Chapter 446: Suicide out of fear of punishment



"There shouldn't be much resistance now. The rest is up to you."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Baiyi glanced at his watch and realized that he had been here for most of the day.

"Director Cheng, do you really want to investigate Director Li?"

Watching the departing jeep, Li Zhiyuan's eyes were somewhat complicated.

He knew that Director Li of the Commerce Bureau would definitely not be able to withstand the investigation.

It is impossible for anyone in such an important position to not gain any benefits.

There is also competition between the supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned restaurants. Everyone wants to get a larger share and achieve better results.

If any government agency wants more welfare benefits, it must also go through the leadership of the Commerce Bureau.

When asking someone to do something for you, you can't just do it with empty words, right? You have to give them something in return.

"Is there any need to ask? We must not only ensure the safety of the commander's orders, but also carry them out beautifully."

Unlike Li Zhiyuan's complicated expression, Zhang Tongxi's eyes were full of fanaticism when he looked at the jeep.

This is the deterrent that power brings. There are no taboos and the words are the law. Even Mayor Ding dare not disobey in the slightest.

"Comrade Li Zhiyuan, learn more from Comrade Zhang Tongxi and learn how to assess the situation and act accordingly.

"Is it possible for us to disobey the chief? Li Shengqiang can only blame himself for his bad luck."

Ever since Li Shengqiang became the director of the Commerce Bureau, he has listened to so many sweet words that he has lost the ability to think.

When he called just now, his behavior was so abnormal and his words were so disrespectful, but Li Shengqiang didn't realize anything was wrong.

If he had used his brain more, he would have discovered his own abnormality, but unfortunately he didn't.

After leaving the Municipal Bureau, Yang Baiyi went to the old house again and delivered some food to Yang Laoshi.

"Brother, the police came today and said Zheng Jingrun will never come to rob again. Is that true?"

As soon as she saw Yang Baiyi, Yang Jing asked excitedly.

"Well, of course it's true. Public Security comrades wouldn't lie."

Looking at his cousin who is the same age as his sister, Yang Baiyi feels a little complicated.

Because of her, his sister Yang Baiyi suffered a lot at the hands of Liu Genhua.

Logically, I should hate her very much, but that was the adults' fault. Yang Jing was just a one or two-year-old baby back then.

Yang Jing was pale and thin, with dry and yellow hair. Although he lived in the 1970s, he looked like a child who had lived in the early 1960s.

Over the past year or so, life has been extremely difficult for an old man and two children.

"Grandson, when the police came here today, I thought it was Zheng Jingrun who reported the incident to the police and urged us to pay compensation, but it turned out to be not the case at all.

Public security comrades said that the case was closed after the 200 yuan was paid last year. The Zheng family came to ask for money over the past year, which is suspected of being illegal.

The public security comrades recorded the money and things they stole from the house and said they would make them return them.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether they pay it back or not. As long as they don’t come to our house to make trouble in the future, we can live a normal life.”

Perhaps because he felt that there was hope for the future, there was a hint of light in the old man's eyes.

"There's always a way out. Since the public security comrades have said so, then there's definitely no problem. You can live a good life from now on.

Let them continue their studies and have a few more years of education so they can find a job in the future. They won't be like their father, who worked for more than ten years and is still a temporary worker."

Yang Lei and Yang Jing, unlike their parents and grandmother, have very positive outlooks.

After experiencing more than a year of hardships, they are still trying hard to live. They pick up coal cores for heating and rotten vegetable leaves to fill their stomachs. They don't steal or rob, and they live a clean life.

"Well, I will definitely support them in their education and make them useful members of society in the future."

Yang Laoshi made a firm promise to Yang Baiyi.

Of his four children, except for the eldest, the other three grew up abnormally. Now, the only ones still by his side are the brother and sister Yang Lei and Yang Jing.

Even without the guidance of their grandmother and parents, Yang Laoshi is confident that he can raise them well.

After bidding farewell to the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, Yang Baiyi drove back to the military compound.

He had been out all day and didn't even come back for lunch. Faced with Lin Wanru's concern, Yang Baiyi didn't hide anything and told her what happened today.

"Government agencies are different from the military. There are many hidden rules and dirty things inside. This is why I have never wanted to transfer to a civilian job."

As the commander of the military sub-district, Lin Tieshan had a lot of contact with local agencies and was well aware of the twists and turns involved.

It is common for some people to commit fraud in order to achieve their political achievements.

With Yang Baiyi's guidance, the work of the Municipal Bureau went smoothly.

It may be that Ding Chunqiu had informed the people below him, so when investigating Li Shengqiang, not only was there no resistance at all, but all departments were very cooperative.

Those who had provided benefits to Li Shengqiang actively reported him and acted as tainted witnesses.

Three days later, Li Shengqiang was taken away from the director's office by public security officers.

He could never have imagined that just two days ago, in order to cover up the truth and plead for Zheng Jingrun, he would be put in jail himself and live next door to Zheng Jingrun and his son.

He couldn't understand when his popularity had become so bad. In the past, his colleagues and subordinates who wanted to get more shares were willing to risk their lives and rush to be witnesses to report him.

Ding Chunqiu's secretary went to the detention room to visit Li Shengqiang. After he left, Li Shengqiang sometimes cried loudly, sometimes laughed wildly, and kept muttering to himself.

If a person is successful and successful for a long time, he will inevitably become arrogant, forget his own reasons and become self-righteous.

Cheng Liang had clearly given him signals, but he ignored them.

Just yesterday, he was still secretly holding a grudge against Cheng Liang and decided to reduce the city bureau's welfare share this year.

Ridiculous, so ridiculous!

The next morning, the guards in the detention room discovered that Li Shengqiang had committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

"Commander, what should we do next? Should we continue investigating?"

Cheng Liang asked with gritted teeth.

"This matter ends here. Just have Zheng Jingrun and his son return the stolen property as soon as possible."

After this incident, I believe that the officials in Luoshui City will be honest for a long time. Yang Baiyi’s goal has been achieved.

Under the supervision of the Municipal Bureau, the Zheng family quickly returned all their property.

Including bicycles and radios, all were compensated according to the original price. The damaged furniture was also replaced with a new set without any discount.

Zheng Jingrun, last year's city-wide model worker, will spend the rest of his life on a farm.

Given his physical condition, it would be difficult for him to make it back.

All three sons lost their jobs. The eldest found a temporary job in a factory. The second and third sons had no jobs to accept them and were not married, so they had no choice but to obey the arrangements and go to the countryside to join the production team after the next spring.
