Although Yang Xiaoqiao's actions were very covert, her proactive approach aroused the hostility of Zhao Heping's daughter Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing entrusted Fan Xin'an to investigate Yang Xiaoqiao and prevent Yang Xiaoqiao from approaching his father. After a careful investigation, Fan Xin'an was shocked because Yang Xiaoqiao's father died in his hands. Yang Xiaoqiao once went to the company and swore in person that she would not forgive herself and Zhao Heping.
Zhao Heping was plotting against him, and he was angry because he didn't believe Yang Xiaoqiao would do anything bad to him. But facts speak louder than words, and Fan Xin'an found a camera in the room. After the truth was revealed, Yang Xiaoqiao calmly confessed everything.
Yang Xiaoqiao was blindfolded and her arms were tied behind her back, but she did not panic, as if she had already anticipated the current situation.
Zhao Heping sighed deeply, bent down, took off the cloth from Yang Xiaoqiao's mouth, and then untied the cloth covering her eyes, revealing a pair of eyes full of hatred, "Xiaoqiao, why do you treat me like this? I've been so good to you, and you actually want to frame me!"
Yang Xiaoqiao sneered and said sarcastically, "Zhao Heping, stop being hypocritical. Before my father passed away, in addition to the suicide note, he also left a notebook. The notebook records in detail how you tempted my father to commit suicide step by step. From the day I learned about this, I swore that I would make you get what you deserve."
Zhao Heping smiled bitterly and said, "I reminded Lao Yang to stop at the brink, but he was too greedy and didn't stop. In fact, if he had sold the factory at that time, everything would have been properly resolved."
Yang Xiaoqiao glared at Zhao Heping and sneered, "After working so hard for so many years, you sold it at a low price and let the underground bank become the biggest beneficiary. Is this your intention?"
Zhao Heping sighed and said, "You have misunderstood me too deeply."
Fan Xin'an reminded him, "Brother Heping, why waste your breath? Go ahead and let me handle the rest."
Zhao Heping took a deep look at Yang Xiaoqiao and said, "Xiaoqiao, I will take good care of your mother..."
After saying that, Zhao Heping walked out decisively. There was a bit of bitterness in his eyes, and suddenly he felt a sense of absurdity. After so many years in the officialdom, he had already experienced many ups and downs. He originally thought that he was strong enough, but he didn't expect that when he decided to leave the stage, he almost lost to a young girl.
Yang Xiaoqiao's acting skills were so good, she approached him step by step, tempted him, and only one step away, she could make him, who was cautious, leave a handle in her hand. Zhao Heping took a breath of cold air, feeling a knot in his heart, wondering why fate would torture him like this, because he was sincere to Xiaoqiao.
Zhao Heping walked away from the rooftop with heavy steps, imagining what was about to happen. Tomorrow morning, someone might find the body of a woman who had fallen to her death downstairs. This was Fan Xin'an's usual method, violent and cruel.
He stepped out of the building, took a reluctant look at the rooftop, and then got into the car. At this moment, a strong light came from a distance, and it turned out to be a number of car lights coming through the darkness.
"Oh no, we've been discovered." Zhao Heping's face was gloomy. He told the driver, "Start the car, don't turn on the lights, find a side road and drive quickly."
The driver nodded and turned on the turn signal. After a few bumps, the car drove around the unfinished building and quickly fled along the path. Because the car was black, it was difficult to distinguish it from a distance in the dark. The driver's driving skills were good, and with the dim lights, there was no danger.
As for the unfinished building, a fierce battle broke out. First, the criminal police who rushed over took control of the younger brothers downstairs at lightning speed. Then a group of people quickly scanned the building and found the rooftop where the target was.
With the sound of several gunshots, a short gunfight broke out in the unfinished building. After about ten minutes, the criminal police rescued Yang Xiaoqiao, whose life was hanging by a thread. As for Fan Xin'an, who originally tried to escape, he was surrounded by the security guards brought by Dingzi and failed to escape successfully. Therefore, a serial murder case surfaced. In the past five years, Fan Xin'an planned five murders and arranged the scenes to look like "suicides" to deceive everyone.
After Fan Xin'an was arrested, nearly 20 families petitioned together to express public opinion and called on the municipal government to crack down on the Yinzhou underground money houses system and severely punish the culprits of usury. The municipal public security system held a special campaign for this purpose, conducting strict investigations in all counties of the city to find out any personnel related to the underground money houses, and to persuade and educate them at the least, and punish them according to law at the most serious. In just one month, the underground money houses suffered a heavy blow, especially in Dongtai, where many people were terrified when talking about underground money houses, and the local black financial forces were eliminated.
In addition, Dongtai also had a hotly debated incident: the county party deputy secretary Zhao Heping mysteriously disappeared. Although the government did not issue a statement, many people guessed that Zhao Heping was closely related to underground banks. In order to maintain the government's good image, the Dongtai government chose to handle the matter in a low-key manner.
A month later, the situation gradually calmed down. Song Wendi flipped through the special case report on underground banks, sighed deeply, and said to himself: "Zhicheng has taught me a lesson. It turns out that public opinion can be used in this way."
Those who are connected with underground banks and gain benefits are public opinion, and those who are harmed by underground banks are also public opinion. It is far more correct to take advantage of the public opinion of the victims and take the initiative to attack than to be afraid of the public opinion of those who benefit.
Chapter 0312: The Ending That Is Not the Ending
A few words cannot describe the many changes that have taken place in this month.
The China Youth Daily used a series of reports to explain, from a reporter's perspective, the entire process of the destruction of the underground money houses and their impact on Dongtai's economy.
"Many people believe that private lending should be given a certain living space, because it will make it easier for enterprises to raise funds, thereby further enhancing the vitality of economic opening, but the reality is not that easy. If private lending is allowed to develop, this double-edged sword will reveal its fangs. In Dongtai, we saw many broken families falling apart because of the high interest rates.
As for the masses who were deceived into raising funds, they only saw the short-term interest and did not know that the profits promised by underground banks were extremely risky. Almost every day, small underground banks suffered losses and then ran away, causing the funds invested by the masses to become a bubble...
Yinzhou has adopted seemingly drastic measures against underground banks, which even affected the interests of some people, but in the long run, this is correct and forward-looking. The local government is using other forms to supplement private lending. The Dongtai County Government, the center of the storm against underground banks, has established a public service agency with financial attributes - Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd., to solve the investment and financing problems of local enterprises... "
Li Hui read the last feature article in a clear voice, her tone full of excitement and joy. After finally finishing the last paragraph, she gently closed the newspaper and exclaimed, "Director Fang, I didn't expect that the China Youth Daily would take so long to report this incident. I originally thought it would cause panic, but it turned out to be a good thing and also provided free publicity for our investment promotion company."
Even a week ago, everyone was still uneasy, including Fang Zhicheng, who was a little unsure about the next changes. Because the province attached great importance to this matter, many people raised objections, believing that Yinzhou's behavior was too risky and radical.
The incident has risen to the level of ideology, which is extremely serious. Some people even questioned Song Wendi, believing that many of his measures in Yinzhou were too "rightist", and demanded that Song Wendi be punished accordingly.
This kind of influence is beyond the scope of what ordinary people can understand. Although there are no obvious shocks, there are undercurrents, which have led to a series of open and covert struggles among the highest-level factions in Huainan Province.
Song Wendi also took on a lot of pressure for this, but he supported Fang Zhicheng with practical actions, and did not pass on the pressure to others, but took it silently. As a result, the special team was able to investigate the underground money houses for a month.
Fang Zhicheng thought that he could do anything he could, so he tried to contact the reporter of Huaxia Youth Daily. Huaxia Youth Daily is the most forward-looking media among national newspapers and periodicals. They were very interested in the news of "destroying the underground money houses". They arranged three reporters to come to Yinzhou and conducted three weeks of open and secret investigations, compiling several high-quality news reports.
After the news was released, Song Wendi's political opponents who had originally questioned him remained silent. At the same time, a nationwide special operation to crack down on underground banks was quickly launched, with Huainan Province as the center.
Fang Zhicheng did not show any emotion on his face, but he was still excited in his heart. After all, through this action, the investment promotion company finally removed the biggest obstacle in the local area, and the reputation of the investment promotion company was also promoted. In the future, its positioning will no longer be limited to Dongtai, but will slowly radiate outward, with Yinzhou as the center, and spread to the entire province.
Fang Zhicheng tapped the table with his fingers, glanced at Li Hui, pointed at the sofa, and said softly: "Sister Hui, please sit for a while. I have something to communicate with you."
Li Hui's heart moved slightly. Two weeks ago, the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department had arranged people to investigate Fang Zhicheng. Later, because the underground money house incident made too much noise, there has been no news. However, Li Hui vaguely guessed that this should be related to Fang Zhicheng's upcoming promotion.
Li Hui sat upright on the sofa, crossing her legs. Fang Zhicheng made two cups of tea, gave one to Li Hui, and said softly, "The notice from the Organization Department will probably be issued this week. I will not leave Dongtai, but the position of Director of Investment Promotion will be vacant."
Li Hui's eyes sparkled, and she didn't know why she felt so complicated. If Fang Zhicheng was promoted, it would be good news for her. As the executive deputy director, it would be a natural step for her to move up. However, without Fang Zhicheng, she felt very uneasy. Did she have the ability to support the Merchants Group and shoulder such a difficult situation
Li Hui sighed and said, "Director Fang, I should give you my blessing for your promotion. However, I am not sure. You have been in charge of the Merchants Bank in the past. Now that you have handed it over to me, I am afraid that I am not up to the task."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "If nothing unexpected happens, even if I go to the county government, I will be in charge of investment promotion. This is also what I asked the Organization Department to do, so don't worry too much. Moreover, from the past period of time, I found that you are fully capable of the position of Director of Investment Promotion. I have learned a lot of valuable experience from you, so don't underestimate yourself."
Fang Zhicheng was speaking from his heart. He used to be the secretary of the municipal party secretary and knew nothing about investment promotion. If it weren't for Li Hui, a capable assistant, how could he have built such a business within a year.
No matter how strong Fang Zhicheng's personal abilities are, he is just one person. Attracting investment requires teamwork, and Li Hui took on a lot of coordination and management work, which allowed Fang Zhicheng to have no worries.
Li Hui was a little touched and sighed softly, "Director Fang, I am really grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I would not have been able to return to the right path from the original wrong path."
