Official excuse: I was sent to work at the grassroots level for training, and Hou Liangping arrested

At that moment, Chen Yanshi, sitting in the audience, felt dizzy and a sharp pain in his chest upon hearing the verdict. He abruptly stood up, gripping the armrests of his chair tightly, his face instantly turning ashen.

Seeing this, Wang Fuzhen quickly stepped forward to help him up. But Chen Yanshi seemed to have lost all his strength, and his body went limp and he collapsed.

"Old Chen? Old Chen!" Wang Fuzhen shouted emotionally, "Call an ambulance quickly!"

“My wife, Chen Yanshi, is the adoptive father of Sha Ruijin, the provincial party secretary.”

Enraged, Chen Yanshi coughed up blood: "Pfft!"

Zhang Fang slowly stood up, looked at the scene, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Quick, call an ambulance."

The judge's assistant quickly stood up, took out his phone, and dialed 120 for an ambulance.

The crowd hurriedly carried Chen Yanshi out of the courtroom and took him to the hospital. After emergency treatment by the doctors, Chen Yanshi finally regained consciousness. But his eyes were filled with despair and resentment.

His favorite son, Chen Hai, was sentenced to eighteen years in prison.

This was the greatest insult to him.

"Little Gold... Little Gold. Quick, call Little Gold." Chen Yanshi's lips trembled as he slowly raised his right hand.

Wang Fuzhen sighed, slowly picked up her phone, and dialed Sha Ruijin's number.

Then, press the button for exemption from medical examination.

Sha Ruijin's authoritative voice came through: "Uncle Chen, you should get some rest. We live in a society governed by the rule of law, and we must firmly uphold the rule of law."

"I've heard about Chen Hai's situation. Please accept my condolences, both of you."

I'll visit you when I have time.

"I have a meeting, so I'll stop here for now."

Although Sha Ruijin's words were polite, Chen Yanshi sensed the distance and indifference within them. His heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp blade.

Looking at Chen Yanshi's pale face, Wang Fuzhen felt a mix of emotions. She knew that this verdict was undoubtedly a huge blow to Chen Yanshi. She gently held Chen Yanshi's hand, trying to comfort him: "Old Chen, don't be too sad. Haizi is innocent, we will definitely find a way to get him out."

Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Chen Yanshi's eyes. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "Yes, we can't just give up like this. Xiao Hai is innocent; we can't let him suffer such an injustice."

Meanwhile, a large number of reporters and members of the public had gathered outside the courthouse. They were discussing the matter, all saying that Chen Hai was a major corrupt official.

"If you ask me, this is what happens to corrupt officials."

"That's right, they plundered the people's wealth. They embezzled 1.2 billion."

"A prime example of a petty official with enormous corruption."

"If a mere district party secretary dared to embezzle 1.2 billion yuan, then one can only imagine what the municipal and provincial party secretaries are capable of."

Chen Yanshi, his face full of resentment, gritted his teeth and said, "Little Jinzi, you...you're turning your back on me...your uncle."

"Fuzhen, help me up. I need to make a phone call to my old comrades."

"I want to get justice for my son."

Chen Yanshi, trembling, sat up with Wang Fuzhen's help.

Wang Fuzhen handed him a pair of reading glasses: "Old Chen, you just vomited blood... I'm worried."

"Don't worry, I won't die." Chen Yanshi's expression was serious, his face pale, and his gaze firm and resolute.

"Back then, during the Battle of Yuncheng, I carried a satchel charge to blow up a bunker."

"I still have a deep connection with my old comrades-in-arms."

Chen Yanshi's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, his voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were piercing: "The son I raised would never accept a bribe, especially not 12 billion yuan."

"Such a large sum of money must be suspicious."

"Does he need money? Do I need money?"

"Our Chen family has been clean for generations, how can we tolerate such slander! I want them to see what the truth is!" Chen Yanshi gripped the phone tightly, his eyes gleaming with unyielding spirit.

Then, Chen Yanshi dialed the phone numbers of his old comrades-in-arms one by one.

"Old Ding, it's me, Chen Yanshi..."

“Now that we guys are old, the local comrades don’t take us seriously at all.”

"Old Xiao, my son Chen Hai has been sentenced to eighteen years in prison by the Handong Provincial High Court..."

“I would swear on my life that my son could never have embezzled 12 billion yuan.”

"This 12 billion yuan is definitely a frame-up. The purpose is money laundering..."

With each phone call, Chen Yanshi spoke in his hoarse yet firm voice, recounting his son's innocence and unyielding spirit.

His tone was full of trust in his old friend and a persistent pursuit of the truth.

Those old comrades who had fought side by side on the battlefield were all deeply moved when they heard Chen Yanshi's account.

Some comrades immediately said they would do their best to help find out the truth.

Some comforted Chen Yanshi, telling him to take care of himself and that everything would come to light.

After finishing the call, Chen Yanshi let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes shining with hope.

“Fuzhen, look. My old comrades-in-arms have not forgotten the friendship they shared back then.”

Wang Fuzhen looked at Chen Yanshi with eyes full of heartache and respect.

She knew that this man would do anything for his son and for the truth.

“Old Chen, I believe in you, and I believe in our son,” Wang Fuzhen said softly, holding Chen Yanshi’s hand.

Chen Yanshi nodded, his gaze even more resolute: "Our Chen family has a long history of integrity. This time, we absolutely cannot be wronged!"

After saying that, he gripped the phone again, preparing to contact the next person who might be able to help.

His heart was filled with a steadfast commitment to justice and a yearning for the truth.

Chen Yanshi took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with unyielding spirit. He dialed a number he hadn't made in twenty years.

Thirty seconds later, the call was answered.

Chen Yanshi took a deep breath: "Hello, old commander. It's me, Chen Yanshi."

"Chen Yanshi? Little Pebbles?"

"After all these years, I never thought I'd hear your voice again." A weathered yet powerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Old Chief, I have a favor to ask this time." Chen Yanshi's voice trembled slightly, but remained firm.

"Tell me, I'll help you with anything I can do." The old commander's voice revealed an unquestionable resolve.

Chen Yanshi told the old leader about his son Chen Hai in detail.

It's worth noting that Chen Yanshi had served as this leader's bodyguard for several years back then, so there was a certain connection between them.

This former leader is now reaping the rewards of his good fortune; he is now a vice-minister.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Little Stone, I understand. Don't worry, as long as the truth is as you say, I will definitely help you get justice." The old commander's voice was steady and powerful.

Hearing this, Chen Yanshi felt as if he had taken a reassuring pill.

He took a deep breath, his eyes shining with gratitude: "Thank you, old commander, thank you so much."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yanshi breathed a long sigh of relief.

He looked at Wang Fuzhen, his eyes shining with hope: "Fuzhen, look. Even the old commander is willing to help us. This time, our son will definitely be saved."

Wang Fuzhen looked at Chen Yanshi with eyes full of satisfaction and admiration.

She knew that this man had given everything for his son and for the truth.

She gently held Chen Yanshi's hand and whispered, "Old Chen, I believe in you, and I believe in our son. We will definitely get through this."

Chen Yanshi nodded, his gaze becoming even more determined: "Yes, we will definitely overcome this difficulty. Because our Chen family has been clean and honest for generations, and has no regrets."

...

Three days later, the Supreme People's Procuratorate formed a special task force. They flew to Jingzhou City, Handong Province.

Moreover, the inspection method of "four no's and two direct approaches" is adopted.

What are the "Four No's and Two Directs"?

Four No's: No issuing notices, no giving prior notice, no listening to reports, and no need for accompaniment or reception.

Two direct approaches: going directly to the grassroots and going directly to the scene.

The task force was led by Qin Siyuan, Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

Qin Siyuan's rank is that of a ministerial-level leader.

Upon arriving in Jingzhou, Qin Siyuan immediately launched an investigation, leaving no detail overlooked. He led the special task force directly to the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau to review the case files of Chen Hai's bribery case.

The chain of evidence in the case file seemed complete, but Qin Siyuan keenly noticed several unusual details. He frowned and ordered his team to conduct a thorough investigation to uncover the truth.

Qin Siyuan's investigation revealed that Chen Hai lived a simple life and never went out to eat, drink, or go to high-end places.

"Investigate Chen Hai's bank card, his spending records and bank statements for the past two months."

"They also investigate the phone's call records for the last three months."

Qin Siyuan's voice left no room for doubt, and the team members acted swiftly. After a thorough investigation, they indeed discovered multiple anomalies in Chen Hai's bank statements and call records.

The next day, Qin Siyuan led the task force directly to Chen Hai's workplace, the Guangming District Committee and Government, to investigate leads.

Upon arriving at the district government, Qin Siyuan and his team immediately launched a comprehensive investigation. They retrieved Chen Hai's work records, meeting minutes, and even meticulously examined every single document signature. As the investigation deepened, Qin Siyuan discovered that Chen Hai's work routine consisted of only going between three points every day.

Going to work — picking up the kids from school — going home.

Moreover, Chen Hai neither smokes nor drinks. According to his secretary, Chen Hai never attends dinner parties or social gatherings and leads an extremely regular life.

At the same time, Lin Yunfei learned from Liu Can that Qin Siyuan was personally leading a team to conduct an investigation without prior notice.

Lin Yunfei remained expressionless, ignoring Qin Siyuan.
