Chapter 605 Brother Chicken
In another interrogation room, Brother Shan Ji recounted his experience with a frustrated look: "Officer, I have decided to turn over a new leaf. Qi Tongwei and I just wanted to resolve the hatred, but those men in black suddenly rushed in, and we were forced to fight back. I don't want to go back to my old life." The policeman asked while recording: "What about your brother? Why did he get involved? What activities has he been engaged in all this time?" Brother Shan Ji's heart tightened. He knew that some of his brother Shan Ji's past underworld behaviors might bring him trouble, but he still tried to defend his brother: "My brother is just worried about my safety. Although he has a hot temper, he is not a bad person by nature."
Hou Liangping used his legal knowledge and wisdom to start a difficult battle with the police. He tried to prove their innocence to the police and expose the real criminal organization behind them: "Officer, if you investigate carefully, you will find that there are many suspicious points in this conflict. Those men in black are well-equipped and well-trained. They are definitely not ordinary gangsters. Their goal is very clear, which is to create chaos and put the blame on us." Although the police took Hou Liangping's words seriously, they still could not rule out their suspicion without solid evidence.
Shan Ji Di was fidgeting in the interrogation room. His hot temper made it hard for him to bear the feeling of being restrained. "Why did you arrest me? I was protecting my brother! Those people wanted to kill us, so can I just watch?" He shouted at the police. The police looked at him calmly: "Shan Ji Di, you are suspected of participating in a violent conflict that resulted in casualties. Your behavior has violated the law. Now is not the time for you to act recklessly."
During this long interrogation, the fate of the four of them seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, which could be crushed at any time. The relationship between them has become more complicated and subtle in this dilemma. Qi Tongwei began to reflect on his behavior. He realized that he was too impulsive and blind in the pursuit of justice and helping others, and did not consider the possible consequences. Brother Shan Ji has become more determined to reform himself. He knows that only by getting rid of the shadow of the past can he truly gain a new life. Hou Liangping also realized that when dealing with complex social problems, we cannot rely solely on legal provisions, but also need to take into account human nature and emotional factors. Although Brother Shan Ji is still dissatisfied with Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping, under the persuasion of his brother, he gradually understands that only by cooperating with the police investigation can their grievances be cleared.
As the police investigation deepened, some key evidence gradually surfaced. They found clues of collusion between the mysterious criminal organization and some business tycoons, as well as their detailed plan for planning this violent conflict. It turned out that this criminal organization attempted to achieve their goal of money laundering and market monopoly by controlling business activities. The appearance of Qi Tongwei, Shan Jige and others disrupted their plan, so they set a trap to catch them all.
Based on the evidence, the police quickly launched an operation, successfully destroyed the den of this mysterious criminal organization, and arrested the main members. Qi Tongwei, Shan Jige, Hou Liangping and Shan Jidi were finally cleared of suspicion and released by the police.
The moment they walked out of the police station, the four of them felt as if they were in another world. The sun shone on them, and although it was warm, their hearts were still shrouded in a shadow. Qi Tongwei looked at Brother Shan Ji and said slowly: "This experience has made me understand that if we want to truly change our destiny, we still have a long way to go." Brother Shan Ji nodded: "Brother Qi, I will work hard. I will not let you down again, and I will not let myself fall into the quagmire of the past again." Hou Liangping looked at them and said seriously: "I hope you can remember the lesson this time and don't get involved in any illegal things in the future." Although Brother Shan Ji didn't say anything, there was less hostility in his eyes.
Walking out of the police station, the sunlight seemed to be just a scratch, unable to warm the four people's hearts. Qi Tongwei's posture was still straight, but his eyes under the shadow of the brim of his hat hid a bottomless complexity. Shan Ji's jacket was worn out, his hair was messy, but he clenched his fists, which showed his determination not to sink. Shan Ji's brother lagged behind half a step, his eyes wandering, and his past arrogance was replaced by solemnity. Hou Liangping stood straight, his police uniform was neat, and his eyes were like torches, examining the unpredictable road ahead.
Qi Tongwei knew that although he seemed to have escaped from the police station, he was actually in a more difficult situation. He and Brother Shan Ji had previously planned a "business", which was like playing with fire and the fuse had already been ignited. Those obscure account books and private meetings all became handles hanging over his head. Brother Shan Ji was determined to change, but the old debts in the underworld and the brotherhood were like spider silk, and it was not easy to get out. He has been wandering on the edge of officialdom for many years, with a complex network of contacts, but he has also made countless enemies; Brother Shan Ji has been rolling in the underworld for half his life, and he has accumulated a lot of grievances from gang disputes and turf grabs. He wanted to turn over the lucrative business of transporting "aircraft oil", but he didn't know that he had already fallen into someone else's trap. The big boss behind the scenes coveted the channels and contacts of the two and set up a series of traps. The turmoil in the police station was just an appetizer, and the sniping in the dark was fatal.
On the way back to the base, the car was dead silent. Qi Tongwei broke the silence: "Shanchi, there are too many hidden secrets behind this jet fuel deal. I have inquired and found that there are more than one force eyeing us. There are rivals in the officialdom who want to take the opportunity to overthrow me, and there are also people who want us to fall." Shanji gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Qi, I understand, but are we just going to admit defeat? My brothers are eagerly waiting for food. What will they do if I quit? There is no turning back!" The street scene outside the car window roared, like a countdown to fate. Qi Tongwei smiled bitterly: "How can I admit it? I have to find a way to get out of this mess and cut it clean without revealing any flaws."
The stronghold was filled with smoke, with maps and account books spread out on the table. Shan Ji's younger brother stammered, "Brother, how about we ask the elders of the society to mediate?" Shan Ji's elder brother spat, "Bullshit! Those old guys have long wanted to take over our territory. Going to beg them will only make us die faster." Qi Tongwei's eyes flashed, "Don't panic, we have a card in our hand. When I was running the transportation line, I left a backup plan. Several key hubs can be temporarily diverted, and the goods can be hidden for a few days to delay time. Shan Ji, you should tell your brothers and brothers, and keep the loyal ones to deal with the situation, and send the wavering ones away, so as not to be bitten back."
The plan was rolled out, but there were constant twists and turns. On the first day of the diversion of the transport route, the truck disappeared and the driver lost contact. The news was like a boulder falling into the water, causing a thousand waves. Qi Tongwei's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he kept dialing the phone. The feedback from his official connections was vague, as if someone was secretly hindering him; Brother Shan Ji led people to search the streets. The old neighborhood was undercurrent, and the hostile gangs were sneering and provoking trouble. The brothers under his command were so hot-blooded that they almost had a gun shot.
