71: I accidentally gave you the guarantee.
Meng Guoliang had originally thought his older brother would save him, but he didn't know that his older brother confessed even faster than him!
While still in the police car, Mi Jingming began to confess, and it was a full confession, revealing everyone involved in the entire matter.
Seeing this, the Police Officer quickly brought him back to the Bureau; experience told them that this time, they could tackle a big case.
Inside the interrogation room, the camera was turned on, and the questioning officially began.
"So, Mi Jingming, the Director and Deputy Director of the Linwu Branch were both involved, right?" the Police Officer asked with a serious expression.
Mi Jingming quickly nodded: "Yes, they were all involved. It can be said that without them, I wouldn't have been able to get the money out at all."
"At that time, basically everyone in real estate did this; it's impossible to actually put the money in a supervised account. No one is a fool."
"The people at the Bank also took some of that money..."
Goodness, the Police Officer felt increasingly excited; profiting from this made the nature of the case even more different.
Mi Jingming continued speaking for a long time, then said: "So, does this count as rendering meritorious service?"
He had gotten to where he was today by being shameless and ruthless, plus a tiny bit of crucial luck.
Before fleeing, he had begged all his previous connections, but no one was willing to help him.
So, after being caught, he was very clear that he definitely had no chance, so he would use these things to exchange for an opportunity to render meritorious service.
Time had already arrived at the day after Mi Jingming was caught.
At the Linwu Branch, Director Bai, who was also the secretary, had just arrived at his office when he was stopped.
The middle-aged man leading the group presented his credentials and the detention decision: "Director Bai, please hand over your phone to us now and come with us."
Looking at the credentials and the detention decision, Director Bai's face instantly turned ashen, it was over.
Because he was a public official and it involved issues of benefit transfer, the Discipline Inspection and Supervision personnel stationed at the Bank came to investigate.
There was no need to mention Director Fang, who almost wet his pants from this.
Officials are also human. If you look closely at the interviews released by the Discipline Inspection Department, you'll find them very interesting.
Some officials knew the situation the moment they saw the credentials; some wanted to jump off a building, some couldn't even walk, and some wet their pants, to the extent that the Comrade from Discipline Inspection had to go to his home overnight to get him a change of pants...
Otherwise, the smell all over him would make interrogation impossible.
Besides the people from the Bank, there was also the former leader who no longer worked in the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department, who was also taken away at the meeting.
Many things are only scary when investigated; an investigation always hits the mark.
The Public Security Bureau issued a notice, and the Discipline Inspection Department also issued a notice...
Of course, these notices did not cause any public outcry, after all, there were too many similar notices every day, and netizens would not pay attention to a notice from such a small place for no reason.
It was another evening, and Wen Yuhe was tidying up at home. Since receiving the liquidated damages last time, the atmosphere at home had improved a bit.
Although her husband still had a dark expression, at least there was communication; one could only say that money was truly too important.
Xi Yueyue was doing her homework nearby. Compared to before, the little girl's face now had many more smiles.
As long as her parents didn't argue, that was already enough for her.
Just then, Wen Yuhe's phone rang. She picked it up and found it was Lawyer Zhou, which surprised her a little.
Now that the case was finished, why was Lawyer Zhou calling again? Could there be other issues with the previous case?
With apprehension, Wen Yuhe answered the call.
It wasn't that she wanted to overthink, but the current situation truly felt like a dream to her.
Perhaps for wealthy people, that bit of liquidated damages was nothing, but for her family, it would take a long time to save up.
In a sense, it could even be said that Zhou Yun saved her entire family!
Now that the case was finished and there was another call, Wen Yuhe naturally tended to overthink.
Lawyer Zhou's familiar voice came from the phone: "Hello, Ms. Wen, this is Zhou Yun."
"Hello, Lawyer Zhou, is there a problem with the previous case?" Wen Yuhe asked cautiously.
"Oh, there was indeed a tiny little change regarding the previous case," Zhou Yun said with a smile.
Hearing this, Wen Yuhe's heart instantly sank. She forced herself to say: "Lawyer Zhou, what... what change is it?"
"It's just that I found some evidence and reported it, and then I sent the developer of your previous unfinished building, as well as the Bank's leaders, and the former leaders of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department, all to jail."
"As a result, a new situation has arisen: because that developer is suspected of misappropriating funds, his assets will be frozen and recovered."
"Your project, after the criminal judgment is completed, will be restarted. This time, it will be fully supervised by relevant departments, directly entering a supervised account, ensuring delivery of the building!"
After all, the project had not been stalled for too long, and with such a large injection of funds, it would basically be revitalized.
Linwu City also wanted to ensure the delivery of the building, but previously, this project was simply unmanageable.
The funding gap was large, and even finding a takeover party was difficult.
If they could get the money from President Mi and President Meng, it would be much easier.
What? Hearing this, Wen Yuhe almost couldn't catch her breath and quickly said: "Lawyer Zhou, is that true? Is the developer really going to jail? Is there still hope for our house?"
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yun smiled and said: "You can search for yourself, that boss is named Mi Jingming, and those from the Bank, there are notices online now."
Wen Yuhe said directly: "Lawyer Zhou, I believe you. You see, you've helped us so much again, how can we thank you? You tell us..."
Zhou Yun immediately said: "No, this is just a small personal hobby of mine. I particularly like to see those people go in and 'step on the sewing machine'. It has nothing to do with you all. So, that's it, Ms. Wen."
"Tomorrow, I'm preparing to go back. I've been out for so long this trip, and Jinghai has urged me countless times."
Wen Yuhe fell silent. She felt that Lawyer Zhou actually wanted to help people like them, but... judging from the cases he had handled before, it seemed a bit...
However, this did not prevent her from thanking him.
After countless thanks, she hung up the phone. Wen Yuhe felt refreshed; the liquidated damages were received, and the house was going to resume construction. Life suddenly had hope!
Her husband, who was beside her, was equally shocked after hearing: "The house is going to resume construction? Good, good! Don't cook tonight, let's go out to eat and celebrate properly!"
"It's just that Lawyer Zhou didn't even charge much, sigh, how can we thank him..."
Wen Yuhe smiled happily and then dialed Grandpa Li's home phone.
Grandpa Li, on the other end, despite his age, jumped up excitedly upon learning the situation!
Finally, finally, this day had come!
Time flew by to the next day. Zhou Yun packed his things early and left the hotel, only to find when he arrived at the train station that many people were already waiting for him at the entrance.
"You all..."
Grandpa Li smiled and said: "Lawyer Zhou, you don't want money, nor anything else, so we must come and see you off. You have to go to the city to catch a plane, so you definitely have to come here."
"Yes, Lawyer Zhou, let us see you off. The more than two thousand residents of this community must thank you properly. You truly saved all our lives!"
Everyone spoke one after another, and Zhou Yun also chatted with them.
It proved that helping others can also bring great joy; at least now, Zhou Yun was truly happy!
As time was running out, Zhou Yun seemed to remember something and smiled: "There's one more thing. If you want, you can sue the Bank, saying they violated the confidentiality agreement."
"It's about the liquidated damages. The relevant departments have already issued a notice, but it's hard to say whether you'll win or lose. That's all."
Leaving that remark, Zhou Yun bid farewell to everyone and got into the car. He felt that he would never forget this trip in his life.
The crowd outside froze again. This... could this really be possible?
In the car, Zhou Yun planned his next steps, which was to post videos. There was no need to consider confidentiality anymore.
Banks are particularly strict about this type of compensation management, or rather, any unit related to the state is like this.
So, in many cases, a judgment is necessary for financial transactions; with a judgment, there's no problem.
But this time, they signed a mediation agreement. Although it also has legal effect, it's still far less than a judgment.
The Court? The Court has no relation; they simply did some work. If your Director wasn't guilty, why would you agree?
Everyone is not in the same system, and I didn't know that mediation wasn't allowed, do you understand that this was voluntary!
