Chapter 354 Might versus Might
Damn it, they're pretty quick.
Qi Tongwei stood up and bumped into Chen Wenjie and Chen Wenbo as soon as he stepped out of the interrogation room. Chen Shunjun was also there to persuade him. He felt a little sorry for Chen Shunjun. It was really cruel to be caught between one's clan and justice.
If he becomes a high-ranking official in the future, and when he returns to the village, all the aunts, uncles, and grandmas ask him for help, such as arranging for the illiterate son of this family to join the public security brigade or for the daughter of this family with poor grades to get into a teachers' college, I really don't know if he can maintain his original aspirations like Chen Shunjun.
Of course, there's also the stray dog in the village. The old father wants to make it a government-employed police dog. Should he do it or not?
Chen Wenjie had a gloomy face and exuded the domineering aura of a superior. If this were in his previous life, Qi Tongwei would have been trembling with fear and would have knelt down to kowtow to him.
After all, in his previous life he had only met the village chief, and had never even met the township head. If he were to suddenly meet the mayor, he would definitely become mute immediately, only able to kowtow and not be able to say a word.
Now that he has been given a second chance at life, he has tasted the power of power, a taste that is wonderful and unmatched by anything else.
Chen Wenjie stopped in his tracks. After all, he was a mayor and couldn't lose face. He suppressed his burning anger. Behind him, Chen Wenbo's eyes were filled with the urge to tear Qi Tongwei to pieces. Daring to seize their precious sister was an unforgivable crime.
"Where is Director Chen? Take me there immediately."
Chen Wenjie's words carried an unquestionable command. The current Qi Tongwei was no longer the Ninja Turtle who served his boss like a slave in his previous life. He had the Director of the Public Security Bureau behind him. So what if he was just a mayor?
"Mayor Chen, the case is still in the confidential investigation stage. You cannot see Deputy Director Chen for the time being. She was caught red-handed for group drug use and group sex, and the evidence is conclusive."
How dare he talk back to the mayor of a provincial capital? He must have no intention of staying in this business. Before Chen Wenjie could even speak, Chen Wenbo immediately flew into a rage.
"Qi Tongwei, the procuratorate is now involved in this case. You have no right to refuse. Lead the way immediately."
Qi Tongwei stood motionless, while Chen Wenbo brought people from the procuratorate, showing he was well-prepared and determined to win.
"Chief Prosecutor Chen, this is still in the police station's investigation and evidence collection phase. Once the investigation is complete, the case will naturally be transferred to the prosecutor's office. You don't need to rush, otherwise it will give people the impression that the prosecutor's office is covering up the crime."
Chen Wenbo strode forward, his fists clenched tightly, his face contorted with rage that seemed to ignite the air around him.
"Qi Tongwei, even if we want to investigate Director Chen, our procuratorate has the right to intervene beforehand. The police station not only has to cooperate, but also accepts supervision. Do you even understand the rules?"
The procuratorate does indeed have such great power, but when it comes to cases involving ordinary people, the public security organs, procuratorates, and courts habitually stand together, making it impossible to get involved.
Lan Ying thought that if she had justice in her heart, she would be fearless, but she couldn't help but feel a little hesitant in the face of the power and pressure emanating from the mayor and the chief prosecutor. She couldn't help but feel a little worried for Qi Tongwei.
Wu Dali stood there dumbfounded, his mind completely blank. How much courage did it take to offend a mayor and a chief prosecutor?
Chen Shunjun didn't dare to say anything, since it was in accordance with regulations for the procuratorate to intervene in the case in advance.
Qi Tongwei was also a little guilty, but as a man, how could he say no?
"Chief Prosecutor Chen, everyone knows what your relationship with Chen Wenru is. Do you even understand the principle of recusal for relatives?"
The prosecutors were terrified. This kid was too audacious. He was clearly disrespecting the mayor and the chief prosecutor. Was he planning to fight to the bitter end?
Chen Wenbo understood the principle of avoiding family members, but this was Tianhe City, and no rules could restrict him. Rules were only used to restrict ordinary people who had no power or influence.
"Qi Tongwei, you refuse to accept the supervision of the procuratorate. I have every reason to suspect that you are deliberately framing Director Chen."
People can laugh when they're speechless. Qi Tongwei never expected Chen Wenbo to use such a lame excuse. He was holding high-definition photos of Chen Wenru engaging in group drug use and group sex. If these photos were released and made the news, it would definitely make his two older brothers vomit a liter of blood.
"Chief Prosecutor Chen, I fully understand your desire to protect your sister. Please remember, this is the provincial department. You, a mere municipal procuratorate, should not come here to humiliate yourself."
Upon hearing this, the prosecutors present gasped in shock. This kid was too arrogant; he was incredibly stubborn and had completely abandoned all pretense of civility.
Chen Wenbo suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and quickly clutched it. He, a dignified municipal prosecutor, had been publicly humiliated, ignored, and insulted.
Seeing Qi Tongwei's tough stance, Lan Ying's confidence soared again. She realized that only the strong can stand against the strong.
Wu Dali almost clapped and cheered. Qi Zhi was indeed his idol; what he said was so domineering.
Chen Shunjun looked embarrassed. At this moment, anything he said would be wrong, so he remained silent.
Chen Wenjie couldn't stand it anymore. He thought that once he arrived, Qi Tongwei, that bastard, would back down. He never expected that this bastard would be so ungrateful.
"Qi Tongwei, does even I, as the mayor, have no right to see my sister?"
Such a powerful aura! Qi Tongwei truly felt the anger of this high-ranking leader. Every word he uttered seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds, making it hard to breathe, and even capable of crushing a person.
Now that things have come to this, Qi Tongwei has no way out but to defend the fairness and justice in his heart with a determination not to be afraid of powerful forces.
"Mayor Chen, as the head of the city, you bear the heavy responsibility of supporting the lives of over ten million Tianhe City residents. I hope you will not abuse the power given to you by the people to influence judicial fairness."
Chen Wenjie was not about to be morally blackmailed by the people of Tianhe City. He was the mayor, but he was also an older brother. No matter what mistakes his sister had made, he had an obligation to smooth things over for her. Besides, he needed to see his sister in order to make plans for the next step.
"Qi Tongwei, listen carefully. Chen Wenru is the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. I have the right to know what happened when a deputy director is suddenly arrested. She is also a citizen of Tianhe City. I order you to open the interrogation room immediately."
If the mayor gets angry, the whole city will probably tremble.
The prosecutors present believed that no matter how tough Qi Tongwei was, if he really angered a big shot like the mayor, he would definitely suffer the consequences; the difference in power levels was an insurmountable mountain.
Lan Ying and Wu Dali unconsciously began to worry about Qi Tongwei. After all, he was the mayor, a big shot in the entire eastern Guangdong province.
At this moment, Qi Tongwei was forced to the edge of a cliff, but as the saying goes, a man cannot say that he is incapable.
“Mayor Chen, I have made myself very clear. Deputy Director Chen was leading his subordinates in drug use and group sex. I received a tip from the public and arrested them on the spot. There was absolutely no violation of regulations. Even if you are the mayor, you cannot violate the police station's investigative procedures.”
