In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

Seeing how excited Chen Jinghan was, Boss Wang himself got a little carried away.

After thinking for a moment, Boss Wang said with a smile, "Alright, seeing that Director Chen is about to be brought down, if we don't go and see him, we might not be able to see him again."

"It's a real shame about Director Chen. He finally became a minor leader, but before he could even enjoy his position for a few days, he was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission. Haha, what a joke, a huge joke."

"I don't even know if Chen Jingcheng will have the face to show his face in public even after he gets out."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinghan sneered, "To see someone?"

"Who else can he see? Who else would he dare to see?"

"He became a deputy section chief and doesn't know his place anymore. He offended everyone right from the start. Haha, from now on, he'll be nothing. Who will respect him?"

"I taught him long ago that officials should especially be kind to others, but he just wouldn't listen. Not only did he not get along with anyone, he also didn't give anyone face. He insisted on playing the role of someone who doesn't care about family or relatives. Well, now look what happened. He's fallen on hard times. Let's see how he cries."

Boss Wang laughed heartily, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Let's go. Since we're going to see him, someone should go and see what Director Chen is like. He's so arrogant, isn't he? I'll show him right now that without the county magistrate as his backer, he's nothing!"

"Jing Han, let's go. I'll call a few brothers to come with us later and make Chen Jingcheng understand that he's nothing but a fart in front of us!"

Chen Jinghan patted Boss Wang on the shoulder, and at that moment, he laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"A fart? Haha, yes, that's right, Chen Jingcheng is nothing but a fart!"

"Today, let him understand completely."

With their laughter, the two headed towards Chen Jingcheng's house.

When Boss Wang said he was calling for reinforcements, he actually called three people over. Including the two of them, there were five burly men, all of them drunk. They didn't look like they were going to visit someone; they looked more like they were going to cause trouble.

And they did indeed go and cause trouble.

At that moment, Chen Jingcheng had just finished having dinner with his parents.

Although the meal was finished, the table had not yet been cleared, and Chen Jingcheng and Chen Dachuan were drinking together.

Today is a workday, and Chen Jingcheng shouldn't be drinking. However, he has already asked for leave and reported to County Chief Li Feitu, so his drinking is within the bounds of the law.

Seeing that he was about to be taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, and that he might soon see his biological parents, Chen Jingcheng wanted to spend more time with them, have a drink, and then they would be easier to talk to.

"Jingcheng, is something on your mind?"

"Are you about to be taken away for investigation?"

Chen Dachuan's face showed a trace of pain. He had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to say it. He had never been an official and didn't know how to handle this kind of thing, but he was Chen Jingcheng's father, and he cared about his son.

If Chen Jingcheng really made a mistake, then although he felt sorry for him, he would not feel wronged. If someone makes a mistake, they should be punished, especially if they are an official and do not act as a good official. They should be punished even more. But Chen Jingcheng has only been an official for a few days.

Even if this doesn't count as being an official, the most important thing is that he understands Chen Jingcheng and knows what kind of son he raised.

Chen Jingcheng is innocent.

Upon hearing this, Li Sumei fell silent, her eyes reddening. She dared not speak more, fearing that she would burst into tears if she did, and her tears would only make Chen Jingcheng more worried.

Chen Jingcheng smiled as he looked at Chen Dachuan and his wife, and chuckled, "Dad, Mom, you figured it out. But it's good that you know. Indeed, the Discipline Inspection Commission will probably take me away in the next couple of days."

"Don't worry about anything. Rest assured, I have evidence of my innocence. At most, they'll detain me for a few days and then release me."

Chen Dachuan didn't know if it was true or if Chen Jingcheng was just comforting them, but he could only choose to believe it now. Li Sumei was right beside him, and he couldn't say anything more that would make Li Sumei worry.

"Jingcheng, just keep that in mind. Your parents can't do much for you, but we'll be waiting for you to come home."

"Don't worry about us. Just cooperate with the investigation. I believe the organization will clear your name."

After saying that, Chen Dachuan frowned as he looked at Li Sumei, who was secretly wiping away tears, and said, "Don't cry. The more you cry, the more worried the child will be. Besides, don't worry about Jingcheng. He's our own child, how could we not know him?"

"He is innocent, I believe him, and you should believe him too."

Upon hearing this, Li Sumei could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.

"Of course I believe in my son, but, but my son is clearly innocent, why is he being taken away for investigation? Waaah, although I don't know how painful it is to be taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, I have checked, and it is more painful than being locked up in a detention center. My son has only been working for a few days, why is he being targeted like this?"

At this point, Li Sumei looked at Chen Jingcheng, her voice choked with emotion.

"Son, let's quit our jobs, okay? We'll give up our official positions and our jobs. Mom will support you. As long as we're safe and sound, that's better than anything else."

Concern leads to confusion; Li Sumei herself knew that this statement was impossible.

Before Chen Jingcheng could speak, Chen Dachuan said in a deep voice, "Alright, stop crying. Do you even believe what you're saying? Even if you resign and stop being an official, it won't solve the problem. Believe our son. He says he's innocent, so he must be innocent."

"He said he's fine, so he's definitely fine. This time, our son was implicated by the county magistrate."

At this point, Chen Dachuan looked at Chen Jingcheng, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Jingcheng, the news is going viral at home and everywhere. It's being said that the county magistrate was berated by the new municipal party secretary in the city, and he was almost beaten up. They say he's embezzled, accepted bribes, and abused his power. It must all be false, right?"

Chen Jingcheng was both amused and exasperated by what he heard.

But he could understand that this was how rumors spread among the people.

You say you saw a cow, and when the story reaches the fifth person, the cow becomes a cow with three horns. By the time it reaches the tenth person, perhaps the cow has sprouted wings.

The credibility is very low, but the facts are all there; it's just that not everyone can discern the true situation from them.

Chen Jingcheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Dad, that's fake. County Chief Li was indeed reprimanded by the newly appointed Municipal Party Secretary Sun Yikun in the city, but that's all. There was no physical violence involved, and there was no corruption or bribery. I can say with 100% certainty that County Chief Li doesn't have these problems. In fact, he's a good official!"

Chen Jingcheng sighed softly, somewhat helplessly.

"However, even a good official is useless. Sometimes, political matters are hard to explain. But don't worry, Dad and Mom, I'll be fine. It will take me three to five days, or ten to fifteen days, to get out safely."

"I can assure you of that."

Hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Chen Dachuan breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Jingcheng was able to state the time so confidently, which meant he was very confident.

Just as they were about to say something, there was a knock on the door.

After Li Sumei opened the door, she frowned immediately upon seeing who it was.

"Chen Jinghan, what brings you here?"

Then, Chen Jinghan's voice reached Chen Jingcheng's ears.

"Haha, Second Aunt, how could I not come? I have something to ask of Director Chen of our family, so I had to come and see."

"Oh, I forgot, I heard that Director Chen is going to get into trouble. Hehe, but it's not surprising. I told him a long time ago that this is not how you be an official, but he wouldn't listen. Now look what happened. He's only been out of office for a couple of days, and he might be going to jail with him. He really brought this on himself."

"Oh, Second Aunt, why are your eyes so red? You haven't even wiped away your tears yet. Did you cry? It seems you all know Chen Jingcheng is going to jail!"
