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

Chapter 659 There's no such thing as loyalty, it's all about interests.

The details of some of the crimes committed by Yuanfang Financial Group have been personally relayed by Zhao Tianlai, and a relatively clear outline has emerged.

Since Yuanfang Financial Group accumulated its first initial capital, Gao Yun began to cultivate relationships with some officials, especially those in the financial system.

"I first met Mayor Liang eight years ago. At that time, Mayor Liang was not the mayor, nor was he even the deputy mayor. When we met, Mayor Liang was the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau."

According to Gao Yun, he and Mayor Liang met at a dinner party, and they gradually got in touch after that.

Afterwards, Mayor Liang was promoted from the position of Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau to Vice Mayor of Linzhou City in charge of the economy. This coincided with the expansion phase of Gao Yun's Yuanfang Financial Group.

"Although Mayor Liang is usually quite low-key, he doesn't like women or going out for meals and drinks, he has one flaw: he loves money."

“Mayor Liang likes cash, and large amounts of cash. Every time I finish a favor for him, he needs a lot of cash. He has a villa in Jiaohe city where he keeps all the cash he has received. He doesn’t really help others much. He mainly has connections with our Yuanfang Financial Group. Over the years, I have given him more than 10 billion yuan in cash.”

10 million?!

Qin Chuan was taken aback.

He never expected that the financial group would provide Mayor Liang with so many benefits.

"Do you have any evidence or records of each time you gave him money? Are there any videos or recordings of him personally receiving the money? Also, is this villa registered in his name, or is it registered in someone else's name?"

Gao Yun shook his head.

“Mayor Liang is usually very careful and rarely meets with us. Even when he makes a phone call, he uses anonymous phone cards and doesn’t let us contact him normally. Also, that villa is registered in my name, not Mayor Liang’s, but he has all the keys.”

Gao Yun continued, "However, the money for his son's university education abroad, the money for studying abroad, and some daily expenses were all arranged by my subordinates. There are some transfer records for this."

"Of course it wasn't directly transferred to his son. Our group specially arranged a team of about five or six people to take care of his son's daily life abroad and cover certain expenses."

"Also, I did record some audio when Mayor Liang was with us, but there are very few videos, only two."

Are these two videos direct evidence of him accepting bribes, or are there other videos?

"Without these two videos, there is no evidence that he directly accepted bribes. Mayor Liang is a very cautious person. Even when he does things for us, he never takes money before or after doing them. I always deliver the money to the villa myself. As for how much I give, I just leave the things at the door each time so he can see them."

Qin Chuan frowned.

"So you're saying you don't actually have all the evidence of Mayor Liang accepting bribes, and that villa isn't even registered in Mayor Liang's name?"

Gao Yun nodded.

"But that doesn't mean I don't have evidence of him accepting bribes. In fact, I installed surveillance cameras in that villa. Every time he went into the villa to collect the money, it was recorded by our surveillance cameras. Over the years, the 1 billion yuan in cash he received from us is all in that villa!"

Ok?

"You installed surveillance cameras inside the villa you gave him?"

Gao Yun nodded affirmatively: "I also left myself a way out. If he had taken the villa and put it in his name, we wouldn't have gone so far. But since the villa wasn't in his name, we wouldn't be able to explain ourselves later. So I was careful and installed a hidden camera on the wall directly opposite the entrance during the renovation. It was a pinhole camera that was impossible to detect."

Where is the video recording?

“There is a USB drive in my safe. It contains all the surveillance footage that Mayor Liang recorded every time he went to collect money.”
