Ye Ming heard that Xu Lizhong said that the report materials of the cadres of the Beishan Land and Resources Bureau had arrived at the desk of Wang Hao, Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. He knew something was wrong, and beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly asked: "Brother Xu, the chief knows this."
Is something wrong?"
Xu Lizhong was silent for a moment and replied: "The chief just learned about this. He asked me to ask you: Do you know about the 200 million yuan hidden by Chen Mengqi? Have you always been in contact with Chen Mengqi?
Did you contact her only after you took up a position in Beishan? These two questions are very important, please answer them truthfully!"
As soon as Ye Ming heard his two questions, he immediately understood: this call was made to him by his father under the instructions of Xu Lizhong, and maybe his father was beside Xu Lizhong at this moment, listening to him talking to him.
So, he calmed down and answered calmly: "Brother Xu, Chen Mengqi's 200 million yuan was transferred through my hands to Mr. Zhao Tianxing, the general manager of Fuxin Group. As for the origin of the money,
, it’s Chen Mengqi
When Chen Yuanqiao's father, Chen Yuanqiao, was alive, an asset was misappropriated by his subordinate Luo Shaoming. After Chen Yuanqiao committed suicide, the funds were recovered by his subordinate Gong Zhichao and deposited in the bank in the name of Chen Mengqi.
"At that time, Chen Mengqi was unconscious due to excessive grief, so Gong Zhichao handed me the bank card and asked me to keep the funds for Chen Mengqi. I considered that it was not safe for the money to be left in my hands, so I used
In the name of repaying the debt, I transferred the money to the account of Fuxin Group and asked Mr. Zhao to temporarily keep the money for me.
"Later, Chen Mengqi suddenly left City M and went to Australia. I couldn't contact her, and the money was always stored in Mr. Zhao. Therefore, Chen Mengqi didn't know about the money from beginning to end. Until a few days ago, she was used by someone in Beishan
She resorted to violent means to collect debts, and when she was desperate, she had no choice but to seek help from me. Only then did I find out that she had returned to live in Beishan a long time ago.
"It was only then that I told her about the 200 million yuan in funds. At that time, she said she would use it to repay the debts owed by those who raised funds, just because her mother was sick and hospitalized, and I had a lot of things to deal with.
, so there was no time to transfer the money out of Fuxin Group, nor was there time to find the creditors. Now that she was arrested by the M City Public Security Bureau, she was actually unjustly accused!"
Ye Ming's last words are indeed true: During the days when she was with her mother in the hospital, Chen Mengqi told Ye Ming several times that she would find the victims in Beishan, Xinleng, and M City who had not yet asked for their collected funds, and use that money to
200 million yuan to repay their debts. According to her estimation, the total of these debts should not exceed 200 million yuan. Maybe after paying off the debts, there will be some money left for her mother's retirement.
Ye Ming also agreed to her at that time, saying that when the situation in Beishan stabilized and her mother's condition improved, she would immediately go to Zhao Tianxing and ask him to transfer the money, and then go find the creditors one by one and transfer all the money.
All the funds raised were refunded. Unexpectedly, before this plan was implemented, Luo Shaoming took the lead in attacking...
After hearing his explanation, Xu Lizhong asked: "Xiaoye, make your own estimate: After Chen Mengqi arrives at the Public Security Bureau, will he blame everything on you? Will he tell the people in the Public Security Bureau that these two
She has never known about the billions of dollars in funds, and you were the one handling it for her?"
Ye Ming replied flatly: "No, absolutely not! I know her very well. After arriving at the Public Security Bureau, she will definitely take the initiative to take on everything. She would rather go to jail herself than mention a word about me.
.If you don’t believe it, you can ask the interrogators when the time comes and it will become clear!”
Xu Lizhong paused and said a little doubtfully: "I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case! It's been three years since you and Chen Mengqi separated. You and her were lovers at the time, and now that you are married to Chu Chu, doesn't she resent you at all? Besides, she doesn't resent you at all.
, these two hundred million
She had no knowledge of the funds in the first place. As long as she told the truth that you had been keeping the money and never informed her of its existence, she would be free of suspicion. Why should she pay the price of jail time?
Conceal and bear responsibility for you?"
Ye Ming said anxiously: "Brother Xu, believe me, Chen Mengqi will never implicate me. So, please think of a way for me and ask Secretary Guo to come forward and say hello to the people from the M City Public Security Bureau.
The money that Chen Mengqi transferred to Fuxin Group was used to repay their company's loan and was not money laundering or property concealment.
"Furthermore, my reason is also justified: when Jinqiao Group was in crisis, Fuxin Group did lend 200 million yuan to Chen Yuanqiao. This is well-documented. Although the money was immediately returned to Fuxin
Group, but I can ask Mr. Zhao to change the repayment date and say that the borrowed funds were repaid with this money. In this case, it is not Chen Mengqi laundering money and hiding property, but repaying the debt legitimately, and no one can say anything
Got it!"
Xu Lizhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiaoye, please wait a moment. I'll ask the chief for instructions and I'll call you back later!"
Afterwards, he hung up the phone and probably discussed it with Secretary Lu.
A few minutes later, Xu Lizhong called back: "Xiaoye, after listening to the report just now, the chief asked me to tell you: First, whether Chen Mengqi takes the blame herself or puts the blame on you, you can no longer control her.
matter, let alone go to Secretary Guo to intercede for her, so as not to get into trouble again. Second, immediately contact Mr. Zhao of Fuxin Group and ask him to take the initiative to explain the situation to the public security agency and transfer the 200 million yuan in funds
Transfer it out, and the public security organs will be responsible for paying off all the debts of those creditors to prevent them from continuing to petition and cause trouble; third, from now on, you can no longer have any contact with Chen Mengqi and her family. If she is sentenced to jail, you can
Financially support her family, but you must not visit her. After she is released from prison, as long as she no longer associates with you, the chief will arrange a suitable job for her, so that she and her family will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives."
When Ye Ming heard Xu Lizhong mention the last point, he immediately understood: his father wanted to sacrifice Chen Mengqi so that he could get through this difficulty safely. Moreover, in order to completely separate himself from Chen Mengqi, he probably wanted to let Chen Mengqi go to prison.
For a few years, I completely cut off contact with her!
Thinking of this, Ye Ming couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly he couldn't help shouting into the microphone: "No! Chen Mengqi must not go to jail! Brother Xu, please tell Secretary Lu: If Chen Mengqi is sentenced to jail, I will go to the police immediately
Surrender yourself to the authorities and ask them to arrest me and punish me: because I hid the money and it has nothing to do with Chen Mengqi, and I will never let her go to jail unjustly!"
