Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 865 A call from Mr. Kou!

"Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!"

At around nine o'clock the next morning, the phone in Wu Aiguo's office suddenly rang. Wu Aiguo, who was reading a document, heard the phone ringing. Without even raising his head, he reached out and picked up the receiver, and asked politely, "Hello! I'm Wu Aiguo. Who is this?"

"Aiguo! I heard that people from the disciplinary inspection department went to your Trade Department to investigate you yesterday. Is this true?" As soon as Wu Aiguo finished asking, the voice of General Manager Kou came over the phone.

When Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's question, he showed a surprised expression on his face. He smiled and asked Mr. Kou, "Mr. Kou! How did you know that people from the disciplinary supervision department came to our Trade Department to investigate me?"

When Mr. Kou heard Wu Aiguo's question, he thought of his source and introduced him to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Your Trade Department is a key department in our Jingdong City. As soon as the investigation team left your Trade Department, I received the report."

Mr. Kou paused for a moment and then introduced Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! After I received the news yesterday, I immediately called the disciplinary inspection department to find out the reason for the investigation against you. The disciplinary inspection department replied that they would conduct a routine inspection on you only after receiving the report letter."

After hearing what Mr. Kou said and thinking about the information he had at hand, Wu Aiguo couldn't help but sneer, "Mr. Kou! You just said that our Trade Department is a key department. Under normal circumstances, if the disciplinary inspection department wants to investigate me, shouldn't they report to the State Council first and wait for approval before investigating me?"

"As a result, the disciplinary inspection department bypassed the State Council and sent people to our Trade Department, accusing me, Wu Aiguo, of abusing my power for personal gain and using the bicycles I exchanged from Fei Ge Bicycle Factory to enrich myself and engage in speculation. They also checked all my accounts from the establishment of our Trade Department to the present."

"But true gold is not afraid of fire. Those people checked all the accounts related to me, but in the end they found nothing. I asked them to give me an explanation, but the person in charge of the team was vague and deliberately shirked responsibility."

"Boss Kou! Do you think they are really conducting a routine investigation on me because they received a letter of complaint? Do you think I would believe such a thing?"

When Mr. Kou heard what Wu Aiguo said, he immediately realized that the investigation against Wu Aiguo was not as simple as he had imagined.

At this time, Mr. Kou quickly thought of someone and immediately asked Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Do you think this matter is related to the You family?"

When the investigation team just arrived yesterday, Wu Aiguo also thought that the You family was taking revenge on him. Later, after he sent people to conduct a follow-up investigation, he found that this investigation against him had nothing to do with the You family.

When Wu Aiguo heard what Mr. Kou said, he immediately replied, "Mr. Kou! At first I also thought it was the You family, but after I arranged for someone to investigate, I found out that this matter had nothing to do with the You family."

"Aiguo! Since you have nothing to do with the You family, who do you think is targeting you?" Mr. Kou asked Wu Aiguo immediately after hearing his analysis. Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's question and thought of his investigation results yesterday. He reminded Mr. Kou with a gloomy face: "Mr. Kou! Who gave the order to investigate me? Who is the person behind this? As for why that person sent someone to investigate me, if I tell you the truth, you will probably be shocked."

When Mr. Kou heard what Wu Aiguo had said, he thought of the man who had advocated investigating Wu Aiguo, and his brows knitted together. He asked Wu Aiguo in a serious tone, "Aiguo! From what you said, can I assume that there is something wrong with Chen Guobin?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou mention Chen Guobin, he was surprised and asked Mr. Kou: "Mr. Kou! How did you know it was Chen Guoping?"

When Mr. Kou heard Wu Aiguo's question, he answered without thinking: "Because he provided the report letter, and he used it as an excuse to be responsible for you, he suggested sending someone to the Trade Department to investigate you."

When Wu Aiguo heard what Mr. Kou said and thought about the situation he had at hand, he said to Mr. Kou with a serious face, "Mr. Kou! Not long after the people who investigated me went back yesterday, Chen Guobin left the company and went to a teahouse."

"Chen Guobin had not been sitting in the teahouse for long when the owner of a coffin shop opposite the teahouse came in and sat down next to Chen Guobin. The two did not seem to know each other, but they were communicating privately. Later, Chen Guobin left not long after he sat there."

When Mr. Kou heard what Wu Aiguo had said, he felt that the exchange between Chen Guobin and the coffin shop owner was like a conversation between spies. A terrible thought immediately came to Mr. Kou's mind, and he instinctively asked, "Aiguo! Are you saying that Chen Guobin is an enemy spy? How is that possible? And how did you get these clues?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's question, he thought of the enemy's conspiracy against him and answered with certainty, "Mr. Kou! What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to a room in the backyard of the coffin shop to check it out. The entrance to the basement is on the kang in that room."

When Mr. Kou heard what Wu Aiguo had said, he stood up from his desk and asked Wu Aiguo in a serious tone, "Aiguo! Are you sure all this is true? And why didn't you report this important matter earlier?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's question and thought of his plan, he answered, "Mr. Kou! At present, I only know that there is a problem between Chen Guobin and the owner of the coffin shop. As for whether they have other accomplices, I haven't found out yet, so I haven't reported it."

Although it was unclear how Wu Aiguo found these clues, Chen Guobin was not an ordinary person after all. Considering this, Mr. Kou immediately said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! I must report this matter immediately. After all, Chen Guobin is not an ordinary person."

Wu Aiguo subconsciously nodded when he learned of Mr. Kou's plan, and replied, "Mr. Kou! You decide for yourself! In addition, there are radio stations and a large number of weapons stored in the basement of the coffin shop. If the relevant departments want to carry out the arrest operation, you must remember to remind them to be careful."

When Mr. Kou heard Wu Aiguo's instructions, he smiled and replied, "Aiguo! Don't worry! Professional matters should be handled by professionals. Just wait for my good news!"
