A few days later, Bao Desheng received the news that Zhong Lan was released, but Liu Zhongtang was arrested.
Pei Donglai hurriedly found Zeng Yanan, "Captain Zeng, why was Zhong Lan released?"
"President Pei, according to colleagues in the economic investigation, he was released because there was insufficient evidence."
"Can I meet the comrade in charge of this case?"
"Well, let me think of a way."
After Zeng Yanan made the call, a while later, the comrade in charge of the economic investigation came to Zeng Yanan's office.
"Officer Yang, this is President Pei of Jiangdong Bank. Please tell him about the case."
After police officer Yang glanced at Zeng Yanan, he said: "President Pei, after investigation, there is no evidence to prove that Zhong Lan illegally lends money. First, there is no signature of her on the documents; second, there is no evidence that she and the borrower have any interest transfer; third, there is no evidence that she and the borrower have any interests. The amount of the loan is not within her authority, so it can be said that these loans have nothing to do with her, and we have no control over how you determine responsibility internally."
"Oh, thank you, Officer Yang."
"Officer Yang, it is said that you have brought Director Liu from Jiangdong Bank here. Please tell us about the situation." Zeng Yanan arranged it well.
"It's like this. Through our investigation, we found that these loans are related to Director Liu. First, he is the final approver within his approval authority; second, he himself admitted that it was his own wish and there was no instigation from others. Case".
Hearing what Officer Yang said, Pei Donglai couldn't figure out how the usually cautious Liu Zhongtang could be confused at the critical moment. This is very uncharacteristic of him.
After thanking Zeng Yanan and Officer Yang, Pei Donglai left the branch.
Back at the unit, Pei Donglai called Wu Jing and asked, "Is there anything unusual about Liu Zhongtang recently?"
"It's nothing at work. It's just that some time ago, I heard from a colleague that his daughter was sick and hospitalized. I was going to report to you and take the time to go see her together."
"Go, go now."
"Okay, let me ask which hospital it is in?"
After Wu Jing hung up the phone, she said, "President Pei, Director Liu's daughter is not in Jiangcheng, but in Shanghai."
"No matter where we are, we will go."
It was already afternoon when they arrived in Shanghai. They came to the ward and saw Liu Zhongtang's daughter lying on the bed. She was in poor mental condition, with dull eyes and thin hair.
Liu Zhongtang's wife was watching beside him, looking very haggard.
"Sister-in-law, is Xiaoyu feeling better?" Wu Jing asked.
"President Pei, President Wu, why are you here? Please sit down quickly." Su Qing stood up and handed a plastic stool to Pei Donglai and Wu Jing.
"Sister-in-law, how is Xiaoyu?" Pei Donglai asked.
Su Qing shook her head and sighed: "Oh, we are already in the middle stage. We are currently undergoing chemotherapy. We haven't found a suitable bone marrow yet. Now something happened to Lao Liu. What should we do?" Su Qing became more and more excited as she spoke and burst into tears. Like rain.
Liu Zhongtang's daughter, Liu Xiaoyu, is 20 years old this year. She is both good in character and academics. She was diagnosed with leukemia just after entering university. This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the entire family.
Later, Pei Donglai and Wu Jing found the attending doctor and asked about Liu Xiaoyu's condition. The doctor said: "Liu Xiaoyu's condition is relatively stable and within control. He is currently maintaining chemotherapy, but if he wants to be cured, he must find a cure." The time for transplanting suitable bone marrow cannot be delayed too long."
"What about the cost?"
"It's around 100,000 yuan a month. Bone marrow transplantation depends on the situation, and the procedure fee is at least 400,000 yuan."
Walking out of the doctor's office, Pei Donglai said: "This is a lot of money. Wu Jing, go back and draw up a donation proposal and call on everyone to donate to them."
"I had this idea before, but after Director Liu was arrested, everyone's impression of him was greatly reduced. In addition, Zhong Lan asked people from the West Branch to spread rumors that Director Liu was arrested because of corruption. Everyone's impression of him was greatly reduced. His impression is even worse, and I’m afraid not many people will donate.”
"You draft it first, and I'll tell you when the workers' meeting is held."
The two returned to the ward, and Pei Dong came and said, "Sister-in-law, give me your card number. Lao Liu and I have been colleagues and friends for many years, and I should do my best."
"President Pei, I'm very grateful that you can come to visit Xiaoyu. How can I ask for money?"
"Sister-in-law, please stop being brave. We have also asked the doctor. Xiaoyu's illness is very expensive and we cannot delay Xiaoyu's treatment."
Indeed, since Liu Xiaoyu got leukemia, all her family's savings have been emptied, and she has borrowed money from relatives and friends. It is about to reach the bottom, and she doesn't know where to raise money next.
Since marrying Liu Zhongtang, Su Qing has quit her job and stays at home to look after her husband and children, with little income. After Liu Zhongtang was arrested, the family was even worse.
After Wu Jing's persuasion, Su Qing took out her bank card. Pei Donglai transferred 100,000 yuan, and Wu Jing also transferred the same amount.
After Su Qing read the message, she bowed deeply to Pei Donglai and Wu Jing and said, "Thank you, President Pei and President Wu. I will treat this money as a loan, and I will definitely return it to you in the future."
"Sister-in-law, let's talk about it later. If the hospital finds a suitable bone marrow, you can notify me as soon as possible. No matter how much it costs, I will find a way to avoid delaying the child's illness," Pei Donglai said.
Su Qing nodded with tears in her eyes.
On the way back, Pei Donglai said: "Liu Zhongtang was really confused for a moment, and he was bribed by Zhong Lan."
"President Pei, do you mean that Liu Zhongtang took the initiative to take on those responsibilities in order to treat his daughter?"
"It's not obvious, Old Liu. If you don't discuss anything with us, you have to fall into Zhong Lan's trap and stay there for a few years. The key is that even after a few years, the problem can't be solved, and my daughter's illness is not cured either. Ah, it’s not worth it.”
"Sigh, maybe Director Liu was in a hurry and fell into Zhong Lan's scheme. The culprit was Zhong Lan."
"We can't let Old Liu be wronged. Even if he admits it himself, he is at most an accomplice, not the mastermind. When you go back, make a list of those clients and give it to Yu Lingling for investigation."
"Okay, President Pei, I'll go with Yu Lingling."
Back in Jiangcheng, Wu Jing started to deal with the matter.
At the workers' meeting, after Pei Donglai explained everything about Liu Zhongtang to everyone, everyone generously donated money to Liu Xiaoyu. In one round, the total amount was more than 100,000 yuan.
In addition to mobilizing at work, Pei Donglai also told his friends about Liu Xiaoyu. Li Yunfeng said: "The Past in the Small Town is ready to open. We have used the sales of the first three days to treat Liu Xiaoyu. Do you have any opinions?"
Everyone nodded unanimously.
In this way, a total of 500,000 yuan was collected. When Pei Donglai handed the money to Su Qing, Su Qing knelt down in front of Pei Donglai.
"Sister-in-law, get up first and I'll talk to you."
"President Pei, if you tell me, I will definitely do it."
"According to our investigation, Lao Liu was framed. You should find a way to tell him these things and ask him to tell the truth and not to be deceived by others."
"Really? Why is he so stupid? I'll write her a letter and try to get the lawyer to bring it to him."
