The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 373 The downfall happened in just one night.

Song Changfeng's phone fell to the ground.

He didn't quite understand how things had come to this.

In recent years, in order to get rid of the underworld and to clear his name of his past, he has tried his best to prove himself, and the Fengfan Group has not been involved in similar matters for years.

He now holds a position he never dared to dream of twenty years ago.

But why does it all seem to have suddenly disappeared?

How to do?

What should I do?

Criminal Investigation Brigade of Gaoxin District Branch.

Li Baokun is confessing his crimes in the interrogation room.

“I am just a dog under Song Changfeng’s command. He controls me and through me, he controls the entire underground forces in Xing’an City.”

Knowing he had no way out, Li Baokun began to confess everything.

“There is a Grade A office building under the Fengfan Group, which is actually an underground bank. Over the years, Song Changfeng has been running an underground casino. Although he does not participate in the management, we are the ones who operate it, but in reality, all the profits go to him.”

"Fengfan Group also has two subsidiaries. These two subsidiaries do not actually undertake any business, but the expenses for bribing and entertaining officials that Fengfan Group maintains contact with are paid from these two companies."

“There’s a ledger under the name of the legal representative of one of the branch companies, Song Gaozhi. He has detailed records of all the bribes Fengfan Group has given to officials over the years.”

"There is also a woman named Jasmine. Although she has no affiliation with the Fengfan Group, she controls a club that provides sexual services to relevant individuals."

"She should also have evidence of Song Changfeng's crimes."

"Also, there's another thing: five years ago, two people from the Construction Bureau went missing."

Construction Bureau?

Qin Chuan knew about this.

At the time, the disappearance case was handled by the High-tech Zone Branch Bureau. The case became a cold case, and there were no clues for several years. Qin Chuan only found out about the case when he went through the old case files.

"You mean Zhang Siyan and Tan Zhong?"

Li Baokun nodded: "It was these two people. At that time, these two people were in charge of some management work on the expressway from Xing'an City to our provincial capital."

"Five years ago, when Fengfan Group was building this highway, they cut corners and the work was discovered by these two men. They tried to expose the matter, but were retaliated against. They were killed and buried under the highway."

"After the person was killed, I sent people to bury him. He should be buried about 12 kilometers north of the highway from Xing'an City to the provincial capital. You will definitely be able to find him if you go dig."

"Also, last year there was a company called Baode that was bidding against Fengfan Group. They were killed and burned by people arranged by Song Changfeng. I also arranged for that to be done, but it was all Song Changfeng who was behind it."

"There was also the bombing in the northern suburbs three years ago. It was Song Changfeng who asked me to work for a company that was in competition with a subsidiary of the Fengfan Group. He asked me to find someone to blow up that company's warehouse. In the end, because they didn't have any stock, they lost the bid."

Li Baokun confessed everything thoroughly. Over the years, he had helped Song Changfeng do many shady things. Although Song Changfeng hadn't left any audio or video recordings as evidence, Li Baokun claimed that Song Changfeng had instructed him to do all of these things.

In addition, some things that the principal of the international school told us also exposed that Song Changfeng had used the international school to bribe relevant people in another way.

Overnight, this richest man in Xing'an City, who was once the city's biggest philanthropist, became an utterly wicked scoundrel.

According to Li Baokun's confession, Song Changfeng was involved in more than a dozen crimes, including intentional homicide, intentional homicide, imprisonment and injury, arson and bombing, illegal business operations, forced buying and selling, running underground casinos and bribery, and so on.

While Li Baokun was giving his confession, Qin Chuan had already arranged for Zhang Jun to lead a group to monitor Song Changfeng's residence.

The next morning, Qin Chuan, along with Li Baokun, Chen Tai, and some public notice materials from the international school principal, went directly to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

After receiving these materials, Zhao Donglai said "good" several times!

This week, not only are there rumors of personnel changes in the city, but the Municipal Public Security Bureau will also have some corresponding personnel adjustments.

Zhao Donglai was well aware of the city's true intentions regarding the current situation.

Huang Zhen's intentions were very clear: as long as the matter was not too serious, did not involve criminal offenses, and the circumstances of the crime were relatively minor, they should be let off the hook.

What he needs is for Xing'an City to maintain overall stability; some things should not be rushed.

Since Huang Zhen had leverage over Chen Guobiao, he naturally had no objections.

Chen Guobiao was well aware that the reason he hadn't been locked up by the Discipline Inspection Commission was because Huang Zhen didn't want to replace him with another mayor.

Therefore, Chen Guobiao will naturally cooperate fully with the current situation.

As for whether Song Changfeng will be exposed after he is arrested, it doesn't really matter.

Qin Chuan is Huang Zhen's man, and he's the one handling Song Changfeng's case. So, what happens, who gets to what extent, is all up to Qin Chuan, the person in charge.

As long as Chen Guobiao obeyed, he knew he was in no serious trouble.

After all, Chen Guobiao only committed some offenses such as harboring and condoning, but did not commit any substantial crime.

What he sought was further advancement, not monetary bribes.
