Rebirth of Corrupt Officials - Chapter 76

Xue Yan had a strong will to survive and might really be able to wake up.

Jiang Xiaochuan finally smiled after listening to Qiao Yusheng’s explanation, “It couldn’t be better.”

He hoped that good people would have peace in their lives.

Although it was a very vulgar sentence, at that moment, it had already placed all his wishes on it.

Qiao Yusheng reassured him that he would be taking care of the hospital and nothing would happen.

Under his watch, Jiang Xiaochuan and Yue Qingci left again.

“Xue Yan has a chance to wake up. When you heard the news, did you think it was good or bad?” Yue Qingci asked him.

Jiang Xiaochuan touched his wrist and said, “I can’t tell.”

Xue Yan must have known a lot of things. He knew more about that file than anyone else. Jiang Xiaochuan was said to have a photographic memory. After reading those files, he could remember them in his mind, but that was just a simple memory. If his words were used as evidence in court, they could not be accepted. His one-sided testimony was useless.

Moreover, he was already suspected of violating party discipline and state laws, and his confessions, let alone testimonies, would be subject to strict verification. But Xue Yan was different. He was a disciplinary inspection worker. Although he was accused of accepting bribes while he was missing and, in a coma, he was unable to confirm anythng. As long as Xue Yan woke up, he would definitely be able to defend himself and whitewash. Therefore, if Xue Yan woke up, he would definitely be able to bring subversive changes to this battle.

No one spoke anymore along the way.

The small villa that Yue Qingci mentioned belonged to the Yue family. It was located near Xiaxu Mountain in Xicheng. It was a place with a better environment in the entire city. When the municipal party committee and municipal compound were sited, they also thought about building it there. After all, the environment was good, with beautiful scenery, but it was too far from the central city. In a super city like Chengzhou, it took more than an hour to cross the city by bus. It was too unrealistic to build it in Xiaxiu Mountain, so they finally chose the current location.

The car drove up the mountain road and could already see the villa. The door was opened when the car came. The driver parked the car directly in front of the villa. Jiang Xiaochuan and Yue Qingci got out.

Pushing open the door and entering, they found the clean and tidy large living room downstairs. Yue Huasheng was sitting in it, studying a game of chess.

Jiang Xiaochuan was not surprised to see this powerful old man. He also recognized it at a glance. The chess game seemed to be the remnant chess left at his house.

Yue Huasheng and Jiang Encheng had played an unfinished game of chess.

“Qingci, you go and take a rest first. I’ll talk to my old friend’s son.”

Yue Huasheng said lightly without raising his eyes.

Yue Qingci looked at Jiang Xiaochuan, but Jiang Xiaochuan smiled at him and said, “It’s okay.”

It was just talk.

Yue Qingci was speechless and could only leave according to Yue Huasheng’s words, leaving Jiang Xiaochuan alone there.

“Sit down, I’m afraid you have suffered a lot over there.” Yue Huasheng spoke again.

Jiang Xiaochuan followed his words and sat across from Yue Huasheng.

Yue Huasheng was already old, with gray hair on his temples and age spots on his skin. There was a scar under the corner of his mouth. It was probably scratched by shrapnel during the war in his early years. This kind of injury was very common. Jiang Xiaochuan had seen quite a few of them on Jiang Encheng. At the moment, Yue Huasheng held a cannon in his hand and gently knocked on the chessboard, making a wooden “tuk-tuk” sound.

“I can’t guess what you, young people think, but I know a little about your thoughts.” Although Yue Huasheng was old, his mind had not grown old. On the contrary, the longer he lived, the smarter he became. He was not very old, more than seventy years old, but he was much older than Jiang Encheng. He looked at Jiang Xiaochuan, the corners of his eyes drooping slightly.

Jiang Xiaochuan was indifferent. Even if the person in front of him was a noble and powerful person, he could not think of any respect. When Jiang Encheng died, Yue Huasheng had told the past between the two. At that time, he had already become numb to this stuff.

“Old Man Yue knows what I’m thinking? Even I don’t know what I’m thinking.” His words were clearly a rebuttal and extremely provocative.

Now that Jiang Xiaochuan had no position and was no longer a member of the political circle, even Lian Cheng couldn’t say anything about his meeting with Yue Huasheng.

Yue Huasheng touched the chess pieces and sighed: “What you did before was out of your control. No wonder. It’s hard to be a good official, and it’s not easy to be a corrupt official. In fact, people have always confused the difference between a good official and a corrupt official. Corrupt officials are not completely opposites of good. Sometimes, they can be equated. You were too attached to rigid rules; why didn’t you change?”

“Those things were done by me. No matter what the reason was, I couldn’t argue with the authenticity of those things. I accepted other people’s money, used the power in my hands to help others, and even promised the Rong Group’s Rong Shaobai. I opened the door for him, and he guaranteed my political performance. Old Man Yue, in your opinion, can all this be covered up?” His last sentence was full of meaning, deep meaning.

In Yue Huasheng’s past, it was also because of this problem that Jiang Encheng fell into that state. At that time, it was said that Jiang Encheng was a deserter and he could have just opened his mouth, but why didn’t Yue Huasheng say it?

Was it because he didn’t have time and really forgot, or was it because there was only one place for commendation for outstanding warriors? If Jiang Encheng was really found, what would happen to Yue Huasheng’s performance?
