Chapter 394 Plan to Surrender
Bai Zhiming, director of the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, stared blankly out the window, not realizing that the phone had slipped from his hands. At this moment, he was filled with panic.
"It's over, it's really over now." Bai Zhiming's face was pale, his lips trembling slightly, and he muttered to himself.
Seeing this, his wife Wan Ting asked anxiously, "What happened, husband? Tell me quickly! Please don't scare me like this, okay?"
Bai Zhiming raised his head, staring blankly ahead, and said slowly, "That bastard Zhiping owed wages to migrant workers, and Secretary Qi of the Provincial Party Committee found out about it."
Before she could finish her words, Wan Ting interrupted her impatiently, "Oh, I thought it was something else! Which construction company doesn't owe some wages to migrant workers these days? Isn't this how everyone gets by?"
However, Bai Zhiming shook his head, his voice filled with despair: "This time it's different, Zhiping put all the money into the microfinance company, he didn't pay a penny to the workers.
The workers could no longer tolerate it and surrounded their company.
What’s worse is that someone posted this incident online, causing an uproar.
Now Secretary Qi of the Provincial Party Committee has personally rushed to the scene to deal with the matter. Li Dakang has also gone there. The government has issued a strict order that the wages of all migrant workers must be settled within an hour. If the wages are not enough, the Hefu Construction Company will be used to pay off the debt.
Based on my understanding of Qi Tongwei and Li Dakang, this matter will never go away like this. Hefu Construction Company will definitely be investigated, and as Zhiping's eldest brother, I will naturally not be able to escape the fate of being investigated."
Hearing this, Wanting's face turned pale instantly. She also had a share in the micro-loan company.
She has shares in all of Bai Zhiping's companies, some of which even her husband Bai Zhiming doesn't know about, such as the micro-loan company.
She stared at her husband with eyes wide open in disbelief, and stammered, "This...what should we do? Otherwise...should we go ask Dad? Maybe he can help."
The "Dad" that Wan Ting mentioned is her father Wan Baoping, who served as the executive vice president of the Provincial High Court before his retirement.
"It's useless. This matter has been handed over to Li Dakang. You know him well. He is heartless. In order to please Qi Tongwei, he will definitely take me with him." Bai Zhiming shook his head and rejected his wife's suggestion.
"Then what should we do?" Wan Ting held Bai Zhiming's hand tightly, her face full of nervousness and her voice trembling as she asked.
Bai Zhiming frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "Things have come to this point, there is no better way.
It seems that I have no choice but to take on all the responsibilities. This may help you and the children stay safe."
Hearing this, Wan Ting shook her head and said anxiously, "No! Absolutely not! Let's think of other ways together. Let's go find Dad. Maybe he has a solution.
In addition, the wages of migrant workers have already been paid, and it is possible that Secretary Qi will not pursue the matter.”
However, Bai Zhiming shook his head firmly and rejected his wife's proposal: "What are you thinking? How can we not investigate? Li Dakang has already ordered the Jingzhou Anti-Corruption Bureau to intervene in the investigation.
Dad has retired and his words are not as effective as before. We can't involve him in this.
If Dad is safe, he can protect you and the kids."
Bai Zhiming was very clear about Qi Tongwei and Li Dakang's methods, and his father-in-law Wan Baoping's ability could not guarantee his safety.
Over the years, he used his power to embezzle and accept bribes totaling more than 3 million yuan.
As long as Qi Tongwei approved the investigation of himself, a more in-depth investigation would soon lead to his arrest. Therefore, he could not escape this time.
Before Wan Ting could say anything else, Bai Zhiming continued, "Wife, time is running out.
You should tell me the truth about all the benefits you have received over the years, and then I will take all of them for myself. This way, there may be a glimmer of hope and I can keep you and the children safe."
Wan Ting shook her head and said, "No, I don't agree. If we want to go in, let's go in together. Oh, and we can also learn from Ding Yizhen and go abroad together."
As he said this, he looked at Bai Zhiming. It must be said that the two of them really had true feelings for each other.
Bai Zhiming said seriously: "I will be sixty years old soon. I have enjoyed everything I should have enjoyed in this life. I have no regrets and I don't want to run away.
I don't want you to live in fear with me. Besides, with the experience of Ding Yizhen, we can't get out.
I don't mind, but the kids are still young and we can't let anything happen to them.
Tomorrow I will go to Secretary Qi and turn myself in, taking all the problems on my shoulders, in exchange for the safety of you and the children."
In the end, Wan Ting's reason overcame her emotion, and she told the truth about what her and his friends had done. Upon learning that his wife was also involved in the micro-loan, Bai Zhiming smiled miserably.
But at this point, he can only bear all the problems on himself.
After Bai Zhiming was ready, he called all the children and asked them to come home immediately, and then he called Bai Zhiping.
"Brother, Li Dakang's grandson has left, and I have paid out all the cash I had." Before Bai Zhiming could speak, Bai Zhiping cursed.
"Zhiping, you leave tonight, leave the mainland, and never come back." Bai Zhiming didn't have time to talk nonsense with Bai Zhiping.
He felt that Bai Zhiping might still be able to get out, but he had to hurry.
"Brother, is this necessary? I have already paid all the wages of the migrant workers as required!" Bai Zhiping asked in a low voice with a puzzled look on his face.
Bai Zhiming's face was gloomy, with a hint of bitterness on his lips, and he slowly said: "Zhiping, you don't know the methods of Qi Tongwei and Li Dakang at all.
How can this matter be resolved so easily? Neither of us can escape responsibility."
Hearing this, Bai Zhiping couldn't help but tremble, and asked stutteringly: "Is this... really that serious?"
At this time, Bai Zhiming smiled bitterly and said in a heavy tone: "This is far more serious than you can imagine!
I have decided to turn myself in to Secretary Qi tomorrow. This may bring safety to your sister-in-law and the children.
And you, you must flee from here tonight, the farther the better, and never come back again, because it will be too late to leave."
Bai Zhiping was immediately panicked when he heard this, but he still asked reluctantly: "But brother, what should we do with the assets we have? We can't just give them up like this, right?"
Bai Zhiming frowned, thought for a moment and said, "At this time, saving your life is the most important thing, don't worry about your assets anymore.
With your status and position, it shouldn't be difficult to find some ways to borrow tens of millions.
Take the money and leave immediately. You must move quickly, otherwise if you miss the opportunity, you will be unable to escape!" Bai Zhiming warned for the last time.
However, what they never expected was that Dudu ordered his men to start monitoring Bai Zhiping's phone calls that afternoon.
Therefore, everything Bai Zhiming said to Bai Zhiping was known to Dudu and the others.
After obtaining the content of the conversation between the two, Du immediately called Qi Tongwei.
"Okay, I get it. Since Bai Zhiming wants to surrender to me, then give him a chance. As for Bai Zhiping, you should send someone to arrest him now and never let him leave the country." Qi Tongwei thought for a while and said.
Bai Zhiping has been involved in bid rigging and collusion over the years, and there is definitely more than one official who colluded with him, so we cannot let him get away.
As for Bai Zhiming's desire to surrender himself in exchange for the safety of his family, Qi Tongwei decided to agree to his request. Firstly, he wanted to get information about other corrupt officials from Bai Zhiming, and secondly, to set an example.
Qi Tongwei wanted to tell corrupt officials through this incident that they should not think about running away. As long as they tell the truth, they can exchange it for the safety of their families.
