Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Gorgeous, I believe in you!

Inside the waiting room, Xu Qianli sat beside Lan Qianrong and Lan Mengni.

A pair of stunning beauties, sensual down to their bones, with enticing voluptuous figures, were seated on either side of him, both pairs of beautiful eyes were eyeing him intently.

Lan Mengni’s heart was filled with curiosity, she was extremely curious about this domineering man, Xu Qianli.

She knew all too well that when a woman becomes curious about a man, it is often the beginning of her downfall, but she just couldn’t control herself because this man was truly too interesting.

Despite being just a minor township official, he had dared to publicly challenge Fu Guotai, who had a very strong background—just thinking about it made him seem so domineering.

Yet Lan Mengni also felt a hint of worry because, considering the strength and background of Fu Guotai, if he really wanted to seek revenge, could Xu Qianli withstand it?

Xu Qianli’s gaze was fixed on Lan Qianrong, staring at her relentlessly.

Lan Qianrong said, "Do you want to ask me about my dealings with Fu Guotai?"

Xu Qianli responded, "If you don’t want to talk about it, it’s fine. After all, you and he don’t have any relationship."

"Of course, I have no relationship with him now!"

"But some things are better to be clarified to avoid misunderstandings."

"He and I grew up in the same courtyard. It’s not like we were very close, but we were definitely not strangers."

"Before I got married, he pursued me, but unfortunately, I had no feelings for him and rejected him. Later, I married my husband, only to encounter an unexpected tragedy."

"That guy Fu Guotai actually thought he had another chance and started pursuing me again, constantly pestering me, making me incredibly annoyed."

"One of the reasons I went to Jiang City was also to escape him."

"In short, I have no special relationship with him, believe it or not."

Lan Qianrong laid out everything between her and Fu Guotai in detail.

Xu Qianli took one of Lan Qianrong’s hands, "Alright, you don’t need to explain. I believe you have no relationship with him. After all, I know your situation."

Hearing Xu Qianli’s words, Lan Qianrong suddenly remembered that beautiful and passionate night at the Regent Hotel.

Yes, her first time was taken by Xu Qianli. She had given herself to him, which was enough to prove she had nothing with any other men before. Why bother explaining anything? It was superfluous.

Suddenly, Lan Qianrong realized something was amiss—her sister was stretching her neck, looking at her with a smile.

Quick as lightning, Lan Qianrong withdrew her hand that Xu Qianli was holding and gave Xu Qianli a fierce glare.

"Pah, why am I telling you all this?"

"I’m warning you, I only let you pretend to be my boyfriend to get past Fu Guotai because I was so upset to see him."

"Don’t you think I really want to start something with you. Don’t you dare overthink it, got it?"

"And sister, I mean it, I really don’t have anything to do with Xu Qianli. Stop looking at him like he’s your brother-in-law."

"I truly have no relationship with him..."

Lan Qianrong kept trying to explain, hoping to get past the situation, but she couldn’t manage it. Why was her sister’s gaze so strange? It was as if she had decided Lan Qianrong and Xu Qianli were involved. She hadn’t seen anything between Lan Qianrong and Xu Qianli, did she really have to be like this?

...

At the same time in Jiang City, the workday had already begun.

The heinous crime that occurred in Jiang City last night had spread rapidly, with a terrible impact and serious nature, drawing attention from all quarters.

Even provincial reporters, journalists from various places, and many self-media internet celebrities had gathered in Jiang City, closely following the situation’s major developments.

Faced with this, the County Committee responded swiftly, issuing notifications even before working hours began, summoning all heads, big and small, who could breathe, to immediately wait at the County Committee Conference Hall for a meeting that morning.

Attendance was mandatory for personnel from both the County Public Security Bureau and the County Disciplinary Committee!

As work hours arrived and the meeting started, Ge Changhong first had Wu Kai, who led the team investigating the case the night before, publicly report on the work situation.

Wu Kai had prepared his materials in advance, recounting the incident where Wei Hong’s home hid two to three hundred million in illicit funds; Li Weiguo’s visit to Wei Hong’s place the previous day, his encounter with robbers who looted and abducted him, nearly being silenced; and how fortunately his car crashed, leading to his rescue by the police.

Regarding the origin and ownership of those funds, and the nature of the relationship between Wei Hong and Li Weiguo, and why Li Weiguo visited Wei Hong’s home, Wu Kai presented extensive investigative material.

The first piece was Wei Hong’s confession: she admitted to being Li Weiguo’s mistress, having been together with him for over a decade, and had borne him two children, who were deliberately kept in her hometown to avoid attention.

As for those illicit funds, they were dirty money that Li Weiguo had obtained through the convenience of his position, temporarily stored at her place, waiting to accumulate enough to flee far away with her and the two children.

Beyond Wei Hong’s testimony, the forensics department confirmed by extracting Li Weiguo’s fingerprints from several confiscated luxury items, including expensive watches, providing ironclad proof that the two to three hundred million worth of goods indeed belonged to Li Weiguo.

Besides this, the police also acted separately, arresting a total of eight women from the county, seizing a large amount of cash and gold from their homes.

Without exception, these women were Li Weiguo’s mistresses, each had borne his children, and all had been promised that once enough wealth was accumulated, they would flee far away with him and their children.

These were only the cases that had been discovered; how many undetected cases remained unknown.

Regarding the total amount involved, including the funds stolen by the robbers from Wei Hong’s home, the total was nearly ten billion!

For a moment, the conference hall was in uproar.

Li Weiguo, as the head of the public security bureau, had actually kept a bevy of mistresses and embezzled as much as ten billion in dirty money. The seriousness of the matter and its negative impact couldn’t be overstated.

This situation had to be dealt with severely.

Many officials in attendance were so scared that they were trembling, but on the surface, they all spoke with moral righteousness, unanimously agreeing that Li Weiguo must be dealt with sternly.

Ge Changhong declared on the spot to expel Li Weiguo from his positions immediately and hand him over to the Disciplinary Committee for investigation to clarify all his dealings thoroughly.

As for the now-vacant position of Jiang City Public Security Bureau Chief, being too important and related to the stability of Jiang City’s public order, it couldn’t be left unattended.

Ge Changhong then introduced a person into the conference hall, the station chief from a township below, Zeng Yong.

Ge Changhong presented evidence to first clear Zeng Yong of any suspicion, confirming that the three men he shot years ago were indeed murderous bandits, reinstated his position as deputy chief, and then proposed to promote him to be the new head of Jiang City Public Security Bureau Chief.

With Lan Qianrong absent, Zeng Changyun, Ding Biao, and others didn’t dare to make a sound, and there was virtually no opposition; the proposal was almost unanimously passed, agreeing to Zeng Yong’s promotion to bureau chief.

This news quickly reached Lan Qianrong’s mobile phone.

Upon learning the situation, Lan Qianrong was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and fiercely pinched Xu Qianli’s arm.

You jerk, after dealing with Li Weiguo, you really had a backup plan!
