Chapter 948 -904: Zhang Tian’en is Taken Away

Upon reflecting on this, Nie Zhenbang, who had also been somewhat anxious, was completely relieved. Unknowingly, he had also walked into a trap, being too hasty and eager for quick results. In fact, looking back now, he realized he indeed had been a bit rash. He also lacked a full judgment of Comrade Liu Wei.

On the other hand, it was him who had personally requested Liu Wei. What did this indicate? It showed that he had absolute confidence in Liu Wei. Yet now, in his eagerness, he found his attitude had changed somewhat. This kind of thinking was not acceptable.

Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Nie Zhenbang then adjusted his approach and said to Vice President Li, “Old Li, regarding the matters of disciplinary inspection, when the special task force was established, I had already made assurances and promises to Comrade Liu Wei concerning the task force. We must not interfere, exert pressure, or create obstacles. Moreover, we should provide whatever personnel or resources they need. Though the task force has not formally engaged with the core issues yet, we should fully trust the task force and cooperate with them—that is what we ought to do.”

Vice President Li was no fool. The most anxious about the establishment of the task force should have been Nie Zhenbang. The situation was triggered by him; if problems were found, all would be well, but if not, certainly some people would not just sit idly by.

Director Nie was so confident—surely he must have received some unknown information from the task force.

With this in mind, Vice President Li also smiled and said, “Yes, yes, Director Nie, your criticism is justified. I was a bit unsettled. Please rest assured, Director Nie, I will give it my all to coordinate and support the work of the task force and ensure they have no concerns.”

…

What Nie Zhenbang and others did not know was that the task force did have actions in play. With Liu Wei’s tactics, how could it not be so? A large group had settled into the group, checking this and that, reviewing documents today, interviewing people tomorrow. All this commotion was indeed a smokescreen deployed by Liu Wei. The goal was to create a powerful psychological pressure within Huaxia Group.

But the task force was not idle. Furthermore, Liu Wei had singled out a few individuals and had begun a separate line of investigation.

Based on the information provided by Nie Zhenbang, Liu Wei quickly identified some suspicious points. Nie Zhenbang’s suspicion that Zhang Shengshan was up to no good was not unfounded. From the clues on the materials, it could be seen that Zhang Shengshan’s son, Zhang Tian’en, had established a business consulting company.

And this company did indeed have a rather delicate relationship with Victorious Construction Co. There were many contacts, and based on this information, Liu Wei determined that this time, Victorious Construction Co.’s winning bid had a lot to do with Zhang Tian’en.

In the conference room of Nanjiang Hotel, all members of the task force were present for the meeting, except for those who were tied up with other important responsibilities.

The meeting was presided over by Secretary Zhou Bingliang of the Ganzhou Province Disciplinary Committee. Liu Wei’s face was composed, without much expression. Zhou Bingliang briefly introduced the general progress of the task force’s work, then directly addressed the matter, “Li, you are following up on Zhang Tian’en. Please update us on the specific progress of your work.”

The fact that the head of a provincial disciplinary committee was now only qualified to preside over a meeting was proof enough of the high standards of the task force. From top to bottom, no one showed the slightest neglect.

The official with the surname Li was the head of the third division of discipline inspection and supervision of the Ganzhou Province Disciplinary Committee. Although he was actually in his thirties or forties, in front of Zhou Bingliang, and in front of the higher-ranking Liu Wei, he was indeed Li.

Hearing his superior speak, the official named Li straightened up and then said, “Chief, Secretary Zhou, and comrades, according to our investigation these past few days, Tianen Business Consulting Company does have a particularly close relationship with Victorious Construction Co. Previously, in projects such as Factory 38 and many others where Victorious Construction Co. won the bid, there was always a shadow of Tianen Business Consulting behind. Additionally, our undercover investigation revealed that this individual has an extensive social network, dealing with all kinds of people, suspected of bullying, malicious harm, and other problems. Furthermore, Zhang Tian’en’s lifestyle is extremely corrupt. According to the investigation, Zhang Tian’en owns eleven properties in Ganzhou and additional real estate in Jingcheng, Hucheng City, and Nanhai City. According to the business condition and income of Tianen Company, it is simply impossible to have such profits. Our group has discussed and concluded that his property constitutes an enormous income of unknown origin. We suggest that immediate action be taken to control Zhang Tian’en.”

After finishing, the head of the investigation team from Huaxia Group in Ganzhou, Ding Weiguang, the director of the first division of the Ganzhou Provincial Party Committee Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision, also spoke, “Based on the investigation of Huaxia Group these past few days, this bid was overseen by Ding Weiguang, the executive vice president of Huaxia Group. Others apparently did not come into contact with the bidding documents. However, one piece of evidence suggests that, during the review process of the bidding documents, Zhang Shengshan had visited Ding Weiguang. This is the only suspicious point. Our view is that measures should be taken against both Ding Weiguang and Zhang Shengshan for questioning and investigation.”

As the reports concluded, Zhou Bingliang turned to look at Liu Wei beside him and said, “Senior leader, what do you think?”

Liu Wei was a senior leader, as well as the head of the task force. Naturally, Zhou Bingliang did not dare presume. The respect for hierarchy within the system was very important. Zhou Bingliang was well aware of this and paid even more attention to such details. He was no young, inexperienced man; any mishaps on such matters could lead to a completely different perspective from the leadership.

Liu Wei nodded and then said, “I have been paying close attention to the work these past few days, and everyone has been working hard. First, on behalf of the organization and the task force, I would like to thank everyone. Our efforts over these days have been effective and have reaped rich rewards. Regarding the issues with Zhang Tian’en and Tianen Business Consulting, considering that Zhang Tian’en is not a person within the system, I suggest that Comrade Zhou Bingliang take the lead in coordinating with our comrades from the Ganzhou Provincial Public Security Bureau to assist in the investigation.”

From this point of view, Liu Wei was extremely sophisticated. He had thought through all aspects of the issue and concerns. The Disciplinary Committee dealt with party and government departments and state-owned enterprises, and since Zhang Tian’en was neither a public official nor part of the system, it was inappropriate for the Disciplinary Committee to intervene. Using the police to step in nipped in the bud any chance for certain people to cause trouble.

Seeing Zhou Bingliang nod, Liu Wei continued, “Additionally, regarding the handling of Ding Weiguang and Zhang Shengshan, in principle, I agree with the special investigation team’s opinion. However, we need to be careful with the approach. At present, when the factual basis is still unclear, it’s better to adopt an inquiry approach. I do not recommend using shuanggui for now.”

This was where Liu Wei showed his experience. By striking with the force of thunder to gain control over Zhang Tian’en, and then isolating and questioning Zhang Shengshan and Ding Weiguang, internally, this was fundamentally different from shuanggui. But to outsiders, the distinction was not so clear. Zhang Tian’en’s line of defense would inevitably weaken; his father was under shuanggui, and with his last support gone, he would surely become fearful. This would make interrogating Zhang Tian’en much easier.

Moreover, this matter was complementary. Once Zhang Tian’en spoke, it meant there would be a breakthrough in the case. By then, Zhang Shengshan would probably have no choice but to obediently submit to the law.

…

Ganzhou City, New State North Road

This was the most scenic area of Ganzhou City. To the left in the distance lay a range of undulating hills, and at the foot of the mountains was New State Lake, which covered an area of about six hundred acres. Surrounding New State Lake, this area was home to the most luxurious residential districts in Ganzhou City.

Across New State Lake on New State North Road, the compounds of the Ganzhou Provincial Party Committee and Ganlan Municipal Committee were scattered in the vicinity.

Zhang Tian’en also had a villa here, a property developed by Victorious Construction Co.

It was now late at night, and Zhang Tian’en’s Porsche sports car zoomed through the community gate. The gate of Dacheng Luxurious Residence was equipped with an advanced automatic sensing device; for residents’ vehicles, the gate would open upon their approach.

The car shot forward, squealing to a halt in front of the villa. The door opened, and a somewhat tipsy Zhang Tian’en stepped out, walked around to the passenger side, and helped a woman out of the car.

This was the privilege of wealthy playboys; days of revelry, nights of reinventing themselves. As for how they won over the women, be it money, power, or deceit, as long as they could get what they wanted, they were relentless and unstoppable.

However, as Zhang Tian’en unlocked the door and was about to close it, two men blocked the entrance.

Zhang Tian’en raised an eyebrow, displaying some anger. The woman was a catch from the bar tonight, a top choice in both figure and looks. He had been about to enjoy a blissful night, and now these unexpected visitors showed up.

Zhang Tian’en was startled for a moment, then snapped, “What are you guys doing here? Don’t you know this is a private residence? If you have any sense, get lost right now, or else don’t blame me for calling security.”

No sooner had he spoken than one of the men took out a credential from his inner jacket pocket, waved it in front of Zhang Tian’en, and gestured to hand it over, saying, “Zhang Tian’en, we are from the Ganzhou Provincial Public Security Bureau. According to reports from the public, you’re suspected of multiple incidents of malicious harm. Under the instructions of the bureau’s party committee, we ask you to come with us for assistance in the investigation. This is the arrest warrant.”

Hearing the man’s words, Zhang Tian’en became somewhat panicked. Although his father had some power, it was mainly within Ganzhou City. He hadn’t expected Ganzhou Province to intervene this time.

Looking at the two men, Zhang Tian’en said, “You can’t take me. My father is the deputy head of Huaxia Group, and I work for Huaxia Group.”

Hearing Zhang Tian’en’s words, one of the men snorted coldly and said, “Zhang Tian’en, don’t try to intimidate us with your father. Soon, your father won’t even be able to save himself. Besides, what of Huaxia Group? If laws are broken, it still falls under the jurisdiction of Ganzhou Province.” (
