Zou Yibin's expression was worse than death.

He wished he could give himself a hard slap right now.

If only he hadn't bragged a moment ago, he wouldn't be this embarrassed now, would he?

Seeing him remain motionless.

Chen Fang snorted coldly, "Mayor Zou, you are a man of seven feet, are your words just as worthless as passing wind?"

"Comrade Chen Fang! I ask you to show some respect, this is the city government's meeting room, not your home. Even if you've been promoted, it doesn't give you the right to humiliate your colleagues here."

Liu Yi couldn't stand it anymore.

He sternly rebuked Chen Fang.

After all, he is the Mayor.

And a department-level official.

Chen Fang's authoritative demeanor meant nothing in front of him.

"Alright then, since Mayor Liu wants to stick up for Mayor Zou, I'll deal with you first. It doesn't matter who comes first or last."

After saying that.

Chen Fang waved his hand.

Outside the door, four or five Disciplinary Committee Cadres rushed in.

And immediately apprehended Liu Yi.

Faced with this sudden turn of events.

Liu Yi's anger surged.

As he struggled, he shouted, "Chen Fang, what are you doing? Let me go!"

Chen Fang leaned close to Liu Yi's ear and whispered, "Mayor Liu, I forgot to tell you, four hours ago, Fang Yixiu was arrested in Longxing City, personally captured by me."

Buzz!

Liu Yi's actions suddenly halted.

His breathing became rapid.

He gasped, just about to question, when Chen Fang smiled and said, "Don't believe me? Why don't you ask your secretary to turn on the TV."

Liu Yi's secretary was also flustered at this point.

He glanced at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi returned his look.

His secretary then walked shakily to the television in the meeting room and turned it on.

The scene that appeared before their eyes.

Not only stunned Liu Yi but also left everyone present in shock.

On the screen, it was the exact scene of Fang Yixiu being led out of the Shengrong Group building by Chen Fang.

This scene.

Made Liu Yi completely give up resisting.

As if he were a puddle of mud, he lost all strength.

If not for the quick reflexes of the Disciplinary Committee Cadres supporting him, he would have slumped to the ground.

"Take him away."

Chen Fang murmured softly.

Liu Yi, like a living dead, was carried out by others.

The meeting room was deathly silent.

The people who had previously shown some disdain for Chen Fang now didn't even have the courage to lift their heads.

"Now it's your turn."

With a look, Chen Fang directed his gaze at Zou Yibin.

Zou Yibin shivered all over.

At that moment, his back was almost soaked.

Only he knew whether he was clean or not.

Thinking of the downfall of both Fang Yixiu and Liu Yi.

His mind spun.

He assumed that Chen Fang would come for him next.

He immediately quivered.

And was about to bow deeply to Chen Fang.

But was stopped by Chen Fang with a hand gesture.

In bewilderment, Zou Yibin.

Chen Fang said, "Mayor Zou, you're quite lucky, we're not investigating you today. However, never look down on those you consider insignificant. They might unexpectedly become your superiors one day. I hope you remember this sentence for the rest of your life."

As if a heavy burden was lifted from his shoulders.

Zou Yibin let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

He nodded repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Secretary Chen, I remember, I remember..."

By the time Chen Fang and his entourage had walked far away.

Zou Yibin finally slumped into a seat.

His clothes were nearly drenched in sweat...

The arrests of Fang Yixiu and Liu Yi.

Caused a massive uproar in Jiuhai Province.

Especially after the investigation into Shengrong Group revealed a huge deficit.

Causing the stock prices of financial enterprises to plummet in a short period.

There was a general sense of panic.

Three days later.

The Supreme Disciplinary Committee, in conjunction with the Banking Supervision and Insurance Supervision authorities, established a national inspection team for state-owned financial enterprises, launching a thorough nationwide inspection of financial enterprises.

The investigation indeed uncovered numerous issues.

Uprooting carrots brings out the mud.

A nationwide crackdown on financial corruption thus commenced.

By the tenth day of the case.

Fang Yixiu's corrupt empire finally started to show a glimpse of its enormity.

During his twenty-year rule over Shengrong Group.

Fang Yixiu amassed over seventy billion RMB through nepotism, asset transfers, embezzlement, bribery, and illicit interference in personnel arrangements.

He also caused the loss of over six hundred billion RMB in state assets.

Seizing more than 100 properties, over 60 storefronts, and more than 40 luxury vehicles, his son Fang Yu and daughter Fang Qingzhi had long since emigrated abroad, living a life of extreme luxury.

Due to the lack of an extradition treaty between the two countries.

Recovering this money is likely impossible.

It wasn't until twelve days after Fang Yixiu's arrest.

That the truth behind Gu Jin's murder surfaced.

Twenty years ago.

When Fang Yixiu was the Deputy Manager of Commerce Bank in Shangqing City.

He embezzled large amounts of depositor funds, prompting some depositors to report it to the police.

Fang Yixiu was unfazed by this.

He used his connections in the political and legal circles to suppress these incidents forcefully.

After smoothing over the police and prosecutor's departments, unexpectedly, the problem arose with Gu Jin.

Many citizens who suffered losses but couldn't achieve justice turned to Gu Jin.

Gu Jin was straightforward.

Unfazed by pressure from superiors.

He decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.

As the pressure mounted.

Fang Yixiu finally couldn't withstand it.

He bribed two brothers who had previously been dealt with by Gu Jin, giving them a large sum of money to get rid of Gu Jin.

As expected.

The two brothers proved reliable in their task.

Gu Jin's entire family was wiped out.

Except he hadn't anticipated that Gu Jin had a good friend named Shangguan Shoudong, who would eventually rise step by step to the highest position.

If it weren't for him, if it weren't for Chen Fang, this buried injustice of twenty years might never have seen the light of day.

The entire Fang Yixiu case.

From investigation to prosecution, through the first, second, and final trials, it took over a year.

Ultimately, the principal offender Fang Yixiu was sentenced to death.

This person who dominated the business world for a lifetime, disappeared into the long river of history.

In Chen Fang's view.

His story with Fang Yixiu was over.

Yet he never expected.

That many things to happen later were still related to Fang Yixiu.

...

The "Shengrong Case" special task force, located at the Coastal Hotel in Longxing City.

Since the establishment of the task force.

The entire building of the Coastal Hotel was rented.

Now, with the investigation by the Disciplinary Committee nearing its end, it was time for the Provincial Procuratorate to take over.

In the past few days, cadres seconded from various Disciplinary Committees across the regions have been gradually heading back.

The security personnel from the police and armed police forces have also been withdrawing.

Only a few staff remained to handle concluding matters.

Just moments ago.

Chen Fang received a call from the Supreme Organization Department.

It was decided after research.

To relieve Chen Fang of his position as Deputy Secretary of the Jiuhe Province Discipline Inspection Committee and Deputy Director of the Supervisory Committee.

And transfer him to Yong'an Province Rongjiang City as the Deputy Secretary of the City Committee and Acting Mayor.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fang felt a wave of emotions.

Not just because of his exceptional promotion.

But also due to the melancholy of returning home.

Thinking back.

He had been away from Yong'an Province for many years.

Now he could finally return home...
