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

Chapter 660 The Collapse of the Faraway Financial Group

The interrogation of Gao Yun lasted a long time; after a whole day, Gao Yun still hadn't finished confessing.

Regarding the Yuanfang Financial Group's involvement in organized crime, Gao Yun actually supported Zhao Tianlai's side in carrying out these matters.

In some specific details, Gao Jun never personally participated in any of the activities. Since Yuanfang Financial Group completed its initial capital accumulation, Gao Yun consciously avoided involvement in any criminal or socially charged activities. However, Yuanfang Financial Group sometimes still used such extreme methods to achieve its goal of amassing wealth.

Zhao Tianlai can be considered the gunman of the entire Yuanfang Financial Group.

According to Gao Yun, the main reason why Yuanfang Financial Group was able to expand so rapidly in a short period of time was that it used illegal means to acquire many companies.

According to Gao Yun, all of Yuanfang Financial Group's acquisitions in recent years have been obtained through forced sales and illegal means.

In this process, some things happened and some didn't, but in most cases, it was Zhao Tianlai's side that took action.

They used all sorts of methods, including coercion, bribery, and kidnapping, to achieve their goal of acquiring related companies.

“During this process, Li Qiang was responsible for selecting relevant companies and negotiating with them. He handled the overt matters, but the actual behind-the-scenes operations were handled by Zhao Tianlai.”

"Of course, there are also some business owners who have strong backgrounds and a group of people under them. In these cases, we use other means through Mayor Liang to force them to submit. Of course, the dividends we give to Mayor Liang are also quite high. Sometimes it's tens of millions, sometimes it's several tens of millions, and the most we've ever given him is 1.2 million."

The acquisition that Gao Yun mentioned was three years ago when Yuanfang Financial Group acquired a mining plant.

The mine was valued at 4 million yuan at the time, but Gao Yun's Far East Financial Group acquired it for only 8,000 million yuan.

“We saved 3.2 million yuan in this case, and then we gave Mayor Liang 1.2 million yuan in cash directly. He let his brother-in-law hold shares in the mine and receive dividends. Over the years, the dividends have amounted to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan.”

The arrest of Gao Yun and Li Qiang was quite sudden. The two were arrested directly in the police station, so only a few well-informed people knew about their case.

Even within the Yuanfang Financial Group, few people knew that Gao Yun and Li Qiang had been arrested by the police and were currently being interrogated.

To be more precise, Yuanfang Financial Group has not received any news. Although Mayor Liang has received the news, he has been arrested and is now in a precarious situation.

The initial interrogation of Gao Yun was completed around 7 p.m. that evening, and Qin Chuan had obtained more clues.

On one hand, a search has begun on Gao Yun's villa, and the relevant evidence has been sent to the special task force for the crackdown on organized crime.

In addition, the villa where she lives is also going to be excavated.

Meanwhile, Zhang Laifu on Qin Chuan's side gathered his men and, according to the list provided by Gao Yun, began to purge the senior management of the entire financial group.

As Yuanfang Financial Group has grown and expanded over the years, many people at the grassroots level are unaware that Yuanfang Financial Group is involved in organized crime and gang-related activities. The normal employees are just ordinary white-collar workers.

Those who truly integrated into their core circle were the original veterans, so the number of people arrested this time was actually not large.

Apart from Zhao Tianlai's group, which had a dozen or twenty core members and thirty or forty peripheral henchmen, the number of people arrested by Yuanfang Financial Group was far less than that of Tiantang Entertainment Group and Aijia Supermarket.

Because the arrests were carried out suddenly at night, many people had no idea about them and were completely bewildered when they were arrested.

However, Qin Chuan's actions this time were swift and decisive, even faster and more ruthless than those of Aijia Supermarket and Paradise Entertainment Group.

That same evening, Qin Chuan took the relevant evidence to Yang Jinguo's office.

Mayor Liang is different from others; if he wants to implement measures and methods, provincial-level units must intervene.
