Wang Hao heard Hu Tong's conclusion that "this matter has nothing to do with Ye Ming", his eyebrows jumped, and an obvious dissatisfied expression appeared on his face. However, he couldn't resist interrupting Hutong's debriefing, wanting to hear the results of his investigation into the second question on the whistleblower letter.

Hu Tong continued: "Regarding Ye Ming's shielding and protecting the illegal fundraising of Jinqiao Group, we have also conducted an investigation and verification. As far as we know, some time ago, because of the shortage of funds, Jinqiao Group did raise funds to some customers who were interested in investing in Jinqiao Group, and all of them signed financing loan agreements. Moreover, the financing borrowings of Jinqiao Group are all made by specific objects. For example, the fundraisers who gathered to Jinqiao Group to collect debts a few days ago are all old customers who have had various kinds of cooperation with Jinqiao Group. Therefore, their investment in Jinqiao Group to earn interest is essentially an investment behavior, and does not fall into the category of illegal fundraising. Therefore, we believe that the capital exchange between Jinqiao Group and creditors should be a normal lending relationship. In the process of dealing with the gathering of creditors of Jinqiao Group, Ye Ming's characterization of Jinqiao Group's private financing was accurate, and there was no problem of covering up and protecting it, nor was there any problem of dereliction of duty. And—"

When Wang Hao heard this, he couldn't bear it any longer, and suddenly interrupted Hu Tong's speech rudely, and reprimanded with a red face: "Hu Tong, what kind of bullshit investigation conclusion are you?" Do you understand the definition of illegal fundraising? Without the approval of any competent authority, Jinqiao Group used high interest as bait to raise a large amount of funds from the public, the amount of which was as high as hundreds of millions, and even more than a billion yuan, resulting in the inability to repay the principal and interest on time, and almost caused a large-scale mass incident. What is the financing behavior of Jinqiao Group that is not illegal fundraising?

Ye Ming, as the deputy director of the Supervision Office of the Provincial Party Committee and the deputy head of the Provincial Party Committee's Leading Group for Cracking Down on Illegal Fundraising, turned a blind eye to the illegal fundraising of Jinqiao Group, not only did not investigate and crack down on it in accordance with the law, but did everything possible to justify and cover up the company, and violated relevant regulations by personally guaranteeing the repayment of Jinqiao Group's debts. If he has no major interests in connection with Jinqiao Group, why should he protect Jinqiao Company so much? Why do you want to guarantee Jinqiao Group? Your investigation team did not investigate the real purpose behind Ye Ming's abnormal behavior, nor did it verify Ye Ming's violations of discipline and law, but repeatedly excused him and the Jinqiao Group, which side are your butts sitting on? Huh? ”

Bai Jie saw that Wang Hao suddenly reprimanded Hu Tong with a fierce voice, so he pressed Wang Hao's shoulder, signaled him to be restless, and then said unhurriedly: "Secretary Wang, don't get excited. I don't think there's anything wrong with Comrade Hu Tong's investigation conclusion, and he doesn't sit crookedly! Before today's meeting, their investigation team gave me a brief briefing on the situation, and I think what they said is very reasonable.

"Moreover, Comrade Hu Tong and I both feel that the problems listed in the report letter about Ye Ming are all some analysis and speculation, and there is no real evidence! For example, the report letter said that Ye Ming helped Jinqiao Group open up many joints, so that Chen Yuanqiao could operate in the dark, and finally won the bid. However, what joint did Ye Ming open up? Which leaders have been found to intercede for Jinqiao Group? It doesn't say that it is stated in the report letter, right? Moreover, if Ye Ming really opened all the joints and persuaded all the leaders to let Jinqiao Group win the bid in that land bidding, then the relevant leaders later canceled the bidding results of Jinqiao Group, how can this be explained? This just proves that the relevant leaders did not help Jinqiao Group buy land, and Ye Ming did not go to Jinqiao Group to tell him, right?

"As for the issue of Jinqiao Group's suspected illegal fundraising, this matter is really a bit unclear and difficult to define. As far as I know, there is still no clear definition of what constitutes illegal fundraising in the judicial and financial circles. In particular, it is difficult for some large companies and enterprises that have lending relationships with the outside world to determine which ones are illegal fund-raising and which ones are normal financing. Therefore, in order to appease the emotions of those debt collectors and eliminate their anger, Ye Ming distinguished the Jinqiao Group at that time, which did not mean to protect and cover up.

"Moreover, on the issue of private financing of the Jinqiao Group, I also consulted experts from the Economic Investigation Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department, and they also said that the issue of the Jinqiao Group is complicated, and it is difficult to define whether their financing is illegal fundraising. In fact, if there is no problem with this kind of private financing, basically no one cares about it. However, once it causes major social problems and affects social stability, it is likely to be cracked down on and dealt with as illegal fundraising. Jinqiao Group has now paid off the principal and interest of most of its creditors' borrowings, and has eliminated the impact. Therefore, I think it is a bit inappropriate to designate Jinqiao Group as an illegal fundraiser now. ”

As soon as Bai Jie's words were finished, two other members of the Standing Committee immediately spoke, echoing Bai Jie and Hu Tong's views.

As soon as Wang Hao saw the current situation, he immediately understood: this Bai Jie and Hu Tong must have a very close relationship with Ye Ming. They may not have investigated Ye Ming at all in the past two days, but discussed with Ye Ming how to deal with themselves and how to deal with the report letter. Looking at the current situation, if he insists on investigating and punishing Ye Ming, he is likely to be unanimously opposed. Even, he may be connected by Bai Jie, Hu Tong and others to other Standing Committee members and middle-level cadres, isolate himself as a secretary, and make himself a bare-bones commander.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao only felt annoyed in his heart, and thought hatefully: Ye Ming, this little bastard, if Lao Tzu doesn't peel off your skin and don't send you to the eighteenth layer of hell, Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Wang!

However, annoyance is annoyance, Wang Hao did not refute Bai Jie and Hu Tong at this meeting, so as not to be bored, but arranged two cronies after the meeting, and asked them to go to the Provincial Party Committee Supervision Office immediately to bring Ye Ming to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he wanted to talk to Ye Ming in person. Moreover, he also told the two cronies who were on the task: After arriving at the inspection room, do not report to Qiu Wangxi, Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee, and directly bring Ye Ming to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Half an hour later, the two case-handling personnel of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection smoothly took Ye Ming to the interrogation room of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and asked Ye Ming to wait there, saying that a leader wanted to talk to him.

Wang Hao heard that Ye Ming had been brought, and just wanted to go to the interrogation room to examine Ye Ming personally, but the red confidential phone on his desk suddenly rang with a "beep bell".
