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

Chapter 247 Power Smooths Everything

"Brother, when can we get rid of Ye Xingguo?"

Chen Wenru's patience was nearing its limit; if Qi Tongwei, this thorn in her side, wasn't removed soon, she would be on the verge of exuding pus.

"Little sister, Ye Xingguo is a provincial party committee cadre, how could it be so fast?"

Having been in officialdom for so many years, Chen Wenjie has found that the higher he rises, the more intense the power struggles become. It's not as simple as just casually transferring a lowly policeman to guard a reservoir.

Chen Wenru couldn't swallow this insult. "Brother, are we just going to let this go like this?"

Chen Wenbo comforted her, "Little sister, don't get too excited. Haste makes waste. Ye Xingguo isn't without backing. If there weren't any mistakes, how could a police chief be so easily manipulated?"

Chen Wenxiong is already working on it, but it won't happen that quickly. "Fifth Brother, what are your thoughts?"

Old Wu, Chen Wensheng, is also here tonight. The fortune teller said that he would suffer a bloody disaster within three months, so he has been staying at the temple recently.

"Brother, in my opinion, we should take care of that kid quickly. He's just flesh and blood; he can't possibly stop a bullet."

"Fifth Brother, are you preparing to emerge from seclusion?"

Chen Wenru was very excited. She and Chen Wensheng were both ruthless and vicious; they believed that dealing with the person who raised the problem was better than solving the problem itself.

"no"

Chen Wenxiong immediately stopped him, saying, "If we kill that kid, Ye Xingguo will be even less likely to escape."

Chen Wensheng lit a cigar. "Brother, to put it bluntly, you're getting a bit old."

Chen Wenjie angrily rebuked, "Fifth Brother, what nonsense are you spouting? Apologize to your elder brother right now!"

Chen Wensheng was arrogant. "Third Brother, I don't understand or want to understand those intricate ways of officialdom, but I know that kid is declaring war on Chen Family Village, and he must die."

Chen Wenjie stood up angrily, shouting, "Fifth Brother, don't think you can get away with what you've done. If it weren't for Big Brother, you would have been arrested long ago!"

Chen Wenbo quickly advised, "Third Brother, don't be angry, don't be angry. Don't take it to heart. He's always been like that, quick-tempered and impulsive."

Chen Wenjie got angry, but Chen Wenxiong remained calm, and the atmosphere in the room immediately quieted down.

Chen Wensheng realized he had said the wrong thing. "Big brother, third brother, I'm sorry, I acted impulsively."

"Third Brother, don't be angry. We all understand that only those with power can smooth things over. Fifth Brother was just consumed by anger from chanting Buddhist scriptures."

Chen Wenru quickly tried to smooth things over. Of course, she understood the power of authority. So what if Qiu Jinkun was a gang leader? He was still as obedient as a dog in front of her.

Chen Wenxiong picked up his teacup, took a sip, and gestured for Chen Wenjie to sit down. "We are brothers and sisters born of the same mother. We should always stand united against a common enemy and never let our harmony be damaged."

"That kid is nothing to fear. The important thing is Ye Xingguo. If a person wants to remain invincible in his life, he must learn to assess the situation and act accordingly."

"Fifth Brother, some of the things you're doing now, once someone catches you red-handed, will lead to your utter ruin. In the power struggle, no one can save you."

Over the years, Chen Wensheng has made a lot of money through his ruthlessness, and he thought it was all due to his own abilities. Little did he know that power was protecting him.

"Brother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this once."

Chen Wenxiong smiled and said, "We're all family. There's no question of anyone forgiving anyone else; it's just about helping each other."

"Thank you, brother."

Having learned his lesson, Chen Wensheng seems to need to listen more to the old monk's explanations of Buddhist teachings on self-cultivation.

Three years ago, perhaps he had done too many immoral things and had been plagued by nightmares ever since. The customs in eastern Guangdong are mostly Buddhist, so he directly invested in building a temple called Yunfeng Temple. Strangely enough, he really stopped having nightmares after that.

Chen Wenxiong poured Chen Wenjie a cup of tea. "Third brother, don't be angry anymore. In your opinion, will Ye Xingguo launch a crackdown on organized crime?"

Chen Wenjie held his elder brother in high regard and respected him greatly. "Brother," he said, "the provincial party committee meetings have consistently emphasized economic development. Tianhe City is also an important coastal city for opening up and attracting foreign investment. Launching a crackdown on organized crime at this time will only make foreign businesses worry, and it will be counterproductive."

Chen Wenxiong has always been studying national policies. If he hadn't left the business world and continued in politics, he would at least be a provincial party committee cadre now.

"That's good. So, what do you think will happen to that guy who arrested over thirty government officials?"

Chen Wenjie took a sip of tea. "If I were Ye Xingguo, I would have handled it quietly. There's no need to offend so many people."

Chen Wenru retorted, "Third Brother, I don't think so. Given that kid's personality, he's even willing to raid homes; those people won't be released so easily."

Chen Wenbo agreed, "Little sister is right. That kid is a living devil now. If we release him, wouldn't we be making a fool of ourselves?"

Chen Wenxiong also took a sip of tea. He was curious to see how Qi Tongwei would handle the situation. "We'll know tomorrow. Let's just wait and see."

The Chen siblings are the backbone of Chenjia Village, controlling the entire Tianhe City both openly and covertly. In fact, eliminating Chenjia Village is simple: just eliminate the Chen siblings. Once the collusion of power and interests is gone, the thousands of people in Chenjia Village are nothing but a disorganized mess, easily defeated.

Qi Tongwei worked through the night, and after dawn, he drove straight back to the hotel and slept. "Damn it, this is my own body, they really treat me like a beast of burden."

I don't want to be a beast of burden, and nobody can force me to be one. I'll just lie down and be done with it.

Provincial Department.

Around 1 p.m., Qi Tongwei arrived at the office and looked at the Guangdong Daily. The news of the underground casino being raided was indeed reported, on the front page. It seemed that Ye Xingguo was indeed quite capable.

He then looked at the Tianhe Metropolitan Daily and was surprised to find that it had also been reported. The reporter, Li Hanbing, used sharp and passionate language, and seemed to be a person with a strong sense of justice.

Chen Shunjun pushed the door open and came in. "Chief Qi, as you instructed, all the government leaders who were arrested have been released."

Qi Tongwei asked with a wicked grin, "Were they very surprised? Did they kneel down and express their gratitude?"

Chen Shunjun was speechless. Those people were very surprised, but they were definitely cursing in their hearts, maybe even cursing your ancestors for eighteen generations.

"Qi Zhi, you must be joking."

Qi Tongwei stood up. "Chief Chen, I'm going to the detention center right away to interrogate Wu Yong. The interrogation of those people from the casino is your responsibility."

"Yes, Qizhi."

After making the arrangements, Qi Tongwei took Lan Ying and Wu Dali to the detention center.

In the meeting room, Wu Yong was completely exhausted, as if all his energy had been drained, and he looked at least ten years older.

He couldn't withstand the police team's memory recovery technique and confessed to having a relationship with Bai Jie. The police team told him that Bai Jie died of cardiac arrest due to a drug overdose, which was an accidental death. Even if he confessed, he wouldn't get a sentence of more than a few years. He couldn't take it anymore and had to give a statement as guided by the police team.

The case has now reached the prosecution stage. Even if it is a wrongful conviction, the criminal police will try their best to cover up the truth. If the case has been adjudicated in the first instance, even if the public security, procuratorate and judiciary know they are wrong, it will be extremely difficult to overturn the verdict because everyone is afraid of taking responsibility. In particular, in criminal cases, the public security, procuratorate and judiciary are completely in the same boat, sharing both glory and loss.
