Cui Yong and his henchmen were all taken into custody by the public security and armed forces departments. Just when everything seemed to be settling down, another group of people arrived at the compound.
Ye Weiwei glanced at the fat, chubby man with a large head and ears, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.
It's finally here!
I thought we wouldn't be able to resolve this problem in one go today.
The greedy nature of this committee leader was so disproportionate to her audacity that it almost ruined her plans.
"Wait! What's going on?"
Lai Xueming was panting heavily when he arrived because he had walked so fast.
He stood in front of the police and armed forces personnel, his face as black as soot.
A little over an hour ago, one of his men who was sent to arrest Ye Weiwei ran back to report that Cui Yong and the others were being stopped by Ye Weiwei outside the Qin family's gate and not allowed to enter. Ye Weiwei said that they did not have any documents or a search warrant and would not let them in to search. People in the military compound were also helping Ye Weiwei to obstruct their arrest.
He ran back to get the search warrant and arrest documents.
Lai Xueming was surprised that Cui Yong, with so many men, couldn't even capture a young woman. He cursed and wrote a document and search warrant. Just as he finished and handed it to his men, another subordinate rushed back in a panic, saying that something had happened.
Upon questioning, it was discovered that Cui Yong had fired a shot at Ye Weiwei, but not only did he fail to injure her, Ye Weiwei also disarmed him. Cui Yong had resorted to both gun and knife, but he gained nothing and ended up with his limbs crippled by Ye Weiwei.
Lai Xueming gritted his teeth in anger: "Outrageous! This is outrageous! Ye Weiwei is truly audacious! She actually dared to injure people from our various committees, she has the audacity to do something like that!"
He kicked one of his men impatiently. "What are you all standing there for? Call the police! Let the police arrest her! Let's see how Ye Weiwei can act now!"
The subordinate, who had been kicked, dared not cry out in pain. He said aggrievedly, "Ye Weiwei fired the shot right in front of the police! Not only in front of the police, but also in front of the armed forces!"
Upon hearing that people from the Public Security Bureau and the Armed Forces Department had gone, Lai Xueming's heart sank, and he quickly asked, "Who are they?"
"Director Zhao and the Minister of the Armed Forces Department are both here!"
Enraged, Lai Xueming grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it on his subordinate's head. "You bastards! Didn't I tell you to be careful and not cause any trouble? How come even the leaders of the Public Security Bureau and the Armed Forces Department have been alerted?"
The subordinate, whose forehead was covered in blood from being hit, didn't dare wipe it away and cautiously said, "It's all because of that Ye Weiwei! That woman is a madwoman! She doesn't give our committees any face at all! She even called us all bandits, saying our committees are a den of bandits..."
"Shut up!" Lai Xueming slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Outrageous! Outrageous!"
The subordinates dared not speak, shrinking back in fear and not daring to raise their heads.
"Director, should I still go and deliver this document?"
The first subordinate to return was filled with unease upon hearing that the police and armed forces had gone, and asked cautiously.
In the past, the members of their various committees had always acted arrogantly in Kyoto, and people from any department had to give them a wide berth.
Especially Cui Yong, who is this man's brother-in-law. He has been a big shot in Beijing for years. Who would dare not give him face?
Now that even Cui Yong has been dismissed, these small fry who dare to show their faces at this time are just targets and punching bags.
Despite his glamorous life following Cui Yongfeng all these years, he's actually quite insecure inside.
After all, if you've done too many bad things, you're bound to have a guilty conscience!
"What are you sending?!" Lai Xueming gritted his teeth in anger. "The Qin family really is at odds with all our committees! Those two bastards, Qin Zhenshan and Qin Zhenyue, are trying to use me as a pawn to kill someone else!"
Unfortunately, when he heard the two men say that the Qin family's secret treasure trove contained many treasures and that he could get half of it if the matter was settled, he was tempted. He forgot that Qin Zhenyuan, that old man, had become very popular with his superiors after that incident and was now quite powerful!
Seeing Lai Xueming's hesitant expression, his subordinates dared not urge him, hoping that Lai Xueming could forget about him.
Lai Xueming thought about it for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying angrily, "Hmph! Since the Qin family is so ungrateful and dares to oppose our committees, then let's break up completely and no one will get away with it!"
In short, Cui Yong absolutely cannot be taken away by those people surnamed Zhao. Over the years, he has relied on Cui Yong to handle many things. If Cui Yong can't hold back and says something, he'll be in big trouble!
So when Lai Xueming arrived and saw that Cui Yong and the others were about to be taken away, he immediately became anxious.
"Director Zhao, Minister Lin, where are you two taking my people?"
When Lai Xueming saw Cui Yong's expression, which was no different from that of a dead dog, his eyelids twitched, and he preemptively said, "Can you afford to take responsibility for interfering with the work of our various committees?"
Director Zhao wasn't easily intimidated, and upon seeing Lai Xueming's demeanor, he knew he was bluffing. Moreover, he had a considerable amount of evidence in his possession.
"Director Lai, in order to maintain the fairness and impartiality of the judicial process, our police station doesn't need to explain things to you. As for the responsibility you mentioned..."
Director Zhao deliberately dragged out his words, looking at Lai Xueming meaningfully, "Don't worry, our procedures for handling the case are reasonable and legal, and I can assure you that our police will not wrong an innocent person, nor will we let any bad person go free!"
He spoke the next sentence with such righteous indignation that Lai Xueming's pupils contracted.
“I didn’t mean to question Director Zhao. Don’t overthink it. Although we are in different departments, we are all working for the same purpose: to eliminate evil and uphold justice.”
After saying that, he turned to his men and said, "Where are the search warrant and arrest documents? Show them to me!"
Immediately someone responded and brought out what he wanted.
Lai Xueming looked at Ye Weiwei arrogantly: "You're Ye Weiwei? So you're the one who refused to cooperate with the work of the various committees and even injured their staff? I've brought the search warrant and arrest warrant. Come with us now."
Ye Weiwei saw the people behind Lai Xueming approaching her and shouted, "Wait!"
The footsteps stopped.
Lai Xueming glared at Ye Weiwei with displeasure, his eyes flashing with danger and ruthlessness. "What? You still want to obstruct our committees from handling the case? Do you know that if you refuse to cooperate, we have the right to arrest you by force!"
Ye Weiwei chuckled, "Director Lai, is it? You're all fat but your heart is as small as a pinhole, that won't do! I'm not here to obstruct your committees' investigations this time; on the contrary, I'm here sincerely to help you solve the case as soon as possible!"
