Chapter 401 Police Officers Are All One Family
I'll be back, you son of a bitch, do you think you're the Big Bad Wolf or the Terminator?
Damn it, they've come to me to be humiliated. I've already been very restrained; I still held back a bit of my strength when I attacked.
"Get lost, don't force me to use my fists again."
Fang Yonghui stared fiercely at Qi Tongwei, his eyes filled with an anger that was the humiliation he had never experienced before. But things had come to this point, and there was nothing he could do. Now it was Guangdong, and he was outnumbered and outmatched. He could only swallow his anger.
Let's go.
One subordinate clutched his chest, while the other grimaced in pain. That damned Qi Tongwei was truly ruthless; they shouldn't have come on this business trip at all. However, the grudge was only growing stronger. As for whether they would have a chance for revenge in the future, that would depend on how fast Qi Tongwei was promoted.
After Fang Yonghui slunk away, Lan Ying asked, "Chief Qi, should we have someone keep an eye on them?"
"No need, three idiots can't cause any trouble."
Qi Tongwei didn't mind, but suddenly a prank idea popped into his head: why not send them to the Zhangmutou shelter to experience the hardships of migrant workers?
Upon returning to the hotel, Fang Yonghui immediately called Meng Hongbing. "Director Meng, the Guangdong Provincial Department is completely uncooperative. That brat Qi Tongwei doesn't take us seriously at all, and he even resorted to violence."
Meng Hongbing slammed his hand on the table in anger, "You bastards, you're incredibly audacious! Are you all alright?"
Feeling a little better after receiving the leader's concern, Fang Yonghui said, "Director Meng, we're fine. It's just that that kid said he was going to send us to a shelter. I don't know if he's serious."
Meng Hongbing was furious. That brat Qi Tongwei was utterly lawless. "He dares? I'll coordinate with the Guangdong side right now. You can rest assured."
"Thank you, Director Meng."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yonghui's chest still ached slightly; this trip had truly been a humiliating experience.
Immediately, a subordinate began to grumble, "Team Leader Fang, the Guangdong police are clearly protecting that kid Qi Tongwei. There's no point in us waiting. We might as well go back sooner. His parents are still in Jingzhou. I don't believe he'll never go back."
"Yeah, Captain Fang, that kid's territory in eastern Guangdong now. He might actually find a reason to send us to the shelter."
We're all police officers, we know all the ins and outs inside. These days, you can find any excuse to send someone in for reformation.
Fang Yonghui was somewhat worried, but he couldn't swallow his anger. Besides, without orders from his superiors, he couldn't back down.
"Stop talking, take a rest when you have time. That kid isn't that bold."
Qi Tongwei was not lacking in courage; when his superior spoke, his two subordinates could only shut up.
In Ye Xingguo's office, Meng Hongbing called again; he had deliberately ignored the previous call.
"Director Meng, I'm sorry, I had a meeting just now."
Meng Hongbing knew that Ye Xingguo was deliberately trying to protect Qi Tongwei, after all, that kid was now his right-hand man, and he could only carry out Secretary Liang's orders.
"Director Ye, I'm sorry to bother you, but my men went to verify the situation with Comrade Qi Tongwei today. That kid is really outrageous. Not only did he refuse to cooperate, but he also beat up my men and even threatened to send them to the detention center."
Ye Xingguo shook his head. That kid really was capable of such a thing. "Director Meng, if the situation is true, I will definitely give that kid a severe reprimand."
"To be honest with you, eastern Guangdong, as the forefront of reform and opening up, is a melting pot of all sorts of people. Drug traffickers are rampant now, and the anti-drug squad is under a lot of pressure. That kid is being pressured by me every day, and I guess he just lost control of his emotions for a moment."
"But don't worry, as a police officer, I will never protect that kid."
After all that talk, Meng Hongbing didn't hear a single thing he wanted to hear; frankly, it was just bureaucratic jargon and deliberate stalling.
"Director Ye, in principle, that kid has made a great contribution and shouldn't be made things difficult for him. But you also understand that we advocate the rule of law now, and the police, as a law enforcement force, must strictly abide by the regulations and must never knowingly break the law."
"The suspect is now accusing that the boy of torture and coercion, and of threatening the child's life. We have no choice but to investigate, and we need the cooperation of the Guangdong police."
Cooperating with the investigation is impossible. Qi Tongwei is a very sharp knife, killing anyone who gets in his way. Ye Xingguo is not willing to give up yet.
"Director Meng, I understand you very well. As law enforcement officers, police officers directly face the people. Their every word and action is related to the image of the government, and even the image of the Party and the country. They can easily cause huge public opinion problems if they are not careful."
"But, Director Meng, the country is developing rapidly, and all sorts of situations are emerging one after another, putting a lot of pressure on the police officers on the front lines of law enforcement."
"Our comrades are human, not machines. When they think of the pain of the victims' families, it's easy for them to act impulsively and emotionally. I think we should give our comrades more understanding and help."
The words were roundabout, but Meng Hongbing finally understood: it all ended there.
"Director Ye, I also rose from an ordinary police officer to where I am today, and I know very well the uncontrollable rage you feel when you catch a murderer."
"Without rules, there can be no order. Now that the country is advocating the rule of law, I think we should strictly enforce it. Only in this way can we truly eliminate torture and forced confessions."
That being said, Ye Xingguo believed that if it weren't for someone interfering, the police in Handong wouldn't have kept pursuing Qi Tongwei so relentlessly, and would have even gone so far as to make an arrest across provinces, which was simply unbelievable.
"Director Meng, don't worry, I'll make sure that kid cooperates fully with the investigation. But there's one rule: that kid is currently the head of the anti-drug squad of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department, and he can't go back to Handong anytime soon."
This statement makes it clear that it is currently impossible for the Handong police to arrest Qi Tongwei from eastern Guangdong.
Meng Hongbing's expression changed, and he took a deep breath. He knew it wouldn't be that simple. Of course, as a police chief, he wouldn't risk falling out with another police chief for that kid Qi Tongwei.
"Director Ye, I understand. Thank you for your help."
Ye Xingguo immediately replied politely, "Director Meng, you're too kind. Police officers everywhere are one family and should help each other."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Hongbing quickly called Liang Qunfeng for instructions, "Secretary Liang, they won't release the people in eastern Guangdong anytime soon. Should I have my comrades wait there?"
At today's provincial party committee meeting, Provincial Party Secretary Xu Dingbang specifically mentioned Qi Tongwei, praising him highly for cracking down on Gao Jun's criminal gang. The implication is self-evident: even if many people in the Handong officialdom disapprove of Qi Tongwei's behavior, it is indeed inappropriate to forcibly punish someone who has made a great contribution.
Liang Qunfeng had no choice but to give up. "Hongbing, let's put this matter aside for now and let them all come back."
"Yes, Secretary Liang."
Meng Hongbing breathed a sigh of relief. If it were anyone else, they would have dealt with it, but Qi Tongwei had the provincial party secretary backing him up, so this matter was indeed thankless and difficult.
Upon receiving Meng Hongbing's order, Fang Yonghui, unwilling to accept defeat, took a train back to Handong overnight, determined to avenge this wrong.
Weiyuan Chemical Plant.
A truck loaded with ephedrine came out of the factory and sped away. Two armed police detectives followed quietly in a black sedan.
