Chapter 355 The Big Boss Comes to the Rescue
Qi Tongwei's words were forceful and instantly silenced the atmosphere. To confront a mayor head-on—that took immense courage, or perhaps a death wish.
Chen Wenjie had witnessed firsthand how formidable Qi Tongwei was, this living devil; damn it, he was a reckless scoundrel who didn't care about his own life.
Do you even know who you're talking to?
Having said all that, Qi Tongwei had no choice but to remain defiant: "Mayor Chen, let me make this very clear: this is the provincial government building. You have no authority to order me to do anything."
Good heavens, that's incredibly arrogant.
Chen Wenjie's anger was like a live volcano; if it erupted, no one present would be spared.
For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to be filled with countless flashes of swords and shadows.
Mayor Chen
Suddenly a voice came from behind, and the person who came was none other than Ye Xingguo, the famous Director of the Public Security Bureau.
Seeing Ye Xingguo's figure, Qi Tongwei finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Big brother, if you hadn't come, I would have had to kneel down. Don't blame me for being heartless then. A big brother should take responsibility."
If a big brother makes his younger brother take the blame for everything when something goes wrong, then he is a very unqualified big brother.
Ye Xingguo had a smile on his face, which gave people a feeling of warmth and comfort. He was indeed a provincial leader who had experienced many ups and downs. Every one of them had emerged from the ranks of the most shrewd and capable people.
"Mayor Chen, what brings you to the provincial government so late?"
"Damn it! You old fool, you don't know anything?" Chen Wenjie was so angry he wanted to curse, but he held back his anger. Ye Xingguo was the vice governor and director of the public security department, and in terms of rank, he had to obey his superior.
"Director Ye, the provincial department suddenly arrested Director Chen. I came to see what happened, but this Comrade Qi Tongwei has been preventing me from seeing the person involved."
Ye Xingguo knew that once Chen Wenru was arrested tonight, her brothers would definitely try every means to exonerate her. If he didn't come, it seemed that Qi Tongwei might not be able to hold out.
"Comrade Qi Tongwei, what exactly happened? Tell me."
"You old bastard, you're quite the actor. Do you think Chen Wenjie won't know we're in cahoots?" Qi Tongwei straightened his chest, saluted, and said righteously:
"Reporting to Director Ye, the case of Chen Wenru's group drug use and group sex is currently under investigation. Mayor Chen has brought people from the procuratorate here to request intervention now, which I believe is inappropriate."
Ye Xingguo also wore a serious expression, putting on a convincing act, and asked, "Tell me, what's wrong with it?"
"Reporting to Director Ye, those involved in the group sex were all Chen Wenru's subordinates. They confessed that they were coerced. The drugs were provided by Chen Wenru. We must now investigate the source of the drugs, so it is not appropriate for the procuratorate to intervene at this time. Of course, there is another point: Mayor Chen and Chief Prosecutor Chen are Chen Wenru's older brothers, both of whom hold high positions of power. If we intervene now, it will inevitably be suspected of protecting her."
You're really bold, kid. Ye Xingguo was quite satisfied; speaking your mind so frankly always makes the other party a little wary.
"Mayor Chen, I believe you would never bend the law for personal reasons, but Comrade Qi Tongwei's words also make sense. This case is still under investigation, so it's best not to let too many factors get involved and affect the progress of the provincial department's investigation. What do you say?"
This was clearly a blatant show of support for that bastard Qi Tongwei. Chen Wenjie wouldn't dare order Qi Tongwei around in front of Ye Xingguo now. A higher-ranking official can have absolute power, and he wasn't as politically naive as Qi Tongwei.
"Director Ye, you're right. Chen Wenru is my sister, and I was indeed a bit hasty in my actions. But the innocent will clear themselves up, and I believe the provincial department will investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Mayor Chen, you're right to think that way. We all bear the responsibility of serving the people, and we must be extremely cautious, especially when it comes to matters concerning our families."
Ye Xingguo's words were a direct warning to Chen Wenjie: "Damn it, Qi Tongwei is under my protection. Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner."
Chen Wenjie suppressed his anger. Ye Xingguo had arrived, and he had no choice but to endure it tonight. He would get his revenge sooner or later.
"Director Ye, you're right. I'll leave immediately and won't delay the provincial department's work."
Ye Xingguo extended his hand, "Mayor Chen, please proceed."
Chen Wenjie turned around and his expression immediately changed. The coldness on his face could freeze a person instantly, which was extremely terrifying.
The prosecutors could only bow their heads and follow along, fortunate enough to witness the contest between two important figures, which gave them something to brag about later.
"You brat, come to my office."
"Yes, Director Ye."
Qi Tongwei immediately followed Ye Xingguo. It felt really good to have a big shot protecting you. He was responsible for killing indiscriminately, while the big shot was responsible for cleaning up the mess. Their cooperation was seamless.
Lan Ying was genuinely envious. If she had a powerful backer like Ye Xingguo, her father's case could definitely be reopened for investigation.
Wu Dali was still impressed by Qi Tongwei's domineering attitude in confronting Mayor Chen; this was the true people's policeman.
Chen Shunjun saw the confrontation between two political forces, each move deadly and decisive, neither able to afford to lose.
Upon arriving at the office, Ye Xingguo asked impatiently, "Are you sure you've got the evidence solid?"
Qi Tongwei chuckled, "Director Ye, I've taken many high-definition photos, the content of which is absolutely exciting and sensational. If any of you leaders wish to admire Deputy Director Chen's naked body, I'll gladly offer you these explicit photos."
Ye Xingguo could hardly imagine the scene. "You be serious, kid. Keep your mouth shut. Develop a few copies of the photos, but absolutely do not leak them, understand?"
Qi Tongwei understood, of course. He could imagine that if Ye Xingguo had shown the photos directly at the provincial party committee meeting, it would have silenced many people.
"Yes, Director Ye, this time I suggest a thorough investigation of Chen Wenru, so that she can never recover."
Chen Wenru wields considerable influence within the police station, and removing this thorn in Ye Xingguo's side is indeed a good thing.
"Once the allegations of group drug use and group sex are confirmed, Chen Wenru will face imprisonment, which is nothing to fear. Are you trying to drag Fuxing herbal tea into this mess?"
The leader truly lives up to his reputation; he has such keen insight.
"Director Ye, Chen Wenru and her husband colluded with the bank to persecute entrepreneurs and seize their property. This is a typical case of collusion between officials and businessmen. I believe it is necessary to investigate this thoroughly and request that the investigation into Wan Hongda's case be reopened."
Ye Xingguo paced back and forth a few steps. He couldn't let temporary victory go to his head. Now that he could take Chen Wenru down, he might as well proceed cautiously. If he made a big fuss, the top leader and the second-in-command might have objections, which would make it seem like he was deliberately causing trouble.
"I disagree. You can focus on thoroughly investigating the source of Chen Wenru's drugs now, but don't escalate the situation further."
Qi Tongwei felt that the leaders were too conservative and didn't know how to kick someone when they're down. Besides, Wan Hongda's case was clearly a miscarriage of justice. Was it wrong to give the people justice?
"Director Ye, please give me a reason to refuse."
