Chapter 221 Let's see whose backing is stronger
"You can't hit someone who's smiling," so Li Jitao suppressed his anger for the time being, gritting his teeth as he pointed at Qi Tongwei.
"Come to my office right now."
Qi Tongwei, being quite perceptive, replied, "Yes, sir."
Lan Ying watched the two leaders standing in front and behind her from behind, and felt a chill run down her spine for Qi Tongwei.
One of the policemen laughed and said, "Qi Zhi is in big trouble."
Upon arriving at Li Jitao's office, Li Jitao's anger surged. "Close the door!"
Qi Tongwei tried to be clever, but his superiors saw through him immediately and he had no choice but to close the door.
"Boss, calm down. Getting angry is bad for your liver."
This kid seems to understand everything; he's just deliberately causing trouble.
Li Jitao was furious, his nose practically spitting fire. "Qi Tongwei, what exactly are you trying to do? Do you think you can really act with impunity just because you have connections with Director Ye?"
Qi Tongwei immediately straightened his posture, "Boss, please let me explain."
Li Jitao didn't want to listen at all. This kid was too good at arguing; he could turn black into white and white into black.
"What are you explaining? I'm just asking you, what authority do you have to shut down the Golden Phoenix Nightclub? Are you from the Industry and Commerce Bureau? Or are you on a raid on prostitution?"
Qi Tongwei acted on a whim, without even considering the reasons.
Suddenly, an idea struck him. "Boss," he said, "the gang led by Lu Jin, armed with machetes and steel pipes, violently obstructed the police from enforcing the law. I was just exercising my duties as a police officer, and we're still interrogating them. I haven't had a chance to report to you yet."
Li Jitao glared angrily. This kid really knows how to spout nonsense. "How can you be so sure they're gangsters?"
"Boss, the investigation is still ongoing. Many colleagues saw it: Lu Jin was with a dozen thugs armed with machetes and steel pipes. I didn't make that up."
Qi Tongwei spoke with conviction, arguing that even without evidence, Lu Jin and his gang were definitely not innocent.
Li Jitao calmed down a bit. Given this unexpected situation, taking temporary measures to shut down the Golden Phoenix Nightclub seemed reasonable.
"So, did you find out anything, kid?"
Qi Tongwei feigned a wronged expression, "Boss, gangsters don't confess so easily. If you allow me to use a few tricks on him, I guarantee he'll confess quickly."
This kid is really pushing his luck. Li Jitao didn't dare to say anything more. "Stop it, kid. Don't even think about it. Everything must be done according to the law and regulations, understand?"
"Understood, sir."
Qi Tongwei roared, his voice filled with righteous indignation. Observing Li Jitao's expression, he concluded that they had temporarily passed the test.
Li Jitao thought to himself, "Wait a minute, I just got so much criticism from the municipal government leaders, am I just going to let this kid off so easily?"
"Tell me, how many days are you going to shut down the Golden Phoenix Nightclub?"
"The number of days the leader says goes."
Qi Tongwei immediately shifted the blame to his superiors, saying that superiors like to make decisions and subordinates should know how to do so.
Li Jitao was immediately dumbfounded, as if he had been choked by a cold steamed bun. After all this time, it turned out that this kid was playing tricks on him.
I'm asking you.
The leader passed the buck back to them, and their attempt to steal a chicken backfired.
Qi Tongwei said with a forced smile, "Sir, in my opinion, we should join forces with the fire department, the industry and commerce bureau, and the tax bureau to conduct a comprehensive overhaul of the Golden Phoenix Nightclub. The exact number of days will depend on the actual situation."
Li Jitao pointed at Qi Tongwei in anger, really wanting to curse. If this kid becomes a high-ranking official, he probably won't be a good person either.
"You should focus on solving the case. Immediately recall all the police officers stationed at the Golden Phoenix Nightclub. Business matters are none of your concern."
Qi Tongwei was a little unwilling, "Alright, boss."
"roll"
Li Jitao plopped down in his chair. He had no idea what to do with Qi Tongwei, this troublemaker, and he had no idea what Director Ye was up to.
"Boss, you should get some rest."
Qi Tongwei finally breathed a sigh of relief. After he went outside, Lan Ying came over.
"Chief Qi, what did the leader say?"
"He didn't say anything. I'll call Wu Dali and tell him to leave in a bit. Everyone should stop working overtime and go home to rest early."
Lan Ying thought she had misheard, "Chief Qi, let's not continue the trial."
"The criminal investigation team might have news tomorrow, so make sure your friend tells them as soon as possible."
Lan Ying was speechless; her friend was being treated like a spy. "Yes, Qi Zhi."
After making the call to Wu Dali, Qi Tongwei drove straight back to the hotel. Even if the sky were to fall, he had to get some sleep first.
When Qiu Jinkun heard that Qi Tongwei had shut down his Golden Phoenix Nightclub, he was furious. His first call was to Chen Wenru. Chen Wenru was also surprised that Qi Tongwei was so bold. What was the death of a nightclub hostess? The loss of a nightclub closing for a day was a huge loss.
After her husband Cao Wenxuan finished showering, he climbed into bed with her. The two of them were each doing their own thing outside, and they both knew it. Of course, given the power of Chen Wenru's family, Cao Wenxuan didn't dare to divorce her. If they did, he might be ruined. So it was better to use each other, especially since they had a son together.
Chen Wenru is the one who calls the shots at home. Cao Wenxuan, who comes from an intellectual background, is now full of evil intentions and reeks of money. He has degenerated into a beast in human form.
Cao Wenxuan picked up a book on finance. He was currently studying finance because making money from finance was much faster than struggling to make money in the real economy.
"Wenru, your municipal bureau just can't do anything about that kid."
Chen Wenru leaned against the pillow. She had her period and couldn't go out and play with young men. She could only go home and be a good wife and mother.
"That kid is Director Ye's man; he hasn't done anything seriously wrong, so we can't take him down for now."
Cao Wenxuan put down his book and smiled sinisterly, "Wenru, if there's no mistake, then create one for that kid, like murder or something. I guarantee he'll never be able to recover."
Some things are so obvious that even a three-year-old can see the problem, but as long as power holds sway, no one can overturn them, such as wrongful convictions.
Chen Wenru had considered this. For ordinary people, it was indeed a good method, but for someone like Qi Tongwei with powerful backing, it might backfire.
"That kid has offended Qiu Jinkun now; he might be lying dead in the street any day now."
Cao Wenxuan nodded. "That makes sense. Someone like Qiu Jinkun, who's involved in organized crime, is capable of hiring a ruthless thug to kill a policeman."
"How are your talks with the Hong Kong businessman going? How much are they planning to invest?"
Cao Wenxuan started a herbal tea company, planning to launch it on the stock market in two or three years, since selling herbal tea is definitely not as profitable as speculating on stocks.
"Negotiations are still ongoing. Hong Kong business owners are very cunning; they won't act until they see results. But it shouldn't be a big problem. If they want to invest and do business in eastern Guangdong, they'll have to rely on us."
When outsiders come to eastern Guangdong to do business, the Chen siblings from Chenjiazhai can be said to have absolute power in the business world.
Okay, time for bed.
Qiu Jinkun paced anxiously in the villa. If he were ten years younger, he would have grabbed a shotgun and stormed into the hotel, riddling Qi Tongwei with bullets.
