But he himself seemed like a trapped beast, unable to break free from the bondage.

However, Zhou Zhiyuan did not give up.

He knew that he couldn't be defeated by Wenmingli, Wenmingyi and others just like that.

He must find a way to break the deadlock and expose Wenming Yi's crimes.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the study door.

Zhou Zhiyuan was slightly stunned, then put down the teacup, walked over and opened the door.

A thin middle-aged man stood outside the door, his eyes revealing determination and courage.

"Secretary Zhou, I am an investigator from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. My surname is Tang." The middle-aged man said in a low voice.

Zhou Zhiyuan had an idea. He invited Investigator Tang into the study, closed the door, and the two sat down at the desk.

"Investigator Tang, what do you want to talk to me about?" Zhou Zhiyuan asked.

Investigator Tang took a deep breath and said, "Secretary Zhou, I heard that you have been trying to expose the crimes of County Magistrate Wenmingyi, but without success. I want to tell you that you are not alone. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has noticed the problems in Jing'an County, and we have decided to send someone to investigate."

When Zhou Zhiyuan heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

He knew this was his chance to break the deadlock.

He quickly asked, "Investigator Tang, how do you plan to investigate?"

The investigator paused for a moment, then said, "We'll start with Wenmingyi's finances, investigating his sources of funds and expenditures. We'll also investigate his social connections to see who's supporting him."

Zhou Zhiyuan nodded in agreement.

He knew that this was the key to exposing Wenming Yi's crimes.

He decided to fully cooperate with Investigator Tang's investigation.

In the following days, Zhou Zhiyuan and Investigator Tang worked closely together and got closer to the truth step by step.

They discovered that Wenming Yi's financial problems were far more serious than they had imagined.

The source of his funds was unclear, his expenditures were chaotic, and there was even some huge illegal capital flow.

At the same time, they also found out the protection umbrella behind Wenmingyi.

It turned out that in addition to Wen Tai, Wen Yangyao and others who were in the open, there were some higher-level officials who were secretly supporting Wen Mingyi.

For their own interests, these officials did not hesitate to cover up Wenmingyi's crimes.

After all, Jing'an County has richer underground resources than Saikun County.

After obtaining sufficient evidence, Zhou Zhiyuan and Investigator Tang wanted to report the situation to their superiors together.

However, Investigator Tang inexplicably got into a car accident, causing Zhou Zhiyuan so much pain that he secretly vowed that he would not be a human being if he did not send Wenmingyi to prison!
