The next morning, Secretary Yan of the Civil Affairs Department held a meeting to arrange work. As soon as the meeting was over, his assistant came to report, "Secretary Yan, something happened. The military suddenly dispatched and arrested Director Peng Yuni's assistant, Zheng Yong."
"The military is arresting people?" Secretary Yan and others were shocked.
"They're arresting people right now. Political Commissar Zhao of the Seoul Military Region is leading the team. They've not only arrested Zheng Yong, but also Deputy Mayor Xue's sister-in-law, Li Ping, the director of the textile factory's logistics department. I heard they're also taking Director Peng with them to assist in the investigation."
When they heard that the Seoul Military District was sent to arrest people, everyone present looked at Gong Linglong.
Gong Linglong was a little surprised at first, but now she understood and immediately told them, "There was a problem with the supplies that arrived a few days ago. Some of the quilts contained tattered rags instead of cotton wool. It seems there were also problems with other supplies. Political Commissar Zhao ordered a thorough investigation at the time. Their arrest is likely related to this incident."
"The army's supplies have been tampered with. It's truly lawless." Director Yang shouted angrily.
"Let's go and take a look."
Secretary Yan took the lead and others followed.
This time the troops made a big move to arrest people, and the Revolutionary Committee, the Public Security Bureau and other departments also rushed over urgently. However, Political Commissar Zhao had very detailed evidence in his hands. Not only Zheng Yong, Li Ping and others were arrested, but all those who participated in the process were also arrested. At this time, more than ten people had been detained on the military truck.
When Peng Yuni came out, she tried her best to shirk responsibility, and Xue Hailin was also pressuring her to protect her, but the army showed no mercy and did everything according to the law.
Her assistant Zheng Yong has been confirmed to have violated the law, and all the supplies for the army have been approved by Peng Yuni. Even if she was not involved, she has committed the crime of dereliction of duty, and she has no chance of keeping her job.
After watching the soldiers take the people away, Gong Linglong immediately said to the leaders beside her, "Secretary Yan, Director Yang, the donated materials from our Civil Affairs Department were also approved by Director Peng. The bedding and other items were supplied by the Textile General Factory. We sent a batch of supplies last month, but we didn't carefully open the inside to check. Could there be any problems?"
"Check immediately."
Secretary Yan quickly gave orders, asking several directors to lead the young secretaries and clerks of the department to go out and investigate quickly.
After a day of verification, they actually found evidence of shoddy supplies. They immediately took the problematic materials back and reported the matter to Secretary Tong and other senior leaders before leaving get off work.
Immediately afterwards, all senior leaders of the Textile Factory were suspended, including Xue Hailin’s third brother Xue Haiping.
Xue Haiping and his wife were caught together this time. The army carried out a surprise attack, and the municipal party committee also conducted a swift and resolute investigation. A lot of evidence of corruption was found in their home.
With both witnesses and evidence present, Xue Hailin was powerless to help them exonerate themselves.
The most crucial thing is that at this time someone brought up Wen Qian and said that the cadres who were in competition with him had conducted an overnight investigation and had found out that Wen Qian was not his cousin's wife at all, and also found out the school where Wen Qian and her son worked and studied.
The story Xue Hailin made up yesterday was full of loopholes in the face of evidence, and his repeated excuses were of no use.
On the same day, one of the couple was taken away to cooperate with the investigation, and the other was suspended from work. The third son of the Xue family and his wife were also arrested. The Xue family's situation changed in an instant.
It is said that after Xue Haihui, who was far away in Kyoto, received a call from his nephew, he did not say anything for a long time on the other end of the phone.
After Gong Linglong returned home, she immediately told her mother the new news. Bai Shuixian had not expected that the issue of military supplies was also related to the Xue family. She said, "Things are going even better than we thought."
"Yes, with the army's action this time, Xue Haiping and his wife can't turn things around. Even if Peng Yuni manages to get away with it, they will be implicated in this incident and their careers will be over."
Gong Linglong was happy to think that the Xue family was in trouble. Her eyes were deep as she guessed, "Mom, Xue Haihui must know about what's going on here by now. Do you think he will come here in person?"
"He may not come, but the two old guys should come."
If their two sons and daughters-in-law got into trouble at the same time, they would not sit idly by and would definitely take the train over overnight.
Bai Shuixian thought this was a perfect opportunity for revenge, so she asked her softly, "Linglong, you met with Xue Hailin these past two days. What's his facial color like now?"
"The eye sockets and lips are dark, the cheeks are grayish black, and the earlobes are very dark."
Bai Shuixian's lips curled slightly, and a cold light appeared in her gentle eyes: "Now there are a lot of messes that are irritating his nerves. It will be over soon."
The Xue family stabilized the situation faster than expected. In just one day, Zheng Yong took all the blame, and Peng Yuni returned home after cooperating with the investigation.
Xue Haiping and his wife also wanted to find someone to take the blame, and Xue Haihui and others also tried to help. Unfortunately, the couple were too arrogant and thought that the Xue family was an iron bucket that could not be broken. They left too much evidence and embezzled money at home. This time, even if a god came, they could not save them.
The two elders of the Xue family arrived quickly. Xue Weimin accompanied them to Seoul. They arrived at the train station at midnight the next day and went to Xue Hailin's house quietly.
Although the two old guys have lived in Kyoto for many years, the meanness and pettiness ingrained in their bones have not diminished at all. As soon as they arrive home, they put on airs and scold their eldest daughter-in-law Peng Yuni for not being able to manage the household. They blame her for not handling things properly and making the house a mess, and they also blame her for the arrest of their youngest son and his wife.
After Peng Yuni cooperated with the investigation, she returned home and was scolded by her mother-in-law. She already had a bad temper and became angry on the spot.
In front of her parents-in-law, she slapped Xue Hailin in the face, and then brought out Wen Qian and her son who were locked in the basement.
She hysterically accused Xue Hailin of various evidences of betraying his marriage over the years, pointed at her parents-in-law and angrily scolded them for being immoral and indulgent, and also scolded Xue Haiping and his wife for being stupid, and put all the blame for the family's mess on the Xue family.
The two elders of the Xue family had no idea about the existence of Wen Qian and her son, nor did they know that their eldest son had been having a romantic affair outside for many years. But with the irrefutable evidence in front of them, they had to believe it even if they didn't want to, and they had to endure being scolded by their daughter-in-law.
Xue Weimin hadn't been back for many years. When he returned to Seoul again, he felt very uncomfortable seeing his parents in such a mess.
Seeing Wen Qian and her son, he was also extremely disgusted and nauseated: "Dad, I told you very clearly on the phone the night before last. Second Uncle has the same idea as me. Now someone wants to take over the Xue family and start from us."
"My uncle and aunt are too self-righteous and too stupid. They blocked the road themselves, and they have to bear the consequences themselves."
"Second Uncle also said that it's not appropriate for us to interfere in their family affairs. Let them learn a lesson and remember it. After the storm has died down, Second Uncle will make other arrangements."
"Our family should take care of our own affairs first. You should deal with the mess on your side as soon as possible. There is no need to delay any longer."
