and excitedly said, "Ye Chen, good morning, Captain Zhang, there’s good news!"
"Hmm? What’s the good news?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.
"Well..." Fang Qin was slightly taken aback, and Zhang Yantong laughed and said, "Go ahead, Ye Chen is not an outsider!"
"Okay!" Fang Qin nodded and then said, "Liu Zhonghai’s cris have been confird, and he has been stripped of all positions. Now Ji Changguo has also been put under investigation, and a few of his subordinates will probably confess soon. Haha, they are all going down!"
"Oh my, this is good news!" Zhang Yantong hadn’t expected that her previously low mood would suddenly turn into excitent. Ye Chen’s recovery, Liu Zhonghai and Ji Changguo’s downfall, it was a double blessing. Zhang Yantong excitedly said, "That’s great, this is simply wonderful!"
"What makes you so happy?" Ye Chen seed a bit confused, because all these events happened during his coma, and Ye Chen’s frequent mysterious disappearances were nothing new to Li Ruo and Feng Zhixiao. So during the ten days Ye Chen was missing, they showed no reaction.
However, Dian Ling had called Zhang Yantong to inquire about Ye Chen’s situation. At that ti, Zhang Yantong was still waiting for news about Ye Chen and only told Dian Ling that Ye Chen was okay. So Dian Ling didn’t think much of it, after all, Ye Chen’s skills spoke for themselves. Ordinary ten or twenty people were not Ye Chen’s match.
Zhang Yantong hurriedly recounted the events to Ye Chen. Ye Chen suddenly understood and then laughed, "It’s good they were caught. Such parasites are best used as a warning to others. Otherwise, they will only grow more nurous!"
"Alas, unfortunately, the state has long turned a blind eye to such cases." Zhang Yantong sighed.
"Nepotism is dragging our country deeper into a vortex of anti-corruption!" Ye Chen saw through it all, as did many others who could see the root cause. The hardest part of anti-corruption in the country is the connections between officials. Pull one weed, and a lot of dirt cos with it. So to eliminate corruption, the system needs fundantal changes.
Ji Changguo soon confessed. When the Disciplinary Inspection Committee steps in, there are basically no problems that can’t be solved. Although Ji Changguo’s embezzlent amount wasn’t as much as Liu Zhonghai’s, as Liu’s superior, he naturally beca the pri example in this anti-corruption campaign, including his subordinates.
In less than ten days, the Provincial Committee’s official website issued a series of notices, removing Ji Changguo and several key provincial officials from their positions and expelling them from the party, among other punishnts. Ji Changguo was quickly prosecuted by the public security and legal authorities and soon sent to jail.
This case, involving the largest amount of embezzlent since the founding of the republic and affecting nurous high-ranking officials, set a cautionary example for many with Ji Changguo’s downfall. Naturally, Zhang Kaiguo’s opponent disappeared, and Zhang Kaiguo smoothly took over Ji Changguo’s power and placed his trusted aides in top positions.
"Now I finally understand!" So seasoned politicians remarked knowingly, "All of this was orchestrated by soone from behind the scenes. Now Ji Changguo’s fall is rely a joke!"
Soone curiously asked, "Why is it a joke?"
"How is it not a joke?" The seasoned politician smiled lightly and then said, "Without Wu He, without Liu Zhonghai’s direct conflict with Zhang Yantong, would a big shot like Ji Changguo have fallen? Simply put, Wu He was a crucial factor in Ji Changguo’s downfall. Of course, there were many other factors, such as Ye Chen. He was also a very pivotal elent. Without his background in the central authorities, even if Ye Chen died, likely no one would care!"
"I see!" Everyone suddenly realized.
The Disciplinary Inspection Committee operates without needing any reasons. If they catch even the slightest wrongdoing, you’re bound to step down. The Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee is the sword in the hands of the highest leaders, specifically targeting corrupt officials. Although Ji Changguo’s downfall seed sowhat unjust this ti, it clearly showed how deep Ye Chen’s background was.
After staying in Tongzhou City for a while, Ye Chen went back to Jianghuai City. He left the remaining ss in Tongzhou City to Zhang Yantong, who gladly took over. As long as Ye Chen was alive, there was always a way forward, no matter how hard or tiring it was.
The situation in Tongzhou City could temporarily be set aside as Ye Chen returned to Jianghuai City. The matters in Tongzhou naturally triggered a series of responses in Jianghuai City. Jiang Zhonggen held several consecutive etings in Tongzhou City, requesting further education for so party and governnt colleagues. They needed to be honest and upright and set up an integrity account, asking them to deposit all the embezzled and bribed funds into this account without pursuing responsibility.
This integrity account quickly beca a hot topic, amassing billions in funds in a short ti. Jiang Zhonggen was very happy, believing the etings were effective. However, he didn’t look beyond the appearance to see the substance; such a large sum of money was certainly not all the funds from the corrupt officials. It might only be a fraction, or even just a fraction of a fraction.
"Very good!" Jiang Zhonggen said with a pleased smile to his assistant who ca to report, "So many comrades willing to repent, we really must give them an opportunity. Imdiately report this good news to the Provincial Committee!"
"Yes!" The assistant nodded promptly, and the news reached the Provincial Committee. Zhang Kaiguo personally endorsed it, indicating that Jiang Zhonggen’s work was comndable. He also instructed that the funds in the integrity account be turned over to the national treasury and that this thod should be applied within the Provincial Committee.
Receiving the endorsent, Jiang Zhonggen was elated, for gaining acknowledgnt from superiors was the ultimate goal for those working below.
Outside the Heavenly Reversal Gang, Ye Chen drove to the entrance, his body still sowhat weak. Nevertheless, these did not hinder Ye Chen. After all, the two bullets hadn’t taken his life, so how could so bodily weakness bring Ye Chen down?
"Brother Chen!" Feng Zhixiao and others ca out from the Heavenly Reversal Gang.
"Hmm!" Ye Chen nodded. Feng Zhixiao walked toward Ye Chen, smiling, "Brother Chen, we have found a lead during the half month you were away!"
"What lead?" Ye Chen was surprised.
"The investigation on that foreigner, the foreign girl who crippled Liu the Tyrant!" Feng Zhixiao hurriedly said.
"Hmm? Where is she?" Ye Chen asked urgently.
