152: Chapter 152 The Downfall of the Yang Family Father and Son

Qin Chuan arrived at the Mayor's office once again.

Naturally, he had heard many of the rumors; everyone was discussing Mayor Yang's demotion. However, since the official documents from the organization had not yet been issued, work-related matters still required Yang Fuguo's attention.

Seeing that it was Qin Chuan who knocked and entered, Yang Fuguo's face darkened instantly, becoming extremely gloomy.

At this point, there was no need to hide anything; his dissatisfaction and anger toward Qin Chuan were fully displayed on his face.

Qin Chuan merely chuckled, though it was mostly a mocking laugh.

"Mayor Yang, I have a document here that needs your signature."

After saying this, he placed the document needing a signature in front of Yang Fuguo.

Yang Fuguo gave a cold laugh. "Do you think I will sign it?"

Qin Chuan said, "It's best if you sign it now. If you don't, it doesn't matter. Rumor has it you are being transferred soon. I'll just wait a few days and have the new mayor sign it."

As the son of the Provincial Party Secretary, Qin Chuan naturally knew best that the appointment of the new mayor had already been approved; he would arrive to take office in just a few days.

Coming here for a signature wasn't his main goal. If it got signed, great; if not, it didn't matter.

Qin Chuan mainly came to see Yang Fuguo; seeing him miserable made him feel inexplicably comfortable.

"I won't sign it. Take it away!"

Qin Chuan smiled. "Vice Department Director Yang, why such a big temper? Fine, no signature then. When do you take office, Vice Department Director Yang? Do you want us to give you a send-off?"

These words were a bit heart-stabbing!

There was no such thing as a send-off for a demotion; wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

In this situation, one would usually take up the new post quietly without alerting anyone, because it was a demotion!

Sure enough, Yang Fuguo's expression changed again, filled with warning. "Qin Chuan, you are determined to oppose me, aren't you?"

Qin Chuan remained calm and shook his head. "Vice Department Director Yang, you've misunderstood. I never intended to oppose you; rather, you were always thinking of dealing with me."

"From now on, the road ahead is long. I hope that once you reach your new post, Vice Department Director Yang, you will keep a low profile and act honestly."

After saying this, Qin Chuan laughed and left without looking back.

Bang!

Yang Fuguo grabbed the teacup from the table and smashed it onto the floor, thinking viciously, "He definitely did that on purpose. Knowing I was demoted, he came here specifically to mock me. How detestable!"

Incompetent rage!

That perfectly described Yang Fuguo at this moment. He truly had no options left. His backer in the province had already warned him to tuck his tail between his legs from now on and never offend Qin Chuan, or else the consequences would be severe.

After leaving the Mayor's office, Qin Chuan went to Secretary Yu Zhikun's place for a bit to chat and report on work matters before leaving.

After leaving the Municipal Party Committee, he didn't rush back to the Market Supervision Bureau. Instead, he went to the Public Security Bureau to visit Lei Jianping and have a cup of tea.

Lei Jianping was very welcoming.

Even a blind person could see that Qin Chuan's background was certainly extraordinary; otherwise, the Yang father and son wouldn't have been dealt with so miserably.

Lei Jianping had the intention of befriending him, so he chatted with Qin Chuan while they drank tea.

"Brother Qin, Young Master Yang Wenhao's issues have been fully investigated. He will be handed over to the Procuratorate in a couple of days. There's a high probability of a death sentence."

With the Provincial Party Secretary personally issuing instructions, no one dared to show favoritism or plead for mercy. As a result, Young Master Yang Wenhao was in trouble and would likely face the firing squad.

"Brother Qin, do you want to go see Young Master Yang Wenhao? This guy cursed you quite a bit during the interrogation. However, after learning his fate, he's basically like a dead fish now."

Going to see Young Master Yang Wenhao—he was definitely interested in that.

Back then, that guy was arrogant and supercilious enough. Seeing him like this now would surely feel satisfying.

Qin Chuan said, "Really? I can go see Young Master Yang Wenhao?"

"If Brother Qin is interested, I'll take you to see him."

"Sure, then I'll trouble you, Director Lei."

Led by Lei Jianping, Qin Chuan soon saw the detained Young Master Yang Wenhao. Handcuffed, his eyes were listless and hollow; he looked nothing like he used to.

Perhaps sensing someone approaching, Young Master Yang Wenhao looked up. He likely recognized Qin Chuan, as his eyes, which had been like a dead fish's, immediately lit up.

These past few days, he had thought a lot and finally realized he had hit a steel plate. Qin Chuan's background must be far stronger than his own; otherwise, his father, the mayor, wouldn't be so powerless.

In the past, whenever something happened, Yang Fuguo would just give a word, and big matters were made small while small matters vanished. In the end, there were basically no consequences.

This time, the situation was completely different, driving Young Master Yang Wenhao to despair.

Upon seeing Qin Chuan, he became somewhat agitated as if he had been revived. He stumbled over, grabbed the iron bars tightly, and said excitedly.

"Young Master Qin, I was wrong! I was wrong!"

"Young Master Qin, give me a break! I don't want to die! I'm still young, I don't want to die..."

Qin Chuan gave a cold smile. If he had known this would happen, why did he act that way in the first place?

Seeing that Qin Chuan didn't react much, Young Master Yang Wenhao actually fell to his knees with a thud and began kowtowing repeatedly, covered in snot and tears as he begged piteously.

"Young Master Qin, give me a break! I'll never do it again!"

"Young Master Qin, as long as you let me go, I'll work for you like a slave in the future. I really don't want to die..."

Seeing Young Master Yang Wenhao like this, Qin Chuan gradually lost interest. He turned and walked away, leaving Young Master Yang Wenhao still kowtowing there.

The personnel adjustments from the higher organization came quickly. Official documents were sent to Jianning City: Yang Fuguo was demoted and transferred to a certain department in the province as a Deputy Director.

Two days later, the new mayor arrived to take office.

Qin Chuan went to the city to attend the cadre meeting, saw the new mayor, and even went to his office to report on work.

The new mayor was also very straightforward. He signed the document and praised Qin Chuan, saying he had heard in the province about the Market Supervision Bureau's investigation into the largest gutter oil case in Handong Province. He encouraged him to keep up the good work and achieve even greater results.

Today, as usual, Qin Chuan went to work twenty or thirty minutes early, entering his office around 8:30 AM.

Not long after sitting down in his office, the Food Safety Division Chief knocked and entered.

"Director Qin, there's a situation I feel is necessary to report to you."

"Oh? Go ahead, what is it?"

"It's like this: during a random inspection of several well-known international fast-food chain stores in our city, our people discovered 'Sudan Red I' in their New Orleans chicken wings and New Orleans chicken leg burgers."

Both of these companies were Fortune Global 500 companies and major international chains. After discovering the issue, the Food Safety Division Chief didn't dare to delay and immediately reported to Qin Chuan in person.

After listening, Qin Chuan felt this issue could not be ignored. He instructed, "Arrange a meeting with the persons in charge of these two restaurants in Jianning City. I will report this to the Provincial Bureau and suggest they also check the provincial capital for similar situations."

"Alright, I'll arrange the meeting with their representatives in Jianning City."

After the two of them discussed the matter for a while, Qin Chuan picked up the phone and made a report to the Provincial Bureau.

The issue of "Sudan Red" could not be taken lightly. Qin Chuan was well aware of its dangers. Even if the other party was a Fortune Global 500 company or an international chain, he wouldn't let them off easily; there was no room for glossing things over.
