"Actually, I think you're overthinking it, senior brother. It's just a corruption case. This police chief, Du Qian, took bribes to do favors for others. At most, he can only be said to have been used by others!"
Besides, it's debatable whether the pharmacy owner is a member of the underground Communist Party. Moreover, Du Qian is still our subordinate. If we just throw him out like that, people will say that our Military Intelligence Department is afraid of the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
"If this Du Qian really were an underground party member, how could he have remained at large until today? The Party Affairs Investigation Department would have taken action long ago. Nothing serious will happen, Senior Brother, don't worry!" Ning Zhiheng seemed unconvinced, implying that Wei Liangbi was being overly cautious.
Wei Liangbi shook his head inwardly. He knew all too well that the police chief, Du Qian, was just a corrupt nobody. He was unwilling to go against the Party Affairs Investigation Department for the sake of such a nobody; in the end, it wasn't worth it.
But now he was in a bind. His confidants and junior apprentices were all planning to take over the matter, and it was difficult for him to remain uninvolved. Oh well, so be it. In the end, Wei Liangbi wasn't afraid of the party members in the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
“I’m not being overly cautious, I just think it’s not worth it! Old Shao disappointed me this time, but he’s been down on his luck for half his life, and now that he’s finally been promoted to major, I understand that he wants to earn some money to support himself! He has his temper too. I gave him the money directly, but he just wouldn’t take it. Maybe I’m being too demanding of him!” Wei Liangbi said slowly, his mood not very good.
When Shao Wenguang and I were friends, we went through thick and thin together. Shao Wenguang taught and helped him, but I still neglected him a bit and didn't consider things from his perspective.
"Go ahead and do it. I'll back you up if anything happens. We're brothers, so think twice before you mess with us!" Wei Liangbi patted Ning Zhiheng on the shoulder and said proudly.
"I know, it's not as serious as you think, senior brother. Believe it or not, I'll show my name, and those guys will pack their bags and leave without me even lifting a finger!" Ning Zhiheng said with a smile.
After sending Wei Liangbi home, Ning Zhiheng rushed back to his own home, washed up, and prepared to rest. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Ning Zhiheng opened the door and saw Shao Wenguang.
"Old Shao, come in quickly!" Ning Zhiheng ushered him in.
After closing the door, Shao Wenguang said with a smile, "There were too many people at the banquet today, so I didn't tell you, but Du Qian said that as long as you're willing to save his life, money is no problem!"
“Alright, have him come to my office tomorrow morning. I have some questions for him!” Ning Zhiheng nodded and said.
"Do we still want to see him?" Shao Wenguang asked.
“Of course, I need to confirm whether he is a real underground party member! If he really is, I can’t make this money no matter what. How can I feel at ease if I don’t ask him?” Ning Zhiheng said.
“Okay, I’ll go inform him now!” Shao Wenguang nodded and said. Ning Zhiheng was right. They couldn’t just take action based on Shao Wenguang’s side of the story. Knowing Ning Zhiheng as he did, he was a meticulous person who wouldn’t tolerate any nonsense!
Ning Zhiheng certainly wanted to verify what Du Qian didn't know, but his approach was exactly the opposite. If Du Qian was an underground party member, he would definitely cover for him and protect him with all his might. But if Du Qian was just a corrupt official, then he wouldn't be polite. He would have to skin Du Qian alive to live up to his fearsome reputation!
