Chapter 433: Chapter 433

"I don’t know."

Wang Shujing shook his head, "Mayor Hou only told me to approve the funds when the time comes; which company it will be specifically, I won’t know until the high-speed rail project is approved and enters the process."

Lu Feng hummed in response and continued listening to Song Guanchao’s instructions.

A moment later, with a serious face, Lu Feng asked, "Director Wang, the Disciplinary Committee now offers you two choices. Think about it and then tell me your decision."

Choices?

Wang Shujing almost instantly realized that he might have a chance to redeem himself through meritorious service.

"Please go ahead."

"First, we will follow the process and, if the evidence is conclusive, handle your case according to the law and regulations. However, considering your cooperation, we will plead with the judge for leniency in your sentencing."

"However, given the facts of your crime, the death penalty could be avoided, but life imprisonment is inevitable."

Life imprisonment...

Wang Shujing’s head spun; he didn’t want to spend his entire life in prison.

"Second, redeem yourself through meritorious service."

Wang Shujing immediately responded, "I choose to redeem myself through meritorious service!"

Lu Feng hummed and said, "We will have someone escort you back later. After you return, do not show any abnormal behavior. If there is any new issue with Hou Wen, contact me immediately."

"No problem!"

"Good, Director Wang, I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."

Lu Feng extended his hand, and Wang Shujing immediately shook it, cautiously asking, "So, if I redeem myself through meritorious service, can I avoid prison?"

Lu Feng pressed his earphone, and Wang Shujing anxiously awaited.

This concerned his final sentence.

Soon, Lu Feng put down his phone, forcing a smile, "Going to prison is inevitable."

Wang Shujing’s heart sank.

"But,"

Lu Feng changed his tone, "it won’t be for too long. And, who knows, maybe by then you’ll have a health issue that requires medical bail."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shujing immediately understood what it meant.

It wasn’t stated clearly, after all, they were from the Disciplinary Committee and couldn’t state it so openly.

But Wang Shujing knew what he meant.

He gripped Lu Feng’s hand tightly, "Thank you, thank you. I will definitely cooperate with the Disciplinary Committee."

Lu Feng said, "Director Wang, I hope you seize this opportunity. You know, we approached you first because you have a relatively good reputation in Dujiang City."

"But if Hou Wen gets wind of this in advance, then all the promises made today will be void."

"Of course, you could also try to tip off Hou Wen, or try escaping from Dujiang City to evade our arrest."

As Lu Feng said this, his smile sent a chill down Wang Shujing’s spine.

"Never, I will absolutely not leak any information, nor will I run."

"Haha," Lu Feng laughed, but with a tinge of regret.

As if he was disappointed that he wouldn’t flee.

Wang Shujing tensed up, secretly guessing that the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee might have someone monitoring him in secret.

He felt this was very likely.

They even monitored his bank account transactions, so monitoring him in person would be normal.

"Alright, Director Wang, it’s getting late, I will arrange for someone to take you back."

"Thank you, thank you."

In another room.

Huang Min’s face was pale, and her body trembled continuously.

Her secret had been completely uncovered.

They even knew about her joyful weekends with men!

They even had photos!

She felt ashamed, as if her deepest secrets were exposed to the world, leaving her unable to face anyone.

But this was only psychological shame.

What truly terrified her were the documents tossed over by the members of the Disciplinary Committee.

The documents filled with evidence of her crimes.

After some effective communication, Huang Min saw a glimmer of hope from her despair and was eventually escorted back to Dujiang City by the Disciplinary Committee members.

Lu Feng opened the door and entered, "Sergeant, how did I do? Did I seem convincing?"

"Very."

Song Guanchao, smiling, remarked, "You look quite the part in a suit."

Lu Feng asked, "Sergeant, is Hou Wen planning to pocket the Finance Bureau’s money?"

"Um."

"Tsk, seven billion. I’ve never even burned so much for my old man’s grave."

"He’s got to be alive to take it."

Song Guanchao sneered.

By now, everything was very clear.

He and Wu Qiangwei’s analysis had not been wrong.

Hou Wen was indeed transferring assets.

To forsake his own ten billion, he targeted this seventy billion!

Once the money was successfully transferred, the consequences were unimaginable.

The entire economy of Dujiang City would likely collapse.

Luckily, he had discovered it beforehand.

Wang Shujing and Huang Min had returned home.

Lying in their familiar bed, they were still in shock.

The events of the evening felt like a dream, too surreal.

The next day.

Midday.

Hou Wen invited Director Yao out to lunch.

He already knew about Zhang Meilin being admitted to the hospital.

The situation had gotten out of hand.

He had only asked Director Yao to arrange a lesson for Zhang Meilin.

Who would have expected it to be so harsh, sending him directly to emergency treatment, nearly resulting in death.

He did not blame anyone, as long as the man did not die.

"Secretary Hou, what should we do next?"

His address for Hou Wen had changed, although he was only an acting City Secretary, but still a secretary.

In flattery, he had never lost to anyone.

Hou Wen said, "Wait."

"Wait? Wait for what?"

"Wait for your green card to arrive."

"Ah?" Director Yao was puzzled, "When did I apply for a green card?"

"I applied for you."

Hou Wen said, "Otherwise, if you just use your own passport to buy a plane ticket, do you think you can escape?"

"I got you a green card from Vanuatu; it’s easier there, you can get it done with money, and it’s fast; it should be processed within this month."

"Then, with the green card from Vanuatu, you can leave the country without anyone knowing."

Director Yao asked, "Where is Vanuatu?"

"It’s a country in Oceania," Hou Wen said, "Once you get there, then proceed with migrating to the USA."

"Oh," Director Yao didn’t understand these matters, but Secretary Hou had planned everything for him.

He felt somewhat emotional, knowing he needed to follow such a leader.

Even if trouble arose, the leader had already anticipated and strategized.

"By the way," Director Yao asked, "Secretary Hou, what should I do with the money I have here?"

Hou Wen said, "The day before you leave the country, convert all your money into encrypted currency. Once you are abroad, sell the encrypted currency, and you can directly exchange it for foreign currency."

Director Yao suddenly understood and admired Secretary Hou even more.

He truly deserved to be the top leader, knowing so much.

Compared to him, he was just a brute.

After eating, they left the restaurant. Hou Wen got into the car, glanced at the driver, and closed his eyes pretending to sleep.

Things were going according to his plan.

If nothing unexpected occurred, he would be able to leave this month.

As for Director Yao...

Hehe, Director Yao was just a tool for him.

He hadn’t really applied for any green card from Vanuatu for Director Yao; he was just painting a picture to appease him, so he wouldn’t disrupt his own plans.

Director Yao was a disposable piece.

A part of his smooth escape from the country.

Once overseas, the sky’s the limit and the ocean vast enough for any fish to leap.

"Zhaorui, you ultimately can’t defeat me."

Hou Wen smiled faintly in his heart, not taking Zhaorui’s revenge seriously at all.
