If they really knew that Elder Qin was behind the Tianlong Group, they'd probably cower instantly.

"Comrade Renli, this is not a problem we should be concerned about. Doing our job well is more important than anything else."

"Understood, Governor."

"Well then, Comrade Renli, you should get some rest."

After saying that, Chen Luo hung up the phone, stretched, and, as if a pillow had been delivered to him when he was sleepy, slept very soundly that night.

However, human joys and sorrows are not shared. In the president's office of Tianlong Group Building, Pei Yun frowned as he watched the accusations against Tianlong Group on the Internet grow louder and louder.

"Li Jiachen, you mad dog, why are you biting people indiscriminately? And those videos, how dare you do such taboo things?"

After grumbling and cursing, Pei Yun lay back down in his chair and sighed heavily. Tianlong Group had been flawless until Li Jiachen's scheme exposed everything…

If nothing unexpected happens, Wu Qiguang will be formally placed under investigation, and the charge of accepting bribes cannot be cleared.

Human nature is complex, and Pei Yun really didn't dare to gamble that Wu Qiguang could keep quiet during interrogation.

After thinking it over, Pei Yun decided to ask Li Jiachen herself what she was planning to do.

She took out her phone and made a call. It was already 10 p.m., but Li Jiachen in Hong Kong was still not resting.

Seeing that the caller was Pei Yun, Li Jiachen couldn't help but smile knowingly. Sure enough, dragging the other party into this mess was a good move. The fact that he was calling her so late at night meant he was in a hurry.

"Good evening, Mr. Pei!"

"Mr. Li, that's not fair!"

Pei Yuncai didn't have time to test Li Jiachen; he went straight to the point with an accusation.

Li Jiachen was quite composed and didn't get angry. Instead, she calmly asked, "What are you saying, President Pei? When have I been unkind?"

"Mr. Li, do I need to remind you of the video evidence your family released this afternoon?"

This is taboo!

Hearing this, Li Jiachen smiled.

"President Pei, are you teaching me how to do things?"

If that's the case, then I'm sorry, but what about taboos and taboos? Isn't it up to you mainlanders to decide?

Your Tianlong Group is a large and powerful company with deep connections.

Over the years, Tianlong Group has basically acquired all the prime land plots at low prices.

But what if our Li family wants to acquire two plots of land?

Not only do you have to beg and plead, but you also have to give gifts today and treat people to meals tomorrow.

Even so, our Li family still caught the attention of the provincial government, which was worth tens of billions!

I simply can't swallow this insult!

Since the Li family is getting nowhere, Mr. Pei, why don't you join forces with Tianlong Group to help us out?

After all... to be honest, it's not that I'm going too far...

Your Tianlong Group has gone even further!

To put it bluntly, Wu Qiguang is nothing more than a dog of the Tianlong Group, and he's not innocent!

Hearing this, Pei Yun fell silent for a moment.

"Don't tell me you don't know why your Li family has been targeted by the provincial government."

Our Tianlong Group does have some connections, making it easy to acquire land at low prices, but we haven't evaded any taxes.

Once they acquired the land, they worked diligently on construction, and high-rise buildings rose from the ground, providing housing in various communities. Meanwhile, the Li family treated the land like a financial product, holding onto it tightly and waiting for the price to rise so they could sell at a loss.

This not only slows down the pace of urban development but also affects the city's overall layout and planning. Mr. Li, your family is being targeted by the provincial government because you are too greedy!

Lies never hurt anyone; the truth is the sharpest knife.

Li Jiachen's initially calm state of mind was shattered by Pei Yun's few words.

"Shut up! You just want to say that our Li family's current predicament is self-inflicted! Fine, then your Tianlong Group isn't any better. We're all the same."

"Heh, I called you to settle our score, but I didn't expect President Li to hate our Tianlong Group so much. So I'll be frank, we're not the same!"

Tianlong Group invested all its profits in domestic infrastructure construction and deposited them in its own banks.

Your Li family, on the other hand, reaped the wealth of the mainland and transferred it to the British Empire. Even if the meat rots, it will still be in the pot. Saying that your Li family sold out their ancestors for personal gain is absolutely correct!

I also told you!

Don't think that using a few videos to get the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate Wu Qiguang will affect our Tianlong Group. Like a dog that has fallen into the water, it's like it's gone mad and wants to bite anyone.

"Ha, aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth!"

"Pei Yun! You!"

"Me? You old bastard, shut up! You've disgraced your Li family for eighteen generations. You're used to being a dog of foreigners, aren't you?"

"You want to bite my butt a couple of times from a distance?"

"you you you!"

"Me? I'm your dad! Fuck!"

After saying that, Pei Yun hung up the phone. His depressed mood suddenly felt much better. It felt great!

Meanwhile in Hong Kong, Li Jiachen stared at the phone in disbelief. He had actually been insulted like that?

Still in this humiliating way?

"Tianlong Group! You forced me into this!"

Clenching her teeth, Li Jiachen was completely enraged.

The next morning, not only domestic media turned their attention to Tianlong Group, but even some international newspapers and magazines began to publish information about Tianlong Group's privileges.

Li Jiachen went even further, saying that the mainland is bullying people whose nationality is not Chinese, and demanding that people from Guangdong be treated equally.

The Guangdong provincial government's response was simple: the facts are still under investigation, and they can only intervene after the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) has reached its investigation conclusion.

After much back and forth, it all comes down to what Wu Qiguang can come up with.

The temporary office building of the Guangdong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and its working group. This was Wu Qiguang's first time here. Only one night had passed between the release of the video and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's opinion to first regulate him.

Inside the detention room, Zhong Xiaoai calmly looked at Wu Qiguang in front of her.

"Comrade Wu Qiguang, it seems you're not so lucky. We've met again after only a few days."

Zhong Xiaoai's words pierced Wu Qiguang's heart like a thorn. He never expected that one day he would follow in the footsteps of Pang Bo and others.

However, he still comforted himself, thinking that it would be difficult to convict someone based solely on a video, and even if he were convicted, admitting to the amount shown in the video wouldn't warrant a prison sentence of more than ten years.

Slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, Wu Qiguang sat on the bed, looked up at Zhong Xiaoai, shook his head and said, "Well, nobody knows whether tomorrow will bring good fortune or misfortune. But as for the bribery incident in the video, I'm sorry, I don't remember anything about it."

As people get older, their memory isn't as good, and they can't recall the specific details anymore. I guess my personality didn't accept it.

Of course, if the disciplinary committee finds substantial evidence, then I will plead guilty and accept punishment!

Chapter 443 The End of Hengda Group

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai rolled her eyes. "We already have substantial evidence. Do we still need you to plead guilty and accept punishment?"

"Comrade Wu Qiguang, I think you won't give up until you've hit rock bottom!"

Wu Qiguang smiled brightly, "Comrade Xiao Ai, I have to criticize you for saying that."

Although the leaked videos are very detrimental to me, I haven't been expelled from the Party yet.

Even without trial, we're still comrades.

They used the phrase "I won't give up until I reach the Yellow River" to mock, attack, and ridicule me.

This is not something a gay man would do.

Just as I won't use your shameful past to humiliate you!

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai's face turned slightly pale. Her past was indeed somewhat unbearable, but after calming down, Zhong Xiaoai's gaze turned cold.

"Wu Qiguang, are you provoking me?"

"I wouldn't dare... You are a member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the director of the Eighth Supervision and Inspection Office."

Your father is a retired deputy-level cadre, and your grandfather... is an old revolutionary and hero. No one would dare offend Comrade Xiao Ai!

Looking at Wu Qiguang's squinting smile, Zhong Xiaoai felt a nameless anger burning within her. Knowing that one shouldn't expose someone's weaknesses, Zhong Xiaoai was too lazy to continue arguing with him.

"You'd better stay put. Refusing to cooperate won't end well!"

After saying that, Zhong Xiaoai left the detention room.

Chen Luo was unaware of the working group's investigation. He had just inspected Tianlong Group two days ago, and this morning he took Tang Ning, Qiu Kai, and the entire auditing team straight to Shenzhen.

We arrived in Shenzhen at nine in the morning.

Kang Jingmin, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee, personally received Chen Luo and his entourage at the highway exit.

"Governor Chen, Comrade Tang Ning, Comrade Qiu Kai, welcome to Shenzhen for inspection!"

After shaking hands, Chen Luo glanced at his watch and then reminded them, "It's getting late, Comrade Jingmin, Comrade Tang Ning, Comrade Qiu Kai, let's continue our journey."

"no problem!"

The three naturally agreed, and the convoy continued towards downtown Shenzhen until it stopped in front of a building.

The entire building looked quite impressive, but Chen Luo's expression wasn't too good. He had already learned a bit about Hengda Group beforehand; they were known for their extravagant spending!

The group originally had a headquarters in Guangzhou, but the rise of Tianlong Group made it impossible for two tigers to share the same mountain in Guangzhou, so Hengda Group moved to Shenzhen.

Nearly half of the building has been leased out, and a new group headquarters is under construction in the bay area, with a planned height of over 400 meters. Despite being heavily indebted, they are spending money recklessly.

As the saying goes, if it's not your own money, you won't know how to cherish it.

As Chen Luo and his entourage's convoy came to a stop, a group of senior executives from Hengda Group were already waiting downstairs at the building.

At the very front is Xu Yin, the group's chairman.

After watching Chen Luo and the others get out of the car, Xu Yin smiled and jogged forward, accurately finding Chen Luo and then extending both hands, saying, "Governor Chen, welcome, welcome!"

"I am Xu Yin, Chairman of the Group. I heard that you were bringing provincial leaders to inspect our work, so I even canceled my business trip to wait for your arrival!"
