Chapter 2172: Independent Commission Against Corruption’s Case Handling
A vintage car sped along the city streets.
This city is a first-tier city in the Frost Dragon Kingdom, and one of the first cities to implement the rules of the Wraith Dragon Kingdom.
There are roads, zebra crossings, and traffic lights here.
Although horse-drawn carriages still exist on the roads, these carriages are also required to abide by these traffic rules.
At this moment, this vintage car, speeding through the night, completely disregarded all traffic rules.
Even when they see a red light on the other side, they speed out.
boom!
A loud bang.
A truck crossing the intersection rammed into the vintage car, flipping it over.
The car's windows were shattered and the doors were twisted.
A middle-aged man with a face covered in blood crawled out of his car.
He felt as if his body was about to fall apart.
But he still managed to stand up in a disheveled state thanks to his tenacious will, and darted into the alley next door.
He wants to escape!
If he is caught, given the strict laws of the Frost Dragon Kingdom, he will surely die.
Tomorrow, his body will be displayed in the city.
He has already transferred some of his wealth out of the country.
As long as he can get out alive, he can live a carefree life abroad.
I come from a commoner background.
I spent so much money, groveled before people, and finally climbed to this position.
What's wrong with wanting to make some money?
Those people had no relatives left, and their pensions went unclaimed.
What's wrong with me taking a little?
"This is what I deserve!" the middle-aged man muttered to himself, walking while leaning against the wall.
But a ray of light shone into the darkness and onto him.
The middle-aged man was startled and immediately prepared to turn around and run away.
However, his left leg had already been severely injured in a previous car accident.
Those who were chasing him followed the trail of blood on the ground.
"Grab him," the officer in charge said coldly.
Several police officers immediately rushed over and pinned the middle-aged man, who was trying to escape and looked like a dog, to the ground.
Let me go!
What right do you have to arrest me!
I am an official, and I have connections.
You can't arrest me!
The middle-aged man, who was being restrained, was shouting.
"I want to see who exactly is above you."
"Can I protect you?!" the police officer in front of him said coldly.
This is someone the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) ordered to be arrested.
What is the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC)?
They are a group of people with an average age of less than 25.
They had no noble background, were not of royal blood, and were all from the lower classes.
But they have the biggest backer.
That is His Majesty the King of Phoenix.
Prior to this, many nobles, officials, and even members of the royal family had been arrested by the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
No one can escape the judgment of the law if the evidence is conclusive.
Some people might ask, has anyone targeted the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC)?
It existed at the beginning.
For example, refusing to cooperate with the Independent Commission Against Corruption and resisting law enforcement.
Regarding these...
The King of Phoenix issued a direct order that all departments and individuals must unconditionally assist the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Anyone who fails to cooperate will be considered to be disobeying the Frost Dragon Kingdom.
At best, a warning or detention will suffice.
In severe cases, they may be transferred from their posts, dismissed from their positions, stripped of their official status, or even imprisoned for obstructing law enforcement.
There are also some extreme cases of retaliation, threats, and even intimidation against the staff of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) and their families.
Once such a situation is discovered.
The Frost Dragon Royal Special Forces would approach these people with weapons.
