Pei Yulin saw Wang Jin’s serious expression and knew something had happened.

After trying twice, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Secretary, what happened?"

Wang Jin glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "We all guessed wrong! Li Lin is more resourceful than we thought...Tu Ming has surrendered himself!"

"What? He turned himself in? How is that possible? Looking across the country, I've never seen the third in command of a provincial party committee turn himself in! Is the secretary's information accurate?" Pei Yulin asked in surprise.

Wang Jin said, "The call just now was from Chen Guofu. Tu Ming is in his office right now and has confessed to all his crimes."

Pei Yulin was stunned and said, "This is unbelievable... How did Li Lin do it?"

Wang Jin sighed and said, "I see... No wonder he was holding on to the evidence and he was so hesitant. It turns out he had been planning how to force Tu Ming to surrender step by step... This way he doesn't have to show up and the matter is solved... He doesn't have to worry about the culprit not being punished, nor does he have to worry about becoming the public enemy of Hanjiang... This is a brilliant move! Why didn't I think of it!"

It's not that he didn't think about it. He also imagined that if Li Lin really handed the notebook to him, the first thing he would do was to persuade Tu Ming to surrender! But... he was not sure at all.

Pei Yulin said with some worry, "Although Tu Ming's surrender will cause less panic, but...if the people involved with him know this news, I'm afraid they will be restless. And Yanjing will definitely send people..."

Wang Jin nodded and said, "I have asked Guofu to keep it secret for the time being, but the truth will come out sooner or later... I will report this major incident to the Yanjing Discipline Inspection Commission as soon as possible... What is coming will eventually come, and it cannot be stopped. Instead of worrying about it, it is better to actively cooperate with the superiors in the investigation! Okay, you go back and investigate the case as soon as possible, and try to find out the truth before the Yanjing Discipline Inspection Commission intervenes... I will go to the Discipline Inspection Commission now and meet him first!"

In the interrogation room of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Chen Guofu, accompanied by two clerks, sat opposite Tu Ming. Without asking any questions, Tu Ming poured out all the illegal and disciplinary violations he had committed since he entered politics.

Tu Ming held the disposable teacup in his hand, took a sip to moisten his throat, and continued.

"Comrade Guofu, you know my situation very well, so I won't go into details..."

Chen Guofu nodded and listened quietly.

He sighed deeply, and his eyes gradually became deep, as if he was lost in his memories.

His voice came slowly, like a storyteller.

"I graduated from university at the age of 22. At that time, the country was in short supply of technical talents, so I was assigned to the Provincial Department of Agriculture. Because there were few highly educated talents in the department, I was highly regarded by the leaders in the department. The following year, a unique deputy section-level quota was allocated to me... At that time, many old comrades who had worked for several years were still dissatisfied and went to the department leaders to complain..."

"The director dismissed them with just one sentence. He said, if you have Tu Ming's education and talents, I will go to the Organization Department to get quotas for you! If not, just wait patiently! These people stopped making trouble. Although they were not convinced, they did not have the superior conditions like me. In addition, the director valued me very much, so it was useless to make trouble. This incident touched me deeply. From that day on, I secretly swore that if I became an official in the future, I would be a strong official, like our director, who could promote whoever he wanted. His word is law!"

"I was promoted from the Department of Agriculture to become a director-level official. It was this director who helped me get promoted to a senior cadre despite all the opposition... From joining the workforce to becoming a director-level official, there were some setbacks along the way, but overall it was smooth, and it took me twelve years. When I was thirty-four, I was arranged by the director to go to the countryside and serve as acting county chief. As an acting county chief in my thirties, I was a sensation in that era. Half a year later, the Organization Department officially appointed me as the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and a year later, I was elected as the county chief by the People's Congress... Two years later, the county party secretary was promoted to deputy mayor, and I took over as the county party secretary. I was thirty-six that year."

Tu Ming paused and drank some tea.

He looked up at Chen Guofu, who seemed dissatisfied with himself sitting here and having a monologue.

Chen Guofu said quickly, "I remember when I was 36 years old, I was only a deputy division-level cadre, and I had just been promoted from township party secretary... Deputy Secretary Tu's starting point was indeed high, and he was promoted to county magistrate and county party secretary. I believe that during your rapid rise to prominence, there must have been many noble people who helped you, right? Why don't you list some of them and talk about your relationship with them?"

Tu Ming smiled and said, "What you want to ask is whether I bribed the leaders and whether I traded power for money with them, right?"

Chen Guofu smiled and said, "I am also from that era. It is not easy for people like us who come from rural areas to gain a foothold in the province. So I am very curious, why does the old director think so highly of you? He is willing to offend old employees for you? This does not make sense."

Tu Ming sneered and said, "Comrade Guofu, your thoughts are a bit dirty. This world is not only about power and money, but also about emotions! In front of emotions, money and power are not even as good as shit... To tell you the truth, I have known this old director for a long time. He once gave a lecture at our school. I served him for three days. It was during these three days that we established a good teacher-student friendship...

In fact, with my status at that time, I should have been assigned to work in the township or county where I was registered. It was this old leader who helped me at the critical moment, which allowed me to stay in the province. If you want to ask me if I have ever given gifts to this leader, I can tell you clearly that I have! Those were 50 local eggs and two canned fruits that I brought back from my hometown. Haha, after I took office, this old leader retired. I visited him personally during the holidays, sometimes giving him cigarettes and alcohol, sometimes tea... Comrade Guofu, do you have any relatives? Do you have any teachers? Have you visited them during the holidays?"
