I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 167 Does being young mean being naive, and that others will try to trap you and make you take the blame?
Twenty minutes later, Xue Jiandong and the others hurriedly returned to the hotel. Ai Shan knocked on Fang Qingye's door and asked him to go to Xue Jiandong's room.

Fang Qingye followed and saw two people inside. Besides Xue Jiandong, who was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face, there was also Li Liang, who was standing obediently next to Xue Jiandong like a primary school student who had made a mistake.

"Old Ai, Little Fang, please sit down," Xue Jiandong said, then glanced at Li Liang standing next to him and snorted, "You sit down too!"

"Director Xue, what exactly happened?" Fang Qingye asked, looking puzzled.

"Oh no, this is a big problem!" Xue Jiandong sighed, then said to Li Liang, "Tell Assistant Fang the whole process again."

"Okay." Li Liang repeated himself.

Fang Qingye was shocked: "Fraudulently obtaining 800 million yuan in loans?! How dare you?! Li Liang, are you sure the mortgage certificate is fake?! This is no joke."

“That’s right. I personally went to the housing management bureau with him again to confirm that the other party did indeed commit fraud,” Aishan interjected.

"Then the problem is very serious." Fang Qingye pretended to be deep in thought, then suddenly remembered something and looked at Li Liang: "You keep saying that it was President Sun who instructed you, do you have any evidence?"

"This kid is pretty smart. He just went to find Sun Peng again and recorded it," Xue Jiandong said, glancing at Li Liang again.

Um.
He's quite clever.

Fang Qingye breathed a sigh of relief.

“In that case, I suggest reporting it to the provincial branch and calling the police at the same time. The sooner we do that, the better we can recover the loan,” Fang Qingye suggested.

“I agree,” Aishan immediately chimed in.

“Okay, I’ll call President Wu to report first. He’s in charge of discipline inspection.” Xue Jiandong said, taking out his phone.

"Then let's go back to our room first," Fang Qingye said, standing up.

"Don't go! You all listen too!" Xue Jiandong said, then turned on speakerphone.

The call connected, and Bank Manager Wu's heavily accented Mandarin came through the phone: "Old Xue, is everything going smoothly in Fengyi? Have you found any major problems?"

"President Wu, how could I dare to call you if there wasn't a major problem? Something terrible has happened."

"what's up?"

Xue Jiandong then recounted the whole story over the phone, and President Wu's voice on the other end of the line became serious.

"Old Xue, have you verified everything?"

"It has been verified that the other party did indeed forge the other rights certificate."

"Alright, I'll report to Director Wang immediately and bring some people by plane this afternoon! Call the police right away!"

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Xue Jiandong said to everyone, "You all heard that, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"Alright, let's skip the meal and go call the police!" Xue Jiandong said, standing up.

In the afternoon, the entire Fengyi branch was in complete chaos.

After receiving the report from Xue Jiandong and his group, the local police station immediately reported to the county bureau leadership. The county bureau leadership, realizing the seriousness of the matter, then reported it to relevant county leaders. The county leaders attached great importance to the case and ordered the county public security bureau to establish a special task force to investigate the matter swiftly.

After receiving the notification, the local branch of the People's Bank of China, the city branch, and the city banking regulatory bureau immediately contacted a bank in Henan Province, the origin of the loan, and requested that the bank's account be frozen to prevent the funds from being withdrawn.

At the same time, the police station immediately summoned Sun Peng, the branch manager of Fengyi Branch, and Liu Zhenan, the general manager of Taihua Commerce and Trade, to the police station for investigation.

Liu Zhenan cannot be contacted.

Sun Peng caught him red-handed.

However, none of this mattered to Fang Qingye anymore, and he leisurely returned to his hotel room.

One thing he can't understand now is why Sun Peng would collude with the CEO of Taihua Trading.
Why would they take such a huge risk? What kind of exchange of interests could they possibly have?
Perhaps the police can find out.

But that's it.
Fang Qingye suddenly thought of someone, took out a document from the room, found a phone number, and dialed it.

He was calling Wang Chenyang. The other end answered quickly: "Who is this?"

"I am Fang Qingye."

"Assistant Fang, there's been progress on my matter?!" The other person's tone became surprised and delighted.

"No, but there have been some changes that might be to your advantage," Fang Qingye said slowly.

"What changes?"

"Let me ask you something first. Have you heard of Taihua Trading Company? Does their boss, Liu Zhenan, know President Sun?"

"Taihua Trading? I know it. I've heard that their boss, Liu Zhenan, has a good relationship with Sun Peng. Sun Peng has shares in Taihua Trading, but that's just hearsay."

oh.
Everything is clear now.

"Assistant Fang, why are you asking this? Has something happened to Sun Peng?!" Wang Chenyang's tone suddenly became urgent on the phone.

"Yes, something happened." Fang Qingye briefly recounted what had happened that day.

"Haha. I knew Sun Peng was a scoundrel! Just like Qiu Fanglai, audacious and reckless! He's finally met his end!" Wang Chenyang laughed loudly on the other end of the phone, but his laughter suddenly stopped.

"Assistant Fang, do you think the police will definitely interrogate him? What if he confesses to things he did before?"

“You have to tell him, otherwise how will the police know what he’s done?” Fang Qingye said leisurely.

"I understand! Thank you, Assistant Fang."

"Don't rush, there's one more thing. Director Wu, who is in charge of discipline inspection, is coming to Fengyi today to investigate this matter from within the bank. Do you need to take the materials I have here now?"

"Oh? Thank you, but no need, I have several sets of materials here."

"Hello, take it when you're free, it's useless to me."

"understand."

That evening, President Wu led an inspection team to Fengyi, taking full control of the Fengyi branch's administrative power. Meanwhile, another team was being formed and was scheduled to arrive in Fengyi that same day to thoroughly investigate all loan operations conducted over the past five years.

Fang Qingye and his flight inspection team were unharmed.

If there's nothing else, just leave and move on to the next stop.

The night before he left, Li Liang suddenly found Fang Qingye and stayed in his room for a while.

Li Liang has been temporarily suspended from his duties pending investigation and further action will be taken.

The young man looked very dejected and sat silently in Fang Qingye's room.

Seeing him like this, Fang Qingye comforted him, "The matter is basically over. At worst, you'll get a disciplinary action and be reassigned. You're young, and your future is bright."

"I am young." Li Liang suddenly looked up at Fang Qingye: "Assistant Fang, does being young mean being naive, and that others will try to trap you and make you take the blame?"

Fang Qingye didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing that Fang Qingye remained silent, Li Liang continued, "I really didn't expect President Sun to be this kind of person. He's usually very kind and approachable to me. He even said that I'm all alone in Fengyi, with no relatives or friends around, and that he should take good care of me."

"So you were very touched and trusted him a lot?"

"Yes, I thought I was lucky to have a good boss after graduation and starting work, otherwise I wouldn't have easily believed him and violated our work rules. Don't you think all bosses are like this nowadays?!"

Upon hearing Li Liang's last sentence, Fang Qingye thought for a moment and said, "That's not necessarily true. There are good leaders too. But no matter who is in charge, you should always be careful and always be wary of others."

"Yes, I was so naive, so innocent, so incredibly stupid!"

Seeing Li Liang's pained expression, Fang Qingye sighed deeply in her heart.

The slightly student-like Li Liang, who was full of enthusiasm for the world, disappeared from that moment on, replaced by someone who looked at everything around him with suspicion and even indifference.

Is this what they call the price of growing up?
