Chapter 259 Who Cares About the Victims?
With blurred vision and fading consciousness, no matter how much Kang Haitao didn't want to die, he still reluctantly breathed his last amidst Qi Tongwei's disdainful and mocking gaze.
The hostages were rescued and the perpetrators were brought to justice, much to the delight of the police officers present.
Kang Haitao, a beast, stripped a woman naked and made blatant threats. This is not only an insult to women, but also a challenge to the morality of the entire country and the dignity of the law.
With Kang Yaozong's son dead, Lan Ying calmed down. How could one of the top businessmen in Tianhe City let this go? Qi Tongwei was probably going to be in trouble again. Of course, Qi Tongwei's shooting was perfectly justified, even if he intended to kill Kang Haitao.
Hua Mudan was sent to the hospital for treatment, and to prevent retaliation, Qi Tongwei sent four police officers to protect her.
Kang Haitao stared wide-eyed, dying with his eyes wide open, and his body was sent to the funeral home.
On his way back to the provincial department, Qi Tongwei called Ye Xingguo to report on the hostage rescue.
Ye Xingguo sighed. This kid really liked to stir up trouble. At the provincial party committee meeting, Chen Wangui had already said that he was deliberately targeting entrepreneurs and undermining economic development. Now, he had Kang Yaozong's son executed, all for a nightclub hostess. Ye Xingguo wanted to curse.
"The hostage was rescued, you did a good job, kid. In that situation, could you have chosen not to shoot?"
Qi Tongwei immediately became agitated, "Director Ye, what do you mean? Don't you believe me? If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate this matter. So many police officers saw it; I didn't embellish or make things up."
"What are you doing, kid? I just said a few words to you and you're about to rebel? I'll definitely send someone to investigate. You should just go back to doing what you were doing."
Ye Xingguo did have some doubts, mainly because Kang Yaozong was a key entrepreneur that the government was paying close attention to.
"Yes, Director Ye."
Qi Tongwei replied listlessly. He could understand it, though. The power struggle between the upper echelons seemed calm on the surface, but beneath the surface, it was a turbulent and life-or-death struggle.
City funeral home.
"My son, my son, you died so tragically, leaving your mother all alone. How am I supposed to live now?"
Wang Xiue lay on her son Kang Haitao's body, crying her heart out. She should now be able to understand a little bit of what Xu Jiajia's parents felt.
Kang Yaozong looked at his son's corpse and trembled with rage. His son was a bastard, worse than an animal, but so what? Who told him to be born with a good father who could settle anything with money?
"Kang Yaozong, give me back my son! Give me back my son!"
Wang Xiue grabbed Kang Yaozong's clothes, crying and screaming, "It's all because of that vixen outside! You abandoned us, mother and son, that's why my son died! Give me back my son!"
Kang Yaozong was heartbroken by his son's death, but he would never take the blame for it. He gave his son money and whatever he wanted, and even got his son out of legal punishment for raping and murdering a female college student. What wrong had he done? There were so many fathers in the country, how many were better than him?
Kang Yaozong shoved Wang Xiue to the ground, and, still not satisfied, kicked her again, showing absolutely no affection for his wife. He roared:
"You're the one who caused our son to become like this, you shrew! And you dare blame me? Have you no shame?"
"Kang Yaozong, you bastard!"
Wang Xiue immediately got up and lunged at Kang Yaozong, but two bodyguards stopped her.
"Let me go! Let me go! Kang Yaozong, you've been keeping so many vixens outside, are you hoping my son dies? You bastard, you'll die a horrible death!"
"My son is dead. The money belongs to those bastards outside. Don't even think about it. I'm not dead yet. All the money belongs to my son. Even after I die, I'll burn it for him."
Kang Yaozong was so angry his blood pressure rose. "Crazy woman! Shrew!"
"Kang Yaozong, I misspoke. You've always looked down on Tao'er and never intended to leave any money to him. Now, are you happy? Stop pretending to be a good father; you don't deserve it."
Wang Xiue's words were like daggers to the heart. Kang Yaozong had no intention of letting Kang Haitao inherit the family business. He didn't want his son to squander everything he had worked so hard for. He wouldn't be satisfied even in the underworld if that happened.
Even though he looked down on his eldest son, Kang Yaozong never thought of letting him die. He would leave him a large sum of money to live on after his own death.
"Wang Xiu'e, I want a divorce!"
"Kang Yaozong, you've finally shown your true colors! Our son's body isn't even cold yet, and you're already trying to divorce me? I won't! I'll cling to you for the rest of my life! You want to marry those vixens outside? You'll only find out when I'm dead!"
A person lives for their pride, and Wang Xiue would rather die than let Kang Yaozong live comfortably.
With his son just dead, Kang Yaozong knew that continuing to talk about it would only make him a laughingstock. He stormed out of the morgue with a dark face and a furious expression.
"Kang Yaozong, if you're a man, you should avenge your son! You bastard, you deserve to die a horrible death!"
Wang Xiue cursed loudly in the morgue, saying that since her son was dead, it was all other people's fault and her son had done nothing wrong.
"My son, my son, how can your mother live like this?"
The news that Kang Yaozong's son was shot in the head by the police spread quickly, especially among business owners. Now that Kang Yaozong is furious, business owners who want to cooperate with him are consciously postponing their plans, not daring to provoke him.
At the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Chen Wenru was in a great mood and specially made herself a cup of coffee. That kid Qi Tongwei killed Kang Yaozong's son. Did he think he didn't have enough enemies? He's a complete idiot with no brains, so stupid it's unbelievable.
The criminal investigation team was in an uproar. "Captain Chen, this is bad! That kid killed Kang Yaozong's son, he's really in deep trouble now!"
Chen Zhihu was both angry and surprised. He was angry because he and Kang Haitao were considered drinking buddies, and now that bastard Qi Tongwei had shot him in the head, it was truly heartbreaking.
Surprisingly, Qi Tongwei, that bastard, has offended more and more people; it seems even a god couldn't save him now.
"Damn it, for the sake of a bitch, that bastard shooting is intentional murder."
"Captain Chen is right. With so many police officers present, if we just patiently comfort Kang Haitao, he will definitely lay down his weapon and surrender."
Although no one believed this, they had to say it, since everyone had to flatter Chen Zhihu.
The truth is, no one dares to take responsibility for the consequences of firing a shot.
If it were an ordinary robber, firing a gun would earn him a commendation and a reward, but that was Kang Yaozong's son, and he might have to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Everyone was rushing to condemn Qi Tongwei, but Old Li remained silent. He was thinking about who truly cared about the female victim. Being naked and slashed by a beast was a double torment of body and mind. The female victim might live in fear for the rest of her life, and Kang Yaozong might not let her go.
"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu, I have good news for you!"
In the urban village, a retired old man excitedly shouted outside Xu Liang's house.
Xu Liang is the father of Xu Jiajia, the female college student whom Kang Haitao raped and murdered three years ago.
