Zhang Yulin's wife is around forty years old. Although she wears gold and silver, her looks are average, her skin has lost its luster, and the crow's feet around her eyes are heavy. She's the kind of middle-aged woman who doesn't evoke much interest.
"Double regulations?"
Upon hearing Qin Yuejin's words, the woman showed a confused expression.
Qin Yuejin frowned: "You don't know?"
"I don't know." The woman spoke nervously: "He's been under double regulations?"
"Yes."
Qin Yuejin didn't have ti to explain further to her, so after a brief chat, he left.
He sat in the car, feeling restless.
In the afternoon, he finally received a call from He Kang, clarifying the specific details of Zhang Yulin's double regulations.
His worries had co true; it was indeed because of that loan company!
Soone had sent a report letter to the City Committee, and it was sent twice.
"Who made the report?"
"You ask , who do I ask?"
He Kang said: "Keep a low profile for now and see if any further reports follow."
"Do you suspect the target is ?"
He Kang said: "The company only involves a few of us, so is there any need to doubt?"
"By the way," Qin Yuejin said, "Zhang Yulin's house was robbed."
"What happened?"
"A burglar broke in yesterday and the police report was filed today. The safe at ho is missing."
"Hiss~"
He Kang imdiately understood what he was implying.
He suspected that the burglar and the informant might be the sa person.
It was indeed a strong possibility.
He Kang said: "You need to find a way to et with Zhang Yulin and ask him what was kept in the safe."
"I'll try my best."
"It's not a matter of trying; it's a must! If they are after us, once they gather any damaging information, they will definitely continue reporting."
"I understand."
Qin Yuejin felt sowhat heavy-hearted.
He thought the whole thing was simply baffling.
Zhang Yulin was reported out of the blue, and crucially, the informant could directly send the report to the City Committee and the Disciplinary Committee, indicating that this person was also within the system and held an unusual identity.
It was just unclear who the real target was.
If it was Zhang Xiaoxian, the target had already been hit.
If it's him, himself...
Qin Yuejin pondered whom he had offended recently.
It seed, apparently... he hadn't offended anyone.
He had been laying low lately.
If he had to say, it would only be Song Guanchao.
"Is it him?"
Qin Yuejin raised an eyebrow.
He realized that the possibility of it being Song Guanchao was rather high.
Firstly, this guy worked in the City Committee and could discreetly place the report in Qu Xiangru's office.
Secondly, there had been conflicts between them more than once.
But it was just a guess, without evidence, difficult to be certain.
Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Qin Yuejin called Secretary Wang.
"Secretary Wang, I heard District Chief Zhang is under double regulations?" he asked casually.
"Yes, what's up?"
"District Chief Zhang's house was robbed."
"When did it happen?"
"Just this morning." Qin Yuejin said, "I need to have District Chief Zhang make a record. Is it convenient?"
Secretary Wang said: "You need to wait; I need to report to Secretary Qu first."
"Alright, I'll wait for your call."
Qin Yuejin cursed inwardly; such a trivial matter needed to be reported to Qu Xiangru.
A few minutes later, Secretary Wang called back: "You can co over."
Qin Yuejin went to the hotel.
District Chief Zhang was temporarily residing there to explain his issues.
He didn't have much left to confess since it was a voluntary surrender.
Currently, it's mainly in the investigation stage.
"Director Qin." Zhang Yulin seed a bit surprised.
Qin Yuejin closed the door and said seriously: "What's up with you? You surrendered without telling ?"
Zhang Yulin looked a bit embarrassed: "I was too rushed, I forgot."
Qin Yuejin snorted, pulled out a cigarette, handed him one, and sat on the bed: "Tell , what's going on?"
Zhang Yulin said: "I was reported. Originally, when it was reported the first ti, the City Committee didn't want to make a big fuss and handed it to the City Governnt."
"Who would have thought that idiot would continue to report."
Qin Yuejin asked: "Do you know who reported it?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't have surrendered."
Zhang Yulin sighed: "Since I've surrendered, I can't be bothered to think too much. I'll just consider it a costly lesson. My brother said, at most, it would be a double dismissal."
"Double dismissal?" Qin Yuejin sneered: "You're naive. Do you know your house was robbed!"
"Robbed? What was stolen?"
"A burglar visited your ho last night and stole the safe."
Zhang Yulin was stunned, his eyes wide: "Shit! Did you catch the thief?"
"If I had, would I co to you?"
Qin Yuejin suddenly lowered his voice: "Was there anything important in your safe?"
Zhang Yulin knew what he ant by important things.
He quickly shook his head: "Just so gold bars bought from the bank and the property deeds."
Qin Yuejin stared into his eyes: "No USBs or notebooks?"
"No." Zhang Yulin's look was strange: "What are you thinking?"
Once Qin Yuejin was convinced he wasn't lying, he felt slightly relieved.
"You rest; I'll leave now."
Having gotten the answer he needed, Qin Yuejin saw no reason to stay.
After leaving, he contacted He Kang.
"There was nothing important in the safe."
"He wasn't lying?"
"No." He still had that discerning eye.
He Kang said: "That loan company can't continue."
Qin Yuejin felt a chill in his heart.
This loan company generated millions in profits annually, his share alone.
But now, it had to be abandoned.
Qin Yuejin was infuriated, wanting to drag out that informant and shoot them!
"Does your ho have a safe?" He Kang suddenly asked.
"Yes."
"Relocate the important items and place a tracker in the safe."
"You suspect they'll co to my house to steal?"
"Better safe than sorry."
"Alright, understood."
...
City Governnt, in the office.
Secretary Fang Wei was reporting to Jiang Yuan.
"In Zhang Yulin's safe, there were only so investnt gold bars and property deeds. Nothing else."
"Nothing else?"
Jiang Yuan pondered for a few seconds and said, "Keep an eye on Qin Yuejin and check out his residences."
"Okay."
...
Song Guanchao waited until the afternoon but never got a call from the provincial branch's President Lu.
It seed that President Lu took Qu Xiangru's words as just rhetoric.
Song Guanchao had to call him proactively.
"Hello, is this President Lu?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"Song Guanchao."
The na sounded sowhat familiar.
Quickly, Lu Zhou recalled: "Oh, it's Secretary Song. Hello, has there been progress in the case?"
"Yes, a little progress. It's not convenient to discuss over the phone. President Lu, are you available to et?"
"No problem, I'm still in Lingjiang..."
"I'm in Gusu City."
Lu Zhou paused, this ant he was asking him to go to Gusu City for a face-to-face?
Lu Zhou's first reaction was that Secretary Song wasn't respecting him.
After all, he was a provincial branch president.
And Song Guanchao was just a small secretary.
He had already shown respect by offering to buy him a al.
But Song Guanchao was asking him to co all the way to Gusu City.
He felt displeased inside.
But then he thought, maybe there had been significant progress in the case.
Otherwise, why would he ask him to co over?
Also, Secretary Song was tracking those fraudsters out of town, so logically, he should be short on ti.
Yet, he was still making the ti to see him.
Lu Zhou thought to himself, perhaps he was being too small-minded.
"Let's et tonight then."
