Chapter 211 Lao Tzu's Ability to Bend and Stretch
Municipal Bureau.
After showing his identification, Qi Tongwei swaggered in with Wu Dali and Lan Ying.
The police officers upstairs peered out the window, eager to see what was happening. The news that Qi Tongwei had slapped Chen Zhihu twice had spread throughout the city bureau. Some felt it was a slap in the face to the bureau, while most thought it was a good thing.
The Municipal Public Security Bureau is now under Chen Wenru's control, creating a chaotic situation where everyone can only feel angry but dare not speak out.
"I heard the provincial department is coming to take over the criminal investigation team's case; this is going to be interesting."
"That kid's from out of town. I bet the provincial leaders sent him here on purpose to teach those people from Chenjiazhai a lesson."
"The provincial department's task force is for arresting drug dealers, so it should be fine, right?"
"You're thinking too simply. Chenjia Village is powerful. Do you really think the higher-ups are fools who know everything perfectly well?"
"Chenjiazhai has been operating in Tianhe City for so many years, and the entangled interests are too numerous to be simple. Even if there is to be a reckoning, it will only be a warning, and a few henchmen will be arrested."
"Stop talking, stop talking, the boss is coming!"
Lan Ying knew the location of the criminal investigation team's office and led Qi Tongwei there directly. The team was holding a meeting to analyze the case of the nightclub hostess who had been raped and murdered.
Qi Tongwei pushed open the conference room door, and Chen Zhihu flew into a rage.
"Who the hell let any Tom, Dick, or Harry in here? If we can't solve the case, whose fault is it?"
Chen Zhihu was merely using this as an excuse to vent his anger, while Qi Tongwei restrained himself, thinking that being scolded a couple of times was nothing.
"Captain Chen, the provincial department has taken over the nightclub case. Please take a look at the handover documents."
Chen Zhihu walked over and picked up the handover documents, looking arrogant. "Qi Tongwei, can you solve cases? If you can't, will you take responsibility? This is a murder case, a matter of life and death. You need to use your brain, not brute force."
Qi Tongwei retorted in a friendly manner, "Captain Chen, do I have a master's degree? Does that mean I have a brain?"
Chen Zhihu's expression changed drastically. "Damn it, they dare to be arrogant on my turf."
"The case has reached a critical point and is about to be solved. I'm warning you, go back to where you came from right now and don't cause me any trouble. This is the Municipal Public Security Bureau, not a place for you to run wild."
Qi Tongwei remained unfazed. "Captain Chen, the handover documents you have were issued by the provincial department. I advise you to consult your superiors; you can't make that decision on your own."
Chen Zhihu felt humiliated and pointed angrily at Qi Tongwei, "I don't need you to teach me how to do things. You can get lost and go back to wait for our instructions."
Human life is at stake, and Qi Tongwei didn't want to waste time on personal grudges.
"Since Captain Chen isn't cooperating, I'll go find your superior myself."
Chen Zhihu roared, "Are you fucking deaf? I'm telling you to get the hell out of here!"
Qi Tongwei remained calm, turned around and left the meeting room. He was there to collect a case, not to argue or fight.
Wu Dali clenched his fists, ready to strike. This was too damn bullying.
Lan Ying was quite surprised that Qi Tongwei had actually tolerated being insulted to his face. It was unbelievable; he really was flexible and adaptable.
Chen Zhihu was even more furious when Qi Tongwei ignored him. He tried to provoke him and beat him up again, but Qi Tongwei didn't fall for it.
He grew increasingly angry and quickly chased after her.
Qi Tongwei didn't go downstairs, but walked towards Deputy Director Chen Wenru's office. He wasn't the type to avoid difficulties.
Chen Zhihu ran ahead and blocked Qi Tongwei, pointing at him fiercely, his finger almost poking his face.
"Damn it, can't you understand what I'm saying?"
This was intolerable. Qi Tongwei was no pushover and would not be easily manipulated. He grabbed two of Chen Zhihu's fingers and twisted them hard, causing Chen Zhihu to kneel on the ground in pain, screaming in agony.
"Hey, let me go! Let me go!"
Qi Tongwei looked down at Chen Zhihu and said, "You're more damn noisy than a fly in a latrine. My ears are calloused from hearing you."
Immediately, the criminal police rushed over and shouted angrily at Qi Tongwei.
"open"
"Let go!"
"Let go, you fucking let go!"
"You fucking let go of our captain right now!"
The city's criminal investigation team, which followed Chen Zhihu, enjoyed a life of luxury, while those unwilling to join him were transferred away.
Wu Dali clenched his fists angrily, protecting Qi Tongwei's back. He would show no mercy to anyone who dared to lay a hand on him.
Lan Ying was also on high alert, after all, this was the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and she might get beaten up and then be falsely accused.
What are you doing?
Deputy Director Chen Wenru walked out with an air of authority, and upon seeing her nephew kneeling in front of Qi Tongwei, she felt an urge to shoot him dead.
He still had to give Chen Zhihu the face he deserved, so Qi Tongwei released Chen Zhihu abruptly. Chen Zhihu gritted his teeth in pain, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Qi Tongwei looked at Chen Wenru's murderous eyes with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
"Director Chen, this is Qi Tongwei from the Provincial Department. I'm here to handle the nightclub case. Please ask the Criminal Investigation Team to do me a favor."
"Fuck your mother!"
Chen Zhihu recovered, but forgot to learn from the lesson of the provincial department last time. He angrily drew his gun, but Qi Tongwei was quick to kick him away.
"Zhihu, what are you doing? Calm down!"
Chen Wenru roared, utterly exasperated. She had told her nephew many times about his impulsive nature, but to no avail.
Chen Zhihu was still somewhat afraid of this aunt; the nickname "Empress Wu" of the Municipal Public Security Bureau was no joke. He could only suppress his anger and stand aside.
The pistol bounced off the impact and landed at Chen Wenru's feet. She bent down to pick it up, and although she wanted to shoot Qi Tongwei, she thought it was unnecessary. If he were to kill someone so openly, it would mean that Chen Family Village had fallen on hard times, or that he had been forced to the brink of death. She didn't think Qi Tongwei had that kind of ability.
"Comrade Qi Tongwei, shouldn't you apologize to the criminal investigation captain for your behavior just now?"
"Director Chen is right. I'm new here and have indeed done some things wrong. Captain Chen, please forgive me."
Qi Tongwei felt no guilt whatsoever. It was just an apology; it wouldn't cost him anything. His main strength was his flexibility and adaptability.
Chen Wenru was stunned for a moment. Where did your arrogance go? You've become such a coward.
Everyone was taken aback; did this kid think his words were just empty talk?
Wu Dali stared in disbelief. "Brother, I was all ready to fight to the death, why did you give up first?"
Lan Ying understood a little. No wonder Qi Tongwei was appreciated by his superiors. He was decisive in his work, flexible and adaptable, and knew when to be firm and when to be soft.
Chen Zhihu exclaimed that he was an expert, saying, "If you're so sensible, why don't you become my dog instead of going against me?"
Qi Tongwei smiled ingratiatingly, "Director Chen, can we hand over the nightclub case now?"
It's not that simple. Chen Wenru won't be fooled by Qi Tongwei's pretense. This kid has changed from a biting dog to a non-biting dog, but he's still very bad. Who knows when he'll bite his owner to death.
"Comrade Qi Tongwei, the first 24 hours are crucial in a murder case. You've been making some assumptions; this shows a lack of thorough consideration."
