Chapter 481: When the Plot Begins 2.0

Shanshui Group is engaged in the textile industry, so naturally, it is inevitable that they deal with clothing factories, among which is the Dafeng Clothing Factory in Jingzhou.

As a raw material supplier, Shanshui Textile Factory and Dafeng Clothing Factory have always maintained a good cooperative relationship;

until the owner of Dafeng Clothing Factory, Cai Chenggong, was eager for quick success to expand his industrial scale, and coupled with the fact that the clothes produced were too outdated and had no market, this caused the capital chain of Dafeng to break.

He had no choice but to keep delaying payment for goods, and finally, with no more room to delay, he had no choice but to use the shares of Dafeng Clothing Factory to offset the price;

but now, due to the development of the Guangming Peak Project, the land of Dafeng Clothing Factory has soared in value, and it is said to be worth one billion.

Seeing the market value of his Dafeng Factory soaring, Cai Chenggong naturally wanted to redeem his shares, but was refused by Shanshui Group.

Faced with one billion, no one can remain rational; the profits of Shanshui Group over these years have only been a few billion, so they are naturally unwilling to let go of this fat meat that has fallen into their hands.

In fact, the reason why Dafeng Clothing Factory hoarded so much stock also has to do with Zhao Ruilong; it belongs to a trap set by Zhao Ruilong.

Today's Shanshui Manor is already the best place for social interaction among the upper class in Handong, and many pieces of news can be obtained without deliberately asking.

Zhao Ruilong was the one who obtained the news in advance that the location of Dafeng Clothing Factory was to be demolished, and he agreed to allow Cai Chenggong to buy on credit in the early stages;

Cai Chenggong is also not cut out for business, which led to more and more accumulated debts, and eventually, he was unable to repay them and was forced to mortgage the company's shares.

Now that the news of the demolition has spread, Cai Chenggong is dumbfounded; even if he wants to get his shares back now, it is a pity that he does not have enough financial resources to redeem them.

There is also a key figure here: Li Dakang's wife, Ouyang Jing, who blocked Cai Chenggong's loans due to the poor management of Dafeng Clothing Factory, causing him to be unable to repay his debts.

"Hahaha, come, drink."

At this moment, in the No. 1 private room of Shanshui Manor, Zhao Ruilong, Xu Jiang, Jingzhou Executive Vice Mayor Ding Yizhen, Jingzhou City Procurator-General Xiao Gangyu, Ouyang Jing, Chen Qingquan, and others are all present.

"Everyone, we must secure the land of Dafeng Factory as soon as possible. Mayor Ding, this demolition work must be arranged as soon as possible."

Over these years, Ding Yizhen and Chen Qingquan have both been frequent visitors to Shanshui Manor, and the third floor even has permanent rooms reserved for them, just to facilitate them in learning foreign languages.

At first, Xu Jiang was against it; having finally cleaned up his act, he really did not want to get mixed up in pornography, gambling, and drugs again;

but with Zhao Lichun retiring to the second line, the status of their Shanshui Group in Handong became a bit awkward, and they were in urgent need of a powerful backer.

He cannot count on Li Dakang, and Gao Yuliang is equally incorruptible; with provincial-level leaders out of consideration, they can only seek out the secondary power brokers of Jingzhou City.

As a regular customer, Chen Qingquan introduced Ding Yizhen, a like-minded person, and the two sides naturally hit it off immediately.

Then Zhao Ruilong installed cameras in the room, keeping precious historical footage of the two, and with both sides holding leverage, cooperation could be pleasant.

"And President Ouyang, you must also cut off Dafeng Factory; Dean Chen, you are the final safeguard."

"Understood, Young Master Zhao, tell me how to try the case, and I will try it that way."

"That's right, this is our people's good Dean."

"Hahaha, and Dean Chen, no matter how you do this, there must be a legal basis."

"Don't worry about that, I will find the legal basis. If you want us to win, I can find a way for us to win; the power of interpretation of legal provisions lies with me."

"Hahaha, that's great."

"By the way, Mayor Ding, my sister's Deputy Division Level position..."

"Deputy Division Level? Division Chief."

"Division, Division Chief? Mayor Ding, you have given me a surprise today."

"Hahaha, come, come, we must have a drink."

The overall tone for Dafeng Clothing Factory was thus settled in such an understated manner.

At this time in Sijiucheng, in an unremarkable residential building, there was a van downstairs filled with team members from the Anti-Corruption General Bureau.

"Let's go, son, let's go to English class."

As the middle-aged woman left with the boy, the group from the Anti-Corruption General Bureau went straight upstairs, knocked on the door, and broke into Zhao Dehan's home...

The next day at the Jingzhou Anti-Corruption Bureau, Hou Liangping received a call from the Supreme People's Procuratorate in Sijiucheng.

"Comrade Liangping, I am Hou Yong from the Anti-Corruption General Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate. According to our investigation, your Handong Jingzhou Executive Vice Mayor Ding Yizhen has major suspicions of corruption."

"I will send the relevant procedures over as soon as possible. You must keep a close eye on Ding Yizhen; you must not let him run away."

"Yes, I guarantee the mission will be completed."

Hou Liangping did not dare to hesitate and reported the situation to Ji Changming immediately. He does not have Zhong Xiaoai to back him up right now, so it is impossible to go and arrest someone without procedures;

he cannot count on the Liang Family right now either, and Ji Changming is his direct superior; even if he wants to earn merit, he cannot bypass his superiors to arrest a department-level Cadre.

"Procurator-General Ji, the situation is like this..."

"Liangping, you did well. Leave someone to guard the fax machine, have your people stand by at any time, and you come with me to the Provincial Party Committee immediately to report the situation."

"Yes."

Hou Liangping instructed everyone and hurriedly went downstairs to meet up with Ji Changming; an arrest operation regarding Ding Yizhen was about to unfold.

This scene was also heard in its entirety by Xiao Gangyu, who immediately tipped off Ding Yizhen.

Ji Changming also reported the situation to Gao Yuliang on the way there, but because Secretary Sha Ruijin had not yet arrived to take office, they could only convene a meeting of the Provincial Standing Committee members to discuss it.

Inside the conference room of the Provincial Party Committee Building, Political and Legal Affairs Committee Secretary Gao Yuliang, Public Security Department Head Qi Tongwei, Provincial Standing Committee Member Li Dakang, Procurator-General Ji Changming, and Anti-Corruption Bureau Director Hou Liangping all had serious expressions on their faces.

"Liangping, quickly state the situation from the Anti-Corruption General Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate."

"Yes, Procurator-General Ji, leaders, the leaders of the Supreme Anti-Corruption Bureau have conclusive evidence proving that Deputy Mayor Ding is suspected of taking bribes, and the amount is huge."

"A mayor in our province is taking bribes, and we don't know about it, yet how did they know first?"

"Comrade Changming, what exactly is going on here?"

"It is like this: an investor from Fujian reported a Resource Division Chief of a national ministry."

"As a result, pulling out the radish brought out the mud, and our Deputy Mayor Ding was also reported along with it."

Li Dakang frowned; if Ding Yizhen really committed a crime, the blow to him would undoubtedly be the greatest. Not only would there be a stain on his resume, but the Guangming Peak Project might even be difficult to continue.

Especially since Ding Yizhen always says he is the embodiment of Li Dakang; this is like yellow mud falling into one's trousers—even if it isn't shit, it's still shit.

"Comrade Liangping, Comrade Changming, is this news reliable? You must know that we in Jingzhou are doing resource integration; I am in charge, and Ding Yizhen is leading it."

"And this is not just Ding Yizhen's personal matter; if things go wrong, a whole row will collapse. What about the Guangming Peak Project? It's over 28 billion. So I suggest we first place Ding Yizhen under internal investigation."

"If the Anti-Corruption General Bureau takes the person away, we will be in a passive position, and it will be a heavy blow to our Handong economy."

"Comrade Changming, what is the intention of the Supreme People's Procuratorate?"

"The Na Family in Beijing has already sent over the case filing documents, asking us to detain them, but putting them under 'internal disciplinary investigation' is also fine; let's control the person first, and no matter what happens later, it will be easy to handle."

The debate inside the Provincial Party Committee Building had yet to reach a conclusion, but Ding Yizhen had already received a tip-off from Xiao Gangyu.

"Mm, oh, okay, I understand, mm, okay."

Ding Yizhen finished the call with a normal expression, then instructed Director Wang, a nobody, to toast on his behalf, while he himself left in a hurry.
