The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, in room 201 of the Guangfu Hotel, Chen Ze, Chen Daming, Chen Hanting, and Vice Mayor Yang Chengxu discussed with serious expressions how to deal with Wan Guangliang.
Following the trajectory of their previous life, the National Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision came down to investigate Wan Guangliang in January 2012, and it took them a full six months to bring him down.
Yang Chengxu looked at the three members of the Chen Clan Chamber of Commerce present. He had placed all his hopes on them. Now, he was completely suppressed by Wan Guangliang. He had not been moved from the position of deputy mayor for five years.
If you want to climb higher and realize your political ambitions, someone has to make room for you, since the officialdom is like a chessboard.
Each piece has a fixed position, and all positions are already full. No matter how much effort and sweat you put in, if a suitable opportunity doesn't arise, it will all be in vain.
Therefore, for Yang Chengxu, taking down Wan Guangliang was undoubtedly a shortcut to rapid promotion.
So, after looking around at everyone present, he slowly asked:
"Gentlemen, I wonder if you have found any important clues that could help us? Just yesterday, my former boss called me specifically to mention that the Discipline Inspection Commission will be coming down to conduct an inspection at the end of the month."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Daming took out a thick document from his briefcase and respectfully handed it to Yang Chengxu:
"Brother Yang, this is the information I obtained after a thorough investigation. It details the entire situation of Wan Guangliang keeping three mistresses."
Yang Chengxu quickly reached out and took the document, then quickly flipped through it. After only a few glances, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the information was indeed very valuable.
It turns out that this not only involves the intricate network of relationships between Wan Guangliang and his three lovers, but also contains a wealth of compelling evidence that these three lovers accepted various precious antiques, paintings, and other valuables on Wan Guangliang's behalf.
However, despite having so much crucial information, Yang Chengxu knew very well that this alone was probably far from enough.
He furrowed his thick, dark eyebrows tightly, his expression unusually serious.
"You all should know that Wan Guangliang is a very cunning old man. Although his lover has been collecting those precious antiques and paintings for him, Wan Guangliang himself has not been directly involved in it."
"In that case, it will be extremely difficult for us to bring him down with just this evidence! Moreover, if he denies having a special relationship with his lover, it will be very easy for him to exonerate himself."
After hearing these words, the people present nodded in unison, indicating their complete agreement with what Yang Chengxu said.
After all, everyone knows that when facing a cunning and shrewd opponent like Wan Guangliang, the slightest mistake could render all previous efforts futile.
Just then, Chen Ze, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up and solemnly handed the thick stack of documents in his hand to Yang Chengxu.
He then said, "Mayor Yang, please take a look at these dozen or so detailed investigation reports about Wan Guangliang. In my opinion, all this evidence combined should be enough to ensure that Wan Guangliang can never recover."
During the conversation, Chen Ze deliberately and subtly omitted the word "vice" to express his respect and regard for Yang Chengxu's position.
When Yang Chengxu received the heavy stack of incriminating evidence, he was secretly taken aback.
He never expected that Chen Ze, at such a young age, would be able to collect so much detailed and compelling evidence in such a short period of time.
At that moment, he realized that a person's ability should never be judged solely by age.
The seemingly young Chen Ze in front of us is able to possess assets worth tens of billions of yuan. This is by no means simply due to luck or background. There must be extraordinary abilities and wisdom and methods behind him.
Yang Chengxu picked up the thick stack of evidence materials on the table and carefully read through each page, not missing a single line of text or picture.
After reading it, he gently put down the paper in his hand and sighed deeply.
"Based on the evidence we have so far, it clearly points to Xiao Qiang as the mastermind behind everything, and there is absolutely no trace of any connection between him and Wan Guangliang,"
"This means that if Wan Guangliang wanted to shirk responsibility, it would be incredibly easy for him to place all the blame on Xiao Qiang alone."
Upon hearing Yang Chengxu's words, Chen Ze felt an indescribable sense of resentment and disappointment.
It's worth noting that his subordinates spent over a month working tirelessly to gather this so-called evidence.
During this period, he tirelessly traveled around investigating, even risking his life to venture into dangerous territory to obtain crucial information, and finally managed to piece together this seemingly sufficient pile of evidence.
However, in the end, it was found that even so, it was still impossible to prove with certainty that the mastermind was the despicable Wan Guangliang.
Just then, a crisp and rhythmic knocking broke the heavy and oppressive atmosphere inside the room.
"Knock knock knock!"
The sound seemed particularly loud and abrupt in the quiet room.
Chen Ze frowned slightly and called out loudly towards the door, "Who is it?"
A slightly hoarse voice came from outside the door: "Boss, it's me, Lao Zeng."
