Chapter 119 Take care, my friend
"Mayor Cao is right. We don't mean to condemn all our comrades. The Discipline Inspection Commission must investigate carefully. We can't wrong a good comrade, nor can we let a bad comrade go unpunished."
Secretary Zhu's words sounded somewhat reassuring, but the leaders present could all tell that if the Discipline Inspection Commission conducted a thorough investigation, the matter of those more than one hundred cadres would not be as simple as just soliciting prostitutes.
"I heard that a criminal investigation team leader in the city bureau handles matters in a crude and simplistic way. Last night, he even ordered some officers to forcibly take photos with prostitutes. Doesn't this kind of handling violate the spirit of the rule of law?"
Cao Jinliang didn't care about anything else; all he wanted was to get Qi Tongwei away.
Shen Zhenhua was surprised; when did Qi Tongwei offend Vice Mayor Cao?
Secretary Zhu laughed heartily, "I've heard about it too. That kid was seconded from Handong by the Municipal Bureau. He's a criminal investigation expert, but his methods are a bit too extreme. I think Han Weiping should give him a good talking-to."
The leaders present weren't fools; that kid was someone you, Secretary Zhu, tacitly approved of.
Cao Jinliang couldn't say anything more. The top leader insisted on protecting him, so what could he do? Saying too much would only arouse suspicion.
The meeting ultimately reached a decision to seriously deal with those more than one hundred cadres, and the Discipline Inspection Commission was about to get busy.
Secretary Zhu was in a great mood and immediately called Han Weiping after the meeting.
"Director Han, you did a great job. You dealt with over a hundred officials who violated laws and regulations. I'm going to give you a major commendation."
Han Weiping was filled with trepidation. Having gained the approval of the top leader, further advancement in his career was not a dream.
"Secretary Zhu, this is all I should do."
"Tell that kid to tone it down. Vice Mayor Cao specifically criticized him by name at the Standing Committee meeting today."
Judging from Secretary Zhu's tone, Han Weiping felt relieved that he wasn't about to be reprimanded.
"Okay, Director Han, I will definitely give him a good scolding."
On the rooftop of the municipal bureau, Qi Tongwei was on the phone with Ye Xuan on his mobile phone when he heard the loud roar of an airplane.
"Reporter Ye, where are you flying off to?"
Ye Xuan watched as a plane slowly took off. "Qi Tongwei, I'm going abroad to study."
Qi Tongwei was taken aback and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Why am I studying abroad now? Because of me."
Ye Xuan gave a wry smile, "Qi Tongwei, stop flattering yourself. What's wrong with learning advanced knowledge from abroad and broadening my horizons?"
Qi Tongwei vaguely sensed that it was related to him. Ye Xuan was able to send him into the special task force and protect him all the way. Even if he was stupid, he would understand that Ye Xuan's family was rich and powerful and extraordinary.
That's why he only talks about it casually at most. Qi Tongwei doesn't want to admit his identity, but it is something that definitely exists.
When will Reporter Ye be back?
"I can come back whenever I want, Qi Tongwei. Once this case is finished, you should leave Shanghai as soon as possible."
This is Ye Xuan's advice; the Ye family won't protect him forever.
"How long until your flight takes off? I'll come see you off now."
Men, you know, always have that bad habit of being fickle.
Ye Xuan paused for a moment, then said, "No need, Qi Tongwei. I'm about to board the plane. Take care, my friend."
"Friends," is how Ye Xuan summarized the relationship between the two.
Qi Tongwei was sad for a second, then accepted the fact.
Take care, my friend, and have a safe journey.
Ye Xuan hung up the phone, put on her sunglasses, and gracefully boarded the plane.
Life is so long, and at some point you will meet an unforgettable person who can bring you happiness, but not forever.
Qi Tongwei laughed too. "I've been given a second chance at life. How can I be so sentimental and weak-willed?"
Tang Guozhong found him and reported, "Team Leader Qi, we've retrieved the customs declaration form from Tailong Shipping Company."
Qi Tongwei immediately returned to combat mode.
"Old Tang, gather a few more people and find the top ten companies listed on Tailong Shipping's customs declaration form, and make sure they specify what goods are being imported."
"Captain Qi, you suspect that one of the companies involved in the smuggling is among them."
"It should be correct. Let's have the comrades work a little harder and get it sorted out as quickly as possible."
"Yes, Captain Qi."
Tang Guozhong noticed that Qi Tongwei seemed particularly excited. Could it be because he was pleased with himself for arresting so many officials for soliciting prostitutes?
"By the way, how is the lady who was hit by the car?"
"She has a broken leg, but the other injuries are minor. She'll need to stay in bed for at least a month before she can get up. She's a pitiful woman; her husband died, and her daughter is in high school. The two of them depend on each other for survival, and she supports her daughter by selling pancakes."
Poor people, there is no shortage of poor people in this world.
"Old Tang, go check on him when you have time. If Deputy Chief Cai doesn't pay the medical expenses, I'll go to his door and confront him."
"No need. Mr. Huang sent someone to visit that woman and said he would cover all medical expenses and provide a one-time compensation of 3000 yuan for lost wages."
Qi Tongwei was surprised. "President Huang's enthusiasm is probably due to Deputy Director Cai's instructions to avoid any unforeseen complications."
Tang Guozhong also felt that this was very likely, otherwise he would never have been so willing to pay compensation for medical expenses.
"You suspect that there's some shady deal between General Manager Huang and Deputy Director Cai?"
"Never mind them for now, let's get to work."
"it is good"
Tang Guozhong and his team worked until 11 p.m. and finished most of the work. Qi Tongwei drove out and bought several family buckets from KFC.
"Comrades, you've worked hard. Have something to eat and take a rest."
The sight of a family bucket of food on the table made everyone's mouths water.
"Thank you, Captain Qi."
"Thank you, Captain Qi."
Qi Tongwei's lavish spending also won over some people's hearts.
"Captain Qi, Tian Xiaobing was bragging to me that you took him to the Peace Hotel for dinner."
Qi Tongwei, brimming with confidence, declared, "Once this case is solved, I'll treat everyone to a meal at the Peace Hotel."
"Captain Qi, you're even better at bragging than Tian Xiaobing!"
Qi Tongwei pulled a wad of cash from his bag and said, "I keep my word, everyone work hard!"
Upon seeing such a large stack of money, the comrades immediately believed it.
"Team Leader Qi, I will definitely do my best."
"Me too"
After eating, we continued working until 3 a.m. when we finally finished organizing everything.
"Captain Qi, take a look."
Qi Tongwei took the document from Tang Guozhong and read it carefully several times. The third-ranked Kaihui Trading caught his attention.
Because the goods that Cathay Trade handles customs declarations are mostly low-value items, the tariffs are very low.
He had seen the materials on the biggest smuggling case. The smuggling gang declared low-value goods. Customs would determine in advance which container to inspect, and the smuggling gang would directly replace the high-value vegetable oil, cigarettes, refined oil, and cars in the container with the low-value goods at the customs yard. The high-value items would then be taken away directly. Since they had already bribed customs, it was just a formality.
"Old Tang, I suspect there's something wrong with this Kaihui Trading company. I'll have the Industry and Commerce Bureau investigate them tomorrow."
"Alright, can everyone go home for the day?"
"Let everyone go home now, and please be careful on your way home."
"Alright, Captain Qi, you should go back and get some rest too."
Qi Tongwei returned to the Peace Hotel at four o'clock, and without even taking a shower, he collapsed onto the bed.
