Chapter 601 Too much violence
A gang leader with a face full of flesh and fierce eyes said viciously. Around him, a group of equally ruthless subordinates nodded one after another, with ferocious lights flashing in their eyes.
They first spread rumors in the underworld, claiming that the reconciliation between Qi Tongwei and Brother Shan Ji was a complete conspiracy to use Qi Tongwei's power to seek greater benefits in both the black and white worlds. These rumors spread quickly in the underworld, causing panic among all parties and causing deep suspicion of the motives of Qi Tongwei and Brother Shan Ji.
Then, they began to secretly attack Qi Tongwei's family and friends. Anonymous threatening letters, harassing calls at midnight, and even deliberate provocations on the streets plunged Qi Tongwei's life into endless fear and chaos. Liang Lu was already exhausted because of Qi Tongwei and Brother Shan Ji's affairs, and now she was frightened by these sudden dangers, and her complaints and accusations against Qi Tongwei became more intense.
"Qi Tongwei, look at what you have done! Not only have you put yourself in danger, but you have also implicated our entire family! I shouldn't have asked you to meddle in that Shan Ji brother's business!" Liang Lu cried during a fierce argument. Qi Tongwei looked at his wife's horrified face, feeling guilty and helpless. He knew that he had to solve these problems as soon as possible, otherwise he would lose everything.
In prison, Brother Shan Ji also encountered unprecedented difficulties. The prison bullies who were bribed by the underworld began to make things difficult for him. Beating him up was commonplace, and they even tried to create accidents in prison to make him disappear quietly. Although Brother Shan Ji had experienced countless life and death tests in the underworld, he felt deeply powerless in the face of these secret conspiracies and intrigues within these four high walls.
"Is there really no way out for me? Am I destined to be swallowed by this darkness and never be able to get rid of the shadow of the past?" Brother Shan Ji pondered alone in the corner of the cell, with a hint of despair in his eyes. But he quickly cheered up again. He knew that he could not give up. There were too many people waiting for him, and Qi Tongwei was also working hard for him outside. He had to persevere.
While trying to comfort his family, Qi Tongwei accelerated the pace of organizing materials and evidence. He knew that only by making the truth public could he completely shatter those rumors and clear himself and Brother Shan Ji's name. He began to actively contact the media and held a press conference under strict security measures.
At the press conference, Qi Tongwei solemnly showed the public the records of his meeting with Brother Shan, the documents of their discussion on the rehabilitation plan, and the letter in which Brother Shan actively studied legal knowledge in prison and expressed regret. He explained the motives of his actions in detail, emphasizing that as a public official, he has the responsibility to help those who are willing to reform themselves reintegrate into society and reduce social instability.
"I know that my behavior may have caused some misunderstandings and doubts, but I have a clear conscience. I believe that as long as we give others a chance, society will become a better place. I am willing to accept supervision from the public and higher authorities, and I hope everyone can give Brother Shan Ji a chance to reform." Qi Tongwei's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the meeting hall.
However, the gangsters did not give up. Seeing that the rumors were temporarily suppressed by Qi Tongwei's press conference, they decided to take more radical measures. They planned a large-scale violent incident, attempting to create chaos in the city center, and then put the blame on Shan Ji Ge's men to further discredit Qi Tongwei and Shan Ji Ge.
Fortunately, the police received intelligence in advance and quickly took action. After a thrilling pursuit and fierce battle, the police successfully thwarted the conspiracy of the gangsters and arrested all their main members. This incident became a turning point for the whole incident. The public began to gradually believe Qi Tongwei's statement and their attitude towards Brother Shan Ji also changed.
After Shan Ji Ge learned the news in prison, hope was rekindled in his heart. He knew that he was one step closer to freedom and a new life. Qi Tongwei finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had temporarily won the battle against the dark forces.
But they also know that this is only a temporary calm. The road ahead is still full of challenges and uncertainties. Qi Tongwei needs to repair his image in the officialdom and family, while Brother Shan Ji needs to truly reform himself after being released from prison and stay away from the disputes in the past. They all understand that only after going through this ordeal can they truly grow, truly control their own destiny, and find their own piece of peace in this complex and changing world.
As time went by, Shan Ji Ge behaved well in prison and actively participated in various reform activities. His sentence was also reduced because of his outstanding performance. Finally, on a sunny day, Shan Ji Ge walked out of the prison gate.
Qi Tongwei came to greet him in person, and the two smiled at each other, their eyes full of emotion. They knew that from this moment on, they would truly start a new life, no longer bound by the grievances and darkness of the past. Brother Shan Ji looked at the sky outside, took a deep breath, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must cherish this hard-won freedom and prove his change with his own actions.
Shan Ji thought that the moment he stepped out of the prison gate, the past haze would be gone and he and Qi Tongwei would be able to start a new life. However, the gears of fate turned mercilessly again.
Hou Liangping, who was watching everything silently, had a different idea in his mind. He was already suspicious of Qi Tongwei's actions, and the appearance of Brother Shan Ji made him feel that there were many complex conflicts of interest and potential crises hidden in it. Perhaps out of excessive obsession with so-called justice, or perhaps because he wanted to uncover the truth he believed in, Hou Liangping decided to add fuel to the fire in this seemingly calm situation and deliberately provoke the relationship between Qi Tongwei and Brother Shan Ji.
Just as Qi Tongwei and Brother Shan Ji exchanged greetings and prepared to embark on a new journey, an uninvited guest appeared like a ghost. Brother Shan Ji, a character known for his ferocity and brutality in the underworld, rushed over like an enraged beast. His eyes were red and bloodshot, and his eyes seemed to be burning with endless hatred. Without saying a word, Brother Shan Ji rushed directly towards Qi Tongwei, swinging his fists and raining down like raindrops. Qi Tongwei was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground in an instant, his face full of astonishment and confusion.
