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

Chapter 785 You are my informant, setting a trap for Tang Haobing

win-win?

Tang Haorui was somewhat surprised after Qin Chuan finished speaking.

"You are now very clear about the situation of Sihai Group. The important industries related to Sihai Group are all in the hands of your brother Tang Haobing."

Tang Haorui was certainly aware of this.

Tang Zhentian's health was deteriorating, getting worse day by day. Tang Haorui's return from abroad was at Tang Zhentian's behest, but upon his return, he only took over the Sihai Group's hotel business. Although they made a considerable amount of money, it was still far less than their real estate and energy businesses.

In recent years, Sihai Group has invested most of its important assets in real estate and energy.

Although profit margins in the energy sector have been relatively low in recent years, they are stable and comprised entirely of heavy assets. While the returns on these assets may not be high, they generate a continuous stream of income. In the long run, the energy industry offers higher returns on assets than several other sectors.

Now, the entire energy sector of the Sihai Group is under Tang Zhentian's control, but Tang Zhentian doesn't manage it much and instead entrusts it to Tang Haobing.

In addition, the real estate company is also currently in Tang Haobing's hands.

"Director Qin, over the past two years, I have established my position in the Tang family within the Sihai Group's hotel industry. Some time ago, my father announced that I may become the Tang family's heir in the future."

The other person shrugged: "So, I don't quite understand what you mean by cooperation?"

What do you mean?

"You've been abroad for so many years, I don't believe you haven't investigated the Tang family's situation. You've been involved with the foreign mafia all these years, and you know very well why you would participate in such an organization. On the surface, Sihai Group is a respectable and legitimate company, but it has been involved in a lot of criminal and evil activities. And all of these things have been manipulated by your elder brother, Tang Haobing, all these years."

"As the head of the Public Security Bureau, isn't cracking down on organized crime my duty?"

Tang Haorui thought for a moment and said, "Director Qin, you are well aware of what I've been doing outside. Aren't you afraid that even after you replace Tang Haobing, I'll still be the same?"

"No, no, you're a smart person. There are two different principles for survival abroad and at home. I don't care what you do abroad, but if you want to live a peaceful life here, then do business peacefully."

This is true.

Tang Haorui, holding a doctorate, knew very well that if he continued as before after returning to China, he wouldn't live long. His involvement with the mafia abroad was, in reality, out of necessity. He was well aware of the Sihai Group's operations; if he were completely unaware of its shady practices, he wouldn't even know how he died after returning home.

Even so, Tang Haorui still stumbled on this matter after returning to China, never expecting that someone would set such a big trap for him.

The dirty tricks didn't work; the other side actually used the police to do their dirty work, handing themselves over to the police. My good brother really played his cards right.

"And you have no choice now. If you don't cooperate with me, I can end this case here. With the identification of Li Hailong and Li Haichuan, and the fingerprint of the 20 yuan you gave me, from an evidentiary standpoint, it's undeniable that you were the mastermind behind the massacre of Zhao Lingyu's family of four. As for your brother Tang Haobing, I have other ways to deal with him, it just will take a long time."

Tang Haorui calmly pondered.

In reality, he knew very well that Qin Chuan's visit meant Tang Haorui had no way out. If he didn't agree to Qin Chuan's cooperation proposal, he would face imprisonment.

"Okay! I agree to cooperate with you."

"But what do I need to do?"

"Internal strife!"

"Internal strife?"

Qin Chuan nodded.

"What I need you to do is what you've been doing all along: fight your brother Tang Haobing for control of the Sihai Group."

In fact, Qin Chuan's reason for making such a plan was very simple. The real force behind his attack on the Sihai Group was not a few individuals, but rather the entire network of connections the Sihai Group had in Nanchuan City.

If Qin Chuan rashly takes action against anyone within the Sihai Group, he will solidify the entire succession dispute within the group. Because when facing external pressure, the Sihai Group must first address the external threats before considering the internal succession selection.

However, if Tang Haorui sides with Qin Chuan, the situation will be different. Because from this perspective, Qin Chuan has already become one of the relationships within the Sihai Group.

When Tang Haorui and Tang Haobing start fighting amongst themselves, Qin Chuan can openly help Tang Haorui because he is related to Tang Haorui. Since he is related to Tang Haorui, he is also related to the Sihai Group. The Sihai Group certainly won't use other connections to suppress its direct successor, or rather, this is the situation everyone is happy to see.

“From now on, the entire Nanchuan City Public Security Bureau is your ally. After you return this time, you must immediately begin your confrontation with Tang Haobing. Since your father has already declared you as the heir, this is precisely why you were framed as a supporter behind this family annihilation tragedy.”

Tang Haorui's face was grim.

Qin Chuan is right.

His father had only mentioned it casually during a meal, but he was framed as the mastermind behind a family massacre.

To be honest, if Qin Chuan hadn't trusted him, Tang Haorui knew perfectly well what his fate would have been. He could use the connections of the Sihai Group to pressure the Public Security Bureau, but wouldn't Tang Haobing use his connections to pressure them in return? The final result would be impartial handling, and since the evidence in his case was already so conclusive, what more was there to say?

"On the one hand, after you go back, you need to break ties with Tang Haobing and bring your struggle for the heir into the open. In that case, some of your Tang family's social connections will choose to wait and see."

This is very important to Qin Chuan, because if internal strife breaks out in the Tang family, other stakeholders will definitely choose to stand by rather than take sides.

Because in these relationships, they value the Tang family, not Tang Haorui or Tang Haobing. No matter who comes to power, they will still have vested interests with them in the end, and they will still receive a lot of money.

“I will conduct an in-depth investigation into how Tang Haobing impersonated you and then instructed Li Haichuan to commit murder. As long as you link the other party to the criminal case, then you will win.”
