The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 809: Chapter 785:

"After you finish eating, I’ll give you a massage!" Zhang Yantong served a bowl of congee to Ye Chen, then personally fed him. With every spoonful of congee, Zhang Yantong would blow on it twice, then test the temperature. If it was too hot, she would keep blowing. It was truly meticulous care. Ye Chen felt a slight warmth in his heart and after finishing a bowl of congee, he felt as if he was filled with strength.

"Thank you, Tongtong!" Ye Chen said gratefully.

"It’s nothing! How are you feeling, do you want more?" Zhang Yantong smiled faintly. For her, as long as Ye Chen was okay, she was willing to pay any price, even sacrificing her own life.

"No need, help me outside for a walk!" Ye Chen looked at Zhang Yantong.

"Okay!" Zhang Yantong nodded.

Zhang Yantong supported Ye Chen. Even though almost all of Ye Chen’s weight was on her shoulder, she didn’t feel tired at all. She worked hard to support him. After walking out of the hospital room, they were greeted by the nice sunlight. The morning sun shone on the earth, without much heat and not too harsh. The two found an open spot and sat cross-legged on the grass.

"How do you feel? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?" Zhang Yantong asked anxiously.

"No, it’s fine!" Ye Chen smiled.

"Do you know how upset I was the day the doctor pronounced you dead? Especially yesterday when your vital signs disappeared, it was such a heavy blow to me!" Zhang Yantong held Ye Chen’s hands and stared into his eyes, saying, "You are the most important person in my life, you’re everything to me. If you left, I don’t think I could go on living!"

"I know!" Ye Chen cupped Zhang Yantong’s face and said, "Your crying has imprinted on my heart. I felt your every move!"

"Really?" Zhang Yantong looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.

"Of course!" Ye Chen nodded and said, "Don’t think that just because I was unconscious, I knew nothing. In fact, I could feel everything around me!"

"Really!" Zhang Yantong looked at Ye Chen in amazement.

"Of course!" Ye Chen nodded.

Just as the two were talking, Fang Qin hurriedly ran over, panting with a look of joy on her face. She looked around and finally saw Ye Chen and Zhang Yantong on the lawn. She ran over and excitedly said, "Ye Chen, good morning, Captain Zhang, there’s good news!"

"Hmm? What’s the good news?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"Well..." Fang Qin was slightly taken aback, and Zhang Yantong laughed and said, "Go ahead, Ye Chen is not an outsider!"

"Okay!" Fang Qin nodded and then said, "Liu Zhonghai’s crimes have been confirmed, and he has been stripped of all positions. Now Ji Changguo has also been put under investigation, and a few of his subordinates will probably confess soon. Haha, they are all going down!"

"Oh my, this is good news!" Zhang Yantong hadn’t expected that her previously low mood would suddenly turn into excitement. Ye Chen’s recovery, Liu Zhonghai and Ji Changguo’s downfall, it was a double blessing. Zhang Yantong excitedly said, "That’s great, this is simply wonderful!"

"What makes you so happy?" Ye Chen seemed a bit confused, because all these events happened during his coma, and Ye Chen’s frequent mysterious disappearances were nothing new to Li Ruo and Feng Zhixiao. So during the ten days Ye Chen was missing, they showed no reaction.

However, Dian Ling had called Zhang Yantong to inquire about Ye Chen’s situation. At that time, Zhang Yantong was still waiting for news about Ye Chen and only told Dian Ling that Ye Chen was okay. So Dian Ling didn’t think much of it, after all, Ye Chen’s skills spoke for themselves. Ordinary ten or twenty people were not Ye Chen’s match.

Zhang Yantong hurriedly recounted the events to Ye Chen. Ye Chen suddenly understood and then laughed, "It’s good they were caught. Such parasites are best used as a warning to others. Otherwise, they will only grow more numerous!"

"Alas, unfortunately, the state has long turned a blind eye to such cases." Zhang Yantong sighed.

"Nepotism is dragging our country deeper into a vortex of anti-corruption!" Ye Chen saw through it all, as did many others who could see the root cause. The hardest part of anti-corruption in the country is the connections between officials. Pull one weed, and a lot of dirt comes with it. So to eliminate corruption, the system needs fundamental changes.

Ji Changguo soon confessed. When the Disciplinary Inspection Committee steps in, there are basically no problems that can’t be solved. Although Ji Changguo’s embezzlement amount wasn’t as much as Liu Zhonghai’s, as Liu’s superior, he naturally became the prime example in this anti-corruption campaign, including his subordinates.

In less than ten days, the Provincial Committee’s official website issued a series of notices, removing Ji Changguo and several key provincial officials from their positions and expelling them from the party, among other punishments. Ji Changguo was quickly prosecuted by the public security and legal authorities and soon sent to jail.

This case, involving the largest amount of embezzlement since the founding of the republic and affecting numerous high-ranking officials, set a cautionary example for many with Ji Changguo’s downfall. Naturally, Zhang Kaiguo’s opponent disappeared, and Zhang Kaiguo smoothly took over Ji Changguo’s power and placed his trusted aides in top positions.

"Now I finally understand!" Some seasoned politicians remarked knowingly, "All of this was orchestrated by someone from behind the scenes. Now Ji Changguo’s fall is merely a joke!"

Someone curiously asked, "Why is it a joke?"

"How is it not a joke?" The seasoned politician smiled lightly and then said, "Without Wu He, without Liu Zhonghai’s direct conflict with Zhang Yantong, would a big shot like Ji Changguo have fallen? Simply put, Wu He was a crucial factor in Ji Changguo’s downfall. Of course, there were many other factors, such as Ye Chen. He was also a very pivotal element. Without his background in the central authorities, even if Ye Chen died, likely no one would care!"

"I see!" Everyone suddenly realized.

The Disciplinary Inspection Committee operates without needing any reasons. If they catch even the slightest wrongdoing, you’re bound to step down. The Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee is the sword in the hands of the highest leaders, specifically targeting corrupt officials. Although Ji Changguo’s downfall seemed somewhat unjust this time, it clearly showed how deep Ye Chen’s background was.

After staying in Tongzhou City for a while, Ye Chen went back to Jianghuai City. He left the remaining mess in Tongzhou City to Zhang Yantong, who gladly took over. As long as Ye Chen was alive, there was always a way forward, no matter how hard or tiring it was.

The situation in Tongzhou City could temporarily be set aside as Ye Chen returned to Jianghuai City. The matters in Tongzhou naturally triggered a series of responses in Jianghuai City. Jiang Zhonggen held several consecutive meetings in Tongzhou City, requesting further education for some party and government colleagues. They needed to be honest and upright and set up an integrity account, asking them to deposit all the embezzled and bribed funds into this account without pursuing responsibility.

This integrity account quickly became a hot topic, amassing billions in funds in a short time. Jiang Zhonggen was very happy, believing the meetings were effective. However, he didn’t look beyond the appearance to see the substance; such a large sum of money was certainly not all the funds from the corrupt officials. It might only be a fraction, or even just a fraction of a fraction.

"Very good!" Jiang Zhonggen said with a pleased smile to his assistant who came to report, "So many comrades willing to repent, we really must give them an opportunity. Immediately report this good news to the Provincial Committee!"

"Yes!" The assistant nodded promptly, and the news reached the Provincial Committee. Zhang Kaiguo personally endorsed it, indicating that Jiang Zhonggen’s work was commendable. He also instructed that the funds in the integrity account be turned over to the national treasury and that this method should be applied within the Provincial Committee.

Receiving the endorsement, Jiang Zhonggen was elated, for gaining acknowledgment from superiors was the ultimate goal for those working below.

Outside the Heavenly Reversal Gang, Ye Chen drove to the entrance, his body still somewhat weak. Nevertheless, these did not hinder Ye Chen. After all, the two bullets hadn’t taken his life, so how could some bodily weakness bring Ye Chen down?

"Brother Chen!" Feng Zhixiao and others came out from the Heavenly Reversal Gang.

"Hmm!" Ye Chen nodded. Feng Zhixiao walked toward Ye Chen, smiling, "Brother Chen, we have found a lead during the half month you were away!"

"What lead?" Ye Chen was surprised.

"The investigation on that foreigner, the foreign girl who crippled Liu the Tyrant!" Feng Zhixiao hurriedly said.

"Hmm? Where is she?" Ye Chen asked urgently.
