Chapter 138 New Year's Gift
Du Bozhong?
Has the venomous snake returned?
Xia Qing couldn't help but become alert. He knew that these vicious international criminals were no ordinary people.
Xia Qing learned this from Jiang Yao's intelligence.
Du Bozhong's overseas operations, especially the line of smuggling officials with family members abroad, were targeted by Interpol, which, in cooperation with local police, dismantled most of them, severely damaging his business.
As a result, the foreign forces behind Du Bozhong, fearing that they would be implicated by him, directly kicked him out and cut off all support for him.
Du Bozhong is currently penniless, and his return to Handong has only one very clear purpose.
He directed all those involved in the investigation of the three officials, and subsequently destroyed his intermediary company.
revenge.
This is a venomous snake with nowhere to go, neither to heaven nor to hell.
They will only become more insane and more vicious!
Thinking of this, Xia Qing asked worriedly:
"Are you sure you have a problem? Will Du Bozhong cause you trouble?"
Jiang Yao burst out laughing:
"Don't worry! He doesn't even know me, why would he want to see me? Besides, you know my workplace, how could he get close to me? It's you who should be careful; Du Bozhong is going back to Handong, he might cause you trouble."
Xia Qing chuckled foolishly; he was so worried about his wife that he was completely flustered.
Almost forgot, Jiang Yao not only enjoys extremely high-level security measures from the National Security officers, but she is also the runner-up in the National Security skills competition and has the highest shooting score in the country.
Jiang Yao is indeed someone he doesn't need to worry about.
On the contrary, one should indeed pay attention to one's own situation.
However, Xia Qing was not flustered.
For descendants of large families, grappling, hand-to-hand combat, and firearms shooting are also part of their training from a young age.
Xia Qing was confident that if his opponents were only armed with melee weapons, he could take down ten people with his bare hands.
If it's firearms, run first.
Fortunately, gun control in Handong is extremely strict.
If all else fails, we can ask Qi Tongwei or Chen Hai for help.
Both of these individuals belong to units that are legally authorized to carry firearms.
Having made up her mind, Xia Qing comforted him over the phone:
"Don't worry, you know how capable I am. I won't be going back this year; the situation in Handong is quite complicated, and I reckon there will be some big moves around the Lunar New Year! Give my regards to Mom and Dad, and please take care of things at home!"
Jiang Yao pursed her lips and smiled:
"Okay, take care of yourself. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news! By the way, my son got into another fight with his sister recently..."
As Xia Qing listened to Jiang Yao recount her everyday stories, Jiang Yao occasionally let out a gentle laugh, which softened Xia Qing's heart.
Once this busy period is over, I should go back to see my wife and children, and spend time with my parents.
The couple, in their respective offices, expressed their longing for each other from afar...
New Year's Eve is fast approaching.
Every household was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of family reunion.
The command center of the anti-corruption bureau of the procuratorate remained steadfast in its post.
After all, on New Year's Eve, apart from the core elites, everyone else went home.
Therefore, the key personnel remaining from the four major departments of discipline inspection, auditing, public security, and procuratorate all gathered at the anti-corruption bureau's command center, working while experiencing this unique New Year's Eve.
Led by Lu Yike, the female comrades hung lanterns, pasted up the character "福" (good fortune) and Spring Festival couplets at the command center.
It gave the cold machines and workstations a touch of the New Year.
Chen Hai did not leave.
My father went to prison, my sister married far away, and my mother, feeling lonely, also went to Beijing to spend the Spring Festival with my sister this year.
Chen Hai was the only one left in Handong.
For him, his workplace was more vibrant than his empty home.
Lu Yike naturally wanted to stay with Chen Hai, since she would be nagged about blind dates anyway when she got home.
It doesn't matter where Lin Huahua and Zhou Zheng are, as long as they're together.
At this moment, Li Gangxin, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, led several police officers in from outside, carrying large and small bags.
Everyone looked and saw KFC, dumplings, glutinous rice balls, and various snacks.
"Come on, come on, let's eat our New Year's Eve dinner!"
At Li Gangxin's shout, the group of people who had been fighting hard suddenly felt a pang of hunger.
Chen Hai stepped forward and said:
"Director Li, how could I let you spend so much money..."
Li Gangxin smiled and said:
"Director Chen, what are you saying? It's nothing, I'm just treating my brothers and sisters to a New Year's Eve dinner! Come on, everyone, let's take a break!"
Everyone stepped forward, some sitting, some standing, to enjoy this unique New Year's Eve dinner.
Shanshui Manor.
Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin sat in the courtyard, drinking red wine and chatting about life.
In Qi Tongwei's heart, Gao Xiaoqin was the only woman who could enter the depths of his soul.
Rather than going home and staring blankly at Liang Lu, he preferred to turn off his phone and spend New Year's Eve with his beloved woman at the Shanshui Manor.
Seeing Qi Tongwei transform from being cautious and scheming to being confident and witty, Gao Xiaoqin didn't think the man in front of her was snobbish; she only felt sorry for him.
Qi Tongwei's past experiences, what he gave and what he lost, resonated with Gao Xiaoqin in a certain way.
Only in front of Qi Tongwei could she transform from a cunning and calculating businesswoman who navigated both political and business circles into an ordinary woman.
Now, Qi Tongwei has become the vice governor, and Shanshui Group is once again at the center of an audit and investigation.
Logically, the two shouldn't have met.
But perhaps that's part of Qi Tongwei's charm; this man is ultimately a man of loyalty and righteousness.
Although Liang Lu didn't think so.
In short, Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin chose to meet on New Year's Eve so that everyone would be home for the holiday and no one would disturb them.
Enjoy the rare tranquility and the tender night that is about to begin.
Just now.
The loud footsteps of the big leather shoes mingled with the jingling of car keys at the waist.
An uninvited guest has barged into the Mountain and Water Manor.
"Oh my, Governor Qi, General Manager Gao! What a refined taste! Let me think, what should this be called? Fine wine and beautiful women, so sweet and affectionate! Hahaha!"
Zhao Ruilong walked up to the two of them, clapped his hands and laughed, then brought over a chair and sat down by himself.
Gao Xiaoqin spoke first, her voice cold:
"Young Master Zhao, it's New Year's Eve. What brings you to my Mountain and Water Manor?"
"I'm a shareholder, can't I come? Speaking of which, the security at your Shanshui Manor is like playing with children." Zhao Ruilong snapped his fingers, and dozens of thugs appeared behind him, dragging several security guards from Shanshui Group.
The security guards from the Shanshui Group were all beaten black and blue.
"you!"
Just as Gao Xiaoqin was about to lash out, Qi Tongwei reached out and pressed her down, then said to Zhao Ruilong:
"Ruilong, don't you think it's dangerous to perform this in front of a vice governor?"
"How dare I, Governor Qi! I've come today to present you with a New Year's gift," Zhao Ruilong said in an exaggeratedly loud voice, instructing his men to step outside.
Then, Zhao Ruilong calmly placed a media player on the table and pressed the switch.
Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin stared intently at the player. The next moment, a distinct sound emanated from it:
"Inform Ding Yizhen to leave Handong immediately!"
