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

Page 70

Hou Liangping's gaze sharpened as he scrutinized Cai Chenggong. "Cai Chenggong, you just said that you wanted to bribe Ouyang Jing, the vice president of Jingzhou City Bank, with 2 million RMB."

Cai Chenggong lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly: "Yes, Monkey. I did indeed give money to Ouyang Jing."

Lin Huahua sat beside him, holding a water-based pen: "Tell me in more detail. When was the money delivered? How was it sent?"

"Bank cards, four bank cards."

"In the name of my mother, Zhang Guihua..."

Hou Liangping was incredibly excited and pressed on, "Cai Chenggong, be careful. You're the one reporting this; there are no steamed buns or monkeys here."

"By the way, Cai Chenggong, why don't you try to get a loan from other banks?"

Cai Chenggong quickly corrected himself: "Yes, that's right. Liangping, in Jingzhou, only Ouyang Jing's city bank and rural credit cooperative were willing to lend me money. I applied for loans from Ouyang Jing four times."

Cai Chenggong recounted: "Later, I used a bridge loan to borrow 50 million yuan at a high interest rate from Shanshui Group for the production of Dafeng Factory. The agreement was to repay the loan in six days, using all the shares of Dafeng Factory as collateral."

"I'm thinking that as long as Ouyang Jing's Jingzhou City Bank can lend us 60 million within six days."

"Then I will be able to repay the bridge loan to Shanshui Group."

Cai Chenggong became very agitated as he said this: "As a result, Ouyang Jing suddenly cut off the loan and canceled our loan eligibility."

"I had no choice but to take out a loan from the rural credit cooperative, which had already agreed to lend money to our Dafeng Factory."

“Ouyang Jing called the head of the rural credit cooperative and asked Secretary Dangzu of the rural credit cooperative to cancel the loan.”

“The workers hate me because they think I colluded with Gao Xiaoqin to deceive them.”

Hou Liangping continued, "What were you doing that night of the January 16 Incident?"

Cai Chenggong's eyes dimmed and his voice was low: "It really has nothing to do with me. I was arrested by loan sharks a long time ago and illegally detained in Dongping City."

Hou Liangping was shocked: "What did you say? You've been illegally imprisoned in Dongping by loan sharks?"

"Was it the Wanchuan Logistics Distribution Center in Dongping City a while ago?" Hou Liangping subconsciously stood up, supporting himself on the table with his hand. His expression was serious.

Cai Chenggong nodded: "That's right, I was illegally detained there."

"If it weren't for Director Lin personally leading his men to rescue me, I might be dead."

Hou Liangping took a deep breath, his brows furrowed: "What was the specific time of the illegal detention? Are there any other witnesses?" Cai Chenggong pondered for a moment: "From August 22nd to October 5th, there were only loan sharks during that period."

Hou Liangping quickly jotted down the key information, his heart pounding with excitement.

. . . . .

That afternoon, Hou Liangping acted recklessly. He took three anti-corruption bureau officials with him and got into the procuratorate's car.

In a large group, they drove to the City Bank of Jingzhou City.

They walked straight into the bank building, where Hou Liangping showed his identification and asked to see Ouyang Jing.

"I am Hou Liangping, Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. This is a summons. I request to see your Vice President, Ouyang Jing."

Hou Liangping was eager to use Ouyang Jing to bring down Li Dakang, a high-ranking official at the vice-ministerial level.

In this way, I can improve my status in the Zhong family and put Zhong Xiaoai in a superior position.

The group of people walked into Ouyang Jing's office in a grand procession.

Ouyang Jing looked up, coldly surveying the crowd, a contemptuous smirk playing on her lips: "Who are you? Do you know who I am?"

"I am Hou Liangping, Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. I am summoning you in accordance with the law because you are suspected of accepting bribes of 2 million RMB."

Hou Liangping showed no fear and produced a summons he had signed. Then, he took out handcuffs and cuffed Ouyang Jing's wrists.

Ouyang Jing's expression changed drastically, but she forced herself to remain calm: "Hou Liangping, how dare you! I am the deputy bank manager, and you do not have a formal arrest warrant."

"I'm not a criminal suspect yet. Take off these handcuffs."

Hou Liangping said expressionlessly, "Let's go. We now have sufficient evidence."

And so, Ouyang Jing was taken away by Hou Liangping in front of everyone, causing quite a stir throughout the bank.

The news was immediately relayed to Wei Dong, the president of the city bank, who called Li Dakang's secretary, Xiao Jin.

"Director Jin, something terrible has happened. President Ouyang was just taken away by Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate."

Secretary Xiao Jin was taken aback, her face changing drastically: "What? Hou Liangping? The director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau?"

"Yes, and they were even handcuffed."

"Okay, President Wei. I'll inform Secretary Li right away."

Xiao Jin hung up the phone and went straight into the office. ... He came up behind Li Dakang and whispered something in his ear.

Li Dakang frowned, and the pen in his hand fell to the table with a "thud," a hint of barely perceptible astonishment flashing in his eyes.

Hou Liangping, in front of everyone, actually arrested his own wife.

Note that they are not divorced yet.

Last night, Li Dakang and Ouyang Jing had a big fight.

Han University gang, Gao Yuliang. You guys are really something.

Li Dakang was immediately enraged, his face turning ashen and extremely ugly.

Li Dakang quickly picked up the phone and dialed Ji Changming, the chief prosecutor of Handong Province: "Comrade Changming, your anti-corruption bureau chief has arrested my wife, Ouyang Jing. What crime did he commit? Is there any solid evidence?"

Upon hearing this, Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming's expression changed drastically, and his heart skipped a beat: "Secretary Dakang, I truly know nothing about this matter."

"Please rest assured, we will investigate in accordance with the law and ensure fairness."

Li Dakang sneered: "Fairness? I think it's malicious. Hou Liangping is Secretary Gao Yuliang's prized student, a graduate of the Department of Political Science and Law at Handong University."

"The Han University gang is simply going too far."

Ji Changming gave a wry smile: "Secretary Li, please don't get agitated. I will personally investigate this matter. If your wife, Ouyang Jing, is innocent and there is no evidence, I will order the Anti-Corruption Bureau to release her."

Li Dakang said coldly, "Fine, Comrade Changming."

. . . . .

In the interrogation room of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate in Handong Province.

Hou Liangping stared sharply at Ouyang Jing: "President Ouyang, please cooperate with the investigation and truthfully explain the issues."

"What's wrong with me?" Ouyang Jing asked without the slightest fear.

“Cai Chenggong confessed that he bribed you with 2 million RMB.”

Ouyang Jing said confidently, "I don't know any Cai Chenggong. Hou Liangping, don't try to induce me to confess if you don't have evidence."

boom!

Hou Liangping slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Ouyang Jing, we've found it. There's a bank card in your bag. It was opened in Zhang Guihua's name, 0.7."

Ouyang Jing said calmly, "This is a bonus from the bank. Every senior executive at the city bank receives one."

Hou Liangping sneered: "Bonus? This card clearly doesn't belong to you. How do you explain that?"

Ouyang Jing said calmly, "Hou Liangping, I advise you not to waste your time. If you're so capable, arrest all the senior executives of the city bank."

Jingle Bell! !

At that moment, Hou Liangping's phone rang.

Ji Changming's tone was icy: "Hou Liangping, you arrested Ouyang Jing without proper procedures. Li Dakang has already called me."

“Chief Prosecutor Ji, we have Cai Chenggong’s confession. He bribed us with 2 million yuan,” Hou Liangping said urgently.

Ji Changming: "What's the evidence? Cai Chenggong's confession is a witness testimony."

"Where is the physical evidence?"

Hou Liangping looked troubled: "We're still looking for physical evidence. Give me some time."

Ji Changming's voice suddenly rose: "Nonsense! No organization, no discipline!"

"Hou Liangping, do you know who Li Dakang is? He's the Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee."

"I'm only giving you 48 hours. If no physical evidence is found within those 48 hours, you must release him according to procedure."

73. When Zhong Xiaoai visited her at the hospital, Zhao Lan told her to leave.

73. When Zhong Xiaoai visited her at the hospital, Zhao Lan told her to leave.

Hou Liangping's face turned ashen upon hearing Ji Changming's threat.

This is outrageous! Old Ji is making a mountain out of a molehill. He's showing absolutely no respect for me, the son-in-law of the Zhong family.

"Old Ji, give me some time."

"I am Secretary Sha of the Provincial Party Committee, personally handpicked by him." Hou Liangping came to his senses and spoke in a consultative tone.

Ji Changming was so angry he laughed: "Hou Liangping, your current position is the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate."

“I am your immediate supervisor. If you are not competent, you can choose to be transferred back to the capital.”

“You’ve worked in the Anti-Corruption Bureau for so many years. You couldn’t possibly be unaware of the importance of evidence.”

"Now that Ouyang Jing has been arrested by you, Li Dakang knows about it."

Ji Changming began to question, "You've angered Li Dakang, a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. Have you thought about the consequences?"

Hou Liangping took a deep breath, his eyes resolute: "I understand the consequences, but it is my duty, and I, Hou Liangping, will not back down."

"I will bear Li Dakang's anger. Please believe me, I will speak with evidence and give Handong an explanation."

Ji Changming's tone softened: "Liangping, the situation in Handong 19 is very complicated."

"This involves too many people and hides many evil spirits."

"At the scene, Chen Hai was dismissed from his post and then appointed by the Provincial Party Committee as the head of Guangming District."

"I can only help you withstand this pressure for 48 hours."

Hou Liangping said with a serious expression, "Okay, Lao Ji."

Hou Liangping then hung up the phone.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, Zhong Xiaoai, wearing a floral dress and holding a bouquet of carnations, arrived at the Handong Provincial People's Hospital.
