There was a powerful force driving a series of events in Pingchuan Province.
This was Guo Guoyuan's opinion. The series of events that happened recently made Guo Guoyuan feel like he was losing control. As the big boss of Pingchuan Province, everything should be under his control. However, he was no longer in control of the events that happened in the past few days.
How could he control it?
These officials under him had been exposing scandals one after another, and all of them were things that the people abhorred. For example, a certain person had dozens of properties under his name, a certain person had more than ten mistresses, a certain person kept underage girls … Once these news broke out, it was impossible to stop them. What's more, someone was deliberately pushing this matter forward.
The wind foreshadowed a coming storm.
This was what Guo Guoyuan was thinking at the moment. It wasn't a good thing for his direct subordinates to be caught one after another. According to the normal way of doing things, Guo Guoyuan should consider the transfer, because if this matter continued, he, the big boss, was afraid that he would be a mere figurehead, and the final bomb might explode on top of his head.
Guo Guoyuan was truly a direct descendant of the Guo Faction. If he used his connections with the Guo family, he could still be transferred to another place. However, if that were to happen, his political future would be rather bleak because he might not be able to become a 'feudal lord' even if he were to be transferred elsewhere.
In addition, Guo Guoyuan knew that the Guo family was facing unprecedented pressure recently. The Guo Faction had already fallen out with some of the major clans in the Imperial Capital. This meant that there might be an unprecedented battle between the two parties. In this battle, many people would lose their official positions and become prisoners.
However, Guo Guoyuan didn't expect that it would be his turn so soon.
When he saw the materials that suddenly appeared on the table in his office, Guo Guoyuan realized how much smarter he was compared to the other officials. Just the fact that he 'sold his official position' was enough to kick Guo Guoyuan out of his position. Moreover, Guo Guoyuan's previous crimes had been dug out one by one. For example, he had done some dirty work on the national livelihood projects. Although he had cleverly gotten professional accountants to do the accounting, the problem had still been exposed. Many secrets were listed in the materials. The things that he thought were known to the heavens, the earth, you, and he had been exposed.
Looking at the materials in front of him, Guo Guoyuan sneered. So what if he had the materials? At his level, no one could touch an official like him. The reason why the other party handed these materials to him should be a kind of threat. For example, they wanted to use these materials to achieve some political or economic benefits.
Coincidentally, there was also a note with a phone number written on it.
"As expected." Guo Guoyuan sneered inwardly and dialed the other party's phone number.
"Who are you?" Guo Guoyuan asked in a deep voice.
The other party didn't answer Guo Guoyuan's question but said to him, "You should confess to the Central Disciplinary Committee. You're done for."
"Do you think I'm a child?" Guo Guoyuan sneered, "There are many people who have threatened me in this life, but the fact that I am still sitting in this position is the best proof! I don't care who you are. A small fry like you can't touch me. If you know what's good for you, you might be able to obtain some benefits. Otherwise, you and the people around you will fall into a nightmare. I promise! "
As expected of an official, the standard of his speech was high. Even the threatening language was so implicit and powerful.
"Do you want the people around me to fall into a nightmare?" The person on the phone said, "You probably didn't notice that there is a yellow paper in the leather bag. Look carefully at the content on it."
Guo Guoyuan found that there was a separate yellow paper in the leather bag. Seeing the content, Guo Guoyuan was immediately dumbfounded!
On this yellow paper, several overseas bank accounts of Guo Guoyuan were recorded, including the information of his daughter who was studying in Australia and an illegitimate child who was bleeding in the UK. In addition, Guo Guoyuan's real estate at home and abroad, including the assets he deliberately put in other people's accounts.
The things on this yellow paper were even clearer than Guo Guoyuan himself, because Guo Guoyuan himself couldn't remember some of the assets. At this moment, he even had a feeling of enlightenment, "Oh, it turns out that after being an official for so many years, I already have so many assets."
However, there was another sigh in Guo Guoyuan's heart. It turned out that all of this was just paper wealth. All he had was a piece of yellow paper. When this piece of yellow paper was announced to the world, wealth, fame, and position would all disappear along with this piece of yellow paper.
The one who was about to fall into a nightmare was Guo Guoyuan, and Guo Guoyuan was obviously aware of this. His tone began to soften, "What exactly do you want?"
"Take the initiative to confess."
"Isn't that equivalent to sending me to my death?" Guo Guoyuan said in a deep voice.
"Don't you deserve to die?" The other party sneered, "I asked you to confess because I was giving you a chance. If you are not willing to take this opportunity, then you will be completely defeated. "
"Lose my reputation?" Guo Guoyuan sneered, "Are you forcing me?"
"The Qingming Festival is coming, and everyone wants the world to be clear. Although it is rare to see the world being clear, after cleaning up some garbage, the air will always be better for a while. Don't you think so? "
"Do you think you are a savior? You are just a pawn in someone else's hand. Since you are a pawn, it is best for you to understand your current situation. Beware of the consequences of killing the cunning hare! On the contrary, if you cooperate with me, the benefits you can obtain will definitely be much more than you can imagine. You have also seen how much wealth there is on that yellow paper. Are you not tempted at all? On the contrary, if you force me to surrender, even if you succeed, what substantial benefits will you obtain? Will your superior give you a commendation certificate, or will you be promoted? Do you think it is interesting? What do you mean by the world being clear? When do you think the world is truly clear? If it is, then there will not be so many wronged souls waiting for others to redress their grievances during the Qingming Festival. "
"As expected of a politician, you really have a silver tongue. Unfortunately, I am not interested in what you are talking about. Houses, hell money? Oh, and power. You people never get tired of these things, but I am not interested at all. Since I am not interested in these things, what makes you think you can bribe me? Alright, go and surrender. Although the world will not be truly clear, Pingchuan Province should be clear for a while. "
