Chapter 831: Framed and Set Up!

Li Na arrived at the Interrogation Room of the County Public Security Bureau.

Wang Kang sat opposite Li Na, his expression extremely stern.

He slammed a stack of documents down in front of Li Na.

"Explain yourself!"

Li Na flipped through those documents with a calm expression and retorted, "County Magistrate Wang, please be clear about what you need me to explain!"

Wang Kang said in a deep voice, "Hongling Group has illegally opened 25 mine shafts on Julong Mountain. Do you want to deny it?"

Li Na gave a bitter smile, "There are so many illegal mines on Julong Mountain; what evidence is there to prove that these shafts were opened by Hongling Group?"

Wang Kang slapped the table in anger: "Li Na, do not be stubborn. I suggest you confess quickly and strive for leniency."

An innocent look appeared in Li Na's eyes: "If you want me to confess, you must let me know where I went wrong. What can these photos prove?"

Wang Kang gave a cold snort: "I see you will not shed tears until you see the coffin. Li Na, it seems you do not know your current situation. Last night, someone spread rumors on the internet, slandering the Government for hiring social elements to attack and beat villagers. The Municipal Party Committee leadership attaches great importance to this and has demanded a thorough investigation and severe punishment."

"I am a legitimate, upright businessperson who has always earned money honestly. On what grounds can you prove these matters have anything to do with me?"

From Wang Kang's attitude, Li Na could feel the pressure exerted by the Municipal Party Committee.

Wang Kang took out a voice recorder and switched it on.

Soon, a conversation came from the voice recorder.

"Boss Li, what do you need us to do?"

"At ten-twenty tonight, enter the village and hit anyone you see. Also, warn the villagers not to go to the mining area on Julong Mountain to cause trouble."

"Rest assured, it is not a difficult task."

"You must handle these matters cleanly. After you finish, leave Yanzhou immediately. This is the commission we are paying."

"Boss Li, we know the rules of the underworld; we guarantee it will be handled very cleanly."

Wang Kang turned off the voice recorder and looked at Li Na, whose face was full of shock.

"How about that? We caught a straggler, and he has already confessed, saying he was acting under your instructions. Furthermore, we found the voice recorder on him."

Li Na realized that she had been framed.

"The recording is fake; I never said those things."

Wang Kang looked at the emotionally volatile Li Na, a cold look appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He took a contract out of a file folder.

"Take a look at what this is."

Li Na took it and looked, immediately showing a look of shock.

She never expected that the contract she signed with Hasan would actually be obtained by Wang Kang.

"County Magistrate Wang, I did indeed sign this contract, but you can take a look; the cooperation project is coal mining and sales. We have cooperation with many companies every year; there are too many such contracts. What can this prove?"

"This Malaysian man, Hasan, has been very active in Zhangping County recently. On the surface, he is doing coal procurement business, but in reality, the business he has been doing recently involves Fluorite Mine procurement.

This contract is a coal mining and sales agreement on the surface, but in reality, it is a Fluorite Mine mining and sales agreement.

We discovered that Hasan was smuggling Fluorite Mine and intended to arrest him, but he was well-informed and escaped a step ahead.

However, we found this contract at his residence."

Witness testimony, physical evidence, and motive for the crime were all present.

Li Na fell into a state of absolute passivity.

She could be certain that she had been set up.

From the day she met Liang Shiyu, she had already stepped into a meticulously laid "heavenly trap."

As for the phone call Liang Shiyu made to her in the middle of the dinner.

That was a lure!

Liang Shiyu accurately grasped her mindset of wanting to find a new project to make a comeback.

Subsequently, he conspired with Hasan.

Letting her walk step by step into this huge trap.

What was Liang Shiyu's true purpose?

Making money using the Fluorite Mine was not the goal he truly wanted to achieve.

From the very beginning, his target was aimed directly at Hongling Group.

He wanted to completely crush Hongling Group!

In this way, the market in Zhangping County would be left with only Guohong Group as the sole dominant force.

Once Hongling Group went bankrupt.

Guohong Group could then take advantage of the situation to swallow up all the businesses under Hongling Group!

Thinking of this, Li Na felt a chill all over her body, her eyes full of coldness.

"If you are determined to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. I refuse to answer any of your questions; I want to see my Lawyer."

Wang Kang shook his head in disappointment, his tone softening slightly: "I suggest you be honest and stop making futile struggles."

Li Na was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath: "I want to see Zhang Lin."

Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "Give me a reason."

Li Na said coldly: "If I cannot see Zhang Lin, I will not say a single word."

Wang Kang stroked his chin: "I will communicate with County Magistrate Zhang. Whether he sees you or not depends on his willingness."

Li Na, however, said confidently: "He will see me."

……

Zhang Lin sat inside the office.

The landline suddenly rang.

He took a sip of tea, spat out the tea leaves, and then slowly reached out to pick up the phone.

"County Magistrate Wang, is there something you need?"

Wang Kang's voice came through the phone: "Li Na from Hongling Group is asking to see you."

Zhang Lin frowned: "Why does she want to see me? I am not familiar with her."

Wang Kang sighed helplessly: "There are some situations that she will only disclose once she sees you."

Zhang Lin stroked his chin, a cold look appearing at the corners of his mouth: "Understood, I will head over in a moment."

Half an hour later.

Li Na met with Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin's expression was extremely cold.

"Boss Li, speak. Why must you see me?"

From Zhang Lin's tone, Li Na heard a deliberate sense of distance.

"County Magistrate Zhang, I need your help right now. You are the Executive Deputy County Magistrate, and your words carry weight before the leadership. In this case, Hongling Group has been wronged; I was framed by a scheme set up by Liang Shiyu."

Zhang Lin waved his hand and slammed his palm heavily onto the desk: "What is being investigated right now is your affair; do not drag unrelated people into this. Liang Shiyu of Guohong Group is someone I am very familiar with, and he is a respectable businessman. Since you can barely save yourself now, do not spout nonsense and try to drag others down with you."

Seeing that this was Zhang Lin's attitude, Li Na's mood instantly plummeted to the bottom.

"County Magistrate Zhang, for the sake of Xu Haiyan, I hope you can stand up and speak a word of justice for Hongling Group."

Zhang Lin reacted as if he had touched a high-voltage wire, his face turning livid as he stood up abruptly.

"Are you threatening me?"

Li Na explained cautiously, "County Magistrate Zhang, when people are pushed to the edge, it is inevitable that their words might be imprecise."

Zhang Lin let out a cold laugh, "Do you really think that by relying on a Xu Haiyan, you can easily manipulate me?"
