At the Pinnacle of Power: My Insider Report Alarms Bigwigs in Beijing's Elite Circle

after one day.

Office of the Secretary of the Qinghe County Party Committee.

Zhang Tieshan and Liang Chao reported their work to Wei Dongqing, the county party secretary.

"Secretary Wei, after receiving the report on Lin Yi's personal and family assets, the county discipline inspection commission sent someone to Beijing to find those lottery shops. The shop owners all said that Lin Yi did indeed buy high-odds football lottery tickets at their shops and won a big prize. They all found it unbelievable and were very impressed with Lin Yi!"

Zhang Tieshan was the first to report, his tone filled with disbelief.

Because he had carefully examined the football betting odds Lin Yi had placed, and he had correctly predicted the scores of all three matches, all of which were upsets – it was outrageous!

Wei Dongqing, however, remained calm.

Just as Lin Yi had predicted, Wei Dongqing had already conducted this investigation.

Although Wei Dongqing thought Lin Yi's football lottery win was a supernatural event, that wasn't his main concern.

In Xiao Yuan's words, Wei Dongqing raised this issue at the democratic life meeting mainly to lay the groundwork for investigating Lin Yi's lifestyle.

"Minister Liang, what's the situation with Shen Chuchu, the deputy director of the county public security bureau?"

Wei Dongqing turned his gaze to Liang Chao.

Liang Chao reported truthfully: "Secretary Wei, Shen Chuchu said that she and Lin Yi are not in a romantic relationship and have never had a relationship. If the organization does not trust her, she can go for a medical examination and provide proof."

"Oh? What does that female reporter named Xu Shimeng want with Shen Chuchu?"

Wei Dongqing raised an eyebrow, then asked again.

"Shen Chuchu said that the female reporter named Xu Shimeng came to Qinghe specifically to apologize to her." Liang Chao's tone was somewhat complicated, as if he didn't know how to continue.

Wei Dongqing looked on incredulously: "Xu Shimeng apologized to Shen Chuchu? Are you sure you're not mistaken?!"

“Secretary Wei, this is what Shen Chuchu said to the staff of the County Party Committee’s Organization Department. In addition, Shen Chuchu specifically mentioned a sentence that Xu Shimeng said—no matter who it is, it is wishful thinking to try to use Shen Chuchu to deal with Lin Yi; it is absolutely impossible to make Shen Chuchu suffer in the power struggle and become a sacrifice!”

Liang Chao relayed Xu Shimeng's words in a strange tone, wondering who this female reporter named Xu Shimeng, Lin Yi's girlfriend, was. She was incredibly arrogant!

Zhang Tieshan was also very curious.

Both of them couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Wei Dongqing.

Wei Dongqing's face darkened again.

Because things developed in a way that completely exceeded his expectations, and could even be said to be the exact opposite of what he had imagined!

Originally, based on information from all sides, he firmly believed that Lin Yi had been having an improper relationship with Shen Chuchu behind Xu Shimeng's back. This matter would definitely cause Xu Shimeng to break up with Lin Yi, and Lin Yi would also lose the support of the Xu family!

As a result, Xu Shimeng did not break up with Lin Yi because of this incident. Instead, she made a special trip to Qinghe County to comfort Shen Chuchu.

Was Xu Shimeng drugged by Lin Yi?

cheat!

Shen Chuchu cooperated with Lin Yi to deceive Xu Shimeng!

Wei Dongqing felt that Shen Chuchu deliberately proposed to use medical evidence to prove her innocence in order to dispel everyone's doubts and help Lin Yi deceive Xu Shimeng.

This phenomenon is common in officialdom. Some women, for the sake of their career advancement and personal interests, not only willingly become mistresses but also obey the orders of officials.

The thought flashed through Wei Dongqing's mind, and he continued, "Minister Liang, then let Shen Chuchu go to the hospital for a checkup and provide medical certificates to prove her innocence with Lin Yi!"

"Secretary Wei, is this appropriate?"

Liang Chao hesitated for a moment.

Shen Chuchu was, after all, the deputy director of the county public security bureau, and there was no conclusive evidence that she and Lin Yi had an improper relationship.

Under these circumstances, requiring Shen Chuchu to undergo a medical examination and provide medical certificates is, strictly speaking, not in accordance with regulations and is extremely insulting to Shen Chuchu!

"What's inappropriate about it? She voluntarily requested a medical examination to prove her innocence, and the organization granted her request. This is for the sake of our comrade!"

Wei Dongqing sneered.

"Okay, Secretary Wei."

Liang Chao realized that Wei Dongqing was determined to do this, so he didn't dare to offer any further opinions. He only reminded him, "However, the county hospital can't do this test. You have to go to the city hospital. Today is Friday, and the relevant departments at the city hospital are closed on Saturday and Sunday. You'll have to wait until Monday."

“Minister Liang, I believe that Shen Chuchu’s medical examination report cannot prove her innocence with Lin Yi. What do you think?” Wei Dongqing looked at Liang Chao meaningfully.

"Secretary Wei, I think so too!"

Liang Chao nodded quickly, understanding in his heart:

Wei Dongqing was reminding him that Shen Chuchu's medical examination report could only have one result—she was not a virgin, and it could not prove that there was no abnormal relationship between her and Lin Yi!

There's no turning back once the arrow is released; for Wei Dongqing, this is a game he can't afford to lose!

On the other side, Lin Yi soon received a call from Shen Chuchu.

“Lin Yi, a staff member from the county party committee’s organization department just called me and asked me to go to the city hospital for a medical examination on Monday,” Shen Chuchu said first.

Lin Yi had instructed her that no matter what the county party committee's organization department asked her or what they wanted her to do, she should tell Lin Yi in a timely manner.

"These bastards!"

Hearing Shen Chuchu's words, Lin Yi felt a surge of anger and said, "Chuchu, you don't need to go to the hospital for a checkup. Their good days are coming to an end!"

"it is good."

Shen Chuchu obediently responded to Lin Yi, but in her heart she was curious: What was Lin Yi going to do?

Lin Yi didn't say anything more, hung up the phone, and then dialed the number of Lu Ming, the secretary of the county's political and legal committee and director of the public security bureau.

“Brother, I was just about to call you. My men have apprehended Liu Guozhu, Zhang Tieshan’s distant cousin, and are interrogating him. They’ll soon have a complete chain of evidence against Zhang Tieshan for violating discipline and the law. Also, I personally went to see Liu Miaomiao’s husband and secretly helped him get a paternity test done. He agreed to file a formal complaint against Liang Chao! As for Wei Dongqing, I investigated him. Every weekend he travels to the neighboring Donghua Island City, but he doesn’t use the Audi A6 that the county committee drives; he uses a Toyota Prado. I called my mentor and asked him to have someone investigate where that car goes after entering Donghua Island City.”

Lu Ming acted swiftly and efficiently, completing the first two tasks assigned by Lin Yi in a single day. He also asked Hou Tianming to investigate Wei Dongqing's whereabouts in Donghua Island City every weekend.

"Brother Lu, you've worked hard, thank you."

Lin Yi expressed his gratitude.

after an hour.

Lin Yi received a call from Hou Tianming:

“Lin Yi, I asked my brothers in Dongdao City for help and they found out for you. Wei Dongqing goes to the Linhai Manor in Dongdao City every Saturday. The Linhai Manor is a high-end private club with various services, and many wealthy people and officials go there to spend money. Wei Dongqing goes to the Linhai Manor to have fun.”

"Thank you, Brother Hou!"

Lin Yi was overjoyed.

Wei Dongqing didn't believe that Lin Yi and Shen Chuchu were innocent, and Lin Yi didn't believe that Wei Dongqing was clean either. Hou Tianming's words confirmed Lin Yi's judgment!

Hou Tianming reminded him, "Brother, as the saying goes, you need to catch a thief red-handed, and an adulterer in bed. If you want to use Wei Dongqing's case to your advantage, you need to get evidence. However, I heard from the brothers on Donghua Island that this seaside club has a very strong backer. It is said that the boss behind it is Zhao Tianming."

Zhao Tianming?

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that the seaside clubhouse would be related to Zhao Tianming.

In the previous life, the Zhao family fell from power, Zhao Tianming was investigated, and a case announcement was released. However, the announcement only stated that Zhao Tianming used his father's influence to get involved in multiple industries and made a profit of up to hundreds of millions of dollars.

And this is only the publicly released data; in reality, even multiplying it by 10 might not be enough to stop the spread!

Because Zhao Tianming's case involved too much money and too many industries, the announcement only mentioned a few high-value cases, and small businesses like Linhai Manor were not even worth mentioning.

Besides, the real purpose of a place like the Seaside Manor isn't to make money!

“Lin Yi, since Linhai Manor is related to Zhao Tianming, we can’t ask the brothers on Donghua Island for help, and it’s not appropriate for Lu Ming to go there either. Tomorrow, I will personally lead a group there.”

Just as Lin Yi was surprised, Hou Tianming spoke up.

"No, Brother Hou, this will implicate you!"

Lin Yi quickly stopped him.

Since Zhao Tianming is the mastermind behind the Linhai Manor, Hou Tianming's decision to lead a large group of police officers to investigate the manor across cities is, strictly speaking, a violation of regulations.

Zhao Tianming could use this as an excuse to leverage his connections with those above him to retaliate against Hou Tianming!

"What did you say, kid?"

Hou Tianming first laughed and cursed, then his smile faded, and he said, word by word:

"Lin Yi, after my wife and children passed away, my life lost its meaning. My only goal in this life was to avenge them and bring the Gao brothers to justice. It was you, brother, who helped me achieve all of this."

From a moral standpoint, if Wei Dongqing wants to get rid of you, I can't just stand by and do nothing!

From a broader perspective, the changes you brought to Qinghe while you were in office are clearly visible—you are a blessing to the people of Qinghe!

"If Wei Dongqing targets you, he's going against the 800,000 people of Qinghe County. I, Hou Tianming, am the first to disagree!"
