Chapter 413 Searching for a Substitute
Chapter 413 Searching for a Substitute
Those damn gangsters are good at intimidating and killing entire families, as if they themselves sprang from a rock. In reality, they only scare the timid. If anyone is willing to risk it and just stab them in the back, they'll still be terrified and kneel down calling for their grandfather.
Qi Tongwei liked this kind of stubborn gangster. He slapped Chen Daju more than a dozen times, leaving both sides of his face swollen and making him look much fatter.
"Come on, keep spouting threats. After killing my whole family, are you going to blow up the Earth?"
Chen Daju opened his mouth and felt excruciating pain. Before, the police station couldn't do anything to him. His underlings would beat someone up and get arrested, but a phone call would get them released immediately. Now he had fallen into the hands of the living devil. It turned out that the police weren't all pushovers.
"You'd better let me go if you dare!"
Qi Tongwei laughed loudly, "This guy is a complete idiot."
"What, you want to fight me one-on-one after I let you go? I could take on a hundred of you, you piece of trash."
Mocking and humiliating, Chen Daju struggled wildly in anger, feeling as if his face had been trampled underfoot and rubbed raw.
He was indignant. He could easily summon dozens of henchmen, so how could his dignity be trampled on by a mere policeman?
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
With a loud slap, another heavy blow struck Chen Daju, leaving him dizzy and seeing stars.
Qi Tongwei had had enough fun, so he wasn't in a hurry. He could take his time. Once he got to the police station, not only the bad guys, but even the good guys would have to suffer.
"I know you're the kind of bastard who loves staying up late at night and sleeping during the day. I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."
"That bastard isn't allowed to sleep tonight."
The wicked will be punished by the wicked themselves, Wu Dali was particularly excited, "Yes, Qi Zhi!"
Soon the police brought in three desk lamps, each over 100 watts long, making the interrogation room brighter than the midday sun.
"Let me out, let me out, let me out!"
Chen Daju was shouting in such pain, his eyes were brimming with tears, he must have been moved to tears by the righteous people's police.
Chenjiazhai.
Chen Wensheng rushed over that very night to discuss countermeasures with Chen Wenxiong, saying, "Brother, if we let that bastard Qi Tongwei keep going like this, how are we supposed to make money?"
Chen Wenxiong took a sip of tea, appearing quite calm. "How much does Chen Daju actually know about your affairs?"
Chen Wensheng threatened, "Brother, don't worry about that. If Chen Daju dares to say anything out of line, I'll make sure his wife and children meet their maker first."
Chen Wenxiong said sternly, "Fifth Brother, Chen Daju's life or death is not important, nor is the life or death of his wife and children. What's important is that he can't drag you down with him. Do you understand?"
"Brother, Chen Daju is only in charge of the nightclub; he doesn't know the source of the drugs, and he wouldn't dare betray me."
The person in charge of drug production was Chen Wensheng's absolute confidant; only a handful of people knew that he was the notorious drug lord, Fifth Master.
Chen Wenxiong pondered for a moment, holding his teacup. "I'll send someone to tell Chen Daju to shut up. As long as he stubbornly denies drug trafficking, he won't be sentenced to death. As long as he's alive, there's room for maneuver."
"Qing Zhonghua, the Vice Minister of Public Security, is currently stationed in eastern Guangdong specifically because of the drug problem; this is the biggest threat."
"Fifth Brother, we need to figure out a way to get the police to take down a drug trafficking ring, give them a credit, and thus get rid of this big shot, the Ministry of Public Security."
Old ginger is spicier, and Chen Wensheng learned something from Chen Wenxiong.
"Brother, I do have someone in mind."
"Tell me about it."
"No poison, no manhood," Chen Wensheng said with a ruthless grin. "Brother, the drug dealers in Hong Kong have contacted Kang Yaobei. Let's make him a scapegoat; that'll be weighty enough. We'll give him my Fifth Master identity along with him."
The two brothers were of one mind; Chen Wenxiong had long ago begun sending people to follow Kang Yaozong and Kang Yaobei, secretly plotting to one day escape unscathed.
"Then it's settled. But this drug business isn't a long-term solution; we need to get out of it as soon as possible."
"Brother, we've suffered so much recently, all because of that bastard Qi Tongwei. We can give up the drugs, but it's not time yet. That bastard must die too."
Chen Wenxiong did have this in mind when he didn't immediately ask Chen Wensheng to give up the drug business; of course, the highly profitable business was just too tempting.
"Fifth brother, once this crisis is resolved, it's time to give up. Remember, only those who successfully launder their money and get out of trouble are the real winners."
If it weren't for that bastard Qi Tongwei, Chen Wensheng's drug business could have lasted at least another ten years, and he wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.
"Brother, if the police crack this major drug case, it'll be a huge boon for Ye Xingguo. He might even get promoted further, and then his henchman will probably be even harder to deal with."
Chen Wenxiong had considered this matter, but if the Ministry of Public Security kept a close eye on eastern Guangdong, something big might happen.
"Since Ye Xingguo has been commended for his meritorious service, let's promote him, but to a different place."
Chen Wensheng was overjoyed. As long as Ye Xingguo left, that bastard Qi Tongwei would be no threat. Even if he was slow to run, he would still die a horrible death.
"Brother, that was a brilliant move, perfectly executed with each step linked to the next."
Chen Wenxiong was not so optimistic. The transfer of provincial-level leaders was not easy, especially since he had failed once before.
"Fifth Brother, we must always be prepared for both possibilities. We must not be blindly arrogant. That bastard Qi Tongwei was able to use a tip-off from the public to suddenly search the nightclub this time. He can use the same trick to search Yunfeng Temple. Yunfeng Temple is probably not safe anymore."
"Brother, I'll get them out of here right away."
Chen Wensheng still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the scene of that bastard Qi Tongwei searching Yunfeng Temple.
Chen Wenxiong waved his hand, "That bastard likes to do sneaky reconnaissance. Yunfeng Temple might already be under surveillance. Don't make any rash moves. Go into hiding immediately."
Chen Wensheng was a little unconvinced, "Brother, are you overreacting? That bastard is just a person, not some god."
"Fifth brother, better safe than sorry. You're doing business that could cost you your life, so you need to stay clear-headed at all times and never act impulsively."
Of course, Chen Wensheng was also afraid of problems arising at this critical juncture. After all, that bastard Qi Tongwei was indeed a bit strange; it seemed like he could run into anything, and it was never anything good.
"I understand, brother."
A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole. Chen Wenxiong instructed, "Fifth Brother, keep your men under control during this time. As far as I know, Chen Daju raped that girl named Huang Xiaolan, and this whole affair can be said to have started because of her."
Chen Wensheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent. What's wrong with being a prostitute? It's more lucrative than working as a sewing machine in a factory. If women just obediently lie down and enjoy themselves, there's no need for violent rape.
"Brother, don't worry, I'll send someone to handle it."
Chen Wenxiong waved his hand to stop him, "No need. What's done is done, let's leave it at that. Don't create any more trouble, otherwise that bastard Qi Tongwei will find something to use against us."
"Brother, if that bitch reports it to the police, Chen Daju's crime will be even more serious."
"Fifth Brother, it's just rape, not a serious crime. We can have Chen Daju's family offer more compensation to make it a small matter."
Chen Wenxiong spoke very casually, saying that crime meant nothing to someone like him, and that the victim would live in the shadow of rape for the rest of her life and then blame her for not being strong enough.
"Big brother, I'll listen to you."
The two brothers discussed it for a long time, until late at night, and prepared a large net for Kang Yaobei to use as a scapegoat.
