The thin man was calmer. He was not angry when he heard Li Xiaoning's words, but sneered and said, "Li Xiaoning, you have to understand that this is not a place for you to play tricks. Besides, are you really so innocent? I can give you a hint. You are in Xinpi County. When the deputy county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the assistant to the district chief in the Binhai Economic and Technological Development Zone, who gave you or your family something during the Chinese New Year? What have you done, work arrangements, appointment of cadres, and what and how much have they given away as a thank you?"

Li Xiaoning sneered and said: "I don't believe that you can't find out that I am also a major shareholder of Mengtang Technology. My net worth is billions of dollars. Can I be greedy for such a small gain? Besides, I like to be clean. Be a man, do things clearly, and will not take money that is not inferior to mine. Don’t try to induce a confession. If you have evidence, you will show it. If there is no evidence, don’t waste time here as soon as possible.”

"You mentioned your identity as the major shareholder of Mengtang Technology, and I was just about to ask you." The thin man said calmly, "Your Mengtang Technology has made huge profits in the construction of the Binhai Economic and Technological Development Zone International Tourism and Resort New Area. , did you acquiesce behind the scenes?"

Li Xiaoning was completely happy, and said with a smile: "You think highly of me too much. Mengtang Technology won the bid through formal bidding procedures for the construction of the International Tourism and Resort New District. The bid was from the Binhai Municipal Government, not the development zone government. I just It's a small assistant to the district mayor. The words in the district don't count, and he can still manipulate the city government? Besides, even if you think there is a problem with the bidding procedures, you should arrest the person in charge of the city government, arrest me What are you doing?"

"Of course we will go to other relevant personnel to ask questions. We are asking you now." The fat man interjected.

"Ask me?" Li Xiaoning raised his eyebrows and said, "I've already said it. It's a normal economic behavior, and there is no violation of any regulations."

Seeing that it was getting late, the two investigators of the Disciplinary Committee yawned and cursed to announce a break. Li Xiaoning lay down on the bed without saying a word, and took the time to rest.

The next morning, Li Xiaoning was woken up, and the sky outside was very bright.Li Xiaoning shook his head vigorously, trying to drive away the lingering fatigue, he just rinsed his mouth in the bathroom, before he could wash his face, he was thrown out by his big belly, the habit of a big belly is to have a bowel movement in the morning!

"It's best to kill you fat pig!" Li Xiaoning thought to himself.Breakfast is steamed buns and porridge, not even pickles.

Today a different person came to interrogate Li Xiaoning. This is a man who is nearly 50 years old. He wears black-rimmed glasses, his hair is combed meticulously, his beard is clean-shaven, and his body is spotless.Li Xiaoning heard that the two discipline inspection officials called this "Director Liu".

Director Liu sat on the sofa, called Li Xiaoning to sit on another sofa with a serious expression, took out his Chinese cigarettes and threw them to Li Xiaoning.

Li Xiaoning took a puff of cigarette contentedly, with a satisfied look on his face.

Director Liu silently smoked a cigarette until the end of the cigarette, and then said: "Li Xiaoning, you probably know the purpose of coming this time. I hope you can treat organizational decisions correctly and answer my questions honestly. It’s already the fifth day, I hope you will seize the opportunity given to you by the organization, and be frank and lenient! Let me ask you, have you ever sent valuables to the relevant leaders, and have you ever paid bribes!”

As soon as Li Xiaoning heard this, he immediately became alert. In the past few days, the two discipline inspection officials were asking him if he had taken bribes. When Director Liu came today, he turned 180 degrees and asked if he had taken bribes. What does this mean?

To be honest, facing this question, it was really difficult for Li Xiaoning to answer it realistically.In today's society, it is an unwritten rule that nothing can be done without gifts.He can keep himself clean, but he can't ask others to be spotless too.Over the years, he himself has indeed not received a penny, but he has sent out a lot.

Seeing that Li Xiaoning was hesitating, Director Liu struck while the iron was hot and said, "Li Xiaoning, stop taking chances and having illusions about certain people. It's better to face the reality and tell the organization truthfully. We will be dealt with leniently! We already have a lot of evidence, and there is a clear difference between what we say and what you say, so don’t be obsessed with it and see the situation clearly!"

Director Liu's words sparked a flash of inspiration in Li Xiaoning's mind. He was only thinking about his bribery just now, and he didn't understand the point of Director Liu's question.Director Liu's words just now were not actually asking Li Xiaoning's own question, he was asking Li Xiaoning to report others.Who to report?There is no doubt that the Guan family will be reported.Li Xiaoning did give the Guan family a gift, and it was true that the gift was not light, but it was purely out of friendship, not asking the Guan family to do something.In fact, over the years, although Mr. Guan has been cultivating Li Xiaoning as his grandson-in-law, Li Xiaoning himself has never thought of relying on the relationship of the Guan family for his own personal gain.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoning said lightly: "I'm sorry, I can't remember."

Director Liu forced himself to suppress his anger and said, "Li Xiaoning, I don't think you understand. This is an ultimatum. If you still don't explain it, don't blame us for resorting to extreme measures."

Li Xiaoning sneered and said: "I'm sorry, I really have nothing to explain. Whatever means you have, just use it."

"I don't know how to praise." Director Liu stood up suddenly angrily, walked out of the room quickly, and then said angrily to his subordinates who followed up, "Put him to death, no matter what, he must do it before nine o'clock tonight." Speak."

There is actually a reason why Director Liu is so anxious.Last night, people from Guoan directly came to the door to ask for someone, saying that Li Xiaoning was someone they were about to send to the United States to carry out a mission, and asked them to release him immediately.

Naturally, it was impossible for Director Liu to let him go. The two sides had a long discussion in the conference room.

First, Director Liu made a speech. He made an impassioned statement, listing the iron-clad facts of Li Xiaoning's use of power for personal gain, corrupt life, corrupt morality, and domineering style. "When Li Xiaoning was the mayor of Pingshan Town, Secretary of the Party Committee of Jinsha Town, deputy county magistrate and county magistrate of Xinpi County, and assistant to the district chief of Binhai Economic and Technological Development Zone, he always acted arbitrarily and monopolized power. Every project he handled required the contractor to Give him gifts, bribe him, accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time, and live a luxurious life. It is said that he once squandered 5000 million yuan in one night because of a woman who was jealous of others."

The national security representative asked calmly: "Do you have any evidence to prove that the money Li Xiaoning gambled with others was obtained through bribery?"

Director Liu said without changing his face: "I didn't say just now that he got the money from bribery. I just used this fact to illustrate the luxury of his life."

The national security representative sneered, "Did someone spend their own money in violation of regulations or against the law? Director Liu, what does your discipline inspection committee pay attention to in handling cases? Is it based on facts, or is it out of jealousy?"

Director Liu was anxious: "No matter how rich he is, he can't waste it so carelessly! There must be something wrong with it."

The representative of Guoan responded tit for tat: "You are not a local tyrant, how do you know what the local tyrant thinks? Moreover, according to what I heard, Li Xiaoning participated in a charity auction that night, and all the money he spent was used for charity. It's gone. Isn't that a waste of money?"

"Li Xiaoning's Mengtang Technology has undertaken a large number of projects in the Binhai Economic and Technological Development Zone International Tourism and Holiday New Area, there must be something tricky in it." Director Liu said anxiously.

"What about the evidence? Li Xiaoning is just a small assistant to the district chief. The International Tourism and Resort New District project is a key project in the entire Binhai City. Li Xiaoning has no decision-making power at all, and there are strict procedures for bidding for such a large project. Is it possible that a certain person can make decisions on a project worth tens of billions of dollars?" the representative of Guoan said without giving an inch.

Director Liu's face was flushed, and he said after a long time: "Of course we have the evidence, but the case is still in the investigation stage, so we can't show it to you."

The representative of Guoan turned cold and said: "Then I will explain to you clearly today. There is no evidence. People who want to detain Guoan have no way. If you have evidence, you can show it. If you don't have evidence, let me go, otherwise don't blame me. We're welcome."

"You..." Director Liu wanted to get angry, but finally held back, "Give us a few more days..."

"I've given you four days. If Li Xiaoning really has a problem, you should have resolved it long ago." The Guoan representative said with a cold snort, "Don't think we don't know, we're just trying to save face for you."

"Three days, if you give me another three days, I will definitely have evidence for you." Director Liu gritted his teeth and said.

The national security representative pondered for a while and said, "I'll give you another 24 hours. If you still can't produce evidence and refuse to release him before [-] o'clock tomorrow night, don't blame us for coming to rob him. Let's go!"

It is precisely because of the above story that Director Liu ordered Li Xiaoning to be sentenced regardless of discipline requirements.They are indeed members of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is indeed not afraid of national security, but the problem is that this case is not a case that follows formal procedures. Director Liu is not acting under the orders of the leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.In other words, Director Liu is acting on his own, using the resources of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to help some people.The people in Guoan also know this situation, so their attitude is so tough.

"Fortunately, there is still one more day. If you don't believe me, you can't pry his mouth open." Director Liu thought so, and walked out of the guest house.Behind him, Big Belly walked into Li Xiaoning's room with two sturdy staff members carrying various tools...
