Chapter 350 Eating people without spitting out bones
Wan Yunyun was unwilling, because this was a letter written to her by Officer Qi, whom she had longed to hear clear her father's name.
"I won't burn it, Mom. Don't you believe Officer Qi?"
Zhao Jing was anxious. How could her silly daughter have such high hopes for someone she had never even met?
"Yunyun, listen to your mother. This could very well be a trap set by those bad guys. You know, Officer Qi is no relation to us. Why would he help us?"
Wan Yunyun is now convinced that Qi Tongwei is the only one who can seek justice for her father.
“Mom, when the workers from Fuxing Herbal Tea kidnapped that heartless boss, Officer Qi stood completely by their side, helped them get their wages, and humiliated that heartless boss. You know all of this, so how can you doubt Officer Qi?”
From an outsider's perspective, Zhao Jing certainly believed that Qi Tongwei was a good policeman who served the people, but now that her children's safety was at stake, she had to think more carefully.
Even if Qi Tongwei humiliated Cao Wenxuan and got the workers their wages, it might have been for his own political achievements. After all, causing a mass incident has serious consequences, and in doing so, the higher-ups would appreciate him.
The reason he wasn't afraid of Chen Wenru was because she was transferred from another place, and it was entirely possible that she was just there to gain experience.
In this way, he wouldn't need to get involved in Wan Hongda's case, because that case involved many people, and any investigation would be met with resistance from various parties, so there was no need to do something thankless.
Having experienced the destruction of her family, Zhao Jing no longer believes that any of those officials are good people; they are all driven by self-interest and are ruthless.
"Yunyun, you are too young to know the dangers of this world. Listen to your mother, people are wicked. Take this letter and burn it right away."
Wan Yunyun clutched the letter tightly. "Mom, let's trust Officer Qi just this once, okay? He's definitely a good policeman."
Zhao Jing's expression changed, and she snapped at her daughter, "Wan Yunyun, don't you listen to me anymore? Are you trying to get our whole family killed?"
Her mother had never spoken so harshly to her before. Wan Yunyun ran upstairs crying. She still refused to burn the letter, as she had already regarded Qi Tongwei as the family's last hope.
Just to be on the safe side, Qi Tongwei went back to the Tianhe Hotel after get off work and then quietly slipped out. Damn it, he, a policeman, was acting like a shady spy.
Late at night, Qi Tongwei, along with Lan Ying and Wu Dali, parked their car outside and walked into the urban village. As usual, Wu Dali kept watch outside while Qi Tongwei and Lan Ying climbed over the wall into the courtyard.
Hearing footsteps in the courtyard, Zhao Jing gripped her daughter's hand tightly. "Yunyun, don't be afraid. If it's not Officer Qi, don't say a word."
Wan Yunyun was so nervous that she couldn't help but tremble. She was also afraid that if her mother's guess was right, she couldn't even imagine what would happen tonight.
Qi Tongwei appeared at the door in a flash and knocked three times gently according to the code.
Zhao Jing took a deep breath, hoping her daughter was right, and silently prayed for God's blessing.
"Yunyun, push Mommy over there."
Wan Yunyun became even more nervous, hoping that Officer Qi would really appear like Bao Qingtian, who was fearless of power and incorruptible.
Zhao Jing was pushed to the door by her daughter. After hesitating for a moment, she took the stick that was blocking the door. The door was not locked. She did not question the stranger outside, even though she had risked her children's lives.
Even if it was a trap set by Chen Wenru, she had no choice but to jump in, because there was still a 50% chance of success if she gambled, and the result would be the same if she didn't gamble; Chen Wenru still wouldn't let them go.
Qi Tongwei gently pushed open the door and saw a mother and daughter standing behind her. The mother was sitting in a wheelchair.
Wan Yunyun had never met Qi Tongwei before, but the tall and handsome man in front of her looked upright and righteous.
"Officer Qi"
"Talking inside the house"
Qi Tongwei and Lan Ying quickly went inside and closed the door.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Qi Tongwei, and I'm a police officer from the provincial department's special task force."
Qi Tongwei also handed the police identification to Zhao Jing, who was in a wheelchair. Zhao Jing looked at it with disbelief, and after worrying for several hours, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Officer Qi, I am Zhao Jing, Wan Hongda's wife, and this is my daughter, Wan Yunyun. Thank you for believing my husband is innocent."
Now that it was confirmed to be Officer Qi, Wan Yunyun was overwhelmed with unspoken thoughts and simply stared blankly at Qi Tongwei.
"This is my colleague, Officer Lan. Don't worry, I have no connection with Chen Wenru or Chenjiazhai. Let's talk in the inner room; it'll be safer."
“good good”
Zhao Jing was filled with excitement; she seemed to see hope in overturning her husband's case.
Wan Yunyun was stunned for a moment, then quickly pushed her mother into the inner room, which was Zhao Jing's bedroom. The furnishings were very simple, with only a bed and even the dressing table had been removed. She was afraid to see herself in the mirror and worried that she wouldn't be able to hold on until her husband was released from prison.
"Officer Qi, Officer Lan, please sit on the bed."
"it is good"
Time was of the essence, and Qi Tongwei didn't need to refuse, so he sat down on the bed.
"Then tell me more about your husband's case."
Zhao Jing's eyes were filled with sadness. Finally, a policeman was willing to listen to her, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Officer Qi, my husband is a good man, he's been wronged..."
Zhao Jing recounted everything in detail, which was basically the same as what Xiang Guangming had said, except that she explained some details more clearly.
Qi Tongwei can basically conclude that Wan Hongda was wronged and framed. It seems that sometimes having too much money is not a good thing. If someone targets you, you might end up with your family ruined.
"Zhao Jing, have you ever petitioned the government?"
Zhao Jing wiped away her tears. "Officer Qi, Captain Chen from the criminal investigation team warned me that he would kill my children if I dared to petition. I dare not petition."
Have you met Chen Wenru?
Zhao Jing felt a deep sense of fear whenever she thought of Chen Wenru's face.
"I saw her in the interrogation room. The criminal police beat and tortured me, and she just watched quietly, as calm as a devil. Later I found out she was Cao Wenxuan's wife."
"The bank suddenly stopped lending money and was urgently demanding repayment. This was a trap deliberately set for my husband by Chen Wenru and her husband."
“My husband borrowed money from the workers; it wasn’t illegal fundraising at all. We offered two options: one was to repay the money later at an interest rate higher than that of banks, and the other was to treat it as an investment.”
“The factory has been doing well these past few years, the workers have received high wages, and they get benefits during holidays and festivals. They also get dividends every year. How could my husband cheat the workers out of their money?”
"Officer Qi, this is blatant collusion between officials and businessmen; they're just looking for a pretext to frame you."
The terrifying collusion between officials and businessmen—even the once mighty Soviet Union, a red empire that made the United States tremble, still fell victim to bureaucracy.
"I now have a basic understanding of your husband's case, and there are indeed significant problems. However, you need to be patient; overturning the case won't be easy."
