Chapter 487 The Ugly People's Sinister Intentions
Zhao Donglai was promoted to the position of director of the Public Security Department of Zhongjiang Province very smoothly. The provincial party secretary has absolute autonomy over department-level cadres, and the government rarely interferes.
On the other hand, He Yong led a team to investigate this wave of big Vs who were leading the trend.
"Director He, this big V called 'Show You the World' is actually named Bai Yufan, from Jinghai City, Handong Province. He went abroad to study in 2006 and returned to China in 2010 to work for SL Weekly.
We found all his commentary manuscripts since he returned to China, and the content mainly advocated the West and smeared the country. We calculated his royalties and other income and found that it did not match his consumption at all. "Criminal police chief Zhang Xinhui reported.
"You mean he is corrupt?" He Yong asked doubtfully.
"It's still unknown at the moment." Zhang Xin shook his head.
"Keep a close eye on him and monitor all the accounts under his name." There was no good solution, He Yong could only wait passively.
He Yong instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this person. He did not alert the enemy, but instead prepared to keep a close eye on him.
Bai Yufan didn't know that he was under surveillance. He continued to do as usual, browsing the news for hot current events, preferably negative news about government officials.
The reason why he acted in this way was to use these news to create a trend and discredit the country.
As a Chinese, why did he want to discredit his own country? It all started with his study abroad.
Back in 2006, Bai Yufan, who originally had dreams, fell into depravity in less than a year and became addicted to the party life and luxurious lifestyle of the Ugly Country.
But this kind of life was simply not something his family could afford, and although his parents tried their best, it was still far from satisfying his desires.
By chance, Bai Yufan met a media person at a party. With his enthusiastic introduction, Bai Yufan successfully entered a media company that seemed ordinary but actually had hidden secrets.
The person behind this media company is none other than the CIA of the United States. They specialize in publishing statements that smear China. This is their long-term mission, just like what they did against the Soviet Union.
The young people at the party were their targets. These people also had expertise in China and knew that after Bai Yufan and others returned from studying abroad, they would be covered with a layer of status, making it easier for them to become social elites.
All the Chinese students they recruited first interned in this media company, and adapted some seemingly plausible news in China into negative news.
The ugly people treated them very well. Under the huge temptation of money, some people did not hesitate to abandon their moral bottom line and began to rack their brains to concoct one false news article after another to discredit the country.
After these people graduate, the CIA will come to their homes and threaten them with the manuscripts they wrote in the past to pursue their luxurious lives.
If they do not agree to become CIA spies, they will hand over the manuscripts to the Chinese Embassy. If they agree to become CIA spies, not only will they be kept confidential, but they will also be provided with 100 million US dollars each year for field research.
It's actually a kickback.
People like Bai Yufan have no moral bottom line and can be easily bribed.
As a result, they all have a special and dirty mission - to spare no effort to promote the superiority of the so-called "Western free countries" while at the same time intensifying and smearing their own country.
He Yong and others originally thought that it would take a long time to find out, but unexpectedly they were very lucky. These few days happened to be the time when the Ugly Country distributed the second year's funds.
The Ugly Country first transferred the money to Bai Yufan's overseas account. Bai Yufan then transferred it to his bank account in Hong Kong Island, then went through the stock market, and finally transferred it to his domestic account as his legal income.
The surveillance personnel soon discovered that 660 million yuan had entered Bai Yufan's bank account. As professional investigators, they were very sensitive to money and knew that this was 100 million US dollars.
Exactly one million, no more, no less. This number was very special, so the staff immediately began to trace the source of the money.
After a painstaking investigation, it was discovered that the money came from overseas stock markets. On the surface, this was money earned by Bai Yufan from stock trading, but all investigators knew that these were just appearances.
"Keep investigating! Also, arrest him immediately for disturbing public order." He Yong ordered his subordinates with a serious face.
He Yong has his own judgment about Bai Yufan.
Judging from Bai Yufan's past resume, he doesn't seem like the kind of tough guy who can withstand pressure and keep his mouth shut, so it shouldn't be difficult to get the answer from him.
"What are you doing? I didn't commit any crime, why are you taking me away?" Bai Yufan's face was full of anger and he shouted at He Yong in frustration.
He was very emotional at the moment, but of course he was more afraid. He did this just to cover up his inner timidity.
He Yong simply glanced at Bai Yufan calmly, then responded calmly: "Don't you know whether you have committed a crime or not? Let's find a quiet place to talk about it."
After saying that, he turned to the detectives under his command and said, "Take the man back to the police station."
Soon, Bai Yufan was taken to the interrogation room of the Handong Provincial Public Security Department.
He sat uneasily on the intimidating tiger bench, his heart beating like a drum.
In front of him sat the stern-looking He Yong, Zhang Xinyi from the Criminal Police Brigade, and a police officer in charge of taking notes.
"Bai Yufan, we, the police, have already investigated your problem thoroughly. Now we're giving you a chance to tell the truth and try to get leniency.
Let's talk about the $100 million." He Yong got straight to the point and directly raised the key question, trying to break through Bai Yufan's psychological defenses in this way.
Bai Yufan's psychological quality is indeed average. When the CIA approached him, they didn't expect him to do anything big. They just used one million US dollars to support a propagandist.
When he heard He Yong say one million US dollars, he thought to himself that it was bad and guessed that he had been exposed.
However, hoping for a lucky break, he did not respond to He Yong's question.
"Don't think we can't find out just by looking at the stock market. You think too simply about the state machinery. Since we are both from Handong, I will give you one last chance.
"If you confess now, we can consider you as having made meritorious contributions and surrendering yourself, so we can consider giving you a lighter sentence.
But if you still remain stubborn and refuse to explain the problem, then what awaits you will be severe punishment by law!
I don't need to tell you about the interests involved, I'm sure you have some idea of it, right?" He Yong stared at Bai Yufan in front of him with a sharp gaze, and continued to launch a psychological offensive against him with words.
They tried to use carefully designed language traps to make Bai Yufan mistakenly believe that the public security organs had basically grasped conclusive evidence of his crimes, and thus he would confess.
“I only give you three minutes to think about it. Once the time limit is exceeded, I’m sorry, I won’t listen anymore.” He Yong said as he took off his watch and placed it on the tiger bench.
As the second hand ticked, each tick seemed to hit Bai Yufan's heart hard, bringing him unprecedented pressure.
Although Bai Yufan was nominally a spy, in reality he had never received any professional spy training.
The reason why the ugly people chose him back then was not because of his talent but because he had no sense of patriotism, no moral bottom line, and a tendency to cast a wide net.
For the CIA in the United States, it is very cost-effective to use one million people to disrupt the minds of the Chinese people.
Even if the failure is discovered, it doesn't matter. The main thing is to deny it. Anyway, people like Bai Yufan have never appeared in the CIA, and China has no evidence to support the CIA's actions.
Under He Yong's continuous pressure, Bai Yufan finally couldn't hold on any longer and said, "I...I'll confess."
