Official excuse: I was sent to work at the grassroots level for training, and Hou Liangping arrested

Lin Yunfei shook the door and opened the Land Rover door.

Zhao Lan got in and fastened her seatbelt.

. . . . . .

The couple had just returned home, to their luxury villa in Dihao Garden, Jingzhou City.

Then I saw an unexpected woman, Zhao Xiaohui.

Zhao Xiaohui, dressed in an expensive women's suit, stood at their door, holding a bottle of Moutai. "Sister Lan, it's been a long time. I apologize for bothering you today."

As the saying goes, "You can't hit someone who's smiling at you."

Zhao Lan hesitated for a moment, then looked Zhao Xiaohui up and down: "Come in, let's talk inside."

The three people walked into the villa one after the other.

Zhao Xiaohui walked into the villa with a smile, placed the Moutai liquor in her hand on the coffee table in the living room, and exuded a sense of composure and confidence.

She glanced around at the villa's luxurious decor, then her gaze fell on Lin Yunfei and Zhao Lan, and she said, "Secretary Lin, Sister Lan, the main reason I've come here is to discuss the donation with you in person."

Zhao Lan frowned slightly. Although she was somewhat puzzled by Zhao Xiaohui's sudden visit and huge donation, she maintained basic politeness and said, "Ms. Zhao, your donation of 10 billion is too large. We... need to be cautious. Could you please tell us your thoughts and purpose first?"

Lin Yunfei nodded, sat on the sofa, and looked calmly at Zhao Xiaohui, waiting for her explanation.

Zhao Xiaohui smiled gently, with an air of composure: "Secretary Lin, Sister Lan, my ancestral home is Handong. My father lived in Handong for thirty years and always wanted to make some contributions to his hometown."

"This 10 billion yuan is my heartfelt contribution to Jingzhou City and an investment in its future development. I hope this money can be used effectively to bring substantial improvements to people's livelihoods, education, and healthcare in Jingzhou."

Zhao Xiaohui paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, I know this is not a small amount of money, so I would like to discuss with you in detail the specific use plan for the donation and the subsequent supervision mechanism to ensure that every penny can achieve the greatest effect."

Zhao Lan and Lin Yunfei exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of approval in each other's eyes. Although they still had reservations about Zhao Xiaohui's motives, at least for now, her attitude and sincerity were commendable.

Lin Yunfei nodded and said, "Ms. Zhao, your idea is excellent. Our government also attaches great importance to this donation and will ensure its proper use and transparent oversight. However, specific details still require further communication and negotiation."

Zhao Xiaohui smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, I believe that under Secretary Lin's leadership, the Jingzhou Municipal Government will be able to properly handle this donation."

"Sister Lan, I only have one condition." Zhao Xiaohui leaned forward.

After Xiao Cai finished his appetizer talk, it was time for the main course.

Lin Yunfei's expression changed instantly, his eyes sharpening as he looked at Zhao Xiaohui: "Speak, Miss Zhao. What is your true purpose?"

Zhao Lan stared intently at Zhao Xiaohui with a serious expression.

"Secretary Lin, Sister Lan."

"I hope you will step in and deal with Sha Ruijin." Zhao Xiaohui's words were sure to shock.

Zhao Xiaohui said in a deep voice, "I will also donate 10 billion yuan to the Jingzhou Municipal Government. The total will be 20 billion yuan, which can be considered as a political achievement for Secretary Lin."

Lin Yunfei and Zhao Lan couldn't help but exchange a glance.

A complex look flashed in Lin Yunfei's eyes as he slowly said, "Miss Zhao, your conditions are quite impressive. After all, Secretary Sha was sent down from the Central Committee to carry out the anti-corruption campaign."

Zhao Lan frowned, her tone tinged with displeasure: "Ms. Zhao, your donation of 20 billion is indeed very attractive, but we cannot do things that violate our principles just because of money."

..... .... ...

Zhao Xiaohui seemed to have anticipated their reaction. She calmly said, "Secretary Lin, Sister Lan, please don't rush to refuse. I'm not saying this without reason. Sha Ruijin's decisions have already caused dissatisfaction among some people. Moreover, this 20 billion yuan donation will be a great boost to Secretary Lin's career."

"With the support of this funding, you can achieve more tangible results in Jingzhou. At that time, no one will be able to ignore your achievements."

Lin Yunfei gently shook his head: "Miss Zhao, political achievements are not built on money, but on genuinely serving the people. We really can't accept your proposal."

Zhao Xiaohui smiled slightly: "Secretary Lin, please don't jump to conclusions so quickly. You can reconsider. This 20 billion yuan is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the development of Jingzhou. Moreover, I guarantee that as long as you agree to my conditions, I will cooperate with the Jingzhou Municipal Government on more projects in the future."

Zhao Lan looked at Zhao Xiaohui with a scrutinizing gaze: "Ms. Zhao, we see your sincerity, but we really cannot agree to your conditions. We still hope that the donation can be used purely for the construction and development of Jingzhou, and not for any other purpose."

Zhao Xiaohui was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, since Secretary Lin and Sister Lan are so determined, I won't force you. However, I hope you can reconsider the significance of these 20 billion for Jingzhou. I look forward to the day you change your minds." With that, Zhao Xiaohui stood up, picked up the Moutai liquor on the coffee table, and turned to leave Villa No. 7.

162. Liang Qunfeng was sentenced to eighteen years, and Cai Chenggong was sentenced to death.

162. Liang Qunfeng was sentenced to eighteen years, and Cai Chenggong was sentenced to death.

"Heh heh, this Zhao Xiaohui. What a joke!" Lin Yunfei sneered, took out a special-supply cigarette and lit it up.

"Two hundred billion? You think I don't have money? You're kidding."

"Flying Tiger Group has tens of billions of US dollars in liquid funds and a market value of trillions."

"If we can successfully go public, we can raise more than 50 billion yuan." Lin Yunfei crossed his legs and looked at Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan frowned, reached out and snatched the special-supply cigarette: "Put out the cigarette. Don't kiss me if you're smoking."

Lin Yunfei gave a wry smile and nodded, saying, "Okay, wife. I'll quit smoking, I'll quit smoking. I won't smoke anymore."

Zhao Lan nodded slightly, a satisfied expression on her face: "Do people of our status lack money?"

"That means Hou Liangping, the Marquis of Changxin, will seize on this point."

"Hou Liangping is simply a brainless idiot."

"Who are we? If we want to make money legally and legitimately, '543' is far too easy."

Lin Yunfei nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, we just need to make a phone call to find out in advance which subway line in Beijing is which and what the specific stations are."

"Buy a house near the subway station in advance."

"Buy low, wait for the subway to be completed, and sell high. You can easily make legal money."

Zhao Lan made a startling statement: "I even sold the specific information about subway stations to real estate developers."

"Ten million per item, easy peasy."

Jingle Bell! !

At that moment, Zhang Yuan, the president of the High Court, made a phone call.

"Yunfei, the facts are sufficient and the chain of evidence is complete. The trial for Cai Chenggong's organized crime case can proceed."

"We found 82.65 million yuan of unexplained funds in Liang Tian's account."

"According to the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, the evidence and confessions transferred."

"Okay, Uncle Zhang. You've worked hard. Since it's organized crime, the death penalty is warranted."

"If Liang Qunfeng was the protector, then he should be sentenced to eighteen years."

Lin Yunfei remained expressionless, holding his phone in his hand.

He gently put his phone back in his pocket, a cold glint in his eyes. "Liang Qunfeng, did you think you could rest easy with Qi Tongwei around? Now, pay the price for your arrogance."

Zhao Lan leaned closer, her expression serious and concerned, and asked, "Yunfei, was this matter handled cleanly? Will there be any future problems?"

Lin Yunfei patted her hand and said confidently, "Don't worry, the chain of evidence is complete and the facts are sufficient. They can't turn the tables. If Hou Liangping dares to make a fuss about this, he'll be asking for trouble."

After saying that, he stood up, walked to the window, looked at the city view outside, and pondered his next plan. "Flying Tiger Group still needs to go through the judicial auction as soon as possible to acquire Wanchuan Mining's copper and nickel mine."

"Hey, hurry up. Urge the Dongping City Court to hurry up."

"Sue, auction off."

"Flying Tigers are determined to get this copper-nickel mine," Lin Yunfei told the person in charge after making a phone call.

The person in charge looked serious: "Boss, is it possible that the auction won't be able to proceed?"

"What do you mean? Has there been a setback?"

"Yes, it's Tianlong Group in Dongping City. They have clearly expressed their willingness to take over Wanchuan Mining and its debts."

Lin Yunfei snorted coldly: "Damn it, it's Tianlong Group again."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yunfei went to Zhao Lan's side and said softly, "Lanlan, give the order to have the National Security Bureau arrest Chen Shenglong, the chairman of Tianlong Group."

"Okay, I'll call Division Two."

Zhao Lan said, "Cheng Zijian has been arrested, but he still hasn't confessed."

Lin Yunfei: "It doesn't matter. As long as we have Wang Yu's testimony, that's enough."

Zhao Lan picked up her phone, about to dial, but suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Yunfei. "Yunfei, isn't it too rash to arrest someone directly like this? What if it causes unnecessary trouble?"

Lin Yunfei's eyes narrowed for a moment, then relaxed again. He gently put his arm around Zhao Lan's shoulder. "Lanlan, don't worry too much. We have enough reasons and evidence, and with the National Security Bureau taking action, they can't cause any trouble. That Chen Shenglong dared to try and steal from our Flying Tiger Group, so he'll have to pay the price."

Zhao Lan nodded slightly, but still hesitated. "But Cheng Zijian hasn't given us any instructions yet. Won't that affect our plans?"

Lin Yunfei sneered, "Now, what we need to do is to take over the copper-nickel mine as soon as possible, and not let Tianlong Group interfere."

After saying that, Lin Yunfei picked up his phone again and dialed the number of the Second Division of the National Security Bureau. "It's me, Lin Yunfei. Yes, take immediate action against Chen Shenglong, the chairman of Tianlong Group. He is suspected of major economic crimes."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yunfei's eyes revealed an undeniable determination: "Lanlan, what our Flying Tiger Group wants is absolute control. Anyone who dares to stand in our way must be eliminated."

. . . . .

The following day, the High Court of Handong Province held a hearing.

Zhang Yuan, as the presiding judge, personally presided over the court hearing.

"The prisoners are Cai Chenggong, Liang Qunfeng, Liang Tian, ​​Zheng Xipo, and Ma Wenming."

"Liang Qunfeng is guilty of harboring a criminal, possessing a huge amount of property of unknown origin, and accepting bribes. He shall be punished for all of these crimes."

"Cai Chenggong was sentenced to death for leading a mafia-style organization."

"Zheng Xipo, a key member of a criminal gang... once incited his subordinates to violently resist demolition. He was sentenced to death."

Zhang Yuan made a startling announcement in court.

An uproar erupted in the courtroom, with people in the gallery whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

Liang Qunfeng seemed to have all his strength drained away in an instant, collapsing limply in the defendant's seat, his eyes vacant, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's all over."

Liang Tian and Zheng Xipo were also terrified by the sudden verdict, their faces turning pale and their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Liang Tian's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down. He looked at Zhang Yuan in horror, his lips trembling but unable to utter a word.

Lin Yunfei sat in the front row of the audience, a smug smirk playing on his lips. He turned to Zhao Lan and said softly, "Lanlan, you see? This is what happens when you go against us."

Zhao Lan frowned slightly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and nodded gently without saying a word.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan tapped the gavel and said loudly, "Silence! The reasons for the verdict will now be read." The courtroom gradually quieted down, and everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the basis behind the verdict.

"Liang Qunfeng, as a public official, abused his position to provide protection for Cai Chenggong's organized crime syndicate, accepting huge bribes, the amount of which was particularly large and the circumstances particularly serious. At the same time, the source of his huge amount of property is unknown, and he cannot explain its legitimate origin."
