Chapter 489: The Arrest of Zheng Shengli

At this time, Sha Ruijin did not yet know that Huangmao Zheng Shengli had already prepared a grand gift for him.

The next morning, Li Dakang signed an agreement regarding the Guangming Peak Project with the Oriental Group, represented by Xu Zhou, and only then did Li Dakang heave a long sigh of relief.

In the afternoon, as Huangmao's posts fermented online, Sun Liancheng realized something was wrong and hurriedly told Li Dakang; upon seeing them, Li Dakang was furious and directly summoned Zhao Donglai.

"Go, catch the person who posted these at top speed; they are actually openly slandering the Jingzhou Shizhengfu. Also, seal all these posts, and summon all relevant malicious reposters for questioning."

"Yes, Secretary Li."

Li Dakang waved his hand to let Zhao Donglai leave, while he himself wondered who could be so bold; there was no need to doubt it was definitely the family members of those old employees, but he did not know who specifically.

Once Zheng Shengli's posts were issued, the children of the old employees of Dafeng Factory also grasped the truth of the matter and informed their fathers one after another.

In an instant, the old employees of Dafeng Factory gathered together again, blocking the factory gate with the original sack fences of the Dafeng Factory once more.

At this time, Zheng Xipo was resting at home when he was interrupted by a burst of urgent telephone ringing.

"Zheng, it's bad, all our money is gone. Now we are all gathered at the factory gate, and everyone is waiting for you to come and preside over things."

"What? How do you all know?"

"My daughter saw it on the internet; it's everywhere now. You hurry over."

"It's over."

Others did not know the truth, but he understood; in an instant, he thought of something:

"Shengli, Shengli!"

But by now, Zheng Shengli had already gone to find his girlfriend, Zhang Baobao; he had to mobilize more power and let more people know, for only in this way, under the principle that the law does not punish the masses, could the money be found back.

"Something's wrong."

Seeing that his son Huangmao was not in the room, Zheng Xipo hurriedly made a phone call, but no one answered.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Who is it?"

"Zheng, it's me, open the door quickly."

"Qian Gong'an, why is it you? Is something the matter?"

"Zheng, where is your Shengli? The leaders of the Municipal Bureau are looking for him for something."

"Shengli went out early this morning, and I just called but no one answered."

"Hello comrade, this is a search warrant and an arrest warrant; we need to go in and conduct a search."

Seeing the furious Li Dakang, Zhao Donglai dared not delay and signed the search warrant and arrest warrant at top speed.

"No, what are you all doing?"

Zheng Xipo was powerless to stop the Public Security officers, who were like wolves and tigers; they discovered clues on Zheng Shengli's computer.

"Zheng, your son has committed a major offense this time. In the past, small troubles were just handled by our verbal education, but this time..." Lao Qian shook his head and said no more.

At this moment, Zheng Shengli was still completely unaware; he was at Zhang Baobao's residence browsing his battle results from yesterday, only to find that they had all been sealed.

"Good, good, good."

Zheng Shengli also discovered a banner on the official website of the Jingzhou Shizhengfu regarding their cooperation with the Oriental Group.

"So it was to pave the way for a foreign group. Sure enough, I wonder how many benefits they received."

Thinking he had grasped the truth, Zheng Shengli began a new round of posting, including posts aimed at smearing the Oriental Group, and subsequently contacted internet trolls to repost them.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Who is it?"

"Public Security, open the door."

Zhang Baobao was also a leader of the internet trolls; yesterday, her repost volume was not a bit inferior to Zheng Shengli's.

"Zhang Baobao, right? You are suspected of slandering and smearing a government unit online. We are now summoning you according to the law; come with us."

"Hey, hey, hey."

Hearing the commotion in the room, Zheng Shengli was startled; he dove directly under the bed to hide and only dared to poke his head out once there was no more movement outside.

Other internet trolls were also caught one after another, and Zheng Shengli's new posts were surprisingly reposted by them for several more rounds.

Zheng Shengli was now shivering; he had not expected the matter to blow up so big. Usually, it was just verbal education, so why were they catching people everywhere now?

At this time, he not only dared not bring his mobile phone, but he was also hiding in the urban-rural fringe of Jingzhou.

"Secretary Li, all the malicious reposters have had their statements recorded. They all followed someone called 'Crying Caterpillar'. According to our investigation, this person's real name is Zheng Shengli, the son of Dafeng Factory Union Chairman Zheng Xipo."

"However, we did not catch him when we went this afternoon. Later, according to surveillance, he went to his girlfriend's house. After possibly discovering his girlfriend had been summoned, he ran to the urban-rural fringe, and his whereabouts are currently unknown."

"Very well. The son of a Dafeng Factory Union Chairman dares to fabricate facts and make things up at will. Now, increase the intensity of the personnel search; be sure to catch him as soon as possible."

"Yes, Secretary Li."

At the same time, the Jingzhou branch of the Oriental Group also saw the posts Zheng Shengli made, and Xu Zhou's anger was even greater.

"Issue a lawyer's letter. For anyone who maliciously reposts, I don't have high requirements; treat them with the maximum penalty. As for the culprit, I hope he can spend a few years inside."

"Very well, General Manager Xu."

After the Legal Department received the information, they were immediately excited. They could be said to have been bored to death these years, taking money every day for nothing and having no sense of achievement.

"Brothers, someone has finally come to pull the tiger's whiskers. Get to work."

"Got it."

Sha Ruijin also saw the content of the posts and was similarly very angry, but not at Zheng Shengli; he was angry at Li Dakang.

Sha Ruijin felt that the words he had spoken to Li Dakang last time had been in vain, and with one phone call, he summoned Li Dakang to the Provincial Party Committee Building.

Li Dakang dared not delay; after asking Zhao Donglai for the latest developments, he rushed to the Provincial Party Committee.

"Division Chief Bai, is Secretary Sha in?"

"Secretary Li, Secretary Sha is already inside waiting for you."

"Good."

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in."

"Secretary Sha."

"Hmm, Comrade Li Dakang, you've given me quite a surprise the moment I returned. Tell me, what is really going on with those posts online?"

"Secretary Sha, this is complete slander. The person who posted them is the son of the Dafeng Factory labor union chairman; there isn't a single word of truth in what is written there."

"We transferred the demolition compensation funds long ago. It was their own poor management that led to this situation, and there is evidence for all of this."

"Those suppliers for the Dafeng Factory are all witnesses. It is because they themselves could not accept the gap in compensation that they are now attempting to distort the truth online."

"Hmm, and what about the second post? What is going on between you and the Oriental Group?"

"Secretary Sha, regarding the issues with the Guangming Peak Project, you should already be aware of them..."

Li Dakang patiently explained to Sha Ruijin again, his mouth becoming parched from all the talking.

"Secretary Sha, the veteran comrade Chen Yanshi is here."

"Oh? Quickly, invite Chen Lao in. Comrade Li Dakang, it's perfect that Chen Lao is here; you can explain it again."

"Very well, Secretary Sha."

Li Dakang was cursing Sha Ruijin half to death in his heart, as he hadn't even offered a cup of tea to moisten his throat after talking for so long.

"Little Jin, Li Dakang, you're here too?"

"Uncle Chen, please come in and sit."

Hearing this form of address, Sha Ruijin's brows furrowed imperceptibly; he was nearly sixty years old and in the provincial party committee office, so being called "Little Jin" was truly uncomfortable.

Chen Yanshi had not come empty-handed; in his hand, he held the very payment vouchers between the Dafeng Factory and the suppliers.

"Little Jin, I don't know how to talk about this matter."

"Uncle Chen, is it because of the Dafeng Factory? Please feel free to speak your mind; it just so happens that Comrade Li Dakang is here, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask."
