Because Lin Yinghui was temporarily transferred to the government audit department. Director Qian values him greatly. The recent important matters have all passed through his hands.
When Shen Xinghe arrived at the office, the people from the Anti-Corruption Bureau were also there, collecting evidence.
After stating his purpose, Shen Xinghe roughly asked about the situation.
It turned out that a colleague in their unit, while helping her tidy up her desk, accidentally found a thousand yuan in his book folder.
The key point was that there was also a note inside.
"Please take care of my Wei Shanâs job." Thatâs what it said.
This colleague reacted to the director, and the director immediately reported it to the higher-ups.
Of course, the person who found the money on Lin Yinghuiâs desk was Ye Qing. At this moment, the staff of the Anti-Corruption Bureau was questioning her.
Ye Qing had been quite smug these past two days. Although the shop owned by Lin Wanâs family wasnât closed down, she managed to get Lin Yinghui into the police station by sheer luck.
She knew Lin Wan knew quite a few government people in S City, so to make the situation more serious, she pinned a crime on Lin Yinghui.
This matter, she had stumbled upon a few days ago when someone secretly met with the director after work. At that time, as she was leaving work and passing by the directorâs office, she inadvertently overheard a cryptic conversation.
She didnât pay attention at the time, but the next day, when she was cleaning the directorâs office, she saw an envelope in an inconspicuous drawer. When she opened it, it turned out to be money.
When Ye Qing saw a white note, her eyes flashed with an idea. Thatâs how she came up with this plan.
She secretly placed the note and the money on Lin Yinghuiâs desk.
This kind of thing isnât something that can be exposed, so even if the director discovered the money was missing, he wouldnât dare to raise a fuss.
So, as long as she "accidentally" found it the next day and went to the director, the director would undoubtedly be angry.
With so much money not going into his pocket, his anger was predictable.
It must be said, she felt very lucky these past few days. Everything seemed to be going smoothly!
After understanding the situation, Shen Xinghe hurried to Liang Hongmeiâs house.
He explained the situation to Liang Hongmei.
"A female colleague at his unit found a note and a thousand yuan of illicit money from his seat. Thatâs why his director reported it to the upper management."
"A thousand yuan? Our family isnât short of this thousand yuan, Ah Hui wouldnât do such a thing." He even said not long ago that he wanted to perform well at work and hoped to move up in two years.
"I also find this matter suspicious. One of my old friends is our police leader. He said he would discuss Lin Yinghuiâs case with the higher-ups. If it could be transferred to his jurisdiction, the matter would be easier to handle. Also, I found out that a woman from Z City made the report call, do you have any grudges with people from Z City?"
"...No... Ah, right, my sonâs partner is from Z City. I heard from Ah Hui that her parents seemed not to agree with their relationship. His Second Uncle, could it be...?"
Shen Xinghe clapped his hands, saying, "That connects the dots, it must be her parents who reported it. Do you have a phone number for Z City? If so, it would be best to call and discuss."
"I..." Liang Hongmei furrowed her brows and thought for a moment, then said, "Xiao Wan should know, Iâll call Xiao Wan right away."
"Yes. Letâs not rush this matter. Since itâs currently with the Anti-Corruption Bureau, thereâs still room for maneuver. Itâs best for us to first gather evidence to prove that Ah Hui didnât take the money."
"How do we find evidence? We donât know any government people, and we donât know who was bribing."
"I saw the note, it said someone named Wei Shan. Iâll ask around to see how many people in our city have the name Wei Shan."
Liang Hongmei nodded, now unsure of what to do herself. "By the way, whatâs the name of the person who found the note and money, can we find her?"
"Seems like her surname is Ye, I think finding her wonât be of much use, the key issue is with the person who bribed."
Upon hearing the surname Ye, Liang Hongmei immediately thought of Ye Qing. Doesnât she also work in a government department?
While Liang Hongmei was deep in thought, Shen Xinghe had already left to investigate.
"Aunt Liang, donât worry. Iâll follow Second Uncle Shen to check the situation." Li Congnan saw Shen Xinghe was alone, so he quickly followed him.
Two people handling things will always be faster.
"Alright, alright, thank you both." Liang Hongmei finally came to her senses and saw them off at the door.
She couldnât see her son now, and what Second Uncle Shen said was right, they needed to quickly find evidence.
With this thought, Liang Hongmei hurried to her daughterâs room to call her daughter.
Who knew, it was her son-in-law who answered the phone.
"Mom, how are things over there?"
"Xiao Yi? Whereâs Xiao Wan?"
"Xiao Wan took the morning train back today."
"She came back? That kid, how could she leave when thereâs no one over there, coming back solves nothing."
"Mom, thereâs not much left on my side, I can move around. Plus, there are guards here. Letting Xiao Wan go back might actually help find a solution."
Liang Hongmei sighed and recounted the recent events to Han Yi.
"So youâre saying itâs possible that the report came from Mu Qingâs parents?"
"Your Second Uncle thinks so. Thatâs why Iâm calling, originally to ask Xiao Wan. She should know Mu Qingâs number over there. It would be great if Mu Qing could make a trip here."
"Mom, Mu Qing is on a mission recently, and isnât in Z City. Iâll handle contacting Z City and also check on this person named Wei Shan. A friend of mine handles household registrations."
"Alright, get in touch with your friend right away." Liang Hongmei only remembered that it was Xiao Yi who found someone to help transfer the household registration last time.
Han Yi comforted Liang Hongmei with a few words, hung up the phone, and then called Zheng Youmin.
...
In the evening, Lin Yinghui, who had been unconscious for a whole day and night, woke up and found himself not in his original location.
After getting up, the pain all over his body made him curse inwardly, "Damn it, if I donât sue them to death once I get out."
Despite saying this, he was still irritated with his own weakness. If he had known this day would come, he would have learned a few moves from Han Yi.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he suddenly heard a noise outside. Not knowing the situation, Lin Yinghui quickly lay back on the bed and pretended to be unconscious.
Another person nodded and said, "Letâs talk about it tomorrow. Weâve already collected evidence today. If he wakes up tomorrow, weâll start the examination."
"I guess theyâll have to call the doctor again tomorrow."
After that person gave an acknowledgment, the two turned around and left.
The sealed iron door was closed tightly again. In the dark, Lin Yinghui opened his eyes, full of doubts.
Just now, he observed that these two were clearly not from the police department.
While Lin Yinghui lay on the bed puzzled, one of the people just then had already left the office building and was heading to Zhang Hanfuâs house.
... When Lin Wan arrived home, it was the next morning.
At that time, Mom was anxiously pacing at home.
"Mom, howâs it going?"
"Xiao Wan, your brother has now been taken away by the Anti-Corruption Bureau..." Liang Hongmei didnât care whether Lin Wan was tired or not, and quickly told her about the incidents of the past two days.
"Xiao Wan, when our shop got into trouble, I saw Ye Qing. Now your brother is reported for bribery, and the colleague who discovered it is also named Ye. Isnât Ye Qing working in a government department too? Do you think it could be her?"
Lin Wanâs expression turned cold as she snorted, "Itâs very likely her. My brother might not have told you, but Ye Qing is currently working in the same department as him."
"Ah, so it really is her. Xiao Wan, how could she be so heartless, always looking for ways to trouble us? Now she wants to ruin your brother. Xiao Wan, tell me where she lives. Iâll go confront her right now, that ungrateful wretch!" When it comes to her sonâs matter, Liang Hongmei was now agitated and had lost her usual gentleness.
"Mom, Iâll deal with this. Ye Qing, this time, I wonât be as soft-hearted as last time. Just wait."
Right then, Shen Xinghe and Li Congnan arrived, saying they found that person named Wei Shan.
"There are twenty people in our city with this name. Over the next two days, I asked my friend at the police station to investigate them one by one."
