Chapter 1728: Chapter 1728
Chairman Fang was the first to learn that Song Guanchao was taken away by the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee for investigation.
When he heard the news, he had already found someone ready to teach Song Guanchao a lesson.
Unexpectedly, such a good news came suddenly.
He made several phone calls, and after understanding the reasoning, he was extremely surprised.
He was the one who threatened the reporter, and the reporter knew it had nothing to do with Song Guanchao, yet still reported Song Guanchao.
After a brief moment of confusion, he immediately understood some things.
He had always thought that Song Guanchao was behind the reporter, that Song Guanchao had uploaded the interview video online.
Now it seems, this matter really has nothing to do with Song Guanchao.
There is another person behind that reporter!
Moreover, the person behind also took the opportunity to set up Song Guanchao!
Although he felt a bit unhappy about being used, Chairman Fang still saw an opportunity immediately.
Firstly, the reporter’s accusation lacks solid evidence. The reason the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee came to Jiangzhou in person is because of the reporter’s background in the Ministry of Propaganda, hence the attention.
Once the investigation is clear, Song Guanchao will naturally be fine.
However, he can provide the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee with some evidence.
For instance, providing the identity information of the man who threatened the reporter.
Then give that man a sum of money, making him willing to be caught and testify against Song Guanchao.
In this way, the threat matter will be confirmed.
But he knew very well that even if he arranged it this way, there were still flaws everywhere. As long as the police and Disciplinary Committee put in a bit of effort, they would definitely be able to investigate clearly.
While he was pondering the details, he received the news again, that Song Guanchao was detained!
Upon learning this, Chairman Fang’s eyes gleamed.
The Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee detained Song Guanchao with only the reporter’s unilateral testimony!
If it were the local Disciplinary Committee doing this, it wouldn’t be surprising, but for the Central Committee to so blatantly violate procedure, there is a problem.
"He’s waiting for my call!"
Chairman Fang finally reached this conclusion.
The people sent by the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee must know the grievances between Song Guanchao and these corrupt enterprises.
That’s why they deliberately detained Song Guanchao, the purpose being to wait for him to proactively contact them and offer benefits.
Chairman Fang wasn’t sure if his analysis was correct, but he could give it a try.
Thus, he first posted his analysis in the group, and other entrepreneurs also thought of this possibility, unanimously deciding to let Chairman Fang contact the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee.
This led to the phone call.
"Is this the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee?" Chairman Fang asked.
"Who are you?" Ji Wei asked knowingly.
"I want to report something."
"Oh? Report what?"
"I want to report Song Guanchao for bribery!" After stating the report content, Chairman Fang changed his tone: "I would like to provide evidence to Mr. Ji face-to-face, is that convenient?"
Ji Wei said: "This is my duty, of course it’s convenient. I’m at the Fuli Hotel, you can come directly to the third-floor meeting room, I’ll be waiting for you here."
Chairman Fang said: "How about changing the location..."
"The meeting will be at the hotel, don’t worry, the police are also here, this place is very safe."
"Then... okay, I’ll be there shortly."
After hanging up the phone, Chairman Fang suddenly felt a bit doubtful, was he overthinking it?
It’s possible that the reason why the other party detained Song Guanchao was simply that they care about this case, not as complicated as he thought?
If it was as he thought, why did he ask him to meet at the hotel?
But anyway, he had to meet this person face-to-face.
Even if the other party didn’t mean it, he could bring it up.
He simply couldn’t believe that Ji Wei, just like Song Guanchao, could be completely unmoved by money.
At eight thirty in the evening, Chairman Fang arrived at the hotel.
When he walked into the meeting room, in addition to Ji Wei, there were two other men present.
Chairman Fang stepped forward and asked: "Are you the leaders of the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee?"
Ji Wei nodded: "I am Ji Wei."
Chairman Fang said: "I am Fang Yan, Chairman of Yanghe Petrochemical, I want to report Song Guanchao!"
As soon as the words fell, the other two had already turned on a camera set up nearby and opened their notebook to start recording.
Seeing this setup made Chairman Fang secretly apprehensive, but he kept his tone calm, narrating the process of how Song Guanchao solicited bribes from him.
The bribery matter was completely fabricated, yet Chairman Fang still described it vividly, as if it were true.
In his description, Song Guanchao openly demanded bribes during the pollution incident, claiming that smoothing things over required some greasing of palms.
He disagreed, so Song Guanchao threatened that his business wouldn’t be able to continue.
This kind of situation is actually very hard to distinguish as true or false, because Chairman Fang mentioned it was face-to-face bribery from the start, naturally couldn’t have any solid evidence to substantiate this matter.
But as the chairman of a corrupt enterprise, reporting with his real name, even without evidence, it would still be extremely detrimental to Song Guanchao.
Ji Wei maintained a serious expression, after Chairman Fang finished, he said: "We have recorded Chairman Fang’s report, and we will carefully investigate and verify it. There will be updates and we will contact you first."
"Thank you, Mr. Ji." Chairman Fang slowly stood up and prepared to leave.
Ji Wei also stood up and said to two colleagues: "Go home early and rest."
After speaking, he walked out.
Chairman Fang felt a surge within, deliberately slowed his pace, walking out of the meeting room one after another with him.
He took out his phone pretending to make a call, and once the other two committee members left, he covertly glanced at Ji Wei.
He confirmed, Ji Wei also glanced back at him.
His heart was subtly reassured, turned around and walked towards the elevator.
Ji Wei didn’t follow, Chairman Fang exited the elevator, promptly left the hotel, and in the parking lot lit a cigarette.
He waited for about twenty minutes or so, just as he questioned whether the glance earlier was misunderstood, he finally saw Ji Wei emerge from the hotel.
Ji Wei paused, slowly scanning the parking lot, and upon seeing him, revealed a slight smile, then avoided the surveillance cameras, heading towards a blind spot.
Chairman Fang understood everything at that moment.
This Ji Wei was indeed waiting for him to contact!
However, this person is too cautious in his actions, even inviting him over was through the normal procedure of inviting a whistleblower.
If he hadn’t grasped his true intentions, there was no chance of asking him for a favor.
Also for Ji Wei, if one couldn’t even grasp this, no matter how much money Chairman Fang had, he wouldn’t accept it.
After all, he couldn’t dare to accept money from a fool; it was asking for trouble.
A few minutes later, they stood in the dark corner of the parking lot.
Just as Chairman Fang was about to speak, he suddenly saw Ji Wei take out a phone.
He hesitated for a moment, quickly understood his intention, and also took out his phone, showing it to Ji Wei, then opened his coat to indicate he had no eavesdropping equipment.
At this moment, Chairman Fang had an illusion of being part of an underground party meeting.
After showing his status, Chairman Fang finally whispered: "That reporter will be threatened again tomorrow. If he gets caught by the police, he will testify that it was Song Guanchao who ordered him."
He was going to solidify Song Guanchao’s threat to the reporter!
