The Gong family was wealthy and powerful in the past, with a lot of real estate and wealth, and many factories and shops under their name, all of which were hard-earned by the ancestors of the Gong family.
The factories under the name of the Gong family persisted in production during the war, and withstood tremendous pressure to supply food, medicine, bedding, etc. to the front line of the War of Resistance. They were praised by leaders many times, and there were also records of praise in newspapers and documents.
The favor she requested wasn't difficult for Elder D, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll give the order right away. But the Gong family had quite a lot of assets back then, and you're a married woman, so do you know anything about your family's assets?"
"I understand. Before the Gong family incident, I had already divorced my husband and returned to my parents' home. My father intended for my eldest brother and I to jointly manage the family business, and he handed over all the assets to us."
Seeing that she understood, Mr. D promised: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to contact you."
"Most of the Gong family's factories have been nationalized. Over the past twenty years, they've undergone constant reform, restructuring, and mergers. They've changed a lot compared to when the Gong family was running them. I'll have them calculate some of the compensation and give it to you."
"As for the property and shop, I don't know much about it. I'll arrange for someone to check out the situation. You can make the decision later."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. D." Gong Wantang stood up and thanked him.
The leader was busy with official business, so after finishing the business, Gong Wantang took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye.
Before leaving, she gave Mr. D a few pieces of high-quality Gastrodia elata produced in the space. They were all prepared in advance. She lied that they were wild Gastrodia elata dug in the mountains in the countryside and not bought with money. She gave them to him to make tea or stew soup to nourish his brain and refresh his mind.
Old Han had something else to do, so he didn't leave with the mother and daughter. He asked the guards to send them back and invited them to his home for dinner when they had time.
At the same time, in the office building of the General Association of Revolutionaries, Zhou Lanqin led the team straight to Xue Haihui's office.
"Deputy Director Zhou, what are you doing?"
Xue Haihui had just arrived at the office after a meeting and had not had time to drink a sip of tea when the office door was broken down by the police.
Zhou Lanqin produced an arrest warrant, her expression serious. "Comrade Xue Haihui, the Municipal Public Security Bureau has received irrefutable evidence that you are involved in multiple crimes. This has been confirmed and approved by higher-ups. I am now here to arrest you. Please cooperate and refrain from unnecessary resistance."
"Deputy Director Zhou, are you mistaken?"
Arresting someone and cooperating with the investigation are two completely different concepts. Xue Haihui was panicked at this moment.
Zhou Lanqin slapped the arrest warrant on his desk and let him read it. There was a long list of charges on it, as many as ten, and below it were the signatures and seals of six leaders including Mr. D and Mr. Han.
"Bang!"
After reading it, Xue Haihui closed his eyes. All his energy seemed to be drained away in an instant, and he slumped in the chair in dejection and powerlessness.
Zhou Lanqin glanced at him calmly and ordered the police officer accompanying her: "Take him away."
Xue Haihui was handcuffed and shackled on the spot. When he was pulled out by the police, his head was hanging down. When he saw the leader who had rushed over after hearing the news, his eyes suddenly burst into hope and he shouted at him, "President, I am innocent."
"Deputy Director Zhou, Comrade Xue Haihui is crying out for innocence. Is there any misunderstanding?" the visitor asked.
Zhou Lanqin replied with a serious expression, "Chairman Zhang, I'm only carrying out orders from above. The arrest warrant has just been confirmed for Comrade Xue Haihui. If there are any misunderstandings, he can submit an appeal, and the leaders will certainly give him a chance to explain and clarify."
After giving the formulaic answer, he didn't waste any more time and ordered, "Let's go."
"President, President, save me, I am really wronged. Someone has been framing the Xue family behind the scenes recently. This must be the other party's work again." Xue Haihui shouted loudly.
Chairman Zhang narrowed his eyes and said in a serious tone, "Go over there and cooperate with the investigation first. The person who framed you will be investigated by the Reform Association."
After Xue Haihui was taken away, the entire Revolutionary Committee office building fell into deathly silence.
Chairman Zhang was in a heavy mood and immediately asked Xue Haihui's assistant about the charges on the arrest warrant. When he heard the ten charges and the leader who signed them, he staggered a few steps and then ran to notify others in a panic.
Xue Haihui's sudden arrest was like dropping an atomic bomb in the circle, and all the smart people keenly smelled the opportunity.
It was already noon when the news reached Yao Meiting. She was in the hospital accompanying someone and delivering meals. It was her sister Yao Meilan who hurried over to report the news.
She was completely in disbelief when she heard this: "Impossible, how could it be possible? Your brother-in-law can't be arrested. He's at work right now."
"Dad just called to confirm. It was Deputy Director Zhou of the Municipal Public Security Bureau who personally went to arrest her. She had an arrest warrant with ten charges, signed by six high-ranking officials, including Mr. D. Chairman Zhang couldn't stop her; she was handcuffed and shackled on the spot."
Yao Meilan understood her sister's feelings. She didn't want to believe it, but it was the fact. Her brother-in-law was really arrested, not taken away to cooperate with the investigation.
"No, no..."
Xue Haihui is the mainstay of the Xue family. Once something happens to him, not only Yao Meiting, but all the younger generations of the Xue family become panicked and scared.
"Sister, don't just stand there. Go find Chairman Zhang and the others quickly. Only they can save my brother-in-law. Hurry up and don't waste any more time."
Yao Meilan pushed her hard and pushed her out of the ward door, saying loudly: "I will take care of Weidong and the others. You go and do your business quickly. Also, go find your sister-in-law and ask the Peng family for help."
That afternoon, Yao Meiting ran around seeking help, visiting the homes of all the cadres from the same faction as Xue Haihui, and almost knelt down to ask for help.
Xue Haihui's arrest was unexpected, catching the revolutionary party completely off guard. All key leaders went to the Public Security Bureau to question them, but Zhou Lanqin dismissed them with an arrest warrant. The Public Security Bureau was solely responsible for arresting people; other organizations remained independent. Any complaints were directed to the six leaders who signed the warrant.
Of course, they also went to find Mr. D and others. Mr. D was also prepared. All the evidence on the desk was there for them to see for themselves.
These pieces of evidence were left behind by Xue Haihui and Cai Zhenghe. The purpose of leaving them behind was actually to leave themselves a backup plan, for fear of being thrown out as scapegoats one day.
But no matter how much they thought about it, they never expected that the things they left behind would eventually send them to their graves.
The leaders of the Revolutionary Committee were shouting when they came, but when they left, they all looked sad as if their parents had lost their parents. When they returned to the unit, they took it out on Yao Meiting and scolded her.
When Yao Meiting learned that the evidence of the man being crushed to death was left by him, was found by his enemies, and was sent to the leaders' desks, she thought that it was purely self-destructive and no one could save him. She closed her eyes and fainted on the spot.
