Chapter 928 No One Could Resist the Hands of the State
No one could resist the hands of the state
“Wuwuwu.” At this moment, Secretary Fang Cheng, who used to be high and mighty, didn’t even have the strength to stand up. His tears and nose turned into a coward as soon as he took off. His entire body trembled in fear like autumn leaves. In the end, he was almost carried onto the car and quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Before the news of the CCBV came out, other media could not broadcast the news of Fang Cheng being taken away. Just like Mu Zhengtang at that time, such high-ranking officials were taken away silently. When it was almost confirmed that there was indeed corruption, Jian Dan would say in the media: XX was taken away for investigation.
Who knew how many saber-lights and sword-shadows there were behind Jian Dan’s words?
The reporter circle was always the first window to know the news. There were always reporters at the airport. The news that Fang Cheng was taken away at the airport to investigate immediately spread throughout the reporter circle, and then spread throughout the bureaucracy: Zhonghai City, Deputy Secretary, and Fang Cheng were taken away to investigate.
Naturally, not a single media outlet would report that such reports of officials being taken away for investigation required authorization to be written. However, the foreign media were not under control. For a moment, Hook Village was on an important page of the overseas media: the bloodbath caused by Hook Village.
Hook Village was lit up again.
Brother Biao smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a crack. This project had started too perfectly. Gao Leng was his excellent co-operation, excellent, none of them.
Returning to the imperial capital, it was still after work. Gao Leng went to Xingsheng Magazine. During this period of time, he had accumulated a lot of work, so he could not forget his own work. As soon as we get to the office, it’s just in time for the employees to get off work.
“President Gao, good.”
“President Gao, congratulations.”
“President Gao, when are you going to take us to Hook Village to play?”
Colleagues greeted him one after another. They had no connection with Gao Leng about Fang Cheng’s arrest. Their focus was still on this 20-year-old general manager. Apart from Xingsheng’s general manager, he also had a few hundred million hook village projects on hand.
Hundreds of millions of dollars. Everyone’s faces were filled with envy and flattery.
Especially the reporters who had interviewed with Gao Leng and were still at the bottom of the ranks only a year ago. If they were jealous at first, their jealousy now vanished. If you were strong, others would think that you were being petty.
“Boss.” Jane Xiaodan hurried over and said, “Xiaoleng has been in your office all afternoon. She didn’t ask me to tell you she was here for fear of interfering with your work.”
Gao Leng nodded and quickly walked to his office. When he reached the door, he saw that Secretary Guan Guan was ready to pack up and get off work. When he saw that Gaoleng was coming, he immediately put the things on the ground and bent down, “President Gao.”
“You can get off work.” Gaoleng nodded and pushed the door open.
“You’re here.” Inside the room, Mu Xiaoleng sat quietly on the sofa. She put a loose pigtail on her shoulder. Her plain face was slightly red. The moment she saw Gaoleng, her body immediately emitted a sweet and worshipful smell.
This smell belonged to Mu Xiaoleng, which made Gaoleng feel at ease when he looked at it.
“You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I made you something to eat.” Mu Xiaoleng opened the heat preservation box that he had brought over. There were some dumplings standing neatly inside. The colorful dumpling skin looked very unique. “This is a vegetable skin dumpling. This is a tomato, not a pigment. It’s a noodle kneaded with vegetable juice.”
Xiaoleng gently picked up one and dipped it in the sauce. “These are pork cabbage pies, these are vegetarian pies, and these are shrimp pies. You ate them all, so they’re well-balanced.”
Gaoleng looked at the box that only had thirty dumplings added together. There were so many different styles from dumpling skin to pie. It could be seen that she had put in a lot of effort.
“Delicious.” Gaoleng was indeed a little hungry. He lowered his head and took a few minutes to finish this pot of dumplings. It took Mu Xiaoleng four hours to make these dumplings, and he ate them for four minutes.
“You like it, I’ll make it for you every day.” Mu Xiaoleng looked at the empty lunch box and smiled. She seemed to have something on her mind. She pursed her lips and wanted to say something, “I heard… I heard…”
“Fang Cheng has been taken away for investigation. Your father’s guilt can be cleared by at least half.” Seeing her hesitant expression, Gaoleng reached out and held her in his arms, “I’ll do my best.”
The best feeling is that someone understands your hesitation.
Mu Xiaoleng was wrapped in Gaoleng’s arms, her long eyelashes trembling and moist. After a long time, she said softly, “Thank you.”
“You’re starting school today, aren’t you?” Gaoleng suddenly remembered that Mu Xiaoleng had started school these two days. He pinched her round face and said, “Are you a junior? Have you finished the formalities?”
“Yes.” Mu Xiaoleng lowered her head. Gaoleng couldn’t see her expression clearly. She arched in his arms, “I can’t live outside anymore. I’m a third major. The tutor told me to stay in the dormitory.” Mu Xiaoleng had lived outside since he was a college student. The school dormitory was simple and crude. How could Mu Zhengtang bear to let his beloved daughter live in the dormitory? The small apartment in the imperial capital was close to the school for the convenience of their daughter’s schooling. Now that he was arrested, the small apartment was naturally sealed.
“Is someone making things difficult for you?” Gaoleng asked.
Mu Xiaoleng shook his head, “No, and students should be staying in the dormitory. I will be staying at home on the weekend, our home.” As she spoke, her ears turned red with embarrassment. Mu Xiaoleng had long been used to living with Gaoleng. It was safer to have a family. Especially in this state, her parents were detained. If it weren’t for Gaoleng protecting her, countless crying nights would have been filled with helplessness and despair.
Dingdong, Jian Xiaodan sent a text message, “Two officials of Shen Mu Zhengtang committed suicide just now, one hanging himself and the other jumping off the building.”
Gaoleng immediately opened his group of friends to take a look. The news spread all over the place. Thinking about it, he knew who these two people were. However, they were officials who Gaoleng had found all the evidence of money laundering overseas and committed suicide in fear of being guilty. This was only the tip of the iceberg that had been uncovered. Gaoleng had uncovered it, leaving the rest to the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Tiger Fighting Office. In these past few years, with such great efforts, the mysterious members of the Tiger Fighting Office were the real experts in catching corruption. Fang Cheng was doomed.
What about Mu Zhengtang?
Gaoleng looked at Mu Xiaoleng, who was quietly nest in her arms. She loved herself wholeheartedly, and now Gaoleng was like her lifeline, like the lifeline of her family. Mu Zhengtang was pulled back by Gaoleng. He knew that his evidence could clear Mu Zhengtang of one-half of the crimes. Otherwise, with 200 million yuan of corruption and so many big projects, he would undoubtedly die.
However, there was still one-half left?
A hundred million yuan of corruption, and the main responsibility of several major projects has been cleared, then what about the remaining one hundred million yuan? What about some other small projects?
Mu Zhengtang, is he really corrupt?
This determined whether the Mu Xiaoleng in his arms was the daughter of a high official or a corrupt official. As for this, Gaoleng could not decide. Everything could only depend on whether Mu Zhengtang was truly honest or not.
No one could resist the hands of the state.
