Chapter 214 The Second Lucky Person

Yan Peng felt a chill on his back when he heard these voices.

He had been trying to find out about Jiang Ning since his name was mentioned by that idiot selling candy last week.

But Yan Peng's umbrella was too big. There had been strong storms before, but he was still kept out and no rain fell on him at all.

After Yan Peng calmed down and talked to his brother-in-law about Jiang Ning, who could know other people's secrets, he felt that Jiang Ning was not a big problem.

After all, no matter how magical Jiang Ning is, he is just an ordinary person with a system, and ordinary people have ways to deal with it, just like the people who are investigating him.

Everyone has weaknesses. If you provide enough value, you can turn your enemy into a friend, stand on his side, and help him avoid some investigations.

Yan Peng was used to doing these things. As soon as he knew he would be investigated, he wanted to contact Jiang Ning, but he failed several times. After his brother-in-law hinted to him that there were official people around Jiang Ning.

Yan Peng also went to the place where Jiang Ning recorded the program, hoping to persuade Jiang Ning, but unfortunately he still didn't find the opportunity.

However, he made a lot of money that day, which comforted Yan Peng a little.

Through these two incidents, Yan Peng also understood that Jiang Ning was being watched by the authorities, and that even her phone calls and normal interpersonal interactions were likely to be monitored.

Thinking of this, Yan Peng looked at Jiang Ning with sympathy and pity and said.

"Miss Jiang knows a lot, but she has very little free time. Sometimes she doesn't really mean what she says."

"What are you barking about?" Jiang Ning tilted her head.

"He doesn't think I'm under official control, does he? But isn't he the one who's actually controlling me? If you try again, you'll know he can't make any calls except to people related to the case. Oh, not even to the phone company."

Yan Peng also wanted to sow discord between Jiang Ning and the authorities, and hinted to netizens that Jiang Ning's words were not genuine and were spoken under official control.

But before this provocation could succeed, he was hit hard by a loud thunder.

Thinking about himself running around these days for the official investigation, and his brother-in-law who gave him advice and acted as a protective umbrella, Yan Peng's back immediately became sweaty.

After breaking out of the information cocoon, Yan Peng finally sensed something was wrong. His legs were weak and he was supported by the police officers. His face was pale and he no longer had the confidence that he had just now that everything was under control.

Jiang Ning shook his head. He had been enjoying himself for too long and had forgotten where he was.

How could we really allow those who are on the official investigation list to find excuses for themselves?

Two hours later, the tax investigation results for the people on the list came out, and it turned out that each of them had committed tax evasion.

The oldest one can be traced back to the year when Yan Peng first started working.

The amount of tax evasion committed by the people on the list reached a whopping 30 billion.

This figure caused a sensation during the live broadcast. You have to know that Yan Peng is just the head of a housing and construction department in a third-tier city, but he is involved in so much money. It is obvious that there is still room for investigation.

[I guessed he was a termite, but I didn't expect he was a termite from beginning to end, with no change in his mindset.]

[They're just born bad. Eliminating this pest early is a contribution.]

After the tax inspection, the police dragged Yan Peng to the next stage to investigate the issue of accepting bribes.

At this point, Yan Peng reacted again, but no one cared about him. The police held him tightly and waited for the results of the investigation.

The result was another shock. Yan Peng accepted bribes from real estate bosses and let the inspection go easily. According to statistics, more than 5,000 people were affected. More than 100 people were killed because there were problems with the fire-fighting equipment installed in their houses. They were not checked and caused tragedy after the fire broke out.

The results of these two inspections were more distressing each time. Those things that were hastily removed and once concealed were once again brought up on the Internet.

Yan Peng was criticized by the entire Internet. If he appeared in a crowd now, he would definitely be pelted with rotten eggs.

After the investigation into bribery, the civil servants looked even more solemn, and those who were suppressing Yan Peng put in more effort.

Later, during the investigation of Yan Peng, it was discovered that Yan Peng had embezzled public funds, concealed or falsified the true situation of the victim, and caused secondary harm to the victim's family.

Yan Peng was sentenced to 50 years in prison for multiple crimes, and his brother-in-law was sentenced to 30 years in prison. All illegal gains of both were confiscated.

The real estate bosses involved in the case and those who helped Yan Peng evade taxes were all punished accordingly.

After Yan Peng's incident, the government provided compensation to the victim and his family.

After this episode, netizens no longer had the joy they had felt the last time they watched the show. They felt much heavier in their hearts, especially when they saw the accusation videos from the victims' families who had not yet come to terms with the situation. Their eyes became hot.

The issue of building safety has been raised again and taken seriously.

Across the country, relevant departments launched inspections to ensure that the safety of citizens would not be harmed in any way, and those who needed to be dealt with were dealt with.

[This is a small, 18th-tier city. The relevant authorities just came to inspect it. They even replaced the firefighting equipment with new ones, and the garbage disposal was also replaced. Now, no one dares to lock up the equipment, I guess.]

[Our property management has also been changed. This kind of thing that only appears when collecting money should have been replaced long ago.]

[It’s a shame, those people will never see the current scene again, and won’t be able to appreciate the changes in the building.]

[I want to cry. It’s all because of Yan Peng and his people. They bought their own house, so why can’t the safety be guaranteed?]

[I finally understand why most people in Yan Peng's city have their own firefighting equipment in every household. They're forced to do so.]

[I just hope this kind of thing never happens again, instead of just getting upset when something happens and then continuing to slack off.]

[I saw the official news above. They've created a small app where you can report housing regulatory violations and irresponsible behavior. I just wrote it, and within ten minutes someone contacted me. It seems like they're really going to take action on this situation this time.]

The Yan Peng incident is a very big one. It has been a hot topic online for a whole day and there is no sign of the heat dying down. The authorities are also happy to see this situation.

Only when the heat remains high will those people be afraid, remember forever the consequences of doing those things, and dare not ignore the safety of citizens anymore.

The next day, "It's Your Turn" was broadcast live as scheduled, and a large number of netizens flocked to the show as soon as it started.

Knowing that the authorities are serious, some victims began to write down situations that they were unable to report before in the anonymous reporting column of the live broadcast.

Some people were attracted by yesterday's live broadcast and wanted to know who would be investigated this time.

Jiang Ning appeared in front of the camera, summarized Yan Peng's criminal facts, and began to talk about the next person to be investigated.

"Since Yan didn't make a choice, the production team will select the candidate based on the list with the most votes."

Jiang Ning paused for a moment, which was very typical of a host, and the live broadcast also started with a legal education advertisement recorded by Jiang Ning.

Then, amidst a string of ellipsis in the barrage, Jiang Ning appeared in front of the camera again.

"This person is——Zhao Tingzhou!"
