Chapter 1170

Zhang Kaishan said: "This is all what we should do."

Lu Zhenghong also asked about some details of their handling of the fundraising incident this time and gave his affirmation to their approach.

Lu Zhenghong said: "Tian Xiaopeng will no longer serve as the Shangjun County Magistrate. Did Secretary Gu mention the matter of the county magistrate candidate to you?"

Zhang Kaishan nodded and said: "He did. I recommended Comrade Chen Hongfu to Secretary Gu to serve as the Shangjun County Magistrate."

Hearing the name Chen Hongfu, Lu Zhenghong couldn't help but look at Su Xinghui. The last time Jia Hequn had an incident, Su Xinghui had recommended Chen Hongfu to Lu Zhenghong, but that time Tian Xiaopeng had intervened, causing Chen Hongfu to miss an opportunity. He hadn't expected that in less than half a year, he would get this opportunity after all.

Lu Zhenghong nodded and said: "Since you recommended him, there should be no problem. Go back and have a talk with him."

Su Xinghui asked: "Uncle Lu, has Qu Cheng'an still not spoken?"

Just now, Gu Shanmin hadn't told them how far the investigation into Qu Cheng'an's case had progressed, because before the case was closed, the details had to be kept confidential. If he didn't volunteer the information, Zhang Kaishan and Su Xinghui certainly couldn't ask.

However, it was different in front of Lu Zhenghong; it didn't matter if Su Xinghui asked.

One had to know that whether Qu Cheng'an spoke or not was related to whether the illicit funds could be recovered, which was of course very important to Shangjun County. Therefore, Zhang Kaishan and Su Xinghui were both very concerned about this matter.

Lu Zhenghong laughed: "Didn't the province agree to return those 30 million yuan to you first? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Su Xinghui said: "Uncle Lu, we have no choice. Those tens of millions were borrowed by our county's finance department to pay in advance, and we are also anxious to pay it back."

Lu Zhenghong was just joking with them. Although the case details had to be kept confidential, it certainly didn't matter if he revealed a little to them. He said: "Qu Cheng'an is very stubborn, but the Provincial Public Security Department mobilized several interrogation experts. After such a long interrogation, they finally pried Qu Cheng'an's mouth open. Now, the case-handling police from the Provincial Public Security Department have already escorted Qu Cheng'an to recover the illicit funds."

Zhang Kaishan and Su Xinghui exchanged a glance, both overjoyed. Since it had reached the stage of recovering the illicit funds, their minds were at ease; at the very least, these tens of millions in fundraising money could be recovered.

Of course, it wouldn't be that fast to truly close the case; it was estimated that it would take at least another month or two because Qu Cheng'an was involved in too many cases. After he opened his mouth, he would certainly have to confess everything. The public security department would then have to verify each of the cases he confessed to. Transportation was not very convenient right now, and verifying these cases would also take time.

Regardless, Qu Cheng'an had opened his mouth, which could maximize the recovery of losses. This was also a great thing for Shangjun County.

Su Xinghui laughed: "That's great, then we can all be at ease."

Lu Zhenghong said: "Now you can rest assured. Just wait patiently in the county. Once this case is concluded, the illicit funds will be returned to you immediately."

Next, Lu Zhenghong asked a few more questions about Lu Xiaoya's work situation in Shangjun County. Zhang Kaishan and Su Xinghui then stood up to take their leave. Accompanied by the provincial party committee staff, they went to the Provincial Public Security Department to handle the procedures for the advance return of the illicit funds, then took a bank draft for over 30 million yuan and returned to Shangjun County.

With these 30-plus million yuan, the county government first refunded the 10 million yuan owed to the government cadres and staff, and then repaid the loans from several enterprises such as Hongtu Real Estate and the machinery factory, which suddenly reduced Zhang Kaishan's pressure significantly. ===== CHAPTER 1172 =====
