Jiang Yuan already knows what's going on.

This is a scam specifically targeting Zheng Bihui!

No, it's a scam specifically targeting Lingjiang!

This con artist spent nearly a year just to build an image of an international businessman in front of Zheng Bihui.

And he succeeded.

Zheng Bihui was indeed fooled!

It's not that the Mayor is easy to fool, nor that Zheng Bihui is stupid; it's that the con artist is too professional.

Not only professional, but also patient.

For over seven months, he worked just to gain his trust, to make him believe he was a Hong Kong businessman with huge overseas assets.

Once everything was in place, he bared his fangs and used a huge GDP to lure Zheng Bihui into his political achievements.

When Zheng Bihui was attracted by the beauty Chu Yue created, he had already fallen into the trap.

He even went as far as endorsing Chu Yue, proactively helping Chu Yue connect with banks.

Even he, Jiang Yuan, got dragged into the mess!

Realizing all this, Jiang Yuan only felt a chill down his spine.

This damned con artist!

Cheated Zheng Bihui, cheated him, cheated all of Lingjiang!

And what's more, what's been cheated isn't just money!

The Police Department and the District Government building, both were bombed!

If this matter gets out, Lingjiang City Government will be a laughing stock!

They will also have to face accountability!

"Mayor Zheng, you must take full responsibility for this!"

Jiang Yuan stood up, coldly dropped these words, and left the office.

He returned to his office and suddenly thought of something, immediately called Fang Wei: "Xiao Fang, come back."

Soon, Fang Wei arrived at the office.

"Mayor, you're looking for me?"

"Give me the complaint letter."

"Oh."

Fang Wei took out the complaint letter.

Jiang Yuan directly stuffed it into the drawer and locked it up, Fang Wei was a bit puzzled but didn't ask further.

Jiang Yuan said: "Go to Lingjiang Bank and print out all the bank transactions for Huaxing Company."

"Okay." Fang Wei immediately left.

Jiang Yuan then dialed Qin Yuejin's number.

"Director Qin, check where Chu Yue is now."

"Chu Yue?" Qin Yuejin asked: "Is it that Mr. Chu?"

"Yes."

"This is not easy to check." Qin Yuejin thought to himself, how the hell am I supposed to know where he is.

Mayor Jiang said: "Check his recent immigration records."

This unexpected event disrupted his plans.

He had to temporarily set aside dealing with Qu Xiangru.

He had to handle this matter first.

Bank loans were scammed, and the building had already been bombed.

Now it's meaningless to vent anger on anyone.

What he needs to do now is to rescue the losses.

He has to get the scammed loans back, and capture the person!

As for the losses already incurred, he hasn't thought about how to deal with them yet.

But this matter, temporarily cannot be known to more people.

Must suppress it!

Waiting for the reply, every second was agonizing.

Fang Wei returned, it was almost noon.

Jiang Yuan looked through Huaxing Company's bank transactions, the more he looked, the more horrified he felt.

He discovered that before the bank loan was approved, Huaxing Company's account had continuous large sums of money being deposited.

Total amount as high as 1.3 billion!

Along with the bank's 5 billion, a total of 6.3 billion!

This amount is almost close to the amount Hou Wen transferred from Dujiang City back then.

At this time, Qin Yuejin called.

"Mayor Jiang, Mr. Chu purchased a ticket to the UK on Wednesday."

"I understand."

Jiang Yuan's heart sank completely.

This guy, fled!

And not only that, he took all the 6.3 billion from the account!

"Bang!"

He smashed the phone on the ground.

Fang Wei was startled.

It's the first time he saw Mayor Jiang so angry.

Jiang Yuan's face darkened, his gaze almost murderous.

"Xiao Fang!"

"Mayor."

"Go to the bank, have them check where the money in this account was transferred to! Find out and give me a call immediately!"

"Yes, Mayor."

Fang Wei left quickly.

At noon, Jiang Yuan didn't eat, he sat in the office waiting.

About forty minutes later, Fang Wei called.

The bank could only confirm that the money had been transferred to an overseas account.

As for the specific overseas account, they couldn't find it.

These details are not important.

He wanted Fang Wei to check just to confirm whether the money was in the country or abroad.

If it's domestic, there's still hope to recover it.

But if it's gone abroad, there's almost no hope.

He walked into Zheng Bihui's office.

Zheng Bihui also hadn't eaten, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts, he looked much haggard.

"Mayor Jiang." Zheng Bihui squeezed out a smile more terrible than crying.

Jiang Yuan tossed over the bank transactions: "A total of 6.3 billion, all transferred abroad."

Zheng Bihui didn't look at the transactions, he already knew this.

Both furrowed their brows, silently smoking.

Also don't know how long they smoked, Jiang Yuan asked: "What are you planning to do?"

Zheng Bihui glanced at the time: "Let's go to the City Committee."

Jiang Yuan sneered: "Go to the City Committee? You plan to talk to Secretary Qu? Do you think Secretary Qu can solve it?"

Zheng Bihui said: "Does the Mayor remember how the 7 billion Hou Wen transferred was recovered?"

Jiang Yuan paused, of course he remembered.

That money was brought back by Song Guanchao!

Moreover, it was brought back within 24 hours!

At the time, everyone was amazed, not understanding how he did it.

After all, that was money transferred abroad.

He actually forgot this matter!

Zheng Bihui extinguished the cigarette butt, dusted off the ash falling on him, stood up and said: "Let's go to the City Committee, such a thing can't be hidden. The sooner we confess, the sooner we formulate a plan. Maybe this time Secretary Song can also turn things around?"

Saying this, Zheng Bihui felt a bit complicated.

He never thought he would still have a day to beg Song Guanchao.

However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Having overly strong ability as a person is not a good thing.

If you're too strong, others might easily seem weak.

When even a Mayor can't resolve an issue yet a Secretary solves it every time, it makes people feel like the leadership are incompetent parasites.

Though it's convenient to utilize such capable individuals.

But not all leaders have tolerance for others.

More leaders facing an excessively outstanding yet uncontrollable subordinate would choose to dispose of them when the need arises.

They got in the car, heading to the City Committee.

On the road, Zheng Bihui contacted Qu Xiangru and Wu Qiangwei in advance, saying it's something important.

Wu Qiangwei received the call and guessed that Zheng Bihui might have realized he was scammed.

A dozen minutes after, Zheng Bihui and Jiang Yuan arrived at the City Committee.

The top four ranked leaders in Lingjiang gathered in Qu Xiangru's office.

Qu Xiangru and Wu Qiangwei remained calm as usual, silently waiting for the two to speak.

This matter is actually quite humiliating, especially with two female and beautiful Secretaries.

To speak of such things in front of them is like exposing a scar, voluntarily showing one's most incompetent side.

Zheng Bihui and Jiang Yuan are both prideful people; being fooled and toyed with like this is extremely shameful for them.

But at the moment, they can't care about face.

Zheng Bihui suppressed his inner shame, saying: "The city government was scammed."
