Chapter 252 We can also be patriotic!
In the police interrogation room, the lights were dim and dazzling, making everything in the room look slightly distorted. Big D sat on the interrogation chair, his hands were handcuffed, but he still sat arrogantly, his eyes revealing unruly and stubbornness, as if this was not a police station, but his territory.
Fang Xinwu and Gao Qiqiang walked into the interrogation room. Fang Xinwu held a thick file in his hand. He gently placed the file on the table with a dull sound, and then slowly sat down opposite Big D. Gao Qiqiang stood aside, with his arms folded across his chest and a serious expression.
Fang Xinwu looked directly into Big D's eyes and said, "Big D, do you know why you are sitting here?" Big D raised his lips with a disdainful smile, "Humph, you policemen just want to make trouble for me. I am a gangster and I have always been honest in my work. What can you do to me?" Fang Xinwu shook his head slightly, "Honest? Do you think what you and Liansheng did can be considered honest? Drug trafficking, smuggling, and collecting protection fees, which one is not illegal?" Big D's face changed slightly, but he still argued, "This is the rule of the underworld, the strong prey on the weak, and everyone relies on their ability."
Fang Xinwu flipped open the file, took out a few photos, and threw them on the table: "Then look at these. Because of your drug dealing, so many families have been broken up and so many young people have fallen into the abyss. Is this what you call ability?" Big D glanced at the photos, and a hint of imperceptible panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "What does this have to do with me? I'm just doing my business."
Fang Xinwu stood up and paced slowly: "Big D, stop deceiving yourself. The police now have a lot of evidence about He Liansheng. This operation is to completely eradicate the evil forces in Hong Kong Island. Do you think you can still get away with it like before?" Big D remained silent. He knew in his heart that what Fang Xinwu said was not a lie, but it was really hard for him to accept bowing to the police.
At the same time, in another interrogation room, Jimi Zai was also facing interrogation by the police. He sat on a chair with a slightly nervous expression, but still tried to stay calm. The police interrogating him asked seriously: "Jimi Zai, you have a close relationship with Big D, you should know a lot about him. Now tell us everything you know, it will be good for you." Jimi Zai raised his head, looked at the police and said: "Big D and I are just ordinary friends, I don't know about his illegal activities." The police sneered: "Ordinary friends? You are working with Liansheng, do you think we will believe it?"
Jimizi frowned and said, "I was just trying to make a living with Liansheng. I have never been involved in anything bad." The police continued to ask, "Why are you always with Da D? You were present at many of his transactions. Do you dare to say that you knew nothing?" Jimizi's palms began to sweat. He knew that he could not give Da D away, but he didn't know how to deal with the police's interrogation. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I just followed him to socialize. I really didn't know that those were illegal transactions."
Seeing that Jimizi refused to tell the truth, the police took out a document and said, "Jimizi, here are some clues we found. Take a look. If you don't tell us now, you won't have a chance when we find out everything." Jimizi took the document and was shocked when he saw the contents. He didn't expect the police to have so much information, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "None of this can prove that I'm guilty."
In Big D's interrogation room, Fang Xinwu saw that Big D remained silent, so he changed his tone: "Big D, you have to know that cooperation is your best choice now. If you cooperate with the police, we can provide you with protection, and we can also give you a lighter sentence. You don't want to spend the rest of your life in prison, do you?" Big D finally couldn't help but explode: "Lighter sentence? If I cooperate with you, my reputation in the underworld will be ruined. We rely on loyalty with Liansheng, and I can't do such a treacherous thing."
Fang Xinwu sat back in his chair and said patiently: "Big D, your so-called loyalty is based on breaking the law. Do you think such loyalty can last? The current situation has changed, you have to consider your future." Big D sneered: "I don't need you to teach me how to do it. I have been in this world for so long, I have seen all kinds of storms and waves."
Fang Xinwu and Gao Qiqiang looked at each other. They knew that it would be difficult for Da D to change his mind in a short time. At this time, Fang Xinwu received instructions from Qi Tongwei to take Da D to Sham Shui Po. Fang Xinwu looked at Da D and said, "Da D, think about it first. We are going to take you to a place now." Da D felt uneasy: "Where are you taking me?" Fang Xinwu did not answer, but signaled the police to take Da D out of the interrogation room.
Jimmy heard the noise outside in the interrogation room and became more and more anxious. He didn't know where the police were going to take Da D. He was worried about Da D's safety and that he would get into a more complicated situation. He tried to stand up, but was stopped by the police: "You'd better be honest and don't cause trouble for yourself." Jimmy sat back in his chair helplessly, silently praying that things wouldn't get worse.
Under police escort, Da D and Jimmy were driven to a suburb of Sham Shui Po with a nervous mood. Along the way, both of them were filled with fear and doubt. They looked at the street scene that was constantly receding outside the car window, and all kinds of terrible thoughts emerged in their minds. In their opinion, being taken to such a remote place was very likely to be secretly executed. After all, they had made many enemies in the underworld, and now they were deeply under the control of the police.
The vehicle drove on the winding road and finally drove slowly into the suburbs. The surroundings were a desolate scene with weeds and several abandoned factories in the distance. The ruins looked particularly gloomy under the dim sunlight. Big D's palms were full of sweat. Although he was usually domineering in the underworld, he couldn't help but feel a chill when facing the unknown fate. Jimmy was pale and his eyes were full of anxiety. He looked at Big D from time to time, as if he was looking for a little comfort from him. However, Big D couldn't protect himself, so what could he give him?
When they were brought to a seemingly peaceful lake, a figure appeared in their sight. The man was dressed in a neat suit, with an upright posture and extraordinary temperament, and exuded a majesty that could not be ignored. Qi Tongwei! This name was well-known in their hearts. He had created brilliant achievements in the police world, whether it was arresting Gao Qiqiang, cracking Lin Yaodong's huge drug trafficking network, punishing Gao Mingyuan, sealing up Haizhou Pharmaceutical, and even going abroad to investigate the case and cracking down on the Triangle District, and returning to Jinjiang to defeat Li Zhitian. Every deed was like a legend, widely circulated in the underworld and the police world. In their eyes, Qi Tongwei was simply a god-like existence, an insurmountable symbol of authority.
The moment Big D saw Qi Tongwei, his arrogance disappeared without a trace. His lips trembled slightly, and his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't even say a word. His usual arrogance and unruliness had long disappeared, replaced by deep awe and fear. Jimmy was even more fascinated. He stared at Qi Tongwei with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. This person who was out of reach in his mind was now standing in front of them.
Qi Tongwei raised his head slightly, looked at Da D and Jimmy, and smiled faintly, but there was something elusive in that smile. "Now that you're here, don't just stand there. Come fishing with me." His voice was calm and gentle, but it had an unquestionable power.
When Big D heard the word "fishing", his heart suddenly tightened. He remembered the time Brother Le plotted against him while fishing, which almost killed him. That horrible experience haunted him like a nightmare, and when he heard the word "fishing" again, his legs went weak. "Qi... Officer Qi, what... what are you doing?" Big D finally managed to squeeze out these words, his voice trembling.
Qi Tongwei seemed to see through Da D's thoughts. He smiled and said, "It's just fishing and chatting. Don't be nervous." As he spoke, he picked up a fishing rod, skillfully put on the bait, and threw the fishing line into the lake. The calm lake surface was covered with ripples, and the golden light was shining under the sunlight.
Big D and Jimmy looked at each other. They didn't understand what Qi Tongwei was up to. But in this situation, they didn't dare to disobey him. They could only walk to Qi Tongwei carefully, pick up the fishing rod, and start fishing like him.
The lake was quiet, with only the occasional sound of fishing lines entering the water and the rustling of weeds in the breeze. Qi Tongwei stared at the lake intently, seeming to enjoy the quietness. However, Da D and Jimmy were on pins and needles. Their minds were not on fishing at all, and they kept wondering what Qi Tongwei was trying to do.
After a while, Qi Tongwei broke the silence: "You have been in the underworld for so long, you should know that there is no eternal peace in this world. Now that you have seen the determination of the police to crack down on evil forces, the days of He Liansheng will not be easy."
Hearing this, Big D was moved. He mustered up the courage to say, "Officer Qi, I know we have done a lot of wrong things, but I also have my own principles in He Liansheng, and I don't want to betray my trust."
Qi Tongwei turned his head slightly, looked at Big D and said, "Principles? Do you mean breaking the law and committing crimes? Do you think the things you uphold are really worth it?"
Qi Tongwei's eyes were deep and steady. He slowly said, "You may only know that I am the deputy mayor of Jingzhou City, the capital of Handong Province, but in fact, I am a person specially sent by the capital to shoulder the mission of reorganizing the officialdom of Handong. Just like the imperial envoys in ancient times, I have special powers and missions."
Big D and Jimmy heard this and couldn't help but gasp. They stared with wide eyes, their faces full of fear and awe. In their eyes, the Hong Kong police were already a powerful force that was difficult to contend with, and the man from Beijing was like a god who controlled the power of life and death. They knew that as long as Qi Tongwei gave a slight signal, the Hong Kong garrison would strike with lightning speed and wipe out the Heliansheng and even the entire Hong Kong underworld forces. For a moment, the two were silent, not even daring to breathe.
Seeing this, Qi Tongwei raised his hand slightly, signaling them to relax: "Don't be so nervous. I came to Hong Kong Island in disguise to meet you today, not to bring you to justice immediately, but with a sincere intention to win over those of you who still have patriotic feelings in your hearts."
Jimmy reacted quickly, he took over the conversation with a flattering look in his eyes: "Lord Qi, no, Mr. Qi, we have always been patriotic, but in this world, sometimes we have no choice." Big D also nodded repeatedly, fearing that he was not active enough. After all, at this critical moment, the olive branch thrown by Qi Tongwei was like their only life-saving straw.
Qi Tongwei nodded slightly and continued, "I understand your situation. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I will use the resources in my hands to reduce the punishment for the crimes you committed before, and I will give you comprehensive protection. Judging from the current situation, the police will not rush to take action against you, and you can still enjoy the glory of Hong Kong Island for a while. As long as you cooperate with these things, I will turn a blind eye. But if anyone tries to go against me, then they will bear the consequences. I can tell you clearly that within this week, He Liansheng will completely disappear from Hong Kong Island and will no longer exist."
Big D said without hesitation: "Mr. Qi, don't worry. Although I, Big D, am not well educated, I still have a strong sense of patriotism. I will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest." Compared with his previous stubbornness, his attitude took a 180-degree turn. At this moment, he was only thinking about how to grab this life-saving straw to save himself and He Liansheng.
Qi Tongwei looked at their performance with a knowing smile on his face. He knew very well that human nature would change when facing a huge crisis. Then, his expression became serious and he got to the point: "The main purpose of my visit to Hong Kong this time is to completely destroy the Zhao family and the Liang family's foundations in Hong Kong Island. The power of these two families in Hong Kong Island is intertwined. They use the foundations to secretly control many illegal activities, which seriously damages the interests of the country and the people. I need you to use your connections and resources in the underworld to search for evidence of the illegality of these two foundations, and the sooner the better. If you can succeed and make outstanding contributions, I will not only fulfill my previous promise, but also ask the superiors to strive for rewards for you, so that you have the opportunity to completely cleanse your sins and start over."
After hearing this, Da D and Jimmy began to weigh the pros and cons. They understood that this was an extremely dangerous but also full of opportunities. On the one hand, going against the Zhao and Liang families would undoubtedly be a threat. The power of these two families in Hong Kong Island should not be underestimated. Once discovered, they might suffer a catastrophic disaster. On the other hand, the power of Beijing represented by Qi Tongwei and the conditions he offered were extremely tempting. If they succeeded, they might really be able to get rid of their current predicament and move towards a new path.
Jimmy was the first to break the silence: "Mr. Qi, we are very grateful for giving us this opportunity, but the Zhao and Liang families have deep roots in Hong Kong Island. It is not easy to collect evidence about their foundation. We need some time and support."
Qi Tongwei pondered for a moment and said, "I can give you time, but not too much. As for support, I will assist you secretly and provide you with some necessary information and protection, but it mainly depends on your own operations in the underworld. You must know that this is not only for me, but also for the future of Hong Kong Island and for the interests of the country."
Big D gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Qi, we understand. We will act as soon as possible, and we will try our best to complete the task even if it costs our lives." At this moment, there was more determination in his eyes, as if he had seen the path to his future redemption.
Jimmy also nodded: "Yes, we will definitely not let you down."
