12th of September.
On the Internet, the news of Distance's capital chain rupture and Li Dong's sale of his assets spread like wildfire.
In the distance, there were also some suppliers who came to ask for payment.
They were mainly small and medium-sized suppliers. These enterprises had poor risk resistance, and if there's a problem with a sum of money, the entire enterprise might go bankrupt.
On the contrary, the manufacturers with the largest transactions were biding their time.
Far away, although there were many problems recently, Li Dong had started to sell his stores.
Far away, there were hundreds of stores and over a thousand delivery points. Furthermore, Dongyu Real Estate also controlled a large amount of land, so the bigger suppliers weren't that worried.
Far away, if something were to happen, they wouldn't be able to sell their assets in a short time.
At the same time, the discussion about Li Dong's original sins was once again stirred up.
The new account that exposed Li Dong's crimes on Weibo also revealed that they had obtained evidence of Li Dong's crimes, and the evidence would soon appear in the eyes of the authorities.
…
12th of the night.
Li Dong stopped Wu Changguo at the Provincial Party Committee's entrance.
Seeing Li Dong squatting on the ground and smoking, Wu Changguo's face changed. If you don't look at his face, who would know that he's a tycoon?
Why did he have to learn from the older generation?
Wu Changguo opened the door and called Li Dong in before he frowned, "Although you're from an ordinary family, there's no need to show it. This is a sign of guilt. Since you've come this far, there's no need to keep it up. "
Li Dong helplessly replied, "Senior, I'm just tired from standing, and I'm not feeling guilty. I've been waiting for you for more than an hour. Don't you get off work on time every day? You're late today, and I should've given you a call. "
Wu Changguo couldn't be bothered to explain and asked, "What's going on? It seemed to me that the distance was not yet at the end of its tether. Yuan Chengdao went to the provincial government to seek help, and the entire Jiangbei's business and political circles were in an uproar. Also, although I don't really believe those things about you on the internet, if you really did commit a crime, I won't cover it up. You'd better not come into contact with me for the next few days. The provincial government has already considered whether to call you for a talk. "
Li Dong said helplessly, "Senior, it's just a groundless accusation. Rich people will naturally be envied by others. Tell me, in the country, how many tycoons don't have scandals? This year, I've offended the villain again and again. What can I do? He was young, didn't have powerful parents to protect him, and didn't want to be associated with others. Who else could he blame for being targeted? It's just money. When I die one day, I'll donate it all. Let's see who'll still be eyeing me then. "
Wu Changguo frowned slightly and said after a while, "Your attitude is too pessimistic. In my opinion, this is all your own doing. Some things just don't make sense. Don't treat everyone as fools. "
Li Dong smiled awkwardly and looked at the driver without saying a word.
Wu Changguo did not say anything else.
When the car arrived at the entrance of the villa, Wu Changguo said, "Let's go in and talk."
Li Dong laughed dryly. "Is it appropriate?"
Wu Changguo ignored him and went straight into the villa.
Is it appropriate?
If it's not appropriate, why are you looking for me today?
Li Dong was waiting at the door. It was obvious that he had something to talk to him about. The car was not appropriate, and other places were not appropriate either. His home was the safest place.
As the head of the Political and Legal Committee, there were not many places in Jiangbei that were safer than Wu Changguo's house for a conversation.
…
Wu Changguo's house was similar to Du Anmin's Villa 7.
Of course, there were still some differences.
Du Anmin's villa was brightly decorated with warm colors. After all, Shen Qian was also living there.
As for Wu Changguo, he felt his vision darken the moment he entered.
The entire living room was mainly black, giving off a murderous aura. Du Anmin's house looked more scholarly.
As soon as Li Dong entered, he heard someone greet him. "You're back?"
"Yes, there's an extra dish for dinner."
"Extra dish? Did something good happen today? "The woman's voice sounded a little surprised.
Wu Changguo was actually a rather rigid person. Every meal at home was the same — three dishes and one soup — no more, no less. There were few accidents.
Today, he came back and said that there would be an extra dish. The woman was naturally a little surprised.
But when she saw someone else enter the door, she immediately understood and said with a smile, "Oh, there's a guest …"
Before she finished speaking, she saw Li Dong's face and was even more surprised. "This is …"
Li Dong smiled and greeted, "Sister Zhang, I'm Li Dong."
Just as he greeted her, Wu Changguo scolded with a straight face, "Impudent. Call me Auntie!"
In fact, Wu Changguo's wife was older than Li Dong's parents.
However, Li Dong chuckled and said, "Senior, you're a senior, so you're of the same generation as me. It's not wrong for me to call you Sister."
Wu Changguo ignored him with a gloomy face, but the woman could not help but laugh. "So it's Li Dong. I was wondering. You guys chat first. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."
It was not her first time meeting Li Dong, but they had never met face to face in the past.
Although Li Dong and Wu Changguo had a good relationship, it was actually his first time visiting Wu Changguo's house.
It was not the first time Li Dong had come to the inner courtyard of the provincial party committee, but he had never visited Wu Changguo because he knew it was not necessary.
The old man was rather antisocial, and people were afraid of him because he was a leader in politics and law. There were very few guests at his house.
Even Li Dong did not dare to come to his house, mainly because he was afraid of being awkward.
However, Li Dong did have something to discuss with him today, so he bit the bullet and followed Wu Changguo in.
After the woman left, Wu Changguo could not help but sigh. "Women."
Looking at his wife's kind smile, it was obvious that Li Dong's way of addressing her was to her liking.
Although Li Dong called Wu Changguo an old man, Wu Changguo was not too old. He was not even as old as Du Anmin, and he was not even 60 years old.
His wife was younger than him, just about 50 years old.
It was not impossible to be addressed as' Big Sister '. Moreover, it was quite comfortable to hear it from Li Dong's mouth.
Li Dong saw him sigh and could not help but chuckle. "Senior, why don't I call you Big Brother in the future?"
"Don't be so talkative. Also, don't try to get close to me. You didn't do anything wrong, and I can't be bothered even if you scold me in front of me. If you do something wrong, even your own brother won't be able to help you. "
Wu Changguo didn't give him too much face. Of course, the fact that he allowed Li Dong to follow him through the door had already shown his attitude.
At this time, it was not suitable for him to get in touch with Li Dong.
Li Dong's "Ten Deadly Sins" included collusion between government officials and businessmen.
Especially the news on Weibo that the other party had already obtained evidence and was about to send it to the inspection agency. At this time, it was necessary to avoid suspicion.
However, Wu Changguo did not care about this.
Li Dong had many shortcomings, and Wu Changguo actually knew that. Even some of the things that were exposed on the Internet had real evidence, and Wu Changguo also knew that.
Li Dong had smashed the Qi family's clubhouse, and it was so big, how could he not know?
Did he not know that Xu Rulong's villa was destroyed?
Of course, it was impossible!
Li Dong had done these things, and Wu Changguo was clear about it.
However, in Wu Changguo's view, Li Dong's integrity was damaged, but he was righteous.
He was enthusiastic about charity. In the past few years, Li Dong had reached out to help Jiangbei and even the whole country when there were major disasters and minor disasters.
Li Dong adopted two girls. With his current status, there was no need for him to do this kind of thing. It was easy to cause trouble.
However, Wu Changguo knew the origins of the two girls.
One was a little girl whose parents died in the flood in Su 'an. Later, she was adopted and begged. The other was a little girl who had aphasia.
For the sake of these two girls, Li Dong had even fought with the mafia boss of Pingchuan.
Wu Changguo had destroyed Li Kai's gang in one fell swoop, so he knew the inside story better than many people.
Wu Changguo did not say anything even when Li Dong had crossed the line when Li Kai was arrested.
It was for no other reason than the fact that Li Dong had not done it for personal gain in the case of Li Kai.
If he really did not care, would Li Kai dare to provoke him?
For Li Dong, offending Li Kai did not have much benefit, but he still did it. For this reason, Wu Changguo trusted him from the bottom of his heart.
As long as he did not lose his righteousness and did not violate the law, Wu Changguo could not be bothered with some gray areas.
At least in the country, there were not many businessmen who did better than Li Dong.
As Wu Changguo spoke, he took off his coat, got up, and said, "Let's go to the study."
"Ok."
Li Dong followed Dong Xuebing into the study. These Provincial Party Committee officials all have their own style, but they all like to talk in the study.
… …
The study.
It was dark inside the study, and Wu Changguo turned on the lights and asked Li Dong to sit down. "Is Xu Rulong's case related to you?"
Li Dong immediately said. "This is slander. If you don't believe me, I can swear!"
Wu Changguo stared at him for a while and nodded. "What about the loan shark incident?"
"Nonsense!" Li Dong was speechless. "Whoever believes me will be stupid. I am doing business, and I earn tens of billions of RMB a year. Why would I be a loan shark? Is there something wrong with my head? If I had the money, I would earn it myself. Why would I lend it to others? "
"What about Feng Jingsong's family?" Wu Changguo continued to ask.
Li Dong replied. "I really don't know how Feng Bin died. You can investigate this yourself.
I am not on good terms with him, and I admit that I was the one who instigated the Fengs' misfortune.
But I did not slander him. The Fengs have always been dishonorable, and they were the cancer of Dongping.
The Fengs fell, and Feng Bin was arrested. On that day, firecrackers were set off in Dongping. You have to give me a certificate of merit.
Later, Feng Jingsong came to Pingchuan to take revenge on me.
As for how he died, I'm sure you've investigated it many times. I won't go into the details.
That's all for the Fengs.
As for the other matters, there is nothing else to say.
I did demolish Xu Rulong's villa, but that is Longhua's property. Hsu Shengzhe did not pursue the matter, and Xu Jianghua also decided to let it go. This matter should not be a big deal.
As for the Qi Family Club, it's even simpler.
The Qi Family smashed my car, and I smashed their club. Of course, their losses are slightly greater than mine. But don't worry, I have settled this matter.
Everyone has suffered losses. Can you sentence me for this?
Of course, I will give you an explanation for the Guanghe Group. Although it has nothing to do with me, I promised to help Hu Wanlin once, and I will handle it properly.
In summary, I admit that I am a little impulsive sometimes, but I have never done anything illegal. "
Wu Changguo glanced at him and said lightly, "What about Zhu Hongtao?"
"Ahem …" Li Dong laughed dryly. "Isn't this case closed long ago? Zhu Hongtao has also served his sentence in prison, and Old Tan has also been in prison for a while. Old Senior, you don't have to go through this, right? "
Wu Changguo frowned. "Big things are accumulated from small things. Although you have handled some of them, and some of them are in the past, you will not be able to escape responsibility. But if it is really pursued, you will not be able to escape responsibility! "
Li Dong was silent. Wu Changguo sighed softly and did not continue talking about this. He changed the topic. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Be careful in the future. Tell me your purpose."
Li Dong coughed lightly. He took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and placed it in front of Wu Changguo.
Wu Changguo did not say anything. He took out his reading glasses and put them on. He flipped through the pages.
After a long time, Wu Changguo heaved a sigh of relief. "Where did it come from?"
"Lanshan Villa. It was left behind by Chen Rui and his son."
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes."
Li Dong nodded and took out a stack of documents from his bag. Wu Changguo took it and looked at it for a while. He frowned slightly. "This is?"
He really did not know what it was, and it was not in Chinese.
Li Dong explained, "It's a Swiss franc bearer bond certificate. It's 50 million, which is almost 300 million yuan. It was found together with the documents in the villa. This is also the reason why Chen Rui has been looking for trouble with me. This time, I want to give this to you, Secretary, in hopes that this matter can be resolved. "
From a senior to a secretary, from a private matter to an official matter, a title could represent everything.
Wu Changguo looked at him deeply. He could roughly guess what happened, and he also knew that this bond certificate might not be the same as the original one.
But these are all trivial matters, as long as the money is still there.
It's good that Li Dong did not embezzle the money. Some things do not need to be investigated, and the result will not be much different.
Wu Changguo placed the two documents together and asked. "What do you want to do?"
"Hu Wanlin will turn herself in soon, and I hope Secretary can take over this case. With these documents and the documents from Governor Chang, I think Chen Rui will not have the chance to bother me in the future. Other than Chen Rui, this matter also involves Governor Jia's wife, Han Yu. I wonder if there will be any trouble for Secretary? If there is, then forget it. But if not, I hope Secretary can help me this once. "
Wu Changguo frowned and asked. "When will Hu Wanlin turn herself in?"
"Just a few days."
"Alright. I will check the documents in the next few days. When she comes, I will pay attention to it."
Li Dong said sincerely. "I'm sorry to trouble you, Senior. I was forced to do this. Someone wanted to plot against me, and I had to retaliate. Also, I have another matter that I would like to ask Senior for a favor. "
Wu Changguo said. "Speak."
"In the next two days, there will be a wave of discussion about me on the internet, and it's about what happened just now. I hope Senior can bring me to the Provincial Hall for a cup of tea. "
"You!"
Wu Changguo's eyes narrowed. "Do you know what will happen?"
"Yes."
Li Dong nodded and said calmly. "It's best if you can detain me for 48 hours. Of course, I hope Senior can make an exception and let me bring my phone in."
Wu Changguo was a little uneasy. Detaining Li Dong for 48 hours was not something that could be done with just a few words.
He could imagine how great the impact would be if he really did it.
Moreover, after this incident, he would probably have to bear the responsibility.
Without any concrete evidence, he led a team to detain Li Dong for 48 hours. What did that mean?
Who was Li Dong? He was the head of a billion-dollar corporation, the richest man in the country!
Far away, the storm was raging. If he detained him, not to mention others, even Qin Hanyuan would be furious.
If he did not look at the big picture, he would definitely be blamed for it.
Li Dong's request seemed simple, but it was not that simple.
Even Han Yu and the other initiators were not confident that they could get Li Dong to stay for a period of time. It was obvious how difficult it was.
Wu Changguo was only the head of a political and legal committee in Jiangbei. He was taking a huge risk by doing this.
Of course, if Li Dong did not react too strongly after the incident, it would not be too serious. But that was after the incident. There was bound to be an accident.
If Li Dong was detained, if something really happened to Fang Yuan, Wu Changguo would have to bear the responsibility.
Wu Changguo frowned and fell into deep thought.
He had high hopes for Li Dong, and he was willing to help Li Dong if it was a small matter.
But detaining Li Dong now was not a small matter.
If he was not careful, Wu Changguo's career would come to an end.
Since he had entered the officialdom and was not even 60 years old, no matter how upright he was, he dared not say that he had no hopes of advancing further.
Of course, Wu Changguo had the same request.
Could he agree to Li Dong's request?
Wu Changguo thought about it. Li Dong did not say a word. He knew that this matter was not that easy.
However, he had no other choice. If he wanted to end the battle quickly, this would be the easiest way.
Otherwise, it would be disadvantageous for Far away if it dragged on. Li Dong might give up on the plan in the end.
How could he give up after putting in so much effort?
On one hand, others might not dare to arrest him. On the other hand, Li Dong did not trust those people.
If he was really arrested, something might go wrong.
Only Wu Changguo could keep him safe, and he could even give orders remotely. If necessary, he could come out and personally command.
After a long time, Wu Changguo said tiredly, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Joy flickered in Li Dong's eyes as he hurriedly said, "I'm sure, Senior. I know this matter will bring you a lot of trouble, but I will explain it to the public afterward. Moreover, I do have some troubles that I need to go in to clear up. If I go in now, these things won't cause me any trouble in the future. Otherwise, it will cause misunderstandings over time. "
Wu Changguo exhaled and said, "When?"
"Tomorrow!"
"So soon?" Wu Changguo frowned again.
Li Dong licked his lips and said, "We have to be fast. Far away will suffer heavy losses if it drags on."
Wu Changguo did not hesitate this time. He nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Thank you." Li Dong stood up and bowed respectfully.
Wu Changguo waved his hand and did not say anything else.
