Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 297 Stabilizing the Situation

What is coming will eventually come. After returning to Jiangchang County, Zhang Xiaojun reported that the Huang family had been setting up a mourning hall for the past two days, and no one knew what they were doing.

Qi Tongwei said calmly: "Huang Hongfa is dead."

"Ah?" Zhang Xiaojun was slightly stunned.

"Xiaojun, do you want to take up the post?"

Zhang Xiaojun immediately understood what Qi Tongwei meant, "No, I'm not going anywhere."

Qi Tongwei looked at Zhang Xiaojun seriously and said, "I can't guarantee that the Huang family won't take extreme actions, so it's not very safe for you to stay with me."

No matter what, Huang Hongfa was arrested on Qi Tongwei's orders. It would have been fine if he had just arrested him, but he was also sent away from Jiang Chang, where he died in a foreign land. How could the other party not hate him?

Zhang Xiaojun said nonchalantly, "Leader, you dare to face difficulties head-on. We Zhang family members are not cowards. Not to mention that my father was once a soldier. He fought in wars and risked his life. If he knew that I deserted the battlefield, he would be furious."

At this moment, Qi Tongwei finally felt a little bit of recognition for Zhang Xiaojun.

The reason why Zhang Xiaojun was recruited was just to take over Zhang Chunsheng's troops.

Someone who is willing to share risks with the leader will naturally be favored by the leader.

Qi Tongwei then called Chen Xin over and said, "Chen Xin, Huang Hongfa is dead. I'm going to give you a vacation."

In terms of the degree of danger, Chen Xin is even higher than Qi Tongwei. The two of them already had a grudge against each other, and now a son died for no reason. Qi Tongwei might still be a little wary, but it is hard to say about Chen Xin.

Chen Xin's face was solemn. "No need. The battle will start soon. I'm ready."

Although Qi Tongwei didn't have the heart to dampen the other party's enthusiasm, he still stated his current position, "We can't make the first move on this matter."

Chen Xin was puzzled. "Why? We can just arrest Huang Yingxiang first. We don't even need to look for evidence against his family here in Jiangchang."

Qi Tongwei said: "This matter is not that simple. The higher-ups have their own considerations."

"What do you mean?"

"It's hard to explain this in a few words. Anyway, the Jiang family is now a legitimate business family."

Chen Xin's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are they legal?"

Chen Xin was so angry that he burst into hysterical laughter in the office. "If they were legal, there would be no illegal things in this world. Is there any justice in this world... in this world? Ah!"

Qi Tongwei also fell into deep thought, thinking about the compromise above, and muttered: "Justice? How can there be absolute justice in this world?"

Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up, propping his hands on the office desk. He stared blankly at Qi Tongwei with a sad and angry tone, "Secretary Qi, I know you come from a political and legal background and have been a police officer. You must have been full of passion in the past. I just want you to say one thing: what are you going to do with the Huang family?"

Qi Tongwei frowned, somewhat surprised by Chen Xin's overreaction. It was just three years of suppression, but why did it act as if the Huang family had some grudge against him for killing his wife and taking his child? "I understand your feelings, but when deciding something, especially a major one, you must consider everything."

Chen Xin said loudly: "No matter how much I think about it, I can't let Huang Yingxiang go from being illegal to being legal."

"Bang!" Qi Tongwei slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Don't I know! Who is Huang Yingxiang? He is just a small fry at best. If he didn't have the people behind him, not to mention one Huang family, even ten Huang families wouldn't be enough for a Public Security Bureau chief like you to arrest.

I'm asking you to stop now because it's for your own good. It's easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark!"

Qi Tongwei suppressed Chen Xin's resentment. He suddenly sat back in his seat, lowering his head in frustration.

Seeing the other party like this, Qi Tongwei walked around the desk, patted Chen Xin on the shoulder, and said in a gentle tone, "Comrade Chen Xin, you have courage and passion, which is a very good thing!

But we also have to consider our own safety. Go back and spend time with your wife and children. I'll take care of things here."

"I disagree!"

Qi Tongwei said seriously, "Comrade Chen Xin, I'm not asking for your opinion now. This is the order of the county party committee! You must go to Jingzhou tonight."

Chen Xin wanted to say something, but Zhang Xiaojun pulled Chen Xin.

Qi Tongwei continued, "Don't worry about it. I promise I will give it to you and give an explanation to the people."

...

The Huang family mansion was covered with white pickaxes and mournful music filled the clear sky.

A few months ago, Huang Yingxiang’s birthday party was crowded with guests, but now it is deserted.

People in both the official and business circles are the most well-informed.

From the collapse of the Huang family's power, to Huang Yingxiang begging for help everywhere and selling his property to save his son, to his son's death in prison, all these events tell everyone that the Huang family is about to end.

I watched him build a tall building, and watched his building collapse.

Everything happens in the blink of an eye.

Qi Tongwei brought Ma Xiaojun to pay his respects, or it cannot be said to be paying his respects, Qi Tongwei wanted to explain something.

Although the Huang family seems to be in decline, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The other party has so many stores and companies, and there are at least tens of thousands of people making a living from them.

If it collapses suddenly and these people take to the streets, Qi Tongwei will be in trouble.

In addition, he is still responsible for this matter. As a manager, he should come to express condolences, or at least do a good job on the surface.

This time, without any younger brother to inform him, Qi Tongwei went straight to the inner house.

Huang Hongfa's coffin was placed outside, and a group of monks and Taoists gathered in a circle and chanted sutras for the afterlife.

Huang Hongming came out to greet and see off the guests. When he saw Qi Tongwei coming, Huang Hongming was also startled. He wanted to open his mouth to drive him away, but he felt a little guilty.

He did not have the ability to please everyone like his three older brothers, nor did he have the fighting spirit of his younger brother Huang Hongfa. If he had not lived in this wealthy family, he might have just been a docile and good citizen.

Qi Tongwei didn't even look at the other person. He walked up to the incense on the table, lit three sticks and inserted them, then walked into the main hall.

Huang Yingxiang was sitting blankly in the main hall, facing the gate. He could clearly see the coffin outside and everyone's every move.

"Mr. Huang." Qi Tongwei called softly.

Huang Yingxiang lay motionless, like a sculpture. There are three kinds of suffering in life: losing his father in youth, losing his wife in middle age, and losing his son in old age. Huang Yingxiang experienced the latter two.

The person who usually spends the most time with him is his youngest son. Now the old man has to send his young son away. No one can understand the sorrow he feels.

Qi Tongwei sat down without being asked, looking at the wailing outside the room, and said bluntly, "Mr. Huang, I know you have hatred in your heart. You hate Chen Xin and me, but I think you should hate the real murderer who killed your son even more."

Huang Yingxiang slowly turned his head and looked at Qi Tongwei expressionlessly. His voice was a little hoarse from days of grief. "But someone told me he committed suicide."

"You should know that given your son's character, he would never commit suicide."

Huang Yingxiang turned his head away without saying anything.

Qi Tongwei continued, "I promise you that I will bring the murderer to justice. Until the truth comes out, I hope you will remain rational."

"Secretary Qi, can you guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with you or Chen Xin?"

Qi Tongwei said: "Even if I want Huang Hongfa to die, I will definitely let him face justice and let the law give him a proper outcome, rather than letting him die in such an unclear way."

Huang Yingxiang fell silent.

He couldn't see Qi Tongwei clearly, but he believed what he said in his heart. Even though he was in control of Jiangchang County, he always used upright official techniques.

He admired him for this, but Qi Tongwei could not escape responsibility for Huang Hongfa's death no matter what. If the other party had not sent Huang Hongfa to Haizhou, this would not have happened.

Having made his attitude clear, Qi Tongwei had no intention of continuing the conversation and stood up and said, "I also ask you to think carefully about whether Huang Hongfa has mastered the secrets of certain people that are making them unable to sleep or eat.

If you remember anything, I hope you can let me know."

Huang Yingxiang did not respond, but said to himself: "I plan to hold a month-long ritual for Hongfa to pray for his soul to rest in peace. This is the only thing I can do for him as a father.

Secretary Qi, I think you can understand my feelings."

Qi Tongwei looked at the other person deeply, then turned and left the Huang family mansion.
