Chapter 181 Chen Shuting (Part )
With the evidence provided by Xu Jiang, Zhao Lidong and others had no way to deny it.
As the investigation progressed, more and more evidence surfaced and they had no choice but to admit the fact of their crime, and what awaited them was only jail time.
Although Xu Jiang's investigation took half a year, the case was not as complicated as imagined. The real troublemaker was Chen Tai.
On the surface, this old fox has nothing to do with the underworld, so it will be very difficult to find out about his illegal activities.
Of course, now is not the time to talk about Chen Tai. Now that the Xu Jiang case has been solved, it is the time for everyone to make contributions and receive rewards.
The same was true for Qi Tongwei, who reaped a lot of rewards.
The Xu Jiang case established his prestige in Jinghai City. In less than a year, his prestige far exceeded that of the former Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Zhao Lidong.
With the fall of Zhao Lidong and others, personnel work in Jinghai City has also been put on the agenda.
The most eye-catching position is of course the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. The competition is particularly fierce. Some people even used their connections to find the central government, which made Qi Tongwei understand once again that there is no such thing as "taking advantage" to become an official.
However, all their actions were in vain, as Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee had already agreed to Qi Tongwei's request. Besides, their relationship might not be stronger than Qi Tongwei's.
Qi Tongwei's appointment as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission is an extremely important step in his career. According to his father-in-law, this step must be taken well to lay a solid foundation and prepare for joining the ministry in the future.
In addition to Qi Tongwei, several of his alumni also had good opportunities. Alumni such as Tuo Xiaojun and Li Ze finally had their own opportunities.
The "Handa Gang" has just taken shape and all that's left is for it to flourish and develop.
There were also some personnel changes in the Public Security Bureau. The original political commissar retired due to age reasons. Qi Tongwei suggested that An Changlin serve as the political commissar and recommended Guo Wenjian to take over as executive deputy director.
In this way, the leadership team of the Public Security Bureau was enriched and strengthened, and Qi Tongwei's control was also enhanced.
At the same time, he reappointed the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade. An Xin, Li Xiang and Zhang Biao were promoted to captains of the Criminal Police Squadron by Qi Tongwei based on their second-class individual merits.
Among the three, he was most optimistic about Li Xiang. This guy was principled and tactful, and had the potential to be an official.
An Xin is the smartest among the three and has the best case handling skills, but his emotional intelligence is average, so his future career may not be smooth.
As for Zhang Biao, this guy is most likely to betray and his stance is not firm. However, with the lessons learned from Zhao Lidong and others this time, perhaps things will be different.
After finishing his public security personnel work, Qi Tongwei took a break for less than half a month before he started to tackle the last tough problem - Chen Tai.
As the emperor of Jinghai City and a business tycoon, Chen Tai does not seem to have any problems on the surface. However, it may not be an easy task to find out his problems.
Of course, these difficulties are only on the surface. As long as we can defeat one person, all difficulties will not be difficulties. That person is Chen Shuting.
This is the person Qi Tongwei chose to break the deadlock based on his memories from his previous life.
Many people believe that Chen Shuting is Chen Tai’s goddaughter and will not betray Chen Tai.
Qi Tongwei has a different opinion. He believes that as long as the method is right, Chen Shuting can be used by him.
Of course there was another reason. By taking down Xu Jiang, he could also indirectly avenge Bai Jiangbo.
Regardless of whether Chen Shuting and Bai Jiangbo have feelings for each other, they are husband and wife after all, and they also gave birth to Bai Xiaochen together. It may be arbitrary to say that they have no feelings for each other at all.
Even Xu Jiang knows how to develop informants within the Public Security Bureau, and Chen Tai, the old fox, is probably even better.
For this purpose of investigating Chen Tai, only Qi Tongwei, Li Xiang and An Xin knew about it. Even Guo Wenjian and An Changlin were unaware.
It's not that I don't trust them, but I want to be safer.
In his previous life, he had investigated and found out that Chen Shuting was Gao Qiqiang's wife. In this life, he planned to continue to be the matchmaker and bring the two of them together. Of course, he would not go down the path of Gao Qiqiang's involvement in organized crime.
Chen Shuting has a tall figure, a curvy figure, big wavy hair, and fiery red lips, full of temptation.
If it weren't for his inappropriate identity, Qi Tongwei really wanted to be a Cao thief, but now Gao Qiqiang has to take advantage of it.
Looking at the man sitting on the front of the car, Chen Shuting frowned slightly, and a trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes, but she still tried to remain calm and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"
As he said this, he looked at Liu Hu with hatred. He had trusted him so much, but he didn't expect that he was a traitor. He sent him and his son to school, but when he came back, he drove the car directly into an empty field.
Qi Tongwei smiled slightly and said calmly: "Don't be nervous, Ms. Chen. I have no ill intentions, but there are some things I need to discuss with you."
After saying that, he turned to look at the man next to him and ordered: "Liu Hu, please step aside for a moment. I want to talk to Ms. Chen alone."
"Okay, Secretary Qi." Liu Hu nodded respectfully, then turned and left.
"Secretary Qi!" After hearing Liu Hu's address, Chen Shuting secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she still had doubts, at least for now, her personal safety should not be a problem.
She calmed herself down and re-examined the man in front of her who called himself "Secretary Qi".
"Secretary Qi? Are you a government official? Then... why did you bring me here?" Chen Shuting asked in confusion.
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "Ms. Chen, don't worry. I'm not here to cause you trouble. Strictly speaking, I'm here to save you."
After hearing this, Chen Shuting couldn't help but feel surprised and confused, not knowing what Qi Tongwei meant.
She stared at Qi Tongwei. The man in front of her was elegant yet tough. He didn't seem like a person who talked nonsense. But she really couldn't figure out why she was in danger and needed him to save her.
Qi Tongwei looked at Chen Shuting and said, “If I guess correctly, Chen Tai is trying to persuade you to remarry and promise you that he will hand over all the underworld matters to your new husband, including the business you are running now.
Are you very grateful to your godfather?"
Despite her doubts, Chen Shuting still nodded, confirming that what Qi Tongwei said was correct.
"Do you know why your husband Bai Jiangbo was killed by Xu Jiang?
Don't worry, Xu Jiang is done, I don't have any recording equipment, you can speak boldly." Qi Tongwei said.
"Who are you?" Chen Shuting had now adapted to the environment. She put aside her worries and began to guess why Qi Tongwei was looking for her.
"My name is Qi Tongwei, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of Jinghai City and Director of the Public Security Bureau." Qi Tongwei said indifferently, as if his identity was not worth mentioning.
Chen Shuting originally thought that Qi Tongwei was just an official of a slightly higher status, but she didn't expect that he was the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Director of the Public Security Bureau. She couldn't help but gasp.
After knowing Qi Tongwei's identity, Chen Shuting felt a little more nervous, but she still answered Qi Tongwei's questions.
"Because Xu Lei owed gambling debts, Bai Jiangbo hired the Tang brothers to collect the debts. Xu Lei died accidentally from electrofishing. Xu Jiang hated Jiang Bo for this and then killed him."
Qi Tongwei shook his head. "You only described the surface phenomenon. In fact, they all died because of Chen Tai's calculations."
Seeing Chen Shuting's puzzled expression, Qi Tongwei continued to explain: "In order to dominate the underground world of Jinghai City, Chen Tai supported Bai Jiangbo to fight against Xu Jiang. Under his instigation, the two families have always been at odds with each other and often fought to the death.
It was precisely because of the feud between the two families that your husband took revenge on Xu Lei, which led to Xu Jiang's revenge murder.
In the final analysis, the hidden dangers of life and death of the two families had been buried long ago. Even if Xu Lei had not happened, the incident would have happened anyway. It was just a matter of sooner or later.
The current situation is actually quite good. If it continues to develop, who knows if it might be your relatives who get into trouble! "
Chen Shuting thought for a moment and said, "No, since godfather wants to unify the underground world of Jinghai, why would he..."
Qi Tongwei added to Chen Shuting's meaning, "Why would you hand over the underworld power to your future husband?"
Chen Shuting nodded, confirming that what Qi Tongwei said was what she wanted to say.
