Lu Ping sniffled and slowly spoke, "The 50,000 yuan loss on the account book, I took out 10,000 yuan to pay off my father's debt. The remaining 40,000 yuan was taken away by Zhang Dong." He had no evidence, so he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, which only had around 100 words, but clearly wrote about how he was instructed by Zhang Dong, swapped the accounts, embezzled public funds, and where the six newest cars were hidden.
After Secretary Ding took over, Lu Ping continued, "The six new cars of the transportation team are parked in Zhang Dong's backyard. The original plan was to sell them to the transportation team in the neighboring county three days later at half price." He knew this so clearly because he was the one who contacted the buyer. Compared to Zhang Dong, an outsider, Lu Ping had only been with the transportation team for a year or two, but his connections and channels were not hidden from him by his predecessors, and all the information was clear to him.
Everyone present was relieved, including Zhou Wenhua, who had been looking unhappy all along and now looked a bit more pleasant. As for Gu Weiqiang, he was even happier! Being able to ask questions so easily and smoothly was truly beyond expectation.
An'an's heart leapt with joy, finally, she had managed to drag out that venomous snake Zhang Zhuang. She suddenly spoke up, "Lu Ping, are you certain it was Zhang Zhuang?"
Lu Ping nodded decisively with a sharp and resolute expression.
Xu Weibing's forehead was sweating profusely! From the time Secretary Ding asked him questions, that sweat never stopped.
Especially when mentioning Zhang Guang, he trembled all over, and when he couldn't avoid it, Anan turned back, seriously saying "Uncle Xu, I heard that Zhang Guang is your subordinate!"
Xu Weibing shook his head like a rattle drum, denying it. "Where did you hear this rumor? Zhang Dong is not my subordinate. I am a public official, how can I have a relationship with such a person?" As soon as he opened his mouth, he had already clarified the relationship. However, Xu Weibing was right about one thing: when he brought Zhang Dong to Taishan County, he found that the comfortable environment had inflated Zhang's arrogance and made his rebelliousness more apparent. So Xu Weibing had left a trick up his sleeve and removed Zhang from his subordinates, making him just an ordinary brother.
If you go and investigate Zhang Wu's identity, you will find that he has nothing to do with any officials.
An An nodded thoughtfully and put a high hat on Xu Weibing, "I knew it, Uncle Xu is the best parent official, how could he be related to this kind of person?" As soon as he said this, Xu Weibing's face lit up with joy, but was immediately turned around by An An's next words, "Since there is no relationship with Uncle Xu, Secretary Ding, do you think it's possible to bring Zhang Du over for questioning?"
Xu Weibing's body stiffened, and the words "it has nothing to do with me" were his own, now he can't take them back, or else he would be slapping himself in the face.
Secretary Ding treated An'an like a junior, smiling and saying, "You little girl, didn't you already make up with me earlier? This person should have been brought over by now!", Indeed, before An'an arrived, she had asked Teacher Ding to help pass on the message, asking Secretary Ding to send someone to take Zhang Wu out ahead of time.
An'an smiled and said, "That's it! But we still need to send someone to check if the car is in Zhang Dong's courtyard." Secretary Ding beckoned with his hand, and soon two young men appeared. "Go take a look at whether the transportation team's car is still there or not?"
Two young men had just left the house when they ran into a group of people sent by Secretary Ding, who were returning. The person was one of Secretary Ding's men, a burly man who looked quite old. To An'an, this person was simply an older version of Fan Qi, the fugitive she had met in Gujia Village before. However, this person was indeed named Zhang Shunzi, one of Secretary Ding's men. He happened to meet the people sent by Secretary Ding and glanced at everyone before Secretary Ding waved his hand, indicating that he could speak.
Zhang Shunzi finally spoke up, "Those six cars were indeed at Zhang Dong's house. When we arrived, they were making a deal with the neighboring county transportation team. We seized the cars, but...". He said this far and his face turned red with shame, "But Zhang Dong himself ran away!"
As soon as he said this, Secretary Ding immediately stood up from his chair, hastily, "Escaped?"
Zhang Shunzi felt that he had failed to live up to Shang Feng's trust, and the most important person in this was Zhang Duo. He took a group of people over, but unexpectedly still let Zhang Duo slip away under his nose.
This is a great shame and humiliation.
Secretary Ding shook his head, "It's all fate! Don't blame yourself." Otherwise, how could Zhang Wu have escaped from the heavenly net.
An'an was also somewhat resentful, if Zhang Zhuang escaped, then it would be equivalent to having been busy for nothing all this time. This time her most important goal was to get rid of the big fish Zhang Zhuang and make him unable to struggle again. But the big fish had escaped, and in the future he would once again transform into a poisonous snake, lurking in the dark, waiting to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
Compared to the disappointment of others, Xu Weibing let out a sigh of relief. Even though Zhang Dong was no longer under his command now, the two still had a friendship relationship after all. He was also an ordinary person who hoped that his friends could live a better life, even if they made mistakes, after all, there were differences between intimacy and distance.
An'an suppressed the disappointment in her eyes and kept looking at the door, hoping to bring her good news.
As expected, three minutes later, a path suddenly opened up in the crowd, and the already narrow corridor became even narrower. However, it was from this narrow corridor that a person emerged - Lu Yan!
His tall and straight figure was like a pine tree, but the bloody appearance scared everyone. His face was full of fatigue, but it couldn't hide the light in his eyes. He tightly grasped Zhang Dong's hands, dragging him inside like a dead dog. Along the way, people subconsciously made way for them.
It was true that Lu Yan's image at this time was really bad, and the bloody appearance scared everyone, also scaring An An.
She suddenly broke free from Jiang Jiang's small hands, pushed through the crowd and rushed out, and suddenly threw herself beside Lu Yan. Even she herself didn't notice that her voice was trembling when she spoke, "Yan Ge... are you okay?" If something happened to him, she would be uneasy for the rest of her life, even if it meant catching Zhang Dong, but at the cost of Lu Yan getting hurt, she'd rather let Zhang Dong get away.
Perhaps Anan herself didn't even realize that she had given up everything, and in front of Lu Yan's safety, she was willing to let her previous efforts go down the drain, as long as Lu Yan was fine.
