Chapter 32 Zhao Ruilong's Revenge: The "Scapegoat" from the Municipal Party Committee
The parking lot of Shanshui Manor.
Qi Tongwei opened the car door and got in.
He did not start the car immediately.
He took the miniature pinhole recorder out of his pocket.
Playback.
On the screen, Zhao Ruilong's face, distorted with anger, was clearly visible.
"Qi Tongwei, you just wait!"
"In Handong, no one dares to refuse me, Zhao Ruilong!"
The arrogant roar sounded particularly jarring in the quiet carriage.
Qi Tongwei's face was expressionless.
He stored the video, along with the incriminating evidence he had previously found in the "Golden Splendor" safe, on an encrypted USB drive.
This was the first "gift" he prepared for Zhao Ruilong, Gao Yuliang, and the entire corruption network in Handong.
He started the car; the black Audi silently merged into the city's traffic.
He knew that from the moment he stepped out of the Shanshui Manor, he and Zhao Ruilong were locked in a life-or-death struggle.
Zhao Ruilong's revenge will come faster and be more insidious than he imagines.
……
The next day, at the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.
As soon as Qi Tongwei entered the office, Chen Hai greeted him with a solemn expression.
"Tongwei, something's happened."
He handed a document to Qi Tongwei.
It was an urgent letter from the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.
The content of the file is very simple.
The city's Public Security Bureau was ordered to solve the equity dispute case of "Dafeng Factory" within three days.
Furthermore, it was specifically requested that Comrade Qi Tongwei personally lead the task force as its leader.
"Dafeng Factory?"
Qi Tongwei's brows furrowed slightly.
He was certainly familiar with this name.
In the previous life, it was this state-owned enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy that triggered a massive earthquake in the entire Handong officialdom due to the intricate equity disputes behind it.
This is a bottomless pool of muddy water.
It involves the Shanshui Group, Gao Yuliang, and even higher-level figures.
Whoever touches it dies.
And now, a single official document from the municipal party committee has so casually tossed this hot potato into his hands.
"This was Zhao Ruilong's doing."
Chen Hai's voice was very low.
"The Shanshui Group has long coveted the land at Dafeng Factory, but has been unable to acquire it."
"Now, they want to use you to forcibly clear the site and arrest all the workers who are protecting the factory."
"If you make the arrest, you will offend thousands of workers and the people behind them, and become their vicious dog."
"If you don't arrest them, it's considered ineffective handling of the case, blatant disobedience. They can use this as a pretext to remove you from your position!"
This is a dead end move.
No matter what choice Qi Tongwei makes, he will be plunged into an abyss of no return.
"What a Zhao Ruilong."
A cold glint flashed in Qi Tongwei's eyes.
"This retaliation came really fast."
He looked at the supervisory letter, and a faint smile, unreadable to others, slowly curved his lips.
They thought this was a scapegoat thrown at them.
Little did they know that in Qi Tongwei's eyes, this was precisely a sharp knife delivered to their doorstep!
A scalpel powerful enough to dissect the Shanshui Group and the entire corrupt body of Handong!
"Pass the word down."
Qi Tongwei's voice was calm yet powerful.
"Establish the '11.30' Dafeng Factory Project Team."
"I will personally serve as the team leader."
Chen Hai was shocked.
"Tongwei, are you crazy? This is a trap!"
"I know."
Qi Tongwei patted him on the shoulder.
"But sometimes, the more of a trap there is, the more beautiful the scenery becomes."
He offered no further explanation and walked straight into the conference room.
The task force's first meeting was held soon afterward.
In addition to Chen Hai, the attendees included heads of several core departments such as criminal investigation and economic investigation.
After the "Golden Splendor" incident, these people's attitude towards Qi Tongwei changed from contempt to deep awe.
But when they learned that the factory to be investigated was "Dafeng Factory".
Everyone's face showed distress and fear.
"Director Qi, this case... is far too complicated."
The head of the Economic Crime Investigation Division, a retired police officer, spoke cautiously.
"We've been in contact with them before. People from the Shanshui Group... at the city and provincial levels have spoken to us, telling us not to investigate further."
"Yes, Director Qi, those factory workers are very agitated. If we don't handle it properly, it could easily trigger a mass incident, and then we'll be in big trouble."
The meeting room was filled with sighs and lamentations.
Everyone treated this case like a den of dragons and tigers, avoiding it at all costs.
Qi Tongwei listened quietly without interrupting them.
He only spoke slowly after everyone had finished speaking.
I am aware of everyone's concerns.
His gaze swept across each person's face.
"However, I will only ask you one question."
"What are those badges on our heads for?"
"Is it for bowing and scraping before the powerful and wealthy, and having to read their faces?"
"Or is it used to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people and uphold social fairness and justice?"
His voice, though not loud, was like a series of heavy hammer blows, striking everyone's heart.
The meeting room was completely silent.
Those veteran police officers who had just been complaining all lowered their heads, their faces burning with embarrassment.
"I'll take this case."
Qi Tongwei stood up, his voice resolute.
"From now on, I will be in full charge of the task force."
"I don't care if he's backed by the Shanshui Group or Jinshan Yinshan."
"If he breaks the law, not even the Emperor himself can protect him!"
"I said it."
That indomitable aura, forged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, instantly filled the entire conference room.
A long-dormant flame was rekindled in everyone's heart.
Just then.
The cold system notification sounded again in Qi Tongwei's mind.
[Ding! A god-tier option has been triggered!]
Faced with a "scapegoat" from the highest levels of power, what would you choose?
Option 1: Outwardly comply but inwardly resist, and passively slack off. Delay the case, wait for an opportunity, and protect yourself.
[Reward: None.]
[Punishment: Dignity -100. Gain the negative status 'Heart of Fear' (will experience a tendency to back down when handling cases involving high-ranking officials).]
Option Two: Turn the tables and strike first! Use "Dafeng Factory" as a weapon to completely expose the corruption in Handong, bringing all the culprits to light!
[Reward: Dignity Points +400. Gain special skill - [Photographic Memory (Limited to Legal Case Files)]!]
[Risk: Extremely High! You will completely break ties with Zhao Ruilong, Gao Yuliang, and others, becoming a thorn in their side!]
A cold smile curled at the corners of Qi Tongwei's lips.
Do we even need to choose?
"I choose option two."
Looking at his subordinates, whose fighting spirit he had rekindled, he issued his first order.
"Chen Hai, take some men immediately and bring back Cai Chenggong, the legal representative of Dafeng Factory."
"Remember, it's 'please'."
"I want to talk to him in person."
