I really don't want to be an official if I transmigrate into Qi Tongwei's life.

Chapter 365 A Little Kindness from Me Will Be Returned Tenfold

As soon as Director Dai Chunsheng arrived, the surrounding area immediately quieted down, and the police officers who had been watching quickly made way.

"Is this all so exciting? Do they all not have jobs?"

The chief spoke, and the onlookers fled faster than rabbits, feeling more upset than if they were being scratched by a cat. It's the worst thing to get halfway through a piece of gossip.

Having to give his superior face, Qi Tongwei immediately saluted. "Director Dai, Wan Hongda's case needs to be reinvestigated, and we need the cooperation of the Criminal Investigation Team. Please provide your support."

Dai Chunsheng now looked at Qi Tongwei, this young man transferred from another place, with a newfound respect. He dared to openly oppose Chenjiazhai and repeatedly gained the upper hand; he was indeed a formidable young man.

Chen Daman quickly saluted as well, "Director Dai, the provincial department is really bullying us! They're treating the criminal investigation team like criminals!"

Dai Chunsheng really didn't want to get involved in these messy affairs, but Ye Xingguo had told him to stand firm until the very end, so he had no choice but to get dragged into it.

"Wan Hongda's case was discussed at a provincial party committee meeting. The criminal investigation team shouldn't feel wronged. The provincial department's handling of cases is supervised by the provincial procuratorate. You shouldn't have too much resistance. We're all colleagues. Once the investigation is clear, there won't be any problems."

Upon hearing this, the criminal investigation team immediately deflated. If even the city bureau chief wasn't on their side, wouldn't they become fish on the chopping block of the provincial department, at the mercy of others?

"Director Dai, the criminal investigation team has been working very hard every day lately. Even if we need to cooperate with the investigation, can the provincial department come over?"

Chen Daman certainly couldn't admit defeat so quickly. He had to speak nicely and make sure every word was for the benefit of the criminal investigation team. That way, his prestige within the team would naturally be established.

"Director Dai, I hope the investigation will proceed according to standard procedures to avoid excessive interference. Please understand."

Qi Tongwei immediately refused. Damn it, if he gave in a little, the other party would definitely take advantage of him. Besides, investigating the criminal investigation team of the Municipal Bureau would be pointless and unnecessary.

Chen Daman was unwilling to back down either. "Qi Tongwei, what do you mean? Why can't the provincial department come to the municipal bureau to investigate?"

"Chen Daman, do you think you're treating the provincial department's investigation order like a fart? I advise you to get this straight, this isn't a discussion with you."

Qi Tongwei's attitude was tough. "Damn it, just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover."

Chen Daman retorted just as forcefully, "Qi Tongwei, you need to understand one thing: this is the Municipal Public Security Bureau, not a place where you call the shots."

That's enough.

Dai Chunsheng roared. He was about to retire, but this bureau chief was not a mascot, much less a puppet.

"The criminal investigation team must follow orders and cooperate fully with the provincial department's investigation. Don't try to argue with me anymore."

"Director Dai, this isn't fair."

Chen Daman still wanted to make a last-ditch effort. If he got to the provincial department, Wan Hongda's case might be overturned, and if that happened, many people in the criminal investigation team would be punished.

Dai Chunsheng, his face dark with anger—he hadn't been angry in a long time—said, "Listen up, everyone in the criminal investigation team! This is my order. Anyone who dares to disobey will be severely punished."

Upon hearing this, Chen Daman, despite his overwhelming anger, had no choice but to back down. He was merely an acting team leader, and now that Chen Wenru had been arrested, he was left to fend for himself.

"Thank you for your support, Director Dai."

Qi Tongwei gave Dai Chunsheng another friendly salute, then glanced at everyone in the criminal investigation team. "Let's go, Chen Daman, you set a good example."

Chen Daman was furious. "Qi Tongwei, what do you mean? I'm new here. Wan Hongda's case has nothing to do with me!"

Qi Tongwei won't give him any face now. Damn it, if you treat me with respect, I'll repay you tenfold.

Whether it's related to you or not, an investigation will tell.

Chen Daman immediately flew into a rage, "Qi Tongwei, you're clearly using this to settle a personal score!"

After a long exchange of words, Qi Tongwei's mouth was dry. He rushed over, grabbed Chen Daman's arm, pulled him forward forcefully, hooked his foot, and cleanly and neatly pinned Chen Daman to the ground and handcuffed him behind his back.

"Qi Tongwei, you fucking assaulted a police officer! I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

Qi Tongwei grabbed Chen Daman and dragged him to his feet. "Stop talking nonsense, I don't have time to play with you."

Chen Daman struggled desperately, utterly humiliated. "Qi Tongwei, you fucking let me go, let me go!"

Qi Tongwei shoved Chen Daman into the hands of two policemen from the provincial department, his face contorted with rage. "Take him away immediately!"

"Yes, Qizhi."

When working on cases under Qi Tongwei's guidance, those from the provincial department are clearly superior, and they no longer need to be subservient to the municipal bureau.

"Let me go, let me go..."

Chen Daman shouted and struggled all the way, but it was no use. Dai Chunsheng tacitly approved of Qi Tongwei's actions. Since the provincial department had issued an investigation order, he would strictly follow it and wouldn't make a mistake.

When the criminal investigation team saw their captain being arrested, they all clenched their fists, wanting to fight back, but none of them wanted to be the first to do so. After all, attacking a superior and disobeying orders would certainly mean being the first to receive the most severe punishment.

Qi Tongwei glanced at the criminal investigation team members again. "What are you all standing there for? Let's go. Do I have to invite you one by one?"

Old Li quickly put on a smiling face, "Chief Qi, we're all colleagues, please don't let this ruin our relationship. We'll leave right away."

The criminal investigation team despised Lao Li's spineless behavior, but they had no choice but to go along with it.

In fact, Lao Li is very savvy about human relationships, but he is unwilling to go along with them and do things that go against his conscience.

After all that trouble, Qi Tongwei still managed to bring the criminal investigation team back to the provincial department for investigation, which was probably the first time in the entire history of eastern Guangdong.

Back at the provincial headquarters, Wu Dali rushed to report, "Chief Qi, I'm sorry, we didn't catch Cao Wenxuan. He must be deliberately hiding."

Damn, they moved pretty fast. They ran away as soon as they heard the first sign of trouble. Cao Wenxuan is such a coward. He's probably gone to Chenjia Village to figure out what to do.

"Then send people to continue the search, and bring them back as soon as they're found."

"Yes, Qizhi."

Chenjiazhai.

As expected, the reinvestigation of Wan Hongda's case was launched, and Chenjiazhai received the news immediately. Chen Wenxiong called Cao Wenxuan over with a single phone call.

Chen Wenxiong appeared calm on the surface, washing cups and handling tea leaves, his actions almost identical to usual. But inside, his mind was in turmoil. His sister's arrest, with photographic evidence, directly confirmed the charges of group drug use and group promiscuity, instantly diminishing his influence within the police station.

Now that Wan Hongda's case is being reinvestigated, Fuxing Herbal Tea's listing plan has to be postponed again, and things might end in disaster. It feels like when it rains, it pours. He thinks he should pray to all sorts of deities, in case that bastard Qi Tongwei suddenly dies.

Sitting opposite Chen Wenxiong, Cao Wenxuan, an intellectual, felt a chill run down his spine, like a schoolboy who had made a mistake. He knew how formidable his brother-in-law was; he was a man who had connections in both the legal and illegal worlds, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the underground organization minister of Tianhe City.

"Brother, Wenru has trouble sleeping. She absolutely can't go to jail. You have to think of something."
