Xie Lanzhi glanced at Tian Liwei and asked pointedly, "Brother Mingwei is being controlled by someone. Secretary Tian doesn't know anything about this?"
Tian Liwei's face was heavy, and he said, "Deputy Secretary Qi often works for three days and rests for two days. I'm busy with the demolition of Yunzhen South District, planning and designing the trade city, and the Beijing-Zhenzhou Expressway project. How can I have the time to pay attention to Deputy Secretary Qi's private life?"
Xie Lanzhi seemed to agree with this statement and nodded secretly: "I misunderstood Uncle Tian. It is really too much work for you to manage such a big business like Yunzhen."
Tian Liwei replied modestly: "It's not hard at all. It's my duty to work for Yunzhen, to help the local economy grow steadily and to improve the living standards of the people!"
Xie Lanzhi stood up first: "You have worked so hard, I, as a junior, should not disturb you any further, I will go back first."
Tian Liwei quickly stood up and saw them off: "Okay, I'll take you and your niece-in-law."
Xie Lanzhi held Qin Shu's arm and walked out of the meeting room. When they passed Qi Mingwei, whose clothes were soaked with sweat, the couple stopped.
Xie Lanzhi glanced at Qi Mingwei, who was unable to speak and looked for help.
He lowered his eyes and asked Qin Shu: "Ah Shu, can I take out the needle now?"
"able!"
Qin Shu's technique of removing the needle was quite skilled and she completed it in the blink of an eye.
Xie Lanzhi ordered: "Amuti, you help Deputy Secretary Qi, let's go."
"Yes, Brother Lan——"
Amuti walked to Qi Mingwei's side and helped the man with weak legs to walk out.
"etc!"
Tian Liwei's voice of dissuasion came from behind.
Xie Lanzhi slowly turned his head, his appearance was noble and elegant, and he asked with a clear and bright voice: "Uncle Tian, is there anything else?"
Tian Liwei said in a businesslike tone: "You can't take Qi Mingwei away. He has to stay to cooperate with the investigation."
Xie Lanzhi's smile did not fade, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "I'm afraid I can't obey your order."
Tian Liwei shook his head, relying on his seniority, and said in a teaching tone: "Lanzhi, you are not a member of our Yunzhen office compound, so you don't understand how complicated our procedures are. You have simple ideas when you are in the army, unlike us who need procedures for every step, and it's not like you guys are wielding sticks and guns..."
Qin Shu looked at Tian Liwei, who was smiling and taking advantage of his seniority, and a hint of annoyance flashed across her cold eyes.
In the end, he was just beating around the bush and saying that Xie Lanzhi was simple-minded but strong-limbed.
Xie Lanzhi smiled good-naturedly, but one sentence made Tian Liwei's face change.
"Uncle Tian, when I was coming here, I received a call from Uncle Qi. He asked me to personally send Brother Mingwei back to Beijing."
Tian Liwei's brows were tightly knitted, as if he had encountered a difficult problem.
After a while, he sighed and said, "Is that so? I'll tell my father-in-law (Jiang Lao) later. This matter is too complicated. It would be better if everyone doesn't have any misunderstandings and cause conflicts."
Xie Lanzhi stared at Tian Liwei with eyes as quiet as a deep pool, knowing that he was guilty and afraid.
Tian Liwei really didn't have the courage to touch anyone from the Qi family.
But his laissez-faire behavior undoubtedly made him an accomplice of the group of assassins.
Xie Lanzhi nodded slightly: "Then we will take our leave first."
Outside the police station.
Qin Shu had just sat on the back seat when Qi Mingwei was pushed forcefully into the car, followed by the tall and long-legged Xie Lanzhi.
As soon as he got in the car, he handcuffed Qi Mingwei tightly with handcuffs that he had picked up from somewhere.
"It's itchy! I'm itchy all over!"
"Medicine, give me medicine, just one pill..."
"No! Just give me half a piece, I'm itching to death!"
As soon as Qi Mingwei got into the car, he was no longer himself, and his whole body was shaking constantly.
Xie Lanzhi warned sternly: "Don't get angry before we get home, or I'll throw you out of the car!"
Qin Shu witnessed Xie Lanzhi's brutal behavior, which injured the wrist of Qi Mingwei, who was unconscious.
"Why do you let him suffer when a shot can solve the problem?"
She took out a golden needle from her sleeve, ready to make Qi Mingwei feel better, but was stopped by a hand that came from far away.
Xie Lanzhi's slender fingers with distinct joints covered the back of Qin Shu's hand.
"He still has some sense. Let him remember this pain so that he can learn his lesson in the future!"
