"Don't worry, have you called the police yet?"

Tang Ping remained calm.

Li Qiang exclaimed excitedly, "The police arrived a while ago and are checking the surveillance footage. Ping, what's the use of relying on them? Damn it, they dared to smash up our internet cafe, I think we should just fight them to the end!"

"We'll talk about it when I get there."

Tang Ping said a few words and then told Zhao Wei to drive. On the way, he called Hu Xiandong again.

No one answered.

To be honest, Tang Ping doesn't really care about the business of internet cafes and audio-visual stores these days. Wan Zi Qian Hong is more important to him. Making money is one thing, but the key is that it's more convenient to entertain some friends.

It's not so bad that internet cafes and audio equipment stores were vandalized, but Wan Zi Qian Hong KTV was also vandalized.

This made Tang Ping feel a little sorry for him.

When Tang Ping arrived at the internet cafe, he saw a complete mess. The computers on the first floor were smashed to pieces, and the lights and glass doors were also huge losses.

Several police officers were taking photos and collecting evidence at the scene. Tang Ping spotted Li Xiang in the crowd.

I feel at ease.

Indeed, given the severity of the vandalism, this golden duo would definitely have to step in.

Li Xiang happened to walk over, patted Tang Ping on the shoulder, and said, "Tang Ping, this is a very serious public security case. Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this case thoroughly. However, before I start investigating, I hope you won't act rashly."

"Li Xiang, are we friends?" Tang Ping asked, looking at him.

Li Xiang asked in confusion, "Of course, why do you ask?"

“Last time my factory was set on fire, you repeatedly assured me that you would catch the arsonist, but nothing came of it. I didn’t pursue it further because of you. This time, my two internet cafes, two audio equipment stores, and a KTV have been vandalized like this. I’m going to lose at least two million,” Tang Ping said slowly.

Li Xiang looked troubled and said, "I understand how you feel, but please give me some time, okay? Tang Ping, violence is not the solution. You have to trust us police and the government."

Because there was no surveillance footage of the arson case, finding someone in such a large city as Jinghai was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"I believe it, I've always believed it."

Tang Ping listened and said with a smile, "It's precisely because I trusted you so much that I've swallowed my anger time and time again. But this time, I don't want to endure it anymore. The surveillance footage is right there; the one who wrecked my place was Ma Liang, Tiger's right-hand man from Wanshi Group. If you can arrest them now, I can continue to wait."

"This case is not that simple."

Li Xiang looked troubled when An Xin walked over, frowning, and said, "Shanshui Group just won the Old Street project and then gave it to you. This is like snatching food from the tiger's mouth. Wanshi Group does have a grudge against you, but doing this is too obvious."

"You mean, someone is deliberately stirring up conflict between us?" Tang Ping asked, frowning.

"That's about right."

“Even if someone deliberately provoked it, the fact remains that they vandalized my internet cafe and KTV. I don’t care who’s behind it all, all I know is that Wanshi Group wrecked my place. If I don’t make them pay the price, how am I supposed to do business in the future?” Tang Ping said.

Li Xiang looked troubled. In this kind of situation, Tang Ping would be at a disadvantage. He couldn't guarantee that he could catch Tiger, as he was just a small-time policeman and didn't have the authority.

At this moment, An Xin suddenly said, "Three days. Give me three days, and I will definitely find out the results and give you an explanation."

Tang Ping thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll give you face today and wait three days. If you don't get a satisfactory answer after three days, then don't blame me."

After Li Xiang and An Xin finished their investigation and collected evidence, they left with their team.

Inside the car, Li Xiang frowned deeply and said, "Ma Liang has a criminal record. He was the one who started this whole thing. Arresting him shouldn't be a problem. But are you sure you can catch Tiger in three days?"

"Why would I arrest him?" An Xin asked.

"If you don't arrest him, why did you make that promise to Tang Ping?"

An Xin glanced at him and asked, "In this matter, Wan Shi Group was just used as a pawn. Tell me, if we hadn't stopped Tang Ping tonight, and he had clashed with Wan Shi Group, who would have benefited the most?"

"who?"

Li Xiang still hadn't quite grasped the situation and asked.

"Gao Qiqiang."

An Xin shook his head and laughed, "You're still too rigid. The construction group has been running around doing nothing, do you think Gao Qiqiang will be satisfied with that? Do you know that Gao Qiqiang has a younger brother? Gao Qisheng, this guy is very shrewd, he's like a strategist for Gao Qiqiang. Last time, when that old man Ge jumped off the building in the old street, I suspected that he was the one who planned it, but unfortunately we didn't get any evidence."

Li Xiang's mind immediately clicked, and he analyzed with great interest, "You mean, the Gao brothers deliberately plotted to sow discord between Tang Ping and Wanshi Group, so they could reap the benefits?"

An Xin rolled his eyes and said, "What else? One of Hu Xiandong's underlings was smuggling flour at Wanshi Haoting. Yang Jian got the information immediately and caught him red-handed. It's not that easy. Let's go!"

Where to?

"Go find Yang Jian and demand the person back. Interrogate that kid. Remember to cooperate with me later."

How to cooperate?

"Just scare him a bit. He's just a small-time thug, how much money could anyone give him? If you scare him a little, he'll spill the beans."

An Xin smiled and started the car.

The hoodlum was named Wang Dalei. He was a waiter hired when Wan Zi Qian Hong first opened. Because he was sweet-talking and quick-witted, Hu Xiandong took him on as a henchman when he was short-handed.

It's normal for a place to be short-handed when there are countless underlings like this, who are there to keep watch over the place.

Wang Dalei's salary at Wanziqianhong KTV wasn't much. He was guaranteed a minimum of 500 yuan a month, and with the tips he received from promoting drinks and giving rewards to customers, he could easily earn over a thousand yuan a month.

But this person has one flaw: he's a gambler.

He was so blinded by gambling that he bet on everything. It's said that when he was still in vocational high school, he lost his girlfriend to someone else because of gambling, which made her so angry that she almost attacked him with a knife.

A leopard can't change its spots. Wang Dalei, who had money, recently became addicted to gambling machines. In Gao Qiqiang's electronics market, he not only lost all his money but also incurred a debt of 30,000 yuan in high-interest loans.

Thirty thousand yuan is no small sum for Wang Dalei.

If he had a girlfriend, he would have used her to pay off his debts.

At this time, Tang Xiaohu, who manages the electronics market, approached him privately and offered to waive the 30,000 yuan if he was willing to help him with something, and even gave him an additional 5,000 yuan in chips.

Wang Dalei was immediately tempted. He thought that it was just a matter of causing trouble at Wanshi Haoting and shutting it down, which was not a big deal.

Unexpectedly, after being detained by the anti-drug team for 24 hours, he was suddenly transferred to the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau.
