Chapter 54
Li Dakang's Heart Skipped a Beat

Qi Tong Wei took a sip of red wine and then slowly said, “After the relocation fees from the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee were distributed, there are only about 500 workers left at Dafeng Factory. There are very few workers who are determined to resist. When the time is right, we can find a way to control them for a day, or even half a day, or find a way to cut off their communication devices. Then we can find an opportunity to cut off the power lines, water pipes, and so on around Dafeng Factory, pretending to be carrying out major repairs, temporarily persuading the workers to return home, and then the factory will be empty, right?”

Ding Yi Zhen laughed, “It’s a good idea. By then, the factory will have been successfully demolished, and everything will be settled!”

Gao Xiao Qin asked, “What if there are some stubborn individuals? Pay them off, or…?”

Qi Tong Wei swirled the red wine in his glass and said calmly, “You figure it out. As long as it doesn’t affect the overall situation, the rest is inconsequential!”

Ding Yi Zhen laughed heartily, “Qi Bureau is right. The major issues have been resolved, the rest won’t have any impact.”

Gao Xiao Qin realized she was overthinking it. She raised her glass, smiled and said, “I was wrong. I’ll drink to that!”

Chen Qing Quan flattered her, “How can we let Gao General drink to that? It’s our fault for not doing our job well. We should all drink to that. Come, come, let’s all raise our glasses…!”

“Clink, clink, clink!”

With all the problems solved, everyone happily drank with them.

That night, Ding Yi Zhen and Chen Qing Quan stayed at Shanshui Villa, and in the evening, they didn’t forget to diligently study foreign languages.

If we were to vote for the most hardworking cadres, they would definitely win!

But Sun Lian Cheng, who was truly working hard, didn’t know that a conspiracy was coming for him.

Though this conspiracy didn’t pose any real fatal danger, it wouldn’t be easy to overcome.

However, since things hadn’t happened yet, they had to prepare some materials, otherwise, how could they launch an investigation against a deputy-bureau-level district head?

During this time, Qi Tong Wei, using his authority as the director, obtained the time and route for the escort of the Beijing police.

Then he arranged for some real creditors to report to the Xiangyang Branch.

The head of the branch was also part of their Han Da clique, and of course he followed Qi Tong Wei’s orders, using the excuse of a huge amount of money involved, to detain Cai Cheng Gong.

Zhao Dong Lai was oblivious to this, but even when he personally intervened, the branch head presented Qi Bureau’s instructions and refused to immediately release the man.

Qi Tong Wei had arranged for real creditors, and Cai Cheng Gong owed them a total of over 100 million yuan.

Because the amount was so significant, even Zhao Dong Lai didn’t dare to say that the city bureau’s case was more important.

However, the Guangming Feng project needed to be resolved as soon as possible. Zhao Dong Lai also had to give Li Da Kang an explanation, so the two sides were stuck at the branch.

Finally, they reached a compromise. Cai Cheng Gong continued to be detained at the branch, and Zhao Dong Lai sent people to the branch to interrogate him.

However, how could he have known that after Cai Cheng Gong fell into the hands of Qi Tong Wei and his men, because he had various handles on him, Cai Cheng Gong dared not confess truthfully and dared not make false accusations.

Only in the matter of the Dafeng Factory relocation fees did he say that he had used the money to repay his debts because he was in debt.

Zhao Dong Lai held this interrogation record and the compiled materials from all aspects, feeling that something was missing.

But he had no choice but to report it!

“Secretary Li, according to our investigation and interrogation, the information we got from Cai Cheng Gong is that he embezzled company funds, leading to the inability of the Dafeng Factory workers to be relocated, and finally causing the Guangming Feng project to be stalled.”

This report made Li Da Kang furious. Because of one person’s problem, a project with an investment of over 200 billion yuan was almost shelved. His anger was understandable.

“Humph, absurd! This Cai Cheng Gong is unforgivable! Have the procuratorate bring charges against him as soon as possible and let him spend the rest of his life in prison!”

“Secretary Li, this…”

“What? What’s the matter?”

Zhao Dong Lai hesitated, then thought for a moment and said, “Secretary Li, according to the current information, this Cai Cheng Gong, many years ago, was short of working capital and applied for a loan from Jingzhou City Bank. However, Dafeng Factory’s situation continued to deteriorate, and in the most recent application, Jingzhou City Bank did not approve his loan request. The person in charge of the review was Deputy Bank Manager Ou Yang Jing. So he turned to some loan sharks… ”

“Loan sharks?” Li Da Kang was a bit surprised.

“Yes, the kind of loans with compound interest, the kind that you can’t repay with a slight setback. According to current information, Cai Cheng Gong might have borrowed a lot of money from loan sharks, and some of it might be related to Jingzhou City Bank… ”

Zhao Dong Lai dared not say it directly, he could only probe cautiously.

Sure enough, Li Da Kang’s expression changed.

Zhao Dong Lai didn’t directly say it was related to Li Da Kang’s wife, Ou Yang Jing, but Li Da Kang couldn’t possibly not notice it.

Li Da Kang was panicked. After barely calming himself down, he asked, “Is there conclusive evidence?”

“Not yet!”

This wasn’t something Zhao Dong Lai was making up. The city bureau didn’t have enough evidence.

At present, they only had some suspicions based on the interrogation, but this single suspicion was enough to make them vigilant.

Li Da Kang was somewhat troubled, he waved his hand and said, “I know about this, you go back first!”

“Yes, Secretary Li!”

Zhao Dong Lai thought he had given a very clear reminder, so he didn’t say anything more.

Li Da Kang started to hesitate.

Although his marriage with his wife Ou Yang Jing had become a name-only marriage for many years, they were only nominally husband and wife.

But the most terrifying thing about many things was getting into the nitty-gritty. What if it really had an impact later?

Moreover, all these years, Ou Yang Jing had been using the title of Li Da Kang’s wife, so could she really be able to clear her name?

Therefore, Li Da Kang was troubled, and he was also hesitant about whether to quickly end this marriage.

But life is full of uncertainties. He already had a lot of work to do every day. It wasn’t something that could be resolved overnight.

Furthermore, Ou Yang Jing didn’t agree to a divorce, and then it was delayed for a while.

Until later, many things happened…

Sun Lian Cheng didn’t know this, but he could guess a little bit.

He didn’t have much news from the city bureau, but after learning that Cai Cheng Gong was arrested, he knew that many things would likely erupt sooner rather than later.

But this matter was still in a stage of hidden undercurrents, and it was not something Sun Lian Cheng could predict when it would actually break out.

So he could only work diligently and low-key, lying flat and drawing lots.

Last week, he got a bad luck talisman, and this week he only got a few thumbtacks. Sun Lian Cheng thought to himself, how unlucky.

While he was working in a sullen mood, Zheng Xi Po actually came to the district government.

When the secretary, Cui Hao, came in to report, he was a bit puzzled, wondering what happened again.

However, he still invited him in. After all, this was a very useful tool man.
