Chapter 1165

The day after Tian Xiaotao called Qu Cheng'an, Qu Cheng'an called back, saying that he had something to do today and could not come. For this situation, Su Xinghui had long expected it, and he prepared a set of rhetoric for Tian Xiaotao in advance.

Tian Xiaotao said: "President Qu, it's okay. If you have something to do, you can be busy first. Anyway, we will handle the procedures whenever you come. Just call me in advance before you come, so I can book the best room in Jinbi Huihuang, and we brothers can have fun."

Qu Cheng'an is indeed a very cunning person. In such a situation, he is still so cautious. However, the rhetoric prepared by Su Xinghui also made him unable to doubt anything. After another day, he finally arrived in Jiangcheng and called Tian Xiaotao in advance, asking Tian Xiaotao to make an appointment with the people from the Construction Bank and the Bank of China to handle the procedures today.

The police officers of the Provincial Public Security Department had long been waiting in full battle array. When Qu Cheng'an's luxury motorcade appeared on a narrow section of the western suburbs of Jiangcheng, several police cars that had been ambushed in advance blocked their way, and a large number of armed police were dispatched, surrounding the motorcade tightly.

Looking at such a formation, a trace of panic flashed in Qu Cheng'an's eyes, but immediately he regained his composure. He got out of the car and shouted excitedly: "I am an investor from Hong Kong. What are you doing? How can you treat us investors like this? I want to see your Governor Tian!"

Hao Yucheng, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of the Public Security Department, who was in charge of the scene, breathed a long sigh of relief. He stepped forward and said to Qu Cheng'an: "If you have anything to say, go back to our Public Security Department and say it. Take him away!"

Qu Cheng'an and his subordinates and bodyguards were all taken back to the Public Security Department. At the same time, Shangjun County also learned the news that Qu Cheng'an was arrested. They immediately took action and arrested all of Qu Cheng'an's subordinates left in Shangjun County.

When Julie and others were arrested, they were still absorbing fundraising from the masses in their office in Shangjun County. The masses had a very high enthusiasm for fundraising, waving large stacks of banknotes in their hands, wanting to deposit them early. You know, if you deposit them one day early, you can calculate interest one day early.

When the police pushed through the crowd and captured Julie and others in one fell swoop, the masses were stunned. Immediately, those who had just deposited the money clamored to return the money to them. However, now this money must be taken away as evidence of their illegal fundraising, and it can only be returned to them after the case is concluded.

The masses heard such an explanation and were of course dissatisfied. They made a scene. Fortunately, Zhang Kaishan had long expected this situation. He transferred all the police and armed police in the county to the scene to maintain order and personally rushed to the scene, using a large loudspeaker to explain to the masses.

"Don't panic, everyone. I am Zhang Kaishan, Secretary of the Shangjun County Party Committee. Global International is suspected of fraud, illegal fundraising, and other crimes. Now all their involved personnel have been caught. Everyone's money will be returned to you in full. Please keep your receipts well. After the case is concluded, the county will notify everyone to refund uniformly."

Zhang Kaishan said this paragraph several times in a row, plus many cadres sent by the county to explain, and the emotions of the masses slowly calmed down.

But just at this time, a member of the masses shouted: "Since Global International is a fraudster, why did County Head Tian come to support them and even take money to deposit?"

Zhang Kaishan said: "At that time, County Head Tian did not know they were fraudsters. He was also for the early start of the electrolytic aluminum plant. It was a good intention, so everyone should not dwell on this issue. I represent the County Party Committee and the County Government to guarantee that everyone's fundraising money will be returned to you without a cent less."

That person shouted: "No, we must let County Head Tian come out to give us an explanation!"

Others also shouted: "Yes, we must let County Head Tian come out to give us an explanation!"

How could Tian Xiaopeng dare to appear in today's situation? He hid in his own office in the county government.

Zhang Kaishan saw the crowd was indignant. In desperation, he asked someone to call Tian Xiaopeng, but the person sent soon came over and whispered: "County Head Tian refuses to come."

Zhang Kaishan could only say loudly: "County Head Tian went to the provincial level for a meeting today, just for this fundraising matter. I am the County Party Committee Secretary. Please believe me. If the money is not returned to you in full after half a month, you can go to my house to find me!"

Zhang Kaishan's political reputation in Shangjun County is quite good. In the few years he has been in power, Shangjun County's economy has developed rapidly, public security has improved day by day, and urban construction has changed with each passing day. Therefore, after hearing his words, the masses at the scene hesitated.

At this time, another person shouted: "Secretary Zhang is a good cadre. Don't make things difficult for him. Let's disperse. If the money is not returned to you by then, it won't be too late to find Secretary Zhang."

After hearing this, everyone gradually dispersed. Zhang Kaishan suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief. Being able to let the masses disperse today without causing a mass incident is thanks to his good reputation.

However, he also knew that the situation was far from stable. When those who participated in the fundraising in the past few days learned the news, they would definitely go to the county government to ask for an explanation. The arduous task was still behind. Now we can only hope that the case will be concluded early and the stolen money will be recovered early.

After Qu Cheng'an was arrested, Su Xinghui returned to Pengjiawan Township. He played a key role in the operation to arrest Qu Cheng'an. He judged Qu Cheng'an's personality very accurately and prepared the lines for Tian Xiaotao very precisely, making the cunning and suspicious Qu Cheng'an fall for it.

Gu Shanmin was of course very satisfied with Su Xinghui's performance, but it was not time to celebrate yet. Qu Cheng'an had not spoken yet, and Su Xinghui could not stay in Jiangcheng all the time. He still had to return to Pengjiawan to work.

Although Qu Cheng'an was arrested, for several consecutive days, the Provincial Public Security Department's interrogation of him had no progress. He insisted that he was an investor from Hong Kong and would talk to his lawyer about what to say. Before his lawyer arrived, he would not say anything.

Julie and others did not have as good psychological quality as Qu Cheng'an. After one day, they confessed one after another that they were a fraud group. However, they did not know much about Qu Cheng'an's affairs and could not provide more valuable information.

Qu Cheng'an was very cunning and suspicious. He never trusted anyone in key matters. Therefore, no one knew when he endorsed and transferred the bank draft of over 100 million to the money laundering company. Similarly, no one knew where he hid the money.

This is a huge sum of over 100 million. If it cannot be recovered, not only will the country and the people suffer huge losses, but those fundraising masses will also make a scene, causing mass incidents and social unrest, which is what no one wants to see.

After Qu Cheng'an left Shangjun County, Julie and others absorbed more than 20 million in fundraising. Adding the previous 50 million plus in fundraising, it was a huge sum of nearly 80 million.

These 20 million plus in fundraising were still in Global International's account. Adding the 5 million plus that Tian Xiaotao returned to this account, plus the 8 million in Global International's account at the Provincial Industrial and Commercial Bank, there were still nearly 40 million that were not taken away by Qu Cheng'an. He took away about 120 million.

These nearly 40 million cannot be returned to the fundraising masses now, because it must wait until the case is concluded. But it is not easy to conclude the case. Qu Cheng'an is too difficult to break through.

This made the Shangjun County Party Committee a bit embarrassed. Zhang Kaishan promised to return all fundraising money to the fundraising masses in half a month. If he broke his promise, I don't know what would happen.

Tian Xiaopeng had no face to stay in Shangjun County. He said he was ill and returned to Jiangcheng. The mess he left behind was all thrown to Zhang Kaishan. Zhang Kaishan shouldered the responsibilities of the County Party Committee Secretary and County Head alone, trying his best to maintain the situation.

Those fundraising masses who participated in the fundraising before made a few more scenes at the County Party Committee compound, asking the County Party Committee to return the money to them. Zhang Kaishan said all kinds of things, but still promised to return the money to them within half a month.

Zhang Kaishan also knew that half a month was too tight. Even if the interrogation of Qu Cheng'an went smoothly, it would not be possible to conclude the case so quickly. But he could not delay any longer. If the time dragged on for too long, the fundraising masses would lose patience, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
