Chapter 224 Take over Dafeng Factory!
In this thrilling anti-corruption storm in Handong officialdom, every link is like a taut bowstring that may shoot out the fate-determining arrow at any time.
Gao Gang, an experienced interrogator with eyes as sharp as a hawk, is now in the interrogation room with slightly dim lighting.
The surrounding walls exude a depressing atmosphere, as if silently telling of the countless psychological struggles that have taken place here.
Gao Gang sat steadily on the chair, his posture was upright, like a green pine or cypress, giving people a sense of unshakable majesty.
The bank clerk opposite was in a completely different state. His body kept twisting in his chair like an ant being roasted on fire. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead like beads that had broken off the string, wetting the collar of his originally neat shirt.
His eyes were wandering, sometimes he would secretly glance at Gao Gang, sometimes he would look at the ground in panic, his lips were trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but fear was strangling his throat.
"You should be aware of your current situation. Confess and you will be treated leniently. Resist and you will be treated severely. This is your only way out. Don't have any fluke mentality."
Gao Gang's voice was deep and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the bank clerk's fragile psychological defenses. He leaned forward slightly, staring at the other person with a sharp gaze, as if his eyes could penetrate the other person's soul and see through all the hidden secrets.
The bank clerk swallowed hard, and a gurgling sound came out of his throat. He pretended to be calm and said, "I... I really don't know anything. I just followed the normal procedures of the bank and did not do anything illegal."
Although his voice was a little trembling, he still tried to raise the volume and tried to defend himself.
Gao Gang sneered, and his laughter was full of sarcasm and disdain.
He calmly picked up a thick stack of documents from the table beside him and slammed it heavily on the table between the two of them.
With a "rustle", the documents scattered and several photos fell in front of the bank clerk.
"Look at what this is? These are some of the clues we have. Do you think you can still hide it?"
Gao Gang's tone remained calm, but it carried an unquestionable sense of oppression.
The bank clerk's eyes inadvertently fell on those photos, which clearly showed scenes of him meeting with Cai Chenggong in some secret places, as well as some screenshots of bank transfer records.
His face turned pale instantly, as if all the blood had been drained from him, and his body involuntarily shrank back.
His hand unconsciously grasped the corner of his clothes, and his finger joints turned white from the force.
Under Gao Gang's piercing gaze, the bank clerks' psychological defenses gradually collapsed.
He was struggling fiercely in his heart. On the one hand, he was afraid of legal sanctions, and on the other hand, he was wary of the forces behind him.
But in the end, under Gao Gang's relentless interrogation, he slumped in his chair like a deflated ball and whispered, "I said, it was Cai Chenggong who bribed, and Ouyang Qing who accepted the bribe.
Every time, it was Ouyang Qing who instructed us to operate those illegal fund flows.
In order to obtain loans, Cai Chenggong would send a large amount of bribes to Ouyang Qing, and Ouyang Qing used his power to make us bypass the normal review procedures and lend the funds to him. "
Gao Gang was delighted, but his face remained serious.
He knew very well that he had to remain calm at this moment and not miss any details.
"Please tell me the specific amount and operation process in detail."
He picked up a pen and prepared to take notes.
The bank clerk began to narrate tremblingly: "The amount of money Cai Chenggong bribed each time ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions. He would put the money in a black bag and then hand it to Ouyang Qing at some high-end hotels or her secret residence.
When operating the loan, Ouyang Qing would directly give us instructions, asking us to forge some documents, such as false financial statements, guarantee contracts, etc., and then issue the loan to Cai Chenggong.
Most of these loans were used by Cai Chenggong for his loss-making businesses or personal extravagance, and he had no ability to repay them.
Gao Gang quickly organized the relevant evidence. His movements were agile and skillful, and he carefully classified and bound each document.
Afterwards, he handed it over to the court as soon as possible. After receiving the evidence, the court immediately initiated relevant procedures and contacted the department represented by Lu Yike and her mother.
At this time, in the noisy office hall of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, Liang Qunfeng's son Liang Tianyi learned the news that Cai Chenggong was about to be arrested. He was sitting leisurely in a chair, crossing his legs and flipping through a fashion magazine.
When he heard the news, his face instantly turned gloomy, his brows furrowed, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
He put down the magazine without hesitation, stood up, hurried to an empty corner, took out his mobile phone and called Cai Chenggong.
"Cai Chenggong, you better find a way to escape. The people from the procuratorate and the court will come to arrest you soon."
Liang Tianyi said anxiously, his voice was not loud but full of nervousness.
As he spoke, he looked around vigilantly, afraid of being heard by others.
Cai Chenggong was in his office, staring at a pile of messy documents.
His hair was disheveled and his eyes were empty, as if he had sensed that his end was approaching.
When he heard the phone ring and saw that it was Liang Tianyi's call, a glimmer of hope surged in his heart. But when he heard Liang Tianyi's words, he was struck by lightning and almost collapsed on the chair.
With trembling hands he picked up a glass of water on the table and tried to take a sip to calm himself, but most of the water spilled on his clothes.
"Mr. Liang, where should I run?" His voice was tearful and full of helplessness.
"First, find a remote place to hide, such as some abandoned factories in the suburbs or relatives' homes in the countryside. I will find a way to help you get through."
Liang Tianyi gave a suggestion. He paced back and forth on the other end of the phone, thinking about countermeasures.
Cai Chenggong packed some things in a panic. His hands were so flustered that he casually stuffed documents, mobile phone chargers and other items into a backpack.
He ran out of the office tumbling and crawling, almost falling down at the door.
His figure in the corridor looked particularly embarrassed, which attracted the attention of many employees. But at this moment, he could no longer care about these things. He ran wildly on the street like a headless fly.
His breathing was rapid, his heartbeat sounded like thunder in his ears, and his heart was filled with fear and despair.
He knew that if he was caught, he would face a long prison sentence and everything he had before would be gone. He thought of his family, friends, and those glorious days, and tears blurred his eyes.
However, he never expected that Qi Tongwei had already anticipated that he would escape and had set up many checkpoints on the route he might take to escape.
When Cai Chenggong ran to an intersection out of breath, he suddenly saw a group of policemen standing in front of him. The policemen were dressed in neat uniforms, holding batons and shields, and looking forward with firm eyes.
The leader was Qi Tongwei, who stood tall in front of the police car like an insurmountable mountain. He had a stern expression on his face and his eyes revealed his zero tolerance for crime.
Qi Tongwei's eyes were cold and he shouted loudly: "Cai Chenggong, you have no way to escape, just surrender." His voice was transmitted through the loudspeaker, echoing in the empty streets, with an unquestionable majesty.
Cai Chenggong's eyes widened with horror. He took a few steps back involuntarily, almost bumping into the lamp post behind him. "Director Qi, please let me go. I was forced to do this." His voice trembled with a hint of pleading.
"You are forced to do so? You have committed bribery and disrupted the financial order, and you still want to evade legal sanctions?" Qi Tongwei scolded. He took a few steps forward, getting closer to Cai Chenggong, and stared at Cai Chenggong closely, as if he wanted to see through him.
Cai Chenggong still wanted to struggle: "I have my own reasons. Someone above forced me to do this. I'm just a small person and can only follow their arrangements." There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, trying to shift the blame to others.
"No matter who forces you, breaking the law is breaking the law, and today is your end." Qi Tongwei said firmly. His tone did not waver at all, and he knew very well that the justice of the law should not be violated.
Cai Chenggong's legs kept shaking. He knew that the situation was hopeless, but he still looked at Qi Tongwei unwillingly: "Deputy Mayor Qi, what good will it do you? You will offend a lot of people."
He tried to use threatening words to make Qi Tongwei back off.
Qi Tongwei sneered: "I only uphold the justice of the law and will not be intimidated by threats from people like you. Everyone is equal before the law, and no one can escape punishment."
Just when Cai Chenggong was hesitating whether to continue resisting, Lu Yike and a team of people arrived at the scene.
She got out of the car with a heroic look and a firm and powerful step. She looked at Cai Chenggong's embarrassed appearance and said, "Cai Chenggong, your crime has been exposed. Don't resist in vain. Come with us and accept the judgment of the law." Her eyes revealed her persistent pursuit of justice.
When Cai Chenggong saw Lu Yike, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered.
Finally, he slowly raised his hands and was handcuffed by the police.
In the complex and fierce chess game in Handong officialdom, Cai Chenggong's capture was undoubtedly the return of a key chess piece, which brought an important turning point in the affairs of Dafeng Factory.
Gao Gang was filled with relief. He knew very well that resolving the issue of Cai Chenggong meant that a solid step had been taken towards solving the problem of Dafeng Factory. Now all that was left to completely solve it was communication and negotiation with the Municipal Party Committee to make them change their minds and abandon the drastic demolition plan, and instead retain the Dafeng Factory, a place that was full of controversy but carried the hopes and interests of countless people.
However, Gao Gang was also full of doubts. The decision of the municipal party committee seemed to have been deeply rooted. How could he make them change their minds and abandon the established demolition plan?
This was undoubtedly a difficult problem, hanging over his mind like a fog.
Qi Tongwei was confident, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile, as if everything was under his control.
He spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "Do you think this place was demolished because they really want to develop the economy? No! This place is just a nail that they use to hinder me."
There was a hint of sharpness and insight in Qi Tongwei's eyes. He was well aware of the hidden conflicts of interest and power games behind the officialdom.
Now, after arduous efforts, they have united the strength of the procuratorate and the court. This combined force of justice is like a Great Wall of Steel, indestructible.
In the battle against corrupt forces, they successfully cleared up the numerous corruption problems within Jingzhou Bank, which was like cutting off one of the enemy's arms, leaving those lawless elements who attempted to manipulate the situation through financial means nowhere to hide.
Qi Tongwei continued, "The municipal party committee originally looked at Zhao Lichun's face, but now they have to look at our face."
His words were full of confidence and arrogance, which reflected his certainty in his own strength and the force of justice.
Gao Gang couldn't suppress his excitement after hearing this. For a long time, they had been struggling in the darkness of officialdom, and now they finally saw the dawn of victory. How could they not be excited?
However, Qi Tongwei did not indulge in this short-lived joy. His mind was like a sharp falcon, and he had already seen through the subtlety and complexity of the situation.
"But at the moment, our strength is not enough, we still need a force to supplement us!"
Qi Tongwei's eyes revealed deep thought. He knew very well that in the turbulent ocean of officialdom, in order to completely stabilize the situation, he must have sufficiently strong power as support.
He turned to look at Gao Gang and said in a firm tone: "Go find all the information you collected before, and find all the old money people who are connected to Cai Chenggong."
Qi Tongwei's eyes flashed with determination and strategy. He knew very well that these old money people were maneuvering in the gray area between officialdom and business. Their power was intertwined like a huge and secretive spider web.
But as long as they can take down this force, it will be like cutting off another important economic link behind Zhao Lichun.
At that time, no matter how arrogant and domineering Zhao Lichun was, he did not dare to interfere in the affairs of Guangming District.
Gao Gang's heart trembled, and he immediately understood Qi Tongwei's strategic intention. This was a life-and-death struggle between justice and corruption, power and checks and balances, and every step had to be taken with extreme caution.
He acted quickly, turned and walked towards the document room. His determined back seemed to carry the hope and future of the entire Handong officialdom.
In the archive room, Gao Gang carefully looked through the mountains of documents. Each document was like a piece of dusty history, recording the intricate transactions and collusion between Cai Chenggong and those old money people.
His eyes are focused and sharp, not missing any details, as if he is an explorer searching for treasures in the long river of history.
soon.
He locked onto one person.
Ding Yizhen!
As long as Ding Yizhen can be dealt with, these old money people will naturally join Qi Tongwei's side.
