Bloody Romance: I, the big troublemaker, Zhong Yuemin!

Chapter 566 When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!

Liu Jianguo has fallen.

Once inside, he didn't hold back at all. In an attempt to atone for his crime, he immediately bit off two "big fish."

One of them is Zhong Yuemin.

He spoke with absolute certainty, saying that Zhong Yuemin was his downstream supplier, that he had taken a lot of goods from him, and that he himself also smoked—he spoke with great conviction, as if he had witnessed it firsthand.

Indeed, what Liu Jianguo said was absolutely right.

During this period, in order to find out his background, Zhong Yuemin spent a lot of time "getting close" to him, drinking, singing, and calling him brother, acting as a genuine "undercover agent." Even when he did use drugs, he did it in front of him, but in the end, it was all just for show, entering his personal space.

If Zhang Haiyang hadn't known the inside story, based on Liu Jianguo's insistence, he really would have been invited to the police station for a chat.

The other one is Li Yuanchao.

As for whether this is a frame-up, it's hard to say, and the police have no way of verifying it—because Li Yuanchao has already fled.

Almost at the same time that Liu Jianguo was arrested, Li Yuanchao, along with his family of three and his secretary He Mei, boarded a flight to the United States, taking with him more than three million yuan of so-called "project investment funds."

Those friends, acquaintances, and business partners who had been lured into investing by Li Yuanchao lost everything overnight. The next morning, the entrance to Zhengrong Group was completely blocked; people were holding banners, chanting slogans, and even ramming the gate—it was chaos. If the police hadn't arrived in time to maintain order, the situation might have truly spiraled out of control.

This incident caused quite a stir in society.

Firstly, Li Yuanchao and his son have special status. Although Li Hailong has retired to the second line, he was a high-ranking leader at that level back then; Li Yuanchao himself was a senior executive of Zhengrong Group and enjoyed great prestige. It is truly astonishing that such a family would abscond with a huge sum of money.

Secondly, the money he absconded with was "investment funds," which, to put it bluntly, was swindled from those who trusted him. More than three million yuan—in this day and age, that's the life savings of so many people, gone just like that.

The severity of the impact is self-evident.

After a tremendous effort, Zhengrong Group finally managed to quell the chaos at the entrance. A series of measures—public relations, appeasement, and promises of investigation—temporarily dispersed the troublesome investors, and public opinion gradually calmed down.

But before they could catch their breath, an even bigger bomb exploded without warning.

It is unclear where the news came from, but it is said that the Li family father and son, who absconded with funds, have been using Zhengrong Group as a cover for years to resell scarce goods, falsely report import and export quotas, line their own pockets, and steal huge amounts of national resources and money.

Now the whole family has moved to the United States, living in a villa, driving luxury cars, and enjoying a carefree life.

The news caused an uproar.

According to Zhong Yuemin's father-in-law, the person in charge slammed his fist on the table, furious.

"The Zhengrong Group is corrupt to the core, rotten to the core. Investigate them thoroughly, get to the bottom of it!"

Once these words are spoken, who would dare to be negligent?

The investigation team arrived that same day and found that almost everyone at Zhengrong Group, from top to bottom, was implicated. This deep-seated problem didn't arise overnight, and the top management was almost entirely unscathed.

Those who commit crimes will be directly handed over to the public security organs; those whose problems are less serious will either be dismissed, transferred, or demoted.

Overnight, panic gripped the group. Those who had escaped being named remained silent, fearing they would be next.
