Rebirth of Corrupt Officials

When Xue Yan came back, Jiang Xiaochuan had already received the scanned copy from Wei Lai. After reading the on-site record he received from him, he couldn’t help but sneer.

On Chenghua Avenue, which was the road closest to the city hall, when crossing a crosswalk, a black car suddenly rushed out and hit a white Hyundai along the way. Then the Hyundai lost control and rushed towards the crosswalk, accidentally bumping into Uncle Qiu, who was crossing the road.

What happened was so simple that it felt too brief to tell, but Jiang Xiaochuan felt a different kind of panic here.

Neither the driver of the black car nor the driver of the Hyundai had a hit-and-run accident; they were just passing the blame between each other.

It was difficult to determine whose fault it was for this kind of serial collision.

Judging from the initial confession, the black car seemed to have temporarily lost control of the brakes and hit the Hyundai. Then the driver of the Hyundai seemed to have mistakenly stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake, resulting in the tragedy.

But this was too bizarre.

One car went out of control, another car went out of control, and in the end, it was the innocent Uncle Qiu whose life was in danger. This did indeed seem to be an accident, but Jiang Xiaochuan had enough reasons to believe that it was not an accident.

His intuition told him that the sentence in the last line of the forensic report might be the truth – some of the exhibits involved in the case had not been collected and were not found at the scene.

Witnesses said they saw Uncle Qiu holding something while crossing the road, but no relevant items were found at the scene of the accident.

Uncle Qiu’s sudden accident was probably related to these things.

After the accident, these things could not be found immediately. It was really…

Jiang Xiaochuan sat on the bench, looked up at the ultraviolet lamp on the ceiling, squinted his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that he had regained his composure.

Xue Yan had returned.

Xue Yan came in such a hurry that even the sleeves and corners of his shirt were in a mess.

He looked at Jiang Xiaochuan, who recounted the incident in a very flat and emotionless voice.

Xue Yan stood directly in front of him, in the middle of the corridor, with a look of loneliness and hostility. He listened in silence, with still no expression on his face.

After Jiang Xiaochuan finished speaking, he was silent for a long time, waiting for Xue Yan to speak.

He knew that Xue Yan must have something to say, but he couldn’t help but think about it. The first words out of Xue Yan’s mouth were: “You’d better stop investigating this case. I’ll do it myself.”

Jiang Xiaochuan was stunned. Before he could ask anything, he heard Xue Yan continue: “You are one of the few clean people in the entire municipal government. No, maybe you are the only one.”

Jiang Xiaochuan had his bag at hand, and he thought of the self-examination letter inside. Looking at the current situation, he probably couldn’t hand it over again.

In fact, according to normal procedures, he couldn’t directly hand over the self-examination letter to a specific person, but Jiang Xiaochuan really couldn’t trust the current Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The problems in Chengzhou City were too obvious, but the report from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was still normal. If it were said that there was no problem with the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Jiang Xiaochuan would never believe it.

Just imagine, if most of the officials were already dyed black, Jiang Xiaochuan, a person who wanted to work hard to clear himself, would become an outlier among the majority. What would be the end of the outliers? It was not just as simple as being ostracized; the officialdom was too cruel.

It was for this reason that Xue Yan told him not to investigate.

It was a pity that Jiang Xiaochuan had already decided a lot of things when he came back from rebirth.

He had much more experience than Xue Yan, but he often admired Xue Yan’s flowing blood and sincerity. He admired this young man’s frankness and integrity.

In his previous life, Jiang Xiaochuan had two words for fighting in the political arena: smoothness.

But now, seeing Xue Yan, he felt very envious.

He said, “I am not clean, but now I hope to make myself clean again.”

Although the time was not very suitable, he still took out the self-examination letter that had been sealed, stood up, and the expression on his face became deep and serious, his eyes lingered on the envelope for a long time, and finally he stretched out his hand and handed the letter to Xue Yan.

No one here could know the conversation between him and Xue Yan, and he didn’t have to worry about others seeing it.

Xue Yan was a little unable to react. He reached out to take the envelope, but there was doubt in his eyes: “This is…”

“Self-examination.” Jiang Xiaochuan took back his empty palm. He felt that his whole body was relaxed, but there was something in his hand. No, he felt light and airy again, always feeling like something had left and would never come back.

But his heart was very light. The moment the rough envelope rubbed against his fingertips and left his hand slowly, his heart flew up and slowly rose into the clouds. It felt like a real envelope’s flew up.

He stood there and said the word ‘self-examination’ so softly that Xue Yan almost didn’t hear it clearly, but looking at Jiang Xiaochuan’s mouth shape, he understood it again.

Self-examination, this was a self-examination letter.

Xue Yan held the envelope for a long time and took a deep look at Jiang Xiaochuan.

He carefully put the letter into the inner pocket of his coat, keeping it very secret. He thought Jiang Xiaochuan knew too little, but now Jiang Xiaochuan showed a lot.

In today’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, it was very dangerous to report others, but self-examination was even more dangerous.

The group of corrupt officials was very exclusive. If they knew that a person had handed in a self-examination letter, then these people would definitely exclude Jiang Xiaochuan. And if Jiang Xiaochuan knew any important secrets, he would definitely face certain investigations after self-examination.

If Jiang Xiaochuan told something important that he knew, then – his situation would be very dangerous.

When it came to issues that were 100% profitable, people would go crazy.

Capitalists analyzed when profits reach 300%, capitalists were willing to take all risks to pursue sufficient wealth. Such data fully demonstrated the greedy nature of human beings. Greed itself was a sin, and there were countless sins derived from greed.

Corrupt officials were always crazy.

Jiang Xiaochuan knew that what happened to Zhang Qing was an example. Even the people from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection dared to touch him. What else could these social worms not do?

“I hope you can give this letter to some very important people.”

The important thing was that it must be trustworthy.

Jiang Xiaochuan believed that Xue Yan must know what he meant with his keenness.
