Chapter 1390: Chapter 1389: Getting Down to Business

Tian Gaoluo picked up from Feng Jia and said, "I think Xinxi’s opinion is feasible. Jiang Cheng’s actions, I believe, are already nailed down."

Feng Jia’s face showed some displeasure, "I reserve my opinion." Chen Bai knocked on the table and, seeing everyone looking at him, said, "Things definitely need to be investigated thoroughly, but the manner must also be appropriate. We absolutely must not wrongly accuse anyone. However, if there is indeed misconduct, it must be severely punished. Chen Wenguang will personally lead the investigation team. It’s necessary to send someone influential to investigate. Alright, that’s it, let’s adjourn. I will report now, meeting adjourned.

Soon, Jiang Cheng received a notification from the investigation team, requiring him to appear at the bureau at 10 AM the next day for an investigation.

Very soon, it was 10 AM on that day. The investigation team and Jiang Cheng both appeared on time at the village bureau. In Jiang Cheng’s office, Jiang Cheng sat calmly at his desk, looking at Chen Wenguang and the others in front of him, while Chen Wenguang and the others were very embarrassed. Why? There was nowhere to sit!

For some reason, in Jiang Cheng’s office, besides the chair under Jiang Cheng, there was only the floor to sit on. Surely, they couldn’t have the investigation team sit on the floor to question him, right? A clever investigation team member had gone out a few minutes ago to find a chair, but after searching most nearby places, they surprisingly couldn’t find a single chair! It was awkward to ask the Well Bureau people. You’re here to investigate their boss and then ask where there’s a chair—how embarrassing.

Chen Wenguang’s face looked very displeased as he looked at Jiang Cheng sitting there. His expression was very displeased—how dare you make me so embarrassed; I’ll make your life miserable.

"Comrade Jiang Cheng, let’s start our investigation today." Chen Wenguang said sternly.

"Alright, ask away, I will definitely tell you everything I know." Jiang Cheng said with a faint smile.

I ask you, didn’t you defeat three ordinary elders at the entrance of the Well Bureau?

They weren’t ordinary elders!

Then did you use your position to detain an unregistered person inside?

Interesting, you’re here today just to mess with me, Chen? Jiang Cheng’s face showed a cold smile. Chen Wenguang’s obviously biased questioning made Jiang Cheng a bit annoyed. Do they really look down on him, Jiang Cheng, thinking he’s an idiot?

Jiang Cheng, please pay attention to your attitude and cooperate with our investigation work." Chen Wenguang, having his malicious intentions exposed, couldn’t help but feel angry.

Don’t tell me this nonsense, hanging on the tiger’s skin to intimidate people. Let me tell you, Tian Gaoluo is using you as a tool. You’re just gullible enough to come. Think about it, why didn’t he come himself to investigate me? Do you think he doesn’t hate me? Jiang Cheng looked at Chen Wenguang with an expression of watching a fool.

After hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, Chen Wenguang actually felt that Jiang Cheng made a bit of sense. Tian Gaoluo hated Jiang Cheng with such intensity that it didn’t make sense for him not to come himself to lead the investigation team. Could it be that he’s afraid of confronting Jiang Cheng directly? But that doesn’t make sense either; it’s a life-and-death struggle between the two.

But Chen Wenguang wasn’t easily fooled by Jiang Cheng, "Don’t change the topic. Explain your own issues well, and strive for leniency."

Haha, it’s really funny! Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but laugh out loud. For some reason, looking at Chen Wenguang putting on an act made him very amused. Chen Wenguang realized that he wouldn’t get anything out of Jiang Cheng today and snorted heavily, turning around with his people to leave the office.

As for Jiang Cheng, he was now almost certain of Tian Gaoluo’s crimes, only lacking solid evidence. Jiang Cheng thought for a while and made a call to Zhang Mengmeng.

Mengmeng, it’s Jiang Cheng. I need your help." "Benefits," Zhang Mengmeng said succinctly.

This is a mission! You know I’m on a mission right now, as my team member, you can’t refuse me." Jiang Cheng said.

Fine, fine, go ahead, what do you need me to do?" Zhang Mengmeng pouted.

I’m investigating Village Chief Tian Gaoluo of Gui Village. I need to know everything about him; you understand, right?" Jiang Cheng said. Jiang Cheng had confidence in Zhang Mengmeng’s abilities in this regard.

Alright, give me a day.

After this call, Jiang Cheng showed a liberated smile. It seemed that the matter here was almost resolved!

In the Village Chief’s office, Chen Wenguang was reporting the investigation situation to Tian Gaoluo.

What? He didn’t confess anything?

Yes. We didn’t find out anything; I think it should be handed over to the authorities for resolution." Chen Wenguang said. Actually, for some reason, he didn’t want to get involved in this matter; he always had a bad feeling.

Hmph, it’s not that easy." Tian Gaoluo had a sullen face. While speaking, he made a phone call.

Li Shuji? I order you to immediately start a "double regulation" on Village Chief Jiang Cheng of the Well Bureau! Yes, right now!

Director Zhang, you can hold a press conference now; this matter must be reported immediately!

Jiang Cheng had just seen off the investigators when he was met by Zhai Jiwei. Leading the charge was Li Shuji.

"Boss Jiang, please come with us for some questioning!" Li Shuji said with a stern expression.

Sigh, you all have so many tricks, alright, alright, I’ll go with you for some questioning." Jiang Cheng cooperated fully because he knew in his heart that Tian Gaoluo wouldn’t last for long.

Zhai Jiwei, once Jiang Cheng was brought over, he was immediately placed in a room. No one came to question him, nor did anyone inform him of anything; they just left him there. Jiang Cheng knew they were just playing psychological games with him. Such childish tricks, he thought to himself. Yet, what he didn’t know was that his being taken away by Zhai Jiwei had spread through the bureau. Some were watching for fun, like Li Tian, while others, like Wang Li and Liu Jianxin, were worried about him. But none of them had any way to influence the situation; they could only silently observe the dynamics of the situation.

Director Zhang received a call from Village Chief Tian and soon started eagerly preparing the press conference. Before long, the conference began.

Just as the press conference concluded its opening remarks and was about to delve into criticizing Jiang Cheng’s actions, an unexpected event occurred.

Director Zhang’s phone rang. He checked it and saw it was Village Chief Chen Bai! Hurriedly, he paused the conference, went to a corner, and answered the call: "Hello, Village Chief Chen, yes, I’m holding a press conference, what? Suspend it?"

After hanging up the phone, Director Zhang had a bitter expression. The conference was halfway through, and he was told to suspend it and even prohibited reporting the issue. This job was really difficult, but difficult or not, he had to do it, otherwise he might not even have the opportunity to do it in the future.

As for Chen Bai, he hurriedly headed to the authorities, intending to report the situation. Just as the authorities were about to discuss Jiang Cheng’s issue, a message came from above.
