202: Chapter 202 This is all thanks to Secretary Qin!

Having served as the Director of the County Bureau for so many years and having been suppressed by the former Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Secretary Yuan Hui, Director Zhu Huabing had dreamed of overthrowing Secretary Yuan Hui and sitting on the throne of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

If all went according to plan, his dream would soon come true.

Sure enough, Qin Chuan said with a serious expression, "Your matter is basically settled; we are just waiting for the Standing Committee to pass it."

Upon hearing this, Director Zhu Huabing could no longer contain his excitement, "Thank you, thank you, Secretary Qin. From now on, I am your soldier. If you tell me to go west, I will absolutely not go east."

"Work hard; I believe in you," Qin Chuan encouraged.

Not even a few minutes after Director Zhu Huabing left, Director Hu Bing, the Director of the County Committee Office, knocked on the door, looking a bit anxious, "Secretary, something has happened. Outside the gates of the County Party Committee and County Government, more and more people are gathering. They are all those investors."

Qin Chuan's expression did not change much; all of this was within his expectations.

It would be more unusual if they weren't gathering outside the County Party Committee and County Government compound.

"Let's go, let's go take a look."

Having said that, he stood up and strode out, with Director Hu Bing hurrying to follow.

Outside the gates of the County Party Committee and County Government compound, at least a hundred people had already gathered. Judging by the situation, more people would likely gather. Fortunately, security guards were maintaining order, and nearby police were also on their way.

The order was acceptable, but it was noisy.

"We want to see the County Magistrate, we want to see the County Party Secretary!"

"My entire life savings have been invested. Now, even living has become a problem. The county cannot ignore this!"

"..."

Qin Chuan had good hearing. Despite the noise, he basically understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and what some people were saying reached his ears clearly.

"Everyone, be quiet, please calm down first."

Facing one or two hundred people, Qin Chuan's voice was very loud; he estimated that most of them heard him.

Someone shouted, "We want to see the County Party Secretary! Make the County Party Secretary come out!"

It was obvious that this person did not know who the County Party Secretary was; they probably thought the young man in front of them was an ordinary young clerk in the county.

Qin Chuan said, "I am the County Party Secretary!"

"Impossible! Don't try to fool me. Where would you find such a young County Party Secretary!"

Someone nearby reminded him, "This really is our County Party Secretary, genuine and authentic!"

The man went silent. He was likely shocked to the core and couldn't react for a long time. Is this really our County Party Secretary? Is he really this young!

Qin Chuan did not pay any more attention to the bewildered middle-aged man and said in a very loud voice, "Everyone, please calm down first and listen to me!"

The entire scene was still quite noisy. With so many people, it was likely difficult to get them to quiet down.

Qin Chuan said again, "I'll see who hasn't quieted down yet. Remember their name for me; the money they invested will be cut in half."

What!

By the sound of it, the invested money could be refunded.

No way, did I hear that right!

More and more people quieted down, looking at Qin Chuan with hope in their hearts, wishing this were true.

But there were still many people who hadn't quieted down, continuing to shout something there. Qin Chuan pointed at an agitated elderly man and said loudly.

"Sir, what is your name? How much money did you invest?"

Is it me!

Seeing Qin Chuan pointing at him, and many people looking at him, the old man finally quieted down, then looked a bit bewildered.

Qin Chuan confirmed, "Yes, sir, I am talking about you. You were the loudest just now and seemed the most agitated. I asked everyone to quiet down, and you turned a deaf ear. I am very curious, how much money did you invest?"

The old man finally snapped back to reality, his eyes nearly tearing up, "Secretary Qin, I was foolish. I regret it so much now. My life savings of 800,000 yuan have all been invested; I didn't keep a single cent. What will I do in the future? I can't go on living."

Qin Chuan said, "Invested a total of 800,000 yuan. Sir, you really have some substance. Since you were the loudest just now, half of your money can be refunded. Does that work for you?"

The old man was incredibly surprised, "Secretary Qin, are you saying that the money we invested can be refunded!"

Following this question, everyone became completely quiet, with one or two hundred pairs of eyes looking at Qin Chuan.

Director Hu Bing brought over a chair and a megaphone.

Qin Chuan stood on the chair, held the megaphone, and said in a clear, loud voice, "Jinguan Group is a case of illegal fundraising, with a total amount of over 10 billion yuan. Long Qinian was preparing to transfer all this money abroad, and he himself was also planning to run away."

"Fortunately, we received the news in advance. After careful deployment, we captured Long Qinian himself ahead of time. Those 10 billion yuan in funds have also been temporarily frozen, and all the middle and high-level personnel of Jinguan Group involved in the illegal fundraising have also been arrested."

"According to preliminary investigations, a portion of the money you invested has already been squandered by Long Qinian and his associates, and they also paid you one or two months of interest. It is impossible to refund the full amount, but I can promise that 90% can be refunded. Consider it a lesson for everyone."

Invest a million, and 900,000 can be refunded!

This is a huge surprise!

Originally, they thought it had all gone down the drain, but to their great surprise, they discovered that 90% could actually be refunded!

Someone shouted, "Long live Secretary Qin!"

Enthusiastic applause erupted at the scene. They were so happy, so excited; it felt like a dream.

Li Mingde had first invested his family savings of 1.34 million, then borrowed money and took out loans to scrape together another 2 million, investing a total of 3.34 million.

His wife was arguing for a divorce, and he himself thought all this money had definitely gone down the drain. To think that 90% could be refunded!

A grown man, he was crying his eyes out at this moment.

"Secretary Qin, thank you, thank you!"

The news also spread quickly throughout Wanshun County, and the many people who had invested money had only one thought in their hearts: This time, it was all thanks to Secretary Qin!

The investigation into this illegal fundraising case progressed rapidly, and the work of refunding the funds also began, with a 90% refund rate.

No one felt it was inappropriate; everyone was moved to tears of gratitude.

Qin Chuan didn't need to worry about the refunds; the accounts were there, and the refunds could be made according to the list and amounts on them.

The matter of the illegal fundraising had temporarily come to an end. What Qin Chuan needed to consider now was the matter of selecting a secretary, and in addition, how to capture Master Wang Sen from Hong Kong.

Master Wang Sen was quite bold. After arriving in Hong Kong, he actually didn't rush to flee abroad but instead made high-profile appearances. These days, one could see news and reports about him.

The investigation into Master Wang Sen was also progressing well; Director Zhu Huabing and his team had obtained a large amount of evidence of Master Wang Sen's crimes, enough to sentence him to death several times over.
