Chapter 1407: The Old Secretary Upholds Justice by Sacrificing His Own Kin!

Early the next morning, there was a knock on the hospital room door.

Yu Jing was reading the newspaper; without looking up, he called out, "Please come in."

Gao Guangquan walked in, leading his wife.

"Director Yu, are you feeling any better?"

Yu Jing's eyes were filled with astonishment.

Because he had not expected Gao Guangquan to come see him at a time like this.

His son, Yu Jian'an, had committed corruption, completely ruining his lifelong reputation!

Everyone else was avoiding him like the plague!

His wife reacted quickly, forcing a smile onto her face, "Xiao Gao, why have you two come?"

Gao Guangquan said with a smile, "I heard Director Yu was hospitalized, and I couldn't stop worrying, so I came specifically to check on you."

His wife took the fruit basket from Gao Guangquan's hands, "It's enough that you came; why bring things?"

Gao Guangquan smiled and said, "This is what I should do."

Yu Jing still felt quite moved inside.

Previously, when Gao Guangquan gave gifts, he had treated Yu Jing and Ding Zhen differently, which had left Yu Jing harboring a grudge against Gao Guangquan.

But, in this special period, that Gao Guangquan could ignore the gazes of others to visit him in the hospital made Yu Jing feel comforted inside.

Sure enough, he hadn't misjudged the man; Gao Guangquan still had a conscience.

"You and Xiao Huang go out for a walk; I have some things to discuss with Xiao Gao," Yu Jing instructed his wife.

"Alright, Xiao Huang, let's clear the space for them!"

Only the two of them remained in the room.

Yu Jing was silent for a moment, a look of gratification appearing at the corners of his mouth, "Congratulations, you performed very well during this flood and received commendation from the city. Because of this meritorious service, your previous disciplinary action can be offset."

Gao Guangquan smiled shamefully, "Merit is merit, fault is fault; how can they cancel each other out? I am very grateful for that disciplinary action; it made me recognize my own shortcomings."

Yu Jing sighed helplessly, "Xiao Gao, I must apologize to you; I admit I had feelings against you before."

Gao Guangquan replied, "I know you blamed me for violating discipline by giving gifts to Secretary Ding! I have reflected deeply. Please rest assured, from now on I will definitely conduct myself properly and will not let down your expectations."

Yu Jing nodded slightly and said regretfully, "If only Jian'an had your level of awareness."

Gao Guangquan comforted him, "Director Yu, don't worry too much. As long as he sincerely admits his mistakes and turns over a new leaf, the organization will give him a chance!"

Yu Jing gave a bitter smile, "I am not worried about him. I just feel ashamed before the Party and the country for having raised such a degenerate."

Gao Guangquan said softly, "Director Yu, you don't need to blame yourself too much. There is no need to forcibly attribute his mistakes to yourself. He is an adult and should pay for his own mistakes."

Yu Jing thought for a moment, opened a drawer, and took out an envelope, "Xiao Gao, please do me a favor and deliver these materials to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Inside are the proofs regarding Yu Jian'an's suspected corruption."

Gao Guangquan looked at Yu Jing in shock, "Director Yu, are you sure you want me to deliver this?"

A cold look appeared in Yu Jing's eyes, "Yes, I trust you completely. I leave this matter to you!"

Gao Guangquan had a new perspective on Yu Jing.

It turned out that Yu Jing had long ago grasped the evidence of his son's corruption;

Faced with family affection and national law, Yu Jing had chosen the latter.

After Gao Guangquan left, Yu Jing closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly, as he fell into great agony.

Once upon a time, his son had also been his pride.

He was clever and studious; by the age of five, he could recite three hundred Tang poems.

When he was in middle school, Yu Jing had just been promoted to Deputy County Magistrate, in charge of educational work...

At that time, the whole county held a middle school student essay competition, requiring them to write on the topic of their father...

The title of Yu Jian'an's essay was "My Deputy County Magistrate Father," and it ultimately won first prize...

Upon learning of this, Yu Jing harshly criticized Yu Jian'an, demanding that he not mention his name or job outside...

Perhaps it was from that time on that his own profession became an inescapable obsession in Yu Jian'an's heart.

Gao Guangquan left the hospital, sat in his car, and dialed Tang Ye's number.

"County Magistrate Tang, this is Gao Guangquan. Just now, Director Yu gave me some materials; I took a look, and they are related to Yu Jian'an's corruption!"

Tang Ye was surprised, "Is Yu Jing trying to uphold justice by sacrificing his own kin?"

Gao Guangquan knew that Tang Ye had no good impression of Yu Jing, "County Magistrate Tang, I once served as Director Yu's Liaison Officer. Although he has a strong desire for power, he is upright at his core. I looked at these materials; they are related to the Rural Clean Water Project."

Tang Ye said, "I am coming to the city immediately; you come with me to hand the materials to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection!"

Gao Guangquan said, "Alright!"

Hanging up the phone with Gao Guangquan, Tang Ye felt a sense of relief.

The dam in Chenxin Town being washed away was related to cutting corners on the flood control project.

However, the embankment had already been destroyed, making it extremely difficult to find evidence.

Now that there was a lead on the Rural Clean Water Project, it could serve as a tool to pry open Yu Jian'an's mouth!

Tang Ye and Gao Guangquan met at a teahouse near the Municipal Committee Compound.

Tang Ye flipped through the materials, "Actually, as early as a few months ago, the Yechuan police were already investigating the Rural Clean Water Project. The police have grasped quite a few leads.

These materials have come just in time; they can perfectly supplement the materials the police are investigating, making the chain of evidence for the entire case more complete."

Gao Guangquan said in surprise, "The police had already discovered that Yu Jian'an was suspected of corruption?"

Tang Ye nodded and said with a firm tone, "Even if the flood hadn't broken out, Yu Jian'an would still have been brought to justice."

In front of Gao Guangquan, Tang Ye dialed Jiang Jing's number.

"Secretary Jiang, there is a matter I would like to report to you!"

"What is it?"

"Yu Jing took the initiative to submit a document, reporting his own son for using his position for corruption and graft in the rural water purification project!"

Jiang Jing was stunned for a moment, "Good, bring this document over; I will wait for you in my office."

A short while later, Tang Ye arrived at the Municipal Party Secretary Office with Gao Guangquan.

"Secretary Jiang, this is Gao Guangquan, the Party Committee Secretary of Chenxin Town. He was once Yu Jing's Liaison Officer. Yu Jing entrusted him to deliver the material to the Discipline Inspection Department."

Jiang Jing took the initiative to shake hands with Gao Guangquan, "So you are Gao Guangquan! You performed very well during this flood relief effort!"

It was the first time Gao Guangquan had seen the Municipal Party Secretary at such close range.

He hurriedly gripped Jiang Jing's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Secretary Jiang, thank you for your encouragement."

Jiang Jing picked up the office landline and dialed the number of the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary, Lei Jialiang.

"Secretary Lei, this is Jiang Jing. I have obtained an important document in my hands related to Yu Jian'an. Come to my office immediately."

"Understood, Secretary Jiang, I will be there right away!"

Not long after, Lei Jialiang arrived at the Municipal Party Secretary Office.

Tang Ye stood up to greet Lei Jialiang.

"Secretary Lei, hello!"

Lei Jialiang was usually stern and rarely smiled, always wearing a serious expression, but upon seeing Tang Ye, a rare smile appeared on his face, and his tone softened significantly: "County Magistrate Tang, you are here too!"

Seeing Lei Jialiang interacting cordially with Tang Ye, Gao Guangquan sighed inwardly; normal people would tremble at the sight of the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary, yet Tang Ye communicated with him with such ease—this was truly the confidence that came from having the backing of a big tree like Jiang Jing.

After reading the document, Lei Jialiang said excitedly, "This material is very timely and absolutely critical; I will hand it over to the working group immediately."

Jiang Jing nodded slightly and instructed, "The leaders of the Provincial Party Committee are also closely monitoring this case; you must accelerate the progress of the investigation..."
