CHAPTER 655: CHAPTER 655: ABSOLUTE SECRECY REQUIRED

The next day, under Chen Bin’s arrangement, Tao Qian once again boarded the plane to Wotaihua.

Since Tao Qian had completely gained Lan Hui’s trust, the latter personally came to receive him this time.

When the two met again, Lan Hui looked like a woman in her early forties.

The wrinkles on her face disappeared, her chest appeared more prominent, and she exuded charm.

Once they arrived at the apartment together, Tao Qian joined her in an intimate embrace.

After the moment of passion, they began to discuss plans to return home together.

Regarding this, Lan Hui had many concerns.

It was only after three days of Tao Qian’s relentless persuasion that she finally made up her mind and went to the immigration bureau.

She straightforwardly stated that she was an illegal immigrant and now wanted to return to Huaxia.

After checking the documents, the immigration bureau immediately deported her.

When boarding the plane to return home, Lan Hui was extremely tense.

Seeing this, Tao Qian immediately held her hand and softly comforted her.

Compared to Lan Hui’s nervousness, Tao Qian felt full of excitement inside.

As long as this woman in front of him was captured, it would be a significant achievement for him.

Before getting off the plane, Tao Qian even pretended to remind Lan Hui to remember the name Xi Kaili and not reveal any flaws.

Upon reaching the exit, Lan Hui was taken by border control for examination at the repatriation center.

After passing the examination, she felt a great sense of relief and threw herself into Tao Qian’s arms, sobbing.

Passing the scrutiny meant her new identity was approved.

From now on, besides Tao Qian, no one in Huaxia knew her real identity.

Sitting in a taxi, Lan Hui looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling a mix of emotions.

She was very familiar with this city; it was also the place where her dreams began.

Now, returning again, she had to assume a different identity.

Having suffered enough in the Maple Country, Lan Hui planned to take all that gold and head to the free and democratic Beautiful Country with Tao Qian.

It was already late, and Lan Hui originally planned to find a hotel nearby and rest for the night.

However, Tao Qian urged her to go and see the gold.

Lan Hui didn’t think much about it and finally let the driver take them to her old residence.

As soon as they entered the cellar, Tao Qian stood at the entrance, showing no intention of going further in.

Lan Hui, eager to see her gold, rushed inside without minding much else.

However, at that moment, the lights overhead suddenly turned on.

Six or seven police officers came into view.

Lan Hui felt a sudden jolt in her heart and fearfully asked, "What...what are you doing?"

The leader, Cheng Zhuang, smiled and said, "Welcome back to Tianhai, Lan Hui!"

Seeing that the other party actually recognized her, Lan Hui felt her mind buzz.

A strong sense of foreboding surged in her heart.

However, she was someone who had seen things and did not show any signs of panic.

Instead, she asked, full of doubt, "You must have the wrong person, right? Who is Lan Hui? I am Xi Kaili!"

Cheng Zhuang teased, "Then, Ms. Xi, why would you appear in Lan Hui’s cellar?"

"This...I... I am Lan Hui’s best friend. She asked me to come and check on her house..."

Cheng Zhuang, tired of her nonsense, waved his hand decisively.

"Cuff her!"

Seeing the situation take a bad turn, Lan Hui immediately ran to the cellar door, only to be blocked tightly by Tao Qian.

"Lan Hui, now that you’ve returned to Tianhai, stop making meaningless struggles. You can’t escape!"

Hearing this, Lan Hui was dumbfounded.

It wasn’t until she was handcuffed by the police that she began to curse angrily.

"Tao Qian, you bastard! I trusted you so much, and yet you...let me go, I don’t know any Lan Hui, I am Xi Kaili!"

At this moment, Cheng Zhuang’s voice rang out again.

"Take her away!"

Even after Lan Hui was arrested, the police department was unaware of her return.

Chen Bin’s intention was to allow Cheng Zhuang to claim a major accomplishment!

Coming out of the cellar, Cheng Zhuang said to Tao Qian, "You should quickly call Chen Tai."

Cheng Zhuang knew that Tao Qian was Chen Bin’s godson, but he didn’t trust him.

So in front of Tao Qian, he displayed a rather ordinary relationship with Chen Bin.

Tao Qian modestly said, "Why don’t you call? After all, the person was caught by you."

Cheng Zhuang patted him on the shoulder, "You call; as far as this matter is concerned, your contribution is greater than mine."

This made Tao Qian happy inside, and he immediately took out his phone and called Chen Bin.

"Godfather, Lan Hui has been apprehended."

Upon receiving this news, Chen Bin immediately contacted Zeng Pengchao.

"Secretary Zeng, Lan Hui has been captured and is on her way back to the city."

Ever since Zeng Pengchao learned of Lan Hui’s situation from Chen Bin, he had been tormented inside.

He wished to add something to his political career before leaving Yanxi.

Now that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, Zeng Pengchao was extremely excited.

"Good! That’s excellent! Rest assured, I will fulfill my promises!"

After hanging up, Zeng Pengchao immediately contacted Vice-Secretary Kang Kecheng of the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Commission.

"Lan Hui has been brought in, and she is currently under examination at the police bureau. Go see if anyone is behind her. Remember, this matter must be kept confidential; the fewer people who know, the better!"

Kang Kecheng dared not hesitate and hurried to the police bureau where Cheng Zhuang was located.

Lan Hui also knew that her actions had long been uncovered.

If she continued to resist now, she might face a dead end.

To seek leniency, she came clean about all the illegal activities she had been involved in.

Early the next morning, Zeng Pengchao left home and headed to the airport.

On the afternoon of his flight to the Imperial Capital, Li Lu was taken away.

Initially, after Chen Bin received half of the gold from Cheng Zhuang, he instructed them to investigate who had appeared in Lan Hui’s cellar.

After some twists and turns, it was discovered that the person was a distant relative of Li Lu.

At that time, the relationship between Li Lu and Chen Bin was still very good, so Chen Bin did not intend to report him.

Only when Hao Wenjing’s situation completely fell apart did he have to strike first.

After work in the evening, Chen Bin went to Hao Wenjing’s home.

Upon learning that Li Lu was taken away by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Hao Wenjing turned pale with fear.

"It’s over. If Li Lu reveals our matters, what shall we do?"

"Don’t worry about it. You are Shiyu’s mother. As long as Li Lu has a conscience, he won’t report us."

Just then, Chen Bin’s phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from an unfamiliar landline number.

As soon as he answered, a middle-aged man’s voice came through.

"Secretary Li asked me to tell you to take care of the people that need taking care of and to live up to your conscience."

The call was then abruptly ended.

After Li Lu was taken by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, he confessed everything that needed to be confessed, except for the matters concerning Hao Wenjing and her daughter.

As for the gold stored in Lan Hui’s cellar, half of it was missing.

Unable to find who pocketed the other half, a high-ranking leader decided.

It must have been Lan Hui who falsely reported the quantity.

Thus, this matter came to a complete conclusion...
