In the meeting room of the Anxi military headquarters, after Kong Zhenghui finished speaking, he sat back aside and remained silent.
The meeting temporarily entered the discussion stage, and everyone was whispering and discussing the matter.
Although Kong Zhenghui's arguments were well-reasoned and logically consistent, we cannot just listen to his one-sided story. After all, he was accusing the deputy director of the National Bureau of Statistics.
The security department immediately began to screen Zhang Yuan's intelligence and the relevant evidence provided by Kong Zhenghui. Liu Hongxu, Qiu Ge, and Wang Daolin from the police department temporarily left the meeting room and started the investigation.
In less than half an hour, Zhang Yuan's laptop was successfully deciphered by the technical department, and some very important information was sorted out from it.
There is an electronic account book in the computer, which records Zhang Yuan’s various financial transactions. Among them, three large payments were identified. In addition to the amount, three surnames were used to represent the remitters.
Guo!!
After obtaining this information, the technical department began to find a way to decipher the financial transaction software commonly used by Zhang Yuan and the multiple bank accounts he used.
Liu Dongyu, who was brought back from District 2, was also interrogated by Xu Nan, and his confession was consistent with what Kong Zhenghui said.
Soon, Liu Hongxu returned to the conference room. Without saying anything else, he reported directly: "Leaders, we have verified the news from many sources, and it is basically the same as what Kong Zhenghui said."
As he spoke, he sent the relevant information obtained after the investigation to An Zecheng, Tan Hengqiang, and Li Mingsheng.
The three leaders sat there, looking through documents, and the entire conference room was extremely quiet.
After a while, the three of them finished reading the information. Li Mingsheng's face looked unhappy and his brows were furrowed, but he didn't say anything.
Tan Hengqiang lowered his head, thinking about something, and said nothing.
An Zecheng thought for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Old Li, do you think... should we control the person first?"
Li Mingsheng pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "Gu Baishun is different from others. His position is very important... He has a great influence in the Huatong Association. After all, he founded the Wharf Association. Needless to say, his relationship with the Quantong Bureau is also very deep-rooted. After so many years of operation, his network of contacts is deeply rooted. We can't control him without preparation, otherwise it will easily cause a series of chain reactions."
After a pause, he continued, "Since the evidence points to him, let's conduct secret control first and keep the incident and its impact within a controllable range."
An Zecheng and Tan Hengqiang looked at each other and nodded slightly, both agreeing with Lao Li's idea.
Tan Hengqiang pondered for a while, then asked, "So what are you going to do?"
Li Mingsheng intervened and said, "Let's leave this matter to Su Tianbei and Lu Feng. Outsiders should not interfere. Let the Quantong Bureau handle this matter as much as possible. This is more appropriate."
An Zecheng followed suit and said, "I agree."
Tan Hengqiang didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
As far as the National Bureau of Statistics is concerned, neither Tan Hengqiang nor An Zecheng has much say, after all, it is a department under the Li faction.
So, after a while, Su Tianbei and Lu Feng were secretly called to the military conference room of the An faction.
Both of them knew about Yu Mingyuan's attack, and their faces looked unhappy when they entered the meeting room.
After a brief greeting, Su Tianbei sat down and asked anxiously, "Leaders, who did this? Have you found out?"
An Zecheng soothed him, "Don't worry, I asked you to come here just to discuss this matter."
Su Tianbei gritted his teeth and controlled his emotions: "Okay, you say."
Dabai and Xiaoyu were attacked one after another, which had already caused a great blow to Su Tianbei. Now it was Yu Mingyuan's turn. He was extremely angry at this time. Although the relationship between the two was very tense for a while, since the end of the Shengbao City incident, the knot between him and Mingyuan was untied.
But now is not the time to vent his emotions. Su Tianbei suppressed his inner anger, sat in the chair, and waited for the leader to speak.
Lu Feng also silently coiled his Buddhist beads without saying a word.
"Let me tell you." Li Mingsheng put his hands in front of them, looked at the two of them, and said to them in a calm voice: "Next, you should do this..."
The two of them immediately sat up straight and listened carefully to every word.
Li Mingsheng personally talked to the two of them for more than two hours and began to plan the control issues.
That night, the Security Department was very busy. In contrast, the National Bureau of Statistics was very quiet.
The An system did not inform the Quantong Bureau about Zhang Yuan's matter, so the other party naturally did not send anyone over.
…
The next morning, in the compound of the Quantong Bureau.
In the deputy director's office, Gu Baishun woke up early, simply washed his face and brushed his teeth, then sat at his desk and began to maintain his figures.
Although these figures are exquisite, they need regular maintenance, otherwise they will age and turn yellow.
Gu Baishun is very patient and does the maintenance work very carefully, paying attention to every detail.
“Boom boom boom.”
There was a sudden knock on the office door, and Gu Baishun said without even looking up, "Come in."
“Squeak—”
The door was pushed open and Guo Zhengdao walked in tiredly.
It seemed that because he hadn't slept all night, Guo Zhengdao's eyes were red and bloodshot. He walked quickly to Gu Baishun and whispered, "Director Gu... Last night at the An Department, the three big guys held a meeting all night long."
Gu Baishun continued to wipe the dust off the figurine and nodded gently: "Yeah."
Guo Zhengdao stood by, looking at Gu Baishun's indifferent expression, thinking for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Baishun, some roads can't be turned back once you walk on them... I think you should...!"
Gu Baishun finally raised his head, glanced at Guo Zhengdao, and interrupted, "Haha, why do you say that?"
The two looked at each other, and Guo Zhengdao's heart was extremely complicated. At this moment, he had a lot of words in his mind, but after hesitating again and again, he still didn't say them out loud.
After a pause, Guo Zhengdao sighed and said, "Forget it, it's nothing."
Gu Baishun had already understood his thoughts, slowly put down the figurine, and said lightly: "Sooner or later, this step will come. Many times, the right to choose is not in the hands of the person involved."
Guo Zhengdao nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Gu Baishun waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead and do what you need to do."
"Got it. I'll be leaving first then."
"Um."
Guo Zhengdao pushed open the office door and walked out with a complicated expression.
After he left, Gu Baishun picked up the figurine on the table, carefully put it back on the cabinet, and gently closed the cabinet door.
Gu Baishun quietly admired his rows of figures for a while. After a long time, he returned to his desk, opened the drawer, and took out a very old-fashioned small cell phone.
This model is sturdy and durable, but it is rarely circulated on the market.
Gu Baishun skillfully opened the back cover of his phone, took out a new card, and inserted it. Then he walked to the window and dialed a number.
The call was quickly connected, and a man's voice rang out: "Hello?"
Gu Baishun pondered for a while, then slowly said: "It's still that matter..."
While they were talking, Gu Baishun looked through the window and saw several Anxi military vehicles suddenly coming downstairs.
