CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

President Chen has already admitted it.

The first bribe he received was two weeks ago, when Gao Xiaoqin paid him five million yuan in cash and a gold watch at the same time.

Next... the investigation team's task is to investigate Gao Xiaoqin, the person who bribed them.

And also at this time.

Zhong Xiaoai put away the folder in her hand, casually handed it to a subordinate beside her, and smiled at Gao Qilin: "So, Boss Gao, the whistleblower?"

"Do you want to come with us to catch Gao Xiaoqin?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Qilin smiled and said, "I won't get involved in your investigation team's affairs any further."

As he spoke, Gao Qilin glanced at his watch: "My daughter will be out of school soon, I should pick her up."

Upon hearing this, a complex expression flashed across Zhong Xiaoai's beautiful eyes, before she quickly nodded: "Okay, I understand. You can go back now. I'll let you know as soon as there's any progress."

Gao Qilin smiled and nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble Xiao Ai."

As he spoke, Gao Qilin turned and left the Municipal Bureau, getting back into his car.

After instructing the driver to head towards the kindergarten, Gao Qilin closed his eyes and began to rest.

The arrest of President Chen is not a big deal.

But the person who offered the bribe was Gao Xiaoqin from the Shanshui Group... This news is explosive enough.

I reckon there will be someone waiting for me at the kindergarten when I go to pick up Xiaoyue today...

Chapter 181 Zhao Ruilong knew the truth and was furious!

the other side.

On the overpass in Jinghai City.

Meng Dehai sat in the back seat, completely bewildered, and looked at Huang Yanjun beside him: "Uncle, what's so important? I'm still at work..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yanjun looked at Meng Dehai in surprise: "You don't know?"

Meng Dehai was even more confused and asked cautiously, "Uncle, what happened? I... I really don't know."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yanjun shook his head helplessly: "It's all because of that kid Gao Qilin."

"You know about that municipal meeting a few days ago, right?"

Meng Dehai nodded.

Not only did I know about it, I also participated in it.

On the surface, it was a group of people in the municipality who were unhappy about the slow progress of the highway project contracted by Gao's Real Estate.

But in fact……

It turns out that someone wanted to take advantage of the situation to get Gao's Real Estate to leave the highway project.

Huang Yanjun continued, "The reason the project has been stalled for so long is because the bank that Gao's Real Estate originally agreed to borrow development loans has been slow to disburse the funds."

　20 “Gao Qilin went there in person and found that the bank president had accepted bribes, so he reported it.”

Meng Dehai nodded upon hearing this, but still asked with some doubt, "Uncle, Gao Qilin only reported a bank manager, is it really necessary for us to rush over there?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yanjun smiled helplessly: "If only things were that simple."

The words fell.

Meng Dehai immediately realized what was going on and looked at Huang Yanjun with a hint of surprise: "You mean... that bribe-giver is not simple?"

Huang Yanjun nodded: "It's Gao Xiaoqin, the general manager of the Handong Province Shanshui Group."

"The person should have already been taken away by the investigation team, or the investigation team is on its way."

"We need to find Gao Qilin and ask him what's going on."

……

Not long after.

The entrance to Jinghai No. 1 Kindergarten.

As usual, Gao Yue and Huang Ziqi walked out of the kindergarten hand in hand.

Old Huang's off-duty hours are not as free as Gao's; he works for himself and can pick up Gao Yue anytime.

Usually, Huang Ziqi would see Gao Yue off, and then follow the kindergarten teacher back to the classroom to wait for Mr. Huang to get off work.

And just today.

As soon as Huang Ziqi stepped out of the kindergarten, she saw a familiar figure!

Immediately, a smile appeared on Huang Ziqi's face: "Grandpa, Uncle!"

Gao Qilin was also startled by Huang Ziqi's call and looked over.

Not far away, Huang Yanjun and Meng Dehai were indeed seen.

Chen Shuting, who was standing to the side, nudged Gao Qilin's shoulder: "Qilin, do Old Huang and Uncle Meng want to talk to you about something?"

Gao Qilin narrowed his eyes.

It's not their off-get off work time now, and they wouldn't normally skip work to pick up Huang Ziqi...

It seems it's about Gao Xiaoqin's bribery.

Thinking this, Gao Qilin smiled, took Huang Ziqi's hand, and walked down from the two opposite him.

"Old Huang, Uncle Meng."

"Why are you free to come here today?"

Meng Dehai easily saw through Gao Qilin's politeness and immediately laughed, "You little rascal, you're pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth."

"Don't you know why Old Huang and I came here?"

Gao Qilin immediately smiled.

"Uncle Meng is joking."

"Shall we find a place to sit down and chat while we eat?"

Huang Yanjun nodded quickly.

……

After a while.

Chen Shuting took Huang Ziqi and Gao Yue to a nearby fried chicken restaurant for a meal, while Gao Qilin and his group sat in a small restaurant.

The three of them lowered their heads in tacit agreement and rinsed their bowls and chopsticks with tea.

Finally, Huang Yanjun spoke first: "Qilin, I heard that you've been getting along well with Zhong Xiaoai from the Capital Investigation Team lately, and that you even got Gao Xiaoqin investigated?"

As Huang Yanjun finished speaking, Meng Dehai, who was standing next to him, also asked, "At the last meeting, you weren't on the invitation list. It was Zhong Xiaoai who brought you in."

As he spoke, Meng Dehai was also filled with many thoughts.

Gao Qilin is no fool.

The women around him, one by one, were either general managers of construction groups or even his own daughters... who were the district head's daughters, weren't they?

Zhong Xiaoai has always been aloof and arrogant towards men, and this is the first time she has ever heard of her associating with Gao Qilin like this.

Meng Dehai couldn't help but suspect that there was some kind of relationship between Gao Qilin and Zhong Xiaoai.

Thus……

His own daughter has become like a sister to the daughter of a vice-national-level leader in the capital.

And this moment.

Gao Qilin said with a helpless expression, pouring tea for the two men: "Gentlemen, why does having a meal feel like an interrogation?"

"How could I possibly have such power, to tell Zhong Xiaoai who to arrest?"

"It was Gao Xiaoqin who went astray and actually bribed President Chen, which is why Zhong Xiaoai took her away."

As Gao Qilin finished speaking, Huang Yanjun and Meng Dehai did not entirely believe him.

after all.

What is Zhong Xiaoai's identity and status?

To personally investigate the president of a local bank is, to put it mildly, a demotion!

Besides Gao Qilin, who else could persuade her?

However, since Gao Qilin had already said that, it meant that the relationship between the two was still far from settled, so Huang Yanjun did not intend to ask any further questions.

Instead, 227 changed the subject and said, "Qilin, the difficulties that are currently facing Gao's Real Estate should have all been resolved, right?"

"We have the funds and the manpower, so there shouldn't be any problems with the construction going forward, right?"

Gao Qilin nodded slightly: "No problem."

“My internet company received a sum of money. Although the specific procedure is a loan, it is a loan that we borrow and repay ourselves.”

"Even without development loans, it's not a problem."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yanjun nodded in satisfaction.
