Chapter 450: One-Sided Battle Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter
Yu Miaodan sneered, “You can’t answer? Of course you can’t, because you’re just a pawn on the Yuan family’s payroll, proclaiming you care about the people! I think you care about how much money goes into your account. As long as it gets you money, I don’t think there’s anything you wouldn’t do.”
“You, I will sue you for defamation!” Lu Cuiyang’s face worsened.
Yu Miaodan said contemptuously, “Do as you wish! Not only am I defaming you, I’m also defaming Yuan Bei Corporation; sue me!”
“CEO Yu, I don’t want to take sides, but your words implicated Yuan Bei Corporation. Are you implying they set up Luo Yue? Do you have evidence?” a reporter asked.
Yu Miaodan said plainly, “We base our claims on evidence. Fang Wei, play the video. I believe everyone will understand why I invited you.”
…
He Feng.
All Senate members froze. Li Chunsheng’s footage was shocking. Yuan Bei injected their Blood Dissolving Serum into Luo Yue’s beauty pills, causing six deaths and four injuries.
Most shockingly, they created a contagious virus, the WQ033 series, to profit from selling antibiotics. This was intolerable!
Almost everyone looked at Chang Hui. They didn’t expect him to be Yuan Zhirong’s brother, using this for political gain.
“Chang Hui, what else do you have to say?” Qian Fanghan looked coldly at him. He seemed decisive now.
Qian Fanghan hadn’t expected Li Chunsheng’s evidence to be so shocking. He had scattered evidence, but not decisive proof, as the conspirators had hidden their tracks well. Yet Li Chunsheng produced pivotal evidence.
“This, this—” Chang Hui sweated profusely. He wanted to claim it was a frame-up, but the video was too clear. He hadn’t even changed his clothes.
Who? How could last night’s events be here? Chang Hui was near collapse. He thought, ‘It’s over.’
Niu Zhengman also watched in disbelief, losing his composure. Chang Hui was Yuan Zhirong’s brother? He’d been tricked by Chang Hui, used as a pawn, helping the Yuan family.
One thought filled Niu Zhengman’s mind: he was a pig.
“Chang Hui, you’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing! Secretary Qian Fanghan, this is our fault. I will self-reflect and have Chang Hui removed. I sinned by allowing such a man among us—” Ji Dun stood up.
Qian Fanghan waved his hand, “No need, the people outside will take him. Let’s continue.”
Two armed policemen entered and dragged Chang Hui away.
Then, dozens more armed officers entered!
Ji Dun’s heart sank. The police took Chang Hui without going through the police department. He, the Chief of the He Feng Police Department, didn’t know they were outside.
How could this be a meeting with so many police present?
Everyone thought the same. He Feng would undergo a massive change.
Qian Fanghan ignored them, returning to his slow pace, “Now, let’s discuss the second point: Niu Zhengman and Ji Dun’s money laundering, and Niu Zhengman harming hundreds of villagers.”
This was no longer a meeting; it was an interrogation.
Niu Zhengman sweated. He hadn’t expected this. He hadn’t had a chance to strike back! He’d underestimated Qian Fanghan.
‘Harming hundreds of lives’—the Xi Tong dam case. He’d hold his ground, awaiting evidence. Without it, he could still fight back.
But Ji Dun couldn’t hold it together, “Old Secretary, while I haven’t done everything well, I deny the money laundering.”
Qian Fanghan smiled, “This isn’t an accusation; it’s a fact.” He inserted a USB drive.
The projector displayed Ji Dun’s money laundering, illegal activities, and bribes from Niu Zhengman.
Ji Dun deflated. He understood why Qian Fanghan had done nothing for six months: he was collecting evidence, keeping them relaxed.
Seeing Ji Dun taken away, Niu Zhengman felt relieved. It was only money laundering—not the worst-case scenario.
Qian Fanghan looked at Niu Zhengman, “You haven’t been taken away because you haven’t seen a certain recording yet. Mayor Li, should Mayor Niu see something?”
“Definitely, Secretary Qian,” Li Chunsheng smiled. This was a one-sided battle.
The following videos pushed Niu Zhengman into despair. Footage of him gambling in Las Vegas, the food poisoning incident, and the underground base—it was the end.
Watching Niu Zhengman dragged out, Qian Fanghan said morosely, “It’s unfortunate that our good Mayor Su was harmed by pests like Niu Zhengman. Thank goodness for Mayor Li. Without you, we wouldn’t have found this so quickly. I thank you on behalf of the country and the people.”
Li Chunsheng stood up, “I was just doing my job. Compared to Secretary Qian’s work, this is nothing.”
Qian Fanghan waved his hand, “Your work is undeniable. I didn’t expect Mayor Li to gather more evidence in days than I did in half a year. We need to give important positions to young people.”
Stopping Li Chunsheng, Qian Fanghan announced, “Niu Zhengman, Chang Hui, and Ji Dun are relieved of their duties. Mayor Li will serve as He Feng’s Acting Mayor and Central Secretary!”
Applause erupted; everyone agreed.
Li Chunsheng sighed. This was thanks to Ye Mo. He vowed never to fight Ye Mo again. Ye Mo had countless ways to end Niu Zhengman, but chose the most complicated, benefiting him and Shi Xiu the most.
“Most of our officials are good people. I will have the police surround the Yuan family. This meeting is a turning point for He Feng. We must face the Yuan family and see what they’re up to!” Qian Fanghan declared.
