Chapter 232 Retreating Unscathed and Declaring a Challenge
Director Dai hurriedly looked for Chen Zhihu, and when he saw that he was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief. Still not entirely at ease, he ran over to check on Chen Zhihu again, and only when he confirmed that he was alright did he feel truly relieved.
Chen Wenru was also terrified, but seeing that her nephew was alright, she immediately stood up for him.
"Qi Tongwei, how dare you fire a gun in the city police station!"
Chen Zhihu received a signal from his aunt and immediately understood, turning the tables on her.
"Director Dai, Qi Tongwei is lawless. He tried to shoot me. Everyone saw it."
Qi Tongwei laughed heartily, "You two, aunt and niece, are cooperating flawlessly. Whether I fired in self-defense or not, we'll investigate that thoroughly. Black won't be white, and white won't be blackened."
Chen Wenru was furious and embarrassed. No one had ever dared to speak to her like that before. "Qi Tongwei, don't think you can act so recklessly just because you have someone backing you up. Daring to fire a gun in a police station is breaking the law knowingly. Pointing a gun at a policeman is an even more serious crime. Arrest him!"
"Director Chen, Director Chen, calm down, calm down."
Qi Tongwei was Director Ye's man, and Director Dai didn't want to offend anyone; he just wanted to retire peacefully, so he immediately became a nice guy.
Chen Wenru couldn't believe that Dai Chunsheng dared to defy her. The old fox wanted to smooth things over, but she couldn't let him have his way. Qi Tongwei's daring to fire a shot at the police station was a good opportunity to take him down.
"Director Dai, are you perhaps going to protect him?"
"Chief Chen, firing a gun is no small matter, especially in a police station. I just hope you'll be cautious."
Dai Chunsheng turned a blind eye to Chen Wenru keeping a harem at the police station, but he had long been dissatisfied with her. What kind of business was it for a deputy director to be messing around at the police station? But he really couldn't afford to offend Chenjiazhai, so he could only try to survive in the cracks.
Chen Wenru was very firm; she was determined to deal with Qi Tongwei today. "Director Dai, the facts are clear: Qi Tongwei fired the gun without a doubt. Arresting him is perfectly reasonable, and I am acting in accordance with the law."
Director Dai was in a difficult position and was finding it hard to bear; this woman's heart was more venomous than a scorpion's.
The onlookers gasped in shock. A bureau chief was being suppressed by a deputy bureau chief; it seemed that Qi Tongwei was doomed today.
Some people actually hoped that Qi Tongwei's shot just now would have killed Chen Zhihu, which would have eliminated a scumbag from the police station and rid the people of a scourge.
Wu Dali clenched his fists, ready to fight alongside Qi Tongwei as long as he gave the order.
Lan Ying's mind raced. The situation was extremely complicated. Shooting in a police station was unheard of. She worried that Qi Tongwei might act impulsively and recklessly, which would make things even worse.
One must rely on oneself, but one must also learn to leverage external forces.
Seeing the situation, Director Dai probably couldn't stop Chen Wenru. Qi Tongwei knew that if he wanted to leave the Municipal Bureau today, he had to call for help. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Ye Xingguo's number.
"Director Ye, Chen Zhihu from the Criminal Investigation Team tried to shoot me. I fought back in self-defense. Was I wrong?"
These words shocked everyone present. Good heavens, now it's time to compete on who has the best connections.
When the police captain shot and killed Qi Tongwei, Ye Xingguo thought he had misheard. "Are you alright? Where are you? Are there any casualties?"
Qi Tongwei glanced at Chen Wenru, seemingly deliberately provoking her, "Reporting to Director Ye, there were no casualties. I'm fine for now. I'm at the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team. Deputy Director Chen wants to arrest me, and Director Dai is also there."
Chen Wenru gritted her teeth in hatred. Qi Tongwei, that bastard, simply didn't respect her at all; he was utterly despicable.
Director Dai was embarrassed. He was about to retire and, being an old man, really didn't want to get involved in this kind of power struggle.
Ye Xingguo understood that at this point, regardless of right or wrong, he had to cover for Qi Tongwei, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it to Old Qin.
"Let Director Dai answer the phone."
"Yes, Director Ye."
Qi Tongwei handed over the phone, "Director Dai, Director Ye wants you to take this call."
Director Dai quickly answered the phone, "Director Ye, this is Dai Chunsheng."
Ye Xingguo said sternly, "Dai Chunsheng, listen carefully. Opening a gun in a police station is an extremely serious matter. The provincial department will send people to investigate immediately. You are the director, not Chen Wenru. As long as you are still in office, you must take responsibility. Qi Tongwei's problem will be handled by the provincial department, and the problem of the criminal police captain will be handled by you. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Director Ye."
Ye Xingguo gave a direct order, and Dai Chunsheng understood perfectly well that the Municipal Bureau had no authority to deal with Qi Tongwei.
After hanging up the phone, Dai Chunsheng coughed. "Director Chen, Director Ye has issued instructions that the provincial department will immediately organize a team to investigate Qi Tongwei's shooting incident."
"Everyone in the Municipal Bureau must cooperate with the investigation. Comrade Qi Tongwei, you can leave now. Your case will be handled by the Provincial Department."
Chen Wenru protested, "Director Dai, Qi Tongwei fired a shot at the Municipal Public Security Bureau; the nature of the offense is egregious. How can we let him go?"
Chen Zhihu immediately jumped in, "Director Dai, what is this? This is blatant cover-up of crime!"
Qi Tongwei laughed loudly, "Chen Zhihu, doesn't it sound ironic coming from your mouth?"
"Qi Tongwei, stop spouting nonsense! Everyone here saw it: you shot and attacked a police officer, and you even dared to openly call your backer!"
Qi Tongwei clapped his hands. Since they were going to talk, they should say it boldly. "Chen Zhihu, you still have the nerve to talk about your backing? What is Chen Family Village? It's a place that makes ordinary people tremble with fear. Don't you dare mess with me. If you dare mess with me, I'll wipe it out."
The words "Chen Family Village has been destroyed" resounded like a thunderclap, startling the onlookers.
That's fucking arrogant! Chen Wenru seemed to have a premonition that this was Ye Xingguo's way of saying something, a warning to Chenjiazhai.
The words "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger" and "wipe out Chenjiazhai" made Director Dai feel excited, as if he had become ten years younger. He was full of energy, just like he had been injected with chicken blood. The people of Tianhe City had suffered from Chenjiazhai for too long.
Wu Dali rubbed his hands together, full of confidence. He was determined to join Qi Tongwei in wiping out all the monsters and demons in Tianhe City.
This line is inspiring. Even though she is a woman, Lan Ying will definitely carry on her father's will, find out the truth about his death, and restore justice to the people of Tianhe City.
This boy cannot be allowed to live any longer. Chen Zhihu is now truly determined to kill him. Destroying Chen Family Village is to destroy his very foundation, and it will be a fight to the death.
The surroundings were eerily quiet. Director Dai calmed down and almost lost his youthful vigor.
"Calm down, everyone calm down. Comrade Qi Tongwei, you go back to the provincial department first."
"Thank you, Director Dai."
Qi Tongwei glanced at Chen Wenru and Chen Zhihu, then swaggered out of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. So what if he made it clear? Wherever there is crime, he will take care of it, without hesitation, leaving no one alive.
Chen Wenru stormed back to her office and immediately called Qiu Jinkun, saying, "That kid has messed with me. You'd better deal with him yourself."
"Director Chen, don't worry, I won't let that kid get away with it. You'll hear good news in the next few days."
Chen Wenru was still angry. "Arrange a room for me to rest, I'll be there right away."
"Yes, Director Chen."
Only male models can calm Chen Wenru down now.
"Release that nightclub hostess's parents immediately, return their belongings, and tell them to keep quiet."
Chen Zhihu was unwilling to let the money he had almost earned slip away. "Auntie, why? What is a farmer afraid of?"
Chen Wenru was furious, "Idiot, do you really need that little bit of money?"
"Okay, Auntie."
Chen Zhihu had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
"I'll get on it right away. I'm going out for a bit."
After saying that, Chen Wenru walked out of the office with a dark face. So what if the provincial department came to investigate? She wasn't worried that anyone would dare to say anything out of line.
Qi Tongwei returned to the provincial department and had barely entered his office when Ye Xingguo stormed in, demanding an explanation.
