Zhao Jia Liang entered Ta Zhai shortly after.
Lin Yao Dong prepared a welcome banquet for him.
After three rounds of drinks, when everyone was chatting and laughing,
Lin Yao Dong suddenly put down his cup, pointing at Zhao Jia Liang and angrily said,
"Mr. Zhao, are you still trying to deceive me?"
"You are actually an undercover cop, aren't you?"
Zhao Jia Liang's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, wondering if he had been exposed.
But then he suddenly remembered what Qi Tong Wei had told him the night before during their last meeting.
Qi Tong Wei had reminded him that Lin Yao Dong was a suspicious man who would try every means to test him.
He had told him to stay calm and not reveal his identity.
So he suppressed his inner panic and calmly said, "Lin Zong, what are you trying to say? I came to do business with you in good faith, and you're calling me an undercover cop?"
"Are you insulting me?"
He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, quietly swallowing the universal antidote that Qi Tong Wei had given him beforehand.
The whole process went unnoticed, nobody saw his little move.
"Since you don't trust me, Lin Zong, then our deal is off. Give me my deposit back and I'm leaving!"
He stood up and made a move to leave.
But Lin Yao Dong slammed his fist on the table and said, "Do you think Ta Zhai is some kind of place you can come and go as you please?"
"Grab him! Interrogate him and make him confess!"
As soon as Lin Yao Dong finished speaking, a group of thugs rushed in from all sides.
They immediately pushed Zhao Jia Liang to the ground!
This time, Zhao Jia Liang was alone and didn't bring any bodyguards, so he was easily subdued by the thugs.
Then, Zhao Jia Liang was taken to a utility room.
He was tied to a pillar, and the thugs mercilessly beat him.
But no matter how hard they pressured him, Zhao Jia Liang refused to give in. Instead, he cursed Lin Yao Dong for being untrustworthy and trying to rob him blind.
He kept cursing until he had insulted all eighteen generations of Lin Yao Dong's ancestors. Zhao Jia Liang was covered in wounds and had no strength left.
Just then, Lin Yao Dong pushed open the door and came in.
He took an iron box from his men, inside which was a vial of liquid.
Zhao Jia Liang, his face covered in blood, glared at Lin Yao Dong and angrily shouted, "If you have the guts, kill me! Otherwise, let me go, and I promise I won't let you off the hook!"
Lin Yao Dong patted Zhao Jia Liang's cheek and coldly said, "I respect you as a tough guy."
"But no matter how tough you are, you will succumb to this hypnotic needle of mine..."
"We'll soon know your true identity..."
With that, Lin Yao Dong's eyes turned cold, and he directly injected the hypnotic drug into Zhao Jia Liang's neck!
Soon, Zhao Jia Liang began to twitch, foam at the mouth, his eyes widened, and his facial veins popped out!
Seeing that the drug was taking effect, Lin Yao Dong immediately asked, "Tell me! Are you an undercover cop!?"
Zhao Jia Liang foamed at the mouth and mumbled something.
Lin Yao Dong leaned in and listened closely.
He heard Zhao Jia Liang say coldly, "I'm your father! I'm your mother's undercover cop!"
"You tried to rob me blind after I came to do business with you!"
"You're a liar! I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"
Lin Yao Dong was not angry but instead delighted.
He straightened up, took a wet towel handed to him by his men, and wiped his hands.
Then he said, "Untie him, send Mr. Zhao back to his room to rest."
"Tomorrow I'll personally apologize to him."
With that, he turned and left.
But what Lin Yao Dong didn't notice was that the moment he turned to leave,
Zhao Jia Liang's eyes suddenly returned to their normal state.
A sneer even appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if mocking Lin Yao Dong's arrogance...
Meanwhile,
At the Dongshan Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.
An anonymous letter of complaint was sent.
The letter was passed on to Qiu Jun, the investigator in charge.
After reading it, Qiu Jun was overjoyed and immediately took the original document to find Hou Liang Ping, who was still drinking tea and chatting with their leader in the office.
When Hou Liang Ping received the letter of complaint, his face lit up with joy.
"Good! Good! Good! I've been looking for this needle in a haystack, and now it's come to me without any effort!"
"I was planning to start with Zhao Jia Liang. It would take some time to investigate a Hong Kong businessman."
"But with this letter of complaint, the finger is pointing directly at Qi Tong Wei. We can bring him back for questioning immediately!"
He then passed the letter of complaint to Qiu Jun's direct supervisor.
"Uncle Feng, take a look at this letter of complaint."
Qiu Jun's supervisor's last name was Feng, Feng Wen Ju. He was an old comrade-in-arms of Hou Liang Ping's father.
He was about to retire.
He didn't know why Hou Liang Ping was so persistent in targeting Qi Tong Wei, a rising star in the Dongshan police force.
But out of respect for Hou Liang Ping's father, if this Qi Tong Wei really had a problem, he wouldn't mind helping Hou Liang Ping out.
He thought to himself, it would be a favor for his kid before he retires.
Feng Wen Ju was thinking to himself while taking the letter of complaint.
He was taken aback when he saw the contents.
The letter of complaint listed ten major charges against Qi Tong Wei!
Including a sudden appearance of several large, unexplained deposits in his bank account.
He had several mistresses.
He had improper relations with minors.
He was colluding with drug dealers in Dongshan and acting as their protector.
He also extorted money from legitimate businessmen and so on.
The letter of complaint also included some photographs as evidence.
There were also a few complaints from young girls.
When Feng Wen Ju finished reading, he slammed his fist on his desk and said angrily,
"You rotten Qi Tong Wei, you're so young, yet you have committed all five vices!"
"Your red heart has already turned black!"
"How could our Dongshan city produce such a disgrace to the police force!"
He looked at Hou Liang Ping and said, "Little Hou, don't worry, I don't care about Qi Tong Wei's background or how many merits he has!"
"Our department will investigate this case!"
"We can't tolerate such a corrupt official! We'll get to the bottom of this!"
Hou Liang Ping immediately gave a thumbs up, "Uncle Feng is wise!"
Feng Wen Ju looked at Qiu Jun and said, "Little Qiu, go and draft a letter of assistance for investigation immediately."
"Once the director signs and seals it, take your people and bring Qi Tong Wei back for questioning!"
Hou Liang Ping quickly spoke before Qiu Jun, "Uncle Feng, I want to go with Little Qiu to apprehend Qi Tong Wei!"
Feng Wen Ju hesitated, "Little Hou, you don't need to get involved in this case, do you?"
"You are from the capital..."
Hou Liang Ping quickly said, "Uncle Feng, I provided the clues for this case. I have the right to participate in the investigation!"
"As for my identity, that's simple, I can just have the capital Disciplinary Inspection office draft a letter of collaboration and send it to Dongshan, right?"
Feng Wen Ju finally felt relieved.
This way, Hou Liang Ping's involvement in the investigation would be legitimate!
And if he could bring down Qi Tong Wei, Hou Liang Ping's resume would have another achievement to add!
But being a veteran, he still reminded him, "Little Hou, you can't just send a letter of collaboration carelessly, you must have sufficient evidence."
"If Qi Tong Wei recants later, and you are held accountable, you might also be implicated..."
There was something that Feng Wen Ju didn't say out loud.
If Hou Liang Ping was punished because of this, it would be a huge setback for his career.
There was no need to gamble his future on this single achievement.
But Hou Liang Ping was resolute, "Uncle Feng, the evidence is solid, Qi Tong Wei is a corrupt cop, what do I have to worry about!"
I'll use this case of Qi Tong Wei as a stepping stone to my advancement!
And let Zhong Xiao Ai see how wrong and foolish she was to choose Qi Tong Wei over me, Hou Liang Ping!
Hou Liang Ping thought to himself.
