Chapter 268 The law cannot yield to illegality.
After watching the police car drive away, Lei Gang angrily kicked the wheel, yelling, "Damn it, they can't even get a bitch out of here! A police team? A bunch of useless bastards!"
After venting his anger, Lei felt a little better. He went back to his car, took out his mobile phone, and immediately made a call to report the incident.
"Bro, those cowards in the criminal investigation team failed. That bitch is still in the hospital. Should I just take some guys and storm in and tie her up?"
On the other end of the phone was Lei Gang's cousin, Lei Lie. He followed his cousin into the underworld and was Kang Yaobei's confidant, having been with him for almost ten years.
"Gangzi, don't be impulsive, keep a close eye on them."
Yes, brother.
Inside the villa, Lei Lie hung up the phone and quickly reported the situation to Kang Yaobei.
Kang Yaobei's chest still ached faintly; the kick Qi Tongwei gave him was the greatest humiliation of his life.
"Ah Lie, give the order: don't act rashly yet. Keep a close eye on that bitch. My nephew is dead, and that bitch must be buried with him."
"yes, Sir"
Kang Yaobei called Chen Wenru directly, "Director Chen, did something happen? Did Captain Chen fail to bring the person out?"
Chen Wenru had just heard the news and was furious. She was furious and angry. That son of a bitch, Ye Xingguo is now blatantly abusing his power. Qi Tongwei was supposed to be suspended from his duties for investigation, but he was still able to participate in the operation.
"That kid rushed to the hospital and stopped the criminal investigation team from making the arrest. Ye Xingguo is the director of the Public Security Bureau; he's the one who calls the shots in the entire police station. Suspension from duty for investigation has absolutely no binding force on that kid."
Kang Yaobei slammed his fist on the sofa. "So what if he's the head of the Public Security Bureau? Is my nephew going to die in vain?"
"Director Chen, I understand. I will use my own methods to seek justice for Haitao."
Chen Wenru couldn't be happier that Kang Yaobei would send men to fight Qi Tongwei, preferably to shoot that bastard to death.
"Mr. Kang, I advise you not to act rashly. It would be better to wait a while before taking action."
"Thank you for the reminder, Director Chen. I won't lead my men straight into the provincial headquarters, but I'm determined to take that bitch's life."
Wishing you success soon.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Wenru's lips curled into a sinister smile. Kill him, kill him, the bigger the commotion Kang Yaobei causes, the better. It would be best if he dragged the entire Kang family down with him.
Not long after, Chen Zhihu pushed open the door and came in. The handcuffs were unlocked. He went to the fire department and was laughed at again.
"Auntie, I'm sorry."
"Zhihu, when facing that kid in the future, we need to use more strategy and not just resort to brute force."
Qi Tongwei, that bastard, had Ye Xingguo's imperial edict. On the surface, her nephew was indeed no match for him, so Chen Wenru didn't blame him.
"Don't worry about this matter; let the Kang family handle it themselves."
Chen Zhihu was furious, especially since that bastard Qi Tongwei had taken his gun; this was simply intolerable.
"Auntie, when will Uncle get rid of Ye Xingguo? I'm going to skin that bastard alive!"
Chen Wenru gestured for her nephew to sit down, saying, "Zhihu, political struggles aren't that simple. You can't just arrest whomever you want."
"As a man, patience is also a skill. Once the time is right, strike with lightning speed and never give your opponent any chance to turn the tables. Remember that?"
"I'll remember, Auntie."
Chen Zhihu verbally agreed, but in his heart he was already impatient. Everything had gone wrong since Qi Tongwei arrived, and this feeling was extremely unpleasant.
The conflict between the provincial and municipal bureaus over a nightclub hostess at the hospital quickly reached Ye Xingguo's ears.
"How did you know the criminal investigation team was going to arrest someone? Do you have an informant inside them?"
Qi Tongwei chuckled, holding the phone. "Director Ye, you're joking. I just got lucky."
"What's wrong with you? You're starting to act modest now. Don't think you did everything right today. Explain to me what you mean by saying that the people's police are the lackeys of the rich."
Damn it, that son of a bitch Chen Zhihu is a gossipy bastard.
Qi Tongwei quickly put on a smiling face: "Director Ye, don't listen to people's nonsense. I've always been spreading positive energy to the people, keeping the Party's mission in mind, and never forgetting my original aspiration."
"Don't try to talk big in front of me. Put your hand on your heart and tell me, you've never even thought that way."
Qi Tongwei looked aggrieved. "Director Ye, I'm innocent! I'm not the kind of hypocrite who eats the food of the country and then curses it. I love my country just because I'm eating the country's food."
"But the criminal investigation team's actions today were truly disheartening, and it's hard not to have some doubts. My main concern is their disappointment and frustration."
Ye Xingguo knew perfectly well that the criminal police team's arrest of that nightclub hostess was definitely on the orders of the Kang family. Such collusion between power and money was a disaster for ordinary people, making it difficult to seek justice.
"Your concerns are valid. The people's police are here to serve the people, and this principle and original aspiration will never change. No matter what, you must protect the victims."
The law must never yield to illegality.
With Ye Xingguo's words, Qi Tongwei was confident that he could protect Hua Mudan, even if it meant burying the entire Kang family.
"Director Ye, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. I want to give Hua Mudan a new identity and send her to Hong Kong."
Ye Xingguo grew anxious, "What are you trying to do, kid? You're a people's police officer, how can you back down? Protecting the people is our responsibility!"
"Director Ye, don't worry, I'm not scared. Hua Mudan is just an ordinary person, and the police can't protect her 24/7. Kang Yaozong lost his son, he will never let this go. Don't worry, I have connections in Hong Kong."
Ye Xingguo considered it for a moment. Ideals and reality are different. Whether he admits it or not, without the protection of the police, it would be as easy for Kang Yaozong to crush Hua Mudan as to crush an ant.
"Alright, I promise you, kid, I'll get this over with as soon as possible."
"Yes, Director Ye."
Hua Mudan needed to be hospitalized for observation for another night, so Qi Tongwei sent Wu Dali to guard her and also increased the protection efforts.
At night, Lei Gang, in a black sedan outside the hospital, dialed Lei Lie's number on his mobile phone.
"Bro, those damn cops have got more men. Should we make our move tonight?"
"Don't act rashly, keep a close eye on them, and make sure you don't lose them."
Lei Gang had a fiery temper. "Bro, what's the point of all this dawdling? If you ask me, let's just rush in and take down that bitch and the cop together."
Lei Lie warned, "Gangzi, use your brain, will you? This isn't a gang fight. Do you have more guns than the police? Do you have more men than the police? Listen carefully, you must not take any action without my orders, understand?"
"Understood, bro."
Lei Gang was very indignant. So what if they were police officers? Chen Zhihu was just like them, indulging in drinking, gambling, and whoring every day. They just didn't have the police uniform.
Inside the villa, Kang Yaozong and Kang Yaobei were both present. Lei Lie reported:
"Brother, Mr. Kang, the police have increased their manpower again. It might be difficult to make a move tonight."
Kang Yaobei, puffing on a cigar and sporting a slicked-back hairstyle, was seething with anger. "What are you afraid of? Damn it, the police are just bored and have nothing better to do. Does a nightclub hostess deserve so much protection?"
Kang Yaozong is a successful businessman who has always weighed the pros and cons. The provincial government has already signaled its intention to protect Hua Mudan, so there's no need for him to stubbornly seek death.
"Bring all the brothers back. Leave a few men to keep an eye on things. I don't believe the police will waste their energy protecting a nightclub hostess forever."
Kang Yaobei suddenly stood up, clenching his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Brother, since the police are all at the hospital, let's send someone to the Tianhe Hotel to take care of that bastard."
