Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Chief Li, you have quite a serious problem!

Just as Wei Hong was feeling suspicious, the car came to a complete stop, and the rear door of the van was quickly opened by someone.

Several robbers rushed up, clamoring about having hit something, that the car couldn’t move, and they could only carry the goods and place them in another vehicle.

As for the people, to prevent a long night filled with dreams, better to kill them off.

Wei Hong was terribly frightened; she couldn’t catch her breath and passed out, her neck twisted awkwardly.

Several robbers entered the van, lifted two large bags of cash to throw outside but, unfortunately, one bag opened and the cash spilled out everywhere.

Just then, the sound of police sirens approached, as police cars were on their way.

Hearing the siren, the robbers scattered like rats at the sight of a cat. They had no time to think about their loot and certainly not about killing Li Weiguo and made a run for it, quickly disappearing into a nearby alley.

The police car swiftly arrived at the scene to discover a minivan that had been in an accident, with its rear doors open and cash scattered all around. Sensing something was wrong, they immediately parked and several officers went up to check the situation.

The officers quickly found inside the rear of the minivan two people, a man and a woman, bound hand and foot, and a whole van full of gold, silver, jewelry, and cash!

In such a situation, nothing looked normal, and the officers immediately contacted the bureau for backup.

Inside the van, Li Weiguo was grunting blindly, wanting to speak but unable to, his only method to attract the attention of the police.

Soon, an officer noticed Li Weiguo’s noises, went up to him, tore off the tape from his mouth, and used a phone to shine light on him, instantly recognizing who it was.

"Ah, Chief!"

"How can it be you, Chief?"

"What’s going on here? How come you ended up tied up and thrown in the back of a van, and what’s with all this money?"

Li Weiguo spoke quickly, "All of this is confidential, you don’t need to know. Call the bureau right away, tell them there’s no need for backup. Then call Vice Director Wang and tell him to come over at once, just him alone is fine."

With the current situation, Li Weiguo had no wish for more people to see what was going on; it was essential to suppress the incident quickly.

But unfortunately, he had a broken arm and was unable to act himself, so he had to rely on one of his trusted deputies from the county bureau to come and move this money and valuables to a safe place.

No sooner had Li Weiguo finished speaking than suddenly about a dozen police cars arrived, and as the vehicles stopped, dozens of police officers got out and quickly surrounded the minivan.

Li Weiguo was immediately taken aback.

Damn it, how did these guys arrive so quickly? It was as if they had known in advance something was going to happen here.

These guys responded to the call too quickly. Now that they’ve seen the possessions in the car, how should he explain himself?

Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in Li Weiguo’s mind; he thought of something.

Could it be that the incidents of today, from the meeting with the big boss who invited him to dinner in exchange for handling trouble and offering a huge favor of one or two million yuan, to the robbery, and up until now, were all part of a scheme?

Was there someone who had set a trap that he had fallen into?

Before Li Weiguo could figure it out, several police officers boarded the vehicle, the leader among them being the biggest thorn in the county bureau who had now been promoted to Vice Director, Wu Kai.

Wu Kai smiled at Li Weiguo and said, "I was wondering who had been robbed and nearly killed. After all the fuss, turns out it’s Director Li. Director Li, you’re really something, possessing so much money and goods. No wonder it attracted robbers."

Li Weiguo spoke hastily, "You can eat the wrong food, but you can’t talk rubbish! I was indeed kidnapped, but I have nothing to do with this money. Don’t even think about pinning this on me!"

"Whether it’s related or not, I don’t know. Let’s leave this matter for the Disciplinary Committee to investigate."

"Of course, personally, I still have a lot of trust in you, Director Li. I believe you are definitely innocent and will certainly be cleared by the organization’s review, restoring your good name."

"Come on, what are you all waiting for? Start taking photos as evidence now. With so much illicit money here, you must capture everything clearly, including Director Li’s face."

At Wu Kai’s command, his well-prepared subordinates began furiously snapping photos, not skimping on close-ups of Li Weiguo with the heap of gold, silver, and cash.

Whether it was deliberate or not, the police also let loose a fair number of night owls who were out and about to take a look inside the vehicle, making sure they were not shy about knowing it was Li Weiguo inside, speaking about the situation very loudly for all to hear.

Li Weiguo had only been suspicious before, but now he was one hundred percent certain.

Someone had definitely set him up today!

The first person who came to Li Weiguo’s mind was Xu Qianli.

Although it was Wu Kai who was involved now, Li Weiguo didn’t believe Wu Kai could be so cunning as to come up with such a scheme himself. It must have been Xu Qianli’s doing!

Damn you, Xu Qianli, what a terrible conscience you have!

The surrounding evidence collection finished quickly, and at Wu Kai’s signal, Li Weiguo was sent to the hospital.

As for the vehicle, they immediately dispatched a tow truck to take it to the county bureau.

Wei Hong was even sent straight to the interrogation room for interrogation right away.

The incident of Jiang City County Public Security Bureau Director Li Weiguo being kidnapped in the middle of the night, along with an explosively curvy and beautiful woman, and the discovery of two to three billion in cash inside the vehicle spread like the wind throughout Jiang City.

Before dawn broke, almost everyone knew about it.

After being passed from mouth to mouth, the story got more and more outrageous. Some said Li Weiguo was kidnapped with a dozen models, all naked; some claimed Li Weiguo had embezzled over ten billion and it had all been taken; others even said that after Li Weiguo was kidnapped, not only were his valuables lost, but he was also humiliated by kidnappers with peculiar tastes, making quite a commotion...

Lan Qianrong, being the County Magistrate, learned of this matter first-hand.

She ordered an investigation and quickly grasped the general situation, deducing with ease that this was certainly a set-up, someone had framed Li Weiguo.

In Jiang City, Li Weiguo was undoubtedly her, Lan Qianrong’s, right-hand man. Someone setting him up at this critical juncture was unquestionably a strike against her.

Lan Qianrong’s first thought was of Xu Qianli. Who else in Jiang City could have such means except for him?

Lan Qianrong, gritting her teeth with hatred, immediately called Xu Qianli, but unfortunately, the call didn’t go through.

The first call didn’t connect, so Lan Qianrong kept calling, and after several tries, she finally got through, hearing Xu Qianli’s languid voice.

"Who is it, disturbing sleep in the middle of the night? How utterly indecent!"

Lan Qianrong was already furious, and Xu Qianli’s words only added fuel to the fire.

"It’s me, Lan Qianrong!"

"I’m the indecent one, disturbing your sleep with a phone call, but isn’t what you did, setting up Li Weiguo, even more indecent?"

"Xu Qianli, your tactics are vicious, to actually lay such a trap to take down Li Weiguo. You must give me an explanation!"
