Chapter 607 How Shining
The scene was in chaos, the police set up a cordon, and the lights flashed. Brother Shan Ji saw Brother Shan Ji handcuffed to the side from a distance, his face full of fear. When he approached to ask, the police looked sternly: "This warehouse is registered under your name, where did these drugs come from?" Brother Shan Ji denied it flatly, knowing that he was framed. He looked around and saw a shadow peeping at him from the corner of the street, but it disappeared in a flash. He gritted his teeth and thought to himself that it must be the group of people who persuaded him to return to the underworld who set up a trap to force him to surrender.
Hou Liangping learned about this and took the initiative to intervene in the investigation. In the interrogation room, the lights were pale, and Brother Shan Ji detailed his experience. Hou Liangping pondered for a moment: "There is something fishy about the chain of evidence. I will find out, but you should not have anything to do with the old people again. It was not easy to get out this time. Don't make the same mistake again." Brother Shan Ji nodded heavily, but he was worried in his heart. The forces of the underworld are intertwined. If the mastermind behind the scenes cannot be found, the hidden dangers will be difficult to eliminate.
Qi Tongwei's child's condition had just stabilized when his work changed. The unit's performance declined and the layoff list was hanging in the air. He walked on thin ice every day and took the initiative to work overtime. He was so tired that his lumbar disc protruded, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. The family's financial burden was as heavy as a mountain. His wife was worried. The couple had many arguments over money. The warmth was gone, and only the trivial worries of firewood, rice, oil and salt remained. Qi Tongwei looked at his sick child and haggard wife, sitting alone on the balcony late at night, cigarette butts flickering, full of helplessness. His past ambitions in the officialdom were shattered, and he was left with only a miserable life.
In order to clear his suspicion, Brother Shan Ji rushed around day and night to find clues. Most of his former connections in the underworld avoided him, but occasionally a righteous person provided a few words, piecing together a vague outline - it turned out that the local gangs colluded with overseas drug trafficking groups, used the old warehouse to transport drugs, chose Brother Shan Ji as a scapegoat, and used the police to remove the obstacles to facilitate massive expansion. He informed Hou Liangping of the clues, and the police acted quickly, cracked down on drugs, arrested many people, but still missed the key leader "Poison Scorpion", who was cunning and ruthless, and disappeared without a trace despite the reward.
Shan Ji Ge's family was also in turmoil. His wife received anonymous threats and his children were followed at school. Fear enveloped the whole family. Shan Ji Ge was forced to move out of his old home and temporarily lived in a simple rental house. He slept with a kitchen knife as his pillow at night, full of resentment and determined to find the "poisonous scorpion". Finally, after squatting at the dock for many days, he found a suspicious ship and ventured into it. After a fierce fight, he recorded the evidence of the "poisonous scorpion", but he was also seriously injured and escaped desperately.
The evidence was handed over to Hou Liangping, and the police successfully rounded up the "poisonous scorpion". On the day when the court pronounced Shan Ji Ge not guilty, the sun shone through the clouds and shone on his scarred but resolute face. Qi Tongwei was in the audience, clapping with tears in his eyes. After going through twists and turns, the two brothers once again survived the heavy blow of fate.
After that, Brother Shan Ji regained his confidence in life, borrowed money to open a small restaurant, focusing on home-style flavors and operating with integrity, and his business is gradually booming. After this incident, Qi Tongwei let go of his worries, used his spare time to teach himself legal knowledge, provided free consultation to his neighbors, and became the "legal advisor" of the community.
The moment the court pronounced Shan Ji Ge not guilty, the sun shone down, as if to dispel all the past haze. Although Shan Ji Ge was exhausted and covered with scars, he straightened his spine under the caress of the warm sun, as if he was reborn. Qi Tongwei was in the audience, his hands trembled slightly as he clapped, and tears flashed in his eyes, which was the emotion of seeing the clear sky again after going through the storm.
I thought my life would be stable and smooth from then on, but I didn't expect the dark tide of fate to surge again. First, the panic of hand, foot and mouth disease quietly spread in the community. Children in the neighborhood fell ill one after another. The flow of customers in Shan Ji Ge's small restaurant dropped sharply. Parents were worried about their children's health and rarely took their children out to eat. Then, his own child was not spared. He suddenly had a high fever in the middle of the night. His little body was burning hot. The rash quickly spread to the palms and soles of his feet. The herpes in his mouth made the child cry and have difficulty swallowing. Shan Ji Ge and his wife panicked instantly. They took a taxi to the hospital in the dark with their child in their arms. The emergency room was brightly lit, crying, and full of anxious parents and weak children.
Qi Tongwei rushed to help after hearing the news, and comforted her all the way: "Don't panic, the hospital has experience, everything will be fine." But he was unsure, as his savings were already very little due to all the previous setbacks. Looking at the long line at the hospital payment office, his brows were furrowed. Brother Shan Ji stayed by the child's bed, watching the child's frowning brows in his sleep, full of self-blame, thinking that if he hadn't caused trouble, perhaps his family could have avoided these disasters. His wife silently shed tears beside him, muttering: "Why are we so unlucky? When will this day end?"
At the same time, the old shadows of the underworld have not completely disappeared. Although the "poisonous scorpion" who escaped the net hid his body, he secretly planned revenge. Dong Ge, who was once a swaying person on the edge of the underworld, was forced to join the game under the coercion and inducement of the "poisonous scorpion". He knew that Brother Shan Ji valued friendship, and approached him under the banner of "help", but in fact he was snooping around and looking for an opportunity to drag Brother Shan Ji back into the quagmire. Dong Ge often patronized the restaurant. At first, Brother Shan Ji only regarded him as a regular customer and greeted him warmly. From time to time, Dong Ge used the excuse that business was difficult, hinting that Brother Shan Ji should return to his old business to "make money quickly", but Brother Shan Ji always refused with a cold eye: "I haven't done that for a long time, don't mention it again."
One day, after the restaurant closed, Dong Ge stayed and took out a stack of money mysteriously: "Brother Ji, this is a deposit. There is a 'big deal'. After you do it, I guarantee you will have no worries for the rest of your life. You won't have to worry about your children's medical treatment or the expansion of the restaurant." Brother Shan Ji was instantly alert, his eyes were like torches: "Brother Dong, I advise you not to play with fire. There is no good ending if you get involved with the 'Poison Scorpion' gang. I don't want to get involved, and I won't." Seeing that being soft is not working, Dong Ge's face sank: "Brother Ji, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. If you don't accept it, your family will not have a good time." Brother Shan Ji's eyes were wide open, and he clenched his fists: "If you dare to touch my family, I will fight you to the death!" He immediately kicked Dong Ge out of the restaurant, but he knew in his heart that trouble was coming again.
In order to protect his family, Shan Ji decided to take the initiative. He found Hou Liangping and told him about Dong Ge's story in detail. The police quickly set up surveillance. On the other hand, when Qi Tongwei was studying law on his own, he found clues hidden in past gang-related cases. Some loopholes in laws and regulations became loopholes for underworld forces to exploit. He compiled them into a book and submitted it to Hou Liangping to help the police improve the chain of evidence and crack down on the foundation of the criminal network. Under the careful investigation of the police, they finally locked down the hiding place of the "poisonous scorpion", and a round-up operation was quietly launched.
On the night of the operation, the moon was dark and the stars were setting. Brother Shan Ji insisted on going with them, and Hou Liangping had no choice but to allow him to assist and observe from behind. The police team approached the den like a cheetah in the dark night, and the gunfire rang out as soon as the door was broken. The "Poison Scorpion" fought back stubbornly, and his minions fought to the death to protect their master. In the chaos, Brother Dong wanted to escape when he saw that the situation was not good, but was intercepted by Brother Shan Ji: "Run? You will pay for your sins!" After a fight, Brother Dong was finally subdued. The police suppressed the firepower and pressed forward step by step. The "Poison Scorpion" had no way to escape and was captured alive, and the criminal gang collapsed.
