Ceng Gaoqiang came to a hotel near the guest house. Deng Jinchun asked for a private room in the hotel and asked the waiter to bring up a few dishes. Deng Jinchun was not in the mood to eat at all. He didn't move his chopsticks. Hearing the movement outside the door, Deng Jinchun stood up. When he saw Ceng Gaoqiang coming in, Deng Jinchun's eyes flashed a glimmer of hope. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Ceng Gaoqiang was finally here. This was his last hope.
Deng Jinchun, are you crazy again? You are a doctor. I think you should go to the neurology department of your hospital first to see if there are any mental problems. Ceng Gaoqiang scolded Deng Jinchun as soon as he came in. He was scared by Deng Jinchun's words and rushed over, but his stomach was really full of anger.
Mayor Ceng, if you can calm down by scolding me a few more times, then scold me a few more times. Deng Jinchun had a smile on his face. It was a smile, but it was actually uglier than crying. Now he wanted to die and was even ready to run away. He got the news that the Procuratorate was really coming to arrest him this time. Deng Jinchun couldn't help him this time. If Ceng Gaoqiang couldn't help him this time, Deng Jinchun would run away without saying a word. He had also embezzled tens of millions. If he could really run abroad, he wouldn't be too sad for the rest of his life.
I don't even want to scold you. Look at you, do you still look like a dean? Ceng Gaoqiang snorted coldly.
Mayor Ceng, haven't you got the news from the Procuratorate? Deng Jinchun looked at Ceng Gaoqiang as if his mother had died. He didn't care how Ceng Gaoqiang scolded him, as long as Ceng Gaoqiang reached out to help him. But looking at Ceng Gaoqiang's appearance, it seemed that he didn't hear the news at all and was indifferent.
No, he was still waiting for Luo Kaiyuan's call. Ceng Gaoqiang said angrily, "Don't be so suspicious all day. You will scare yourself to death sooner or later. Luo Kaiyuan is the deputy chief prosecutor of the Procuratorate. I have a good relationship with him. I have also told him about your matter. If the Procuratorate really wants to arrest you, he will definitely get the news. He said there is no such thing, so where do you think your news came from? Can you be more informed than him in the Procuratorate?
Mayor Zeng, you can't say that. Chief Prosecutor Luo is not in charge of this case, and there are some things that he might not be able to know immediately. Deng Jinchun helplessly explained, "This information was leaked to me by one of the investigators who risked his life. I am indebted to that investigator. His father had undergone a major operation in our hospital before, and I personally performed the operation. I saved his father's life. His father is already seventy or eighty years old, but he is still alive and energetic every day, so he is especially grateful to me. That's why he risked his life to inform me."
Is this for real? Ceng Gaoqiang was taken aback by Deng Jinchun's words. If that was really the case, he had to take it seriously. After all, Deng Jinchun had a close relationship with him. Ever since Deng Jinchun became the Deputy Director of the First Hospital, he had been filial to Ceng Gaoqiang every year, and the amount of money he gave to Ceng Gaoqiang increased year by year. It was also for this reason that Ceng Gaoqiang had helped Deng Jinchun become the Director of the First Hospital and also made him the Deputy Director of the Health Bureau. After he became the Director, Deng Jinchun's filial piety to Ceng Gaoqiang increased even more.
Not to mention anything else, Ceng Gaoqiang had received a lot of reports about Deng Jinchun for the new inpatient building that was currently under construction in the First Hospital. Deng Jinchun directly gave him a huge red packet of two million yuan, and Ceng Gaoqiang ignored it.
Of course, Ceng Gaoqiang absolutely did not know that Deng Jinchun had embezzled tens of millions of yuan through medical equipment tenders, medicine tenders, hospital expansion projects, etc. Whether it was medical equipment tenders or medicine tenders, they were all very fishy. He knew that Deng Jinchun was definitely greedy. When someone reported that Deng Jinchun had secretly manipulated the tenders for the new inpatient building, Ceng Gaoqiang knew that Deng Jinchun had obtained a lot of benefits. Otherwise, he would not have given him two million yuan at once.
But Deng Jinchun said in front of him that most of the money was given to him, and he took the small part himself. Ceng Gaoqiang always believed it. He also thought that Deng Jinchun did not have the guts to lie to him, but he did not think that Deng Jinchun would really dare to reach out and embezzle so much money. Otherwise, Ceng Gaoqiang would definitely jump up. He definitely did not dare to protect Deng Jinchun with such a large amount of money, and he did not have the ability to do so. He would definitely cut off his relationship with Deng Jinchun as soon as the Procuratorate investigated Deng Jinchun.
Mayor Ceng, at this point, why would I lie to you? What good would it do me to lie to you? Deng Jinchun's face was sullen. Ceng Gaoqiang still did not have a sense of crisis at all, but he was living in fear all the time. He knew his own affairs. Deng Jinchun knew that he, a hospital director and a deputy division level cadre, had embezzled such a large amount of money. If this matter was found out, it would cause a sensation, and no one could protect him.
When I came over just now, I called Luo Kaiyuan. He said that he would go and ask. He should get back to me later. We will know when he gets back. Ceng Gaoqiang frowned. He had received so many benefits from Deng Jinchun. If something really happened to Deng Jinchun, he would definitely be implicated. Ceng Gaoqiang naturally did not want anything to happen to Deng Jinchun. If he could protect Deng Jinchun, he would. If not, then he would think about it later.
Then let's wait a little longer. Deng Jinchun could only say so. Right now, there was no better way for him. Running away was the worst plan. If possible, he still hoped to keep his current position. If not, even if he was removed from his position, as long as it was not a sentence, he could accept it. At least it was better than running away and dying of old age in a foreign country.
As the two were talking, Ceng Gaoqiang's phone rang. Deng Jinchun, who was beside him, immediately became nervous. He stared at Ceng Gaoqiang without blinking. Ceng Gaoqiang picked up the phone and smiled. Old Luo, how is it?
This case was personally handled by Chief Inspector Cheng. The degree of confidentiality was very high. The investigators only reported to him, so it was really not easy to get information. Luo Kaiyuan said on the other end of the phone. The Chief Inspector Cheng he mentioned was the head of the Procuratorate, Cheng Rong Jiang. Luo Kaiyuan was also embarrassed to say that he, a dignified Deputy Chief Inspector of the Procuratorate, could not get information about a case. Now that he said this to Ceng Gaoqiang, he was just hinting that it was difficult to get information about the case.
Old Luo, so you also can't get accurate information? Ceng Gaoqiang glanced at Deng Jinchun and faintly had a bad premonition. The higher the degree of confidentiality of the case, the worse Deng Jinchun's situation was. In addition to what Deng Jinchun said just now, Ceng Gaoqiang really believed it.
The people under Chief Inspector Cheng are all elites trained by him. As deputies, we often run into a wall when we want to ask something. Luo Kaiyuan smiled awkwardly. He said this to save some face for himself. Cheng Rong Jiang had absolute prestige in the Procuratorate. Often, the investigators appointed by him were also his trusted subordinates. Deputies like Luo Kaiyuan could not intervene. This was also the reason why Luo Kaiyuan did not call Ceng Gaoqiang back when Ceng Gaoqiang told him about Deng Jinchun's case. That was because he did not know the inside story. Of course, Luo Kaiyuan did not pay much attention to it, because Ceng Gaoqiang did not emphasize that it was very important. Now that he suddenly asked, Luo Kaiyuan naturally could not provide any information.
Oh, then I'll have to trouble you, Old Luo. If there is any news, you must inform me immediately. Ceng Gaoqiang was disappointed, but he could only thank Luo Kaiyuan for his help.
Okay, okay, I will definitely call you if there is any news. Luo Kaiyuan hurriedly smiled. Luo Kaiyuan also felt a little embarrassed for not being able to help Ceng Gaoqiang. Ceng Gaoqiang was now the Deputy Mayor. It was rare for him to have a chance to make Ceng Gaoqiang owe him a favor, but this time, he did not help. Luo Kaiyuan was somewhat regretful.
As soon as Ceng Gaoqiang hung up the phone, Deng Jinchun couldn't wait to ask, Mayor Ceng, how was it?
Luo Kaiyuan also did not get the exact news. Ceng Gaoqiang looked at Deng Jinchun, and his brows furrowed even more. It was his fault for not taking this matter to heart before. Now it seemed that the matter had become serious to a certain extent.
Mayor Ceng, then do you think I should really run away? I can't just sit and wait for the Procuratorate to come and arrest me. Deng Jinchun's face was pale. When he said this, he could feel his calves and stomach trembling.
Don't run away so easily. If you really take that step, it is equivalent to cutting off any path of retreat for yourself. Ceng Gaoqiang said angrily. Looking at Deng Jinchun's pale face, Ceng Gaoqiang could only comfort him again. Maybe the news you got is also wrong. Things might not necessarily be that bad. You should calm yourself down first.
