Lu Guanwang had to say that because he saw the murderous intent in Ling Yun's eyes the moment he raised his head!
Lu Guanwang was afraid of death, but he was even more afraid of his son's death.
He only had one son, Lu Chengtian. If Lu Chengtian died, the family line would be broken.
"Tell me how much money you have first …" Tang Meng said calmly.
Lu Guanwang lowered his head and rolled his eyes. He blurted out, "Six million …"
"Pa!"
Tang Meng slammed the coffee table in front of him with his left hand and shouted, "Bullsh * t!"
Ling Yun frowned slightly and turned to glare at Tang Meng. "Why did you make such a big fuss if you want to ask?"
Lu Guanwang was so scared that his whole body trembled. He raised his head carefully and said with a pale face, "Nine … Nine million!"
Tang Meng was getting impatient. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and laid down on the sofa lazily. "Hmph, you were quite cooperative just now. I didn't expect you to play this game now. Since you don't want your son's life, I won't ask anymore …"
"Anyway, that money was obtained through corruption. How much do you think you can keep after the Public Security Bureau, the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau investigate?"
Lu Guanwang was completely dumbfounded. He knew he couldn't hide it anymore. He kowtowed and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I'll tell you the truth. I have sixty million."
Ling Yun laughed and said, "You really value money more than your life. You said sixty million was six million …"
Tang Meng wasn't satisfied. He said, "Hmm … sixty million, I'll take it as the truth. However, this sixty million should be your cash, right?"
Tang Meng slammed the table again and roared, "How much do you have in terms of real estate, stocks, and investments? Tell me!"
Lu Guanwang finally gave up. He knew he couldn't hide it from Tang Meng. Tang Meng's father was Qingshui City's Public Security Bureau Director, Tang Tianhao. Every year, he had to investigate several corruption cases. Among them, most of them were county and city officials. Tang Meng knew how much money someone of his rank could earn every year.
That was indeed the case. Not only did Tang Meng know how much he could earn at his level, but he also knew the methods and methods they used to earn money. In front of Tang Tianhao's incomparably shrewd son, there was no way he could hide anything.
"There are a total of eight properties … five in Qingshui City, one in Beijing, and two in Hudong …"
"I have shares worth twenty million yuan in Gou Liancheng's real estate company …"
"I even used my relative's name to open three big hotels, one chain bookstore, one chain supermarket, and four school canteens in Qingshui City …"
After listening to Lu Guanwang's explanation, a smile appeared on Tang Meng's face. This time, Lu Guanwang was definitely not lying.
Everything was easy to understand.
Lu Guanwang was the Director of Qingshui City's Education Bureau. All the universities, high schools, and middle schools in Qingshui City were under his jurisdiction.
Qingshui City was a first-tier city with a population of seven million. How big of a profit could there be?
In today's society, money was inseparable from real estate, and the biggest real estate developer in Qingshui City was none other than Gou Liancheng.
If a director of the Education Bureau colluded with the biggest real estate developer to form a power-money relationship, who would Lu Guanwang choose to build new teaching buildings, office buildings, staff dormitories, student dormitories, and other real estate projects for the schools under his management?
Without a doubt, it would be Gou Liancheng!
For example, the two new teaching buildings in Qingshui High that were currently under construction were developed by Gou Liancheng's real estate company.
In order to win this bid, Gou Liancheng naturally bribed everyone. Among them, he gave Lu Guanwang a few million yuan in cash and a villa in the Qingxi Villa District.
As the two of them got to know each other better, their relationship became closer. Gou Liancheng decided to give Lu Guanwang shares in his real estate company so that he could earn dividends every year!
As for Lu Guanwang owning three big hotels, it was even easier to understand. He was the head of the Education Bureau, and everything in the Bureau was decided by him. This was especially true for meetings and receptions. After a meeting, where would everyone go to eat?
Naturally, it was to keep the goodies within the family, and it was also convenient for him to write invoices.
Because there were bookstores and supermarkets in every school, Lu Guanwang made full use of his authority by opening a chain of bookstores and supermarkets to earn money from the students. The speed at which he earned money was definitely faster than picking up money from the ground.
Even if Tang Meng did not know these things, he was still in the same high school as Gou Junfa and Lu Chengtian for three years. These two nouveau riches were so arrogant in school that Tang Meng had heard them boast about how great their family was. Tang Meng's ears had already grown calluses from listening to them.
If Lu Chengtian could still hide this from Tang Meng, it would be a miracle.
As the old saying goes, it's not that the time hasn't come yet!
When Lu Guanwang was almost done, Tang Meng chuckled in satisfaction. "Alright, there's no need to go into details. Just tell me, how much money do you have in total?"
Lu Guanwang's clothes were already soaked in cold sweat. He kept wiping the sweat off his face as he reported a number.
"Ninety million …"
Tang Meng smirked. "Including the cash, it's a total of one hundred and fifty million. That's more or less! No wonder your son is so arrogant in school. You really did live up to your position as the Director of Education! "
Tang Meng slapped his thigh lightly. "Alright, now, you can tell me where you've hidden your son!"
Lu Guanwang raised his head abruptly and looked at the three of them in a daze. "I … I can give all of my assets to you. Why are you still …" he stammered, dumbfounded.
Tang Meng glared at him coldly. "Why are you still looking for him?"
"Let me tell you, I've already made it very clear to you just now. There's no problem with you using money to buy his life. However, we still need to see his performance. Also, we're not looking for him for him. We're looking for Xie Junyan and Gou Junfa through him!"
Ling Yun had already stood up when Tang Meng said this. He could not be bothered to waste any more time. "Tell me, where have you hidden your son?"
Ling Yun was already being merciful by not torturing Lu Guanwang. Of course, this had a lot to do with Lu Guanwang's cooperation.
Lu Guanwang knew that it was useless to say anything else when he saw Ling Yun stand up to speak. He answered honestly, "He went to his aunt's house in Hudong every day and stayed in Hudong for more than two months. After that, he seemed to have gone somewhere else …"
"Why do you say that?" Ling Yun frowned.
Lu Guanwang quickly explained, "I've been busy with the college entrance examination since last month. I've been very busy every day, so I didn't have time to take care of him. Until half a month ago, his aunt called me and said that she suddenly couldn't find him. Only then did I know that he was no longer in Hudong …"
Ling Yun's face darkened. "Then you haven't called him?"
Lu Guanwang hurriedly lowered his head. "I did, but I couldn't get through. He called me a few days ago and said that he was with Gou Junfa. He told me not to worry about him …"
Ling Yun laughed coldly. Gou Junfa and Lu Chengtian were indeed together. A nouveau riche was indeed a nouveau riche. They even had to run away together.
Tang Meng followed up with another question. "That means you don't know where your son is now?"
"Yes! Yes, yes! "Lu Guanwang nodded as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Ling Yun stood there with a cold expression. He thought about it for a while before smiling. "Alright, I got it. Let's go!"
Lu Guanwang was immediately scared out of his wits. He asked in a panic, "Where … where are we going?"
Ling Yun said coldly, "To raid his house!"
Ling Yun naturally wanted to raid Lu Guanwang's house since he had so much wealth.
As soon as Ling Yun walked out of the office, Liu Qingping came up to him with a humble and kind smile. He lowered his voice and said to Ling Yun, "Ling Yun, the head of the Education Department, Li Jiujiang, is going to host a banquet tonight to celebrate his nephew, Li Tian becoming the top scorer in Jiangnan Province's college entrance examination. What do you think?"
Ling Yun smiled. "Oh? There's such a thing? Thank you! I got it. You guys can go as you like. I'll go and celebrate with Li Tian when the time comes! "
Liu Qingping immediately understood. He passed the digital camera that recorded Lu Guanwang's crimes to Ling Yun.
"You guys should keep this. It will definitely come in handy when the time comes."
Ling Yun nodded and took the digital camera. He then smiled at Liu Qingping. "Congratulations, Secretary Liu. I believe it won't be long before you have a meteoric rise!"
Liu Qingping's expression froze. He felt his blood rushing to his head. He was dumbfounded. "This … this …"
Ling Yun smiled mysteriously and patted Liu Qingping's shoulder. "Wait for the good news!"
Ling Yun and his brothers quickly left Qingshui City's Education Department with Lu Guanwang. In the car, Ling Yun said to Tang Meng, "Tie Xiaohu and I won't be participating in the following matters. Get Abing to accompany you and bring the brothers from Green Dragon to settle it. Give me a call when you're done."
To confiscate Lu Guanwang's house and take over his assets, he had to go through all sorts of procedures. Just dragging Lu Guanwang around to sign the documents would take up an entire afternoon. Ling Yun wasn't in the mood to waste time on this.
Fortunately, the Green Dragon Sect had plenty of people. Ling Yun was not worried at all. He just needed to find some brothers from the Human Hall to deal with it.
Tang Meng immediately took out his phone and called Abing. He told him a place and asked him to arrange for two cars to wait there.
Ten minutes later, both parties met. Tie Xiaohu stopped the car and Tang Meng got out. He instructed Green Dragon's underlings to carry Lu Guanwang to another black Mercedes-Benz.
Before leaving, Ling Yun reminded Tang Meng, "Two things. First, don't leave anything out. It has to be done cleanly. Second, you have to be done before dinner. Don't delay the show tonight."
Tang Meng chuckled and gave Ling Yun a knowing look. "Don't worry, Big Brother Yun. I promise nothing will go wrong!"
"I'll go back to the mansion first. Shanshan is still waiting for me there!"
Ling Yun said as he gestured for Tie Xiaohu to get in the car. The car started and went straight to Mansion Number One. (To be continued.)
