Chapter 148 The Final Battle is Imminent
Qi Tongwei waved his hand, "Mr. Cao, I didn't hit a person, just a clown at most, why should I care?"
Arrogant, presumptuous, and unreasonable.
"Qi Tongwei, you just wait till I, Yuan Gang, cripple you, or I'm not working in Shanghai anymore!"
Yuan Gang clenched his fists tightly, but he didn't dare to make a move. He couldn't win.
Cao Xinwei raised his hand to stop Yuan Gang from acting impulsively, saying that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle.
"Captain Qi, if you continue like this as a policeman, I estimate you'll have to leave Shanghai in ten days at most, and you might even face imprisonment."
Qi Tongwei felt that Cao Xinwei's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
“Mr. Cao, then we’ll wait and see. I don’t think Ms. Zhou Lin needs your help, her good friend. You can leave now.”
Cao Xinwei suppressed his anger; in Shanghai, no one dared to order him around.
"Captain Qi, I think you're the one who's leaving. I heard the person who died at customs was your friend. I advise you not to waste your time here."
Qi Tongwei stepped forward and stared at Cao Xinwei. "My friend died for his country. Those who harmed him must be cowering in the sewers right now. I will definitely catch those stinking rats."
Cao Xinwei appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. This Qi Tongwei was truly not to be allowed to live. In seven days, Secretary Zhu would be transferred, and in the same seven days, 30 billion yuan worth of smuggled goods would arrive at the port. Was he trying to send Secretary Zhu off? How arrogant!
"Captain Qi, I hope you can maintain this confidence. Since you insist on serving the people today, I'll give you a chance. Zhou Lin, I'll come see you and the child again tomorrow."
Cao Xinwei walked away without looking back. Yuan Gang made a throat-slitting gesture at Qi Tongwei, and Qi Tongwei responded by shooting him in the head.
Zhou Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Xinwei was certain that she wouldn't dare to tell the truth, and indeed she didn't. He couldn't help but kindly remind Qi Tongwei.
"Captain Qi, Cao Xinwei's father is the vice mayor. You must be careful."
"I know"
The three simple words shocked Zhou Lin. Why would he dare to be so brave knowing this? Did he have an even bigger backer?
Qi Tongwei said seriously, "Ms. Zhou Lin, if I'm not mistaken, the injuries on your body are related to Cao Xinwei. I know you're afraid to sue him, and I hope that after I send him to prison, you will bravely stand up."
Zhou Lin was shocked. Qi Tongwei was actually going to send Cao Xinwei to prison? Really? She couldn't believe it. His father was the vice mayor. Could he really be so powerful? Yet, she hoped it was true. Only then could she get rid of Cao Xinwei for the rest of her life.
"Thank you, Captain Qi."
"Don't worry about the medical expenses. I'll leave you a phone number; contact me anytime if you need anything. You must believe that there is still fairness and justice in this world."
Qi Tongwei took out three thousand yuan from his bag. "Take this money. You have to be strong for your daughter's sake."
Zhou Lin wanted to refuse, but couldn't bring herself to say it, and could only let Qi Tongwei put the money in her hands.
At that moment, she believed that there were still good people in the world.
Tears streamed down her face. She didn't know what to say; all the words she wanted to express could be summed up in two simple words: "Thank you."
"Alright, we're leaving now. You must trust the people's police."
Qi Tongwei left with Tian Xiaobing. Zhou Lin watched Qi Tongwei's retreating figure, clutching the money tightly in her hand. She had found the courage to sue Cao Xinwei.
Upon returning to the Municipal Bureau, Han Weiping immediately summoned Qi Tongwei to his office.
Can the case be solved within seven days?
Qi Tongwei was quite shocked by Han Weiping's sudden remark. Why seven days? Why the rush?
"Director Han, has something happened?"
Seven days later, Secretary Zhu will be transferred. Han Weiping just received the notification. It's hard to say whether the new secretary will support him after taking office. Han Weiping is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Tell me honestly, is that even possible?"
"Director Han, wait a moment while I check when Tailong Shipping has a ship arriving at the port."
"Okay, go check it out right away."
"Yes, Director Han."
Qi Tongwei immediately went out and checked the arrival time of Tailong Shipping's next ship, which was seven days later.
Holy crap, what a coincidence!
He immediately rushed into Han Weiping's office. "Director Han, the Tailong Shipping ship will arrive at the port in seven days, but we don't know if there's any smuggled goods this time."
Han Weiping clenched his fists, knowing he had to take one last gamble. "Let's take a gamble. We'll solve the case in seven days. What are your thoughts, kid?"
Qi Tongwei guessed that there must have been some changes at the top. Recalling Cao Xinwei's words that he would be imprisoned in ten days, it now seemed that it was not a simple threat.
"Director Han, since that's the case, I have an idea. If there really are smuggled goods coming in, the frontline customs officers will definitely know best. Let's secretly arrest Liu Duoli, the director of the customs office, a day in advance, and pry his mouth open by any means necessary."
Han Weiping understood that this was indeed a good method, even if the means were illegal, but he had no other choice.
"Let me think about it, please go out first."
"Yes, Director Han."
After Qi Tongwei left, Han Weiping immediately reported the plan to Secretary Zhu.
Comrades are risking their lives on the front lines, and Secretary Zhu has no reason to back down. He also hopes to capture the smuggling gang before he leaves.
"I agree to this plan. Thank you for your hard work, comrades."
"Yes, Director Han."
Han Weiping breathed a sigh of relief; whether he won or lost would depend on what happened in seven days.
Qi Tongwei was sitting in a chair when he suddenly reached into his pocket and remembered that there was a letter there.
He immediately opened it and found it was a letter of complaint accusing Zhang Baojiang, the deputy director of the anti-smuggling bureau, of colluding with smuggling gangs, which caused the anti-smuggling team's missions to always fail. The letter also accused Zhang Baojiang of keeping a mistress and buying her a house.
The whistleblower was a friend of Song Shuguang who joined the anti-smuggling team together. Although he was not as idealistic as Song Shuguang, he still had a patriotic heart and deeply hated those parasites who emptied the country.
Han Weiping called Qi Tongwei to his office, his face serious as he made up his mind.
"Go with your plan."
"Yes, Director Han, I have a letter of complaint here. Please take a look."
Qi Tongwei handed the letter to Han Weiping, who read it carefully.
"With smuggling rings so rampant, I think the contents of this letter are highly likely to be the truth. What do you plan to do?"
"Director Han, if this letter is genuine, I'd like to remove this thorn in our side, the Anti-Smuggling Bureau, as soon as possible. We also need the strength of the Anti-Smuggling Team."
Han Weiping thought for a moment, "Wouldn't this alert the enemy?"
"We can pretend that someone reported prostitution and have Zhang Baojiang and his mistress arrested, then get the disciplinary committee involved to temporarily suspend Zhang Baojiang from his duties."
Han Weiping nodded; this method was feasible. "Then I'll have the local police station handle it."
"Director Han, just let me handle this. Even if others find out, they'll think I'm taking revenge for school bullying."
At this critical moment, Han Weiping decided to go all out, saying, "Then let's do it this way. You go and verify the authenticity of this letter first."
"Yes, Director Han."
After leaving, Qi Tongwei called Tang Guozhong and Tian Xiaobing to the rooftop and ordered them to stake out Zhang Baojiang and his lover.
