Chapter 826: Power

Next day.

The mornings of early winter are chilly, but it is also refres.h.i.+ng.

Fei Fan drove Dong Xuebing to the District Party Committee Building in the Audi.

Xiao Zhu, have you gotten the results from the bank? Dong Xuebing looked at Zhu Zhu, who was sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat.

Zhu Zhu immediately turned back with a troubled expression. She found out who Director Dong asked her to check. Secretary Gengs account has two million and one RMB. The bank staff verified that the money was deposited into her account from overseas a few days ago. We cant trace the source.

From overseas? Are you sure?

Yes. I had checked twice.

Ok. Thanks for your hard work.

Its not hard. I brought the transaction details with me. Here.

Zhu Zhu pa.s.sed a brown envelope to Dong Xuebing, and he put it aside without opening it.

Overseas. It seems like someone was trying to frame Geng Yuehua, and this person was trying to cover his tracks.

District Party Committee Building.

District Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary office.

Dong Xuebing, Zhu Zhu, and Fei Fan entered Wu Liangs office.

Secretary Wu. Dong Xuebing calmly said. Sorry to bother you at work. I need to talk to you about something, and I need the District Commission for Discipline Inspection to a.s.sist us with the investigations.

Have a seat. Wu Liang replied. What do you need us to do? We will do our best to cooperate.

Thank you, Secretary Wu. Dong Xuebing sat opposite Wu Liang and pa.s.sed the brown envelope to him. Take a look at this. I was instructed by the City Commission for Discipline to come to Nan Shan District on the pretext of looking into Zhang Huos case. The actual investigation target is Secretary Geng Yuehua. This is her bank account, and the two million RMB inside was from an unknown source.

Zhu Zhu knew about this and was not surprised.

On the other hand, Fei Fan was surprised as he realized they would investigate a District Party Secretary.

Wu Liang was not surprised. He smiled and looked at the doc.u.ment. Director Dong, we knew about this. Its our fault that we did not inform the Citys Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Huh? Dong Xuebing looked at him. You all knew about this?

Wu Liang opened a drawer and took out a report. We did not report to the higher-ups because we found out about this two days ago. Secretary Geng called me to her office and showed me her bank statement from the Construction Bank. She doesnt know what happened, but she suspects someone was trying to frame her. She gave her bankbook to us and asked us to investigate the source of the money. Who had transferred it to her account? He opened another drawer and took out a bankbook. This is the bankbook.

Dong Xuebing looked at it and nodded.

Wu Liang pointed at that doc.u.ment. There is a date on that report. It was the date before yesterday. If Secretary Geng had received bribes, she would not handover her bankbook or informed us. The only reason I can think of is someone is setting her up.

Dong Xuebing thought for a while. This is possible. From what I know, the money was transferred to her account two days ago. Since she immediately reported this unusual transaction, we can rule her out. Secretary Wu, do you have any suspect in mind?

Wu Liang replied. I think it might be Zhang Huo.

Why do you think so?

After Zhang Huo was taken into custody by our Commission for Discipline Inspection, I received more than one threatening call. Secretary Geng had also received threatening calls. I suspect Zhang Huo had asked his relatives or friends to frame Secretary Geng. Of course, we dont have evidence yet. But we should look towards this direction.

Dong Xuebing nodded. Ok. I hope you can a.s.sist us with the follow-up investigation. Oh, can I bring back these doc.u.ments and bankbook?

Sure.

Ok, thats about it. Let us know if you got any leads.

Geng Yuehua reported this to the District Commission for Discipline Inspection two days ago?!

Dong Xuebing knew this was impossible. Geng Yuehua found out about this after he informed her yesterday. She must have done this to lessen the impact. He knew Wu Liang and Geng Yuehua were closed during w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+s time, and he will not expose her. He did not want anything to happen to her. Although the evidence was tempered, the other party tried to frame her.

Along the building corridor.

Dong Xuebing called the City Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary He Shuien. h.e.l.lo, Secretary He. I am Xiao Dong.

Director Dong. He Shuien asked. Do you have the investigation results?

I found out what happened. Dong Xuebing replied. District Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Wu Liang told me that a day before we received the anonymous report, Secretary Geng noticed two million RMB was deposited into her account. She immediately reported it to the District Commission for Discipline Inspection and ordered them to investigate. She also gave her bank book to them. I am holding on to that bank book and the report submitted by Secretary Geng two days ago. She didnt know what was happening, and we suspect this was a setup masterminded by Zhang Huo. After Zhang Huo was arrested, Secretary Geng received several threat calls to her house.

He Shuien asked. She reported it two days ago?

Yes. The District Commission for Discipline Inspection has the records.

He Shuien nodded. I know. It seems like this has nothing to do with Secretary Geng. But we must trace the source of the money and find the culprit. How dare he try to frame a District Party Secretary? Go and investigate.

Yes. I will do my best.

Dong Xuebing was relieved after hanging up. The higher-ups tone had changed, and Geng Yuehua should be safe. Luckily, he had pa.s.sed the message to her in time.

At this moment, Dong Xuebing realized the importance of having power.

If he were not a leader in the City Commission for Discipline Inspection, he would not be able to help Geng Yuehua.
