Chapter 656 Minister Chen Demoted
Seeing his son's stubbornness, Bo Song was now completely enraged. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Bo Jinzhou, do you know why your mother went to jail? She plotted against Sang Ruo to save you, do you know that?"
"As a result, you've been speaking up for Sang Ruo at every turn, but you haven't offered any help whatsoever regarding your mother's imprisonment. Do you even deserve to be called a human being?"
He doesn't even care about his own mother, only about his so-called ex-wife...
He truly didn't understand why Sang Ruo was still so devoted to him even after she had already married his uncle. What was it about this woman that made him fall so deeply in love with her time and time again?
No matter how much Bo Song criticized him, Bo Jinzhou's attitude remained unchanged: "Dad, I know my mom wants me to get out, but I told her a long time ago not to do such useless things. I'm atoning for my sins in there now, and I'm doing quite well."
"Besides, she insisted on helping me get out of prison; I didn't force her. Yet you're blaming everything she did on me. Isn't that unfair?"
Moreover, his imprisonment was orchestrated entirely by his uncle, and he cannot be released for even a day as long as his uncle remains angry.
Even he, a caged beast, could see this, so why couldn't his mother see it?
His imprisonment is not something she can easily escape.
My uncle is deeply in love with Sang Ruo, how could he possibly allow him to come out?
He has already given up, so why won't his mother give up?
"Bo Jinzhou, are you even human to say such sarcastic things? You're not worthy of being a son!" Bo Song cursed angrily, "I feel heartbroken for your mother, you're a fucking bastard!"
Cold-hearted and selfish.
No wonder Sang Ruo didn't want to go back to him; there was a reason for it.
Bo Jinzhou endured his father's scolding without saying anything more, hung up the phone, and returned to his prison ward.
The conversation between the father and son ended in failure.
Bo Song originally wanted to ask Bo Jinzhou for advice, but he didn't expect him to have this attitude, so he could only frantically seek help from lawyers.
Bo Jinyan was equally supportive, and with his strong backing, Chen Fangyue's case was heard in the Intermediate People's Court within half a month.
Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan went together, while Bo Song took charge of Chen Fangyue's side. It was the first time the two brothers had faced off in court.
Chen Wei originally didn't want to go, but Chen Fangyue had caused her father to be bedridden to this day, which she couldn't forgive. So after Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan went in together, she also found a seat in the corner of the courtroom.
Sitting in the courtroom, I quietly listened to the outcome.
Based on the existing chain of evidence and relevant legal provisions, the judge sentenced Chen Fangyue to ten years in prison, effective immediately.
Bo Song's efforts ended in failure.
After the court hearing, he repeatedly pleaded with Sang Ruo: "Sang Ruo, Fang Yue is still your former mother-in-law. Please, for the sake of her, forgive her. I was wrong before. I beg you, please let Fang Yue go!"
Sang Ruo was forced to stop when he grabbed her arm. She said coldly, "Second Brother, the judge has already made a ruling on this matter. It's no use for you to apologize to me now. You should face reality!"
If it were before, there might still be a glimmer of hope for change.
But she was unwilling to help Chen Fangyue.
It was simply that Chen Fangyue had committed too many evil deeds, making it impossible for her to forgive her.
After saying that, Sang Ruo broke free from his grasp, got into the car, and the black Maybach sped away from the Intermediate People's Court.
Chen Fangyue's case has now come to an end.
...
Inside a general ward at the First People's Hospital.
After Minister Chen regained consciousness, Director Song, who had always been under his command, came to see him with a bouquet of carnations: "Old Chen, I heard that you suffered a concussion because of your own sister. You should feel sorry for her, but do you know the consequences of abusing your power?"
Abuse of power?
Chen Hui was stunned when he heard this: "Old Song, what did you say? How did I abuse my power?"
He has worked in the industry for decades and has never done anything that would betray his profession. How could he possibly abuse his power?
Moreover, it is well known that he despises those who abuse their power the most.
How could he possibly break the law and become the kind of person he despises the most?
"The higher-ups know that you abused your power to clear your daughter Chen Wei's name and allow her to go home early." Director Song smiled slightly: "Have you forgotten these things?"
Oh right.
When Bo Jinyan warned him earlier, Xiao Wei was taken away by the police for questioning. Unfortunately, Xiao Wei was his daughter, and the police were unwilling to release her. Helpless, he could only use his position to help Xiao Wei escape legal punishment.
But nobody knew about this. How did Director Song find out?
Just as Chen Hui was wondering, Director Song cleared up his doubts: "Your abuse of power has long aroused the dissatisfaction of some people. The higher-ups only came to investigate this matter after receiving a report, and I am the one in charge of investigating this matter."
Some people?
Who exactly are these people? What are their motives?
Upon hearing this, Chen Hui's eyes widened suddenly: "Who reported me? Old Song, can't you just tell me directly?"
"You should know the answer yourself." Director Song didn't say it outright, but gave him a rather veiled answer: "Old Chen, we've worked together for so many years, why did you do this?"
"You were almost retired, an age when you could be enjoying your later years. By doing this, aren't you just ruining your career? Why bother?"
Moreover, he offended Bo Jinyan.
Of all people to offend, he had to offend him.
Chen Hui closed his eyes, his emotions still turbulent: "Old Song, tell me the truth, is this whistleblower Bo Jinyan? Is it him who caused my demotion?"
He was doing well in his position as minister, and if Bo Jinyan hadn't arranged for someone to report him, his actions should have been flawless.
Moreover, apart from Bo Jinyan, no one else would report him; they were all his own people, and he wouldn't leave any evidence against him.
"You don't need to care who reported you. All you need to know is that your abuse of power led to your loss of your ministerial position. The higher-ups have decided to demote you and revoke your subsidized housing."
Demotion was one thing, but to take back the welfare housing allocation?
This result was hard for Chen Hui to accept: "Old Song, why is he even taking away my subsidized housing?"
