Chapter 544 Absolutely audacious and arrogant! An Xinsha and Rui Jin team up for an attack!
Haiqing Province, Xiping International Airport.
A motorcade of government vehicles was lined up along the edge of the tarmac.
Inside the minibus with the air conditioning on full blast.
Governor Jin Anrui sat with his legs crossed, leisurely drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
Sitting to his side and behind was Duan Guangzhong, a member of the Standing Committee of Qinghai Province and Secretary of the Xiping Municipal Committee.
His overall mental state was completely opposite to that of Jin Anrui.
He glanced at his watch again, then frowned slightly and looked out the window.
He seemed to be hoping the supervisory team's plane would land quickly, yet he didn't want the supervisory team to arrive in Haiqing.
As the saying goes.
If you have a clear conscience, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night!
Duan Guangzhong was so nervous, of course, because he had something to hide.
He was particularly afraid that the supervisory team would come to Qinghai Province and uncover the mistakes he had made in the past.
At that point, his promising future will be over, and he will inevitably face imprisonment...
"Ah~"
Overwhelmed with tension, Duan Guangzhong couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Upon hearing the sigh, Jin Anrui glanced at the newspaper and suddenly made a sound.
"Why are you sighing all of a sudden?"
"Huh? I... I do?"
Duan Guangzhong chuckled and asked in return.
"Hmph! It's just the two of us in the car. Besides you, who else could it be but me?"
Jin Anrui turned a page of the newspaper, glancing at the news as he offered words of comfort:
"The supervisory team came to our province to provide guidance on the work of cracking down on organized crime. You should be happy, so why are you sighing like that?"
"No, I just yawned!"
Duan Guangzhong attempted to argue his point.
But Jin Anrui suddenly turned his head and looked at Duan Guangzhong with a half-smile.
"We've known each other for so many years, don't I know you well enough?"
“I know you’re nervous and scared, afraid that the supervisory team will come and expose our secrets.”
"But if you ask me, you're just worrying unnecessarily, you're overthinking it!"
Turning around, Jin Anrui continued flipping through the newspaper as he spoke:
"The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission have led the anti-corruption campaign, sending supervisory teams to various provinces and municipalities, as well as ministries of the State Council and large state-owned enterprises in batches. Our province is no exception. What were the results?"
"They've been in our Haiqing Province for over two months, and they've uncovered quite a few corruption cases and put a number of people under investigation and brought to justice, but it's basically nothing to us. The ones who died were just small fry we didn't want in the first place!"
"The special campaign against organized crime led by the Political and Legal Affairs Commission has been going on for more than two months, and various places have achieved some results. It is normal for them to start sending supervisory teams to various places in batches to guide the work."
“I believe this time will be the same. As long as we can get them to solve some cases and arrest some criminals, and have some results to report back to, isn’t that enough? They’re not here to investigate us, so why are you so nervous?”
Jin Anrui spoke with absolute certainty, his face calm and composed.
There are two main reasons why he is so confident.
First, as he just said, he believes that the inspection team for the crackdown on organized crime and corruption in Qinghai Province is just a routine matter, just like the previous anti-corruption inspection team.
Even before the various supervisory teams set off today, he had already found out that seven supervisory teams had been dispatched this time, heading to the five northwestern provinces and two regions respectively.
The seventh supervisory group came to Haiqing. Judging from the seventh-ranked group, Jin Anrui was already 100% certain that Haiqing was not a key target for supervision.
Another reason why he believed everything was alright, which Jin Anrui didn't mention, was even more important.
He has worked his way up in Qinghai Province for more than 30 years, rising from the grassroots to the position of governor. His old colleagues, subordinates, and friends are spread throughout the province.
Thanks to his extensive network of connections cultivated over many years, he not only emerged unscathed from the previous anti-corruption campaign, but also eliminated dissidents and consolidated his authority.
With his power deeply entrenched, he no longer even took Lu Xiaofeng, the top leader of Haiqing, seriously. If he were two or three years younger, he would definitely have made Lu Xiaofeng lose face and leave in a sorry state.
Before the anti-gang and anti-crime supervisory team arrived, Jin Anrui had already considered and arranged to continue using his position for personal gain and to use others to do his dirty work, so that the supervisory team could take down a group of small fry so he could return and report back.
In short.
In private, Jin Anrui, who was respectfully called the "King of Haiqing" by countless people, had long considered himself a local tyrant, so naturally he couldn't take the arrival of the special supervision team for the fight against organized crime seriously.
After thinking for a moment, Duan Guangzhong frowned and said:
"Actually, I'm not worried about anything else, but I'm a little worried about the Haiqing Tian'ao Coal Industry Company incident."
“A few days ago, I had someone investigate and verify it again, and it turns out that this company has two very unusual behind-the-scenes shareholders.”
Jin Anrui chuckled dismissively.
After folding the newspaper and placing it on the table, unscrew the thermos.
"Isn't he just a nouveau riche who made a few bucks mining coal? How extraordinary could he be?"
After giving a dismissive smile, Jin Anrui blew on his tea and calmly drank it.
Duan Guangzhong leaned forward and quickly said:
"One is named Lin Shumiao, and the other is named Xiao Jinhua!"
"Lin Shumiao, the richest woman in Xishan Province, has been engaged in the coal mining and transportation business for many years. Her personal net worth is at least two or three hundred billion yuan. In order to facilitate the transportation of coal out of Xishan Province, she even invested a huge sum of money to build a heavy-haul coal transportation railway line with a capacity of 10,000 tons."
"And Xiao Jinhua is even more impressive. There's a saying in the financial industry: 'In the south there's Zheng Xinrong, and in the north there's Xiao Jinhua!' This financial tycoon comes from an extraordinary background. His mother is a professor at the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University, his father is the deputy director of the Yanjing branch of the Agricultural Bank of China, and his grandfather once served as the deputy director of the Ministry of Finance."
"Xiao Jinhua also has exceptional intelligence. At the age of fifteen, he was specially admitted to the genius class of Yenching University to study both arts and sciences. He quickly obtained dual master's degrees in economics and computer science. After working at the central bank for more than a year, he started his own business and is particularly good at financial investment. He has been named the richest man in China for four consecutive years!"
"and then?"
Jin Anrui remained unconcerned.
In his view, coal bosses and financial giants are all worthless in the face of power.
"Then Haiqing Tian'ao Coal Industry Company lost in both the first and second trials, and the case went all the way to the final judgment of the Haiqing Provincial High Court. The reason they were able to win was because of their behind-the-scenes maneuvering. They not only hired several top lawyers, but also numerous media outlets, including CCTV..."
Before Duan Guangzhong could finish speaking, Jin Anrui sneered:
"What's the use of winning the lawsuit? You still won't be able to operate normally."
"Moreover, their company's security team is involved in organized crime, and there is ample evidence, both witnesses and physical evidence. Even if the supervisory team comes, what can they do?"
"Even if we take a step back and assume that the two of them have some ability to get the supervisory team to re-examine the factory protection team and determine that they are not a criminal gang, the fact that they committed violent crimes such as beating and injuring people is undeniable."
"Even if they bring in a new group of people and reorganize production, what good will it do? If they don't transfer the coal mine at a low price, they will still face endless troubles and end up losing money instead of making any!"
Duan Guangzhong's mouth was slightly open.
I wanted to say something, but I chose to remain silent.
I picked up my thermos and tactfully drank water to mask my inner anxiety and unease.
After the final judgment, Duan Guangzhong suggested that they stop and not go too far.
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered!
Moreover, the other party is not an ordinary person; they are quite wealthy and powerful.
Moreover, when the coal market is bad, they have to beg others to buy their coal mines.
When the coal market is booming, coal mines become money-printing machines, so people want to buy them back at the original price.
There's no such logic in this world.
Such forced buying and selling is not only illegal, but also lacks basic human decency.
But the others were too greedy to give up this lucrative opportunity.
What other options did Duan Guangzhong have?
The seventh supervisory team is about to arrive.
They will thoroughly investigate the case of Haiqing Tian'ao Coal Industry Company.
Seeing Jin Anrui's fearless and calm demeanor, Duan Guangzhong could only hide his unease.
"Hopefully, as Governor Jin said, the witnesses and physical evidence are conclusive and the facts of the crime are clear, so that the supervisory team can at most revoke the designation of the criminal gang and not be able to dig up any more bombshells."
After taking a sip of warm water, Duan Guangzhong gradually calmed down.
It's approaching noon.
Accompanied by a dull rumble.
The passenger plane that flew from Yanjing landed smoothly and decelerated using reverse thrust.
While the passenger plane was still decelerating, Duan Guangzhong accompanied Jin Anrui off the bus.
I don't know if it was because I'd been in air conditioning for too long and was already a bit cold, or if it was because I felt guilty...
Under the scorching sun, Duan Guangzhong watched the passenger plane gradually approach and felt a chill run down his spine.
She glanced sideways at Jin Anrui, who was standing to her side.
With a smile on his face, he appeared calm and composed.
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore!"
"If Governor Jin isn't afraid, why should I be?"
at the same time.
On the passenger plane as it taxis.
An Xin carefully put away the documents.
Since being transferred to the Public Security Bureau, he has been even more dedicated to his duties than when he was in the Jinghai Criminal Investigation Detachment.
No matter how shocking, cruel, or horrific the case was, he never forgot his original aspiration and only focused on fulfilling his duties and upholding justice.
This temporary assignment to the seventh supervisory group made him feel an even greater sense of responsibility, and he dared not slack off in the slightest. He studied the case materials as quickly as possible during the flight.
After putting away the documents, An Xin looked ahead.
Deputy team leader Sha Ruijin was busy collecting materials.
Because the supervisory team was formed temporarily, An Xin only discovered yesterday that Sha Ruijin, the then Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Linjiang Province, had been appointed as the deputy leader of the seventh supervisory team.
The two had met more than once before when they were in Jinghai, because of the investigation of Xu Jiang's case. They also spoke on the phone in June because of Gao Qiqiang's case, so they were old acquaintances.
After yesterday's mobilization meeting, all members of the supervisory team received a large amount of case materials and conducted serious discussions.
After reviewing the materials from Haiqing Tian'ao Coal Industry Company, everyone knew that there were too many shady dealings behind this case.
When coal prices were not soaring, the company operated legally and compliantly.
Why did the company start having so many problems after coal prices continued to rise?
The company's coal mines were legally and compliantly purchased when the coal industry was in a slump many years ago, but in the past two years, the original owner has accused the acquisition of being illegal.
Despite having a written acquisition agreement and transfer contract, the plaintiff lost the case in both the first and second trials. The final appeal was filed with the Haiqing High Court, where it took a tremendous amount of effort to finally win the final judgment.
However, winning the final judgment only brought more trouble.
In addition to frequent inspections by various official departments, there are also frequent and inexplicable power outages, water outages, and internet disruptions. Triangular nails are often found on the coal transport roads, and coal drivers and miners are repeatedly threatened.
Various conflicts and disputes continued. At its peak, the company called the police 27 times a month, but to no avail. Shortly after forming a factory protection team to crack down on crime, the team was arrested and identified as a criminal gang.
Is it really the truth?
