Chapter 369: The Woman Who Captured Feng Weishan

Tonight's arrest operation lasted just over five hours.

Police suffered no casualties, while three bandits were killed.

One was the driver killed in the car, previously shot dead by Yang Qing's decisive strike. The other two were the two bandit bodyguards just killed by the sniper.

Around two in the morning.

Lu Han, Han Bing, and the two other bandits knocked out by Lin Dongfan were all escorted by Qi Ting back to the Provincial Department for interrogation.

Concerning Lu Han's illegal gang-related and evil conduct.

In fact, whenever the Provincial Department discussed cracking down on crime, someone would name Lu Han, but nothing ever came of it. Any voices of justice that arose were immediately suppressed by authority, the resistance too strong.

This time.

Qi Ting dared to act decisively without greeting Feng Weishan, directly leading the team to encircle and suppress Lu Han, mainly because Lin Dongfan had intervened. With Master Fan backing them, they could ignore Feng Weishan.

As expected.

After dawn, the news of Lu Han's arrest shocked the entire province.

At the meeting, the Political Commissar of Wuzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, Guo Bingyao, was taken away on the spot by Deputy Team Leader Peng Tianhua of the Anti-Corruption Bureau Task Force.

Also arrested at the same time was a deputy mayor of Wuzhou City.

Feng Weishan, uneasy and restless, said nothing at the Standing Committee meeting, quietly listening to Jiang Huantian's instructions to the Provincial Department on this anti-crime operation—eliminate evil completely!

Jiang Huantian emphasized at the meeting: "I hope those involved in the case will voluntarily surrender. Rather than engage in meaningless struggle, it's better to leave yourself some dignity."

It's obvious these words were aimed at Feng Weishan.

Under Lin Dongfan's leadership, the Anti-Corruption Bureau Task Force has arrested so many people today; the reason they haven't yet moved against Feng Weishan is simply because Lin Dongfan's evidence is not yet comprehensive.

But what must come will come sooner or later; it cannot be avoided.

After the meeting dispersed, Feng Weishan returned to his office, listless. He thought to call someone from the Zou family, picked up the landline, then hesitated and put it back.

Now his every move is surely under surveillance by the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

At this critical juncture, contacting the Zou family again.

That would be tantamount to handing evidence to Lin Dongfan.

He hesitated for a while.

Feng Weishan took out his backup phone and called his concubine Bai Xue: "Take the new ID I arranged for you, leave the country immediately, and wait for me abroad."

Bai Xue's new ID bears the name Mo Fei.

For Feng Weishan, who holds real power, obtaining a new identity for himself and Bai Xue is easy; he thought a new identity would make it easier to evade the Anti-Corruption Bureau's surveillance.

He didn't know that Lin Dongfan had long ago assigned people to monitor Bai Xue's every move.

Not to mention changing a name.

Even if she underwent plastic surgery.

She still couldn't escape surveillance.

That afternoon.

Bai Xue, radiating star power, wearing large sunglasses, had just entered Wuzhou Airport when Jian Sining and Tang Xia, who had been waiting there, stepped forward and showed the arrest warrant: "Ms. Bai, please come with us."

"Who's Ms. Bai? You've mistaken the person; my surname is Mo."

Bai Xue calmly flashed her new ID, thinking she could talk her way through.

Jian Sining seized the opportunity to grab her left wrist, pulled out handcuffs, and snapped them onto her wrist: "I've heard that a certain Mr. Feng also changed his name to Ma Ciqian; do you know forging an ID is also illegal?"

"!!!"

Bai Xue was left speechless, surrendered, and her personal belongings were confiscated.

After being placed in the vehicle.

Jian Sining then took Bai Xue's phone from the evidence bag and ordered her: "Now call your boss Feng and say you've boarded the plane successfully."

Secret arrest?

Afraid of startling the snake?

Bai Xue immediately realized that although the Anti-Corruption Bureau had its eye on it, it lacked solid evidence of Feng Weishan's graft and corruption; otherwise there would be no need for this ruse.

"Which law allows you to force me to lie? Please show some restraint."

Bai Xue coldly refused Jian Sining's request.

Having worked with Lin Dongfan on so many major cases, Jian Sining is no longer the nervous little girl she once was; she's seen scenes like this many times.

She calmly gave a faint smile: "This is your chance to earn merit by accepting guilt; if you don't want it, I won't force you. When the court hands down its sentence, I hope you won't regret this little cleverness."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xue's face darkened slightly.

Just as Jian Sining was about to put the phone back into the evidence bag, Bai Xue resignedly compromised: "I never said I wouldn't cooperate; give me the phone."

"Watch your words, don't play tricks with you. You should know that in this world, no one will serve your prison sentence for you. Every word you say now will serve as reference for the court's sentencing."

After emphasizing the seriousness and gravity of the matter, Jian Sining then handed the phone to Bai Xue with relief.

Bai Xue dialed Feng Weishan's phone: "I'm already on the plane, you don't need to worry... uh, okay, I'll wait for you abroad."

After saying just a few words, Bai Xue hung up and handed the phone to Jian Sining.

Bai Xue then firmly told Jian Sining: "I have never been involved in Feng Weishan's affairs."

"The film company you hold shares in has Zou Feiyun as its investor. You haven't contributed a penny, yet you own 49% of the company. Don't you really know that everything you've received is just a favor from Zou Feiyun to Feng Weishan?" Jian Sining hit the nail on the head, pointing straight to the core.

Bai Xue, being an actress, is no exception.

She kept her composure, responding calmly: "I don't know. When Feng Weishan's wife died, he proposed to me. The shares in the film company were his betrothal gift to me. Accepting a gift is only natural. As for where his money and equity came from, that's outside my investigative scope."

"We will investigate these matters thoroughly; you need not rush to explain to me."

After saying that, Jian Sining ordered Tang Xia to drive back to the task force's station.

Feng Weishan is over twenty years older than Bai Xue; Bai Xue gave up being a film superstar, retired from the entertainment industry, and married a man in his fifties—what could she be after?

Surely it's not for Feng Weishan's white sideburns and relaxed muscles.

Now Bai Xue is eager to clear her responsibility.

From this it can also be seen that Bai Xue actually has no feelings for Feng Weishan; it merely confirms the old saying: "Couples are birds of the same forest; when disaster strikes, each flies off on its own."

Having had enough fun and reaped enough gains in the power arena, they still wish to come ashore with clean hands.

How could there be such a good thing in the world?

After returning to the project team's station, Jian Siming immediately went to report to Lin Dongfan. Opening the office door, she saw Lin Dongfan on the phone with Chu Lingxi, saying he would not be home for dinner tonight.

Lin Dongfan hung up and then criticized: "You're becoming more and more undisciplined, entering without knocking."

"I knocked, you didn't hear." Jian Siming reflexively closed the door and then reported: "Bai Xue has already been caught; have you gotten the account books from her company?"

"Wait a bit longer; Sun Zhiqing is only thinking about dividing the Zou family's property. Before the divorce procedures are finished, she won't hand over the account books."

Lin Dongfan merely pointed to the empty tea cup on the table, and Jian Siming promptly understood and picked up the tea cup.

Every time she handles a case together with Lin Dongfan,

Jian Siming always voluntarily took on the secretary's work.

She brought the freshly brewed tea to Lin Dongfan, then turned back to work matters: "Lu Han Yi has been caught, and Secretary Jiang directly reprimanded Feng Weishan at the meeting, leaving Feng Weishan unable to stay put. Without any chance to escape, will Zou Feiyun abandon the mill and kill the donkey? We need to guard against this; the Zou surname will do anything."
