At this moment, the police officers didn't care about Hou Liangping's identity or background anymore, catching the wanted criminal was the priority!
Hou Liangping was pushed aside, and in a state of utter confusion, he saw Cai Chenggong being handcuffed by the police.
“Monkey, help me! You have to save me!”
“Don't move, stay still!”
Hou Liangping's eyes widened as he watched Cai Chenggong being handcuffed, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.
“Comrades, what's going on here? I'm from the Anti-Corruption Bureau, why are you arresting people in my house?”
The leading police officer, seeing that Cai Chenggong was already cuffed, turned around and smiled at him.
“You are Comrade Hou Liangping, right? We are duty officers from the nearby police station. First, we want to ask, is this man called Cai Chenggong? And did he come from Handong Province?”
“Yes, he's my childhood friend, a former classmate who came to visit me specifically.”
The police officer said, “Comrade Hou Liangping, according to our system, Cai Chenggong is wanted for embezzlement and fleeing, a huge amount of money, and Jingzhou City in Handong Province has issued a warrant for his arrest...”
“What?!”
Hou Liangping was startled and pointed at Cai Chenggong, asking, “He, he's really wanted?”
The police officer smiled and said, “Comrade Hou Liangping, you specialize in anti-corruption and anti-graft, you might not have paid much attention to criminal cases. But you can check our internal system, we are not making things up.”
Hou Liangping knew that if the police came to his door to arrest someone, they must have evidence.
At this point, he couldn't say anything more.
“Alright, we've caught the person. We apologize for the inconvenience, we'll be leaving now!”
The group of officers escorted Cai Chenggong away, leaving only Cai Chenggong shouting all the way, “Monkey, save me, save me…”
At this moment, Hou Liangping felt both ashamed and angry. He had arrested so many people, but he never thought that someone would be arrested from his own home.
Although this person was not closely related to him, the news would spread tomorrow, and his reputation would be tarnished.
This was the reason for his anger!
But after thinking about it carefully, he needed to find out what was going on. He couldn't just lose face like this.
Upon closer inspection, he found that there was already a warrant for Cai Chenggong's arrest in the internal system.
This discovery made him even more embarrassed and angry.
A wanted criminal had come to his house seeking help, how could he explain this?
And he had subconsciously told the police that Cai Chenggong was his childhood friend and classmate who came to visit him specifically…
Well, now he had some explaining to do!
Actually, Hou Liangping couldn't be blamed for this situation. He hadn't seen Cai Chenggong for many years.
He only knew that his childhood friend was in business, but how could he possibly know the details?
When the other party suddenly appeared, he had to entertain them, at least make a good impression on the surface!
Unfortunately, Cai Chenggong's situation was too sudden, he didn't have time to find out more before things happened.
After Cai Chenggong was arrested, Beijing contacted the Handong Provincial Department and Jingzhou City Bureau, and they negotiated about sending Cai Chenggong back to Jingzhou.
Zhao Donglai breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the person had been caught, giving them a glimmer of hope.
But when Qi Tongwei got the news, he became restless.
If Cai Chenggong was sent to Jingzhou City Bureau, Zhao Donglai would have control over him, and there was no guarantee that he wouldn't spill the beans!
However, he didn't know that even though Cai Chenggong hadn't said anything yet, Zhao Donglai had already found some clues.
With a sense of worry, he reported to Li Dakang, “Secretary Li, something doesn't seem right!”
“What's wrong? Be more specific!”
“Secretary Li, according to our investigation, this Cai Chenggong seems to owe a lot of loanshark debts, conservatively estimated at over 100 million!”
“Hmm?”
Li Dakang was moved and immediately asked, “Could this affect the Guangming Peak project?”
Zhao Donglai hesitated for a moment, then resolutely replied, “Based on the current evidence, Cai Chenggong is insolvent. Moreover, from the bank statements, we can see that Shanshui Group did pay 35 million yuan, but it was transferred away by Minsheng Bank.”
“Was that the relocation fee for the Dafeng Factory?”
“It should be!”
Li Dakang was furious and slammed his fist on the table, “So Cai Chenggong owed a lot of loanshark debts, which led to the loss of the Dafeng Factory relocation fee. Eventually, the Dafeng Factory workers were dissatisfied and obstructed the demolition work, delaying the Guangming Peak project…”
Zhao Donglai nodded, “It seems that's the case. So this matter is quite troublesome!”
Li Dakang thought for a moment and let out a heavy sigh.
“Yes! In this case, the Dafeng Factory relocation issue must be resolved, otherwise, even if we sentence Cai Chenggong, it's useless!”
Zhao Donglai kept silent, he was in law enforcement, not in charge of the project.
Li Dakang knew about this matter, so he waved his hand and said, “Alright, I understand. You can go back now!”
“Yes, Secretary Li!”
While Sun Liancheng was still clueless, Li Dakang had already gathered his team to discuss the issue.
It didn't require much effort, as each department in the city committee had its own experts.
They only needed to analyze the facts from various perspectives to understand the current difficulties and solutions.
Therefore, the next day, Li Dakang immediately convened a meeting for relevant parties to discuss the solution.
Currently, Ding Yizhen had not run away after the incident and was the general commander of the Guangming Peak project, so he was naturally invited to the meeting. Sun Liancheng, the deputy commander, was also notified.
However, the notification didn't specify the situation, so Sun Liancheng thought it was just about urging the Guangming Peak project and didn't pay much attention to it.
It wasn't until the meeting started that Sun Liancheng realized things had changed significantly!
As he entered the meeting room, Sun Liancheng saw Ding Yizhen, wearing a brand-name suit, sitting there.
This guy had never been known for being low-key, he always did things in a high-profile way.
He happened to be eloquent, smooth-talking, and had good communication skills. He was also competent, making him seem like a talented person!
Speaking of which, Sun Liancheng had more money than him, and he was able to use it openly.
However, despite this, Sun Liancheng had never worn branded clothing or expensive watches over the years.
His clothes and shoes were custom-made by hand, without any brand names, only focusing on comfort.
His watch was bought by his wife, costing only about 100,000 yuan, which wasn't considered expensive for someone like him.
In comparison, Ding Yizhen looked more like a corrupt official.
Unfortunately, he had someone protecting him...
