Chapter 35 A storm is brewing, and all sides are in turmoil!
Hou Liangping left the Municipal Public Security Bureau with the "hot potato" that was enough to ignite the entire officialdom of Handong.
His silhouette carried a tragic grandeur, like the mournful cry of a lone figure on a cold river.
He knew that he was about to face a fierce counterattack from the entire corrupt group in Handong.
But his eyes were unusually firm.
Because he knew that behind him, in the shadows unseen by all, stood an ally more terrifying than any enemy.
Qi Tongwei stood by the office window, watching Hou Liangping's car disappear into the traffic.
His face was expressionless.
Chen Hai walked in, his face full of worry.
"Tongwei, you gave such important evidence to Hou Liangping?"
"What if... what if he can't withstand the pressure, or something unexpected happens..."
Qi Tongwei shook his head.
"He can handle it."
"Hou Liangping may be a bit naive, but he has a strong backbone."
"Moreover, his identity is his best shield."
He paused, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
"Now, all eyes are on him."
"And we should also do what we should do."
He turned around and gave Chen Hai the order.
"Immediately close in on the 'Golden Splendor' case and the Qian Liwei case."
"Every single person involved in this case will be arrested; there will be absolutely no leniency!"
"Furthermore, have Cai Chenggong, on behalf of all the employees of Dafeng Factory, formally file a lawsuit with the Intermediate People's Court of the city, demanding a re-determination of the ownership of Dafeng Factory's shares!"
"Let's make this a huge fuss!"
"yes!"
Chen Hai accepted the order and left, his steps filled with strength.
A massive storm is quietly gathering over Jingzhou.
……
The office of Gao Yuliang, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong Province.
He had just finished listening to a report from one of his trusted confidants, and his face was so gloomy it could drip water.
"Hou Liangping, did you obtain Cai Chenggong's account books and recordings?"
"He also went to the provincial procuratorate and reviewed all the case files related to the Shanshui Group?"
Gao Yuliang's fingers tapped forcefully on the table.
Boom, boom, boom.
Each blow felt like a blow to his heart.
He knew that Hou Liangping's knife had already been drawn.
This knife, seemingly pointed at Zhao Ruilong, will ultimately fall on his own head.
Because behind the Shanshui Group stands not only Zhao Ruilong.
And then there's Gao Yuliang.
He cannot sit idly by and wait for his death.
He picked up the phone and dialed Zhao Ruilong's number.
"Ruilong, things are getting out of control."
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Ruilong's nonchalant laughter came through.
"Teacher Gao, what's the panic?"
"Isn't he just Hou Liangping?"
"What can a hothead from the capital possibly do to cause trouble?"
"I've already made arrangements; he won't be able to find anything."
Gao Yuliang sighed.
"Ruilong, you underestimate him."
"You're underestimating the people behind him."
He didn't explicitly say who that person was, but he knew that Zhao Ruilong understood.
"Hou Liangping is just a front."
"What's truly terrifying is the person lurking in the shadows, handing him the knife."
"Qi Tongwei!"
Zhao Ruilong's laughter on the other end of the phone stopped.
"he?"
"What can a newly arrived, lone commander accomplish?"
You're wrong.
Gao Yuliang's voice became extremely solemn.
"He's not a lone commander."
"He is a wolf that eats people."
"We must crush him completely before he gains a firm foothold!"
……
Shanshui Manor.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Xiaoqin's beautiful face showed a serious expression for the first time.
She walked to the window and looked at the shimmering surface of Crescent Lake, but her heart was filled with turbulent emotions.
Qi Tongwei.
The man who rejected her and her sister in the private room.
That man with cold eyes, yet also a hint of pity she couldn't understand.
She had thought he was just a heartless stone.
Unexpectedly, this stone was so hard and so terrifying.
He first brought down Qian Liwei, and now he's going after Dafeng Factory.
Every step he took was precisely aimed at the Achilles' heel of the Shanshui Group.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
A soft, delicate voice came from behind her.
Gao Xiaofeng walked over with a glass of red wine in her hand.
A trace of girlish melancholy still lingered on her face.
"I'm wondering if we've messed with someone we shouldn't have."
Gao Xiaoqin took the wine glass and gently swirled the crimson liquid inside.
"Xiaofeng, what kind of person do you think Director Qi is?"
Gao Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, and Qi Tongwei's cold face and deep eyes reappeared in her mind.
Her cheeks flushed slightly.
"He...he doesn't seem like a bad person."
"Doesn't seem like a bad guy?"
Gao Xiaoqin gave a bitter smile.
"In this world, good people don't live long."
"And he is doing very well."
"Therefore, he must be worse and more terrifying than anyone we have ever met."
She tilted her head back and drank the red wine in her glass in one gulp.
The spicy liquid slid down her throat, but it couldn't suppress the growing unease in her heart.
……
Jingzhou Public Security Bureau.
Qi Tongwei's office was brightly lit.
He was looking at a map showing the distribution of underground forces in Jingzhou, which Chen Hai had just sent him.
His finger stopped on a name.
Liu Huaqiang.
The "big boss" of the largest building materials market in Jingzhou has hundreds of employees under his command and is known for his ruthlessness.
And behind him, the shadow of the Shanshui Group is also faintly visible.
A cold smile curled at the corners of Qi Tongwei's lips.
He knew that Zhao Ruilong's counterattack would come soon.
The most common method used by people who operate in both the legitimate and criminal worlds is violence.
They will use the most direct and bloody methods to "solve" the problem.
Or, to put it another way, it's about dealing with "the person who raised the question."
well.
He was worried because he didn't have a suitable reason to take action against the deeply entrenched underground forces in Jingzhou.
Now, the opportunity has come knocking.
He picked up the phone and called Chen Hai.
"Pass the word down."
"Starting tonight, a month-long special campaign to crack down on organized crime will be launched throughout the city."
"Operation codename: 'Thunder'!"
What he needs to do is not just respond to the challenge.
He wants to take the initiative and turn the entire underground world of Jingzhou upside down!
He wanted Zhao Ruilong to know.
The "power" he relied on was utterly vulnerable in the face of his own strength.
He wanted the entire Handong region to hear the howl of this lone wolf!
