I'm going to make a few phone calls.

Zhuang Bingqian went to the study and started making a phone call.

Cao Wenxiu held her granddaughter's hand and gave her a stern reprimand.

"Yaya, I'm going to criticize you this time."

You didn't tell me or your grandfather back then, otherwise we definitely wouldn't have let Shi Hongye get away with it so easily.

Zhuang Zhimeng hugged her grandmother to comfort her.

"Hehe, Grandma, I was just thinking we could handle it ourselves, wasn't I?"

I didn't tell you two, because I was afraid you and Grandpa would worry and get upset.

"You, I just can't do anything with you."

An Qingbai sat to one side.

"Grandma, it's my fault too."

We all wanted to solve this ourselves and never considered bothering our families.

Cao Wenxiu patted her grandson-in-law's hand again.

Okay, I know you're all excellent.

But we're family, so we should speak our minds.

Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai hugged their grandmother and made a promise.

"Next time we encounter something, we will definitely tell you and Grandpa."

Zhuang Bingqian calmed down after finishing his phone call and looking at the people in the room.

"It has been found out that Shi Hongye relied on her connections to climb the social ladder."

In the end, he accompanied a high-ranking official in charge of the place where he was serving his sentence.

That person withheld everyone else's application for sentence reduction, but it was always Shi Hongye.

I've been reducing it for five years in total, and it just recently came to an end.

The person in charge had also gotten tired of sleeping in, so he let her go.

"Grandpa, how did Shi Hongye get back to Beijing? Does she have any money on her?"

Zhuang Bingqian gets angry when he talks about this.

"That subordinate in charge was actually a thief before."

He had slept with Shi Hongye a few times, and then told her how to steal without being discovered.

And Shi Hongye actually made it back!

"Speechless. How will the person in charge and their subordinates handle this?"

"The higher-ups are furious this time, and I estimate that the officialdom in the Northeast will be thoroughly investigated."

Will Uncle Qin and the others be investigated?

"Who knows? Their department isn't exactly clean either."

An Qingbai was a little worried.

"Grandpa, will the village officials be investigated?"

"No, this time the investigation won't target village-level leaders. Only leaders at the ministerial level or above will be investigated."

"Then I'm relieved."

Uncle Baogen was a good person; once he was investigated, you won't find such a good village leader again.
