Rebirth of Corrupt Officials - Chapter 77

The current Central Commission for Discipline Inspection really couldn’t do anything for Jiang Xiaochuan, and he knew it very well, so he could only take matters into his own hands.

“The law can’t fully account for human relationships. There are many things that strict laws can’t judge, many things they can’t penalize.” Like Jiang Encheng’s death — Jiang Xiaochuan had pondered it for a long time, but he knew there was no evidence. Lian Cheng couldn’t find any evidence either.

“Actually, Zhang Qing may not be the complete villain you think he is. Zhang Qing has his principles. He just made a mistake.”

In Jiang Xiaochuan’s view, Zhang Qing hadn’t violated discipline in many respects, but he had certain issues when dealing with Chengzhou.

Rong Shaobai once mentioned that Zhang Qing had some connection with the former head of the Rong family. Zhang Qing’s wife and child had an incident while vacationing in Chengzhou. According to the information, this incident led Zhang Qing to have dealings with the Rong family. At that time, the Rong family was still a full-fledged gangster and had been involved in several killings. Later, leveraging Zhang Qing’s connections in Beijing, they established ties with certain factions in the Yue family, quickly rising to become the top figures in Chengzhou’s underworld.

So, if they were to discuss it, Zhang Qing’s biggest supporter behind the scenes should be Zhang Qing himself.

Qiao Yusheng didn’t know that Jiang Xiaochuan had already pieced together much of this information while they spoke. He was merely intrigued by Jiang Xiaochuan’s statement: “Why do I sense that you have a favorable opinion of Zhang Qing?”

From Jiang Xiaochuan’s perspective, he already began to understand Zhang Qing at that time.

However, what Zhang Qing had done crossed boundaries, just as what Jiang Xiaochuan intended to do would also cross boundaries. Yet, Zhang Qing, who once was an upright disciplinary inspector, chose to collaborate with the underworld to avenge his family. As for Jiang Xiaochuan, a so-called “corrupt official” who was never been a clean person, he had committed numerous questionable deeds. But none of that mattered now.

Now, he was alone.

Since his rebirth, he had found the days more exhausting than in his previous life.

“Speaking of which, many things are not as simple as they seem. The arms trade is highly intricate. Even goods from neighboring provinces flow through our hands. People who initially seem irrelevant often turn out to be key players.”

Qiao Yusheng glanced at his watch, set down his scalpel, and rose to his feet. “It’s time for me to visit Xue Yan.”

Because he couldn’t rely on the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Qiao Yusheng had chosen to confide in Xue Yan.

When it came to the arms deal, the Rong family relied heavily on Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing now held significant power. Exposing this affair wouldn’t benefit anyone. If Xue Yan knew something, Qiao Yusheng knew he had to silence him to keep things clean.

Xue Yan was targeted by members of the Qingtuan because of this dossier. However, Rong Shaobai was unaware of the situation at the time and rescued Xue Yan, entrusting him to Qiao Yusheng. Both he and Xue Yan were geniuses. Qiao Yusheng had spent too much time at the Rong family and couldn’t stand the darkness there. In contrast, he found Xue Yan much more agreeable. They had genuinely dated back then, and Xue Yan had trusted him. But Qiao Yusheng received an order from Rong Shaobai to eliminate Xue Yan.

Xue Yan’s current appearance was actually his fault.

How could they make up for those deep feelings of guilt?

.

He walked out of the office, went down the corridor, and turned a few corners. The night watchman was still in the duty room late at night. Xue Yan’s condition was stable now. But someone would come up for inspection every once in a while. Unless there were special circumstances, no one would come here, so it was very quiet.

He approached slowly, moving lightly, and reached the door of the ward. At that moment, his pupils had shrunk sharply, and he saw a man playing with a gun.

There was only one bullet between his slender fingers, and he gently put it into the magazine. The man lowered his eyes and turned to the door. The pistol was installed with a silencer, which could probably let him do things quietly.

But as soon as he raised his hand, his eyes already wandered to the person who had appeared by the door.

Qiao Yusheng also had a beautiful pistol in his hand.

On a quiet night, a muffler seemed very appropriate.

“Using military-specific bullets and pistols. Is this because you are afraid that others will not know it is you?

Yue Qingci.

He frowned slightly and raised his hand halfway, but now he did not dare to move it. It only took him a moment to understand: “You set me up.”

“Yes. When you heard the news that Xue Yan was about to wake up, you probably couldn’t bear it anymore, right?” He had already told Jiang Xiaochuan that there would be a good show tonight.

Yue Qingci’s eyes was calm. He did not look at the gun pointed at him by Qiao Yusheng, but looked at Xue Yan, who was lying on the hospital bed and completely unaware of what was happening.

“So, you were lying when you said he would wake up? What’s the use of that?”

Indeed, Qiao Yusheng had deceived Yue Qingci and said that Xue Yan was about to wake up. What was the use?

Qiao Yusheng seemed calm, but his eyes were locked on Yue Qingci’s fingers.

“If you want to kill Xue Yan, then I can be sure that it is you who killed Rong Shaobai.”
