Chapter 40 The Scapegoat

"Vice District Chief Xiao, I'm not bragging, but although I'm just a deputy town head's driver, I have many connections in Jiangcheng. As long as I go out, I can definitely help you clear your name and return to your position as vice district chief."

Chen Feng said with a serious expression.

"Chen Feng, if I can return to my position as vice district chief, I will definitely repay you."

Xiao Qiang replied excitedly.

"Vice District Chief Xiao, actually, I'm not saving you because I need repayment. I just feel that Deputy Town Head Qin is very interested in overseeing the economy, and you are very experienced in it. After you get out, you can become friends with Deputy Town Head Qin, and you can both improve.

If you and Deputy Town Head Qin can find a way to get me out of here, I will definitely share all the methods I know for overseeing the economy with Deputy Town Head Qin. But the problem is, how to get out of here is a big issue. To be honest, I've inquired. Basically, no political figure who has entered here has ever left."

Xiao Qiang asked tentatively.

"It's all about human effort! In Jiangcheng, there are indeed no examples of political figures leaving the detention center. However, in the provincial capital, the capital city, there have been several cases of people leaving the detention center. To put it bluntly, it all depends on whether you find the right people outside. If you don't find the right people, no matter whether you've done anything wrong, you'll have to stay here. If you find the right people, even if you've truly done wrong, there are a thousand ways to get an excuse."

Chen Feng comforted Xiao Qiang.

"That's the logic, but can your and Deputy Town Head Qin's connections in Jiangcheng really handle Vice District Chief Li's connections in Jiangcheng?"

Xiao Qiang asked softly.

"Talking about these things is useless, only doing them is useful. First, in about an hour, I will be released from here. You wait for me here for a few days, and I guarantee I'll get you out."

Chen Feng said calmly.

Whether it was Qin Yan or Cheng Lu, they would definitely help him get out, he was confident about that.

"Chen Feng, the situation is not looking good."

Xiao Qiang suddenly remembered something and said to Chen Feng with a serious expression.

"What's not good?"

"I just asked the guard a little, and I found out your case is not as simple as hitting someone. I heard from the guard that the person you hit is now paralyzed and suffering severe injuries, which will definitely lead to a prison sentence. Since you're going to be sentenced, you definitely can't get out of here."

Xiao Qiang said dejectedly.

Chen Feng was his only hope of getting out of here. No matter how slim this hope was, it was still hope.

However, all signs indicated that it would be difficult for Chen Feng to get out.

If Chen Feng didn't get out, his hope of getting out would be completely gone.

"Really?"

Chen Feng was a little flustered, but he quickly recovered.

It seemed that Deputy Town Head Xiao was determined to trap him this time.

But it didn't matter, if Qin Yan couldn't get him out, Cheng Lu definitely could.

Nowadays, as long as you find the right people, and you are framed, you are one hundred percent sure to get out of the detention center.

Things turned out exactly as Chen Feng had imagined. An hour later, the guard came to call Chen Feng, saying he could leave.

This announcement left Xiao Qiang dumbfounded.

Good heavens, he had paralyzed someone, and he could still get out.

How powerful must this young man's connections be outside?

"Chen Feng, your connections outside are so powerful."

Xiao Qiang said happily.

"This is just one aspect. The key is that, like you, I was calculated against and framed. If I hadn't been framed and had genuinely provoked someone and caused them to become a vegetable, no matter how strong my connections were outside, I would have had to stay. So, don't worry, you were framed by Vice District Chief Li, and I will definitely get you out after I leave."

Chen Feng responded seriously.

Xiao Qiang kept saying thank you.

He originally thought his career in politics was over, but he didn't expect to meet an extraordinary driver who instantly opened up his second life.

Chen Feng walked to the entrance of the detention center, where Cheng Lu and Qin Yan were waiting.

Chen Feng was immediately put in a difficult position.

Both women were there, who should he greet first? Who should he thank first?

As Chen Feng hesitated, Qin Yan strode forward.

"Chen Feng, I really owe you this time. Otherwise, I would have been the one going in."

Qin Yan said gratefully.

"Deputy Town Head Qin, please don't say that. I am your driver, and this is what I should do."

Chen Feng replied humbly.

"By the way, this time, we should all thank Cheng Lu properly. If it weren't for Cheng Lu, it would have been really difficult for me to get you out so quickly. That scoundrel Xiao Ming was too ruthless. To keep you inside, he actually used a trick to paralyze that woman's boyfriend. Fortunately, Cheng Lu has extensive connections in Jiangcheng and directly invoked self-defense, withdrawing all penalties."

Qin Yan explained excitedly.

"Withdrawing all penalties?"

Chen Feng instantly became excited.

He had been worried that entering the detention center this time would leave a record, which would be detrimental to his future in politics.

Who knew that before he even started looking for someone to clear his record, Qin Yan directly delivered good news: he was acting in self-defense and bore no legal responsibility.

"Yes, all penalties have been withdrawn, and you don't have to worry about a record stain anymore."

Qin Yan was also happy.

To be honest, it would be a great pity for such an outstanding young man like Chen Feng to have his political future ruined by a record stain.

From another perspective, Chen Feng's loyalty was absolutely commendable. Knowing that he might leave a record stain, he still acted to help her.

"Miss Cheng, thank you."

Chen Feng said sincerely to Cheng Lu.

"Chen Feng, actually, you don't need to thank me. To be honest, if you had really beaten someone into a vegetable for no reason, in the current climate of cracking down on crime, even with my connections, I wouldn't have been able to get you out."

Cheng Lu explained a little.

"That's the logic, but this time, it was Deputy Town Head Xiao's long-planned scheme to trap me. If there were no connections operating outside, even if I was acting in self-defense, even if I was wronged, I would still go to prison."

Chen Feng looked at Cheng Lu gratefully.

After chatting for a while longer, the three of them returned to Mingshan Town together.

In the afternoon, Chen Feng went to Qin Yan's office to see her.

"Chen Feng, is there something you want to say?"

Qin Yan asked Chen Feng as she looked at documents.

"Deputy Town Head Qin, I have two things I'd like to ask for your help with."

Chen Feng said seriously.

"Speak."

"It's like this, Deputy Town Head Qin. I met a vice district chief in the Jiangcheng detention center who was wrongly accused. I hope you can use your connections to get that vice district chief out. Also, regarding Deputy Town Head Xiao, I think we must find a way to get him out of Mingshan Town. Otherwise, if he's constantly plotting against me, one day I'll be trapped in prison by him."

Chen Feng said word by word.

"Chen Feng, the matter with Deputy Town Head Xiao is easy to handle. Honestly, even if you hadn't said anything, I would have been handling it. I'm not stupid, how could I tolerate Deputy Town Head Xiao constantly plotting against me? However, the vice district chief you mentioned, his situation is very complicated. It not only involves his power struggle with another Vice District Chief Li, but it also involves a major case in Jiangcheng recently. It's obvious that someone wants him to be a scapegoat and take the blame, so it's very difficult for him to get away."

Qin Yan explained with a troubled expression.
