The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 353: I, Xu Qianli, am back again!

Chapter 353: Chapter 353: I, Xu Qianli, am back again!

Xu Qianli!

Xu Qianli!

This guy actually showed up, and not only Zeng Changyun, but all the cadres present were shocked.

He had been taken away by the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee under "shuanggui" in the morning, sent to the city to undergo an investigation, and there was news that the interrogation had obtained solid evidence, and he was doomed.

How come now, by evening, he had returned, safely back to Jiang City, appearing before them?

The sudden appearance of Xu Qianli undeniably greatly shocked the cadres present.

How... how had he come back, how had he escaped the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee’s investigation?

Xu Qianli’s gaze locked onto Zeng Changyun.

"Vice County Magistrate Zeng, don’t just stand there daydreaming, just now you said that if I, Xu Qianli, could make it here, you’d kowtow and apologize to Sister Caixia."

"Isn’t it time for you to fulfill that promise?"

"Or do you need me to help you with that?"

Zeng Changyun said, "Don’t be so smug, Xu Qianli! I don’t know how you came back, but the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee already has the conclusive evidence of your wrongdoing. You’re finished! At such a critical moment, instead of keeping a low profile, you dare come and trouble me, Zeng Changyun—you really have a lot of nerve!"

Lan Qianrong signaled with a glance, and Li Weiguo stood up abruptly, shouting loudly.

"Indeed, we in the Jiang City bureaucracy are aware of your deeds."

"I heard someone testified that you violently raped Li Xiaoju from Qingshan Town and Gu Pan, a leading dancer from Jinkou County, and even had an illicit relationship with a female leader, wrecking marriages and stealing people’s family properties."

"How could someone as despicable as you shout here?"

"Xu Qianli, with the things you’ve done, no one can save you, not even Secretary Ge!"

"You, just wait to be imprisoned!"

Li Weiguo willingly became the pawn for Lan Qianrong, exposing all of Xu Qianli’s dirty laundry.

They had received news from Lu Tianlong that Xu Qianli was finished; yet this lad still dared to strut around here. What gave him the right?

Ye Xuan quickly focused on Li Weiguo.

"Director Li, what did you just say? You claimed I, Xu Qianli, violently raped two women and had an affair with a female leader, ruining marital relations, scheming for their family property."

"Do you dare to take responsibility for your words?"

"Remember, I, Xu Qianli, am still the Party Secretary of Qingshan Town, of the same rank as you. You smear a fellow cadre without any evidence, are you aware of the consequences?"

Faced with Xu Qianli’s questioning, Li Weiguo laughed haughtily, pointing to his nose.

"You say I have no evidence?"

"That’s laughable. Everyone knows that the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee wouldn’t have placed you under ’shuanggui’ without evidence, and they later obtained solid proof of your crimes, leaving no room for your excuses!"

"And here you are, still seeking trouble with me, Li Weiguo; how audacious of you."

"If I were you, I’d find a place to hide, unless you want to be immediately arrested and imprisoned!"

"Xu Qianli, your days of pride are over. In the future, you’ll be nothing but a dead dog stuck in the mud, how dare you challenge me, Li Weiguo?"

Li Weiguo was triumphant; he had formerly feared Xu Qianli a bit—for the lad was truly formidable, extremely ruthless in his methods, even overpowering Zhang Kuisan and utterly subduing Lan Qianrong.

"Now, he’s not scared anymore.

Xu Qianli is doomed anyway. Li Weiguo couldn’t care less about Xu Qianli!"

When Li Weiguo said that, many people began to speak up too.

"Xu Qianli, do you still think you’re the old county magistrate’s secretary, the Director of the County Government Office, basking in glory? You are finished now, what right do you have to come here and cause trouble?"

"Even if Secretary Ge wants to protect you, do you think he can? Secretary Ge is getting closer to stepping down each day, and like a tiger, he’s only left with his last bit of threatening power, he can’t control anything anymore. You are his confidant, and you’re going to be finished too. Both of you will soon be done for!"

"In Jiang City, it will soon be County Magistrate Lan having the final say. You dare to challenge Lan Qianrong, frequently opposing County Magistrate Lan; you’re asking for trouble. You deserve what’s happening today! I’m just waiting to see your end, and you, just wait to go to prison!"

"Hahaha..."

As people talked, they started laughing, bursting into loud laughter, making no attempt to hide their mockery and scorn towards Xu Qianli.

Before today, they had still respected Xu Qianli to some extent.

After today, Xu Qianli is nothing, and anyone could step on him.

As soon as Xu Qianli fell in one night, Ge Changhong was severely weakened, and his retirement was not far off. It’s possible he’d be pushed to retire early. The future of Jiang City would definitely be controlled by Lan Qianrong.

Now, they had already sided with Lan Qianrong, clinging onto her coattails, which was absolutely the best decision for their future.

Just when everyone was overly excited, suddenly a group of people entered the private room.

Jiang City County Secretary, Ge Changhong.

Disciplinary Committee Secretary, Fan Hua.

Deputy Secretary of the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee, Teng Ziyin.

And one very important person, Secretary of the Municipal Committee of Zhongzhou City, Zou Ming.

Seeing Zou Ming, everyone abruptly stood up, standing straight as a rod.

"Hello, Secretary Zou!"

Lan Qianrong quickly stepped forward, "Secretary Zou, with your busy schedule, what brings you to our Jiang City all of a sudden? Is there some important task you need to oversee?"

From start to finish, Zou Ming’s face was stern. Seeing Lan Qianrong, he could no longer contain his anger.

"Lan Qianrong, you really went to great lengths, creating such a huge scene just to fight for the position of executive county magistrate. It’s caused a stir not only in the city but even alarmed the provincial authorities."

"The Secretary of the Provincial Disciplinary Committee personally called me, scolded me harshly, and ordered me to settle this matter today. Otherwise, do you think I would have come to Jiang City personally?"

"Enough, let’s not talk about anything else. Lan Qianrong and Zeng Changyun, follow the people from the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee right now, and clarify everything!"

Hearing Zou Ming’s words, the heads of most people present buzzed.

What, the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee was taking Lan Qianrong and Zeng Changyun away for investigation, what was going on?

Could it be that the issue with Xu Qianli being double-regulated had changed?

What did Secretary Zou just say? Did the Secretary of the Provincial Disciplinary Committee scold him harshly? Could it be that the Secretary of the Provincial Disciplinary Committee was interfering with this case, ordering Zhongzhou City Disciplinary Inspection Committee to release Xu Qianli, and revisiting the complaints against Lan Qianrong and Zeng Changyun?

Could it be that the Secretary of the Provincial Disciplinary Committee was Xu Qianli’s strong backer?

This guy is just a minor department-level cadre, how did he connect with a top official in the province?

Seeing that she was about to be taken away by the people from the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee, Lan Qianrong frowned and remained silent; she still couldn’t understand the full situation and refrained from commenting.

Zeng Changyun panicked, "Secretary Zou, it’s clear that Xu Qianli made a huge mistake; why are you arresting me and County Magistrate Lan? I object, I object!"
