Chapter 1154

~7 min read 1,225 words

It took two days for the results of the investigation commissioned by Su Xinghui to Mi Xiuyuan and Xie Junqiang to come out. Sure enough, just as Su Xinghui had expected, this Qu Cheng'an was truly a fraud.

Global International Investment Co., Ltd. of Hong Kong was a small company with a registered capital of only 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and its registered address was in a small office in an office building in Kowloon. Mi Xiuyuan sent people to check on this company; there were only two people working there, idling away, and perhaps their biggest task was to guard the telephone.

After all, they had left a phone number in the company materials submitted to the Shangjun County government. To complete the act, someone had to guard the phone.

Xie Junqiang asked his older brother to check the information on Qu Cheng'an, Julie, and others, and only then did he learn that these two were already listed as wanted individuals by the Commercial Crime Bureau in Hong Kong, and they were suspected of being involved in multiple fraud cases that had occurred on the mainland.

These fraud cases mainly involved them using the name of Global International to conduct fraud under the guise of investing on the mainland, and their main methods of fraud were loans and fundraising, with the amount involved exceeding 100 million.

Although Qu Cheng'an's status was that of a Hong Kong resident, he had actually gone to Hong Kong from the mainland. That was in the late 1970s. An uncle of Qu Cheng'an returned to his hometown in eastern Guangdong from Hong Kong to visit relatives. This uncle had no children of his own, so he adopted Qu Cheng'an as his son and took him to Hong Kong.

After Qu Cheng'an's uncle passed away, he inherited his seafood shop. This was originally an industry sufficient for him to make a living, but Qu Cheng'an had been lazy and gluttonous since childhood. While his uncle was alive, he could still do some work, but once his uncle died, he had no one to restrain him and began to act recklessly.

He spent his time wining and dining and acting recklessly, and in less than half a year, he had squandered his family fortune completely.

Helpless, he returned to his hometown from Hong Kong, originally intending to find some money from his family, but he did not expect to receive a grand welcome in his hometown. The people in his hometown all thought he was a big boss in Hong Kong, and the local government leaders even invited him to dinner, welcoming him back to his hometown to invest.

This let Qu Cheng'an know that his status as a Hong Konger was still quite valuable, so he got the idea and started the business of fraud.

Of course, he also knew the principle that a rabbit does not eat the grass by its own hole, so he did not commit fraud in his hometown. He had committed multiple frauds in many places on the mainland, and it had always been smooth sailing, successful in everything he did.

Julie was his accomplice. She was originally a "northern girl" who worked in the flesh trade in Hong Kong, and she had also gone to Hong Kong from eastern Guangdong. Qu Cheng'an discovered her, felt she had potential, and pulled her in to become his assistant.

Qu Cheng'an gave Julie relatively strict training, letting her learn various etiquette and culture, and even learned economic management. It must be said that fraudsters are also very professional. Julie also utilized her natural beauty and the things she had learned to play a big role in Qu Cheng'an's fraud process.

Although Qu Cheng'an and Julie were listed by the Commercial Crime Bureau, which made them afraid to return to Hong Kong now, they were still thriving on the mainland, and their fraud team was growing larger and larger.

These materials were faxed over after being investigated by the Mi family and the Xie family. Su Xinghui looked at these materials and shook his head incessantly, saying, "This fraudster is really professional. If they went to be actors, they would definitely be excellent actors."

Mi Xiuyuan laughed, "If their acting skills weren't good, they wouldn't be able to fool so many people!"

Su Xinghui gave a bitter smile. In fact, many fraudsters with very clumsy acting skills still fooled many people, and even many high-ranking and powerful leading cadres were fooled. For example, Wang Hongcheng, hadn't he fooled so many big leaders? And there were quite a few Hong Kong fraudsters who came to the mainland, and they also succeeded repeatedly, causing great losses to governments everywhere.

In the end, such a huge loss was lightly dismissed with the phrase "paying tuition fees." Over these years, how much tuition has the country paid?

Although this was also due to the lack of smooth information, and Hong Kong and the mainland were too far apart, if there was real vigilance, it wouldn't be impossible to investigate. Didn't Su Xinghui investigate it? In the end, it was still a case of "the son selling the grandfather's land without feeling the pain," and it didn't matter if tuition was paid. As long as one knew how to brag and flatter, one could still be an official in another place, and in a few years, one would be a good man again.

Su Xinghui said to Mi Xiuyuan and Xie Junqiang, "Mr. Mi, Mr. Xie, thank you. You may have saved our county from huge losses!"

Mi Xiuyuan and Xie Junqiang both said, "Township Head Su, you're welcome. This Qu Cheng'an has also lost face for us Hong Kongers."

Although the true face of Global International and Qu Cheng'an had been investigated, it was still too early to talk about avoiding losses. These days, the fundraising money received by Global International had already exceeded 50 million yuan, and the progress of the Tian family helping them with the loan was unknown. Now, they had to race against time to minimize the losses.

Su Xinghui was anxious. After receiving the materials from Mi Xiuyuan and Xie Junqiang, he immediately asked for leave from Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian and returned to the county town. He could not tell Comrade Comrade Comrade Qi Jian about this matter yet, as Qu Cheng'an's problem had not been finalized, so he could only ask for leave to return to the county town.

Returning to the county town, Su Xinghui went directly to Zhang Kaishan's office. When he showed that document to Zhang Kaishan, Zhang Kaishan's expression was very solemn. He knew the seriousness of this matter. This involved the huge property of tens of millions of yuan of tens of thousands of common people in Shangjun County and the surrounding counties and cities, as well as the huge state-owned assets of several state-owned banks.

It was not just the loss of property. If it could not be stopped in time, this matter would inevitably set off a huge political storm in Shangjun County. None of them, as county leaders, could be spared. Although the matter was stirred up by Tian Xiaopeng, he, Zhang Kaishan, was the head of Shangjun County, and his responsibility could not be shirked.

Zhang Kaishan said seriously, "Xinghui, can this matter be verified?"
