Chapter 808 - 784:
It was a clear afternoon, the October heat in Yang Guang felt a bit oppressive. Despite the office air conditioning being set very low, Ji Changguo still felt a wave of restlessness in his heart, along with a feeling of stifling heat. He loosened his tie, thinking it was the tie suppressing him, but even after loosening it, he still felt very uncomfortable.
While Ji Changguo was torn about what to do, having even decided he would definitely visit the apartment of the college girl he sponsored last month to have a passionate night, the office door was pushed open. Several staff members dressed in dark blue uniforms, wearing hats from the Disciplinary Inspection Committee, walked in. Two people walked shoulder to shoulder up to Ji Changguo, the person on the left saluted Ji Changguo, then fished out a dark green booklet, as if it were all part of a set procedure.
"Ji Changguo, you’ve been reported for embezzlement, accepting bribes, perversion of justice, and keeping a mistress outside for a long time. You are now formally under shuanggui!" The staff of the Disciplinary Inspection Committee spoke without a trace of emotion. As soon as the words were spoken, Ji Changguo went limp, thinking they were here to ask him to assist in the investigation, not expecting they were actually here to arrest him. The stash of cash hidden at home immediately surfaced in his mind, with no time left to move it.
"Can I...make a phone call?" Ji Changguo calmly looked at the Disciplinary Inspection Committee staff.
"No, you must come with us now!" The committee people were as unmoving as mountains, even for a provincial vice secretary level official they showed no courtesy. Realizing the trouble, Ji Changguo nodded and said, "Then I’ll pack some clothes and go with you!"
"Alright!" The committee people nodded immediately.
Inside the office were Ji Changguo’s change of clothes, he randomly packed a few pieces, then followed the committee people out. Not only Ji Changguo was taken away, several important officials under him were also taken, including a minister.
In an instant, the Provincial Government Office felt as though a powerful nuclear missile had been dropped, shocking everyone. If Liu Zhonghai’s arrest was only accidental, then this time with Ji Changguo and his subordinates being arrested, it was surely a conspiracy. Many people smelled the scent of intrigue.
"Good heavens, Secretary Ji was arrested? Isn’t this terrible?"
"Hmph, what’s the big deal, wrongdoing and shuanggui should go hand in hand!"
"Old Yu, is your record clean? I can assure you, there’s hardly anyone inside this Provincial Government Office with a clean record!"
"Hehe..."
