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

Chapter 275 Detention for 24 Hours

"You're really talking nonsense, kid. Stop spouting rubbish and see if you don't want to keep your job."

Ye Xingguo knew where the problem lay, but he also wanted to protect Qi Tongwei, a promising talent. If such a person could rise to a higher position, it would be beneficial to the country and the people.

Qi Tongwei quickly put on a smiling face; he couldn't afford to argue with his superior now. "Director Ye, just think of this as me venting, or maybe I've had too much to drink."

Ye Xingguo smiled; this kid seemed to have good judgment. "How do you plan to deal with those people?"

Qi Tongwei sighed, "What else can we do? Lock him up for one night and then release him."

Ye Xingguo advised, "Don't be discouraged, kid. Successfully completing something is no easy task. Don't give up on me."

"Yes, Director Ye, as long as you don't fall, I'll fight you to the end."

"You bastard, get out!"

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei chuckled. It was indeed impressive to wield such power as if it were a trivial matter.

Lan Ying hurriedly pushed open the door and came in. "Chief Qi, Director Chen from the Municipal Public Security Bureau is here. She demands that Chen Zhihu be released immediately."

"She thinks she can just let it go like that? She's dreaming! Let's see what happens."

Qi Tongwei stood up and walked out of the office, while Chen Shunjun comforted Chen Wenru in the conference room.

Chen Wenru angrily retorted, "Old Chen, what do you mean? Didn't you watch Zhihu grow up? You won't even give me this much face?"

"Director Chen, please don't be angry. I always judge people based on the facts, not the person. Once the matter is clarified, I will definitely release the person as soon as possible."

Chen Shunjun was in a dilemma. It was impossible for him to violate the rules or laws, especially since Qi Tongwei was now in charge.

Chen Wenru slammed her hand on the conference table. "Chen Shunjun, you're making excuses for such a small matter. I'm asking you, can you even make a decision on this?"

"Director Chen, you're quite the figure, almost as impressive as your nephew!"

Qi Tongwei walked in with a smile, showing absolutely no respect.

Chen Wenru suddenly stood up, her face full of anger. "Qi Tongwei, then tell me, what law did Chen Zhihu break that you want to detain him?"

"Director Chen, I never said I wanted to detain Chen Zhihu. Tonight, we raided the Empress Flower Nightclub and arrested quite a few drug users. The provincial department is short-staffed and everyone is working overtime. Once we've clarified the situation, we'll release him naturally."

Qi Tongwei shrugged, showing no sign of urgency, which made Chen Wenru feel as if she had punched a cotton ball, leaving her with a sense of humiliation at being played.

"How long are you going to investigate?"

Qi Tongwei scratched his head. "Director Chen, the police can detain a suspect for 24 hours. I'm sure you know that better than I do. Chen Zhihu will definitely be released tomorrow, but he'll probably be up all night tonight."

The idea that a bureau chief couldn't even get rid of a criminal investigation team leader is probably a fantasy; nobody would believe it.

Chen Wenru was furious. Pointing at Qi Tongwei, she said, "I'm asking you, what right do you have to detain a criminal police captain?"

Qi Tongwei straightened up and deliberately saluted Chen Wenru. "Reporting to Director Chen, Chen Zhihu, as a policeman, should maintain his integrity and not betray the uniform he wears."

"After work, he went to a nightclub to drink and flirt with girls. Is this something a police officer should do? Does Chief Chen want me to investigate further and even turn a family member into a police officer?"

There's absolutely nothing wrong with what you're saying. Within the system, everyone can get along well, but once it becomes a life-or-death struggle, you can't afford to give anyone any leverage over you.

Chen Wenru was so angry that her face turned green. She could say such things about a gangster, but now she was being rebuked and was speechless.

Qi Tongwei then laughed and said, "Director Chen, if you say that Captain Chen is working undercover at a nightclub, I might consider releasing him tonight."

This was a blatant provocation. Chen Wenru suspected that Qi Tongwei had received some information from Ye Xingguo.

"Alright, Qi Tongwei, then you can investigate at your leisure."

Chen Wenru glared at Qi Tongwei and walked out of the meeting room. This was the first time she had been turned away at the police station.

Qi Tongwei said loudly, "Director Chen, I will investigate this thoroughly. If you break the law, I won't be lenient with you."

Chen Shunjun hurriedly chased after him. Young people, they always speak so impulsively.

Lan Ying asked curiously, "Qi Zhi, aren't you really afraid of offending Chen Family Village?"

Qi Tongwei chuckled, "I'm scared. I'm scared I won't be able to destroy it."

Lan Ying seemed to see hidden anger on Qi Tongwei's smiling face. Perhaps this was his real purpose in coming here: to crack down on criminal gangs led by clans.

Chen Wenru got into the Mercedes with a menacing air, took out her mobile phone, and dialed Chen Wenxiong's number.

"Brother, that kid doesn't agree to release Zhihu. It's possible that Ye Xingguo has declared war on us. We can't let that kid investigate any further with impunity, otherwise a lot of shady business will be exposed."

Chen Wenxiong drank his tea alone, as if the entire eastern Guangdong was on his chessboard, those who obeyed could stay, and those who disobeyed could get lost.

"Little sister, you should go back and rest. I've sped things up here, and good news will be here soon."

What about Zhihu?

"He's so young, a little hardship is nothing to him."

"Okay, bro."

Chen Wenru felt furious just thinking about Qi Tongwei, and only a man could calm her down. She immediately dialed the number of Chen Haodong, the captain of the special police.

"Come to the usual spot, keep me company."

The driver frowned, remaining silent; those with power can certainly wield it arbitrarily.

Inside the villa, Qiu Jinkun sipped red wine and laughed heartily, "Ah Jin, that kid's at odds with the Kang brothers now. The fiercer their fight, the safer our deal with the Hong Kong people will be in a couple of days."

Lu Jin said confidently, "Brother, don't worry, I guarantee this deal will be a complete success."

Qiu Jinkun put down his wine glass, picked up a cigar, and said, "That kid killed Kang Yaozong's son, so it's definitely a fight to the death. What an idiot! What's so great about saving a nightclub hostess?"

"Brother, that kid's asking for it. Even the King of Hell can't save him."

Lu Jin was furious. The casino was gone, and the nightclub had been shut down. How was he supposed to support his underlings now?

Qiu Jinkun took a puff of his cigar, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "That kid's not far from death."

Provincial Department.

The next day, after Chen Zhihu sobered up, he was taken to the interrogation room.

Qi Tongwei pushed open the door, yawned, and realized that staying up late was really bad for his health.

Upon seeing Qi Tongwei, Chen Zhihu flew into a rage, yelling, "What the hell gives you the right to arrest me? Let me go right now!"

Qi Tongwei waved his hand, "Don't get excited, don't get excited. I'm saving you. I'm letting you experience what it's like to be interrogated beforehand. Maybe you'll be scared and turn back from your wrong path."

"Qi Tongwei, I'll fuck your mother! Do I need your help? You should be worried about whether you'll make it back alive. Let me go!"

After sobering up from a night of drinking, Chen Zhihu was in high spirits.

Qi Tongwei walked up to Chen Zhihu. This truth chair was so magical; anyone who sat on it looked like a bad guy.

"Chen Zhihu, don't worry, we'll release you in 24 hours. Tell me, what was it like sitting up there?"

Chen Zhihu was so angry he wanted to devour Qi Tongwei alive. This bastard was even more perverted than him. He only bullied ordinary people, but this bastard deliberately went against the rich and powerful. He was practically courting death.
