I just joined the inspection department, and the whole country is in a panic.

"We were able to uncover Xu Angxiong this time thanks to your unwavering support, Director Ding. If you hadn't given me the freedom to lead the investigation into Xu Angxiong's ex-wife, we probably wouldn't have been able to find a breakthrough so quickly!" Yang Wen said with a smile.

Ding Feng felt very comfortable with Yang Wen's words.

Look at this, this is a talented person, not only is he capable, but he also speaks so well!

"Well, it turns out that you fulfilled the promise you made back then in just a few days. I'll have to make sure the other members learn from you; you're their role model!"

Changing the subject, Ding Feng said in a deep voice, "Bring Xu Lixian back tomorrow. We'll summon Xu Angxiong for a talk first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Okay!" Yang Wen nodded.

……

Early the next morning.

Xu Angxiong had only been at his workplace for a short time when he received a call from Ding Feng.

Upon hearing that the call was from the investigation team, Xu Angxiong's expression turned serious.

"Team Leader Ding, what can I do for you?"

"Come over here with our investigation team now. We have some questions for you," Ding Feng said.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” Xu Angxiong didn’t suspect anything.

He figured that this time he was being called in for questioning was probably just a routine inquiry.

After all, the investigation team calls them in for questioning every few days, and he's gotten used to it.

There shouldn't be any problems.

And so, with a calm expression, Xu Angxiong arrived at the investigation team's office.

In the interrogation room.

Ding Feng looked at Xu Angxiong, who had a calm expression, and asked with a slight smile, "Comrade Xu Angxiong, we've come to ask you some questions!"

"Team Leader Ding, please ask."

"Your ex-wife reported you, saying you embezzled a lot of money and hid a large portion of it with her! You and she also had a fake divorce, just to avoid trouble later, right?" Ding Feng asked the other party with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xu Angxiong felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Have you been discovered?

impossible!

His ex-wife lived in a different city, far away from him.

Furthermore, the two of them rarely make phone calls. Whenever he wants to visit his wife and son, he goes quietly and rarely gives advance notice.

What I fear most is being targeted!

In reality, he deliberately distanced himself from his ex-wife and son.

But how does Ding Feng know that he hid most of his money with his ex-wife?

He even knew that his divorce from his ex-wife was a sham?!

"No way! How could that be! Do I need to hide my meager salary? Is there some kind of rumor going on?" Xu Angxiong looked surprised and then denied it outright.

"Are you sure you didn't embezzle?" Ding Feng asked with a stern face.

"No, absolutely not! How could I possibly do anything that would betray the organization or the people?" Xu Angxiong quickly waved his hand.

Looking at Xu Angxiong, who was still putting on an act, Ding Feng sneered: "Your wife, no, your ex-wife Xu Lixian, has confessed! We found 167 million yuan in cash in her house, as well as various luxury goods worth more than 200,000 yuan."

"Xu Lixian is being escorted back here by my men. Are you sure you still want to deny it?" Ding Feng sneered.

Upon hearing this, Xu Angxiong's expression changed drastically!

Although he didn't know exactly how much cash his ex-wife still had, it was definitely over a million.

After all, his ex-wife also needed money.

"What, you still think I'm bluffing you? Do you want me to call your ex-wife and have her speak to you?" Ding Feng looked at Xu Angxiong, who remained silent, and snorted coldly.

To be honest, Xu Angxiong still felt that the other party might be bluffing him.

What if the amount of cash the other party mentions happens to be roughly the same as what we're offering?

But Ding Feng's next words instantly filled him with despair!

"We also found a small ledger in your ex-wife's house, which listed who sent you money, what they sent, and the dates. I noticed that most of the names on it belonged to casino owners. Good heavens, you're blind to what's right under your nose!" Ding Feng shouted angrily.

Upon hearing this, Xu Angxiong's face turned deathly pale, and his heart sank to the bottom.

When the other party mentioned the small ledger, he knew that they had definitely searched his ex-wife's house.

In this way, he had virtually no chance of getting away with it.

"Team Leader Ding... I... I know I was wrong. I... I didn't mean to at first, but... but they just gave me so much... I... I couldn't help but accept it..."

“Once there’s a first time, there will be a second time, no, countless times! I deserve to die, I can’t withstand the test!” Xu Angxiong knew that the situation was already settled, and there was no point in continuing to deny it, so he simply admitted it.

"Alright, alright! Then tell me, from the first time you started collecting money until now, how many people have you collected money from, and whose money were they?"

……

At noon.

Yang Wen and his men rushed back as fast as they could.

When Yang Wen entered the interrogation room, Ding Feng was questioning Xu Angxiong about Liu Zhibao's case.

"Xiao Yang, you're back!"

Upon seeing Yang Wen, Ding Feng asked with a smile.

"Yes, I just arrived."

“You’ve come at the right time. I was just about to ask him about Liu Zhibao.”

"When the county sent your investigation team to investigate and interrogate Liu Zhibao, did you use torture to extract a confession? Liu Zhibao said that he did not receive more than three million yuan at all, and that you forced him to accept that amount. Is that right?" Ding Feng asked bluntly.

These words caused Xu Angxiong to fall silent for a moment.

Seeing Xu Angxiong remain silent, Yang Wen suddenly spoke up: "Comrade Xu Angxiong, I advise you to tell the truth. The province attaches great importance to this case. If you can provide some useful clues, that would be a way for you to atone for your crime!"

"Xiao Yang is right! You were the first to say it, so it has a different meaning. I hope you'll think about it carefully! Do you want to just give up?"

Listening to Yang Wen and Ding Feng's words, Xu Angxiong understood how he should make a choice now!

"I say, I am willing to say it!"

“When our investigation team interrogated Liu Zhibao, we did indeed use underhanded tactics! We not only tortured him to extract a confession, but also punched and kicked him. What he said was all true. We forced him to pay that 300 million yuan! We just wanted to make sure he would never be released again.”

"really!"

Yang Wen and Ding Feng exchanged a glance.

What Liu Zhibao said is all true!

"Who can get your whole group to do this? You probably can't," Ding Feng sneered.

"Of course I couldn't do it. Yes, it was Wu Zhenghao who subtly instructed us to do it this way!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wen and Ding Feng exchanged a glance. So, this Wu Zhenghao is going to control everything?
