Rebirth: Super Banking System-Chapter 31 - 29 Settling Dust (Seeking Recommendations!)_1
Chapter 31: Chapter 29 Settling Dust (Seeking Recommendations!)_1
What followed next was predictable.
Half an hour after Zhu Rui and his two accomplices returned to their place, they were arrested by Qin Yugang and his team.
Zhu Rui kept shouting that they were friends with Guo Cheng, but no one paid any attention. They were used to criminals claiming to know someone powerful; they heard it so often that their ears were calloused.
They were tired of such unoriginal excuses.
Once at the station.
All three were interrogated separately.
Faced with irrefutable evidence and the jade pendant.
Hoping to earn a lighter sentence, one of the lackeys confessed first.
The case was easy to resolve after the first breakthrough.
The other two quickly confessed unremittingly to their crimes, which involved collecting protection fees at Baiwei. Moreover, they also ratted out Guo Cheng, essentially burying him.
At that moment.
Only one thought was recorded in the mind of the person transcribing the interrogations.
---They caught a big one.
Qin Yugang got the transcript.
Pored over it carefully.
Then promptly gave his superior, He Zhenshui, a call. Since the whole case was now as clear as daylight, according to procedure, they had to inform their superiors before the chief reported it up the chain.
If they broke rank and reported prematurely.
It would be overstepping the boundaries.
He Zhenshui was shocked by Qin Yugang’s report. The case was solved under his jurisdiction? He immediately thought about how much he could benefit from it.
However, since Qin Yugang was the one who cracked the case.
And he himself was out of town.
He could only claim credit as a leader at most.
Immediately.
He contacted his own superior.
The Secretary of Legal Affairs of Qingyan City---Feng Hai.
He realized then what Qin Yugang meant: he could share the credit, but only to some extent. But even if Qin Yugang didn’t mean it that way, He Zhenshui knew what to do next.
For a typical case.
Taking the credit would be fine, but what kind of case was this? What would people think if he tried to advance his career at the expense of his own son’s life? It would certainly end terribly.
Nobody had to say anything.
The leaders at home would scold him to death.
He would be reviled both inside and out.
As for Guo Cheng.
Once Feng Hai got the confession, he knew Guo Cheng was finished. Guo Cheng was seriously complicit, and not in a minor way. He was messing around with officialdom alongside Zhu Rui, so Feng Hai had to take a stance on this issue.
Following the directives of the municipal party committee.
Feng Hai reported to the Provincial Department.
The city leaders urgently convened a meeting.
At this stage, the case was deemed solved with concrete evidence. The Provincial Department would transfer the suspect the next day. One of the main agendas of the Standing Committee was---Guo Cheng.
Thinking of the "Stick to the Dream" mentioned in the confession.
The leaders’ faces turned red in embarrassment.
They feared that they would lose face all the way to the province.
So they seethed with hatred toward Guo Cheng. They wanted to make him pay for his actions, which had humiliated their entire municipal committee in front of their superiors.
Because of the confidentiality of the case at this time.
Guo Cheng only knew that Qin Yugang had cracked a significant case but didn’t know the details or who was involved.
Even if a big case was solved, so what?
Even if he was promoted, so what? At best, he would be on the same level as Guo Cheng himself, who still had the ability to make his life miserable. Guo Cheng was lost in a fantasy where Qin Yugang begged for his mercy, which put a happy smile on his face.
But before he could savor this fantasy.
The officers from the prosecutor’s office arrested a baffled Guo Cheng.
As for what happened to Guo Cheng in the end.
No one cared at this point.
What everyone was interested in now was Qin Yugang, who had cracked this case.
As for the vacant position left by Guo Cheng.
The leaders already had a candidate in mind. Although there were some procedural flaws in Qin Yugang’s handling of the case, they were minor compared to his contributions and could be overlooked.
Additionally, the city leaders had to present their contributions to their superiors. With Feng Hai’s strong recommendation, they tentatively agreed to this proposal.
Qin Yugang didn’t go home that night.
Various reports and incidents were coming one after another.
He had to make do at the police station for the night, with even more things to do the next day.
After hearing that Zhu Rui and others had been arrested.
Tang Qing hung up the phone.
With a smile, he looked at Li Jianguo: "Uncle Li, you don’t have to worry about those hooligans coming anymore."
"Really? What’s going on? What did you do?" Li Jianguo asked with curiosity, still kept in the dark.
"Those guys are fugitives, my uncle has caught them." Tang Qing said casually.
Upon hearing they were fugitives,
Li Jianguo was taken aback.
"Fugitives?"
"Don’t worry, they’ve been caught and can’t come out again." said Tang Qing, the murderers who deliberately killed their own son generally won’t be sentenced to death, but when faced with his son’s murderers,
Tsk tsk.
Li Jianguo wasn’t a fool either.
Considering Tang Qing’s previous actions, he couldn’t resist asking: "You directed this play...."
"Yes, just as you thought." Tang Qing didn’t clarify.
"Uncle Li, don’t overthink it, I had no other choice. Don’t ask about the rest, just know we’re on the same side." Tang Qing prevented Li Jianguo from fantasizing any further.
Li Jianguo sighed deeply.
Well, indeed.
Why think so much, he and Tang Qing are on the same side.
In the end,
Li Jianguo, who knew the truth, initially wanted to bear the loss alone, after all, this was a once-and-for-all solution, and he also wanted to form a good relationship with Tang Qing. However, Tang Qing insisted on splitting it equally, and Li Jianguo couldn’t argue anymore.
They decided to take the money from the profits of the store.
Deducted from the dividends.
At the same time, he warned Qian Zheng to keep his mouth shut. If the plan was leaked, he would be held responsible. Qian Zheng immediately promised to keep it confidential.
After dinner,
Tang Qing, who had returned home, was questioned by his aunt, He, of course, wouldn’t tell the truth and instead gave an excuse that he had discussed with his uncle. Otherwise, his aunt would nag him to death.
Even though he had skipped classes for the entire afternoon, he still had to do his homework. His teacher had asked the top student from his neighborhood to bring his school bag back.
Nothing happened overnight
The next day, Tang Qing came to school early. Walking in the campus, Tang Qing felt very relaxed. Yesterday, he had done his first significant thing in life - digging a pit.
His assessment of this action was word - overestimated.
Next, he had to do the system task.
"Tang Qing!"
Just as Tang Qing was thinking about the system task, he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling his name.
He turned his head to look.
It was Wang Yan.
Seeing Tang Qing turned his head, a hint of joy flashed across her pretty face, but it quickly disappeared. Wang Yan sped up to Tang Qing, with a slightly questioning tone, she said,
"Why didn’t you come to class yesterday afternoon? The teacher said you had something to do but didn’t tell me what it was."
Even though they had only been apart for an afternoon.
Wang Yan, who has had a crush on Tang Qing for two years, couldn’t help but worry.
This crush was deeply hidden. She knew about Tang Qing’s fiancee and their deep bond. She didn’t want to destroy their relationship, so she kept it to herself.
Later she wondered why she would like Tang Qing.
She wasn’t without suitors, neither had she not met people more outstanding than Tang Qing, and Tang Qing wasn’t that handsome. After thinking about it for half a month, she came to the conclusion that she liked Tang Qing’s love and dedication for Lin Jiaxue.
If there was a word that could express her thoughts,
It would be bullshit.
The reason she liked someone was precisely that he liked someone else, this is a complex relationship that would not be understood from any textbook.
Plus, Li Kai wasn’t there either.
She thought that both of them were in trouble. She asked the class teacher before knowing that they both had something to deal with, but what it was, the class teacher didn’t say.
"It’s nothing, just helping others out." Tang Qing explained.
Thinking about his past life,
He felt guilt in his heart.
Wang Yan wasn’t the kind of bashful girl. She was independent, strong, and decisive. At a young age, she was excellent at masking her emotions, and she didn’t show any silly or blushy expressions.
All her interactions and observation with him were disguised as unintentional.
Understanding Wang Yan, Tang Qing couldn’t help but admire.
Women are indeed good at acting. A smart woman is simply an acting queen. If he didn’t know that she had been secretly in love with him since high school, no one would be able to tell that Wang Yan liked or had feelings for Tang Qing.
