Chapter 698: Capturing Xing Kaifeng 3
When Xing Kaifeng heard the names Yu Haiyang and Xu Changsheng, he immediately realized that these two guys must have been involved in reselling grain on the black market, and the relevant departments followed the clues to track him down. So he immediately explained loudly: "Captain Liu, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Yu Haiyang and Xu Changsheng and I were classmates at the Jin-Cha-Ji Base Area Children's School. They asked me to help them get some grain and meat for the unit. I just couldn't save face for my old friend, so I asked my father to approve some grain and meat for them."
Captain Liu sneered, "Xing Kaifeng, you are still quibbling at this point. It seems that you will not give up until you reach the Yellow River. If we don't have enough evidence, do you think our relevant departments will come here to arrest people casually? You accepted huge bribes and participated in the resale of state-controlled materials. If you have anything to say, go to the interrogation room!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and the two comrades from the relevant departments immediately escorted Xing Kaifeng out as if they were catching a chick.
Li Lanhua was about to step forward to stop him, but Captain Liu said coldly, "Why, do you want to go to the relevant department with your son?"
Hearing Captain Liu's cold words, Li Lanhua was frightened. How could she not know the names of the relevant departments? In the past, she only heard that a certain leader made a mistake and was arrested by the relevant departments. At that time, the housewives would get together to talk about it, but she never expected that one day her son would be directly arrested by the relevant departments.
At this time, Deputy Secretary Xing, who was lying on the hospital bed, could no longer bear it. He watched his beloved son being taken away by the relevant departments. He could not help but yelled loudly: "Xing Kaifeng was just helping a friend, you can't arrest him! I want to see your minister!"
Captain Liu sneered disdainfully: "Deputy Secretary Xing, if you hadn't just happened to be in a car accident, do you think our relevant departments would let you go? Get treatment well, and we will look for you when your condition stabilizes. Remember, the law is long and there is no loophole!" After saying that, he ignored Deputy Secretary Xing whose face was distorted and led his men out of the ward.
Director Wang of the city's security department did not leave with the comrades from the relevant departments. He walked to the bedside and said in a serious tone: "Comrade Xing Sanniu, I have been entrusted by the secretary to convey the decision of the superiors and the city. You have been suspended from your post for investigation due to serious violations of discipline and instructions from your superiors. Considering your current special situation, you will receive treatment here first, and you can start the organizational talk after you are discharged from the hospital."
After Director Wang finished speaking, he didn't even look at the other person and hurried out of the ward.
Li Lanhua immediately rushed to the bedside and said with sobs, "Old Xing, you must think of a way to rescue Kaifeng."
At this time, Deputy Secretary Xing was like an eggplant hit by frost. He endured the severe pain in his waist and barely looked up at the ward. After finding that his wife was alone, he said hoarsely: "Go home now and call Lao Yin and Lao Tang. Tell them about my current injury as harshly as possible and ask them to help me out of friendship as old comrades. Now I don't ask for anything else. It's good enough to hold Kaifeng's life. Go quickly."
Li Lanhua nodded repeatedly in panic, then hurriedly walked out of the ward without even closing the door in her haste.
The atmosphere in the city secretary's office was extremely solemn. The secretary looked at the report materials in his hand with a grim face. The other two deputy secretaries also had very ugly faces. The summarized materials were also placed on the coffee table in front of them.
After reading the materials in his hand, the secretary said angrily, "Good fellow, this is really good fellow. I am really enlightened. I didn't expect that some people below are really so bold. More than 3,500 tons of grain and meat that the city has managed to raise have been misappropriated without authorization. We must investigate, we must investigate thoroughly. We can't wait for the relevant departments to come to us. We must take the initiative to catch those rats."
The two deputy secretaries looked at each other and were secretly shocked. Although they both approved approvals for 100 to 200 tons each because of some relationships that they could not shirk, they never expected that the leaders under them who held real power would use more than 2,000 tons of grain without asking for permission. According to the summary materials, in addition to Deputy Secretary Xing who approved the most approvals, more than 1,000 tons of grain and nearly 100 tons of meat, several directors also approved more than 500 tons of grain and meat each. A small section chief in logistics and warehousing was so bold as to embezzle more than 300 tons of grain without authorization.
What shocked the two deputy secretaries the most was that a considerable portion of the grain and meat that had been misappropriated flowed into the black market through various channels.
Now the relevant departments have directly arrested Deputy Secretary Xing’s son Xing Kaifeng. The city must immediately take the initiative to catch those who are involved in the misappropriation of grain and meat. Otherwise, once the relevant departments intervene, the city will be in a passive position.
So when the secretary's office meeting ended, the city's security department immediately took action according to the list. As the leaders of various departments involved in misappropriating grain and meat were taken away directly from their offices one by one, a tense atmosphere immediately spread.
Lin Yu did not take the call from the city secretary to heart. He was actually prepared for the secretary's mention of someone misappropriating grain and meat without permission. After all, in this society where relationships are important, how many people can be truly impartial when faced with requests for help from old friends and comrades-in-arms who have a good relationship with them?
Of course, those who embezzle grain and meat for personal gain will definitely be severely punished this time. I'm afraid some of them will have to eat peanuts. After all, in the current environment, such guys dare to resell grain and meat at high prices on the black market. They must be blinded by greed.
After Lin Yu hung up the phone, he couldn't help but feel funny. The ticket system has been implemented all over the country now. What's the use of embezzling so much money if you have money but no tickets?
Obviously, the purpose of the city secretary's call today was to inform Lin Yu in advance. After all, the secretary personally told Lin Yu that the grain and meat purchased by the city were all for the Great Leap Forward. Now, the scandal of being resold on the black market has been exposed. I believe that with Lin Yu's relationship with relevant departments, this matter will soon reach his ears. What will Lin Yu think then?
In fact, Lin Yu knew very well that the city definitely planned to continue purchasing food and meat from him in the future, especially after natural disasters began next year, the city would definitely come to him for help again.
However, Lin Yu has already decided that, apart from the current supply from the old unit and the normal needs of maintaining the training base, other departments and units will basically not give in.
