Chapter 1146 - 1192: Star Scout
Yan Changshun really didn’t expect the Discipline Inspection Commission to find him so quickly, but the moment he saw someone from the Commission, Yan Changshun immediately wilted. As a leading official, perhaps in the past, he could be more audacious when encountering the Commission, hoping to save himself through certain connections—and indeed, many in the past had managed to do so, ultimately emerging unscathed through various relationships.
But now, that was completely unfeasible. There was intense pressure from above on anti-corruption efforts—let alone for a bureau director like himself, even those provincial and ministerial level officials in Capital City would be investigated without mercy if the order came down.
So now, as soon as anyone was under investigation, people wouldn’t come to help; they were more eager to distance themselves to avoid being implicated.
Yan Changshun knew that his downfall was sealed, yet he still couldn’t believe that his trouble resulted from this particular incident alone. However, when the person interrogating him took out the video right away, he understood that it was those two women, and that man, who had ruined him.
"My God, I was destroyed by their hands. Who on earth are they?" Yan Changshun wailed internally. He wanted to use the Commission members to find out who these people were, but sadly nobody paid him any attention anymore. He was no longer a bureau director, merely a prisoner.
He absolutely didn’t believe that the Commission would grab him based solely on a video. There could only be one possible explanation for this situation: the other party had a formidable social background. He had been foolish, taking their money but also wanting to play around with their women, and that’s why they wouldn’t let it slide.
He regretted that his lust had led to this outcome. If only he had just taken the money and done their bidding, perhaps he wouldn’t have met this fate. But there was no medicine for regret in the world, and his remaining years would inevitably be spent in prison. All he had evaporated into nothing, his final efforts all in vain—the Commission’s investigation ensured that he couldn’t hold onto any of his ill-gotten gains.
Regarding what would happen next to Yan Changshun, Li Yifei couldn’t be bothered anymore. It was Ye Yunzhu’s third uncle who took care of this matter, of course, there would be no mercy for Yan Changshun. Moreover, given the overall environment, any corruption brought to light would most certainly lead to a dire end.
With Yan Changshun arrested, those below him didn’t quite understand what was going on, but those above had at least some inkling of the reason. Thus, who would dare to cause trouble for Li Yifei’s approvals now? They were successfully processed without a hitch.
This approval was arguably the most critical link for the Oceanic Freight Company. With this issue resolved, the company could now operate completely legally.
