At the Pinnacle of Power: My Insider Report Alarms Bigwigs in Beijing's Elite Circle

Following the conclusion of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee submitted an application to the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee regarding the establishment of a working group by the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee to handle the Hengyuan Group issue.

After receiving the application report, the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the CPC convened a Standing Committee meeting to review the report. Disagreements arose at the meeting, but the application was ultimately approved by a show of hands.

The General Office of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee issued a document to the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee in accordance with the resolution of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and the whole process was in full compliance with the procedural regulations.

While distancing himself from the Hengyuan Group affair, Guo Kaiping also indirectly helped Lin Yi distance himself from the matter—it was not a personal decision, but a collective one!

After receiving the notification from the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the CPC, the Pengcheng Municipal Committee immediately established a working group in accordance with the meeting's resolution, drawing on its best personnel from various units.

On the second day after the working group was established, Xie Limin, the deputy leader, led a team to Hengyuan Group, where they held a special meeting, made work arrangements, and requested Hengyuan Group to fully support and cooperate with the working group's work.

three days later.

Xiao Xueqiang, the newly appointed chairman of the board of directors of Hengyuan Group, came to the municipal government and requested to meet with Lin Yi.

After Secretary Wang Minrui reported the news to Lin Yi, Lin Yi instructed Wang Minrui to postpone the original reception and meet with Xiao Xueqiang first.

"Excuse me, Mayor Lin, I'm sorry to bother you."

After entering, Xiao Xueqiang first apologized to Lin Yi, showing great respect for him.

Because Lin Yi easily caused the collapse of Hengyuan Group, a huge real estate empire, and made Shen Wancai, who was expected to challenge for the title of richest man, step on the sewing machine—this kind of power far exceeded the power of the mayor of Pengcheng City, and also exceeded Xiao Xueqiang's understanding!

"Mr. Xiao, please have a seat."

Lin Yi got up to greet Xiao Xueqiang and sat down with him on the sofa in the reception area.

Xiao Xueqiang composed himself and proactively reported, "Mayor Lin, the working group has been stationed at Hengyuan Group for three days. Mayor Xie convened a special meeting to deploy related work. Hengyuan Group is cooperating with the working group's investigation in accordance with its instructions and is trying to eliminate the negative impact on Hengyuan Group. Currently, Hengyuan Group is facing two problems."

First, ensuring the timely delivery of the completed projects was extremely difficult. Construction companies and material suppliers for ongoing projects demanded that the group pay outstanding debts before continuing construction and supplying materials. Second, because the group's accounts were frozen, a short-term bank debt could not be repaid on time, resulting in a default. The original bank, along with other banks, sued the group, demanding repayment of the debts.

"President Xiao, Mayor Xie has already reported to me about these two issues. He asked you and Hengyuan Group to come up with a solution. What is your solution?" Lin Yi asked.

Xiao Xueqiang said, "Mayor Lin, Hengyuan Group suggests holding a press conference to announce measures to ensure the timely delivery of the properties. However, we hope that the municipal government or the working group can send someone to attend the press conference to endorse the group, thereby convincing homebuyers, construction companies, and material suppliers of the group's determination to ensure the timely delivery. At the same time, the group has decided to sell its assets in a package to repay its debts."

"Mr. Xiao, please make a note of this."

Lin Yi pondered for a few seconds, first reminding Xiao Xueqiang to take out his notebook to take notes, and then said, "Mayor Xie and Mayor Kong will accompany you to the press conference. Hengyuan Group has established a special fund for projects under construction, and a working group will supervise its implementation throughout the process and monitor the special fund account to ensure that all special funds are used to ensure the timely delivery of the buildings. At the same time, the working group will contact the local government departments where the projects under construction are located to ask the local governments to help supervise Hengyuan Group to complete all projects under construction."

Regarding Hengyuan Group's asset sales to repay debts, you must learn from past lessons, expedite implementation, and abandon any illusions. Sell all assets, including high-value commercial real estate, residential properties, and land in first-tier cities. Once the funds are recovered, prioritize ensuring the timely delivery of projects under construction before paying off other outstanding debts. The working group will provide some support in this regard, such as assisting Hengyuan Group in contacting buyers.

"Okay, thank you, Mayor Lin!"

Xiao Xueqiang immediately accepted the order and expressed his gratitude to Lin Yi. At the same time, he understood that Lin Yi's biggest concern was ensuring the smooth handover of the buildings and protecting the interests of the people to the greatest extent possible, thereby ensuring stability and reducing the impact of the Hengyuan Group incident.

After Xiao Xueqiang left, Lin Yi called Xie Limin, the executive vice mayor, to his office and told him the instructions he had given to Xiao Xueqiang. He asked the working group to provide some support to Hengyuan Group while doing a good job of supervision, to help Hengyuan Group solve the problem and calm down the impact of the incident as soon as possible.

Although Executive Vice Mayor Xie Limin was Guo Kaiping's man, he had no objection to Lin Yi's decision.

Because he knew that Guo Kaiping didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Under these circumstances, how could he possibly offend Lin Yi because of work?

After Lin Yi finished assigning tasks, he personally saw Xie Limin out of the office. Then, sitting at his desk, without even having a sip of tea, he received a call from Kong Zhao.

"Mayor, Shen Wancai probably knows he can't escape this time, and he's refusing to confess to anything involving the He family gang in eastern Guangdong. Should we take some measures?"

Kong Zhao first reported and then asked for instructions. He knew that Lin Yi wanted to obtain information about the violations of discipline and law by the core members of the He family gang in eastern Guangdong through Shen Wancai, but Shen Wancai refused to disclose it.

He was skilled at using techniques such as memory recovery to extract confessions from criminal suspects, but as he was promoted, he rarely used them anymore.

Especially when it comes to key cases or key criminal suspects, Lin Yi would specifically remind Kong Zhao that all interrogations must be legal and compliant.

"Don't resort to underhanded tactics, I'll go over and do some ideological work with him."

Lin Yi rejected Kong Zhao's suggestion and prepared to personally pry open Shen Wancai's mouth.

It's reasonable for him to be the head of the working group and to supervise the police team's interrogation of Shen Wancai.

after an hour.

When Lin Yi arrived at the Economic Crime Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Kong Zhao, along with the deputy director in charge of economic crime investigation and the head of the division, greeted him downstairs.

Lin Yi went to the office of the head of the Economic Crime Investigation Division and first watched the video of Shen Wancai being interrogated.

In the video, Shen Wancai no longer had the high spirits he once had, but he also didn't look terrified like a typical criminal suspect; instead, he appeared calm.

As a local hero, Shen Wancai indeed possessed abilities that ordinary people did not have: he was willing to accept defeat and follow through on his bets.

But like everyone else, Shen Wancai also has his weaknesses.

Lin Yi happened to know Shen Wancai's weakness!

After watching the video, Lin Yi only took Kong Zhao into the interrogation room and had the surveillance equipment turned off.

"I never expected that Mayor Lin would personally come to interrogate me. I am truly fortunate!" When Shen Wancai saw Lin Yi, he was initially surprised, then his face turned mocking, and his eyes were filled with intense hatred as he looked at Lin Yi!

In his view, the reason he had fallen to this state was entirely due to the sins committed by Lin Yi!

"Shen Wancai, I don't work in the public security system, how could I possibly interrogate you? I'm just here to have a chat." Lin Yi sat at the deliberation table and smiled slightly.

Shen Wancai sneered, "Lin Yi, I know what you want, but I can tell you clearly, don't even dream about it. Even if you kill me, I won't let you have your way!"

"Then tell me, what do I want?" Lin Yi's smile remained unchanged.

Shen Wancai sneered, not replying, but staring coldly at Lin Yi, as if asking: You think I'm stupid for trying to fool me with such a petty trick?

“Shen Wancai, I know you believe you have to pay the price for Hengyuan Group’s actions, so you’re giving up and refusing to cooperate with the police investigation. For you, whether you plead guilty or not, the outcome is the same, right?” Lin Yi said again.

Shen Wancai sneered, "Lin Yi, since you already know, why waste your breath?"

“Shen Wancai, I want to remind you that whether you confess to your illegal and criminal acts may not mean anything to you, but it does mean something to your wife and children.”

Lin Yi gave his answer, and at the same time clearly noticed that Shen Wancai's eye muscles twitched. He pressed on while the iron was hot, "If you don't confess to the crime, the public security organs can only conclude that your wife and children were also involved in some things."

"No, I did everything; it has nothing to do with them!"

Shen Wancai's tone was somewhat somber. He cared deeply about his wife and children; otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to transfer assets overseas after sensing something was wrong, and he wouldn't have divorced his wife so she could take the children abroad.

His wife and children are Shen Wancai's Achilles' heel!

In his previous life, Shen Wancai also sent his wife and youngest son abroad and transferred a huge amount of money before he went to prison.

In this life, Lin Yi prevented all of this from happening!

"Shen Wancai, your eldest son is in charge of Hengyuan Group's business and has been involved in related illegal activities. The evidence is conclusive."

Lin Yi said calmly, "Currently, the public security authorities are also collecting evidence of your wife's and your youngest son's crimes. I think it won't be difficult for the public security authorities to complete this task. What do you think?"

"you……"

Shen Wancai's pupils instantly shrank to the most dangerous needle-like shape, and eight words flashed through his mind: "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext."

"So this is Lin Qingtian's true face?"

After a brief period of anger and anxiety, Shen Wancai forced himself to calm down and deliberately provoked Lin Yi with a remark.

Lin Yi replied irrelevantly, "Shen Wancai, I'll only give you one minute to consider."

"Lin Yi, if you promise me one thing and answer one question, I will cooperate with the police investigation." Shen Wancai stared at Lin Yi for half a minute, thinking of Lin Yi's past experiences and everything that happened after Hengyuan Group was targeted by Lin Yi, and finally gave in!

Lin Yi was not surprised by Shen Wancai's compromise: "Go on."

"Ensure the safety of my wife and youngest son," Shen Wancai stated as his first condition.

Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "Shen Wancai, if your wife and youngest son are involved in the crime, you may be given lenient treatment based on your meritorious service. If they are not involved in the crime, I guarantee their safety!"

"it is good!"

Shen Wancai gritted his teeth and finally asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time, "Lin Yi, there are so many real estate companies, why are you targeting me and Hengyuan Group?"

"Because you're bolder than them!" Lin Yi said.

Shen Wancai then asked, "Why did you know some of Hengyuan Group's secrets in advance?"

"This is the second question."

Lin Yi avoided answering and simply got up and left.

Watching Lin Yi's departing figure, Shen Wancai felt as if his heart was being scratched by cat claws, eager to know the answer.

He Qingyun, the leading figure of the younger generation of the He family, also had this feeling!
