Anti-gang office.

Huo Deguang had already decided to leave this place, to leave this place of trouble. He had already dealt with the people he needed to deal with and done everything he needed to do.

Now that I've reaped the benefits but also gotten myself into a lot of trouble, I'm preparing to submit an application to my superiors, citing poor health as the reason for my retirement.

However, today, Zhong Haiming's secretary from the provincial capital rushed over to report that Zhang Fan had extorted ten million yuan from him.

Ten million?

Huo Deguang's eyes lit up immediately.

Zhong Jiahao smashed the shop and should be compensated, but ten million is completely beyond reasonable limits.

In that case, there is no problem in reporting it as extortion.

If you do it right, you can really get that kid in!

This is great news! I've been looking for a way to deal with that kid, and now the opportunity has come.

Huo Deguang immediately led the relevant personnel to the scene.

How can this kid run away this time?

More than a dozen cars drove straight to the shop.

Li Fu and Xue Yi from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, as well as representatives from the local police station and criminal investigation bureau, all came.

Li Fu only found out what happened when he arrived at the scene.

Otherwise, Zhang Fan would have been notified in advance.

Now everyone knows what happened when they say Zhang Fan extorted ten million; it's because his shop was vandalized.

Demanding 100 billion would have been perfectly acceptable, not excessive at all.

But this money was demanded from Zhong Haiming, so if you were to force a calculation, it could indeed be considered extortion.

Li Fu was also secretly helpless; it seemed this kid was doomed.

I just found out that someone is shorting Wanfu Group. I didn't expect this guy to get into trouble again.

Huo Deguang walked in, saw Zhang Fan leisurely tapping on the abacus, and smiled.

"Zhang Fan, someone has reported you for extortion. We've come to investigate. We're handling this case impartially, and we hope you can cooperate. People from the Binhai City Public Security Bureau are also here."

Huo Deguang specifically pointed to Li Fu, knowing that Li Fu had some connection with Zhang Fan.

"Oh? Okay then, extortion? That requires evidence, right? As long as the evidence is conclusive, I'll go with you right away."

Zhang Fan stopped what he was doing, held a teacup in one hand, and leisurely drank his tea.

“We received a report from a whistleblower that you extorted ten million yuan. Now that the witnesses and physical evidence have been secured, what else do you have to say?”

Huo Deguang said confidently.

"Oh? You're saying I extorted ten million? Where's the money?"

Zhang Fan shrugged.

money?

The money has been deposited into the account.

It's in this kid's account.

"Now that the Economic Crime Investigation Department is here, let's check. Where is my ten million? If I don't have ten million, can I sue someone for false accusation?"

Zhang Fan countered with a question.

If it's not ten million, then it must be a false accusation.

"Where are the economic crime investigators? Go ahead and investigate. We value evidence. Since the person involved doesn't admit it, then let's investigate."

Huo Deguang looked at the people on the other side.

check?

The economic crime investigators came up and began using their authority to check the accounts.

Zhang Fan himself is right here. If it's extortion, then you definitely have to transfer money to Zhang Fan's account first.

The investigation revealed a shocking truth: Zhang Fan's account was completely empty, with no deposits for the past few months and had been frozen for some time.

However, there is a loan of one billion yuan, which was definitely not a transfer and is not within the scope of the investigation.

"Director Huo, there is no ten million, nor are there any other transfer records, except for a loan."

No?

That's impossible.

Zhong Haiming's secretary went to report the case and provided various proofs, but there was no income.

Transfers are now processed in real time; it's impossible for them not to arrive.

Did the secretary make a mistake?

To accuse this guy of extortion, there needs to be evidence.

With so many people watching, I can't just take them away without any evidence.

Organized crime is our primary focus, while extortion falls under the jurisdiction of the municipal bureau.

"Check again carefully to see if the money has been transferred."

Huo Deguang gave a brief explanation and walked out, then called the secretary to ask if the transfer had actually been completed.

I'm furious right now. If I don't report it to the police, won't I become the one who gets ripped off?

The city bureau staff are all watching.

Although I am the director of the anti-gang office, I still need to rely on evidence and the law.

The economic crime investigators checked again, but found nothing; the kid was very poor and had no money.

There are no other accounts.

I really don't have any money.

Huo Deguang has arrived, and the Secretary-General has sworn to transfer the document.

But we can't find it here.

"Check this account."

Huo Deguang walked over and asked the economic crime investigation team to check another account. Was this kid still trying to hide an account?

Do they really think the economic crime investigators are just sitting around doing nothing?

I'll make this kid truly submit!

This account?

The economic crime investigators checked and then looked at Huo Deguang with a strange expression.

"This is the account of a public welfare organization, a charitable account under a certain celebrity. According to the Charity Law, regardless of whether the source of the money is legitimate, entering this account is considered a charitable donation."

The economic crime investigators checked on Huo Deguang.

"Damn it."

Huo Deguang threw a punch. Was that stupid secretary-general blind?

Transferring money to a charity account and then reporting yourself for extortion?

Now that I've brought a whole bunch of people from the Municipal Bureau here, are they just here to laugh at me?

"Director Huo, is this considered a false accusation?"

Zhang Fan countered with a question.

Huo Deguang's face darkened. He had no evidence, yet he had brought a group of people to cause trouble.

Isn't this a clear case of settling personal scores while on official business?

"If that's the case, then it is indeed a false accusation."
