199: Chapter 199 Premature Arrest

Such a situation, of course, could not escape the eyes of Director Zhu Huabing.

Around 3:00 PM in the afternoon, he noticed something was wrong and immediately reported it to Qin Chuan.

"Secretary Qin, there is an important situation."

Compared to the anxiety of Director Zhu Huabing, Qin Chuan appeared very calm, because he had known about it in advance.

Early this morning, the system had refreshed three pieces of information.

1. This morning, Long Qinian found Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu for help, bribed him with five million, and promised another five million after the matter was accomplished, hoping Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu would help facilitate the transfer of his more than ten billion in funds out of the country.

2. After receiving the money, Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu used his status and influence as the Deputy Party Secretary of the County Party Committee to notify relevant bank leaders, and in about two days, this more than ten billion would be transferred to a certain account at Citibank.

3. Jin Rifei was acting like he had been injected with adrenaline, having brought in another sum of funds, and the whole person felt like he was on top of the world.

The third piece of information was not very valuable, but the first two revealed quite a bit of information. Initially, Qin Chuan was even shocked; he hadn't expected Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu to be so bold as to accept a five-million bribe and dare to let over ten billion be transferred overseas.

Because he knew this information, Qin Chuan had taken measures early on. This money would definitely not be able to leave. At this moment, it should be frozen soon.

Seeing that this money was about to be transferred out, Director Zhu Huabing was very anxious.

After reporting, he said urgently, "Secretary, you might need to step in, otherwise, this money will be transferred out right before our eyes."

Qin Chuan was much calmer. "Director Zhu, you all did well to notice this situation so quickly. I have already spoken to the bank; by now, the account should already be frozen."

Really!

If that was the case, then he could rest easy.

Director Zhu Huabing was full of surprise. "Secretary, so you had already taken measures. That's great. I was most worried that this money would be transferred overseas right before our eyes."

Qin Chuan said, "This money definitely won't be able to leave. I am worried that Long Qinian will soon discover the account is frozen and then try to run away ahead of time. Once he shows signs of fleeing, arrest him immediately."

"Okay, we definitely won't let him run."

After reporting and knowing that everything had been arranged by Secretary Qin, Director Zhu Huabing left, focusing on monitoring Long Qinian's movements.

A short while later, the bank leader called personally; the account and funds had all been frozen, including Long Qinian's personal credit card.

Long Qinian did not yet know that all his accounts had been frozen.

It wasn't until the evening, after he treated guests to a meal and everyone was happy, that he took out his credit card and asked his assistant to pay the bill.

Soon, the assistant returned.

"Manager Long, this credit card can't be used."

"How is that possible? There is money on this card." Long Qinian had drunk a bit of alcohol and was slightly tipsy; he hadn't thought that all his bank accounts had been frozen.

He took a bank card out of his wallet. "Go use this card. You know the password."

Soon, the assistant returned again. "It still can't be used."

"Impossible. There are several million in this card. How much is this meal? It's not even ten thousand; it can definitely be used."

"Manager Long, it really can't be used. I tried several times."

"Then use your card. Remember to get an invoice; the company will reimburse you later."

Because he had drunk some alcohol, he didn't think deeply about these things. After returning, he fell straight asleep and slept until past eight in the morning.

He was awakened by the ringing of his phone.

Seeing that it was a call from Master Wang Sen, he answered immediately. "Master, is there something wrong?"

Master Wang Sen said, "I saw something I want to buy, but I'm short on money. Transfer two million over."

A mere two million was nothing in Long Qinian's eyes, and he agreed immediately. "I will transfer it to you right away. It will arrive in half an hour at most."

He walked into the study, turned on the computer, operated online, and prepared to make the online transfer. Soon, he discovered an abnormality with the account.

What? It's frozen!

His heart skipped a beat, and he felt a sense of foreboding. He hurriedly switched to another account, but it was the same. Soon, cold sweat broke out.

His first reaction was that he had been exposed. Relevant departments had discovered his illegal fundraising and frozen his accounts. They might come to arrest him soon.

He hurriedly checked that fundraising account and was terrified to find that these more than ten billion were also frozen. Long Qinian knew he was completely exposed and had to leave immediately.

He had to leave before the police acted to arrest him. Yes, go to Hong Kong first to meet up with his master, then leave the country from Hong Kong.

It was just that the money was gone. Even if he succeeded in going abroad, he would have to tighten his belt to get by. No, his master had money abroad; as long as he followed his master, he would still be able to live the high life.

Not daring to hesitate, he packed simply. Long Qinian grabbed a suitcase and went out. His car had just driven out of the villa garage when it was blocked.

Long Qinian was panicking inside, but on the surface, he pretended to be calm. He lowered the car window, stuck half his head out, and asked, "Captain Liu, what's the matter?"

The leader was the captain of the Economic Crime Investigation Detachment. He said with majesty, "Long Qinian, you are suspected of illegal fundraising involving a huge amount. You are under arrest."

Long Qinian knew it was over, but he still argued, "Captain Liu, those were all normal commercial activities. Crowdfunding funds were also something everyone was willing to do. We all signed formal agreements..."

Captain Liu didn't give him any chance to argue and waved his hand. "Handcuff him!"

Not take him away, but handcuff him.

With a "click," a pair of cold handcuffs was placed on Long Qinian's wrists.

Long Qinian was arrested, but it was not announced to the public yet, so many people did not know. For example, Jin Rifei did not know.

These past few days, he had continuously swindled quite a few people into investing voluntarily. The largest amount was over ten million, and the smallest was over one million.

He thought happily to himself, this is the way to make money quickly; it's much faster than doing construction waste projects or transportation.

As for whether he would return the principal to the investors later, he didn't have the slightest thought about it. I earned this money with my own skills in swindling; why should I return it?

He poured a glass of imported red wine, put his legs on the desk, and while drinking, thought about some good things.

For example, he thought of Xiao Chuyi again.

Because he was wary of Qin Chuan, he hadn't gone to find Xiao Chuyi for at least half a month. Now his courage was gradually growing. He speculated that Qin Chuan had a girlfriend and would definitely not take a fancy to Xiao Chuyi, so he still had a chance.

As for Qin Chuan, he had also thought about whether he should send a sum of money to wipe the slate clean with what happened before.

Now he had money; in any case, it was all swindled, so he wouldn't feel bad even if he sent one or two million.

Well, that's what he would do. In this world, what official isn't corrupt? Faced with one million, I don't believe Qin Chuan will still hold on to past events.

He was dressed neatly, his hair combed until it was shiny, but he was too short, fat, and had acne on his face, so no matter how he dressed, he looked ugly.

Just as he walked out of the gate of Jinguan Group, he was surprised to find that several police cars had arrived, and then a large number of police officers got out of them.
