82: Chapter 82 I Know Who This Person Is

"Huh!"

Qin Chuan stopped in his tracks, slightly surprised. He never expected to see Township Head Chen Qunfeng here.

This guy was sitting in the passenger seat of a red Volkswagen sedan, while the driver was a woman in her thirties who looked quite attractive.

The two were chatting and laughing inside the car, looking very intimate.

Township Head Chen Qunfeng even kissed the woman on the cheek, and then, she responded by kissing him on the cheek as well.

This... this woman was not Township Head Chen Qunfeng's wife.

Qin Chuan had met his wife before; she was in her forties, fat, and ugly, nowhere near as pretty as the woman before him.

Director Luo Bing noticed it too.

"That's Township Head Chen Qunfeng from your Dahe Township. He really knows how to play around. I know that woman; she's the vice principal of the First High School."

That explained it.

Township Head Chen Qunfeng used to be the head of the County Education Bureau, and that woman was once just an English teacher at the First High School. Within a year or two, she had been promoted from a regular English teacher to a grade level head, then to the director of academic affairs, and now, she was the vice principal.

Qin Chuan's gaze fell upon the pair.

The two of them didn't notice at all and remained very affectionate. Township Head Chen Qunfeng had even started getting handsy, sliding his hand inside the woman's clothes.

"Director Luo, this is a very good lead. If you look into this, there will definitely be some surprising discoveries."

Director Luo Bing agreed completely. "Secretary Qin, rest assured, we will definitely dig into Township Head Chen Qunfeng until everything is exposed."

It was clear that Director Luo Bing was a man who hated evil as much as he hated his enemies; he couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes. In his heart, he had already completely labeled Township Head Chen Qunfeng as a major corrupt element.

From a distance of twenty or thirty meters, after watching the live show for two or three minutes, Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's get something to eat first."

Until the two left, Township Head Chen Qunfeng didn't notice a thing. He was probably so focused on the woman that he wouldn't have paid any attention to his surroundings.

Two days later.

Director Luo Bing was very efficient. In just two short days, he had almost completely dug up everything on Township Head Chen Qunfeng. And sure enough, the phone call came through.

"Secretary Qin, I've basically finished investigating what you needed. How about I bring these things over to you?"

Qin Chuan felt a surge of joy.

As expected of Director Luo Bing, he was truly capable!

He had originally thought it would take at least five or six days, or even a week or more. Who would have known that it would be mostly done in just two short days?

"Director Luo, I'll come over instead."

"Alright, I'll wait for you in my office."

After ending the call, Qin Chuan set off. Thirty or forty minutes later, he arrived in the county and went straight into Director Luo Bing's office.

"Come, take a look at these things first and see if you're satisfied."

Taking the file bag handed over by Director Luo Bing, Qin Chuan sat on the sofa and began to look through it carefully. There was quite a lot inside, including paper documents and a USB drive.

The content of the paper documents was very rich. The details of Township Head Chen Qunfeng's corruption over the years were basically all here, including two bank accounts, the opening bank, the account name, and the deposit amounts—everything was crystal clear.

After flipping through the documents, Qin Chuan was secretly shocked.

He had once guessed that Township Head Chen Qunfeng might be involved in corruption because the man was clearly both greedy and stupid, but he hadn't expected the corruption to be this severe.

The amount in the two accounts alone exceeded ten million. Furthermore, he had properties and storefronts in Dongzhou City and the provincial capital, totaling over a dozen locations.

His personal life was also a major issue; he had been maintaining improper relationships with multiple women for a long time. Director Luo Bing had investigated this clearly and even had a large number of photos.

Then, Qin Chuan inserted the USB drive into the computer. Inside, not only were there electronic versions of the paper documents he had just seen, but there were also many photos, videos, and more.

After finishing, Qin Chuan was completely relieved.

This Township Head Chen Qunfeng was completely finished. He was destined to end up in prison sewing machines; no one could save him.

"Director Luo, the surprise you've given me is truly too big. With these things, Township Head Chen Qunfeng is completely finished."

Director Luo Bing smiled and then said modestly, "Just basic operations. When our Public Security Bureau wants to investigate someone, we are quite confident."

At this moment, Qin Chuan did not know that Secretary Zeng Xiguang was reporting to County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang.

"Secretary Cao, after our in-depth investigation, we did not find any financial dealings between Comrade Qin Chuan and Hongtai Supermarket. As for the matter of Qin Chuan taking a two-mao kickback per jin of yellow peaches, it is completely baseless..."

He reported the situation in quite some detail. There was a hint of embarrassment on his face.

This was a bit of a slap in the face.

Before, he had been basically certain that Qin Chuan must have had financial dealings with Hongtai Supermarket, and that the kickback matter was likely true—after all, there's no smoke without fire.

Who would have known that after a detailed investigation, the result was far beyond his expectations: Qin Chuan was actually completely innocent.

After listening to the report, County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang was completely relieved.

He had originally been a little bit worried and had even thought about the worst-case scenario: what if Qin Chuan had really taken kickbacks and really had financial dealings with Hongtai Supermarket? What then?

He had even thought of various ways to handle the aftermath, thinking about how to help clean up the mess for Qin Chuan.

Now it seemed he had been overthinking.

Suddenly, he seemed to relax entirely. He instructed, "In that case, it really is someone maliciously slandering and intentionally spreading rumors behind the scenes. You must continue to investigate in depth and find this person."

Secretary Zeng Xiguang said, "We suspect that this person must be a leader from Dahe Township; otherwise, they wouldn't know things so clearly."

"No matter who it is, you must find them for me, and they must be severely punished!" County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang instructed.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Since Comrade Qin Chuan is innocent, the County Commission for Discipline Inspection must issue a public investigation report to clear Comrade Qin Chuan's name."

Secretary Zeng Xiguang quickly said, "Alright, we will certainly follow your instructions and issue the public investigation report immediately."

After the two chatted for a while, County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang felt it was necessary to call Qin Chuan over and have a face-to-face talk with him.

To comfort Qin Chuan and express some apologies.

Thus, County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang called Qin Chuan personally.

"Comrade Qin Chuan, is it convenient for you to come to my office now?"

Qin Chuan said, "Secretary Cao, I happen to be in the county. I'll come over right away."

A while later, Qin Chuan knocked on the door and entered. Seeing Secretary Zeng Xiguang there, he was slightly taken aback, but then he immediately thought of something, and in his heart, he gradually understood what was going on.

"Secretary Cao, Secretary Zeng, greetings to both leaders."

Secretary Zeng Xiguang nodded.

County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang said warmly, "Comrade Qin Chuan, please sit."

After inviting Qin Chuan to sit on the sofa, County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang said apologetically, "Regarding the report that you had financial dealings with Hongtai Supermarket and accepted kickbacks, the County Commission for Discipline Inspection has thoroughly investigated the matter. It was completely a setup; you are innocent."

Representing the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, Secretary Zeng Xiguang also offered some comfort and then said, "Comrade Qin Chuan, following Secretary Cao's instructions, we will definitely ferret out the person who spread rumors and framed you behind the scenes."

Qin Chuan said, "Secretary Zeng, there is no need to waste time and effort investigating. I know who this person is."

"Oh!"

County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang and Secretary Zeng Xiguang both looked at Qin Chuan with surprised expressions.
