Chapter 451 Still Dare to Be Stubborn?

Qi Jingchuan took over the investigation into the "job trading" matter, and immediately asked Lin Xiaoliu to keep an eye on Yu Qingguo.

His intuition told him that Yu Qingguo knew about this and that he was involved!

The reason Lin Xiaoliu was chosen to do this was because, as the commander of a regiment, it would be easy for him to be exposed if he were to focus on just one person, thus alerting the enemy. But Lin Xiaoliu was different.

No one paid any attention to him, and he also had a very strong sense of investigation.

Once Yu Qingguo notices something, Lin Xiaoliu will find excuses to cover it up and conceal the matter.

Qi Jingchuan started taking action, and Cen Yan didn't ask him what methods he planned to use for the investigation, focusing instead on preparing for the site selection of the daily chemical factory.

Furthermore, Secretary Zheng's relationship with Yu Qingguo was not exactly secretive, and many people had met with Secretary Zheng and paid money to subscribe for jobs, so it was only a matter of time before Secretary Zheng was exposed.

Sure enough, less than two days later, Qi Jingchuan took Secretary Zheng to Cen Yan.

"Wife, he's the mastermind behind this business. Should you interrogate him, or should I?"

Cen Yan gave Qi Jingchuan a thumbs up, "Great job! It hasn't even been two days yet! You've worked hard, I'll handle the interrogation." With that, Cen Yan pulled up a chair, sat down in front of Secretary Zheng, and smiled mysteriously, making Secretary Zheng feel uneasy.

He quickly questioned, "What are you doing, Commander Qi, Comrade Cen? I'm a member of the military, the political commissar's secretary. Are you planning to kidnap me?!"

Secretary Zheng tried to resist, but as soon as she stood up, Qi Jingchuan pressed her down hard and made her sit down!

"Be honest. My wife will ask you questions, and you'll answer them. If you dare to tell a single lie, you'll bear the consequences."

"Qi Jingchuan! Why are you so fierce? You can't be so fierce to your comrades."

Cen Yan shook her head in disapproval and handed Secretary Zheng a glass of water.

"Comrade Zheng, we don't mean to harm you. You probably know why we called you here. Even if you don't, Qi Jingchuan just spoke so loudly, you couldn't possibly not know. You are the person behind the buying and selling."

Secretary Zheng's heart skipped a beat: "Nonsense! What job sale? Whose job did I buy, or whose position did I sell? You have to be responsible for your words. Commander Qi, if you release me now, I can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, you can expect to be criticized by the entire regiment under Political Commissar Lu!"

“Stubbornness will not end well, Secretary Zheng. I will only say this once. We called you here because we must have evidence. As long as you obediently confess who bought the job at the daily chemical factory and who else was involved in buying and selling the job, Qi Jingchuan and I can protect you from the political commissar.”

"Even if you can no longer be the political commissar's secretary, at least you can still maintain a respectable position."

This is the biggest concession Cen Yan is willing to make.

She wasn't sure how many people knew about the chemical factory. If a lot of people knew, she had to prepare in advance to avoid anyone trying to harm her.

But Secretary Zheng's mouth was much tighter than Cen Yan had imagined.

No matter how Cen Yan asked, Secretary Zheng only said one thing: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Wife, don't waste your breath arguing with him," Qi Jingchuan urged, frowning.

Cen Yan nodded, "Alright, since Secretary Zheng refuses to listen to reason and insists on taking the punishment, then I'll grant Secretary Zheng's wish."

As she spoke, Cen Yan opened a drawer, took out an envelope, and coldly threw the evidence inside at Secretary Zheng's face.
