Rebirth of Corrupt Officials

Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly sat on his back and looked at the ceiling.

The light from the desk lamp shone through the outline of his gentle jaw, but the shadows hid all his expressions, exposing his Adam’s apple and neck. The hair hangs down, short and shallow, as if there were no fetters.

He laughed, then slowed down his voice and said slowly: “You are right. I believe that after reading the self-examination letter, even the deputy director has a certain understanding of me as a person. I am indeed not an upright person, so I envy the deputy director of the company who can say this confidently without any guilt.”

Jiang Xiaochuan’s confession obviously shocked Lian Cheng, and the self-examination paper with elegant handwriting was spread out on the table in front of him. He suddenly felt very complicated. He began to be vaguely curious about what kind of person Jiang Xiaochuan was.

“In the future, Mayor Jiang can also become an aboveboard person.”

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Xiaochuan smiled silently and said, “I hope so.”

“I will deal with the self-examination letter, but there may be further investigations. Many situations need to be verified. If it is serious, there may be a suspension investigation.” When he said this, Lian Cheng’s voice was very deep. After the change in the tone of the radio waves, it sounded like a sigh to Jiang Xiaochuan.

Jiang Xiaochuan’s heart sank following his tone, but he had already been prepared. The information mentioned in his self-examination letter was more than just the watch. Although he didn’t know what was going on behind the scenes, he had a vague feeling. Those things, was the time bombs Jiang Xiaochuan was most worried about.

Jiang Xiaochuan knew better than anyone what the suspension investigation meant. He looked at the desk lamp in front of him, turned it on, off, and on again, and said, “I will wait for your news.”

“Okay.”

Then he hung up.

.

When the self-examination letter left his hand, Jiang Xiaochuan felt it very clearly, but when Lian Cheng called him, he felt that his heart was lifted again.

Many things were never as satisfactory as one imagined.

He looked at the light of the desk lamp and felt it was dazzling. He finally turned it off but could no longer fall asleep. He stood up in the darkness, carefully pushed the chair away, then opened the door and walked out.

The slightly moist and cold air slowly slid across the corridor and left Jiang Xiaochuan’s skin.

It was already late at night, and the light in Jiang Encheng’s room was still on. The light gathered into a line and came out of the crack in the door.

Recently, Jiang Encheng seemed to be always doing something Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t know about.

This feeling was very bad, but Jiang Xiaochuan knew that he couldn’t ask.

Some things couldn’t be solved by just asking.

It was like Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t know who his mother was. Their family’s household registration had always been only for the father and son, and no one else.

He stood at Jiang Encheng’s door for a long time, and finally passed by his door without doing anything, quietly opened the front door, closed it, and walked out.

Passing by the street lamp with a faint blue-white light that he had just seen in front of his window, he glanced at the red slogan written on it, and then Jiang Xiaochuan left the compound and walked along the empty avenue.

He walked and looked at the sky, his mind surging, but the expression on his face remained calm.

The complex political field taught him to disguise himself, to put on those strange masks, and once he put them on, it was difficult to take them off – once he took them off, what awaited him was a bloody ending.

Only in such a dark and silent night could he relax from the bottom of his heart.

The avenue was clean, and the tall greenway trees stretched their branches in the night. It would be summer soon.

At this time, any sound was very conspicuous, and Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly stopped.

There was a very low sound of a car engine ahead.

The black car passed by him. Jiang Xiaochuan could not see clearly the people in the car, but the people in the car could see him clearly.

The car had obviously driven past, but it came back and stopped next to Jiang Xiaochuan.

The car window slowly lowered, Lian Cheng held the mobile phone in his hand and put it to his ear, but his eyes were looking at Jiang Xiaochuan. “Why is Mayor Jiang still out so late?”

We were talking on the phone before, but now we met directly. It was really…

Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t know how he felt. Would it be a problem if he said he was in a bad mood and went out for a walk?

He shook his head and smiled, and only gave a vague answer: “I thought the deputy director would know.”

Lian Cheng lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then slightly raised his lips and smiled. His mobile phone screen lit up, and Jiang Xiaochuan caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a secret agent line phone.

Lian Cheng turned his face and said to the phone: “The situation is okay; I’ll go and take a look right away.”

There was a faint voice over there, and then Lian Cheng hung up the phone. “Sorry, I just called.”

“It’s okay.” Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t mind at all.

Lian Cheng was really apologetic: “I’m busy now. Please forgive me for being rude. I can’t get out of the car to talk to you. But I have a piece of advice for Mayor Jiang. Chengzhou is not peaceful recently, so it’s best not to go out at night.”

The content of this advice was really—somewhat interesting.

Jiang Xiaochuan knew that the underworld had been fighting fiercely recently, and wondered whether Rong Shaobai understood what he said, or whether he was involved in the fight between Qingtuan and Hong family like in his previous life.

He accepted Lian Cheng’s kindness and said, “I was negligent, please go ahead and get busy. Let’s talk another day.”

“See you in another day.” Lian Cheng sat in the car thinking about him and nodded in greeting, then asked the driver to drive away.

Jiang Xiaochuan turned around and took two steps forward, but suddenly found that his mood was different from before.

There was no peace in Chengzhou. Why was there no peace?

Lian Cheng actually told him not to come out at night.

He suddenly remembered the hidden wound on Yue Qingci’s back that no one could know about. In any case, it must not be simple to involve Yue Qingci, and there was also Lian Cheng…

He put his hands in his trouser pockets. He stared at the asphalt road, wandered for a few steps, then stood still, and didn’t look at where he was for a long time, and finally walked back.

When he returned home, he found that the lights in Jiang Encheng’s room had been turned off. He took another look and finally went back to his room to sleep.
