Chapter 2595: Confession

A layer of fine sweat broke out on Huang Youmin's forehead. He clenched his fists, his eyes shifting. Then, his throat rolled, and he licked his dry lips with his tongue.

Although he wasn't present when Sun Baocun inspected the Woolen Mill, he had been paying close attention. So, he didn't see with his own eyes how Sun Baocun was tricked by Zhou Andong, but he knew the details very well.

In addition, he was in charge of the criminal police team. That day, regarding the Hu Gang rape case, Liu Lijuan, the deputy factory director of the Woolen Mill, reported the case in front of Sun Baocun. Criminal police team leader Gong Xuebing took the team and left, and he received the news immediately after.

It was just that he wanted to stop it, but it was already too late, and he didn't have the guts to stop Gong Xuebing from going out to police. Because Sun Baocun was at the scene, and there were quite a few people and reporters gathered, which was what he feared the most.

At that moment, he was extremely panicked and uneasy. You know, Huang Junyong was the head of the security department of the Woolen Mill, and he was the deputy director of the branch bureau. The two of them often had work handovers. Plus, they both had the surname Huang, and they were birds of a feather in some aspects, so their relationship had always been good.

Naturally, Huang Junyong knew a little bit about his dirty business. Especially the matter of him acting as a middleman to buy and sell the quotas of the Woolen Mill employees—Huang Junyong was his partner. Precisely because of this, once Huang Junyong was taken away for investigation, his good days would be over.

Just when he was panicked and uneasy, he thought of Hu Dajun. So he dialed Hu Dajun's office phone without hesitation and quickly told Hu Dajun that the Hu Gang rape case had been reopened.

At that time, Hu Dajun was also closely watching the dynamics of the Woolen Mill, but his information was much more lagging. Naturally, he didn't know about the news of the Hu Gang rape case being reopened as fast as Huang Junyong, who was the leader in charge of the criminal police team.

However, Hu Dajun wasn't worried at all. Even when he knew that Huang Junyong was very likely to be taken away for investigation, he smiled slightly and told Huang Youmin very calmly.

Even if Huang Junyong was really taken away for investigation, it didn't matter. Although Secretary Sun was tricked by Zhou Andong, this only showed that Secretary Sun was negligent, which allowed Zhou Andong to take advantage of the opportunity and luckily win a game.

Because they had the Yin family standing behind them, Zhou Andong's luck couldn't be that good forever. Furthermore, Huang Yongjun wasn't a fool; he naturally knew what should be said and what shouldn't be said.

Hearing these words from Hu Dajun, Huang Youmin felt like he had eaten a reassurance pill

Sun Baocun and Hu Dajun have the Yin family backing them. Even if you, Zhou Andong, are a big shot, can you really fight against the Yin family?

The stone hanging in Huang Youmin's heart finally dropped, and Hu Gang had been hidden away by Hu Dajun, so the criminal police squad came up empty-handed when they went to make the arrest.

Subsequently, Huang Youmin, as the supervising leader, took extra interest in Hu Gang's case. He kept urging Gong Xuebing to step up the investigation and strictly ordered him to report the progress in detail every single day.

Gong Xuebing didn't care for Huang Youmin as a supervisor, but he had no choice. As the old saying goes, a higher official can crush you, not to mention that Huang Youmin was his direct supervisor.

Since his direct supervisor was concerned about the case and demanded daily reports, he couldn't ignore it. So, for the past few nights, he had been calling Huang Youmin to report every clue and piece of intelligence he had gathered.

However, no matter how hard Gong Xuebing and his team tried, they couldn't find a single trace of Hu Gang, not even a clue, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth overnight.

"Director Huang!" After letting Huang Youmin digest that for a moment, He Zhanhai spoke up again: "Let me remind you one more time, you should know about the fact that over two thousand people at the Woolen Mill are drawing salaries without working, right?"

Huang Youmin's body trembled slightly; although it wasn't very obvious, He Zhanhai still caught it.

"Do you need me to continue?" He Zhanhai sighed softly: "Actually, you know very well in your heart what your ending will be. So, the only person who can help you now is not me, nor could it be anyone else—it can only be yourself."

What else was there for Huang Youmin not to understand? It must be that bastard Huang Junyong who confessed everything. But he still held a glimmer of hope, because there were quite a few grasshoppers tied to the same rope as him.

The news of him being taken away for investigation must have spread, and they would definitely find a way to get him out. After all, he knew exactly how much dirt they had on their hands.

Watching the colors constantly changing on Huang Youmin's face, He Zhanhai, a veteran of the Discipline Inspection Commission, immediately guessed what Huang Youmin was thinking. Thus, he sighed softly again.

"Huang Youmin!"

This time, He Zhanhai didn't address him as Director Huang, but called him by his name directly, giving Huang Youmin the illusion that this Division Chief He had lost his patience.

"Huang Yongjun has dragged you down with him. Do you think he will leave the others sitting on the boat while he struggles in the water?"

Huang Youmin's expression changed again, his brain spinning rapidly. After all, he had been a policeman for half his life, and he had his own judgment on whether He Zhanhai's words were true or false.

Finally, he concluded that He Zhanhai was not lying. That dog-eat-dog Huang Junyong, in order to gain a chance for merit, had even betrayed him; it was impossible for him to spare anyone else. After all, the more he confessed, the greater the merit, and the fewer years he would be sentenced.

After thinking it through, Huang Youmin's mental defenses collapsed instantly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I'll confess."

…………………………

Qinghe Branch!

Just before the end of the workday, two people from the Municipal Bureau's Discipline Inspection and Supervision Division knocked on Liu Yun's office door.

Liu Yun didn't feel surprised and said with a smile, "I was just waiting for you."

A somewhat chubby middle-aged man smiled slightly: "We need to see Zhou Andong's driver and bodyguard."

"They are in the detention room. I'll take you there." Liu Yun stood up and led the way.

At this moment, Wang Wentian and the other two were leaning against the wall, sitting on the floor smoking. Huang Youmin had been fairly polite to them; their belongings hadn't been confiscated, and their three meals a day were decent.

Shen Weiming, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked up at the ceiling and said with a smile, "I've lived this long, and this is my first time staying in the bureau. And with food and drink, it actually feels pretty good."

Lian Kai took a puff of his cigarette and said listlessly, "Then you can stay here forever."

"Damn!" Shen Weiming cursed: "You little brat, you're actually cursing me."

Lian Kai looked at Shen Weiming sideways, snorted, and said, "Didn't you just say it yourself? There's food and drink here, and it feels pretty good?"

Shen Weiming opened his mouth to say something, but heard heavy footsteps coming from outside. He tilted his head to listen carefully, then immediately made a judgment: "Three people, one of them is quite fat."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door to the detention room was flung open with a clatter, and Branch Director Liu Yun appeared at the doorway with two middle-aged men—one fat and one tall.
