Chapter 2878: We Meet Again

The person who arrived was Wu Jun, deputy captain of the criminal police team. This morning, Zheng Suqin went to the municipal bureau to get her father out, and Wu Jun was in charge. Only a couple of hours have passed, so why is this Wu guy showing up again?

Zheng Suqin suddenly felt a very bad premonition. She glanced at her mother, who had just opened the door and let these uninvited guests in: "Captain Wu, do you have something to discuss?"

Wu Jun smiled and said: "Is Director Zheng at home? I have a few matters I need to ask him about."

"Who is it!" Zheng Mingyu shouted from inside.

Zheng Suqin furrowed her brows and stepped aside: "My father is in the study. Please go in."

Wu Jun strode in, saw Zheng Mingyu, and smiled: "Director Zheng, I didn't expect to see you again here."

Zheng Mingyu's gaze swept past Wu Jun and landed on a middle-aged man behind him. He didn't know this person, but he had seen him twice at the bureau's Party conduct and clean government meeting. He is the director of the Third Inspection and Investigation Room of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Zheng Mingyu's eyes twitched violently, his pupils contracted sharply, his hands and feet began to go numb, and then his temperature dropped rapidly, turning icy cold. Immediately after, the color drained from his face, quickly replaced by pallor.

Zheng Mingyu fumbled in the drawer for a pack of Hua Zi cigarettes, then, with wobbly legs, walked over, forcing a smile uglier than crying: "Kang... Director Kang, long time no see. Come, come, sit down and let's talk if there's anything."

"No need!" Kang Zhangxi waved his hand, refusing the cigarette Zheng Mingyu offered: "I have a few matters I need to discuss with Director Zheng. Please come with us."

Zheng Mingyu's throat gurgled once, his voice trembling as he said: "If there's... if there's something, we can talk about it at home. There's no... no need to go to your place."

"No way!" Kang Zhangxi said expressionlessly: "It's not convenient to talk at your house. Let's go to mine."

Wu Jun gestured to the two criminal police beside him. The two officers walked over, one on each side, and grabbed Zheng Mingyu's arms: "Director Zheng, let's go!"

According to Li Honghai's confession, Zheng Mingyu accepted bribes totaling over 1.8 million yuan from him, plus two sets of housing and gold jewelry, with a total value of approximately 3.5 million yuan.

Because they suspected there were even bigger corrupt elements inside the Materials Bureau, if Zheng Mingyu were handed over to them for internal investigation, the outcome would most likely come to nothing, and even the evidence in hand might mysteriously disappear.

Therefore, Yue Guoqiang directly sent the case to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. As for the Yuxi Real Estate case, it is a criminal case, and since Zheng Mingyu's bribery case was submitted by the municipal bureau, this case is to be jointly investigated by the disciplinary inspection and the municipal bureau.

Zheng Mingyu was escorted out of the study by the two criminal police. His wife happened to come out of the kitchen, saw the situation was not right, and hurried over to stop them, asking: "What are you doing?"

"Auntie!" Wu Jun said to Zheng Mingyu's wife, Tao Yanhua, who had personally opened the door for them and warmly invited them to stay for lunch, leaving a good impression: "We're taking Director Zheng back to understand the situation. If there's nothing, he'll be back soon."

Zheng Suqin walked over with somewhat unsteady legs, but her hands kept trembling uncontrollably: "Mom, this is official business. Please move aside quickly."

Tao Yanhua is no fool; her husband has already been taken away, and she still can't see it?

But she also knows that stopping them is useless and might even drag her in.

Tao Yanhua stepped aside, watching Wu Jun and the others take Zheng Mingyu away, then suddenly plopped down on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down her face.

"Suqin, think of a way quickly, save your dad."

"Mom, get up!" Zheng Suqin pulled Tao Yanhua up, helped her onto the sofa: "I'll call my eldest and second brothers, tell them to come right away."

"Okay, okay, okay!" The flustered Tao Yanhua nodded while wiping her tears: "Hurry and get them back."

Zheng Suqin took a deep breath, tried to steady her flustered heart, picked up the phone on the tea table, and dialed. She didn't know what crime her father had committed, but the prostitution matter definitely couldn't be hidden. Even if she didn't say it today, her mother would hear about it from others in a couple of days.

She called her eldest and second brothers over because, first, the eldest and second have broad connections and some influence in the municipal bureau, so they might find out what mistake her father made and then think of a way to save him.

Second, regarding the prostitution matter, she must tell them, but her mother has a bad heart. If she gets stimulated and her emotions collapse, leading to something happening, she, as one person, couldn't handle it, so calling her eldest and second brothers back gives her peace of mind.

Twenty-odd minutes later, a young man hurried in: "Mom, Suqin, what happened to Dad?"

Zheng Suqin waved her hand: "Wait until the eldest brother arrives before we talk."

After another ten or so minutes, a man with a steady demeanor walked in: "Suqin, what happened?"

"Eldest brother!" Seeing her eldest son, Tao Yanhua's tears began to pour down again: "Your father has been taken away."

Zheng Suqin explained: "Eldest brother, second brother, Dad was taken away by a man named Wu Jun from the criminal police team. You have broader connections, so please quickly find out what mistake Dad made."

"Okay!" The eldest brother said: "I'll call right now."

"Wait, I still have one thing to say." Zheng Suqin hesitated, then gritted her teeth and said: "Dad was caught for prostitution the day before yesterday in the early morning. This morning I went to the municipal bureau to pay the fine, and the person handling the procedures was Wu Jun."

"Prostitution?" The eldest and second brothers stared wide-eyed, their faces full of disbelief.

Tao Yanhua was stunned for a moment, then let out a yell: "Zheng Mingyu, you shameless old thing. You're this old and still doing this kind of thing. I may be shameless, but I still need to save face, and the child needs face too..."

"Mom!"

"Mom!"

The eldest and second brothers rushed forward to calm the agitated Tao Yanhua: "Don't get excited, you have a heart condition, stay calm, stay calm..."

"Uh!" Tao Yanhua suddenly rolled her eyes up, her body went rigid, her face turned from flushed to pale, and then turned bluish.

"Quick, quick, quick!" The second brother shouted in a hoarse voice: "Suqin, the medicine for Mom's heart condition is beside the TV cabinet. Get it quickly."

Zheng Suqin had already run over, found the quick-acting heart-saving pill, and, with trembling hands, fed it to Tao Yanhua's mouth.

A few minutes later, Tao Yanhua's body slowly recovered, her face began to regain its rosy hue, and her tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

"Mom, how do you feel?"

Tao Yanhua weakly said: "I'm fine. You guys hurry up and find someone to ask, find out exactly what happened to your dad."

"Okay!"

The eldest brother started making frantic calls, and then the second brother did the same. After waiting for over an hour, the phone rang.

The second brother quickly picked up the phone: "Hello, I am Zheng Gang. Who is this?"

"Ergang, it's your eldest brother Damin!" came a low voice from the receiver: "Where is your brother?"
