Chapter 2495: Sun Baocun, Who Was Set Up

Sun Baocun only felt a deep sense of powerlessness surging into his heart like a tide, as if it were about to drown him. He cursed those idiots Shao Yan and the others in his heart. There was no need to think; there must have been a mole among those idiots, otherwise, even if Zhou Andong had made arrangements, it would have been absolutely impossible to be so seamless.

Moreover, that such a sure-kill situation could be counter-designed by the opponent meant that the 200,000 yuan of illicit money in Gu Bing's office was probably already gone. Even if they could find this money, if they couldn't produce complete evidence of Gu Bing's bribery, it would be impossible to completely pin Gu Bing down.

After all, Gu Bing was framed by these factory leaders led by Shao Yan first. Now, just relying on some people's reports and the 200,000 yuan in cash found in his office to conclude that he took bribes was clearly unconvincing.

If he insisted on investigating Gu Bing's bribery issue deeply, it would definitely arouse dissatisfaction from above. After all, Zhou Andong also had people behind him. In this way, the result would be that the higher-ups would take over the case directly.

By then, everything would be laid out in the open. Not only would his dream of becoming a full-time Deputy Secretary vanish into thin air, but even his current position would probably be difficult to keep.

Moreover, with Zhou Andong's ability, if he casually obtained a withdrawal certificate from the bank, they would have no way to deal with it. Of course, if they could confirm that Gu Bing lived a dissolute life and engaged in chaotic relationships, then no one would question his bribery behavior anymore, and it could naturally be pinned on him in a logical way.

Sun Baocun had thoughts of retreating. Persisting would not only fail to achieve his goal but would instead drag him into a quagmire he couldn't get out of. He had originally thought it was foolproof, but who could have expected it to develop to this point?

He was truly unwilling, but he had no other way. Knowing that something couldn't be done but insisting on doing it—that wasn't just stupid, it was having a death wish. Therefore, things had reached this point; he had to withdraw.

Just as Sun Baocun was racking his brains on how to withdraw, suddenly, he heard Hong Tao roar: "I report! Gu Bing accepted 200,000 yuan in bribes, and the illicit money is in the mezzanine of the drawer in his office!"

This guy's idea was very simple: as long as they could confirm Gu Bing took 200,000 yuan in bribes, there would be a lot of room for maneuver regarding the frame-up of Gu Bing. Moreover, he wasn't the mastermind behind framing Gu Bing.

Therefore, after figuring this out, his body, which had been drained of strength, was suddenly filled with power again. He lunged up to report Gu Bing. Then he even smiled triumphantly at Gu Bing, the provocation very obvious.

"Damn it!" Sun Baocun's head felt like it had been smashed by a heavy hammer, emitting a buzzing sound. His heart was like a volcano about to erupt, with angry magma rolling in his chest.

"This idiot!" Sun Baocun could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. His complexion instantly turned iron-blue, as if it could drip water. He turned around abruptly, staring fixedly at Hong Tao, the murderous intent in his eyes so thick it was suffocating.

Sun Baocun's hands were tightly clenched into fists. If he had a gun at this moment, he would absolutely pull the trigger without hesitation and blow the head of this idiot, whose brain was full of dung, to pieces.

Why couldn't he grow a brain? Sun Baocun's hands, clutching into fists, were shaking. He stared fixedly at Hong Tao's eyes, as if he wanted to see his incredibly stupid soul through them.

Zhou Andong had just taught you a lesson; haven't you learned your lesson yet? That so-called 200,000 yuan of illicit money—it would be better not to search for it. Once you step into Gu Bing's office, it's equivalent to walking into a trap.

With Zhou Andong's insidious and cunning nature, not only would you be unable to convict Gu Bing, but you would instead put yourselves in an even more passive situation and aggravate your crime of framing a leader.

Shao Yan and the others' eyes lit up at first, as if they had seen hope in despair. But when they saw Sun Baocun's iron-blue face and tightly clenched fists, they understood the key point after a little thought.

Just as Shao Yan was about to open his mouth to scold Hong Tao, trying to gloss over this matter, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange smile on Zhou Andong's face. This smile made Shao Yan's heart tighten, and an ominous premonition instantly surged into his heart.

"Secretary Sun!" Zhou Andong didn't give Shao Yan and the others any chance to speak at all. He looked at Sun Baocun and said with a very serious tone: "Since Hong Tao, this Party Committee Office Director, reports that the Secretary took bribes, and it's a huge sum of 200,000 yuan, we absolutely cannot turn a blind eye to this.

You are the Discipline Inspection Secretary, shouldering the heavy responsibility of maintaining Party discipline and national law, and being fair and clean. You must thoroughly investigate this matter and give everyone a fair and just result. Otherwise, not only will it chill the hearts of the 40,000 workers at the Woolen Mill, but your reputation and impartiality will also be seriously questioned."

Zhou Andong's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Sun Baocun's vital point. Sun Baocun was immediately caught in a dilemma. If he didn't investigate Gu Bing's bribery case, it would be equivalent to admitting that he had a guilty conscience. But if he went, he would very likely fall into another trap dug by Zhou Andong.

Sun Baocun was set up by Zhou Andong, but did he have a choice now? It could be said for certain that he didn't. Because he was the Discipline Inspection Secretary, and in such an occasion, in front of so many people, someone reported it on the spot—this was not a small matter.

Moreover, there were not only more than 100 cadres from the Woolen Mill present, but also two or three hundred onlookers. If he turned a blind eye to the report, his reputation would definitely suffer an extremely serious blow.

Sun Baocun took a deep breath, trying hard to stabilize his angry emotions. Then, he managed to squeeze a smile onto his face: "Since Comrade Hong Tao has raised the report, then this matter must be investigated.

We absolutely cannot wrong any good person, but we must never let any bad person go. We must prevent black sheep from continuing to occupy leadership positions, and also avoid letting true 'thousand-mile horses' lose their motivation and opportunities because of such matters."

"You accompany Secretary Gu and follow behind." Zhou Andong turned his head with a serious face and gave instructions to Liu Lijuan and Dai Weimin. His words were short and powerful, but the meaning was obvious. That was to let Liu Lijuan and Dai Weimin keep an eye on Gu Bing and not let this guy run away.

The corner of Gu Bing's mouth twitched involuntarily. He really wanted to give Zhou Andong a kick from behind. What's the matter? You've entered the role so deeply while acting that you can't get out? There are so many people on the scene, and with many people come many mouths. If you do this, who knows what kind of ghost story I'll be turned into in the end?

"Secretary Sun!" Zhou Andong didn't care whether his brother-in-law would be 'hurt' or not. He smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Please, let's go to Gu Bing's office to conduct the search."

Wang Jianmin and his secretary also followed the crowd and walked out. From the moment the movie was shown, a smile that couldn't be hidden had always been on Wang Jianmin's face. Zhou Andong is Zhou Andong; his previous worries were completely superfluous.

Moreover, he was also very certain that there must be another trap waiting for Sun Baocun to jump into at the factory headquarters. It's just that he didn't know how big the trap Zhou Andong had dug was, and whether it could bury Sun Baocun.

And at this very moment, mixed in the crowd, Elder Huang and Elder Song had exceptionally complicated moods. Things had developed to this point, and their shocked hearts had never been able to return to calm.

Who was Sun Baocun? If he didn't have enough wisdom and means, he would have been eaten to the bone by others long ago; how could he have climbed to his current position?

However, Sun Baocun, this dignified Discipline Inspection Secretary, was actually calculated to death by Zhou Andong. How could they not be shocked?

However, they were no longer worried about Zhou Andong, and at the same time, they were full of curiosity about the development of the following events. ===== CHAPTER 2496 =====
